Daniel slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, his face calm as he tried to quiet his mind before officially starting.
He had decided to enter seclusion for several reasons. The most important was his attempt to reach Rank A, but there were other reasons as well.
For example, he wanted to review the panels of those Rank A Corruption Worshipers he had killed and turned into the Fallen, and see if any of them had useful skills worth copying.
The same went for that False S Rank Corruption Worshiper. With the power that man had, he must have possessed some good skills.
Another reason was to check on the state of his Fallen. It had been a long time since he had paid attention to their growth, especially his earliest Fallen such as Vorak, Azrak, and Elarion.
These Fallen had been with him for a long time, but because of everything that had happened, he hadn’t had the chance to talk to them or check their situations.
Even though they were Fallen, they were still his subordinates. It was a master’s responsibility to look after his people.
Then he opened his own panel to take a look.

A smile appeared on his face as he looked at the panel. It had been a while since he last checked it, and he hadn’t expected this much change.
What was even more interesting was that his stats were no longer just giant numbers. Instead, letters had appeared next to them. He wasn’t too surprised since he had heard about this before.
Apparently, when stats reached seven digits, an "M" was added for each extra zero. Two "MM" meant his stats were now eight digits.
He let out a nostalgic sigh. Just a few months ago, his stats had barely reached triple digits, and now? They were eight digits—numbers terrifyingly high for his rank.
These stats were at least on the level of a Half-Step S Rank, almost comparable to a False S Rank. Of course, the main reason his stats had risen this much was because of absorbing ten percent of the stats from so many Corruption Worshipers.
With their help, his power had skyrocketed to insane levels. Even though he had died once and lost one of his Fallen, it was still worth it in his eyes.
Then he closed his own panel and opened the panels of the Corruption Worshipers he had devoured. Seven different panels appeared in front of him. He gave them all a quick look before deciding to start from the right.
He checked the stats and skills of the first one. The stats weren’t anything special, and most of the skills looked average to him.
Only one skill barely caught his attention.
[ Dome of Destruction (S): Creates a large dome that completely nullifies all magic skills for three minutes. However, if the attacker’s power is too high, the dome will shatter. ]
Daniel didn’t think much about it and clicked copy. He didn’t have many defensive skills, so copying one could help a lot.
Next, he checked the second panel. This one’s stats were slightly better, but the skills weren’t much different. In fact, some of them were exactly the same as the first one.
[ Infernal Bloom (S): Flowers born from the darkest forces. When activated, they grow like fungi, absorbing all of the enemy’s energy and turning it into corruption energy, which is then sent to the user’s body. ]
Still, this skill caught his attention. His eyes lit up as he read the description. He hadn’t expected something this useful.
At first glance, since the energy was turned into corruption energy, it seemed useless to him. But that wasn’t the case.
He actually had a special method to reach Rank A, and if it worked, this skill could be a huge help in the future.
Especially in large-scale battles, this skill would be incredibly effective. If he suddenly activated it and absorbed the energy of many enemies, they would be practically paralyzed.
Without hesitation, he clicked copy.
[ You have copied the Rank S Skill Infernal Bloom ]
Then his attention moved to the third panel. This time he skimmed over the stats and went straight to the skills.
This Corruption Worshiper’s skills were noticeably better than the last two, but they were still in the B to S Rank range. There weren’t any higher-level skills, which was a bit disappointing.
But when he thought about it, it made sense. SS or SSS Rank skills weren’t something just anyone could have. Even the fact that he had so many was considered an anomaly.
Then he noticed the only S Rank skill this one had and clicked on its description.
[ Void Mirror (S): From nothing, everything can be cloned. The user can activate this skill to clone anything placed in front of the mirror. ]
[ Note: To clone living beings, you must inject life energy into the mirror to create a living clone. ]
[ Second Note: Cloned living beings will have no power unless you inject a portion of your own power into the mirror, which then transfers it to the clone. ]
His eyes lit up as he read. He hadn’t expected to find a cloning skill. After all, such skills were extremely rare.
He was even a little curious how this Corruption Worshiper had obtained such a valuable skill. Maybe he should summon him later and ask.
Without hesitation, he copied the skill. It was the kind of skill that could be incredibly useful in the future, especially for the organization he wanted to build.
After that, he moved on to the fourth Corruption Worshiper’s panel—only to be shocked by what he saw.
