And now, the [Tier Two Ghost Transformation] has further adapted and optimized his body, making this explosive state much more stable, in other words, the energy consumption is not as much as before.
No longer is he the "three-second real man," but he has become more enduring.
The black and white ghost energy entwining his body has also increased significantly, and this energy can be integrated into magic to enhance its effects.
Aside from boosting magic, his strength, agility, speed, and other physical qualities have also improved greatly.
His six-dimensional attributes were already excellent, and now after the Ghost Transformation, they have increased significantly, making him feel frighteningly strong.
He didn’t dare to move casually.
Because he felt that he hadn’t fully mastered this power yet, and if he was not careful, he might accidentally tear down his house.
He sensed that [Tier Two Ghost Transformation] had more abilities, but this was not a convenient place to test them.
Gauss dismissed the Ghost Transformation.
The ghost energy retracted into his body, the various changes in the ghost form disappeared, and he returned to a human state.
Perhaps because it was only activated briefly and he didn’t take any actions, this activation felt like it consumed virtually nothing.
"Not bad."
Gauss, feeling the advancement, showed a satisfied smile on his face.
However, for now, the [Hard Scale Bloodline] will have to be shelved.
Although they are both transformation-type talents, with different points of emphasis, the difference in quality means that for the time being, [Tier Two Ghost Transformation] will occupy the spotlight over [Hard Scale Bloodline].
It might have to wait until [Hard Scale Bloodline] also advances to purple quality to reclaim its place.
The [Hard Scale Bloodline] talent line still has its unique advantages, being more comprehensive, and is able to suppress the bloodlines of common demons like goblins, Kobolds, and Jackal-Wolf People.
After the war, no one came looking for Gauss for the entire day.
Allowing him and his companions to have plenty of rest.
From last night’s battle, besides Gauss gaining significantly, his teammates also had many gains.
Serdur had already sensed he was about to advance from level 4 to 5.
Albena was also on the verge of advancement.
Although the others did not level up, if there were a progress bar, it should have moved forward by more than half.
This is the rich experience brought by a single battle.
The next day.
Gauss received an invitation from Abelhard to go with his teammates to the Adventurer’s Guild.
The streets of Gray Rock Town were gradually restoring order.
Although potholes could still be seen on the roads, the boulders had been cleared away.
Some shops along the street had already begun repairing broken doors and windows, with the sound of banging hammers ringing continuously.
Seeing Gauss and the others stepping onto the street, the residents signaled to pay their respects, giving regards to the great contributors of the recently concluded defense battle of Gray Rock Town.
After a full day of fermentation, the situation from the battlefield yesterday had also been communicated to all residents of Gray Rock Town in the form of public documents from the town hall.
Most people heard that it was Gauss who slew the demon leader that waged war on Gray Rock Town.
Knowing the demon leader was dead instantly lifted the downtrodden spirits of the residents, calming their previously anxious and restless hearts.
Gauss is now like a stabilizing anchor for Gray Rock Town.
This is also the reason Abelhard asked him to walk the streets today.
"I heard Lord Gauss isn’t married yet."
"Don’t even think about it."
"How will you know if you don’t try?"
A few young women, carrying baskets, paused in the street, their faces shy.
Gauss and the others deliberately walked around Gray Rock Town, taking a large detour, finally arriving at the Adventurer’s Guild.
The Adventurer’s Guild was bustling today.
Adventurers who participated in last night’s battle were each able to receive a reward for their merits; if unfortunately, they died, the guild would send someone to pass the money to their registered relatives or beneficiaries.
Stepping into the guild hall, the originally lively crowd soon quieted down. Following the indication of their companions, many adventurers collectively looked at Gauss and the others entering the hall.
For a moment, various emotions concentrated on Gauss.
Some were extremely excited, viewing Gauss as their role model, hoping that one day they could also save a town single-handedly, turning the tide of battle; while others, although admiring, realized they could never reach his level of power, where he dared to charge into thousands of monsters with only a few companions, something unimaginable to them, as they already struggled in fighting those monsters from behind walls.
Going up to the second floor, Gauss saw the Night Owl Squad.
Last night they also participated in the battle on the city walls, and luckily, everyone was out of danger.
However...
His gaze fell on the archer Oliver, who now had an empty place where his right hand used to be, with only a small section of the upper arm remaining.
Noticing Gauss’s gaze, Oliver’s face remained calm.
"I lost my right hand to an ogre, but at least I kept my life."
He explained the reason for his injury in a calm tone.
If his arm were severed by other means rather than being eaten by an ogre, there might have been a chance to find a priest shortly with hopes of reattaching it.
Gauss was silent for a while, then spoke.
"What are your plans for the future?"
"With the war stipend added, I’ve saved enough money to live a decent life in retirement." Oliver had evidently discussed this with the others.
