<h4>Chapter 607 Mysteries of Soul</h4>


    Jacob''s mind reeled when he heard Nyx''s statement, ''If she can ce nightmare conqueror seeds in this ce, doesn''t this mean I can kill anyone as I wish? But if someone lost their dreamscape realm, then they won''t be able to enter this ce, right? This would naturally draw the attention of the entity that ced this whole setup here. Furthermore, I can''t act recklessly until I find the true reason behind this ce.''


    "Nyx, I want you to pay attention and tell me what is happening. We might be able to discover something. Other than that, do not interfere recklessly. Even I don''t know what would happen if we truly draw this person''s attention." Jacob sternlymanded.


    Nyx also had the same thought, and she quickly agreed.


    "Tsk, what a damn luck. I just had to encounter a freaking giant. These battles are always unfair." War Hammer mumbled with a bitter look as he looked at the towering giant.


    Jacob''s focus also turned to War Hammer, and only three seconds remained before the battle would start. But he didn''t dare to underestimate War Hammer even if he was like an ant.


    "Battle Starts!" Dark Rose''s voice reverberated on the battlefield.


    "Earth Spikes!" War Hammer didn''t even waste a second as he quickly instant cast an earth spell.


    Although they were not of unique rank and couldn''t use the aura and spirit, their magic abilities could be emted. Upon the character creation, the user was given the choice to use their rectified stars to create magic abilities within the realm of epic rank.


    Jacob naturally selected his own magic abilities, and his advantage was he had two magic cores. But he wasn''t nning on showing them off unless he had to. Especially now that he knew this ce was not a virtual ce but a dreamscape realm.


    The moment War Hammer cast a spell, he cast his own, "Water Rush!"


    A gentle blue light covered Jacob''s body, turning it into liquid, and he easily passed through the spikes.


    "Water element, shit!" War Hammer cursed as he knew the Water element counters the powerful spells of the earth element, and without aura or spirit, it was very hard to counter water-type abilities.


    "Earth st!" He swings his giant war hammer brandished with emerald energy.


    Jacob''s eyes were as cold as ever as his swords were already revolving around his hands, and seeing the iing hammer, he didn''t intend to dodge as one of his swords directly swung into the hammer.


    ''What kind of swords are those?'' War Hammer was shocked to see the swords revolving like clock hands; it was an extremely peculiar sword style.


    Furthermore, Jacob was taking full advantage of his size and physique as he directly shed with the hammer with one hand, and his other hand was free. But War Hammer needs to hold the hammer with both hands.


    "Earth Shield, Earth Barrier!" War Hammer double cast protective earth spells against Jacob''s other sword as the earth element had the most powerful defensive ability.


    ''Water control, Water Edge!'' Jacob''s other sword suddenly brandished with the water element, and the next moment, that water energy turned to revolve at a high intensity, making the de''s sharp edge even shaper.


    While shing with the war hammer with one sword, he shed his other sword like a scythe towards War Hammer''s neck. His hands were extremely long, and it easily reached its destination.


    With his ridiculous physical prowess, the sword passed through the earth''s shield and barrier like a piece of jelly, and before War Hammer could react, it shed past his neck while his hammer sted into the side.


    "Tsk, you freak…" War Hammer bitterly cursed as his body turned into particles, and he vanished without a trace.


    "Congrattions to Dictator on your first arena victory!


    "1 Dark Credit has been added to your ount!


    "Do you want to search for another opponent?"


    Jacob didn''t immediately answer as he was waiting for Nyx''s analysis of War Hammer''s death. Furthermore, he could sense that his magic power instantly replenished to its full capacity.


    "How magical!" Nyx eximed at this moment, "After this dwarf''s death, a tiny portion of his psyche vitality was separated from him and then directly absorbed by this dreamscape realm! This method of increasing the dreamscape realm''s strength is slow but effective. Not only that, but I might be able to take that wisp of psyche vitality for myself and absorb it to strengthen your dreamscape realm!"


    Jacob''s eyes gleamed with astonishment as he suddenly thought of the true purpose of this ce. "Could it be that the owner of this ce created it so that it could strengthen its own dreamscape realm by secretly absorbing others'' psyche?


    "Psyche could be considered other people''s soul, right? Whoever is doing it didn''t want others to find out, and that fatigue and resting period are probably ced for this exact reason."


    "Indeed, although there is only a tiny portion of the soul vitality, the person would still feel mental fatigue. But unlike me, the soul vitality taken by this person can''t cause permanent damage unless someone loses more than half of their soul vitality. They can easily recover from it with special medicines that help in soul recovery.


    "Moreover, when I devour others'' dreamscape realms, I directly devour 70% of their soul, not just vitality; there is a huge difference, which causes a victim''s death eventually since it''s impossible to recover one dreamscape realm.


    "This also brings me to another point: Virtual Liquid seemed to have such properties to keep the soul stable and even heal it somewhat. However, losing a portion of their soul vitality for a long time will leave permanent damage, and it can affect them in many ways.


    "Nheless, whoever is doing this is an ingenious person. They are taking others'' soul vitalities without even the victims finding it out, and the most ridiculous thing is they are delivering it willingly.


    "But the most important part is, whoever is doing it, they are only proficient in the dreamscape realm, but they might not have any idea about devouring other people''s dreamscape realm.


    "After all, a dreamscape realm and a soul also contain a person''s superego and memories. They can easily lose their true self if someone recklessly tries to devour them. Only I canpletely purify the superego and erase it so that it won''t affect me.


    "Even that insect (Autarch) didn''t have such ability since he didn''t consume others'' superegos. He consumed memories from brains, which are entirely different from consuming souls. If I can be more proficient in my talent, I''m confident I can take over this entire dreamscape realm!" Nyx''s voice was filled with dark intent as she was finally able to peer through the truth behind this dreamscape realm.


    Before, she was afraid that this existence had the same abilities as her, but now, she knows this person only had a small attainment of dreamscape magic and used it for plundering others'' soul vitalities. If she could attain the same level of power, she would clean the floor with this person.


    But for now, she can sneakily take away those soul vitalities without being detected. Still, it was a huge boon since this ce was filled with powerful people. Even three steps of legend experts were present, and their souls were naturally powerful.


    Jacob alsoprehended this much as his eyes shimmered with a hint of greed, and a hint of shock shed past his eyes when he thought of something, "Wait, dreamscape realm can also empower the soul? Why didn''t you tell me before?"


    Jacob knew that to control the Eyes of Judge, he needed a powerful soul, so he was on the lookout for such treasures. But he didn''t think that Nyx also had such ability. Didn''t this mean he was searching high and low for a treasure, but he had it all along?


    "You never asked, and I think that you already knew since the dreamscape realm is also rted to the soul. Furthermore, the lifespan I absorb is also part of the soul called the Soul Vitality, which contains a person''s spiritual lifespan.


    "I have the ability to convert soul vitality into life vitality, which is the reason your lifespan increases. On the other hand, my portion umtes until it''s enough for my evolution, and only then will the dreamscape realm be stronger!"


    Jacob was bbergasted as only now did he truly understand the truth behind his lifespan. He always thought that it was just Nyx''s ability, but he never dug deeper into it.


    But now, he was regretting not understanding it deeply enough.


    "If that''s true, can you divert this soul vitality directly to my soul and strengthen it instead? Just like what this person is doing!" Jacob asked quickly.


    "Oh, you mean to increase your soul vitality instead of life vitality? Although I don''t try it before, after seeing what is happening here, I think it''s possible. I''ll try the next time I devour someone''s soul." Nyx replied with some uncertainty.


    Jacob clenched his fist with hope, ''If it''s really possible, then I can finally make progress with Eyes of Judge. This is really an unexpected windfall!'' Jacob''s eyes suddenly turned cold as he stated, "Since you can absorb that portion of the soul vitality, let''s try with it. You are free to snatch it as long as you won''t leave behind any clue."


    Jacob then loudly dered, "Search for another opponent!"
