Endless Extraction in a Game-Like World

Sylvia’s figure flickered as she shot towards the sky.

"What a strange place."

Sylvia looked down at the cave below.

She had been trapped inside a strange illusion beneath her.

The problem with the illusion was that it trapped her in a place where she was repeatedly forced to hone her combat experience.

Every time she fought, her mind reset, and she returned to where she had begun with all the experience she had gained.

As a result, she had obtained an artifact.

She stared at the data card in her hand.

[God Of Combat’s Training Zone (Divine, 4-Star): When inside, you can hone your combat experience and combat IQ and train yourself indefinitely.]

She looked around.

She was in what appeared to be a paradise-like place.

If she wasn’t wrong, this was not related to any other world. It was related to the gods.

So far, the beasts she had encountered here, aside from the artifact of the God of Combat, were all Divine Beasts.

As a result, she had gained a fair amount of combat experience and levels.

"How long did I even spend there?"

Sylvia was curious.

She had no track of time, but it must have been at least a year. She had also spent that time perfecting her True Progenitor Transformation.

As a result, her stats had doubled.

[Rank]: King

[Level]: Level 20 (342/4,000)

[Combat Score]: 83.11 (Ace-Rank)

[HP]: [852/852]

[Mana]: [852/852]

[Mind Power]: [690/690]

[Aura]: 70/70

Just then, from the corner of her eyes, she saw a humanoid figure.

"Hm?"

Sylvia tilted her beautiful head before stepping forward.

In an instant, she appeared before the humanoid figure.

"???"

The figure flinched when Sylvia suddenly appeared beside her.

"Please leave me alone. I wasn’t trying to hurt you."

The figure immediately apologized.

She was a girl with makeup on her face, and she wore ancient clothing that looked like something from ancient China.

It was quite interesting.

Hearing this, Sylvia raised her eyes with an amused smile.

"What are you doing here? Are you part of this place?"

As she asked, she activated her Sinner’s Eyes.

The person she was looking at was not a bad person.

"I was here on behalf of my mother to get essence pills."

"Essence Pills?"

Sylvia tilted her head.

"What is that?"

"Miss, you don’t know what an essence pill is?"

The girl raised her eyes in surprise.

"Nope."

Sylvia replied casually as she eyed the girl, waiting for an explanation.

"Well..."

The girl looked at Sylvia awkwardly.

"We don’t know much about it either, but it grants us lifespan and other good stuff."

Hearing this, Sylvia was taken aback.

A pill that granted lifespan?

Wasn’t that insane?

It most definitely was.

"I also want one. Can you take me there?"

The girl wore a hesitant look.

Seeing her hesitation, Sylvia smiled, but her eyes stared daggers at the girl.

"You will take me there, right~?"

"If you don’t take me there, I will break your bones."

She said it in such a sweet tone that no one would think such cruel words had come from Sylvia.

"Y-Yes."

The girl immediately agreed.

With her in tow, they soon entered a cave.

Inside was a dispenser beneath a statue of what appeared to be some sort of celestial warrior.

Green pills were gathered around the dispenser.

Seeing this, Sylvia realized she could extract them.

Her talent allowed her to extract essence, and these pills were made from pure essence.

But essence had only given her combat scores so far.

How would it grant her lifespan?

There was only one way to find out.

She extracted the essence.

The following instant, an endless amount of vitality surged through her body and completely revitalized her.

[+10 Years Of Lifespan]

[Current Lifespan: 1010 Years]

Vampires in general lived for a very long time, and they could continue increasing their lifespan through the blood of other beings.

Her mother could easily live for 500 years, while she, as the Progenitor, could live for 1,000 years.

But gaining ten years from a single pill was still surprising.

"W-Well, Miss, can I take a few too? If I don’t take these pills back, my mother will kill me."

Sylvia glanced at her and smiled.

"Nope."

Hearing this, the girl’s face immediately turned pale.

Sylvia laughed when she saw this.

This girl was an Ace-Rank as well, but she was so timid that it felt funny to Sylvia.

"I was kidding."

Sylvia took a few pills and gave them to the girl.

The girl immediately beamed with joy.

She bowed her head repeatedly and thanked Sylvia before fleeing the area, saying she was going back.

Sylvia didn’t mind.

Instead, she put her focus back on the statue and the place around it.

The pills were dispensed from this statue.

As far as she could tell, this was not some magical statue.

Then this dispenser must be connected to somewhere else.

She immediately began looking around and found an opening.

It went straight down.

She jumped in without hesitation.

As soon as she reached the bottom, she was flabbergasted.

All around her were green pills, yellow pills, and purple pills.

"Just what..."

Sylvia was confused at the sight.

Why were there so many of them here?

This didn’t make her happy.

It made her more suspicious.

There was something sketchy going on in this dungeon.

This place did not have a direct pathway from Earth.

Instead, it was connected to a dungeon where she had found the portal.

She had jumped into it after sensing an immense amount of divine energy.

The dungeon this place was connected to had already been cleared.

She had already taken out its core and received the rewards for it.

The dungeon was now slowly being destroyed, and she had at most a few hours before it fully disintegrated.

That was also why she hadn’t waited for Caelus.

Now, seeing something like this made her confused and suspicious.

There was something going on here, but she couldn’t understand what it was.

She then walked up to the golden pills and decided to extract one.

Immediately, a light shot into her.

[Ding! You’ve acquired the skill: Celestial Hand (Epic, 4-Star)]

"???"

Sylvia was pleasantly surprised.

So the golden pills corresponded to skills and abilities?

It was surprising.

She immediately extracted a few more.

[Ding! You’ve acquired the Trait: Heavenly Flames (Epic, 4-Star)]

[Ding! You’ve acquired the Trait: Earth-Bending (Epic, 4-Star)]

[Ding! You’ve acquired the Skill: Energy Jamming (Legendary, 4-Star)]

[Ding! You’ve acquired the Skill: Physical Attack Resistance (Rare, 4-Star)]

[Ding! You’ve acquired the Attribute: Holy]

[Ding! You’ve acquired the Talent: Ice Manipulation (Lower B-Rank)]

"???"

Sylvia appeared even more confused than before.

She could get talents from these golden pills as well?

But instead of feeling elated, she felt uncomfortable.

At the same time, she casually waved her hand. Holy light followed behind it, making her look magical and beautiful.

She was a vampire with the Holy Attribute now.

She then casually took a few pills from the batch and threw them into her inventory.

She stored a lot of them for Caelus.

After checking the place, she would take more and leave.

She was testing the waters to see if any trap would activate if she took the pills by hand instead of extracting them with her Progenitor Talent.

After that, her attention turned to the pipes above the piles of pills.

They were connected to another room.

Following them, she saw two openings above where the pipes flowed into.

In the center was a door.

Seeing it, she immediately went inside.

She was really curious.

Where were these pills coming from?

The door slowly opened, and complex magic circles appeared before her eyes.

But just as quickly, she frowned.

She felt an extremely powerful death aura coming from this place.

Then the magic circles cleared.

What she saw made her freeze.

Spider webs covered the entire place, and cocoons hung from the ceiling.

All of the cocoons contained life force.

Around each cocoon was a tube, the same kind of tube connected to the dispenser in the next room.

Sylvia immediately became serious.

She knew there was something sketchy about this place.

Now, she understood what it was.

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!

Just then, from the other side, a goose walked over.

Its eyes were filled with golden light, and it wore some sort of celestial garment.

"Interesting. To think we would have visitors in the Corpse Realm."

The Goose spoke fluent English as it addressed Sylvia.

"The spatial storm must be the reason. To think this realm would connect to a lower Tier 1 World."

"What is this place?"

Sylvia kept her calm and asked.

"What do you think?"

The Goose smiled and laughed.

"I’m sure after seeing the cocoons, you should have an inkling of the situation."

"This is a farm."

The Goose pointed around.

"A farm for the Celestial Court."

"The cocoons you see contain living beings. They were all brought here for one true purpose. To help the lords of the court and their servants achieve true transcendence and remain eternal."

Sylvia’s expression turned complicated when she heard his words.

She felt both uncomfortable and enraged.

Those pills were similar to the corruption of the Hollow Beast.

They were using the same method to make these pills.

"You guys call yourself the Celestial Court while doing such vile things?"

Sylvia laughed at the irony.

"This is truly laughable."

"I’m not an ally of justice, but you guys should call yourselves the Devil’s Court."

Sylvia’s thin smile vanished as her eyes turned dead cold.

"You sure have a scary face for such a beautiful girl."

The Goose smiled.

"You have a beauty capable of surpassing many heavenly beauties in our faction. How about it? I will introduce you to my lord, and you shall become his concubine and live in the court from now on."

"It would be a pity to kill a beautiful girl like you."

"Is your lord a manchild who couldn’t come down here to take me away?"

Sylvia raised an eyebrow.

"He has to use his servant to find women for him?"

"Your Lord must be a shy femboy."

"A what?"

The Goose was dumbfounded.

But just as quickly, the Goose’s tone shifted.

"Alright, enough chit-chat. Since you’ve trespassed into the Heavenly Faction’s territory, you shall die."

"Your corpse will be used as a sacrifice for more pill making."

BOOM!

A terrifying aura erupted from the Goose, completely overwhelming the surroundings in an instant.

Sylvia’s senses immediately told her that even if she tried to fight this Goose, she would never win.

This power existed beyond the scope of Ace-Rank!

She had to run!

[Skill Activated: Blood Empowerment]

She activated the skill she had received from the second trial of the special gate in Brazil.

This would boost her power to a whole new level, but once it wore off, her bloodlust would become immense.

But she had no other choice.

She had not unlocked a transformation beyond the True Progenitor Transformation after perfecting it.

This was her only choice.

BOOM!

A blood-red aura erupted from Sylvia as she shot out of the place with immense speed.

The Goose was taken aback, but it immediately gave chase.

"You cannot leave, beautiful. You will forever be assimilated into the Corpse Realm."

"You can try~"

Sylvia laughed loudly as she became even faster.

She put an immense distance between herself and the Goose before shooting into the portal she had entered through.

She vanished into it without hesitation.

The Goose tried to cross through, but golden lightning pierced through the sky and stopped it in its tracks.

"Tch."

..

On the other side, Sylvia’s figure flickered out of the portal and shot straight towards the portal of the dungeon leading to Earth.

She was immensely fast.

The entire dungeon crumbled apart from her speed as she passed through the final portal.

As soon as she emerged, she saw a familiar figure standing not far from the gate.

Caelus.
