"Once I use Soul Extraction, I won’t be able to turn the target into an undead afterward."
Kaiser glanced at Maxim again.
"That means I need to choose carefully when I use it."
He looked back at the skill information.
"Still, being able to steal a powerful talent is worth it."
Kaiser closed the skill window.
"For now, let’s see what kind of talent this bastard has."
He activated Mystic Soul Eyes.
A strange sensation spread through his eyes as his vision changed.
Maxim’s body was still lying unconscious on the ground, but Kaiser could now see something completely different.
A faint golden soul appeared inside Maxim’s body.
Information began appearing within Kaiser’s vision.
Kaiser smiled.
"Interesting."
A detailed status window appeared in front of Kaiser.

Kaiser looked at Maxim’s Cosmic Sheet again and frowned.
"Huh? What a fucking weak guy."
He looked at Maxim with disdain.
"Did he really spend all his time enslaving women with this talent?"
Kaiser shook his head.
"I thought anyone with a mind-control-related talent would at least be strong."
"But this guy is fucking weak."
"Tch."
Kaiser spat to the side before deactivating Death Unity.
Selene immediately materialized beside him.
Kaiser looked at her.
"Go and heal everyone in the village."
Selene nodded.
"Understood, Master."
She turned around and began walking toward the injured villagers.
Before leaving the room, however, she stepped on Maxim’s lower body.
Crack!
Maxim’s eyes suddenly opened.
"ARGH!"
His scream lasted only for a moment before he immediately fainted again from the pain.
Kaiser instinctively covered his own lower body.
"Fuck, that was scary."
He waited until Selene had left before looking back at Maxim.
"Anyway, let’s finish this."
Kaiser activated Soul Extraction again.
This time, he targeted Maxim’s talent.
[Target confirmed.]
[Selected ability: Demonic Eyes of Desire.]
[Beginning Soul Extraction.]
The pinkish power within Maxim’s soul was forcibly pulled toward Kaiser.
[Ability extraction successful.]
[You have acquired the S-Rank Talent: Demonic Eyes of Desire.]
[The target’s soul has been completely destroyed.]
[The target can no longer be resurrected or transformed into an undead through normal methods.]
[You have killed the Awakened: Maxim.]
A final notification suddenly appeared.
[The Cosmic System has judged Maxim to be a criminal.]
[According to the laws of the Cosmic World, a suitable reward has been granted for eliminating the criminal.]
[You have obtained a Legendary-Rank Item: Soul-Clearing Bell.]
Kaiser raised an eyebrow.
"A Legendary item?"
He immediately opened its information.
══════════════════════════════════════
SOUL-CLEARING BELL
══════════════════════════════════════
Rank: Legendary
Type: Spiritual / Defensive
Description:
A mysterious bell capable of protecting the user’s mind and soul from hostile mental and psychic influences.
Passive Effect: Absolute Mental Protection
Constantly protects the user’s mind and soul from mental interference.
Provides extremely high resistance against:
• Mind Control
• Mental Manipulation
• Psychic Attacks
• Illusions
• Soul Interference
• Memory Manipulation
• Mental Seals
• Fear Effects
• Charm Effects
• Mental Corruption
• Spiritual Pollution
Weaker mental and psychic attacks are automatically nullified.
Stronger attacks are significantly weakened before reaching the user’s mind.
Active Effect: Soul-Cleansing Bell
The user can ring the bell to release a wave of spiritual energy.
The wave purifies harmful mental and spiritual effects from the user and nearby allies.
It can remove mind control, mental interference, psychic corruption, illusions, mental seals, and similar effects depending on their strength.
Soul Resonance
When the bell detects a hostile mental or psychic attack, it automatically resonates with the user’s soul and strengthens its defensive effect.
The stronger the incoming attack, the more power the bell can temporarily release to resist it.
Durability: Permanent
Mana Cost: None for passive effects
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Kaiser stared at the item for several seconds.
"This is actually pretty useful."
He looked at the bell in his hand.
"With this, I won’t have to worry much about mind control or psychic attacks."
Kaiser stored the Soul-Clearing Bell in his inventory.
"Getting a Legendary item just for killing a criminal isn’t bad."
He then looked toward the village outside.
Selene was already moving from one injured villager to another, using her abilities to heal them.
Kaiser nodded.
"At least something good came out of this mess."
Kaiser stepped outside the room and looked over the village.
Maxim’s control over the villagers had disappeared.
People who had been forced to obey him were finally free from his influence.
Many of them collapsed to the ground, while others began crying as they realized what had happened to them.
Some of the women were in such a broken state that they even tried to harm themselves.
Kaiser immediately noticed what was happening.
"Stop."
He took out the small Soul-Clearing Bell and activated it.
A gentle spiritual wave spread throughout the village.
The effect was immediate.
The crying gradually stopped, and the villagers became calmer.
Kaiser looked at the gathered villagers.
"Everyone, this is Selene."
"She’s a high-ranking vampire, and her Blood Manipulation can heal your injuries completely."
"There won’t be any scars left from what that bastard did to you."
He pointed toward Maxim’s lifeless body.
The villagers looked at Maxim with complicated expressions before slowly nodding.
Selene stepped forward.
She raised one hand, and countless strands of blood energy emerged from her body.
The blood energy gently surrounded the injured villagers.
Their wounds began closing one after another.
Broken bones were restored, damaged flesh regenerated, and the physical injuries they had suffered gradually disappeared.
Selene continued moving through the village, healing everyone she could find.
The villagers began helping one another as they recovered.
Some gathered medicine and food, while others helped those who were still too weak to walk.
