Chapter 1880. Distributing Bloodline Vials

The stat increase of Void Sword Saint was, as expected, better than the Brave Swordsmaster. Each level-up provided Jack with the following increase.

Stamina +200
Strength +15
Dexterity +22
Intelligence +5
Endurance +10

Out of all the level-ups, Jack amassed 84 free attribute points, 30 free skill points for both Void Sword Saint and Time Sage, and 24 free skill points for Beast Monarch.
Jack spent all the free attribute points on his endurance stat. As for his skill points, he sent them to max-level all the new skills from his special classes.
He spent 19 Void Sword Saint's free skills points to level up Void-tearing Slash. At level 20, the instant chaos damage inflicted when the space was torn was 3000%. The damage every second to those trapped in the torn space increased to 200%.
He also spent 19 Time Sage's free skill points to max out Time Stop. Each level-up increased the spell's duration by 0.2 seconds. At level 20, Time Stop lasted 5 seconds.
He then max-leveled Monarch Form by spending 19 Beast Monarch's free skill points. At max level, his beast form gained an additional 200% HP, totaling an additional 400% HP when he transformed. Furthermore, he gained a few new skills when he was in Supreme Dragon Form.
Jack used the remaining free skill points to level up his other skills.
He spent the remaining 11 Void Sword Saint's free skill points to level up Teleport Slash to level 12. Each level increases the skill's maximum distance by 1.5 meters. At level 12, this skill could teleport him 36.5 meters away.
The 11 Time Sage's free skill points were used to level up Hundred Mirages to level 20. At max level, this spell lasted 10 minutes and produced thirty copies.
The remaining 5 Beast Monarch's free skill points were spent to increase Wind Dash to level 6. He didn't stop there, though. Aside from these free skill points, his Container of Souls also contained many souls.
One other thing that made Chris' training dungeon different than other training dungeons was the monsters granted souls to Jack when they were killed. None of the monsters inside the training dungeon was at the caliber of a powerful native or boss, even when their levels and grades were high, so they didn't give many souls. Even so, he slew a substantial number of monsters during these two and a half months, so the accumulated number was still considerable.
The number of souls inside his container of souls was 9,200,000.
He spent 1,400,000 souls to level up Wind Dash further to its maximum level. The reason was so he could have better maneuverability during an air battle. Max-level Wind Dash gave him three dashes. The wind barrier generated at the end of the dash increased to 30 seconds.
Jack used the rest of the souls to upgrade the stars of his special classes' skills.
He spent 600,000 souls to upgrade superior acceleration to ten stars. The spell now increased his speed by 2000%. He then used 2,400,000 souls to max the Time Realm to ten stars. With max stars, the spell slowed all hostiles within its AOE by 70%. This meant enemies only had 30% of their normal speed inside Time Realm.
He then spent 6,000,000 souls to upgrade both the Void-tearing Slash and Time Stop to max ten stars. Each star of Void-tearing Slash increased the size and pulling power of the ripped space. The skill's duration also increased by one second. At ten stars, the skill lasted 20 seconds. Each star upgrade of Time Stop reduced the spell's cooldown by twelve minutes. At ten stars, the spell's cooldown was four hours.
With these upgrades, all the skills of his pinnacle special classes had max-levels and max-stars. Out of everyone, Jack was the only one who had this achievement.
Many of his skills and spells received star upgrades after using them continuously inside the training grounds. Three skills received their first star upgrades. The first was Field of Sword. Each star of this skill increased the number of conjured sword lights within the skill's AOE. The second was Iron Mammoth Stampede. Each star increased the number of summoned iron mammoths by one. Twenty-one iron mammoths appeared now when Jack used the skill. The third was Telekinesis. Each star increased the spell's power. Combined with Jack's intelligence stat, his Telekinesis could easily lift and incapacitate a special elite-grade monster of the same level.

"Is there truly no way to talk you people out of this?" Chris asked.
Jack and the others had expressed their intention to leave. They thought it was time for them to join the battle.
"We can't afford to wait that long. People out there need us," Four Winds said.
"Yeah. It will take us more than two weeks to get to level 99, not to mention the dude who has just returned," Paytowin pointed at Will. "In two more weeks, Master will become a God already."
"We prefer to take him down before he becomes one," Jet said. "Rather than relying on whatever council of twenty-four that sounds dubious."
"What do you mean dubious?" Chris asked. "That is a great plot. You people taking out the divinity with your hidden power. How cool is that?"
"I will kick your head for a plot!" Jet exclaimed. Paytowin held him back.
Chris turned to Wilted. Wilted noticed his stare. She said, "I'm with them."
Chris sighed. "Very well then… Just so you know, don't think you have seen all the devils have to offer just from the projection. They haven't gone all out yet. Well, Satan and Belphegor might have shown a little of their true powers, even if it's just for a short instant."
The memory of Satan using the Soul and Chaos Peak Flame and Belphegor turning into the bodybuilder-type came to them. Chris was right. Even though those two devils only used those abilities for a short time, they completely trashed the army. It was clear that the devils could win the war if they truly wished to. They were simply enjoying themselves by doing a slow conquest.
"If you all insist on facing the devils now, let me give you something to increase your survivability," Chris said. He took out a bunch of vials and laid them on a table.
"Bloodline vials?" Everyone could identify these items without using Inspect by now.
Chris nodded. "I noticed some of you still have low-grade bloodlines. Heck, some even don't have a bloodline. I'm confused as to why you call yourselves the best players. So, I go and fetch some bloodlines for you. All these bloodlines are unique grades."
"I don't recall we ever called ourselves the best players…," Paytowin muttered.
Aside from Jack, John, Grace, Paytowin, Red Death, Four Winds, Wilted Tree, and Spring Crown, the others only had super rare or lower-grade bloodlines. David and Arthur didn't even have any bloodline.
Fifteen people who needed the unique-grade bloodlines came forward and inspected the vials. Twenty vials were on the table. All vials were the same grade, but they contained different bloodlines. The fifteen studied each one to see which one suited them the most.
"You have the creator's knowledge, don't you? Why stop at unique grades? Why don't you get us legendary-grade bloodlines?" David asked.
"Dude, legendary bloodlines take crazy effort to obtain even if I know how to get one," Chris answered. "I've already busted my ass these two months to get these bloodlines. How about some gratitude?"
"Thank you," Jet uttered without taking his eyes off the vials.
"Thank you." "Thank you." The others echoed. However, their tones were flat, and they didn't look at Chris. Chris didn't feel any better hearing that kind of gratitude. He even thought he would feel better if they hadn't thanked him instead.
Chris forgot about them and came to the group that was watching by the side.
"Thank you." "Thank you." Jack, John, Paytowin, and Spring Crown echoed using the same flat tone.
"F*ck you all," Chris uttered. He took out something long covered in shabby red clothes.
"The hell is that? Are you showing us your junk?" Jack asked.
Chris gave Jack a weird stare for a response. He asked, "Remember that I gave you the key to Lucifer's vault?"
Wilted's eyes turned wide. "Are you saying this is…"
"Yep. A fallen apostle's weapon. Your friends returned from the underworld not long ago. I pick up the weapons from them so I can give them to you when you decide to leave."
"How did you know when they returned?" Jack asked.
"I contacted them using messages," Chris answered.
"Messages? Aren't you a native?"
"Haven't I mentioned that I have all the features of an outworlder? I also have outworlder's inventory system to store all my stuff, duh."
Jack could only nod for a response.
"When did you enter them into your friend list?" John asked. "Neither Bowler, The Man, Serpent Boss, or Speedrun ever met you."
"I don't need someone in my friend list to send a message. As long as I know their names, I can send anyone a message."
John also simply nodded in response.
"Why is it covered in dirty rags?" Paytowin asked.
"That is not dirty rags. That is a sealing cloth," It's Wilted who answered.
"Sealing cloth?" Everyone asked.
"This one is yours," Chris pointed at Spring Crown.
"Me?" Spring Crown pointed at himself.
"Only him? What about ours?" Paytowin protested.
"One at a time. We need a wide space. Everyone except for Spring Crown, please move away!" Chris ordered.
Wilted moved away. The others were confused by the request, but they followed after Wilted, leaving only Chris and Spring Crown.
"Hey, what is that all about? Why do they need space?" Jack asked Wilted.
The fallen apostle's weapon is no normal weapon," Wilted answered. "Simply getting one doesn't mean you can equip it. You need to exorcise it."
