Chapter 164: 163: Sacrifice

Date- 25 Mar 2321
Time- 21:51
Location- Sky Blossom City, C-rank Mount tribe burial Caves gate dungeon. 
A dozen of dwarfed Giant mutant zombies rushed towards me, seeing these eleven to twelve 5-6 meters tall mutant zombies run at me I did not feel an oppressive sense one would feel upon such a sight instead I was excited and I followed my desire as I made use of Viltronian flight and flew straight punching a zombie on the temple of its skull. My punch was so vigorous that it shattered the zombie's skull and penetrated its brain, killing the zombie on the spot. I tried to do the same to the other zombies but I was surrounded and about 4-5 zombies clawed at me, sending me flying and crashing into the pavement.
Even though I was just a card soldier I was able to kill a C-rank monster which is a level higher than me because my viltronian physique had been strengthened by my 4 times mutated refined soul energy. That is to say, my Viltronian physique was 4 times stronger than any normal Viltronian physique. So even though I was one level lower than the C-rank monster I was still easily able to kill it with a punch. Similarly, even though I crashed into the pavement under the force of the combined claw attack of the zombies I was still unscathed there wasn't a single scratch on my body. 
Even though I was stronger than the mutant zombies, the mutated zombies had two advantages over me, their enormous build and numbers. If I continued to fight with zombies in the same style I would take a beating but eventually, come out victorious. But I had another ace up my sleeve which I wanted to test for a while now, getting out of the rubble I looked at the mutant zombies who dashed at me and a grin formed at the corner of my mouth as I activated the second transformation of my calamity soul core, Viltronian Titan. 
'Boom!' 
With a loud explosion, an enormous amount of heat and energy was generated as my 1.7 meters tall body transformed and grew into a 21-metres tall giant. Unfortunately, the caves were not tall enough to hold my tall physique and I hit my head on the ceiling of the cave. The height of the cave was about 18 meters or so. I had to bend over to fit in the caves. This restricted my mobility, I wanted to go on a rampage with my new form but the lack of height in the caves made me feel like being caged and I even felt a bit claustrophobic. So, I hurriedly took care of the zombies by stomping them all into meat patties and transformed back to the first form of calamity soul core, Viltronian. 
Knowing that I cannot freely use my 2nd form in this dungeon was a letdown. I asked Van to clean the zombies on our way as we headed to the boss room of the dungeon. Stepping into the boss room I saw a bulky 9 meters tall mutant zombie holding a war hammer. Other than finding the requirements for the hidden conditions for the 3rd transformation of my calamity soul core I had another reason to visit the dungeon that is to test the effect of my calamity daughter core on a monster and the mutant boss zombie in front of me was a good subject to conduct my experiment on. 
Therefore I handed a calamity daughter core to Van and asked him to use force or trickery to feed it to the mutated boss zombie. As the mutant boss zombie let out a war cry, Van with an unimaginable speed sprinted next to the mutant boss zombie and stuffed the calamity daughter core down its throat.

Swallowing the core the mutant boss zombie's furious facial expressions became mechanical and unnatural before it finally submitted to the calamity daughter core and acknowledged me as its master. As the boss monster was enslaved the core of the dungeon revealed itself. 
It seems my experiment was a success and it opened endless possibilities for my future combat style. Looking at the mutant boss zombie which was respectfully bowing to me I shook my head as it had to die because I did not make prior arrangements to take it with me. And also with calamity daughter core, I could enslave a Lord Level A-rank monster so why settle for a C-rank monster.
Disposing of the C-rank Boss monster also gave me a chance to test the ability which allowed me to sacrifice the calamity daughter core hosts to recover my soul energy. When I activated the sacrifice ability I felt a surge of soul power in my body and simultaneously I noticed the mutant boss zombie wither as the surge of energy in me grew. Finally, the boss monster turned into dust and dissipated with the wind. 
After sacrificing the boss zombie I turned my attention to the dungeon core. The core of different ranks of the dungeon is different and the core of the C-rank dungeon is about the size of an adult human. Walking next to it I could feel the incredible amount of soul energy stored in it, the core was brimming with soul energy so much so that pure vapours of soul energy leaked out of it. I placed my hand on it and felt the soul energy in the core and then summoning my grimoire I began sacrificing the soul energy in the core to my origin card. 
It took me an hour to suck the whole dungeon core dry of the soul energy and several notifications sounded in my grimoire. 
[The first condition for unlocking 3rd transformation of Calamity Soul Core satisfied.]
[ (10000/10000) soul jades stored for the creation of 3rd transformation body] 
[You have sacrificed a C-rank Dungeon core to your origin card calamity soul core and unlocked extra privileges for the calamity daughter cores.]
Reading the notifications I shook my head in disappointment as my hypothesis turned out to be untrue. Instead of satisfying the hidden condition, it helped me achieve the first condition of sacrificing 10,000 soul jades to create my 3rd transformation body. Not only did I not manage to find the hidden condition but made a huge loss as a C-rank dungeon was worth more than 10,000 soul jades. But still, this experiment yielded some results. I did not know what privileges for calamity daughter core were opened but I think it should be good as I had swallowed a C-rank dungeon core for it to give me these privileges. To check the privileges obtained by the calamity daughter core I turned to Van...
