Inside the royal chamber, Jack sat down. He was very tired considering he hadn't slept since yesterday, but he didn't want to sleep yet. So, he decided to review his improvement and the loot he gained from the war. After he woke up from his long slumber, he hadn't had the time to do that yet.
His classes had all increased in levels after the battle. He spent a lot of time fighting near the capital before he sneaked away to save the hostages, so he received the exp points from the soldiers who fought nearby him. Considering he was the main commander of the Allied forces, he also received exp points gained by soldiers from the other countries, providing they were not too far away from him.
When Azzarilth died, he received exp points despite being unconscious. Even though Azzarilth died by a suicide spell, he and Broidrireg inflicted a majority of the damage. Hence, they were considered the ones who killed her.
As a level 98 eternal dragon, Azzarilth provided tons of exp points. Since Jack didn't form a party with other players and he was the only player who inflicted damage on Azzarilth, all the exp points went to him.
Combined with the exp points from the battle at the capital, Jack leveled up a total of seven times. His Brave Swordsmaster and Time Sage were level 87, while his Beast Monarch was level 86. He received 21 free attribute points. He also received 9 free skill points for Brave Swordsmaster and 6 free skill points for both Time Sage and Beast Monarch.
He spent the 21 free attribute points on his lowest stat, endurance. It was the only stat still below 3,000 points. After adding the points, this attribute also crossed the 3,000 points mark.
Before he started spending his free skill points, he checked his Container of Souls. The souls he had collected didn't beat the last time he fought Master's massive zombie army at Messephyria, but it was close. Azzarilth alone provided three million souls. The souls inside his container were 9,600,000 souls.
Following his previous conviction, he first used 3,000,000 souls to upgrade Void Displacement Eye to max ten stars. This skill could now hit a target 100 meters away. The maximum size of the created black hole had increased exponentially. He hadn't given it a test but Peniel told him his skill could now even affect a target as large as the mobile fortress.
Against enemies, the strength of the black hole's pull had also increased. Enemies would now find a harder time escaping its gravity. The duration which an enemy had to stay within the black hole was also reduced to only one second. If the enemy failed to escape within one second, the enemy would be teleported.
Before he spent the rest of the souls and free skill points, he took out a couple of items Azzarilth had dropped. Azzarilth had dropped many items. Even though Jack didn't use his Runestone of Luck due to being unconscious, someone of Azzarilth's caliber still dropped many quality items when she died. Additionally, Jack's base luck was already very high even without the Runestone of Luck.
Paytowin picked up the loots when Jack was unconscious. He then gave it to Grace who passed it to Jack after he woke from his slumber.
Out of the loots, four were legendary grades. The two items Jack brought out were among the four. One was a technique book and the other was an Evolve Seed. The technique book contained the skill Azzarilth used during the battle, the Sphere of Svalinn. The Evolve Seed was Chaos Seed.
Jack had tasted how formidable it was when Azzarilth merged the Sphere of Svalinn with her chaos energy. He believed using this Chaos Seed on the skill should produce a similar result. So, Jack learned the skill and without delay, used the chaos seed on the skill.

"Sweet," Jack uttered. He had seen how unstoppable Azzarilth was after using this skill. Even Arther, who had a much lower level, became very formidable when he used the Sphere of Aegis which was equivalent to the Sphere of Svalinn. With this skill, Jack would also be unstoppable when it was active.
Sphere of Tiamat was a skill learnable by all elite classes branched from the Fighter class, so the skill points to level up this skill came from the Brave Swordsmaster's skill points. Without further ado, Jack pumped the 9 free skill points and 1,000,000 souls to max-level the skill to level 20. He then spent another 3,000,000 souls to max it to ten stars.
Each level-up increased the sphere's HP by 35,000 and increased the melee damage of the sphere by 5%. Each star increased the skill's duration by 1 minute and Jack's overall damage was further increased by 2%.
At max level and max stars, the sphere's HP was 1,000,000. It dealt 200% chaos damage when enemies touched the sphere. Jack's overall damage when the skill was active was increased by 50%, and the skill's duration increased to 15 minutes.
Jack then took out the parting gift from Broidrireg. He gazed at the book for a while. He had a sentiment to not use the book so he had something to remember Broidrireg by, but he knew that would be disrespecting Broidrireg's wish. Broidrireg gave him this book so he could become stronger to fight the underworld forces, to protect this world. He couldn't let Broidrireg down.
He learned the spell.
