Chapter 58 The End
It's like a person with severe mysophobia who washes himself thoroughly at home and changes into a set of clothes that he has treasured for many years, but then finds a pile of shit outside the door. He just wants to hide in the room and doesn't want to go out at all.

On the one hand, in Roland's subjective consciousness, he wanted to remove the protective film and sublimate his soul.

On the one hand, Roland's passive instinct made him not want to step out of his comfort zone or the protection of his protective membrane.

Faced with the confrontation between these two consciousnesses, Roland had no choice but to stick to his subjective consciousness and fight against his passive instincts.

Under this kind of confrontation, as soon as the protective film on his body surface was slightly loosened, he would quickly repair it.

However, in the gap between being untied and mended, a drop of blue liquid fell from Roland's body.

In the constant struggle between himself and himself, drops of blue liquid kept flowing out.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Roland's soul body had shrunk significantly.

And below the soul body, the flowing blue liquid also gathered into a small puddle.

After seeing the small puddle, Roland came back to his senses and found that his consciousness seemed to be somewhat scattered.

In response, Roland decisively gave orders to his body.

Lying on the wooden barrel, Roland's body unconsciously picked up the alchemical potion from the cabinet beside him, opened it and drank it without any expression.

As the alchemical potion entered his body, a cool feeling surged into Roland's heart, and his consciousness was refocused on this cool feeling.

I still underestimated the difficulty of sublimation.

In the game of the previous life, sublimation was just playing a small game similar to Tetris, and consciousness collapse was just a debuff, which would make the blocks seen by the player different from the actual blocks. As long as you found a debuff, just drink some alchemical potion.

However, in the real world, Roland had no status bar, so he didn't realize that he was mentally disintegrating.

If he hadn't reacted in time, Roland's sublimation might have failed.

Although on the surface, Roland attached great importance to sublimation and made sufficient preparations, but since awakening the memories of his previous life, he had been going smoothly, and in his heart he began to despise the extraordinary power of this world.

Since there was not much time to waste, Roland simply reflected on himself, tried his best to put away his contempt for sublimation, and devoted himself to sublimation.

After Roland had been concentrating on sublimation for an unknown period of time, his soul body had shrunk by one third, and the small puddle under his soul body had also turned into a small puddle.

That's almost enough.

Roland sensed the free puddle below.

With the support of the blue liquid that had been separated from his soul body, Roland's subjective consciousness was able to suppress his soul instincts.

Roland calmed down, and after silently accumulating strength for a while, he completely removed the outer protective membrane of his soul body.

In an instant, the entire soul body seemed like a ball of water in mid-air, and it fell down rapidly as a whole.

Roland's soul was completely freed from its restraints and turned into a small puddle.

Roland's consciousness also merged into the puddle, and the essence of his soul was completely changed.

Then, the power that had previously surged out of the soul body began to surge out of the small puddle.

The blue liquid absorbed this power. Freed from its restraints, it began to grow and expand rapidly, and Roland's soul strength and will also began to soar.

With continuous expansion, the original small puddle eventually expanded into a small lake full of spiritual energy.

Although it is still relatively small, the lake's official scientific name is the Sea of ​​Souls.

Finally, after being sublimated into the Sea of ​​Soul, Roland's will that had merged into the Sea of ​​Soul began to spread outward, reaching out of the Sea of ​​Soul and reconnecting to his body.

Finally Roland opened his eyes.

After completing his sublimation, his soul began to feed back into his body, and countless elements and energies began to reshape his body. Roland finally took his first step towards becoming an inhuman being.

The real dividing line between a knight and a spellcaster can actually be said to begin with the sublimation of the fourth ring.

The knight sublimates the body and uses the sublimated body to promote the evolution of the soul.

The caster sublimates the soul, and uses the sublimated soul to feed back the evolution of the body.

Of course, it’s not that no one has ever tried dual cultivation, trying to sublimate both the body and the soul at the fourth ring, but the success rate is very low, and the effect is not as good as they imagined.

At the same time, the price of sublimation is that the body is not as good as the knight, and the soul is not as good as the spellcaster. It is mediocre and has no particularly outstanding advantages. In addition, there has never been a particularly powerful and famous existence among the extraordinary people who choose dual cultivation.

Therefore, in this human world, very few people take the path of dual cultivation.

In addition, after the sublimation of the fourth ring, the extraordinary people also began to have a gap with ordinary people.

Spellcasters are better off. A spellcaster at the fourth ring can still be considered an ordinary person, and can mate and reproduce with ordinary people. They have to continue to be promoted to the fifth ring, or even the sixth ring, and their bodies continue to evolve before they will have reproductive barriers with ordinary people.

However, the situation is different for the Knights of the Fourth Ring, as they have completed their physical sublimation, they basically have reproductive barriers with ordinary people.

At this point, if the extraordinary people still want to have children, they can only find other extraordinary people.

After several days, Roland finally completed the evolution of his body.

"call."

Roland stood up. The full bucket of elemental liquid now only had a thin layer of sediment under the clear water.

He didn't intend to waste it, so he directly absorbed all the remaining elemental liquid, converted it into magic power, and filled it into his body.

Then he walked out of the barrel, put his clothes back on, and walked towards Hela.

Roland walked up to her, looked at her dirty appearance, and asked softly.

"How long has it been?"

"Twenty-three days."

Hela turned her head and responded while looking at Roland curiously.

"Did you make it?"

"Yes, it worked. I am now a fourth-ring spellcaster."

Roland nodded slightly, and a huge amount of mental power emanated from his body. At the same time, he looked at Hela and spoke gently.

"Did you not have any rest in these twenty-three days?"

Hela blinked but didn't answer.

However, even if she didn't answer, Roland could tell by the tiredness in her eyes and her dirty appearance.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Looking at Hela, Roland spoke softly.

"I'll be there next, you should take a good rest first."

"Ah."

Hela nodded as well. After seeing Roland, all the tiredness she had suppressed surged up. She walked back to the cabin slowly, and lay down directly without even changing her clothes.
