Vincent Wolf released Barry and looked at its round, ball-shaped body, unable to see what was so appealing about it.

“Excitement? Is it caused by the digestive juices?”

Vincent put his hand into Barry’s body and immediately felt a sharp pain in his fingers.

“Damn, that hurts!”

He quickly withdrew his fingers and blew on the reddened fingertips.

“Huff, huff, huff–”

“As expected, pet beasts are still pet beasts. No matter how high their intelligence, their thought processes are still different from humans.”

Barry looked at Vincent’s self-harming behavior with some confusion and directly cast a [Healing] spell on him.

A light green glow enveloped Vincent’s fingers, and his minor injury was instantly healed.

Vincent patted Barry’s head, expressing his approval for its actions. Then he began to think about what option he needed to choose.

“Memory, add attribute.”

At this time, Vincent should have chosen to add an attribute, but as he repeatedly reviewed the simulation process, he had a new idea.

“According to the description, the increase of the death attribute is due to me being corroded by the Power of Death and feeling it at the moment of death.”

“If I choose memory, to remember the feeling of that moment, can I gain the death attribute?”

If he chose to add the attribute according to the options, it would definitely be added directly.

After all, his Beast-controlling Talent had never lied to him.

However, choosing memory meant taking a certain risk.

Vincent could not guarantee that his idea would be accurate.

Moreover, as he looked at the description, Vincent felt that his last moments were somewhat strange, as if he had a tendency towards cruelty, which was unlike him.

“Could it be that during [Devour], those demon beasts affected my state of mind?”

“In that case, would choosing memory be dangerous?”

Vincent hesitated for a moment, then gave up on this tempting option.

“I’m sorry, myself. I’ve given up on the chance to see a real Charm Demon. Rest assured, I will make sure you see a real Charm Demon in the future!”

Vincent apologized to himself in his heart and then chose to add an attribute.

At the moment of his choice, the blood moon in the Death Demonic Domain flickered imperceptibly. Then, Vincent and Barry felt a chill that made their souls freeze and low whispers suddenly turned into shrieks and wails.

The world in Vincent’s eyes changed instantly. The gloomy sky became bright, the eerie blood moon turned into a blazing sun, the foul-smelling land became a lush, green wilderness, and a sense of boundless freedom and pleasure bubbled up in his heart.

In the wilderness, countless fruits and melons grew vigorously. Vincent picked a watermelon, squeezed it hard, and the red and white flesh burst out with an irresistibly sweet and rich aroma that lingered in the air.

Seeing this, Vincent was overjoyed. He scooped some of the watermelon into his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, the soul-shivering taste immediately spreading through his whole body, as if it had satisfied a deep craving within him.

After throwing the watermelon away, Vincent looked at the mountains of watermelons, overwhelmed by greed.

“They’re all mine, hahaha, all of this is mine! Hahahaha–”

But suddenly, Vincent saw a gigantic dragon as tall as a mountain appear in the sky, breaking the sky with its claws, crushing the sun, and burning all the fruits and vegetables in the wilderness.

Vincent remembered. It was Dragon Town.

“Heh ah-

Vincent suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for air, his eyes filled with fear.

“What just happened!”

“How did I end up in that place!”

He looked at Barry beside him, with Dragon Town lying motionless on top of it.

Through the Beast Control Contract, Vincent sensed that Barry’s situation was similar to his own.

“Dragon Town must have saved me just now.”

Then, Vincent saw the [Simulation] prompt hovering in front of him.

[Warning: Due to the addition of the new attribute – Death Attribute, which is opposed to the Life Attribute, unknown effects will occur.]

[Warning: Your current Death Attribute is: 10%. Please reduce the awakening percentage of Death Attribute or increase the awakening percentage of Life Attribute to achieve balance, otherwise there will be a great danger.] [Warning: You have attracted the attention of the Abyss.]

“Could you make these things clearer in advance?”

Vincent rubbed his temples, trying to dissipate the lingering effects of his immersion in that illusory spirit world.

He couldn’t imagine what would have happened if he had remained in that state, perhaps being controlled by his inner darkness, using human bodies as vines and their heads as fruits.

Why did he fall into that state?

And what exactly was the Abyss?

Moreover, did the Death Attribute need to be balanced with the Life Attribute, and how exactly was this to be achieved?

Many questions lingered in Vincent’s mind.

Watching Dragon Town still rescuing Barry, Vincent closed his eyes and sensed the energy within his body.

Within his body’s energy, he could clearly sense that besides the force of life, there was a powerful, deadly silent force, the same as the Evil Eye siblings he encountered in the morning, the Power of Death.

In a quantitative comparison, the Life Power in his own energy was approximately a 1:2 ratio with the Power of Death.

Vincent forced the Power of Death out of his body and took out the jade stones that the Lost Spirit of the Secret Realm had transformed into, then held the hand with the Power of Death up to the jade stones. Although they touched, nothing happened.

“Does this not work?”

“How am I supposed to balance the attributes of life and death?”

Vincent opened Barry’s panel.

Like Vincent, Barry’s attributes had also changed.

[Attribute]: Water, Life (5%), Death (10%)

An additional Intermediate Skill, [Death Corrosion], appeared in the list of skills.

After much thought, Vincent decided to start with Barry, as the simulations would not result in real death, allowing for higher trial and error.

However, Vincent couldn’t figure out why the Death Attribute appeared on his body.

The Life Attribute was easier to explain.

Vincent couldn’t completely deplete the power of the Secret Realm’s Spirit he absorbed, so he had to transfer some to Barry.

But this time, there was no transfer process, as if the Death Attribute was directly added to both him and Barry.

“Could this be the effect of this newly emerged option? Even Beast Tamers can add attributes together?”

Vincent felt that this was the only explanation that made sense.

It seemed that from now on, the simulations would have to focus on this aspect.

At this time, Dragon Town had successfully freed Barry from that state, and it was now lying on the ground, exhausted.

“Vincent, what happened to you two?”

“Why did you suddenly get invaded by the Abyssal Will while sitting there

peacefully?”
