Cyrus didn't even look surprised by the vanished cyanic skeleton; the Yin and Yang Fire was the mythical fire that could only be created after mastering both Yin and Yang. But not even then can someone control it like Cyrus. He had unknown years of experience with this fire.
Furthermore, because of his physique, the Yin and Yang Fire was like breathing air to him, and if he didn't have Primordial Origin Yin and Yang Physique, he would've suffered a terrible backlash just by creating a small spark of Yin and Yang Fire as a mortal.
'It seemed I used more than fifty percent of my current energy reserve just by manifesting the Yin and Yang Fire for an instant. Well, not bad, I guess. My energy reserves are equivalent to a Qi Core cultivator. Unbelievable, really.' Cyrus's eyes shimmered in ecstasy.
The system nonfiction rang at this moment,

'So, I didn't use the Lust Sword, and I only got SP as a reward, huh? Just as the system told me. But why isn't the SP the same as when I killed a Tier-7 skeleton?' Cyrus frowned.
"System, why is my SP the same as when I killed a Tier-7 being before?" Cyrus has to ask this important question.
"[After User passed the Lust Mission, the SP, and XP will be rearranged according to User's new strength level.]"
Cyrus squinted his eyes, "You mean, just like a Qi pill lost its effect when a cultivator reached a higher realm?"
"[User can put it that way.]"
"Then what will happen if I somehow kill a person far stronger than me? Will I suffer a backlash as well, like an overbearing medicine?"
"[No, this is not possible as long as the System exist.]"
pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ Cyrus's lips curled up after getting the system's affirmation, "Glad to know."
He was quite satisfied with this explanation, or this might really be quite a huge boon if he could just kill and still gain the same amount of SP or XP.
Cyrus then looked at those hundreds of small fries and sneered before he jumped toward the empty path left behind by the cyanic skeleton and left with feeble Rita in his arm.
Although he had cast two golden-grade spells on her, she was not out of the woods, and moving around would only worsen her condition. So, he decided to find someplace to let her recuperate, and he also wanted to study this Sword Nebula thoroughly.
He knew the Nebulas Energy was nothing like anything he had ever seen or heard before, and it was far more potent than Qi.
Furthermore, he just noticed that the soul winds were no longer affecting him anymore. It was like he was holding the lust sword.
So, Cyrus's mood lifted even more as he moved in the Area A-1 direction because this was the actual destination, and it won't change still.
After Cyrus crossed into Area A-8, he found a five-story building and entered it while avoiding those skeletons since Rita was in his arms.
But this didn't mean he got rid of them for good. Numerous stage one skeletons and even a dozen of stage two skeletons were following them, and the confrontation was inevitable.
However, Cyrus only cares about putting Rita to safety before he harvests those incoming SP and XP.
Cyrus chose a room on the top floor and at the end of the hallway, far from the staircase.
The building was like a ghost den with an eerie silence, dim light lit in the hallway, and a creepy room with creaking doors.
Cyrus put Rita on a couch in the entrance hall, gently. He then started searching for any hidden undead in this apartment and only relaxed after making sure there was no undead in this place.
There was only a broken window, which might have been used by the undead to head out or for some other reason.
Cyrus looked at Rita, who was still completely drained and barely breathing while the Instant Recovery Spell was still shining over her entire body.
Cyrus frowned as he mused, 'I might need to cast a spell above Golden Grade. But can I cast that spell while still being a mortal? Let's observe for half an hour before making the final decision. Meanwhile, I should explore my new strength, especially this sword nebula energy!'
With this trail of thoughts, he mumbled, "Status!"

The first change Cyrus noticed was that his 'Cultivation Rank' state had been changed to 'Power Rank,' which should mean he was no longer on the path of a cultivator, which he didn't find surprising.
The next thing was naturally the Energy Source and the next two states below it, which were quite ambiguous. The last thing which gave him the biggest surprise was Eve also awakened the same energy source as their states were identical.
Cyrus's expression changed when he remembered that insane pain, and if Eve also had gone through it, then he wasn't sure if she could endure it or not.
Worried, he quickly summoned her, and the lust sword again manifested, and there wasn't any change in it. But the moment Eve appeared, he felt an extra energy reserved that he could tap into.
'Don't tell me I have access to two energy reserved?' Cyrus was shocked just by the notion of it.
"Cyrus! I got this new power from Elder System!" Eve's thrilled voice rang in his mind. She sounded like a child who got a new favorite toy.
Cyrus asked with a strange look in his eyes, "Elder System?" He was quite amused by the way Eva was calling the system now.
"Of course, I've decided to no longer be disrespectful toward our benefactor. You should stop being distrustful as well." Eve said matter-of-factly.
'Was swaying this girl so easy that all it took was an energy source, and she made the system her elder?' Cyrus wondered in amusement.
Still, he didn't reject or agree. He asked the important question, "Are you ok? Did you suffer any pain in the process of creating the Primordial Origin Void?"
From Eve's tone, she didn't sound like she had gone through torment at all, and Cyrus even wondered if her tolerance was the same level as his, which was almost impossible unless they shared that trait as well.
However, after hearing Eve's reply, Cyrus was baffled.
"What pain? It was an extremely warm process, and it even felt funny at the end." Eve giggled as she tried to explain her unique experience with full of amazement.
"W-warm and funny?" Cyrus thought he had heard wrong.
"Mmhmm~" Eve jovially replied.
'Don't tell me the system is really biased toward her and like to torture me?' Cyrus's expression was very dark since it was nothing but unfair.
He nearly went with that torment while Eve enjoyed herself and still got the same thing as him. He started to doubt who was the User and who was the host here.
Still, he can't say he wasn't happy about Eve not experiencing the same torment as him. He was just… hurt.
Taking a deep breath, he asked, "So, can you use this newly gained power?"
Eve quickly explained with ecstasy, "I can! In this place, I can use as many as I want, and I can perform the Hymn of Awakening as well as I can create different kinds of shapes with this magic power. It's so thrilling!"
Cyrus felt another huge blow directly to his heart when he heard it. He smiled stiffly, "I-is that so?"
Eve seemed to didn't notice his unnatural expression and replied cheerfully, "Yes. You have to teach me those magic spells like that vixen as well. I'll practice them and won't feel bored anymore."
'I suddenly had the urge to trade places with her.' Cyrus thought enviously as he finally understood just how lavishly Eve was living while he was more like a laborer. Getting two energy sources didn't seem that good anymore.
In Cyrus's eyes, the System was really playing favorite here!
