It came to reason that since he could benefit from the Souls of monsters in that way, Ignotus could do the same to humans. And yes, that explained the small jumps earlier, the House goons' Soul Fragments coming through.
He hadn't checked it in the chaos, but yeah, their Souls counted.
The system didn't discriminate.
A grin formed on his face.
"Murder really does pay."
Still, since he wasn't the one who actually killed the Acolyte, with the cave-in being the actual finishing blow, he wasn't given all of the Soul Fragments. But thankfully...
'A hundred isn't too bad.'
He got a fair amount, enough to increase his Ordination.
The 'Ordination-up' washed through him like a wave.
All where there was pain quickly eased. Skin closed where it had split, and even bones were fixed, returning to their earlier state, ultimately stabilizing his breathing.
Ding!
'Hm?'
Something else came up.
