It took about an entire minute until the sludge finally stopped. Damon was shocked to see that so many impurities had been expelled from his body despite already having forged his body under many different extreme conditions.
This was huge. It was way easier to cleanse a mortal body than someone who had already stepped into the realm of C rank.
There was no fancy technique name. There was no muss and fuss. The little fuckers had silently done the job. Not to mention, he had even reached a Perfect State. What the heck was this? He had never heard of anything like this before!
These parasites were the best!
Could he possibly tame some of them or breed his own? Maybe he could even get a round two of cleansing?
Damon continued to float around in the parasite pit, enjoying the sweet benefits he was receiving on the side. The little guys meticulously continued their work, constantly trying to take over his body and his mind.
At first, it was extremely taxing to fend those off at least mentally, but as time went by, even that got a little bit easier.
Damon used this chance to take a look at his system interface. He wanted to know what a perfect state meant.
A familiar translucent screen flickered into existence in front of him, its glow steady even in the writhing blackness of the lake. Damon squinted through the last traces of impurity still drifting around him like greasy snowflakes.

Damon’s eyes widened. "...holy shit." The impurities floating off his body suddenly made a lot more sense. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
He wasn’t just cleansed or refined or reinforced. He had hit the highest purity possible for his rank. While he was not really familiar with the term Perfect, he knew about exceptional regeneration abilities.
In fact, everyone in the game knew about this. The trainers in the basic class hall went on and on about this. They talked about the rumored mythical state where all regeneration abilities were off the charts.
Some blessed beings in the scriptures were essentially able to fight without ever getting tired or drained as long as there was mana around them. His current state was not that different from what they described.
He silently continued with the flow and kept assimilating all the parasites that came his way. Soon, minutes turned to hours. He still continued doing what he did, and the parasites kept coming. It was as if they were endless.
"What the hell..." Damon was quite shocked, but he did not complain. The more the merrier. Raising any elemental affinity above an A rank was extremely difficult, but these little cuties were still contributing to his shadow affinity.
If he continued just like this for a few more hours, his shadow affinity would even surpass his poison affinity. Damon closed his eyes and greedily continued with his training session.
Meanwhile....
Somewhere in the vast, wide cosmos, a pair of eyes flashed open, cold, ancient, and immeasurably captivating. They were a mesmerizing pair of eyes with white orbs swirling within a void-black sclera, each iris shaped like a collapsing galaxy.
The moment they opened, entire star clusters dimmed. Threads of shadow essence, so faint that even gods would fail to notice, vibrated across realities, tugged awake by a single anomaly.
The being inhaled. Nebulae trembled.
"Impossible..."
Immediately, several figures rushed over to the being, each one of them frighteningly powerful. However, in front of the being, they bowed their head obidiently and waited like mere servants.
"Goddess... please give us your order."
The being nodded, a figure materializing from the pitch-black darkness. It was a woman’s figure. "Someone is stealing from my father’s resurrection pool. Find him and kill him immediately."
