Chapter 318: Returning, Shocked Isabella
"Next one. Let\'s go."
The group exited the cavern and looked at the other magic circles glowing red.
Without further ado, Erix touched the nearby magic circle and challenged the party occupying the mine inside.
The ones inside were Ron and his party.
Rin saw the girl who talked about how everyone could be gained in this new world and couldn\'t help but grin.
"Let\'s not waste time and finish this fast," Erix said, his voice echoing towards Ron and his party in the vast grassy plain.
\'Dismantle Point.\'
Erix\'s attack, which was a simply thumb-sized pitch-black condensed orb of Nihilir and other energies inside appeared right before the ten people and pulled them with irresistible force with powerful gravity attraction by bending space to that Dismantle Point and…
*Boom!*
Instan-kill. All ten of them died in the challenger, and everyone appeared in the mining cavern.
"Not bad, you all mined seventy percent of the crystals already," Rin chuckled.
Ron and others had dark faces, but there was nothing they could do.
Erix, Rin, Aria, and Isabella didn\'t waste time as they started mining the Prana stones from the remaining crystals.
Ron and others also resumed instead of wallowing in the miserable result of the challenge.
\'They are rank 1 and 2,\' Ron said to his seven team members who had awakened Spirit state. The other three hadn\'t awakened it yet.
\'They are so powerful, damn it! This is cheating!\'
\'Nothing we can do about it, Kira. It\'s just like in the old world. People with authority and power could get away or do anything. In this new world, they are the ones at the top.\'
\'But that doesn\'t mean they\'ll stay at the top forever, humph.\'
\'If you stop slacking, sure.\'
…
All mining caverns were empty before the event even ended, so Erix and others left after getting a total of 1380 low-grade Prana stones.
"This is too low of an amount," Erix said with a wry smile.
"But I think Mystic root will increase the Prana Veins or even manifest a bonafide Prana-vein that can be mined for a large amount of Prana stones," Rin thoughtfully said. "After all, people won\'t be able to progress without Prana stones."
"Yeah."
"Isabella, what\'s the daily routine here for people these days?" Erix asked.
"Hmm, it\'s almost night, so there\'s going to be a world-boss event where people can earn Mystic coins based on their contribution towards defeating it."
"For materials of potions and crafting various things, the craft-type dungeons will also appear during the night for a limited amount of time."
Isabella also remembered another important thing and added.
"The month is going to end after four days, so the 6th floor realm will also open."
"Aside from that, it\'s all about killing monsters to reduce their rapidly increasing number and power and level up."
Aria thought of something and asked, "What about those various clans?"
"From what I found after visiting the elf clan, the clans that appeared here also don\'t know how and why they appeared here," Isabella wryly smiled.
"The elf clan has three Empyrean-order powerhouse, two early and one late. I think if Mystic Root transported these clans, then their power level should be the same or near the same."
"They\'ll have to progress here like others by coexisting with us and becoming allies with various guilds."
"The advantage they have is their knowledge of various magical things and their methods. They have skilled people."
"The Elevn clan I visited is proficient in Alchemy and taming monsters," Isabella said before she sighed. "The alliance failed because people left our guild and failed to fulfill their conditions."
"Hmm," Erix rubbed his as he thought of something and said, "We will visit it again and see what they have to offer."
Rin chuckled and said, "As for recruiting people, We are getting tons of requests from people who want to join our guild, haha."
"I have an idea. We\'ll hold a competition among people," Erix grinned. "A tournament of sorts and will select the top ten from them for the first batch."
"And as a bonus reward, I\'ll throw in custom-made weapons for them. With my weapons, I bet they\'ll become more powerful."
"It\'ll be so cool," Aria\'s eyes shone. "You have so many types of Metals because of your unique attribute concept. Erix, I also want a weapon, but I need to think what kind of weapon I want."
"Haha, of course, darling. I\'ll make you one," Erix smiled.
\'Darling?\' Isabella was surprised.
"And Erix, we also have one more thing to do," Rin knowingly smiled while moving her eyebrows up and down. "My bloodline evolution."
"We\'ll do that tonight. It\'s been a while since I\'ve had some passionate exercise, haha."
"I will join!" Aria giggled.
However, Rin and Erix immediately looked at Isabella afterward and saw her shocked expression.
"Ah…we had to keep it secret for some time…" Aria\'s voice turned lower, and her neck shrank.
"You guys…" Isabella looked at them as her shock increased upon understanding their relationship.
Rin couldn\'t help but burst out laughing. "It sounds crazy, but well…haha, Erix has two more women aside from Aria. They\'ll be here after they finish their tasks in the abyss."
Aria\'s cheeks puffed red as she said earnestly, "I love him, and Rin too, and everyone in the party."
"It just happened with the flow," Erix said with a faint smile. "Power and situation changes everything. Well, it started with Lilith that we felt was trapping us, but…."
Erix and Rin relayed their adventures in the Abyss to Isabella while the island flew toward Phoenix City at moderate speed.
Isabella listened as she learned of various things and could feel how Rin\'s and Erix\'s mentality changed and progressed along with their adventures, situation, and power.
After hearing roughly everything, the island also reached Phoenix City as Isabella digested their adventure.
At the same time, Alfred finished the kids\' training session upon seeing that they\'ve arrived.
"Sangle will be here soon, right?!"Aaron excitedly approached Erix with shining eyes.
*Screee!!*
Erix looked above as a loud sharp whistle of the eagle echoed in the sky, above the island, and attracted everyone\'s attention.
"Sangle is here."
