BXBX NOVEL Chapter 278: Loot, Breakthrough!
"Roughly five hundred high-grade Prana stones. Nice."
"Are those skill scrolls?" Rin looked at the scrolls and inspected them. "Some are Tier-4, and some are Tier-5. Not bad, we can learn their formations to improve and create new skills."
"You two will break through into Royal-order during this session, so you can finally upgrade your skills\' power and fundamentals to a whole new level," Lilith said and waved her hand.
She also took out all contents from the hunter cards of those two Empyrean-order powerhouses.
"We have an insight scroll here. They probably bought it or got it. It\'s rare, but they are sold at sky-high prices if someone doesn\'t want to use them after acquiring them as rewards."
"There are pill bottles of healing and Prana recovery pills, tons of resources, and items."
"These one-time use items will be useful in some emergency when we go to Pale Hunger Swamp to acquire Death Roots."
Lilith informed them about the resources, but one particular thing stood out, and she got onto it at last.
"This last one," Lilith picked up the palm-sized stone tablet. "It\'s a blank gate."
"They must have bought it as well, but generally, you can use this blank gate to enter the coordinates of any location in Grand Primal Cosmos and open a gate leading to that location."
Erix rubbed his chin and said, "But you can\'t use it in the Abyss, right? To leave the Abyss, one must reach the personal requirement of power or breakthrough past Empyrean-order."
"Yep, but there\'s a catch," Lilith wryly smiled. "You can use this gate after going into any one of the dimensions attached to this Abyss and leave successfully."
"There\'s another catch in this is that you must become like me, break out of the influence of Mystic Root," Lilith continued, "Those two broke past it, but that idiot didn\'t show potential for that yet, so they couldn\'t use it to leave."
"Too bad he had to provoke us," Lily snorted. "He courted his own death when he could just leave sooner or later."
"Haha, let\'s forget about that trash. Anyway, take these resources, Lilith. Rin and I will break through to Royal-order, and then we\'ll select new items and new passive skills," Erix grinned.
They could finally get Tier-4 and Tier-5 passive skills after entering the Royal-order lifeform rank.
"Yeah, I can\'t wait to enter the new lifeform rank," Rin chuckled and got up.
The duo dived into the pond and immediately floated in meditation in their swimsuits and entered deep focus.
While Lily also entered the pond to resume her training, Lilith put some things into her hunter card, but she gave resources and other things around the table and on the table to Maleina.
"Maleina, sell these things at stores and get either medium or high-grade Prana stones in exchange."
"Alright," Maleina nodded and put everything into her hunter card before leaving.
Lilith also went into the pond to resume her training.
Meanwhile, Amu was still tending to Aria to reforge and evolve her bloodline. It would still take over a day to finish the process.
…
"Get information about every member of that group whose faces we have. There should be a weak link or their enemies somewhere. This will need extensive research and search."
"Spend money, put others to work, or do anything, but find more details about them," Addler said to ten members Galactic Knight cosmic faction standing before him.
"What about you, Addy?" a girl with long silver hair asked.
"I am going to meet them again," Addler said with narrowed eyes. "But not to recruit them."
"What\'s your plan, leader?"
"I am going to take on that pond\'s challenge," Addler\'s expression was stoic and indifferent, but his eyes had resolved.
"You can\'t be serious!"
"Wh-what the hell, leader. That…"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The six new members who arrived to aid them in killing Rin and Erix weren\'t expecting Addler to go to such lengths. Did the branch leader chew them out that hard with his words?
"I\'ve decided it, so save your breath and my time," Addler indifferently said. "I\'m going to the palace tomorrow while I\'ll go to Life Thunder Peak today to refine my physique. You all focus on your tasks."
"..."
"Don\'t die, leader."
Addler didn\'t respond and flew out of the hotel room.
…
Roughly ten hours later, Rin and Erix opened their eyes, fluxing with them were strands of power, of Prana.
Their aura became slightly chaotic and stronger as a mysterious force infused into their bodies out of nowhere, entering their origin region.
Their Arcane Spirit Ponds were successfully formed in their respective origin regions.
Immediately following that, this mysterious force entered into their Arcane Spirit Ponds as all of its patterns lit up.
Prana started feeling the pond while a notification rang in their heads.
[Congratulations. You have successfully ascended to Royal-order rank.]
[The reward will be based on your latent potential.]
[Measuring, counting…]
[Congratulations, you have reached the highest grade of reward due to having S-rank latent potential.]
[Your Magic Affinity has reached S-rank]
Both of them got similar notifications and the last one finally rang, which also fluxed them with magic power.
[S-rank latent potential reward is +500 Magic, + 5000 Prana Capacity.]
Their Arcane Spirit Pond immediately expanded and the mysterious patterns on its surface became more prominent.
Rin and Erix looked at each other, grinning from ear to ear upon seeing each other\'s status.
\'Erix, our magic affinity also reached S-rank! I can already feel the ease at which the Prana is dancing at my will,\' Rin\'s eyes were bursting forth with excitement.
\'Yeah, we can finally go deep into creating our skills, some truly flashy and powerful ones,\' Erix grinned, feeling the same thrill as Rin.
But then came another notification that surprised them.
[You must leave Abyss within the next three months or you will be directly kicked out.]
\'We\'ll leave before that, haha. Anyway, Rin,\' Erix grabbed her hand and said, \'Let\'s finish our today\'s Limitless Plane session. We still have seven hours to practice before leaving for another break.\'
\'We\'ll be able to perfectly execute the 2nd release of Four Release of Destruction in this session.\'
\'Yep, let\'s do it! We\'ll also incorporate its power and style into our 2nd series of Skillcrafts, haha. It\'s gonna be fun.\'
The duo\'s consciousness soon arrived in the Limitless Plane as they activated the Spiritual Art.
Naturally, another surprise and a visitor awaited them there.
