" It's been more than an hour since the effects of Athan's soul technique wore off...Do you think something happ- "
" Nothing can happen to Athan. " Tiana interrupted Avelia and spoke with conviction.
" True..." Avelia also nodded, but then she appeared thoughtful and guessed, " The only plausible reason I can think of is that he went to the second level battlefield. "
Tiana nodded with a smile, " That should be the case. But it's ok. Now that we are on the same level as the people here, We can take care of ourselves. "
Avelia chuckled, " True. Then let's continue and fill up our gauge. We can't let Athan get too far ahead of us. "
...
Mike and Qerin also arrived at the same conclusion as they continued fighting.
" Qerin, It's likely that bro is already in the second level battlefield. But...That's fair enough. We were likely slowing him down, but no more of that. "
Qerin nodded with a competitive spirit, " We'll have to work hard and catch up to him. "
...
Athan was currently fighting against a horde of flying beasts, and he had no problem killing them as they turned into white light and gave him points.
" Maximum range, Myriad Illusionary Field. "
Lucent channeled its power as Athan used the second ability of Lucent that it got after reaching the second stage of Spirit Armament.
A blue light shone from the fancy and high-tech-looking robe that Athan wore as a light blue sparky field expands from him that covered a one-kilometer area around him.
The hundred or so beasts that were scattered lost their mind as they started attacking each other.
Athan nodded with a smile and thought, ' This ability is indeed good. It looks like Lucent is moving towards a control-type offensive altar spirit and not a control-type defensive. '
...
Several hours ago, Athan took out a few things from the inner space of the crysax race woman.
She had two peak-grade spirit rule enchantments and several lower-grade rule enchantments. Additionally, He also got two Spirit Evolution orbs from her and many menima crystals.
Altar spirits can recover their energy by using menima crystals, so they were pretty significant on the battlefield.
The mysterious thing was that...He couldn't sense what kind of power was contained in the peak-grade spirit rule enchantment that he got in this layer.
He guessed that they were not entirely complete like the one he got from the ifrit dandraif castle.
But this was a good thing because he also guessed that they would be complete when his altar spirit used them.
The peak-grade spirit enchantment used by Skylord contained wholly offensive power, so if he gave it to Lucent or DeathKnight, They might not bring out its full potential.
On the other hand, The spirit rule enchantments he got here were flexible. It was like they will shape into the power according to their altar spirits' thoughts and affinity when they merge it into their soul altar.
Athan had already given peak-grade spirit rule enchantment to DeathKnight and Lucent as they reached the second stage. He also finished the first stage of the Spirit Astride plane after DeathKnight, and Lucent spirit enchanted him like Skylord by merging their newly gained power into the Erudite palace.
By the end of the process, His primal core's capacity increased twofold. His magic core's capacity also expanded one fold, and his soul body reached 89 meters tall. He still had yet to eat the Soul jade fruit.
He then converted the extra spirit rule enchantments into points because this battlefield was different from the first-level battlefield.
Here, The rewards are based on contribution. If one was attacking a powerful beast and brought it to half death and then if someone came and stole the kill, The rewards would be based on who dealt the highest damage to the beast.
Points were used to buy the entry into the Boss zone.
...
Presently, The beasts were attacking each other inside this second ability of Lucent that could show illusions and control the beasts.
Each beast saw another beast as Athan, and that's why there were attacking each other. Furthermore, each beast had the illusion that all others beasts were attacking the same target as them.
But there was not all to this ability.
" Extinguish. "
Athan muttered as all of the beasts that lost their mind instantly died and turned into white light.
Once the enemies are under control in this Myriad Illusionary Field, Athan could directly attack their soul or core and kill them.
After all of the flying beasts that looked like vultures with two heads died, Athan tapped on his wrist with " 2 " on it.
He was not doing this to get the rewards because the rewards were directly sent to people after killing the beasts.
He tapped on the wrist because the gauge around the " 2 " was filled up, and he could now enter into the boss zone. Here, The battlefield gauge is filled by the points that one acquires.
One can acquire points by killing beasts or converting rewards into points. The beasts give more rewards on this battlefield, such as Menima crystals, armament fragments, and spirit rule enchantments of high to low grade depending on the beasts' strength and groups.
The one Athan just defeated was the weakest beast group he encountered so far. Still, it was enough to fill his gauge because he had converted many things into points and even defeated some powerful beasts in the last several hours.
To enter the third level battlefield, All three of his altar spirits need to reach the third stage of the spirit armament.
Currently, none of his altar spirits were in the third stage because it takes time to progress from the second stage to the third stage of the spirit armament.
One can speed up this process with spirit evolution orbs, but Athan had yet to give them to his altar spirits because he wanted to gather more.
[ You have acquired enough points to enter the boss zone. Would you like to enter into a new boss zone or an ongoing boss zone? If you choose an ongoing boss zone, 50% of the points will be refunded after the boss monster is defeated. ]
Athan was surprised because he didn't know about such a thing. If he knew that, he would have chosen to enter the boss zone when his gauge was filled up to 50%.
" Oh well...I can consecutively finish off two bosses. "
Athan chose to enter the ongoing boss zone and appeared at a place where lightings were crackling in the sky. At the same time, approximately three hundred people were attacking a giant Kraken monster that stayed in the water.
Athan appeared in the air while sitting on his throne and looked around.
Below him were only water and the giant Kraken monster that attacked people with bolts of colorful lightning from its fifteen or so tentacles.
He also saw some corpses floating on the water below and also noticed that some people had a desperate look on their faces, ' looks like this boss monster is more powerful than that eight-handed humanoid monster. '
Right then, He saw two lightning bolts, one dark green and one bright red coming at him in a blink of an eye. More specially, these thick bolts were big, so they covered 20 meters around him, including four people.
Athan was surprised because these two bolts were fast and arrived at him in a blink of an eye after being released from one tentacle of Kraken.
He didn't get the chance to put up any defense as he tasted the power of these lightning bolts.
Athan blanked out for a second before feeling some pain that lasted for another second before he muttered, " Thanks, bud. "
DeathKnight used its second ability right after lightning bolts powered over Athan and protected him. Of course, Athan could also use this ability, but he knew that DeathKnight would do it for him.
DeathKnight's first ability was offensive, while the second ability turned out to be defensive, and even DeathKnight was confused at that time. But It accepted this result and was happy with it because this defensive ability quite powerful.
" So that's why people here constantly had a barrier around them. "Athan finally understood this after tasting the lightning bolts of the giant Kraken.
