After I sat down, I checked my status partially in order to test a theory of mine. Looking over all the stats, it seemed like the effect of leveling up was still the same….

However, my element stat didn't increase in the slightest, on the other hand, the 0.03 points that should have added to it was added to the undistributed tally.

As a last ditch effort, I tried assigning a point to it manually, but as expected it didn't work…

I would ask Long about it, but there was no need to bother, I had already predicted such an effect, I was only hoping that the system may be capable of lifting such a restriction, but it seemed illogical anyway.

After all, the blood essence only contained the physical qualities of the target, while elements were kept within the monster's core, and even more so, one would have to be a practitioner of the same attribute to be capable of absorbing it, so using the stat points gained from absorbing blood essence to strengthen elemental stats seemed far too nonsensical, I guess I got a bit too greedy…..

I decided to keep the stat points unassigned for now, since the immediate synchro may cause some confusion if the rest of the party woke up, besides, I didn't need to as we were already going to leave the dungeon.

Instead, I went to the big pile of crystals and picked one of them to check out what they were truly supposed to be.

[ 'Corrupted elemental crystal ore' (Grade Two) (Normal***)

Description: an elemental crystal that grew through the power of corruption.

*Using it would cause the user to slowly fall into a corrupted state.

**Any corrupted user could use it regardless of his attribute. ]

'????'

The lost realm only had 3 sources of elements since the start of the 'Elemental disaster era'. The first source would be the atmosphere, which contained all types of elements on varied amounts, but it's normally not that dense and would be dispersed and diluted, one's speed of absorption would greatly depend on his elemental art's quality and grade.

The second source, which is also the second easiest to acquire, would be monster cores, also known as attribute orbs, it's only defect was its efficiency, leading to one needing a huge quantity to a dance if he slowly relied on monster core.

The third and last source, and also the rarest but the most efficient source, would be elemental crystals. The amount of elements extracted from 1 elemental crystal would equal the extracted amount from 10 monsters of the same grade! So finding an elemental crystal mine was the same as finding a gold mine or sometimes it even more precious than that! After all, naturally formed crystal mines were a rare natural occurrence, which only added to its value.

I originally had the thought that these were just slightly modified shadow elemental crystals, judging from the attribute that the shaman used

However, elemental crystals that grew through the power of corruption…..! And even ones that acted as an omni-attribute crystals! This pile of crystals was just like a pile of artillery bullets for the corrupted, if this wasn't the only gate that had such crystals with this amount, then this may be more dangerous than expected….

[ A corru... ]

"Ahkkk…"

A notif just came from the system, However, before I had the time to read it, it seemed like one of the trio had already started to wake up, so I hurriedly stored the pile inside my ring for the time being, as it was too dangerous to be left alone, and went to check up on them…..
