Chapter 885 - Perusing The Primordial Techniques

After returning to the real world, Leon took out a Spiritual Replenishment Pill and ingested it. Then, he recovered his meditative position and thoroughly absorbed the pill's efficacy.

A few minutes later, Leon felt a bit better but still exhausted, nonetheless.

'I haven't seen Maya show such expressions before… It's almost as if the expressions I've seen from our past interactions were all fake…' Leon silently mused.

Rather than fake, it's just that Maya's expressions in the spiritual world seemed more genuine. 

Leon rested for a bit longer before he glanced around at the ruin, which had become much tidier.

It appeared that while he was busy with Maya in the spiritual world, Aria and Darlene had nearly collected all the relics in the ruin by themselves.

A full incense worth of time must have passed in the real world.

Although Leon felt bad leaving all the work to Aria and Darlene, he also felt relief, knowing he could rely on them at times.

After a few moments, Leon closed his eyes and focused on recovering his spiritual strength in peace.

Meanwhile, Nyfarella barged into the dark crystal mine without a plan and freed her male clan members.

Nevertheless, the dark male faes didn't have chains binding them or anything, making it easier for Nyfarella to pull them away from their workstations.

"Go, leave the mountain. More will follow you," Nyfarella ordered in a firm tone.

The male dark faes didn't know what possessed Nyfarella to utter such words, but they were very apprehensive and hesitant in complying.

They were afraid of the consequences of defying the Red Ghoul Clan.

"But the Red Ghoul Clan…"

"You don't have to worry about the Red Ghoul Clan, for there won't be any more red ghouls in this dark crystal mine after I am done with them."

"But…"

"Just go!"

The moment Nyfarella raised her voice at her male clan members, they immediately dropped their mining tools and fled the mine like frightened rabbits.

Nyfarella glanced at their backs and sighed.

The Red Ghoul Clan's years of oppression have made her clan members weak and timid—to the point that anyone could boss them around.

They didn't even recognize her as the Dark Fae Clan's current clan leader.

"The men's condition in the mine is worse than I imagined. The Red Ghoul Clan's rule ends today!" Nyfarella clenched her fist with determination.

The male dark faes only wore thin, ragged clothes, and many scars could be found on their bodies.

However, this was only the surface problem.

Looking at her clan member's sickly appearances, Nyfarella didn't doubt that her clan members also suffered from multiple illnesses.

"Oi, you there! What are you doing here? Where did the dark faes—" the short commotion attracted a red ghoul over to check.

But before it could finish interrogating Nyfarella, she beheaded it with a clean swing of her tier-6 sword.

Shortly after, Nyfarella ventured deeper into the mine, freeing every dark fae she came across.

It didn't take long before the patrolling red ghouls discovered dark faes missing from their designated areas.

They even found decapitated bodies of their clan members.

"Sound the alarm! The dark faes are rebelling—" a red ghoul cried.

Swish!

Nyfarella shot out from a corner of the mine and decapitated the red ghoul before it could take further action.

"Kill—!" the other red ghouls were alerted.

But Nyfarella made quick work of them and allowed their headless bodies to join the others scattered on the ground.

"Weak, too weak! These red ghouls can't resist a single blow! I won't be satisfied no matter how many I cut down in the same manner!" Nyfarella frowned.

"The red ghouls aren't weak, clan leader. Rather, it's you who have become too strong instead," a male dark fae corrected.

However, Nyfarella immediately scoffed at his comment.

She can't be considered truly strong until she reaches the same level of strength as Lord Shadowtail and Lord Nightingale from the Black Dragon Clan.

"Go, leave the mine, and join the others outside the mountain."

"Yes, clan leader!"

The male dark faes quickly complied and left—not out of respect, but out of fear.

Now that many dark faes were missing from the mine and several red ghouls were killed, they would only be risking their lives by staying.

Nevertheless, the dark crystal mine was much more extensive than Nyfarella anticipated.

"Seems like it will take me a while to get everyone out of here…" Nyfarella uttered with a frown while gazing at the multiple tunnels, each leading to a different section in the mine.

It was easy to get lost in such a maze-like mine.

After Leon recuperated for some time, he suddenly heard from Maya.

'I've finished translating the primordial heritage recorded in the Archive, so feel free to take a look at them whenever,' Maya casually said.

"Oh?" Leon exclaimed with a pleasant surprise.

'All of them?'

'All of them.'

After Leon received Maya's confirmation, he immediately sent his consciousness into the Archive to peruse the translated versions.

'Tch, not even a thank you,' Maya snorted.

A large bookshelf containing hundreds of newly translated techniques quickly appeared after Leon used a single thought to search for them.

However, Leon found the techniques on the bookshelf to be unorganized.

He immediately willed the Archive with another thought before the bookshelf divided into multiple bookshelves, each containing a specific category of primordial techniques.

Whether they were cultivation arts, battle skills, or miscellaneous techniques, they were all separated neatly into their respective bookshelf.

Leon ignored the battle skills and miscellaneous techniques and headed straight for the bookshelf with cultivation arts.

'Soul, body, and energy cultivation… I need to find a suitable body forging method for Aria and Darlene, but what kind of body forging methods would be considered suitable for them?'

Leon silently pondered.

'Aria specializes in the Ice and Lightning Law… so a body forging method that can strengthen her ice and lightning abilities will be ideal…' Leon mused.
