Chapter 211 - Acrium

It's true that he had gotten stronger and that his reserve of Soul force had seemed to increase unnaturally, but he had thought it was because Alan wanted to impress Erik and had to train and make even more potions than before.

He had never thought that he could have created this bond with Erik, besides at the time he was not even aware of this bond, so even if he had had doubts, he wouldn't have been able to find out about it.

But now thanks to his knowledge, he knew that this bond was as powerful or even more powerful than the mark of the Union because it allowed those who practiced dual cultivation to always become stronger and stronger.

And Erik's potential was that of a Warrior Spirit, so when he would reach the Stage 2, Alan would also probably undergo a transformation.

The only problem with the dual cultivation bond was that it was a fragile bond, it wasn't a permanent one like the mark of the Union was, all it took was for one of them to break the bond and everything would stop, but he wasn't worried because they had always been crazy about each other so there was very little chance of that happening.

Kevin, after assuring them that he was fine now, and after listening to everything they had found, was really pleased.

Alan was right, he didn't need to worry anymore about making large Lightning Talisman papers to craft their weapons, which was great, and what Liam told him next about the possibility of this dungeon being a cache of Lilith's weapons made him thoughtful.

But he had to admit that Ian was probably right, the purple dungeons were full of demons and Lilith was their creator, if the black magic pills were really hers, then unwittingly, he had already killed one of her proteges when he had killed that Elite Warrior Vampire.

And after thinking about it, now that they knew that the rainbow vortex was a transdimensional portal, then the all-black ones that appeared at the beginning of each war and ravaged the territory of the humans with its black flames could only be Lilith's.

So Lilith was one of the instigators of this war and the one who opened the rainbow portals had to be her opponent, another God perhaps... .

He decided to share his analysis with everyone and now that they had seen with their own eyes the black flames that she was able to make and which according to Ian could only come from her everyone agreed with him.

But the real question was why were gods interested in their world and making them go through all this, weren't they supposed to protect them ?

Ian then told them what he had learned from the knowledge of the Drakonits about this world, he told them that Kevin was right and that another God was fighting with Lilith to become the owner of this world, but he didn't know what God it was and why they were fighting for this world.

Kevin then asked out of curiosity : "Do any of you know what ore a divine artifact is made of and if it can be found here ?"

Axel, Alan and Erik shook their heads, they had no idea, but then Ian said : "This ore is called Acrium, it is golden in color and only the Gods can create artifacts with it, at least for as far as I know, but perhaps a warrior spirit of your caliber could form an artifact with this ore.

Otherwise, I have no idea where to find it, this ore is the rarest ore that exists and Lilith has never revealed anything about it to the other Drakonits."

Liam then coughed to get their attention : "If we could ever find this ore in our world, that would be a good reason for the Gods to fight for it, wouldn't it ?"

Ian nodded and said : "Undoubtedly."

He then looked at Liam suspiciously and asked him : "Why ? Do you know anything about this ore ?"

Liam nodded and told them : "Xander told me about it, the book that you managed to make a blood pact with, out of the twenty bearers of the Pentagram Mark that have existed … well, at least to our knowledge, only six have managed to create a blood pact with it.

And I also know that he was created long before the first war broke out when humans and demons lived separately but in harmony.

According to Xander, it was created by the first bearer of the Pentagram Mark with the help of the first Absolute Warrior who appeared in our world."

They all looked at him dumbfounded and Liam continued : "They would have found this ore near the border, but the true location remains a mystery.

So yes, there may be Acrium in our world and yes, a Warrior Spirit can create a divine artifact with it.

After all at the time, a Warrior Spirit who Kevin said had reached minimum the Stage 2 and a bearer of the Pentagram Mark had done so ... And Kevin is even stronger than the two of them put together."

He then looked at Kevin and remembered what he had said to him when he was using his Warrior Spirit skill : "Maybe the next time you have access to the knowledge of the former bearers of the Pentagram Mark you should try to learn more about its location and how to create a divine artifact with it."

Everyone was still in shock at this revelation, decidedly this day was full of surprises.

Kevin just nodded, the next time he would use his Warrior Spirit skill, he would try to remember to search for the supposed location of this ore, but like every time he used that skill, it was usually because they were threatened with death, he wasn't sure that it would be his priority.

Kevin thought that this border between the humans and the demons territory was getting more and more interesting, not only was the energy source that allowed the dungeons to form probably there, but now there might also be an ore that would allow to craft divine artifacts and that the Gods themselves were trying to get their hands on.

When Axel's father would finally show up, he would really need to have a long conversation with him to find out if he knew anything about this and also to ask him how to make the Gods stop caring about their world.

As everyone was lost in thought, Kevin finally told them to lift their spirits, which was at rock bottom after this discovery : "At least we are sure that there is a god on our side, Axel's father must have sent me these Chains of Restraint to be able to protect us against the other Gods and especially so that I can free myself from this cursed necklace."
