87 Magic Waves, Windfury Blaster, Roaring Metal Cannon

After leading them to the north for a while, Erix told them to fly above the clouds and move towards the Northwest.

Seeing the ground from this height was usually impossible, but Erix had <Zoom> talent and <Aura Gear> skill.

He zoomed in while observing and identifying each aura.

'Now, if I can just inspect while zooming, it would be perfect,' Erix dryly thought despite knowing that this wish wouldn't get fulfilled.

After Erix arrived above the spot, he stopped. "Alright, we are at the location."

"You go attack the blondy and leave the ritual pool to me, "Erix said before he paused for a bit and adopted a serious expression, "You do know that you have to kill him quickly before he calls Railun, right?"

'Although I will drop my attack before that happens.'

"We know that. It will be hard to take on both Railun and that blond man, even for us three."

"Cool. Then go and have a blast."

The trio nodded before the one wearing the robe raised his staff as the crystal on top of it briefly shined.

Four wisps left the crystal a second later before entering Erix and the other three.

[You have gained a buff, Blood Boost.]

Erix inspected the new buff in detail.

[Blood Boost: Increase your strength and healing recovery by 25% for five minutes or until your vitality falls below 50%. This buff's effect is halved on those above level 100.]

"Thanks," Erix nodded.

The trio flew down with their weapons gleaming coldly and magic whirling powerfully, ready to draw someone's blood.

On the other hand, Erix wasted no time and accessed his Origin Region to take out his new Death Bone that he created from a level 68 mutated monster called Snap Shot Ant.

That monster Ant was quite frankly the most brutal monster that Erix and the gang faced because its unique snap-shot mandibles and mouth were quick and deadly.

It was dangerous not just in melee range but also in long range. Whenever the Ant snapped its mandibles at almost supersonic speed, it would shoot a flamy green round projectile with incredible power and speed.

That nightmarish Ant had actually sniped other people to death in the forest before it was trapped by Erix's metal cuffs and a several low damage but snaring skills by Erix's and Leon's group. 'Good thing that my Death Bones are part of my class and didn't get deleted,' Erix smiled as he saw his new Death Bone manifesting before him.

A fifteen-centimeter wide black barrel with pulsing wind-green and blood-red curvy patterns. It was half a meter long before the rest of its body manifested, revealing a trigger and a holder at its back.

->Budget = Magic Waves = frame, layers, and nodes/ magic formation.

->Craftmentship, foundation, etc. = one's ability to weave the frame, layers, and nodes to bring out the full potential of their mana, magic control, affinities, and other knowledge to create a compelling skill of their design and vision.

House = skill.

So, Erix's Roaring Metal Cannon skill took all of his magic waves in its creation, although he only used a few simple principles of magic that he knew in the magic formation.

Condense, compress, and shape.

The skill was basically shaping a huge amount of metal into a sphere, compressing it, and condensing its structure to make it tough, spiky, and strong. This shaping, condensing, and compression depended on Erix's magic control.

'Show me your power in its glory,' Erix thought as a slight tremble of excitement coursed through his body.

After all, the giant spiky metal cannonball was right before the barrel entrance of Windfury Blaster that could unleash wind blasts in supersonic speed, and Erix wanted to shoot his Roaring Metal Cannon with it!

However, just as he intended to press the trigger, a notification rang in his ears.

[ Despairer, it is time for you to choose. ]

[ Would you continue your attack knowing that you will kill two innocent young ones who were used as sacrifice and medium by their corrupted father? ]

[ or ]

"Fuck the second choice. I don't have time to save nobodies while risking my life," Erix coldly snorted but didn't pull the trigger and waited. 'Unless that second choice gives me more benefits.'

[ Would you save the two young ones first and then destroy the Abyss Ritual Pool? ]

"Will I get any additional rewards if I choose the second option?"

"No response? Well..."

Erix cracked a grin. 'A nobody's life alive is not useful if I am not alive to use or benefit from it.'

'Wait, the 10,000 gold coin mission reward... those siblings might give me if I save them.'

But a second later, Erix shook his head. 'I have to earn a lot more than that, so it's better I finish this task, get its reward, and some quick benefits here before moving on.'

At that, Erix pulled the trigger of Windfury Blaster.

And right after he pulled the trigger, Erix got another dumbfounding notification that caused drops of sweat to form on his face.
