Chapter 162: Progress, Weapon, and Eat Lilith?

Lilith spent two days and used her connections to establish her guild in the Nether Wind City.

She left the management to the Dark Troupe and gave them more freedom in handling it.

Meanwhile, Rin and Erix finished refining their bodies to 100% with Lightning and Metal, respectively.

Now, they could turn their body into an elemental body for an extended amount of time and forever as long as they had Mana to spare.

"This is great!" Rin grinned and transformed into a lightning bolt before crossing a kilometer in a jiffy.

Erix appeared beside her via teleportation, and his body was glowing with exotic metals.

His arms, legs, head, and every part had different types of metal structures!

The wind rustled, and both of them felt a slight chill as they were a bit injured by it.

"The nether wind's power is increasing," Rin turned to the north and squinted her eyes.

Erix nodded.

"It seems like the so-called Nether Storm is coming. Let's return to the city."

The duo could make progress this fast in two days due to Lilith buying them a couple of high-grade Elemental fruits after they left the skill shop.

Soon, they returned to the city and felt all influence of the Nether Wind disappearing due to a giant formation placed around the city that resisted the Nether Wind's power.

All cities in the Nether Region had the same formation to prevent Nether Wind from damaging people and structures.

After the duo arrived at the mansion, they went to their room. Lilith was not there due to some minor work, but they had already planned to depart tomorrow morning.

On the other hand, Rin and Erix entered the Limitless Plane and started creating the spiritual formation. They were around 70% done with it, so it would still take several days to finish the entire formation and acquire their new spiritual power from their Spiritual Art.

After spending thirty minutes making 5% of progress, Erix was surprised.

'It seems that the stronger our spiritual power, the faster we progress.'

Erix's Spirit stat had already reached 73, and Rin's Spirit stat had reached 66 since Erix was ahead in the progress.

'I'll make my weapon's blueprint first,' Erix thought as he opened his eyes.

The chaotic stormy world around him vanished as his eyes saw the vast sea and blanket of islands in the Limitless Plane.

Rin was sitting beside him with her eyes closed, deep in meditation and in the chaotic stormy world to create the spiritual formation.

He flew away and went to another island so as not to disturb Rin's focus.

"The Nether Storm is still occurring, right?" Rin turned to the window and could see that the sky was dark and very windy. "I want to use this opportunity to feel this wind."

"I feel like I have an affinity with Wind, so I want to awaken it," Rin grinned. "And the best way is to sit on top of this mansion's terrace and spread my spiritual senses out of the city, far high in the sky, and feel the powerful nether wind of Nether Storm closely."

"That's a good idea," Erix raised his eyebrows and grabbed Rin's hand.

In the second, both of them disappeared and arrived on top of the mansion's terrace.

Their mansion was on the outskirts of the city with not much population since Dark Queen guild was new in this big city.

"Don't waste time and go for it," Erix nodded. "We don't know how long this will stay and when the next Nether Storm appears."

"Yeah. Alright, then, you go and leave me be. I'll definitely progress in this storm," Rin said, her eyes filled with a determined and excited glint.

She sat down cross-legged and released her spirit sense outside of the city's barrier.

However, a pained expression appeared on her face, and Erix was still there, so he saw it.

"What happened?"

"This nether wind, it's affecting my consciousness," Rin gritted her teeth, kept her eyes closed, and straightened her expression. "It's fine. If it affects my consciousness, then it's all the better. I'll be able to feel it more closely and understand it more."

"You go and do your work, Erix. I'll be fine."

Erix smiled and kissed her lips.

"Alright. Good luck and all the best."

...

Erix left and called Lilith.

[Erix: Where are you?]

[Lilith: I just returned. What are you two doing on terrece?]

[Erix: Rin wanted to experience Nether Storm with her Spirit sense. Anyway, I need your help a bit.]

[Lilith: Come to the kitchen. I am making food since I wanted to eat something.]

Erix laughed.

[Erix: I am coming, but you better wear a naked apron.]

Lilith giggled and replied.

[Lilith: Sure, darling. Come and eat me.]
