Chapter 179: Prepping Cavern, Erix's surprise?

"What's your name? Do you have a family?" Erix asked as he put away his gauntlet.

"M-My name is Klelia. I don't have family here, w-why?"

"What's your bloodline?" Lilith asked.

"Lotus Bunny Bloodline, It-it's a support-type," the Klelia said before she thought of something and hesitantly said, "If you want, then I can act as a support for your group. I have healings and buffs, and my class is very versatile when it comes to various types of support."

"Here are the cards, c-can I go now?" the man said as he presented seven Hunter Cards to Lilith.

Lilith twirled her finger as those Hunter Cards floated from his hand and went towards Klelia.

Klelia looked at Lilith in surprise.

"They are yours now. Welcome to the group," Lilith said with a smile and pointed at Erix. "But you'll support him with your body, not skills. Is that fine?"

The man looked at Erix enviously but turned to the bunny woman. 'I made my advances on her, but she didn't accept...what will she do?'

The bunny beauty looked at Erix, who shrugged at her, "Make your choice. But if you agree and then you don't prove useful to me, we'll let you go."

Klelia thought for a second before she firmly nodded. "Alright."

"Then why didn't you accept my advances?" the man blurted but immediately shrank his neck as he glanced around.

"I'm curious. Answer him," Rin playfully smiled.

"That..." Klelia hesitated for a moment, "You are evil."

Her answer dumbfounded everyone.

"What?! How can you say that when you know nothing about me?"

"That...it's a secret! But I know," Klein firmly replied. It was her secret power, and she didn't want to expose it.

"Interesting," Lilith smiled, a hint of intrigue in her eyes. "Do you have a power that scales people's hearts and intentions towards you?"

Klein snapped to Lilith, startled. "How do you know?! It-it's similar to that."

"Well, I saw how you were the only one who suggested leaving, which means that you sensed that I was not lying when I said your group would die if you fought us," Lilith smiled.

"So, you were baiting them from the start," Erix wryly smiled.

Rin chuckled.

"She is honest, but no one believes her," Lily helplessly smiled.

"I mean, who would believe that? We didn't want to leave these precious Serene Spots," the man said.

After twenty minutes, Lilith and Erix finished their routes, with Erix teleporting both of them to various suitable spots to check them out.

"Done. These four portals are deactivated for now, but I can activate them anytime."

1st led to the top of the mountain for Rin to comprehend the unique powers of that red and black lightning.

2nd led to the entrance of Howling Tombs.

3rd led to the Cold Spirit River that is flowing under the mountain, even below Howling Tombs. Lilith said it was a great spot to increase Strength and Agility stats at the cost of pain.

4th led to wilderness behind the Black Mountain.

Lilith nodded with a smile. "Good work. Now, we can finally start training."

"I heard Serene Spots won't be useful to Royal orders from Reinala, which is why she is touching grass there."

"Hey," Reinala tilted her head at the duo and stood up after pulling out the grass. "If you are done, then let's start already."

"Suck that idiot bitch dry," Lilith chuckled and kissed Erix. "Serene Spots loses its effectiveness the more you use it. Reinala must have exhausted its effects on her, but I can still make use of it. Of course, it won't be as effective on me as Noble orders, but it'll still help a bit."

"Alright, then you can peacefully meditate and wait for my surprise," Erix grinned. "You still need a lot of my essence, right? Wait for it."

"What do you mean?" Lilith raised her eyebrows, but Erix just turned her around and pushed her back towards the glowing white-golden Serene Spot under a tree.

"You'll know soon," Erix cheekily grinned before he turned to Reinala, "Hey, come inside."

"Finally. Let's go," Reinala immediately removed her robe and went inside the metal house.

"Umm, d-do I need to come too, or will it be fine if I come later?" Klelia said as she looked at Erix.

"Later. By the way, you're not inexperienced, right?" Erix asked.

"N-No, I am not. But I also don't have much experience," Klelia said with red cheeks.

"Oh, then come inside. I'll finish you off fast. After that, you can return here to train on a Serene Spot?"

'It won't take long, and I can come back to train as well?' Klelia was pleasantly surprised. 'This is good.'

She quickly stood up from her serene spot that was near the pond and followed Erix inside the house.

"She doesn't seem that old and didn't have much experience..." Lily muttered while sitting on a patch of grass on top of a Serene Spot. "It looks like she will have a brand new experience today."

"Well, let's hope she can be useful for him," Rin replied while her eyes remained closed.

Both of them didn't speak afterward and entered deep focus. Rin was focusing on finishing the Spiritual Formation as she wanted to finish it first.

'Hmm, Erix and I haven't entered today's one-hour Limitless Plane session,' Rin thought but decided to tell him after he finished sucking dry those two women.
