Erix, Rin, Lilith, and Lily stood before the dead Leiro. His head was gone, and the rest of his body was filled with cracks. His skin had turned gray-white, losing all the previous luster, and the shards all over his body broke down and turned into powder.
"What do we have to retrieve from him?" Rin curiously asked. "We leveled up five times even though we just used one skill on him."
"I didn't level up because the normality of Mystic Root no longer binds me," Lilith wryly smiled, "But I get benefits in other ways."
Lilith's eyes faintly shone as she looked at Leiro's intact central chest part. 'His soul is destroyed thanks to the dagger, and his nucleus is also in perfect condition.'
"We have some peeping rats looking here," Lily raised her eyebrows.
"I'll drive them away," Erix said before he snapped his finger, producing several Nihilir wisps and disappeared.
"I'll deal with a few in the other direction," Rin nodded and also vanished with a faint lightning spark.
Since those peeping rats were Rat-king's Noble-order subordinates, Lily and Lilith wouldn't be able to do anything anyway.
A few seconds later, the giant crystal screen at the city's plaza turned blank.
"It looks like the show is over."
"I want to go take a look there, but I am scared..."
"Forget it."
"They'll become famous for sure, hahaha."
...
After putting Leiro's body in her hunter card, Lilith and the rest returned to the Treehouse and then to the hidden cavern two kilometers deep, where they had found the strange eyeball.
After half an hour of rest, everyone recovered their energies and exhaustion.
This big battle only began after Rin and Erix had a proper rest, so they were not very exhausted.
Lilith needed rest as she had suffered most in every area, but she had another plan.
Rin and Lily sat beside Erix on a couch while Lilith sat across them and put an orb on the small table between them.
Rin also rested as she leaned towards Erix.
"You two haven't used your today's special training session, right? Go and use it. I'll stay on guard," Lily smiled.
"Alright."
Rin and Erix readily used their Spiritual after sitting cross-legged on the floor.
After arriving in the Limitless Plane, Erix took out a tiny spear, which was a special item from a random Noble-order hunter from the group who blocked them on their way to Spada Valley.
"Let's study this spear this time. We need to diversify our learning area in this Limitless if we have subjects like this," Erix said with a grin, intent on uncovering the formation of this tiny spear.
Your adventure starts at m,vle,mpyr.
"It pierced your Nihilir Wisp, right?" Rin looked at the spear floating between them, using her spiritual mystic eye's power to penetrate it and look at its foundational structure and other things.
Erix was also doing the same.
'Lilith was right. There are two conceptual powers and a light elemental power branded on it,' Rin said, 'But how did they brand conceptual powers into the formation?'
'That is what Lilith meant by that this kind of item is not crafted in Kaalanx Abyss due to no one being able to,' Erix remembered Lilith's words.
'This is a temporary stop for most people who arrive here after all,' Rin wryly chuckled.
Everyone's goal in the five Abyss worlds was to survive, get strong, and leave the Abyss, except for those who wanted to live here for longer for various reasons.
But they would also leave eventually, so everyone focused more on getting stronger rather than improving their magic occupations.
'Let's copy this formation to a T first,' Rin grinned. 'Actually, you might be able to create some items with this formation when you do Magsmithing to create items.'
'Yep.'
With their focus at the deepest level possible and their brain working hyper, the duo started carving the complicated formation in this Limitless Plane with limitless possibilities at their hands.
After carving the whole formation in ten minutes of intense, deep focus, the duo started studying it to incorporate this new knowledge into their combat arsenal.
After half an hour, they subtly refined their skill formations in their skill runes before going to different islands to comprehend their elements.
Erix focused on Flame, while Rin focused on Time.
