Erix and the gang flew out of the island, attracting the attention of the group of people who came to check out the island.
Upon seeing Isabella, Erix, Rin, Aria, and Amu, the group of people immediately used inspect.
However, they couldn't see their Power level as Erix and others had conserved their auras.
Erix approached them while smiling, Rin and others right beside him.
"Who are you?" asked a middle-aged man from the big group.
"We are from another city, a bit far from here," Erix answered, causing everyone's jaw to drop in shock.
"You are natives?! How the hell did you get this island?"
"It also seems magical."
"Why are you here?" the same middle-aged man asked as he frowned.
"That's a very good question," Rin smiled. "We are here to participate in the event that's about to start in fifteen minutes."
Suddenly, a few more auras approached the group, more powerful ones.
"Leader."
"Leader Yorik."
"Leader John."
Four people arrived—three men and one woman. All four were at Royal-order rank and had some progress in the Spirit path.
'It seems that they are guild leaders of the major guilds here,' Isabella said.
'Weak,' Rin clicked her tongue.
The spiritual network in the group was active, so Erix and others could discuss things internally.
"Are you part of any guild?" asked Yorik, the oldest of the group with a big beard and white hair, looking in his sixties.
"Of course we are," Erix lightly laughed and added, "Let's talk while sitting at a table. That center below looks very well-developed."
...
Erix and others found out that this Sanctuary area of Laveron city had six guilds ruling it and then other small guilds at various parts of the city.
The total population here roughly reached twenty-thousand.
In the sanctuary area's center was an open pavilion with a table, indicating that they used this place for public meetings.
Erix and others sat at the table with six other people, while two people stood behind each of them.
"The event is starting in exactly sixteen minutes, so let's make this quick," Erix said with faint smile. "We are here to participate in the Prana Vein event."
"The event is public, so no one is stopping you," one of the two women at the table said. She looked in her thirties—black hair, blue eyes, a slim figure, and an adequate bust.
"That's good to hear," Erix nodded.
"I am Ron. You can participate in the event, but we are interested in that floating island," said a man in his late twenties—sharp face, thick eyebrows, and handsome. "How did you get it?"
"Forget about it. That's not something you can get," Rin chuckled as she shook her head. "You can't get it here."
"Eh? I think people can get anything they want in the current world...as long as they try," a girl behind Ron said in a mocking tone.
"You mean...by force?" Rin narrowed her eyes, her smile becoming wide.
"That's one of the ways," the girl replied with a snort.
"Conflict won't benefit you, so let's keep this peaceful," Isabella helplessly smiled.
"Oh yeah, what happened to Sangle?" Erix slapped his thigh.
"Sangle flew away after you died and went to Abyss," Isabella said with a sigh.
"My title..." Erix thought about this title, and the section appeared.
[Title: Beast Subjugator]—Deactivated.
Erix raised his eyebrow.
"My title's effect is deactivated,"
Erix got the notification whether he wanted to activate the title, and he did.
Instantly, he felt a sense of bond with Sangle again.
"Sangle is alive," Erix said with a laugh. "I think it's coming towards me, but due to the distance, it will take time."
"How far is it?" Rin raised an eyebrow.
"No idea," Erix wryly smiled. "But according to what I am sensing, the eagle is pretty far from here, but not that far from Phoenix City."
"Sangle also must have gotten stronger since it's still alive even after five months," Rin grinned.
"Sangle is coming back?!" Aaron's eyes shone.
"Yep," Isabella smiled and ruffled Aaron's head.
"Yey! Sangle is coming back!"
Aaron cheerfully shouted and went back to play with the kids.
Meanwhile, five minutes passed, and everyone on the planet heard the notification that it started.
[Prana Vein event has started. Find the entrance and begin farming. All the best.]
"Let's go," Erix stood up and called Aria and Amu.
After teleporting with everyone except Kids and Alfred, Erix's eyes gleamed with silvery space as he used Space Mapping.
His Spiritual Mystic Eye covered the fifty kilometers of the area around him in tandem with his space vision, creating a 3D map in his mind.
"Hahaha, it's not even hidden," Erix laughed while shaking his head. "Let's go. Other people will soon find it."
Snapping his finger, Erix teleported everyone and arrived seventeen kilometers away from the Labyrinth Tower of this city, at a small mountain range consisting of three dry mountains.
The entrance was a cave, and it was oozing out Prana energy in a condensed manner, so people would soon find it.
Erix and others entered inside the cave and arrived in a vast cavern the size of a football field.
"This is level 1 floor. Those circles on the walls are mining spots, but they'll only open once we touch the circle to start the challenge and complete it."
Isabella explained. "You can solo challenge it, but if you are in a party, the challenge will consider that. The difficulty will automatically adjust according to the number of people in the party."
"Welp, then let's go to the deepest part and then challenge the best Mine's entrance," Erix grinned. His eyes flashed silver, only to get a surprise. 'Teleport is not working...'
"It looks like I can't teleport here. Let's go, we'll have to go by foot."
Everyone's figure blurred as they sped up into the passage leading to the 2nd floor under the ground and then to the 3rd, 4th, and finally 5th.
The last floor was the smallest, 1/5th of the first floor, and only had 5 Mining entrances.
"Bella, how do you suggest we do this?" Erix thoughtfully asked. "Do we part our group into two to get Prana stones from two mines or one first?"
"One," Isabella said, her expression serious. "It takes time to mine Prana stones. If we all work together, we can do it faster before the event ends. Usually, the guilds used to make 10-member parties for each mine even on the first floor."
"Alright, let's do it."
