"Phew, we finished on time."
Erix and Rin stood up, stretching their arms.

"Roughly ten minutes until it starts," Rin nodded as she took out her U-card and contacted Isabella and Aria.
Meanwhile, Erix called Sangle spiritually with his connection.
Isabella was nearby with Aaron in the Sakura mansion, so she arrived quickly with Aaron while Aria was on the way.
Everyone soon gathered in a minute before Erix told Sangle to move in a random direction while he occasionally teleported Sangle to cross some distance or check out some area.
The world was still in shambles, with 90% of the land occupied by monsters, field dungeons, and ruins.
Within ten minutes, Erix and others crossed half of the world with Sangle and arrived in the Easton continent, at the sanctuary area where Leishun's Thunder Peak guild was situated.
The world boss also spawned as a huge barrier covered the sanctuary area, creating the veil.
Erix and Rin vanished from the eagle's back and arrived before the giant. Without hesitation, both of them consumed all of their Prana and activated Domain Burst, projecting their Domain outward.
Immediately, the waves of their powerful aura spread, shocking everyone.
The giant boss was a big wyvern with bio-tech modified wings and and tail, stretching a hundred meters long in size and raining destruction.
It saw Erix and Rin with their spherical domain covering them and attacked them, but before that, Erix and Rin appeared before it and released their fast skills to deal damage.
In Domain Burst, one's domain size depended on their Spirit stat.
Its spherical size would be one's spirit stat divided by 10 in radius.
Erix's spirit stat was at 2189 divided by 10 was 218, so his Domain's spherical size was 218 meters.
Rin's spirit stat was 2071, so there wasn't much difference in her domain size compared to Erix.
"That...Amu triggered my soul awakening with Amu's own soul power...Oh!"Aria exclaimed and said. "Maybe I can also do that?"
"You can do that?" Isabella was startled.
"Hmm, people should have sufficient potential gathered in their unawakened souls first. Only then does trigger awakening work," Aria said. "If they don't have enough potential, they will have to wait for the surprise awakening."
"Everyone usually awakens their soul in Royal-order once their potential is unleashed," Rin thoughtfully said. "So, for the automatic awakening, people need to risk their life and death."
"We've done it many times, but instead of our soul potential increased," Erix grinned as he remembered as well. "I remember the workings of Mystic Root. Lilith said that this type of late soul awakening is only for those under Mystic Root's areas."
"In other parts of this cosmos, people can awaken their soul fairly early, at Supra-rank. However, since we awaken late, our potential is gathered, and we get a bigger boost," Erix said.
"I see..." Isabella and Aria nodded.
"I think we should do trigger awakening," Rin wryly smiled. "I don't think we'll encounter a true life-and-death moment anytime soon here."
"True," Erix nodded and grinned at Aria. "Aria, do it to us."
"Okie!" Aria gave a thumbs-up and got up. Turning to Isabella, she said, "Bella-sis, let me check your unawakened soul too. If it meets the requirement, I'll do trigger awakening for you too."
"Isabella indeed needs trigger awakening," Erix said with a laugh. "She still has one chance of her special limited skill, so it will also take time for her life and death-situation to appear."
Isabella wryly smiled nodded, "Yep. Aria, I'll leave it to you."
"Ok, let me check," Aria walked behind Isabella and put her hands on her back before closing her eyes.
After a few seconds, Aria opened her eyes and smiled, "Bella-sis already met the requirement fairly long ago. Her potential is good, hehe. Ok, let's go to the garden terrace and do it."
...
Sakura Mansion had five big floors, with the sixth floor being a garden terrace.
After arriving there, Erix, Rin, and Isabella sat cross-legged in front of Aria with their eyes closed.
"Once the soul awakening triggers, you will have to remain focused and conscious until the awakening completes," Aria said.
"I'll begin with Erix."
