Chapter 391: 30th Floor, Bista the Star Smoke
"How's the boost after the upgrade?" Rin asked as soon as she and Isabella arrived at the Dreanox Tree.
"Great!" Erix said with a laugh. "Extra 1000 stat points on top of 10% flat increase."
*Whistt*
Talonar released a cry while sleeping on the Dreanox Tree's branch in a smaller size. "Master, I got powerful too."
"So Regalon Drives automatically grows along with us? That's great," Rin grinned and took out her Blood Null Realm stone. "Alright, I'll also begin now."
"Then I'll go challenge and clear the floors. How many did you complete this time?" Erix curiously asked.
"Finished till 35th Floor," Rin showed a victory gesture with her hand while grinning. "That was tough, but a good reward."
"What is it?"
"You'll know when you go there," Rin chuckled, keeping it a secret.
Erix and Isabella wryly smiled.
"I also need to complete floors now that I also created skills with Rin to utilize my new Concept," Isabella said with anticipation.
"Oh, you did it? Haha, great. Show me some skills and then we'll go to the Tower."
"Mhmm," Isabella nodded with a merry smile. "It will be evening soon, so let's finish everything and have dinner."
Rin chuckled and said, "Atlantis Invasion won't be of much threat now that we destroyed three tribes."
"Yep."
...
Isabella and Erix had a sparring for twenty minutes, which also allowed Isabella to further refine her skills.
"Let me upgrade your weapon and armor," Erix said as he looked at Isabella's combat outfit. "I can make them way better now since my Devorex Metal finished production of a Metal that can be a medium for your Lucid Blazephyr, haha."
"It's done?" Isabella's eyes shone. "Yes! It will increase my overall power a lot, hehe."
"Yep. You know I made a big breakthrough in my Magsmith Forging, so my speed and expertise increased drastically," Erix grinned.
'The reward should be exceptional then,' Erix read the status, but seeing the reward caused him to raise his eyebrows.
[30th Floor.]
[Challenge]: Defeat Bista the Star Smoke.
[Minimum Power Level Required]: 225,000 — 250,000
[Chances]: 1
[Reward]: Blank Slate of Empyrean Visage.
'This is confusing. It seems that I'll only know what it is after getting it.'
Without wasting more time, Erix challenged the floor and vanished.
In the next second, he found himself amidst a strange environment with stars and glowing celestial bodies at a far away distance from him.
A strange pressure bore onto him and the air was non-existence. Erix heard a monotone voice in his head a second later.
[This is the same realm as the general outer space of the vast cosmos. Adjust yourself accordingly and prepare. You have 10 seconds.]
'Interesting.'
Erix felt strange in the space, but he could also feel a mysterious energy permeating all around him. It was trying to penetrate him and interfering with his normal flying, but he fixed it by creating a veil of Prana around his body.
'No wonder Lilith said that Empyrean-order can't travel through space,' Erix wryly smiled. 'The pressure and this strange energy hardened the more we moved and required constant consumption of Prana. In real outer space, there's probably more interference from other objects, so it's not practiced to travel in space without a spaceship.'
One had to become a Reverend-order to efficiently travel in space. Moreover, distances were too fast in space and the Empyrean-order still was not powerful enough to traverse long distances, along with less safety.
'I'll have to make this efficient,' Erix focused and refined the veil of Prana, making it such that the consumption perfectly matched his natural recovery of Prana.
'Good,' Erix nodded to himself as he finished seven seconds and observed around. 'If I had Space element at 5th realm, I could've done better.'
Ten seconds passed and Erix felt a mysterious aura manifesting ten kilometers away from him.
It was a giant gaseous smoke sphere with glistering red, blue, and golden sparks.
'Lengthening fight here is not good. I guess I'll finish this faster using Blood Essence,' Erix grinned.
'Bista the Star Smoke, eh? Come on. Show me what you got.'
