Chapter 142: Soul Weakens, Unima Core
Tiana, Avelia, Qerin, and Mike were sitting around the round table while Athan was preparing to eat the Unima fruits.
He first selected the unima fruit that Tiana took a bite from and ate it.
It looked like a normal fruit when it entered his mouth, but after a few seconds, he started to feel dizzy, and a certain kind of power pressured his soul.
But it only lasted for 5 seconds before he stopped feeling anything.
At this ti, Mimi spoke, " Guardian brother, Eat another. "
Athan nodded and ate the second unima fruit that was complete.
This ti, He felt the sa sensation but many tis stronger as he felt unimaginable pressure on his soul.
All of the crystals inside his Energy Realm started to tremble while his soul started to weaken.
It started shrinking from 50 ters big as if his soul was being used to create sothing along with the trembling crystals.
45 ters.
40 ters.
35 ters.
...
His soul was shrinking gradually, and it finally stopped shrinking at 5 ters.
Athan's soul weakened a lot, but a new thing appeared inside his Energy Realm.
A perfectly round white crystal ball.
This crystal ball was in the middle of his energy realm, but it did nothing.
Athan didn't feel any new powers or felt stronger.
Looking at Mimi with confusion and doubt, He asked, " Mimi...can you tell what benefits I get after eating unima fruits? "
Mimi giggled and said, " It will create unima core inside you. Unima core is essential for strong people. "
" Umm...But I don't see any benefits of this unima core. It's not doing anything, and my soul, which was 50 ters big, now beca 5 ters. "
Athan spoke as he smiled wryly.
Mimi appeared confused, and she said with a pout, " But without unima core, you can't cast powerful magic spells. "
Athan appeared surprised as he thought, ' Does this thing strengthen my spell power? ' He then said to Mimi with a smile, " It's okay. I will know sooner or later what are the benefits of unima core. "
Mimi repeatedly nodded with a smile and said," yep yep. There are benefits of unima core. I thought guardian brother was powerful enough with his soul, but I guess I gave it too early, hehe. Anyway, its effect will be fully shown when you get stronger. "
After that, Mimi giggled and ran back to play with Lucky.
Athan, Tiana, and others went behind the mountain range to check if unima core really strengthens his spell powers.
" Mimi said that you couldn't cast powerful spells without unima core, so it might be sothing that I won't be able to activate or use with my current stage.", Said Athan to others.
" I feel like it's definitely the thing that requires us to be more powerful since it shrank Athan's soul from 50 ters to 5 ters, and the limit of soul at Soul Altar Plane is 5 ters max. " Avelia spoke after thinking for a bit.
Athan nodded and said, " Anyway, Let's see if my spells are strengthened or not. "
He stretched his right hand forward and released an impact shot of Ice energy, but it wasn't strengthened by unima core.
But when he used ice energy, he felt sothing.
' What was that? ' A frown appeared on his face because he felt so kind of connection to sothing powerful when he used ice energy.
He released a few more spells of different elents and kept feeling the sa thing, but he couldn't do anything about it.
' It's like I am close to grasping sothing powerful but not yet ready for it. '
Tiana and others saw Athan frowning and deep in thought for a few seconds before he sighed and shook his head.
They wondered what he was thinking about, but Athan looked at them and said with a wry smile, " Let's go outside. I am not strong enough to activate this unima core and don't want to waste ti thinking about it. Instead, Let's try out the new soul technique I created. "
" The na of this technique is called soul-linked threads. I will use it on you all, and if it succeeds, We can train and participate in the trial without much danger while also tempering ourselves better. Alright, open your soul realms and connect the threads I am about to give to your soul. "
Tiana and others nodded, and seeing this; Athan used the technique.
He used his soul energy and created threads with it before entering them inside their soul realm.
Afterward, Avelia and others connected the thread to their soul by consuming a bit of soul energy.
Feeling the connection, Athan said with a smile, " Now let's check the duration of this technique and its limit. "
Athan took everyone outside before he returned to the special space.
" Hmmm, I can feel the connection even if they are outside, so it will probably work. " muttering this, Athan snapped his finger, and Mike and others appeared in front of him.
They were suddenly surprised to appear inside the special space.
" Hahaha, bro. This is a good technique. If it can work inside the trial, you can transport us inside the special space if we are in danger. "
Mike laughed as he realized the usefulness of this technique.
" Indeed, but we still don't know if it will work inside the trial and every trial is different. For now, Let's see how long the threads last. "
After that, They sat down around the round table and started filling up their geno tree's 2nd branch.
They didn't make any progress in this since they were nurturing their Altar Spirits past two months.
After two hours, The soul threads linked to their soul expired, which ant that this technique's duration is two hours.
Athan fell into thought, ' I used 10% of my soul energy, which ans that it will last longer if I consu more energy to create the threads. '
The recovery of soul energy is a natural process that can't be accelerated by pills or anything.
If he consus all of his soul energy, then it will take 5 days for him to recover all of that in his estimation.
Previously, he didn't spend that much soul energy since he had abundant, but now he knew.
" Alright, everyone. Let's explore outside and see if we can encounter one more trial. "
Everyone nodded as they were eager to participate in trials since they would " adjust " themselves.
Athan used 50% of his soul energy to use the soul-linked threads this ti and took everyone outside.
The area had weird plants, mostly red and orange, while a few of them were green.
The ground and terrain were all dark orange and light red-colored.
After moving for a short while, they actually ca across a giant tree.
The tree was actually ten kiloters tall and four hundred ters wide.
Its trunk was fully red, while the leaves and branches were a mix of red, orange, and green.
There was a hole in the shape of the giant door on the trunk, which was probably the entrance of this trial.
Athan put Tiana and others inside the special space and entered the door.
[ Welco to the Trial of Infernal Ascendency ]
[ This trial requires six participants to start. ]
As soon as Athan entered, He arrived in a round wooden hall. Green vines were sticking to the round hall's red and orange walls, and there was already soone in the hall before Athan arrived.
The being in front of Athan seed to be a mber of the Terred Race, One of the five great races just like that Lord Tiragian and Qinci.
[ A/N: Terred race: three tentacles in place of hands and feet, red skin color, and white eyes with a red iris. ]
Athan was surprised that he was not attacked directly this ti, but then he just realized that he couldn't sense his powers or anything like energy realm or genesis realm or soul realm, just like in the trial of pandingram.
' So that's why he didn't attack . It looks like this trial was originally ant to seal everyone's powers. '
He then decided to bring out others since there were four participants needed to start the trial.
The terred race being was shocked to see four people arriving in front of Athan and revealed confusion.
[ The Trial of Infernal Ascendecy will start now. Please select your first team trait and individual talent. ]
At this ti, The terred race mber spoke while looking at Athan and the group, " My na is Roukin, and I have participated in a trial of similar nature, and the rewards of this trial will be very high depending on our performance, but this nature of trial is also the most dangerous. It will probably be sothing that we need to work together to overco so I suggest we work together. "
Athan and others heard this and looked at the big screen in front of them.
[ Team trait ]
1) Attack up: Every floor cleared will grant 5% attack power to all mbers. ( level 1 )
2) Defence up: Every floor cleared will grant 5% defense power to all mbers. ( level 1 )
3) Suffer Together: The damage will be shared between all mbers. ( can prevent soone from dying directly. )
4) Chain attack: attacking one by one will increase each mber's subsequent damage greatly, with the last mber's successful attack being able to instantly kill the enemy.
[ Highest voted trait will be selected ]
There was another smaller screen in front of everyone with four different talents and a vote section with numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 that corresponded to the four-team traits.
When they looked at the list of talents, They couldn't help but reveal a confused expression.
