Incapacitating everyone at the Elental Stone Mine resulted in an eerie silence. The sounds of pickaxes hitting the walls of the mine stopped as it was replaced by the groaning of those afflicted by the side effect of being exposed to the Ailnt Aura.
Since it's located inside a hole, unless a flying Dark World denizen flew above or a new Noxian expendable arrived, no one would find out about what happened at the mining area.
However, with the continuous influx of new Noxian expendables, it's only a matter of a few minutes before soone finds out and reports it to whoever's in authority.
Nonetheless, with our objective starting in a few minutes as well, the ti bought was enough for us to empty their storehouse filled with the Elental Stones mined by the Noxians.
"What will you do with these, Daisuke?"
Jayna asked after I entered the storehouse, her arms were already busy putting in every raw Elental Stones in various sizes inside a Necklace.
"Ergency energy source. Just in case we find ourselves in a place where there's no inherent Energy like Earth, these will be of so use to us. Well, if there's too much, we can give those Elites a boost. I might also use so of that to accelerate my cultivation. Though it's not even two weeks since I achieved a breakthrough, I'm a stage away from reaching the 4th realm. Once I reach that, I believe I will be getting a lot of new skills and abilities."
There's the supposedly Ultimate Skill on System Pathway, the Crown Skill on the Physique Pathway, the Noble Crest on the Spirit Pathway, the evolution of Advanced Energy Control and the accompanying Skill for it on the ta Pathway, and lastly, my first Secondary Core in Elental Pathway.
I feel like the first three will be synchronized. They're all supposed to be an Ultimate Skill after all. My Transformation as an Energy Incarnate will also be perfected. Also, I'm curious how the Advanced Energy Control will evolve. Super Advanced Energy Control? Probably not.
Either way, it will really give a feeling of climbing into a new realm. There will probably be new Support Skills as well or improvents of already existing Support Skills from my System.
Ah. Wait. Will a Support Skill beco my Ultimate Skill?
But now that I think of it. Everything given by that System is all for Support. If that's the case, the Crown Skill and the Noble Crest will be separated…
Let's hope for an offensive one. Sothing like One Punch to end everyone or One Glare to intimidate anyone. That will be too convenient.
Anyway. That's a lot to look forward to, huh?
"That's right. You're still not a Noble Spirit. You're already too strong that it's kind of slipping off from my mind."
As if it's sothing she just realized, Jayna's expression appeared that of soone who had just been enlightened.
"I know. Even I tend to forget sotis."
Upon hearing my response, she couldn't help but let out a giggle.
As we continued to empty the storehouse, a Transcendent Aura swept over which made Jayna alerted.
The few minutes that we got finally expired. Soone reported and a Transcendent instantly arrived.
That's kind of efficient, eh? Most likely they beca alerted when the World's Wil started to attack every Zone she could encounter.
"Continue emptying this out. I will be welcoming our guests. Follow once you're done."
"Take care, Daisuke."
Jayna said, a hint of worry appearing on her face.
"Un. Don't worry, your man is like a cockroach who can dodge even the swiftest slippers."
I smirked before putting my hand on the door.
"What kind of analogy is that?"
Confused at my words, Jayna cutely tilted her head.
"I also don't know. I just thought of that pest."
"It's refreshing to hear you joke about sothing, even if I can't understand it."
Jayna giggled and continued her work of stuffing the Necklaces on her.
I know. It's kind of a la joke….
Anyway. Let's et this newcor.
"Who dares to revolt against us?!"
A thick and proud voice reverberated throughout the whole Dark World Zone. He probably thought that it's just a few Noxian ants trying to escape from punishnt.
He already scanned us and surely found out that there are two Noxians stealing the mined Elental Stones.
As soon as I left the room, I saw the owner of the voice hovering above the hole as he looked down on with his arms crossed.
Clearly, he's a Transcendent who most likely already started to thread his own Pathway. Compared to the average height of humans, the guy is at least two ters tall and his race or tribe is soone I'm seeing for the first ti.
He has a bulky build one would often see on those bodybuilders who prioritize their muscle developnt to be like that. He's wearing sothing like a cowhide with black and white patterns sewed to beco a cloak but the most striking trait of his is his horns. Not a devil horn which was often depicted in fiction but bull-like horns which protruded from both sides of his head, just a little bit above his ears.
"Excuse . We're not trying to revolt here, alright? We're just stealing from this storehouse. Can you turn a blind eye on this?"
I responded and like I expected, thick veins appeared on his forehead as anger instantly flooded him.
His Transcendent Aura once again washed over but this ti, it solely focused on as it tried to pressure into kneeling.
However, his Aura is not enough to do that. I'm not even being pressured.
Five seconds.
Ten seconds.
Thirty seconds.
After a minute of trying to make kneel through focusing his Transcendent Aura on , the horned-guy floating dumbly above finally managed to realize now that his Aura's pressure is not working.
His crossed arms loosened as a rusted greataxe appeared from his hand, instantly filling it with his Dark Energy.
With its rusted appearance, one would think it is of poor quality but only soone like us would be able to see its uniqueness. It's even higher in quality than the greatsword of that Dark Soldier Transcendent.
Now that I think of it. Avelin needs a new weapon. I thought of having those from the World of ta forge her one using Regenium but this one might be better than that.
"Who are you?! Why did those winged bastards in the Central Area not ntion they have more people at their level?!"
The horned-guy questioned as he started to prepare for his attack. At this mont, more Dark World denizens appeared surrounding the area. However, those guys were negligible. They're not enough to beco a threat.
"Who knows what they're thinking? Why don't you ask them?"
Since Jayna's disguise is already a Transcendent Rank, even this guy couldn't see through it. He probably thought that I'm just an unnad Noxian who's strong enough to resist his pressure.
"Bastard! You! Attack first, questions later!"
He raged before commanding those Mortal Ranks that was surrounding the area.
Heeding his command, they all took out their weapons or started activating so skills.
One by one, they charged towards . However, before they could even reach the 10-ter mark before , I pointed my finger on the fastest one and cast a 3-nodes Elental Spell.
Darkness Bullet!
It's an upgraded Air Bullet of Darkness Elent. I'm posing as a Noxian to feed his misconception so… let's play the part well.
The spell traveled unhindered and hit the incoming Dark World denizen right on his forehead.
Before he could be aware of what happened, he fell down on the ground.
But yeah, that's just one of many. After hitting that one, my finger pointed to another one and another Darkness Bullet was shot.
Now I feel like I'm in an action movie as I started to shoot down each and every goon of the villain whose only purpose is to show that the protagonist is that strong before fighting the villain.
"Useless! That's just one lower world ant!"
As more bodies dropped to the ground. The horned-guy gritted his teeth and swooped down with his greataxe slashing downwards creating a crescent energy projectile while shouting those words
Before that crescent attack which was ejected from his weapon reached , I flapped my fake wings and flew backwards to dodge him before shooting another Darkness Bullet towards him.
Lower world ant, huh? Too bad for those Noxians but this is what these guys think about them. They're just an ant that they could exploit.
The horned guy lifted his greataxe, blocking the Darkness Bullet.
However, as he didn't expect the force from it, his feet skid on the ground as he tried to resist it.
"Sorry, not your turn yet."
I said before ignoring him as I flew higher to target more of the incoming Dark World denizens using only Darkness Bullets.
It feels like I ca back from that first battle where all I had was Air Bullet and Flash Steps.
At this mont, the matter of the storehouse already slipped their minds, giving Jayna the necessary ti to finish there.
As the horned guy once again prepared to attack , he was suddenly alerted as he turned around only to see nurous red vines rushing towards his direction.
He brandished his greataxe to cut them but the vines, seemingly sentient dodged it and circled around his body, restricting him completely.
But it didn't end with just that. A few seconds later, the vines started to glow and ignited in flas, engulfing him in it.
