[tal Extraction]

Viktor stared at his hand and the other remaining weapons, still in disbelief that they could be extracted just like that.
Jessie, who had been watching him from afar, had now stood up and stared at him with suspicion and curiosity.
"H-how…"
The girl looked at the tal he extracted with wide eyes. Although Viktor could see that Jessie was trying to hold herself back, she still could not hide the curiosity and suspicion she harbored.
She had seen how Viktor was able to bend and temper tal, but being able to absorb it into his body was an entirely new level of abnormality she previously did not know was possible.
A series of questions rapidly ran through her head, but after dumbfoundedly looking at Viktor and the extracted tal back and forth, she ultimately shook her head. Despite her overflowing desire to understand the matter, she decided not to say anything about it.
She promised to respect that each person had their secrets, after all. She had no right to ask him.
Viktor found it too difficult to keep it hidden from the girl, but at the sa ti, he was unwilling to explain as it might lead to the Djinn's existence being found out. Because of that, he decided to just act casually.
"Jessie, isn't all this supposed to be virtual? Why am I able to extract these items?"
eting Viktor's questioning gaze, Jessie explained that everything in the tower, aside from the tower itself, was made of energy. Even the weapons, skill books, the shop, and the enemies for the trials on the floors were made of so kind of energy. Hence, it stands to reason that even this virtual space was made of energy, which ant that hypothetically, it could be converted to sothing else.
The girl explained that this was the theory studied by the scribe from the Vatican; she added that this energy output was the reason every activity in the tower cost spirit stones. In order for the tower to keep functioning properly, it needed to extract so energy every ti soone ca and used its facilities.
After digesting the information, Viktor made an "oh" and nodded.
"Well, I guess spirit stones are kind of like fuel," he thought out loud.
"It is more complicated than that, but yes, that is the gist of it."
It was definitely not Viktor's expertise, but what was important to him was the authenticity of this information. If what Jessie told him was true, he might be able to exploit the situation and gain so benefit.
Before he started, Viktor decided to check on his core.
[Core of Anvil - Stage 4: 16.98%]
To his surprise, the previous tal extraction did not give him much, only less than 1% for a tier 1 dagger. To confirm his conjecture, he also took one of the tier 2 blades he took from the orcs and placed them all on the floor.
He took a deep breath to compose himself as this was the first tier 2 material he was going to extract.

[Core of Anvil - Stage 4: 16.98% (19.15%)]
The tier 2 blade gave him an increase of around 2%. Although this was considerably more than the tier 1 dagger, he was actually expecting more from a tier 2 weapon.
Still, he was quite happy with the result, especially since the blade was a loot item.
With high curiosity, he decided to take out the tier 2 hamr he barely used and began extracting the tal in it.

[Core of Anvil - Stage 4: 19.15% (34.44%)]
This ti, the extraction gave him a whopping 15% increase. Although the hamr was a much heavier item, it did not have 4 tis more volu. After comparing the numbers, Viktor concluded that the items in the virtual challenge gave out less essence than their real counterparts.
If his assumption was correct, the items here should give about a quarter or a fifth of the real ones.
It was quite significantly less, but this was more than enough to make his heart rapidly beat in excitent. Without wasting another mont, Viktor quickly took out all the other tier 2 and tier 1 weapons that he took from the orcs.

In just a few minutes, all the weapons had vanished into thin air.
[Core of Anvil - Stage 2: 34.44% (39.02%)]
Now that he found this possibility, the challenge ant more to him than just the final reward. There were approximately 2,000 of those orcs, which ant that he had more or less 2,000 tal weapons to extract.
"Hey, Djinn, let's go and hunt again!" he happily said, clearly in a good mood.
