Viktor took out so of the weapons he grabbed from the orcs and placed them in a neat pile.
The hideout was small, just enough for 8 people to fit in and move a bit, so there was no space to pull out all of the weapons he obtained. However, a quick count is enough to know that he has at least 100 tier 1 weapons and 20 tier 2 weapons.
Tier 2 weapons are more valuable, and it can be used to support his companions. So he decided to extract all the tier 1 weapons instead.
Viktor took out around half a dozen strange looking sabers from his storage before extracting them one by one.

[12 mid-level tal essence extracted]
[tal forged successfully.]
One by one, the orcs' weapons broke down into liquid-like tal, before turning into energy and absorbed into his spirit core. As the numbers in front of his eyes went up bit by bit, Viktor's smile turned wider.
"I really can't believe this, Djinn! This feels just like an all-you-can-eat buffet!" Viktor said in his mind.

[13 mid-level tal essence exctracted]
[tal forged successfully.]
Right now, each of the lower-tier weapons would only give him less than a 0,5% increase to stage 4. Fortunately, he has a lot of weapons to absorb,

[tal forged successfully.]
Like there was nothing going on outside, Viktor continued extracting all the tier 1 weapons. Right as the last of the weapons disappeared, a notification appeared in his mind.
[Core of Anvil - Stage 4: 89.74%]
That was the stat he ended up with, which ant he got a 36% increase for 118 pieces of tier 1 weapons, both saber and dagger.
He only needed a little over 10%, so Viktor decided to bite the bullet and extract the tier 2 weapons next, hoping that by the end, he could spare so weapons for his companions.
[tal extraction]
[37 mid level tal essence found]
[tal forged successfully.]
It took him 7 pieces of the tier 2 weapons before he finally could pass the 100% mark. The corner of his lips curled up into a grin right as the ssage he was waiting for appeared.
[You have successfully forged Core of Anvil - Stage 4.]
[Your spirit core has been upgraded to stage 5.]
[Your spirit force has increased by 5 points.]
[You have reached a breakthrough into a new realm.]
[Earth Realm - Peak stage]
[You have received 1 magic point that can be freely distributed!]
[You have received 30 status points that can be freely distributed!]
Not only did his spirit core get an upgrade, but also he had managed to reach a new realm. Relief washed over him, as this proves that all the hard work he had been doing in the last 4 weeks, from the abyss pit to the pillars, have all finally paid off.
His hard work of raising his spirit force bit by bit had brought him to this point.
[Spirit Energy - tal - Stage 5]
He waited for a few seconds but saw no other notifications, which ant he isn't getting any new abilities despite reaching stage 5. Viktor sighed and said.
"What the hell? Nothing? Nada?!"
He had to hold himself back from yelling to thin air. As much as he wanted to unleash his anger, it would only be a useless waste of energy. Most likely, those 4 skills are all he would get from his tal core.
[tal Extraction], [tal Bending], [tal Tempering], and [tal Fusion]
On the other hand, he has reasons to believe that the 4 skills would be all he needed. At least he could be sure that each upgrade would work wonders on what he already has.
To distract himself, he tried to focus on his gains.
For the rank up, he got 30 extra status points, and that was sothing worth celebrating. After all, despite how strong he looked, he only managed to get points in spirit force throughout the last month, while all his companions slowly increased their battle power when their spirit force gradually increase. This would allow him to keep up with them.
However, he couldn't help but question the strange situation.
"Anyway, Djinn, what is up with my stats anyway? Why can't I get stronger bit by bit like the others instead of having to receive my stats in a lump sum at the end?"
The Djinn seed to hesitate for a split second.
