LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 487: Hunger Hunt
"Alright, that was a good decision from Erix," Korin said with a smile. "Let's open the Box and move to the Trial spot."
"True. If Erix remained here, we wouldn't be able to utilize and improve as much. However, he also needs to stand on his level, so it's better for him to move solo for now," Nira nodded.
"Girls, and Kenshin," Sameira said, her expression stern, "We all failed to awaken the Supreme concept and I am saying we should not give up. But for now, let's reach the peak in our Bloodline first."
"We can use wish rewards after that to awaken Supreme Concept."
"I also push for this suggestion," Nira said with a wry smile. "Reaching a peak in your Bloodline will require four or five Wish-rewards since your Bloodline is at Mythic-rank stage 2."
"Mhmm," Korin nodded and added as he looked at Rin and others. "If you want to reach the upper echelon of Elite Empyreans and join the playground with Erix, you'll have to do this first."
Korin narrowed his eyes and added, "Due to his major power-up just now, Erix must have scanned a huge part of this playground. Because of Space, his scanning power is already peak, so he must have found many spots and many interesting things."
"So he is on a hunt of his own right now."
After speaking, Korin took out the Win-Lose box and said, "We should focus on our own pace for now. Let's open this."
Everyone looked at the box and saw its description.
[Win-Lose Box]
_Description: A box containing two possibilities.
—> Win: Gain 1 x Wish reward to each group member, 5000 Artisan points, and a one-time use Artifact.
—> Lose: -5000 Artisan points, 1 Terminator Exsanguisher Boss, -1 random Feature of Throne Hall.
"One more one-time use Artifact? This is great," Nira's eyes shone. "The more we have these one-time artifacts, the better for us."
"But Lose is also a big. Why did we get such a bull shit as a reward?" Kenshin snorted.
"True," Lily nodded with a weak smile. "So who will open? I won't though."
"If Aria was here, she would have definitely gotten Win," Rin said with a chuckle.
"I wonder when she will return," Lilith smiled. "But since she is not here…then I think Sameira should open it."
"What, me? No," Sameira shook her head. "I don't trust my luck that much."
Everyone looked at each other before they all looked at Korin who held the box.
"Alright, then I shall put it away for now," Korin ruefully smiled. "We'll open it if we suddenly need one-time use artifacts during battle."
Everyone nodded.
"Let's return to Throne Hall and upgrade it since we got the required amount," Nira said with a grin. "After that, we'll go to another Event. This time, we'll win without Erix."
…
What Korin said is right. Erix had indeed scanned a vast amount of area when he had 300k stats in all parameters.
His senses and range were massive at that time, so he unrestrainedly used Space Mapping. It was not ordinary space mapping, but the best version of it that he could create.
At the moment, 20% of the playground's area was completely detailed in Erix's mind, with every single spot of Challenge, Trial, Event, various phenomena, and throne halls available to him!
'Void…I need a Wish-reward right now, so I can create a Super Exotic Element mixing Void and Life with other elements.'
'Which means I also need to awaken some advanced elements I feel suitable to mix with Void and Life.'
'Alright,' Erix's eyes shone while a grin spread across his face.
'Let's start.'
Erix appeared in an area filled with five challenge spots. One of the spots was being challenged by a group at the moment.
He didn't go into any challenge spot, but just floated in a cross-legged position and closed his eyes.
'Void element...'
Erix stretched his hand and produced a bit of Aethir force. A tiny bit of it turned into a Void elemental wisp as Erix applied Metamorph to it.
On his shoulder, the Void Elemental also appeared—a pitch-black slime with two dreamy white eyes containing swirling black pupils.
"Buddy…I leave it to you to grant me my desired outcome," Erix smiled and nudged Void Elemental with his finger before closing his eyes.
"Vuvu..." Void Elemental emitted a cute sound as it jumped and floated above Erix's palm.
A barrier appeared around Erix afterward.
'Sleep and surrender my thinking to my desire.'
Erix spellbound himself and let go of his consciousness while infusing his subconsciousness's connection to the Aethir force in his palm.
He wanted a combination that goes with Void to create a Super Exotic Element.
If he started calculating possibilities, there would be many and it would be hard to decide which one was best because Super Exotic Elements were unique in the way they evolved after awakening.
That's why Erix decided to leave the decision to choose two Elements to pair with Void…to his whim.
To produce a whim that was accurate and akin to a guaranteed possibility of his desired outcome, he surrendered his active will and turned dormant while triggering his subconsciousness and instincts into the Aethir force.
Aethir force resonated with one's thought and held endless possibilities, so it worked as he expected.
The Aethir force on his palm started transforming.
The first potion turned into a dark orange wisp with black spots.
The second portion turned into ice particles.
Erix opened his eyes and looked at both elements beside Void.
'The first one is a mix of Darkness and Fire…the advanced element Gloomblaze, eh? Interesting.'
'The second is also an advanced element, Ice.' Erix raised his eyebrows. 'Unexpected, but I shall carve it in.'
'Void, Gloomblaze, and Ice. Alright.'
'Now, let's make a combo for Life element.'
Erix made the same setup as before, creating a wisp of Life element while putting two portions of Aethir force beside it on his palm.
The Life elemental also appeared in its bird-form chirping charmingly before heeding Erix's command and standing on his wrist.
Erix closed his eyes and started the process.
Soon, the changes appeared…as well as the group that just finished their challenge.
