Chapter 350: Loot Time, Fun Time
Hearing the question, Erix and Rin were at first taken aback before smiling.
"We've been waiting for this question for some time, haha," Rin chuckled and then cleared her throat.
Sameira and Kenshin looked at each other, their eyes already saying that they had the answer in the back of their mind.
"That's right, it's a harem," Rin said, showing her white teeth while grinning.
"Cough," Erix coughed and said, "Actually, there are two more women."
Sameira and Kenshin were dumbfounded.
"Brat, you really made a harem before making a kingdom," Kenshin wryly smiled.
"Erix is more than enough to handle us, and our group is awesome," Rin smiled as she grabbed Erix's arm and rested her head on his shoulder. "Hehe…"
"Well…we have given you freedom, and you are more than mature enough to make your decisions," Sameira sighed and wryly smiled. "As long as you are happy."
…
After everyone returned back to their respective guilds after a tiresome expedition of 10 hours, everyone went to sleep.
It was seven in the evening, and the daily World Boss event would start after three everyone, so all 118 people also wanted to recover and return to prime condition for the boss fight.
Erix and Rin also directly went to sleep because they had also exhausted themselves mentally and physically, especially due to their protection offer scheme.
After they woke up two hours later, Aria, Erix, Rin, Isabella, and other Royal-order guild members gathered under Dreanox Tree.
"It's time to see the fruits," Rin said as she took out a large pile of Orbs of Lost Ancient.
A total of 71 orbs!
The others also took out their orbs.
Everyone had at least five or six orbs!
"I also want to open some," Aria said with eager eyes as she looked at the orbs.
*Whistle…*
Suddenly, everyone heard a whistle and felt some winds before Sangle also arrived at the tree, with Amu sitting on it.
"Where did you two go?" Erix curiously asked.
"We went to scout some areas," Amu said while laughing in his usual childish voice. "It's a clan of a certain type of Demon bloodline. A fun place, hehe. I'll tell you more later."
"For now, tell me what are these orbs?" Amu jumped upon one of the orbs, its eyes curious.
"A reward we get after killing a monster in Atlantis," Rin said as she rubbed her palms while smiling. "Let's begin."
Erix parted the pile of 71 orbs into four and gave it to Aria, Rin, and Isabella before all four started opening the orbs one by one.
After ten minutes, a big pile of various things appeared in the group, with the most reward being Prana crystals.
Zoe, Elena, Leon, and other guild members opened five or six orbs at least one medium to high-grade elemental crystal, so they could make further progress in getting powerful.
Maya was the luckiest among others as she got a mysterious rune inscribed with a pair of skills of Water-attribute.
Aqua Dragon's Chant and Deep Blue Piece. These two were Tier-5 skills but had the potential to progress further by the user.
However, Maya didn't have water-affinity, so it was useless for her. In the end, Maya and Samuel made an exchange.
A Primary medium-grade elemental crystal in exchange for the Power Rune.
All powerhouses who participated in the recent expedition of Atlantis and many others have tasted the power of an Elemental Crystal.
It could give them the inspiration and enlightenment required to make progress and breakthroughs in their elements' mastery and realm.
It was a direct boost since their overall combat power depended on their mastery of elements.
For Maya, it was a good deal because the most important, valuable, and limited resources at the moment were none other than Elemental Crystals.
On the other hand, out of 71 Orbs of Lost Ancient, Erix and Rin acquired the following rewards:
-> 5400 x low-grade Prana crystals. (Orbs: 34)
Some orbs gave as low as 100 low-grade Prana crystals, while some gave as high as 1000 low-grade Prana, but rarely.
-> 800 x medium-grade Prana crystals (Orbs: 8)
-> 200 x high-grade Prana crystals (Orbs: 2)
-> 9 x low-grade Primary elemental crystals (Orbs: 9)
-> 5 x medium-grade Primary elemental crystals (Orbs: 4)
-> 2 x high-grade Primary elemental crystals. (Orbs: 2)
-> 7 x Tier-5 plant and ore resources. (Orbs: 5)
-> 11 x Tier-4 ore and plant resources. (Orbs: 11)
-> 1 x Mega Key of Lost Ancient. (Orbs: 1)
"We got a good loot, alright," Rin nodded while smiling and picked up the Mega Key of Lost Ancient.
"The keys can give traits to a weapon and transform it. It's a rare item as well," Isabella said as she curiously looked at the key. "You didn't get any normal key out of 71 orbs but got a higher version of it."
"Yeah, boss. What if you make your best weapon to date, and then use this key on it?" Tony grinned. "It's gonna be a super op weapon."
"True," Rin nodded.
"How about a new Katana for Rin?" Aria said with a bubbly smile. "That way, you can use your Raibor Power Slime for other things."
"That's right," Amu sagely nodded with closed eyes. "That Raibor Power Slime has a big potential. Don't forget that it's a reward from the best natural wonder location in Kalaanx Abyss."
"That reminds me, my Radiant Lifebane Tree will level up soon. The month is ending tomorrow, so the new batch of fruits will also mature fully," Erix said.
"Great!" Rin grinned. "With those fruits that give us powerful buffs, we can take on some risky challenges."
"Yep."
"Let's put away the Prana crystals for now. We'll save them until we have gathered enough for us to complete the first stage of the next rank-up process," Erix said as he waved his hand and put away all Prana crystals into his personal space inventory.
Ever since he had finished studying and creating formations to make sub-space storage to add to his U-cards, Erix had also created the best inventory for him.
The best thing was that the personal inventory he created with his mastery of the Space element was the fastest to access for him and he could keep track of items easily.
"As for these resources. Aria, take these," Erix said as he gave away the Tier-4 and Tier-5 ore and plant-type resources to her.
"You can keep the plant-type resources for your Alchemy and exchange ores for other plant-type resources when you find them." Stay tuned for updates on m-v l|e'm,p y r
"Okie," Aria smiled and happily took the resources. "I can already craft Tier-4 potions with special effects thanks to my Bloodline. Hehe, just wait a few more days and then I'll create even better potions than those experts of the Moondawn Elf clan."
"Oh? That's a pleasant surprise," Erix said with a laugh.
"Because I spent the whole day learning it and made a breakthrough while you were in expedition," Aria proudly smiled.
"Can I also learn with you, sister Aria?" Beatrice said with slight hesitation. "Actually, I have Alchemy sub-class, but since I wanted to focus on becoming more powerful, I didn't make much progress in it."
"But I think, I can take some time to practice it."
"That's good," Aria smiled. "We can practice at the elf clan. They got all the tools, lessons, and proper things to nurture Alchemists."
"Now, the Primary elemental crystals," Erix said as he glanced at everyone.
Indeed, everyone's eyes slightly changed, with one common factor appearing in every one.
Anticipation.
"As you all know, low-grade Primary Elemental crystals are not useful for us," Erix smiled. "So, those nine crystals will be distributed among you."
"To make the distribution easy for us, the twelve of you can discuss and distribute these nine crystals among you."
"Wha..dat's not fair, boss," Zoe pouted.
Rin playfully snickered and said, "Nah, you all decide among yourselves. We have to go."
Erix waved his hand and sent the nine crystals on the ground before them, lined up shiningly.
"You've fought together, so you know who needs it more, who is close to achieving a breakthrough, and the distribution that can increase the overall team's power," Erix said with a faint smile. "Keep in mind that we'll be going to Atlantis expedition daily."
"Mhmm."
Everyone nodded.
"Alright, Let's get going now. World Boss is starting in a few minutes," Isabella said.
*Whistle*
"Haha, alright, alright. I know," Erix caressed Sangle's head and teleported on its broad back.
Aria, Rin, Isabella, and Amu also teleported beside him with a blink of his eyes.
But by the time Sangle flew up with a flap of its wing, one more person arrived on Sangle's back.
"Aaah! You scared me…."
Aaron suddenly arrived right before Isabella, but then seeing the sky background behind his mother, Aaron's face turned red and his eyes shined.
"Yey!! Boss time," Aaron shouted and hugged Isabella before jumping beside Erix and giddily smiling. "Boss Erix, what will you who me this time?"
Aaron had started calling Erix Boss Erix like many others in the guild and wouldn't stop.
Moreover, Aaron was gaining more experience and training while having fun every day.
During daily World Boss events, he would join them as Erix would go to another area's World Boss for a small late-night fun ride and some action with rewards.
"After the world boss, I have a surprise," Amu said while grinning.
"Yeah, you said about finding a clan?" Erix curiously asked.
"Demon clan, eh? What's special about it?" Rin also fired a question of curiosity.
"Hehe, I will not tell you. Just wait for the surprise."
Isabella chuckled while Erix and Rin jokingly rolled their eyes.
"Fine. Let's hope you are not blowing an empty horn," Erix jokingly sneered.
"Humph. You shall see, brat."
"Hahaha…"
Amidst laughter and giggles, the group arrived at another sanctuary area with only several seconds remaining before the world boss's appearance.
