Chapter 72: FTL Drives Stops, Exiting the Hyperspace.

[ Matching Completed ]

[ Squad ]

- Athan

- Tiana

- Raz

- VAHTELJUZE

[ To complete Muddy Hell of the Immortal Pig dungeon, Just defeat the main boss. ]

The scenery around Athan and others changed as they arrived on a ground that was filled with brown mud.

Just as they arrived here, one of the team members cursed out loud, " Fuck the AI of this virtual world, It's always shortening my name like this. "

He had spiky brown hair, a slim build, and wore a colorful loose open robe which showed the tight suit he wore.

Another team member who wore a white robe like those kung-fu masters spoke with a baffled expression, " You are VAHTELUZE? If this is a short version then what the heck is the full form? "

VAHTELJUZE spoke after clearing his throat, "It's the name my Royal father bestowed to me. Listen carefully, My name is Van Aer Heilulio Tri El Lou Jade Urce Zii Elano. "

*Thud...*

*????????????????????????????????????????????????????????...

A giant brown pig actually fell from the sky.

It was 20 meters tall, 8 meters in length, and had brown scales on its body, The Giant Pig let out the typical pig sound and dashed towards VAHTLJUZE.

" Looks like the pig didn't like your long-ass name. " Raz commended while laughing.

Athan and Tiana held back their laughs as Athan said with a serious face, " This pig is no joke, Be careful. " He then turned to VAHTLJUZE and said, " We'll call you Elano instead of your full name. "

" So Elano, Go and distract the pig since it's coming after you. " Raz spoke right after that.

Elano was running as he spoke with an annoyed face " I am already doing it, you blind monk. "

Athan and others then started to shower attacks on the Giant Pig while Elano was running away from the pig using a movement spell that seemed to be using Air and Lightning energy.

The Giant Pig was taking loads of attacks when it suddenly let out a loud typical pig sound.

*????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????....*

Afterward, The Mud they were standing on started to rise as before turning into small balls that shot towards everyone.

Athan and Tiana hid behind the golem while Raz conjured a cloudy barrier around him that actually rebounded the mud balls that hit it.

As for Elano, He wore a Spell armor that seemed to exclude Earth and Light energy.

After shouting, The Giant Pig continued to go after Elano who cursed, " Why the fuck it's going after me only?"

Athan and others shoot one more salvo of spell attacks, This time Athan released a 3 layer Impact Point of Fire energy.

After getting hit by this wave of Attack, The Giant Pig exploded into muddy liquid.

But before the squad could rejoice, They heard something.

*????????????????????????????????????????...????????????????????????????????????????...*

From the sea of mud, Two pigs that were just a bit smaller than the previous pig came into being as one Giant pig charged towards Elano while another went after Raz.

The two pigs were around the size of 18 meters so they were still pretty big and their speed seemed to have increased.

Elano had already started running for his life, but Raz was startled to suddenly have a Giant Pig running after him and failed to execute his movement speed as he was hit by the Giant pig's nose.

[ Raz is eliminated. ]

" WTF!! "

Athan and others were dumbfounded as what they just witnessed were very confusing.

Raz was actually eliminated just as the Giant Pig's nose touched him.

Athan adopted a serious expression and said to Tiana and Elano, " Be careful, It seems that we will be Eliminated even if we are touched by The Pigs. "

" That useless guy..." Elano cursed under his breath as the Gian Pig that eliminated Raz came after him.

But Both Giant Pigs could not catch up to him as Athan and Tiana defeated the two Giant pigs with their spells.

Athan spoke right after that, " Be careful, We didn't get the announcement of completing the dungeon. "

Just as he was finished speaking, Four typical pig sounds could be heard.

This time, Four pigs around 15 meters in size came into being from the mud.

Two pigs dashed towards Elano while the other two dashed towards Athan and Tiana.

" Don't get caught and keep running Elano, We'll help after dealing with the pigs here. " Athan shouted as he used Combusting Burst steps while grabbing Tiana at her waist.

" Tiana, Create Outburst Node barrier around us. " Saying this, Athan used his Bursts to create distance between the pigs and them.

After using burst steps a few times, He stopped and started to prepare the 2 layer impact point of Lightning Energy.

But when he was halfway, The pigs arrived near him, so he used few more burst steps and made the distance before finishing the Impact Point spell and threw it towards one of the Pigs behind them which killed it.

" Their Armor has decreased while their speed is increased. " Athan spoke after seeing the weak defense.

He then stopped and let the pig hit the barrier which activated the exploding nodes and right then, Athan shot two Impact Scatter at near point-blank range towards the pig which killed it.

" Athan look..." Tiana who was put down by Athan a few movements before the pig hit the outburst nodes spoke.

Hearing her, He followed the direction where she was looking and was surprised.

Elano who was running from the pig had a sword in his hand which was shining with silver light, After a few more seconds, He suddenly stopped running and waved his sword horizontally.

An invisible wides slash seemed to carry forward as it sliced both of the pigs into two.

" That spell he released from his sword...Its Space element...Oh yeah, I also wanted to buy a Space element spell but forgot about it, Guess I'll buy one after this. "

[ Congratulations! You have completed the Muddy Hell of Immortal Pig dungeon. ]

[ 30 points and a Normal to Athan, Tiana, and Elano and nothing for Raz as he was eliminated ]

...

After finishing this dungeon, Athan started Crypt of the Savage Arachnid.

[ Matching....]

[ Matching completed. ]

[ Squad ]

- Athan

- Tiana

- Luinus

- Xeni

[ Kill Every spider in 10 minutes to clear this dungeon ]

Right after the announcement, Countless spider started to crawl out from everywhere in the Crypt that was filled with statues of spiders.

Nobody had time to speak as They were instantly full-handed to kill the spider and handling their fast web attacks.

Tiana used her Lightning Inferno AOE spell that wiped out large numbers of spiders and Athan summoned golem around them after Tiana created some space with her AOE spell.

After he was done conjuring Golems, Tiana used her Outburst nodes around them which also destroyed the spiders.

After 5 minutes, The horde of the spiders became more powerful in speed and attack.

[ Luinus is eliminated. ]

Athan was out of Water and Lightning energy which he used previously, He had reserved Fire and Air for Combusting Burst steps, and his Earth energy was drained due to golems.

So this time, He used Dark energy.

After 2 minutes, he was out of Dark energy, Tiana was just using her spells occasionally to kill the spiders that broke through their defense.

Xeni had a sword in her hand which she used to kill the spider surround her, She was constantly swinging her sword without a pause, One could see that she was in extreme concentration. No spider had ever stepped into 1 meter of her surrounding.

When they passed 1 minute, 5 completely white Giant Spiders with pitch-black eyes arrived from the darkness in front of them.

They cast a wide net of Spiderweb at the same time which Athan dodged while grabbing Tiana with him and Xeni cut through the spiderweb with her sword spells.

From what Athan observed so far, She only used Air, Dark, Fire, and Lightning Elemental attacks with her sword.

After dodging the wide spider web net with his Combusting Burst steps, He was defenseless as his golems were now trapped in the web.

" We'll have to finish those spiders fast. " Saying this, He started dashed towards one of the spiders before pushing both of his hands towards its body at near point-blank range and released <Impact Scatter>.

Afterwhich, He used combusting Steps to dodge the incoming web attack from another spider before once again dashing near another spider and did the same thing.

Tiana also prepared a big energy ball of Lightning Inferno Energy and shoot towards the spider that was coming towards her to kill it

Xeni on other hand had already killed one spider and was prepared to kill the last one.

Energy gathered on her sword before she released a blue wave X-shaped energy towards the spider which cut it into four pieces.

[ Congratulations! You have cleared The Crypt of Savage Arachnid ]

[ 30 points and a Normal box to Athan, Tiana, and Xeni and nothing for Luinus as he was eliminated ]

...

After arriving at the Dungeon Plaza, Tiana said with a bit of excitement in her voice " Let's open the boxes first, We got 5 boxes each to open. "

She then looked at her boxes in inventory and saw an additional option [ Batch open x5 ] before pressing it.

[ Congratulations!!!!! You have received Meteore Sword, Wood Pill, Condensation Gate Creation Pill, Cloud Boots, Dark Affinity Pill. ]

Tiana's eyes shined seeing the last item she received and said, " Finally I got Affinity Pill, It's just sad that the point shop doesn't sell Affinity Pills and I can only get them through Normal Boxes. "

Athan took a look at her items and nodded with a smile before he also opened his boxes in batch.

[ You have triggered a Set effect which can grant to items of the same element, It only applies when you open 5 or more Normal boxes at the same time, and the chance of trigging it is 1% ]

[ Congratulations! You have received Basic Blood Body Refining Manual, Blood Affinity Pill, Bloody chain mail, Bloody Threads Flowing Method, and you received no items from one normal box. ]

Athan and Tiana were dumbfounded seeing the list of items.

Tiana had her mouth wide opened as she spoke in a surprised tone, " This set effect is a good thing, If we had known this then we would have opened the boxes in a batch of 5 all the time. "

Athan then thought for a while and said, " Let's take a break, I want to learn a Space Element spell first and do some other thing, I will probably be done in a few days so after that we'll finish those two 3 star dungeons in dual mode. "

" Alright, I will also eat this pill and find a Dark Element spell from the point shop to practice it. "

Athan then went into the Spell Testing Hall before opening the Point shop and directly bought Space Intent Plate using 10 points before moving to Page 3 to search for a space spell.

After searching for a bit, He found a spell that he liked.

[ Space Ripples ]

- Requirements: Elementry Space Intent, Space Constitution, Space Energy.

- You can use this spell to support your offensive spells to increase their speed and attack.

- You can also create ripples of space to disrupt incoming attacks, But if the incoming spells are more powerful then they can ignore the space ripples so it's better to use against weaker attack. For instance, If you create Space Ripples while having Elementry Space Intent and try to block a Normal spell like a Fire Ball from a person who had comprehended Intermediate Fire Intent then you will have no problem disrupting that spell but if the same person uses a more powerful Fire spell then Your space ripple might not work.

...

Athan bought this 120 Point spell after reading the description.

" Let's first comprehend the Space intent. "

...

It took him two days to comprehend the Elementry Level of Space Intent but instead of continuing, He decided to learn Space Ripples first.

He used the manual as all information of Space Ripple was sent inside his head.

" So the Flowing paths of this spell is at my hands," muttered Athan after looking at the information.

He tried to practice the flowing path of this spell while his Broken Impact Flowing method was running but their energy clashed against each other.

Athan frowned and thought, ' If it is like this then won't people have limited options? '

He then chose the Guide option as he appeared in a different space before asking out loud.

" How do you practice two different flowing method or spells if their flowing paths in the same part? "

[ You can't use two different Active Flowing Energy in the same part in Energy Plane, But you can do it after reaching Origin Intent Plane. ]

Sighing, Athan thought, ' That will have to wait for now I guess. '

He then went back to the Spell testing hall and thought about some things.

' First, The Blood Affinity Pill and Basic Blood Body refining Manual are useless to me since I will be able to gain Blood affinity and its constitution with the use of the black whirlpool so will give them to Tiana after I get those things physically. '

After deciding it, He took out Bloody Threads Flowing Method and used it to receive the information about it.

After reading about it, Athan was surprised as it was not like what he expected.

This Bloody Threads Flowing method turned out to be a fully defensive Flowing method, ' Guess I will save the manual and get a hardcopy after leaving the spaceship so Tiana can practice it. '

Afterward, He took out Bloody chain mail and sold it.

[ 98 points received. ]

He then continued to comprehend the Space Intent.

After six days of deep meditating his consciousness about the Space element under the black whirlpool, He finally comprehended The Space Intent at Intermediate Level.

After opening his eyes, Athan looked at the clock he made using Mystic Energy and thought, ' It took a longer time than I expected. '

Standing up, He left the Spell testing Hall before meeting up with Tiana after waiting for a while.

Tiana walked up to Athan while grinning.

Seeing her like this, Athan asked with a smile, " Did anything good happened? "

Tiana nodded her head while smiling and said, " I feel like I will be able to comprehend Ice Intent very soon, I think I'm lacking just a final epiphany before I comprehend the Elementry Ice Intent. "

Athan was pleasantly surprised and said, " That's awesome, Do you want to buy Ice Intent slate or plate to get that final boost? "

Tiana shook her head and said, " No need. After we reach the Myriad Stars Academy I'll go into meditation once again to try. Anyway Let's do those 3-star dungeons in dual-mode, I also learned a normal Dark energy spell which although is not as powerful as Flowing Spells, But it's still a bit useful to lower the defense of enemies. "

" Alright. "

...

They first cleared Muddy Hell of Immortal Pig dungeon where Tiana's corrosive Darkness spell proved to be quite useful.

The first Gian pig was a bit troublesome but after running and hitting tactic they defeated it and afterward there was no need to run as Tiana would first lower their defense before Athan would finish off the Giant pigs.

As for the Crypt of Savage Arachnid, They managed to clear it although Athan was only left with Space energy by the time they finished it, So it was actually a close call.

In the Normal box they opened, Tiana got a Weapon that utilizes sound energy and A Flowing Spell Mirage movement which needed Water and Ice to practice.

Athan received another Intent slate but it was Light Intent Slate which was useless to him so he sold it and the 2nd item he received was a Normal wood spell known as Wood shield wall.

He learned the spell even though he might not use it in the future and then sold it.

After they were done with their things, Athan said with a grin, " Since we have two days left, Let's fight as much as we can in Combat Arena to earn points. "

" I agree! Let's go..."

...

...

Meanwhile, The Spaceship turned off its FTL drives as they exited the Hyperspace and a blanket of Magnificent Celestial bodies started to appear.
