Chapter 1858 Upgrade
Emery ventured deep into a secluded cave within the heart of the fourth layer crossover, far removed from the presence of Jinkan and others. His choice of location was deliberate; he sought solitude to conduct his experiments undisturbed. This hidden chamber, shielded from prying eyes, would serve as the perfect laboratory for his endeavors.
With his gathered shards arrayed before him, Emery meticulously organized them. The assortment included 5 Earth Shards, 4 Plant Shards, and a formidable cache of 35 Light Shards. In addition to these, he possessed two bags—one brimming with tiny Light Shards and the other containing nature shards of both earth and plant.
Emery's voice echoed through the chamber as he summoned his loyal plant companions from the depths of the Khaos gate. The six beings, including Twik and the Chizpurs brothers, materialized before him, their forms a vibrant display of nature's diversity.
"Kuang.. Ku Ku"The creatures emitted soft, almost melodic sounds, expressing their curiosity and anticipation. Emery regarded them with a fond smile, appreciating the bond he shared with these beings.
"I wonder if any of these will be useful for you all," Emery mused aloud, recognizing the potential benefits these shards might offer his plant friends. With such a wealth of elemental energies at his disposal, he hoped to provide them with enhancements that would aid in their growth and abilities.
Emery began by distributing an assortment of tiny shards to the plant creatures, each one receiving a share tailored to its unique nature. As he observed the shards melding with his companions, he felt a sense of satisfaction. These gifts would not only benefit his allies but also strengthen their collective capabilities.
While the plant creatures absorbed their allotted shards, Emery focused his attention on the Light Shards before him. The 35 Light Shards held immense potential, and he was eager to harness their energy to further his own development. With each shard he absorbed, he could feel his connection to the light element deepening, and his understanding of its properties growing more profound.
Emery made efficient use of his six-hour window, beginning with an ambitious endeavor to absorb three Light Shards simultaneously. The radiant energies coursed through him, their brilliance illuminating the chamber.
As the shards merged with his essence, Emery sensed a surge in his Soul Force, his inner strength growing by a significant margin. It was a reassuring sign of progress that motivated him to continue his efforts.
The fruits of his labor became evident in the system notifications that followed:[Soul force has increased by 12 points]
[Successful comprehension of the Law of Light by 1%]
[Law of Light - 9 (10)%]
[Law Comprehension - 44% (45%)]
[Soul force 441(453)]
Emery couldn't help but smile as he observed his newfound mastery of the Law of Light inching closer to completion. His Soul Force had also grown substantially, a testament to his dedication and the potency of the Light Shards.
After the two-hour absorption process, Emery was both exhilarated and invigorated. The effects of the Light Shards were nothing short of extraordinary, and he could feel himself on the brink of a significant growth in consolidating his nature core.
Before delving further into the Light Shards, Emery turned his attention to his plant companions. Their progress and well-being were equally important, and he wanted to ensure they were benefiting from the shards he had provided.
The Chizpurs brothers seemed to struggle with the Plant Shards, unable to absorb them effectively. However, during the two-hour period, they managed to assimilate several Earth Shards and a few Light Shards.
Twik, on the other hand, exhibited an insatiable appetite for both the Light and Plant Shards. Emery decided to use his [Nature Grasp] ability on them, and the results were astonishing:
[Flora Colossi - Stage 8]
[Mythical Creature Level 45 (48)]
[Battle Power - 310 (318)]
Emery couldn't contain his excitement as he witnessed Twik's growth. The tiny shards had boosted Twik by a few levels, a feat that was no small achievement considering how challenging it was to enhance a mythical creature's power. Over the past two years of their companionship, Emery had managed to help Twik gain only 15 levels. The rapid progress was a testament to the potency of the shards and Emery's dedication to his plant friend's growth.
Emery observed the Chizpur brothers and noticed something intriguing.
[Chizpur Fang - Stage 6]
[Magical Creature - Level 120]
[Battle Power - 145]
Despite the gradual increase in spirit power from the shards, their stats remained stagnant. They had reached the pinnacle of their development as magical creatures:?However, there was a peculiar stirring within their cores, a sign that they might be on the brink of evolution.
Emery's excitement grew. He considered the possibility that they were evolving due to the shard infusion. To aid their transformation, he swiftly prepared his trusted recipe for a [Metamorphosis Potion] and handed each of them a piece of his medium-sized Earth Shards.
As Emery patiently awaited the transformation of the Chizpur brothers and continued his absorption of light shards, he handed one of the medium plant shards to Twik.
This time, Emery had five light shards with him, and his comprehension of the Law of Light gradually increased once again:
[You have successfully comprehend the law of light]
[Soul force has increased by 4 points]
[Soul force has increased by 4 points]
[Soul force has increased by 4 points]
[Soul force has increased by 3 points]
[Soul force has increased by 3 points]
[Successful comprehension of the Law of Light by 2%]
[Law of Light - 10 (12)%]
[Law Comprehension - 45% (47%)]
[Soul force 453(471)]
Emery couldn't help but smile as he felt the gradual expansion of his core. He was now very close to reaching a half-moon stage in the Law of Light and had nearly accumulated the spirit soul of a grand magus. The boost in his understanding of the light law was also enhancing his comprehension of nature, allowing him to experience his power growing.
As Emery finished absorbing the light shards, he witnessed an astonishing transformation taking place in the four stone creatures. They began to glow, and their spirit power surged at an unprecedented speed. Emery used his [Analyze] ability to closely observe the changes:
[Chizpur Fang is evolving to the next stage]
[Chizpur Fang - Stage 7]
[Legendary Creature - Level 30]
[Battle Power - 205]
All five Chizpur brothers were evolving into legendary creatures. Their previous bulky forms now became more streamlined, with their bodies narrowing down to two meters in height, resembling humanoid stone creatures.
"Ku ku ku ku!!" The brothers, unlike their previous exuberant cheers, appeared more composed this time as they tested their newfound strength.
The breakthrough of these creatures wasn't just an enhancement of their existing abilities; it signified a limit being surpassed. Emery couldn't help but hope that this also meant they would gain the ability to reproduce, just like the other new Chizpurs.
Moments later, Emery noticed that Twik had also finished absorbing the medium plant shard he had provided, and by using [Analyze], he could observe its new growth:
[Flora Colossi - Stage 8]
[Mythical Creature Level 48 (55)]
[Battle Power - 318 (335)]
The medium shard had provided a significant boost to Twik's power. Unlike the Chizpur brothers, Twik's increased strength meant he could actively assist Emery in battles. Without hesitation, Emery handed over the rest of the plant shards along with a few light shards for Twik to absorb.
Emery was hopeful that Twik could reach new heights and become strong enough to assist him effectively in battle.
With just one hour left before the next gate opened, Emery decided to use this time to check on his stats:
[Emery Ambrose]
[Battle power 435]
[Soul force 471]
[Law of Nature - 21%]
[Law of Light - 12%]
[Law of Space - 8%]
[Law of Gravity - 4%]
[Law of Devour - 4%]
[Law Comprehension - 47%]
Emery could sense that his Nature core was brimming with power. This situation reminded him of his damaged Primal Core. If only these shards could actually help him repair it.
His thoughts were interrupted when Jinkan approached him. The Nephilim princess had called upon the main team from all nine vaults, consisting of 50 magus, along with the Proxima and Albatross factions, for a briefing before they charged into the gate.
