"Magic shops and dungeons, huh?" Liam did not know how one was related to the other, but the logic somewhat made sense? Either way, it was just a theory. He continued searching for either another magic shop or a dungeon, but unfortunately, neither of those came up in his hunt.

Instead, he ran into a portal after a few minutes. This was the purple portal back from the first wave of the apocalypse, and even though it had now been more than three weeks, this particular one had still not been cleared.

"Hmmm… This is good." Liam grinned and patted Luna, asking her to land in front of the huge portal.

Beasts were still pouring out of the giant gate. If they had been coming out constantly for the past three weeks, just how many beasts were now occupying this territory?

But this was good for him. It worked out in his favour. In fact, the more, the better. Liam quickly summoned his soul army to take care of the mess and to do some experience points farming.

From the army, he sent a part of them to rummage this place to see if he could find anything valuable in the vicinity, like the stone fruits they had run into.

Meanwhile, he also had a plan of his own.

Liam was no longer within the game under the constant surveillance of someone else, and there was no longer any need for him to tread lightly when it came to the stone tablet.

This was the ultimate fight for survival, so there was no holding back now. He stood in front of the portal and took out the stone tablet to see if he could actually absorb the energy from the portal.

He was also very curious about these portals. They were mysterious creations made of magic that was capable of acting as a gateway to almost an unlimited number of beasts.

But what exactly were they? How were they created, and who was conjuring this magic? What was this type of magic in the first place? Could it be something similar to the teleportation magic as these beasts were clearly teleported from somewhere else to here, the earth?

Liam knew that it was not possible to get answers to his question in a single night, but he wanted to take a step forward. So he decided to use the stone tablet to try and absorb this energy of the strange portal as his own.

Though he did not know what exactly was this type of magic, he knew that it had to be something strong and extraordinary to allow these many beasts to step foot on their planet.

The only question was would the stone tablet be able to take in this portal energy?

And he got the answer to this question almost immediately when the treasured stone slab started vibrating, and blackish purple dots slowly started unspooling from the portal and moving towards the stone tablet.

The beasts charging out of the portal immediately started targeting the stone tablet and Liam, but before any single thing could come near either of them, a fox snarled and started her work.

Mauling the weaklings left and right, she casually cleared every single beast in the vicinity, not letting anything disturb her master.

Liam's face twitched at the <1 experience point gained> notifications that were raining down on him. Not that this mattered. His complete focus was on the stone tablet, and the portal as the portal was slowly and steadily getting sucked into the stone tablet.

Weirdly, this was taking a lot more time than the mana vein. Did that mean this portal was a much richer source of energy when compared to that mana vein? What was so unique about this portal?

Liam silently observed the scene, and a few minutes later, the portal ended up fully collapsing. The thing disappeared in its entirety, and in its place, a crystal appeared, falling down onto the ground with a small clink.

Liam was about to pick up this crystal when a certain rabbit made her cameo appearance and dashed ahead to bring it for him.

She cutely handed him the crystal and disappeared into stardust with the same speed as she appeared, leaving both Liam and Luna in a daze.

"Thank you?" Liam chuckled wryly as he scratched his head. Among the things that he did not understand, this rabbit was definitely the first on the list.

Irrespectively, if the creature did indeed make an appearance, he knew that the crystal he was currently holding should be something very valuable.

Liam stored the crystal in his spatial artifact as he wondered about the other crystals he once had in his possession, like the dungeon crystal back in the game.

He did not have the items in his inventory with him at the moment, so he also did not have these dungeon crystals, but if he once again managed to procure these dungeon crystals, then would he be able to sell these in the shop?

What about this portal crystal? Would he also be able to sell this in one of the magic shops? How much would these crystals net?

Instead of a single mana core from the dungeon, if he exchanged the entire dungeon crystal, then surely he should be able to pay off his massive debt immediately?

As he considered this, another thought popped up in his mind. Instead of selling, perhaps he could even set up these dungeons again in another territory?

He was not sure if this was feasible or not, but if indeed such a thing was doable, then he could potentially set up a lot of training dungeons right in the guild's base, saving everyone a huge amount of time.

This would also become a very valuable resource for the future of the guild as it would instantly boost their training regimen.

Not just that, if he could also set up a safe zone along with this training zone within their base guild territory, then…
