Chapter 1125: Chapter 387: Shockwave
“Quick! Speed up!”
In the sky, two teams totaling twenty-four Griffin Knights swooped down towards the southeast corner of Tafulin Town.
Meanwhile, more personnel on the ground swiftly divided into two teams as they approached the town, like large pincers encircling the entire battle area.
Judging by their execution, this troop was undoubtedly elite.
The first to notice something unexpected were, naturally, the Griffin Knights in mid-air with their excellent view.
From afar, they saw the designated area ahead was in ruins, with various large and small pits and scattered massive stones. More than ten houses on the edge of the town were reduced to rubble and ruins.
On the ground, the originally dense shrubs and grass and other surface vegetation were completely destroyed.
Looking down from mid-air, it seemed like a piece of sand emerged abruptly on the vast green land, much like a bald patch amidst lush hair.
A short battle had changed the state of the environment, turning lush greenery into a scene resembling a desert.
It was clear how intense the battle must have been in that short minute!
“Looks like the opponents have already fled!” exclaimed a Griffin Knight, after quickly scanning the area, not seeing any personnel in court official uniforms.
“No, someone seems to be there!” another pointed to a deep trench overground.
The burly man commanding the Griffin Knights squinted his eyes, nodded, and said, “Come, one group lands with me; the other group branches out to survey and secure the perimeter.”
“Yes, Lord Edwards!”
Immediately, the burly man controlled his Griffin, leading a team to descend.
At this moment, Rein had already transformed back into human form. Holding a bulging waist bag, he examined it, eyes gleaming with joy.
Before coming here, he hadn’t anticipated he would come across such a treasure again.
Inside the waist bag was a pure green Crystal Stone, thumb-sized, with a strand of black intertwined in it.
Judging by its aura, Rein felt a familiar sensation, as though he had encountered this somewhere before.
Thinking for a moment, Rein appeared enlightened.
He recalled how similar this aura was to the pale golden sapling he obtained after defeating the Blood Flesh Tree Spirit.
“Could this be a Divine Power Crystal worshipped by some deity from the ancient Mother Tree Sect?”
“But how did Harold possess this?”
Instantly, Rein considered the rumors about Harold, guessing if Harold acquired this during the Imperial City battle treasure-hunting.
Actually, Rein’s guess was quite close to the truth.
Harold intended to use this Divine Power Crystal after advancing to Fourth Level Dawn Wizard.
Normally, without reaching Epic level prowess, it’s impossible to resist the residual imprint of the deity during the absorption of the Divine Power Crystal.
Forced absorption would only result in influence by the deity’s aura; struggling against it could render one a fool, weak will may lead to transformation into a follower, with only a slight chance of remaining unharmed.
Rein, thanks to the system’s assistance to purify the deity’s imprint, was able to absorb the Divine Power Crystal even at Second Level Liquidization stage.
Absorbing the Divine Power Crystal at this stage undoubtedly yields astonishing results.
Considering the imminent reinforcements Lieutenant General Tatia mentioned, Rein decided to grasp the green Crystal Stone and absorb the Divine Power Crystal before others arrived.
At this moment, a system prompt sounded:
[*Ding! Detecting Divine Power Crystal capable of enhancing spiritual power liquidation level, expedite absorption? (Note: System absorption purifies impurities and can absorb fully in one go.)*]
Rein immediately chose ‘Yes!’
System absorption has purification and impurity elimination effects, so Rein felt no concern about side effects.
Instantly, the green Crystal Stone disappeared from Rein’s palm, and in its place, a wisp of green smoke with black strands appeared from his hand.
Simultaneously, Rein heard a distant, piercing shriek with great penetration power.
Having absorbed the Divine Power Crystal from Nether Sea Goddess Hela previously, Rein wasn’t too surprised.
Like before, Rein quickly sensed the silvery mist in his mental sea rapidly decreasing, while the silvery liquid increased rapidly.
When transformation concluded, the silvery mist in the mental sea further diminished, while the silver liquid overtook and dominated.
Rein glanced at the system panel:
Spirit: 88 (Liquidation 72%)
“Previously 43%, now it’s 72%? Increased by a full 29%!” Rein knew it would improve significantly but remained astonished by the extraordinary effectiveness of the Divine Power Crystal.
Recently, due to the Steel Heart Advanced Meditation Method’s Second Layer, increased by 1%, from 42% to 43%.
Yet unexpectedly, today it directly advanced to late stage Second Level Liquidization Wizard.
Such an enhancement level was unparalleled!
Even the most gifted wizards would spend years enduring the Second Level Liquidization stage; ordinary Second Level Wizards would measure progress by decades.
