Chapter 909 - One Mind
"So what's the plan?" asked Annara with her hands folded together.
Ery didn't say anything. He just put both of his hands on the ground and once again cast [Mineralized Warrior]. Imdiately after, familiar humanoid figures erged from the ground one by one.
Ten. Twenty. Thirty.
A total of thirty Mineralized Warriors had been created by Ery. They all stood there, waiting for their orders. However, before anyone could comnt about this rather impressive sight, more figures erged from the ground.
Forty. Fifty. Sixty.
This ti, Ery managed to create 60 Mineralized Warriors in one go. This was indeed a big number, and obviously brought a surprise to the group. Apparently, they didn't expect him to be able to do such a thing.
Sixty humanoid figures, completely made of black-colored stone, stood together in an orderly line, ready to receive any order.
Thanks to the fact that he had cast the [Mineralized Warrior] spell several tis until now, Ery was getting used to the requirents of his Spirit Pool. Thus the reason for this spectacle, as the larger Spirit Pool the more summons he could create.
But because he had created 60 of this summon, he felt as if half of his Spirit Pool was no longer accessible until he dispelled the summon. Hence in a way, Ery would beco weaker - with less Spirit Pool capacity - as long as these Mineralized Warriors were active.
There was also a part when Ery needed to keep up the use of his Spirit Reading to occasionally give them simple orders here and there, in order to make them more effective in battle. All of this ant that the more summons he had, the harder it would be to control.
However, even with the large number of summons that had been created, Ery still looked like he was not done.
"All of you will go down with 30 of my summons each, and also this."
While the others were wondering what else was there, Ery opened his Spatial Space and imdiately 6 plant creatures ca out of it. It was Twik and the 5 Chizpur brothers.
A shrill cry rang out in the air.
"They are so CUTE!!!" Klea pounced on the huge one of the chubby creatures like a predator and hugged it tightly as if it would disappear in the next mont.
The other girl in the group, on the other hand, showed the very opposite reaction. Annara furrowed her brows and turned to Ery before saying, "Ery, this is a test that concerns our future; not the place to practice your summon spell and train your pets."
As if he expected such a reaction, Ery calmly replied, "I wanted to test sothing that might help us get more points in the long run. So, I'm asking you to bear with my actions for now. "
The furrows in her brows eased when she heard that. In the end, the red-haired girl just shrugged.
"Well… at least this ti it's our turn to destroy the boulder."
Ery, however, didn't say anything of consent. He smiled and said, "No, We will give the points to Squad 21 again. That way, it will be more beneficial to the platoon."
Hearing that, Annara cursed and was about to start complaining. Unfortunately, Klea quickly intervened with a smile.
"Well, you were the one who chose him as commander first. So here we are."
Annara's face turned dark. Unwilling to dishearten this teammate of his, Ery decided to give another assurance to appease her.
"Don't worry and just trust this once. We will get more points after."
A soft snort was the response he received. Smiling wryly, Ery turned his gaze to the 60 Mineralized Warriors, Twik and the Chizpur brothers, before saying, "Are you all ready?!"
"Kuang.. Kuang Ku Ku!!"
An energetic response ca from the Twik and Chizpur brothers, while the Mineralization Warriors gave no reaction for obvious reasons.
Ery chose Chiku to stay together with Klea and Twik. The rest were then separated into the two groups.
Now that the preparation had been settled, the two groups swiftly entered the entrance of the Abyss nest and parted their ways into two different tunnels.
anwhile, Ery sat in a lotus position on top of a rock in front of the entrance of the Abyss nest. His eyes were closed while the air around him was calm, indicating that he was concentrating.
On the other hand, seeing all his brothers enter the Abyss nest, the last of Chizpur brothers - Chiku - was not happy. The chubby creature looked dejected with its slightly hunched body and its gaze fixed on the dark entrance.
"Ku ku… ku.."
"Don't worry, Chiku. I have a different special for you."
Klea moved closer to Ery, as she was curious about what his plan was. A mont later, she watched as Chiku the chubby creature used its ability [Earth Burrows] and its figure completely disappeared into the ground.
As they went deeper, Ery needed to concentrate further in order to maximize his Spirit Reading.
Ever since he reached rank 9, Ery could feel the range that his Spirit Reading covered was doubled. However, he hadn't been practicing with it since his preparation for the duels and the mid-test, and only now that he really focused on it.
Other than Spirit Reading, Ery had another skill he prepared for this plan.
[One Mind]
The fact that the Fey's innate skill worked well with Twik and the Chizpur brothers was very important because now Ery could see what was happening to the two groups through the eyes of the 4 Chizpur brothers who accompanied them to the Abyss nest.
Surprisingly as he suspected, when he used [One Mind], Ery was able to have a better understanding of things around his plant creatures, even though they were separate and deep underground.
He once again proved this by concentrating on Chiku, who was currently digging away from him at high speed.
Ery was elated to find out that with [One Mind], he could utilize the plant creatures as a beacon of so sort to further expand the range of his Spirit Reading.
"This is amazing," Ery muttered as he was imrsed in the extraordinary sensation of his expanded Spirit Reading.
He continued to maintain his concentration and push the limit of his Spirit Reading with the help of the plant creatures. With Chiku's help, he discovered that the maximum range of [One Mind] for Spirit Reading to still be used effectively was around 300 miles.
This ant that through this thod, Ery's Spirit Reading was able to cover three to four tis its normal range.
At that mont, the Chizpur brothers suddenly turned into Ery's best recon unit, especially with their outstanding burrowing skills.
A few hours later, when the two groups had reached the main chamber of the Abyss nest, Ery ca down from the rock he was sitting, and casually cast [Spatial Gate].
Because of the presence of his plant creatures, he successfully sensed the area 20 miles deep underground. Together with Klea, he entered the swirling portal and arrived at the main chamber where Annara and the others were.
Just like before, 500 plus abyss creatures were waiting for them in the main chamber with half a dozen stage 4 standing near the runed boulder.
"Let's clear them up!"
It didn't take long for the six people to clean up all the Abyss creatures that were in the main chamber. In fact, the Abyss creatures could only put up a pointless struggle as they were slaughtered like chickens.
Knowing Ery would gave the final reward to Julian's squad again, Annara turned more aggressive in killing the stage 4 creatures, giving her 5000 points each.
Now that Ery has a better grasp on the Abyss Nest and also better understanding of his skill. He swiftly created another portal to return and et up with the other squads.
