27th December,
It was almost 5 a.m. when Lily and Natalia finished their 20-hour training session on Insight Scroll.
In the end, Natalia broke through to S-rank Light elental mastery and Lily entered the new realm of darkness elental mastery.
The first thing they did was go to sleep because they hadn't slept for two days and there was plenty of ti before the deadline.
anwhile, Almond was in the world of a random phenonon dinsion produced from his second Insight Stone.
He did desire to acquire sand or vibration wave-related dinsions by chanting their words and praying as he used the Insight Stone.
And fortunately, this insight Stone wasn't completely wasted in that regard.
Almond was in a world of ruins. A destroyed world with every single structure made of strange colorful slick stones as if they were just materialization of Mana.
Their colors changed constantly as the entire world released myriad kinds of vibrations.
The mana stones, in particular, released vibrations that clashed against each other and shattered, their particles moving and affecting everything in the world, creating structures that vibrated, shattering other ruins, forming valleys and mountains, and even creating towns, and architecting cities when those vibrations responded to Almond.
Almond spent all his ti traveling around, feeling the vibrations, learning about them, and even coming to release vibrations to influence them randomly while trying to understand how everything in this dinsion was happening.
In the end, 24 hours passed by as Almond's eyes opened.
'Interesting…they say everything in the world has vibrations, natural objects, and machines, everything has a natural frequency, while even living being's cells vibrate in harmony all the ti.'
Almond crossed his arms and closed his eyes as he nodded to himself, 'Now I can say it clearly…Admiral Rudra's power of breaking everything is related to vibrations. His class may have a deep concept related to vibrations or frequencies, and he has unearthed his class and learned this himself at a good level, increasing his proficiency and mastery greatly.'
'Once his class breakthrough to Legendary rank…the sa rank as my specialized class, he will certainly beco more powerful as all of his class skills will upgrade to a new ceiling that he will explore and reach given enough ti.'
Almond released so Mana and controlled it over his palm, releasing vibrations from it, but to do that, he had to control the mana at a micro level.
His eyes observed the Mana, breaking its energy structure down with his All-Seeing Eyes, but despite being able to observe it, he couldn't control the Mana at that deep of a level.
And that's when he realized that Admiral Rudra had frigging reached that level.
'The footage I got yesterday that showed everything that happened on the 25th December…yeah, that demon also said that Admiral Rudra had achieved a high mastery in it worthy of his respect.'
'That may be why his efficiency of Mana is so crazy high. And he might have so kind of innate talent as well.'
Looking at the Mana he materialized into stone and tried to control it at its micro-structure to release vibrations, Almond knew this would take practice and intense focus paired with hard work.
'Well, this Insight Stone greatly helped understand vibrations, so I reckon I would have an easier ti when I use Elental Slab of Sand of Vibrant Waves,' Almond grinned.
He wanted to use it right now, but there was a schedule he had to attend that he made himself.
Almond got up and looked at Mira who was in ditation, her expression looked as if she was in an intense fight, her eyebrows sharp and her face determined.
Her aura was darkened and any wind that flowed around her turned black with a dark green hue.
'Haha, it looks like she is working hard for this advanced elent Vaylith. Very good.'
Almond didn't linger there any longer as he teleported in the hall.
Natalia and Lily were sleeping, and he also went to sleep. He saw Roken's ssage before sleeping and told him to et up with Julian. He didn't mind adding him to the party since he could protect everyone easily with his current level of combat power. And Roken had cleared the 5th Floor with the trial path with another party and could enter the 6th floor.
Shortly afterward, Mira also finished her training with excitent in her eyes as she made a breakthrough, but she didn't last long enough to move and directly fell asleep there on the Revelation Pavilion's mattress.
She had been training in only her Vaylith Elent for two days, and the power of Elental Imprint, paired with the affinity and determination she displayed indeed bore a tasty fruit for her as she reached A-rank mastery in Vaylith elent!
The other super rookies were also mostly focused on their Elental Imprint since they had exhausted their other resources long ago since most of them didn't have much to begin with.
Everyone progressed satisfactorily, while so went beyond their own expectations. Your journey continues at empire
27th December 11:59 p.m.
Two hours left until the end of the 4th Cycle. On 28th December at 2 a.m., the exit portals would open and remain open until 7 a.m.
Naturally, the whole party was rather perplexed because the supposed ti to enter the Labyrinth at first was 6 hours before the cycle's end so they could reach the Floor boss area in ti.
However, Almond delayed it, saying we would reach it easily without explaining.
As the party arrived at the Labyrinth gate, the watchn of GAA and League of Firefly keeping watch there in shifts were surprised to see a party of young Adventurers entering on the 4th Cycle.
"You all seem raring to enter now of all ti, eh? I know you young ones are rather talented as we've watched you in the Tournant, but you do know the number of monsters is four tis and their stats are 40% stronger compared to the first cycle, right?"
Almond chuckled and nodded, "Of course, we know.
The watchman of GAA laughed and said, "You are the party that discovered and completed the Heroic Challenges, right? We heard the rewards there are great, haha. I'm sure a party as strong as you won't have to fear anything about it."
"Yep," Natalia grinned. "We are strong."
"Alright, alright, go and take care of yourselves. Don't be reckless."
At that, the party entered the Labyrinth's 6th Floor, arriving in a vast grassland with living clouds and mists the entire floor spanned 600 kiloters in radius, but a 200-kiloter radius from the center was a whole new world, or rather, a ruined world, a civilization of a race called Fissaroo.
This 200-kiloter radius area had structures made of crystals and water, and the floor boss area was at the center, in the Prison of Cloudsoar.
"So, how are we going to get to the center in just two hours?" Kira blinked as she curiously asked.
Everyone else also looked at Almond, who faintly smiled with a carefree vibe.
"Safe to say, this will be the first use of our party rule. Whatever you see and listen now, must not be disclosed outside."
Everyone beca curious.
"These two bitches didn't even tell about it yet," Natalia snorted.
Only Lily knew about Almond's boost in space powers, and they had kept it suspense from even Natalia.
"Take out your maps," Almond said as he cleared his throat.
Everyone took out the map.
"Take note of the area—Ringing Snake Grassland. It's 15 kiloters away from here and one of the areas with many monsters. You all will kill monsters there and reach Gold level 60 for 30 stat points."
"We are killing monsters when we only have 2 hours until the deadline?!" Marcus said in a hoarse voice.
"We are wasting ti even now," Jian snorted.
And then, everyone saw Almond raise his hand before snapping his finger.
In the next second, everyone felt the atmosphere turning colder and the scenery changing as they found themselves amidst the wiggling grass butterflies releasing colorful mists ranging from Gold level 51 to Gold level 55, attacking everyone.
Everyone panicked and shouted in shock, but before they could do anything, Almond snapped his finger again.
The scenery changed again as they found themselves in an area with giants made of clouds with grass wrapped around them.
"Fuck."
"What's going on?!"
"Almond, you-"
Everyone vanished in the next second again.
When they appeared in a damp forest with multi-tailed vine monkeys, Almond teleported everyone once again and arrived on a cliff.
"Alright, we are here. The scenery you see ahead over a kiloter away is the Ringing Snake Grassland," Almond grinned. "We've crossed 15 kiloters."
"…"
"…"
"…"
