Everyone fought in the Ringing Snake Glassland area, which had a variety of snake-like monsters in high numbers, reaching roughly 1000 throughout the area, all of them ranging from Gold level 55 to 60.
The number was way higher than usual due to this being the 4th cycle.
Everyone except for Almond was scattered individually across the area, fighting alone, which was obviously dangerous.
However, whenever soone was about to be ganged up by monsters and about to get into danger, they would vanish from their spot and appear a few ters away.
Because a few hundred ters above at the center, Almond floated leisurely, watching everyone, assessing their combat power, and simply teleporting them if they were about to be in danger as monsters were more and also had higher stats while none of them were wearing any armor because Almond hadn't made them yet, and they had given away what they already acquired from rewards.
At first, they were in disbelief as to how they were going to clear the 6th Floor without items, but now, everyone was excitedly fighting the monsters with their full power, showcasing their improved combat power to Almond.
'Not bad, everyone greatly improved. The rewards from Heroic Challenges are indeed life-changing.'
Everyone's elental mastery had increased, their skills were refined, and most of them had done more combat training with their newfound improvents as their combat ability was a notch higher.
The people around them were most surprised by their training because these super rookies had improved more than ever in everything in such a short ti, and all of them were also hyped in their training like never before.
Everyone leveled up quickly as leveling was fast in higher Labyrinth Cycles as Adventurers gained more experience.
The drops were also frequent as Almond instantly collected them by directly putting them inside his storage ring.
Since everything within his domain was his range of applications, it was as if he touching the items without touching them physically.
Almond let them fight for a full ten minutes even though everyone had reached level 60 before that.
The max level of this Floor reached Gold 70, so Almond made the next stop directly in the inner area, crossing 250 kiloters in five minutes.
The mana consumption was scarily low when it ca to using space-related powers.
His Innate Talent Heir of Oblivion already halved consumption of Mana in everything, while doubling his recovery speed.
On top of that, his natural Mana recovery speed is in the equation from his classes and his 200 Mana stats.
As such, Almond didn't run out of Mana despite crossing 250 kiloters thanks to his faster recovery and less consumption.
The party killed monsters in the new area with monsters ranging from gold level 61 to 65 for ten minutes.
And then spent another ten minutes 200 kiloters away, at the area called Cetery of Ghastly Mists—Monster level ranging from gold level 66 to 70 as this area was near the floor boss spawning area.
While everyone was fighting in the Cetery of Ghastly Mists, Almond sent his Spirit Wraiths to kill the special bosses and acquire the special items drops for floor boss summoning.
Although Almond was away from his Spirit Wraiths since they had to go out of his domain's range, which was a 4-kiloter radius, Almond could sense their direction, so he would teleport there quickly and grab the boss's spirits and items before returning.
Almond sent all spirits into Spirit Forge Factory except for the boss-type ones.
He was also cooking a different type of Spirit Nuke since he deed it unnecessary to use for a long while with his current combat power.
As such, in each area where everyone killed monsters, he specifically collected particular types of spirits as if to create an art of explosion with a clear goal, sending only them into Spirit Nuke's 100 spirit slots.
According to Almond's recent inspection of his primary class's source and skill runes of this class's skills, Spirit Nuke could be more than just a random explosion of 100 spirits condensed. This was the reason why he was experinting with creating his next Spirit Nuke.
For that, he also randomly wasted 100 spirits and released two arranged Spirit Nukes to observe their effects.
Everyone was confused hearing the loud explosions, but Almond just told them he was experinting.
He didn't waste 100 more spirits on the third one as he had a fair idea of where to proceed, and started cooking a proper prototype, but he had no more spirits as it was ti for the main event.
But there were still over fifty minutes left until the cycle ended, Almond told everyone to rest for twenty minutes while he was racking his brain on a different matter that was of utmost importance.
'The next three days, I will have to clear as many S-rank dungeons as possible…' Almond leaned at the tree's trunk that Sylvia had transford into, his expression bitter and amused both, 'I told Admiral that I had a way to convince the parties who had these S-rank dungeon doors in their territories, but the fact is I haven't thought of anything.'
He felt a slight headache thinking about it and he had to co up with sothing pretty fast.
'How can I convince them to do dungeon raid with without revealing too much about , prevent myself from losing out in the deals, while also satisfying them?' Continue your adventure with empire
'Admiral Rudra now strictly told not to reveal too much about because of that demon Lerkeion…From what I saw, I stand no chance against him alone, and these rats have strange ans of escaping and appearing, so I can't put myself in such an obvious danger,' Almond's eyes glinted. 'And most importantly, the Bloodlines.'
Almond already knew about Bloodlines, and it was a pretty good advantage to bolster the force of his and the people he trusted. Only he knew about the 11th Floor's best locations. The floors from 11th and onwards, which were considered the next phase of floors, had so very good mystical locations that gave quests and good rewards, not to ntion the secret challenge locations of those floors, just like the one that gave rewards on the sa level as Synthesis Forge of Eternal Power.
'It's ti to tell Admiral about my secret so I can tell him so important information regarding Bloodlines,' Almond's eyes flashed with an ambitious glean. 'The sanctuary area, the battlefield…if I want the future to be on my side, I'll have to make moves to change this ga board and beco a king of it.'
