"This finished easier than expected," Erix grinned as he stood amidst the rubble of walls.
The others were also nearby, with destruction spread around in the valley.
"We'll be leaving now," Chihiro said as she smiled at Erix, Rin, and others. "Thanks for the Glory Points."
They didn't waste ti and entered the portal one by one. At last, the girl with a big bust, horns, and white tail—Celcie, who created Space Gun, looked at Erix and others as she said with a grin, "We'll call you all soon for a surprising thing after Break Ti."
"So it's better if you reach the peak in various stats and get as much power-up as you can."
"Noted," Erix nodded with a smile.
Celcie left and the portal closed.
Afterward, Erix and others sat down cross-legged and entered ditation.
"We'll upgrade our Throne Hall since we got enough Artisan Points after destroying this Throne Hall. On top of gaining a bonus, we get Artisan Points that they have gathered," Korin said as he inford everyone.
"Three of you killed one each, so I'm sure you unlocked Glory Leaderboard and Glory Shop," Korin continued as he looked at Erix, Rin, and Lilith. "But don't buy anything even if you see sothing cheap. Save the points."
"Alright."
"What is that feature?" Aria curiously asked.
"When you kill soone, you get Glory Points. There's a leaderboard regarding that, and the top 100 of that leaderboard also get a reward at the end," Nira explained.
"I see."
"So what's our next move?" Erix asked while looking at the map in his head that Korin had provided. "This nearest dot to our current location is just 21 kiloters away. Are we going there?"
"Indeed," Korin nodded. "That dot is a hidden challenge area. All of us will enter that challenge together. According to the ti we have before the Break Ti begins, we should be able to finish all remaining 6 spots I've marked."
"Out of those spots, Four are Challenge spots, two are Events spots, and the last is a Trial spot."
"Alright, let's do this," Erix grinned.
They were getting stronger quickly here, and that's all they wanted. After all, the process of getting stronger was arduous and fun, with them getting the desired reward for overcoming the difficulties.
After recovering, the group went to the challenge area together and finished it in 45 minutes, getting a Wish Reward each.
"We have two Wish Rewards, so we'll use both and then move to the next spot," Rin said as she turned to Korin, "That's fine, right?"
"No problem," Korin nodded. "Wish Reward takes hours or days depending on your wish, but it only takes 1 minute in reality. Use your Wish Rewards and get stronger."
"I got one, so I'll be using it," Korin said and vanished in the next second upon using his Wish Reward.
"I would recomnd you to increase your Soul Power next," Nira suggested. "Since you got sufficiently powerful and got upgrades, it's ti that you all change your Soul Affix. The one you will get this ti will be a real one and higher soul power ans higher boost."
"Of course, Aethir is also a priority, but reach the peak in Soul Power first because that's a priority here," Nira said as her expression turned somber. "If you die here, then you will really die unless your soul is strong enough to survive until Master Tenebria snatches it."
"Oh?" Lilith raised her eyebrows in surprise while others were confused.
"I'll explain later. Let's finish the Wish Rewards fast," Nira smiled.
As such, everyone quickly wrote in the Wish Reward that they wanted to increase their Soul Power.
But not just that.
"Everyone. Since we can write anything in Wish Reward, let's write that we want to increase our Soul Power fast and stronger without care for the difficulty," Erix said as he grinned ferociously. "I don't care if it hurts to any extent if I can get power. As long our will stands still, we'll cross it."
"As expected of my son," Kenshin laughed with gusto as he started writing. "Let's do this."
Nira wryly smiled upon seeing everyone changing their wish reward after Erix spoke.
"It's fine to do this, and I have done that too. However, the things we have to endure can sotis kill us, so give up when you sense that," Nira said with a serious expression. "Most importantly, you are going to increase your Soul Power, and just like how Body Refinent brings imnse pain, increasing Soul Power will also bring pain on top of suffering to your consciousness, your soul."
"And since you asked for basically the fastest and strongest way to get soul power regardless of difficulty, you all will suffer greatly for sure. Be careful."
Saira chuckled and said, "Well, we have a motto at the dojo. Only with great suffering, can you get great power."
"See you later," Kenshin grinned as he and Saira vanished as they activated their Wish Reward.
"Alright, let's do this, girls," Erix looked at Rin, Lilith, Lily, Aria, and Isabella with a loving smile. "I believe you all can overco whatever suffering, so that we may be together forever."
"We will be fine, Nira. This thirst won't stop because of so suffering," Rin's eyes glinted as she grinned.
"Well said," Lilith chuckled.
Aria giggled and nodded, "Humu!"
Isabela and Lily smiled and nodded at Nira.
"See you later."
Nira smiled and nodded.
In the next second, everyone vanished.
But Nira was still there.
"Now then, since I have ti, I should send Master Tenebria a ssage," Nira took out a unique golden-plated card.
[Warning: You are using an external item. Evaluating….]
Nira waited for two seconds before she heard another notification.
[Permission Granted. You may use this.]
[Tenebria: What happened? Did soone die?]
[Nira: No, not yet. They are progressing fast in stats and their skill stage is at an average of 7 and 8 stages right now.]
[Tenebria: I see. So what's the matter?]
[Nira: Did you know that Rin and Erix BOTH are Patron mbers?]
[Tenebria: What?! Which Patron Houses?]
[Nira: I didn't ask them about it. Anyway, Rin got the Heavenly Nimbus Cloud on her and there's a person here who also has it, but upgraded and can track her.]
[Tenebria: Do what you can about it. As for their Patron status, I'll have to make so moves here for that.]
[Nira: Yes. That's why I contacted you. I'll be cutting off now, Master Tenebria.]
[Tenebria: Good luck, and guide them well.]
[Nira: Yes.]
...
Under a beautiful glowing blue-green tree with faint golden wisps floating around sat Tenebria and Ayaka at a table.
"What happened?" Ayaka asked, curious. "Nira already used her Artifact to contact you, which ans soone in your group died, right?"
Tenebria chuckled, "Nope. Say, Ayaka. Do you have any Patron realm mbers under you?"
Ayaka rolled her eyes, "If I had, you would've known. Who doesn't want them?"
Tenebria blinked and broadly smiled, "I just got two."

"What?!" Ayaka stood up, her palms on the table as she bent forward with her deep cleavage fully exposed before Tenebria and her face just a few inches away from Tenebria's face.
"You're not lying!" Ayaka was shocked. "How?"
"You're getting too close," Tenebria slapped Ayaka's bust as her lons jiggled.
"As for the Patron Realm mbers. They are none other than Erix and Rin," Tenebria added with a smile and stood up. "Let's go, we'll have to do so work."
"Oh my god, I'm jealous now!" Ayaka pouted. "Give one of them."
Tenebria rolled her eyes. "Keep Dreaming."
