[ 'pseudo-omni element crystal ore' (Grade one*) (Normal**)

Description: a purified corrupted elemental crystal that has lost all its corruption energy, thus it was degraded by 1 grade*.

**Any elemental user could use it regardless of his attribute, but there is a small chance of falling into an elemental disorder. ]

'This!'

[ An elemental crystal has been acquired, do you wish to absorb it? ]

"Yes."

I immediately agreed to test the effect of this miracle like crystal that was produced out from the most dangerous crystal in the lost realm…

[ Dual-element +0.05! ]

Thump!

In just a small time frame of 10 minutes, I observed as the system controlled my own mental energy to absorb the lightning and thunder elements only from the crystal which contained a myriad of different types of elements, and while the increase wasn't wasn't huge, it was shocking!

After the degradation of the crystal due to being purified, it became a grade one elemental crystal, one that contained almost all of the world elements, albeit in different amounts, it was a condensed piece of the atmosphere giving higher efficiency.

After researching and observing the amounts of points which are raised during my absorption, and from the knowledge I read, I knew that normal grade one crystals would normally be able to supply an amount similar to 0.2~0.5 element points depending on which rank was it supposed to be within the grade one.

However, due to this crystal's nature, it was already great being able to provide as much as 0.05 points as it didn't hold 1 element only, it meant that this was at least a peak rank grade one elemental crystal. After all, it was only a pseudo-omni crystal, unlike the legendary omni elemental crystals that would morph to produce whatever type of element the user had which meant it could be used to its full capacity…

The second shocking thing was the system's absorption ability, I tried mimicking the way my mental energy was used only to find out that I needed an hour to absorb one crystal and that was only when I concentrated on absorbing just a single element. Meanwhile, the system taking control allowed me to absorb all the benefits from the crystal in just 10 minutes without even requiring my concentration!

It was truly evident that the system's method were still superior, to the point that I was already doubting if this was just a freebie from the Virtual Domain or something that is much deeper…

`~~`~~`

Three hours later…..

Depending on the system's purification ability I have already purified all the crystals that I gained while still in shock, who could have thought that such a hideous menace would transform to the most efficient source of elements in the system's hand, fate truly worked in mysterious ways…

Not to mention that the number of the crystals I acquired was a shocking total of 166 crystals!

At this point I was having conflicted emotions, wanting the next gate to contain similar crystals, so I can easily gloss over the second stage without much effort, while also hoping that this was just an anomaly that won't happen again in fear that it would fall into the wrong hands...

'I know I just hit it big, but this a headache-inducing dilemma!'

Then again, there was no need to think too much about it, after all, me hoping for one thing of the two can't possibly influence how the world works, at least not on the larger scale of things.

It was already close to sunset, being merely 1 or two hours away, so it was time to head out, after all, my time was once again still limited.

I wore my jet black leather armor once again, before covering it with a dark robe similar to the executioners attire, before strapping a white mask with some red lightning strokes drawn on it to my face, this was how I planned to hide my identity for the time being. As for how I acquired this idea, it was after reading a book or two about the association during the month's time we were given, so I ended up buying some stuff and modifying it to my liking.

Putting that matter aside, I left the cave with a step, heading to my target gate as I grew somewhat excited….

After all…. It was time to power level!
