633 Mountain of Crystals
“Once someone finishes the Basic Combat Training simulation with a Perfect Score, you can open the Intermediate and Advanced Combat Training Simulations for them as well. I will make sure that you have enough Essence to supply the Simulation rooms!” Dilan told the Queen’s Image, who nodded her head.
“I will create a timetable everyone can access. If someone doesn’t enter the simulation room at the appointed time, I will make sure that they will pay the fee of the simulation room for the time they wasted,” She said.
The Oracle’s Image was thinking for herself and decided to give Dilan a helping hand. He might not have asked for it but it was still quite helpful.
“That’s great, thanks…but give the latecomers the chance to excuse themselves if they were unable to come…like if they’re missing a leg, or when they have Diarrhea…”
Dilan’s comment caused some Demi Gods to frown deeply. How was missing a leg and having Diarrhea comparable?
Dilan didn’t mind their gazes and he was already thinking of a way to collect more Essence crystals. A little investment was nothing in comparison to the gains the Ascenders would make thanks to the Combat Training Simulations.
It might take a while for the investment to show its value but that was fine. He could save some Essence crystals for himself and use the Perfect Essence Cultivation technique to increase his strength rapidly. There was no need for him to absorb all the 112 Essence Crystals he had obtained, either way.
Only six of them would actually be of use as he could fill his Essence crystal and increase his strength slowly.
“I only need three Essence Crystals from the Blood Orc Warriors I’ve hunted. You can take the rest, Queen, if that’s your name,” Yvonne said, pouring more than ten thousand Essence Crystals out. A mountain formed in front of the Queen’s Image, but they were not yet done.
Ben gave his utmost to remove his storage ring from his right hand without moving his left arm before he threw it in the direction of Yvonne.
“Leave me three Essence crystals from the BLood Orc Champions and give the rest to the lady as well. It’s my application fee to join the Undying Group!” He joked with a grotesque smile on his lips.
Yvonne followed his order before she returned him the storage ring and three somewhat large Tier-4 Essence Crystals.
They were not of exceptional use for Demi Gods but small improvements were still better than none! Furthermore, the Blood Orc Champions had been quite powerful.
“Dilan, are you sure that you don’t want to remove three Essence Crystals from the Blood Orc Shamans and three from the Blood Orc Apostles? I am also willing to give the Queen my share, so you don’t have to feel burdened giving her everything. Your strength would make another leap just from the six Essence crystals…” Katja said while emptying out her storage ring from the gains she made during this trip, including the ‘useless’ Essence Crystals she hunted the 24 hours before their Orc settlement raid.
She smiled in Ben’s direction where she saw that the Berserker’s face had turned red. Katja stuck out her tongue for a moment and she gave him a wink before she turned around with a victory smile.
“I forgot to give my other Essence Crystals from earlier!” He shouted out loud but chaos had already descended. Every single member who had participated in the group hunting and the raid of the Blood Orc settlement.
Thus, the entire emergency room ended up overflowing with Essence crystals. Dilan held six Essence crystals in his arms, flabbergasted that everyone was willing to give up on their hard-earned rewards when the mountain of Essence crystals disappeared as a bright shining light devoured them all.
“This should be more than enough for a few hundred Basic Simulation rooms for two years,” The Oracle said monotonously, her focus on Dilan.
“Well, okay then…do your best to help us please…thanks…” Dilan responded after a while, and everyone else began to smile, enjoying the expression on his face.
He was flustered, for the first time in forever!
The sight was marvelous, even to the new members of the Undying group, Ben the Berserker, Katja the Archer, and Nicolas the Sorcerer!
As for the remaining independent Demi Gods, they were still inside the room but they couldn’t really understand anything, not anymore. They even started to question where left and right were…
Dilan absorbed the six Essence Crystals he held before and it was quite noticeable that his strength increased. Concealing one’s power immediately after absorbing Essence Crystals was possible but not when the increase was tremendous, which was the case for Dilan.
“He must have participated in the fight, otherwise, he wouldn’t have any contribution and would thus not receive any stats from absorbing the Essence crystals…” One of them said,
“Or he killed them all by himself,” Another Demi God added, not sure why he said this. It seemed impossible…
Yet, oddly enough, everything that had happened in the last few minutes looked wrong, so why not add a few more weird things?
And that was exactly what Dilan was planning to do right now.
“Ah, by the way, before I forget it again…I have an Essence Cultivation technique. It’s pretty hard to learn and the first stage of the technique might not feel very impressive, but it will be possible to absorb the Essences from the surrounding area other than Essences from the Essence crystals of monsters!”
Silence covered the emergency room once again, just for Dilan to add something else, this time giving everyone enough reason to desire to become stronger as quickly as possible.
“And I allow everyone who finishes Advanced Combat Training Simulation with a ‘Good’ grading to use this technique…and the higher-ups of the Undying Group!”
