"The rumors are not false," Lilith lightly laughed, "but they are not entirely true. The 3rd zone of Spada Valley is a completely separate system from the Kalaanx Abyss. It just connected there and warped the fundamental energies and structure of the valley."
Lilith leaned back on the sofa and narrowed her eyes, smiling, "Do you know what is there and what is inside of here that can even kill Empyrean-order hunters?"
The trio gulped. They wanted to know since no one had ever mentioned or described the scenery one would see after entering the 3rd zone. This knowledge was not present in the general public.
"What?" Reinala asked, gulping while her eyes showed curiosity.
She had heard bad rumors about the 3rd zone, so despite going to the 2nd zone of Spada Valley multiple times, she never dared to cross the last membrane.
"Eh, you also didn't tell me anything about it, lady Lilith," Lily was speechless. "I was pretty messed up after entering there, and my memories are also still affected."
"It's a dimension of dark spirits," Lilith said with a smile, "A pure spiritual dimension with spiritual entropy at its work in the closed system. But since it was a closed system, it connected to the Kaalanx Abyss after the Time and Evolution became stagnant, and it reached its limit there."
"But after attaching here and getting a way to output its energy and continue evolution, that dark spirit dimension started developing again, but…there is one thing inside that rules all over it. That thing is the reason why even Empyrean-order hunters die if they go to explore inside."
"Huh?" Lynia had an expression as if she couldn't understand much.
Lilith rolled her eyes, "I am not telling you to dumb idiots, so there is no need to listen or react. Go sit at the corner."
"I want to know. Please tell me in words I can understand," Reinala said with watery eyes. 'Humph, I'll act shameless if I have it, but I want to know.'
'I need more knowledge and need to get my shit together…' Reinala internally felt vexed. Her freedom was robbed, but she was still alive and didn't want to lose her life.
'I need to become smart and powerful!' thought the dumb dragon.
"No need," Lilith waved her hand, "If I begin explaining in ways you can understand, It will take a lot of time."
"Do you think Rin and Erix will benefit from what they saw, experienced, and are experiencing right now?" Lily curiously asked.

"They will," Lilith laughed. "Those two monsters created a new combat system for themselves, so whatever they are experiencing right now will definitely give them something."
"I also can't wait to know and witness what they develop in the future."
…
Inside Rat-king's mansion…
"Young lady Lynia is in their captive, but do you know the precise location?"
Belkan, the number 1 subordinate of Dark Sterling Valen. A peak Royal-order powerhouse wielding two advanced elements in the 4th realm and three of five primary elements in the 5th realm.
In terms of the number of elements and mastery, he was the same as Dark Sterling Valen himself but a bit lower than Lilith.
"I know the precise location," Rat-King smiled.
"What about that Lady dragon, Reinala?" a draconic man asked with a grunt.
"She is there too! Once you free her from her captives, I'm sure she will be willing to bear your children," Rat-King laughed with slyness oozing in his narrow eyes.
"Good. Humph, I'll forcefully make her bear it even if she doesn't want to," Dranuk snorted, his scaled nose oozing out flames.
"She will surely listen to you, hahaha."
Rat-king smiled and clapped his hands once before another rat-head man appeared beside him like a shadow.
"This is my subordinate. He will lead you to their location," Rat-king widely smiled, "I wish you good luck in your battle."
In a few seconds, the hall became empty.
Rat-king sat on his prime chair and took out something from his Hunter card before putting it on the table.
It was an exquisite square box.
He opened it, revealing a dark pink uneven shaped orb that pulsed, beating like a heart.
It had tiny glowing red-white strands attached to it and floating mystically.
'My lord…your descent is prepared. Let us go and witness it in the making.'
Rat king's eyes glinted red and faint pink, with a whirling pool spinning deep with them.
…
Rin and Erix were still sleeping even after ten hours since Lilith brought them back.
However, their eyes were closed, and they were sleeping peacefully. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Lilith soon entered the room and gently spread her spirit force towards them, stirring them awake.
The duo opened their eyes at the same time, their pupils containing a spiritual light with them.
"What was that, Lilith?" Erix got up and asked, his eyes shining.
"Yeah, those things…what were they?" Rin also threw a question, excitement visible in her eyes.
"They are beings of pure spirit," Lilith grinned. "They invaded your consciousness and started affecting it."
"But…" Lilith inspected the duo, her grin widening, "Try to wield your spirit force."
Rin and Erix felt an immediate shock but a pleasant one.
Their Spirit stat…whoopingly increased by roughly two hundred points!
"This…"
"You resisted those dark spirits with your willpower and defeated them. And if you defeat them, you get spiritual power," Lilith chuckled. "This is not something everyone can do, but I knew you would defeat them and benefit."
"But I don't think we did this on our own…" Erix muttered. "You did something, right?"
"I did, but it was to protect your soul from the main boss of that place," Lilith nodded with a smile. "If not, you two would have instantly died."
"Anyway, get up and get ready," Lilith waved her hand, showing them a faint black cloudy screen oozing out spiritual power.
The screen showed a few groups of people flying into the Spada Valley.
"It's time to make your marks, my savage cuties," Lilith chuckled. "The enemies are coming here; they are your final hurdle and challenge."
"Go and get them. I will observe and support only, "Lilith's eyes glinted as she added, "it's time to create waves that will spread far and wide."
