Chapter 131: Chapter 131

"Everyone, the chance to kill those boys has finally come. We must not waste it! Let’s kill the boys and return to the tribe to be in the company of the women! Gugi, take out the cloth and the dogs follow its scent." said one of the orcs riding the largest wolf. All the orcs were riding on the backs of wolves. The orc called Gugi took out the cloth and let the wolves sniff it but there was no scent.

"Let’s enter the fissure, I’m sure we’ll come across them in there."

The orcs also entered the fissure of a different location.

"Hahaha, boys, the time has come to collect the bounty on that boy’s head, the Brevity Young Master will even give us a bonus reward, hahaha!"

"Leader, all the people in high places come to you when they want dirty work to be done, hahaha!"

"You could call me the Trash Disposer, hahaha! Now finish the alcohol and let’s go!"

Fahm with his scholarly air looked alone close to the fissure. He looked like someone who was thinking about something very important. He sighed and shook his head, his scholarly air completely disappeared and was replaced by a savage and bloodthirsty intent. He was smiling like a madman with chaotic eyes.

"If you complicate things, complicate them to the extreme!" he said out loud and actually jumped down from the edge, completely ignoring the staircase.

Other students also went down the fissures, some Princes and Princesses of the Url Kingdom were followed by their soldiers while others who had great confidence in themselves moved solo. Alumni students who had reached 6 Star Mage level also left their private meditation rooms to partake in this festival.

Many people had gone down the stairs but as to how many of them would make it out alive, only time would tell...as it always does.

In the past few days, Evan’s group has come across many weak goblin groups that he doesn’t fight anymore and leaves it to the rest of the team to kill them. Their team isn’t good but with constant battles every few hours or so, it’s getting better and better.

Today, like all the other days, the group was moving through the maze and while walking, they actually came across a cave drilled on one of the mountain-like wall. From within the cave, sounds of goblins fighting could be heard. When the group approached the cave, the Mana concentration rose a bit which surprised the group and they approached until they were at the cave’s entrance.

"What’s going on? The Mana inside the cave is more concentrated than outside. Is there a Mana Vein inside the cave?"

Mana Veins are a locations where there’s Mana has accumulated in one place for a long time that below the earth, there is a immense number of Mana stones that release Mana into the air. Mana Veins are difficult to find because of sealing ores that block any Mana from leaking out.

"Let’s go!" said Evan entered the utterly dark cave. The others followed cautiously behind him but a few steps inside the cave and there were sounds of battle with goblins screaming in pain and agony. Soon, there was no sound. Adam conjured up a flame that lit up the cave and they walked towards the end of the cave where they found Evan seated cross legged and meditating.

There were no goblin corpses on sight, just their disgusting green blood on the cave walls and ground.

"This place is good for meditation, we’ll stay here for some time to raise our strength then leave. You’re free to stay here if you want and continue to meditate." said Evan with his eyes still closed.

The others sat cross legged and began meditating. This Mana was more concentrated and purer than even the Mana inside mana rooms, the two places just couldn’t compare. While meditating, the group realised that Evan was absorption Mana at a fast rate and a lot of it and his cycles took less time to complete.

’How is this possible? The Artefact Spirit said that the Mana Book I have is of a high grade that is extremely rare in the world. I absorb 80% Mana into my body and each cycle is completed every 40 minutes but Evan’s absorbs more Mana than me and also completes cycles faster. Was the Artefact Spirit lying to me?’ thought Adam and touched something under his clothes.

While Adam was thinking about the mysteries surrounding Evan, the latter was thinking about something else that was very important. Latest content publıshed on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁

’Earth Magic is the most difficult to use in this place. The only spell I can use is Bury which I used to bury the goblin corpses but even this basic Tier 1 Spell drained half of my Mana and I’m a 4 Star Mage. But this also represents an opportunity to further refine my Earth Spells. If I practice to the point where I can easily cast the spells with less consumption and difficulty, how strong will my spells be once I leave the Fissures?!’

Evan didn’t continue to waste time and immediately started practising. A one mere wide and deep hole would randomly appear on the ground then close. Evan would then replenish his Mana and repeat the process again.

Adam was very sensitive to Mana so he could feel that Evan was casting spells but didn’t know which one so he stopped meditating and looked around, he hadn’t extinguished the flame this whole time. Then, he saw the holes that would randomly open up and close.

’The Tier 1 Bury spell, why is Evan casting it again and again? Let’s see just why he’s doing it.’

Adam also cast the Bury spell and 80% of his Mana was consumed in casting it and he immediately absorbed Mana to replenish his energy.

’What the heck?! The most basic of spells almost drained me of all my Mana! But this is good, with this, I can increase my Mana capacity every time I replenish my completely empty Mana Heart!’ said Adam inwardly and began to copy Evan but he took it a step further and used all his Mana every time, leaving him very pale and on the verge of losing consciousness. Seeing this, Evan started to copy Adam’s actions and cast two Bury spells before replenishing his Mana.
