Cosmic Peak

Chapter 31 - Forming Spirit Core, Mass Panic-1



Aren and Luna were sitting crossed-legged as they gathered the spirit energy from their body towards the abdomen area and followed the instruction according to the knowledge they received.

They superimposed and condensed the spirit energy by feeling it and created a small ball of spirit energy.

'According to the information, once we finish this step, we have to infuse the energy of our paths into the condensed ball of spirit energy,' Thought Aren and Luna as they formed their spirit cores.

Aren controlled his Armalist force as he infused it inside the condensed orb of spirit energy, while Luna did the same as she infused her Deux Shi Particles into the orb of spirit energy.

Right after the infusion, both of them trembled for a moment as they felt strength coursing through their body and heard a voice inside their heads.

[ Congratulations! You have successfully formed your spirit core. The spirit core will be your secondary source of strength. ]

[ With the formation of spirit core, Your physical body has received a slight boost. Your strength, agility, and constitution increased by 2 points. Your spirit energy pool has been increased by 100.]

These two notifications were similar for both of them, but the next ones were different.

Luna saw the notification and was surprised.

[ The empowerment and formation of your spirit core are from the source of your path. Thus, you have awakened your affinity with the death and darkness element. ]

[ As you walk on your path, you will gradually raise the affinity of those elements. But you will have to comprehend them to increase them at that time. ]

Luna then saw another type of status popping up.

[Affinity]

->Death:- Level 1 affinity.

---->Understanding of element: 0%

->Darkness:- Level 1 affinity.

---->Understanding of element: 0%

She also saw additional things on her main status window.

" Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....,"

On the other hand, Aren started convulsing due to sudden pain.

"What happened, Aren?" Luna panicked as she turned towards Aren after hearing his scream.

"This....what should I do? What is happening to him?" Luna muttered as she watched Aren and didn't know what to do.

But after a few seconds, Aren stopped screaming, and as he stood up and wiped away the sweat from his face before sighing.

It seems that pain is going to be his best friend from now on. First, he got that ability that inflicts pain on him if he uses it, then he suffered intense pain because of Astral-X Eyeballs gear and now this.

"What happened to you, Aren? You looked like you were in a lot of pain," Luna asked with worry and curiosity in her voice.

Aren weakly smiled and shook his head before saying, "It's probably because of forming my spirit core."

After saying that, he looked at the notification and knew why he felt pain and felt stronger after that pain.

[ The empowerment and formation of your spirit core are from the source of your path. But since your path doesn't provide affinity with any element, you will have to acquire them by other means. ]

[ Although your spirit core doesn't provide any affinity, your spirit core provides another kind of benefit due to your path. This benefit is Armalist Force Enhancement. ]

[ Armalist Force Enhancement will upgrade as your make progress in your path. ]

<Armalist Force Enhancement>

Afterward, Aren looked at his status and sucked in a cold breath with a pleasant surprise in his eyes.

Aren also saw that the cost of his skills that uses spirit energy decreased by half, 'Probably due to that effect about increased spirit control. I do indeed feel that my control of spirit energy increased significantly.'

Seeing Aren's expression, Luna's curiosity increased as she asked, "What happened? What kind of affinity did you get?"

Aren shook his head and grinned towards Luna, "Unfortunately, I didn't get any affinity, but my meridians stat reached 100%."

" 100%...," Luna muttered before her eyes turned wide, "So your current spirit energy pool is ten thousand two hundred?"

"Hehehe, yep. I am going to use this initial advantage fully while it's relevant." Aren said with a wide smile.

"While It's relevant? Ohh...I see." Luna understood the meaning of Aren and nodded, "Indeed. Everyone will unlock their meridians anyway, but you unlocked early. You can spam your skills to kill powerful beasts and progress faster."

"Yep. But I suspect that there are other ways to unlock meridians because it seems unrealistic just to unlock all meridians by practicing skills. After all, many skills use similar meridians, and it will take a lot of time to get sufficient skills that use every meridian in our body," Aren said with a thoughtful expression.

Luna thought about it and nodded, "You are right. And I think that the way to unlock our meridians lies in finding advanced places...for instance, that small army of knights I saw seem to be from such advanced place."

Aren nodded in agreement, and just as he opened his mouth to speak, both of them heard a voice in their heads.

Not just two of them but every single person in Wild Expanse who was from earth heard a voice.

[ You will be sent out from Wild Expanse in three seconds to face the Destruction Giants on the Earth. Fight wisely, and don't die. ]

*GRRRRRR....*

At this time, all those patches of dark energy on earth had changed as many ten-meter-tall dark brown giants appeared with big clubs in their hands and started attacking wildly.

Mass panic ensued....
