At the same time, Cole face the other side and look at the surrounding spirit lotus mobs.
With a thought, a fan base appear on top of his hand. It was the Five Feathers Yin Fan.
Since he want to use the said fan as his offensive weapon, this will be the perfect time for him to test its capability.
Without thinking and hesitation, Cole summon his own special physiques' [Phoenix's True Feather].
Then, he insert the white feather with green edges on the very center of the fan.
The moment the feather enter the slot on the fan base, the whole fan were immediately sat ablaze with [Immortal True Phoenix Flame] and the damage of the weapon gradually decrease.
It was a surprise that his true feather can mend the damage of the weapon.
When he try to identify the reason why, it was actually because the fan base were made from wood. On its peak, Immortal Regal Phoenix beast can even terraform a whole hostile environment planet with just a flap of its wings. Mending a damage wood can even be considered as minor ability.
Cole smile. Since he intend to use the fan as his main offensive weapon, it was such a nice surprise that it'll recover while being slotted with his true feather. This means, as time passes by, the Five Feathers Yin Fan will gradually recover and might even surpass its current grade. In the end, its Monarch-Rank grade were greatly eclipse among all of his equipments.
Still, it was a great cover up for his other high-ranking treasure. Monarch-Rank might be a treasure in the whole Azure Territory but it was nothing compare to his Holy, Divine and True-Rank equipments.
With apparent smile, he hold the fan tightly and swing it towards the cluster of spirit lotus.
Since he has the intention to kill, the flame that activate was the Purity Flame. Since the said flame was transparent, the attack looks no different from a powerful gust of wind.
However, despite the lack of special effect, its power is not something to be trifle with. All the spirit lotus that are inside the attacks area of effect instantly explode into moths of light, leaving a generous amount of golden bubbles.
Cole already expected that it would be the outcome—instant killing the normal dungeon mobs. After all, despite his current low cultivation level, his current capability are even more powerful than some average Void Sensing-Stage cultivators.
Furthermore, his power were further augmented with Monarch-Rank weapon, not to say that his special flame is not something normal.
The side that Cole face were cleaned of mobs, even the water level of the lake affected reduced in volume.
"It looks like the mobs of [Normal] difficulty is not enough for me to train." He concluded as he look at the outcome of his attack.
"It's better to leave this to them. At the least, they can treat this as their training." He muttered as he look at his four pained party member.
With that in mind, he reminded Celia not to fully wipeout the spirit lotus mobs. In any case, according to his experience, the EXP given by this lotus mobs were very minimal that it was better than nothing.
Its better for them to be more serious on other dungeon difficulty where they could gain greater and better benefits.
But looking at the pained expression of the other four, it was apparent that the soul cleansing process will take some time if they fully depend on themselves.
Cole sigh. It looks like creating a considerable minions takes more effort, specially if he want them to grow fast.
Accepting the fact, Cole close his eyes and ethereal ancient bell appear out of void.
[Soul Mimicry], Bell's [Void Bell].
Ding~~ Ding~~
The moment the sound of bell rang, the expression of the four ease a lot. The move were very effective.
Not long after, Celia cull the number of spirit lotus mobs into considerable number and flew back beside Cole. She can't help but look unsatisfiedly at the four slave whose currently recieving treatment akin to young masters.
However, seeing her master doing something, Celia unwillingly control her parasitic medium and lend a helping hand, increasing the speed of soul cleansing while reducing the pain it brought.
With the several kinds of support and healing, the supposed to be long process were reduced to less than ten minutes.
It was the two Nascent Soul-Stage cultivator who recover first.
Their eyes and complexion look extremely tired and pale but the flash on greed on them were apparent too.
They can't deny that what just happen to them were something that rarely happen to them. And should they acquire the chance to, the price they have to pay were extremely heavy, even including their life. They have to compete with their life on the line.
But here, they've only arrived and they immediately stumble in this great encounter!
Furthermore, they were also protected in the time they were vulnerable!
Otherwise, with the pain they just experience, don't say about fighting back, they don't even have an ounce of energy to protect themselves!
Despite the unbearable pain they've experiencing, Mikoes and Fernando could instantly felt the improvement of the soul cleansing. Their perception greatly increasing and they can vaguely perceive things they can't before. Insights were suddenly flashing in their mind which greatly excite them. Although it was fleeting, it was a sign that their soul improved into another level that they almost had a sudden enlightenment.
Eventhough it fail, both of them knew that they only need to experience soul cleansing for several times and they're confident that they'll finally comprehend an appropriate mysterious [Concept] for them.
However, after they calm down, the two then finally remember that the one who protect them were practically their junior...
And supposedly, they, the old, should be the one that will provide benefits and protection, not the other way around.
Thinking of that, eventhough they greatly want to voice out their request to experience soul cleansing once again, they just focus on stabilizing their state.
...
Meanwhile, Cole gave the two who recover first a glance before he check all the loots dropped by dungeon mobs he just defeated.
The loots dropped by the killed monster will immediately enter the killers spatial storage, just like what happen to him. It looks like the dungeon had auto-harvest default setting. It was a great news since it will ensure fairness regarding the loots.
There were myriads of things dropped in the loots.
And most of them were the medicinal ingredients of every monster killed. For instance, there were several seeds of Pristine Lotus, petals and roots of Vampiric Count Lotus and many other. Without a doubt, this things are suitable for alchemy ingredients.
There were also some Skill Crystals, Potions that were originally present in the Magic World game and Potion Formula.
Among the Skill Crystals he acquired, there was one called [Strong Vitality] which probably dropped by Green Lotus. It was a passive skill that increase the maximum health by 20%. However, increasing vitality in the game means increase in HP but in real life, this skill will probably increase the natural lifespan too. Not only that, it will also increase the body's natural recovery speed.
All in all, the value of this single Skill Crystal is immeasurable because it will transform the whole physique of its learner to another level.
The default drop rate of loots in Magic World, as far as Cole remember, were abysmally low. Most of the time, the loots acquired by killed monsters were game currencies like bronze, silver and gold coins.
However, the loots in his spatial storage were rich in number. Should the Player of the virtual reality game saw this, it'll surprise them big-time.
As for the reason why this happen, it was without a doubt the work of Lucky's [Fate Guider]. His and his allies lucks increase drastically that a single dungeon mobs probably has 90% probability to drop a loot.
This high percentage means that every mobs were sure to drop a loot.
In addition to [Strong Vitality], he also acquire another Skill Crystals called [Leeches Million Teeth] and [Yellow Bronze Skin].
He also acquire a [Mind Stabilizing Potion] and its corresponding Pill Formula. In this matter, Cole believe that his luck explode and he acquire this certain potion that could help to alleviate the pain of soul cleansing.
Furthermore, [Mind Stabilizing Potion] has wide range of use. It will work on soul as long as it wasn't totally destroyed. As long as a [Potionist] master this formula, he'll have a constant source of this extremely rare soul potion.
Cole also loot several equipment and weapons.
One of the loot he particularly like was this one;
Pristine Spirit Lotus Sphere [Heaven-Rank] Type : Growth-type Defensive Equipment Affinity : Soul Potential : None Skills : Spirit Lotus Sphere of Protection, Pristine Lotus Spirit, Lotus of Recovery, Soul Growth
This certain equipment were the same as Pristine Lotus on its appearance, except for some its change of shape and some mysterious lines. The flower were still closed like it was still a bud, which is probably why it was called a sphere.
Its main use was for soul protection and its very first skill say so. After it binds to its owner, it will immediately enlosed the whole Sea of Consciousness and the very soul inside, protecting it fully inside.
On the other hand, its second skill protects the soul from negative soul debuffs like confusion and illusion, or anything that affects the spirit perception.
Its third skill was its two way recovery skill. If the equipment is damaged, it will automatically consume soul energy from the Sea of Consciousness to mend itself. And if the soul is damaged, the equipment will use its own structural origin energy to heal the soul even to the point of destroying itself.
Its last skill was the one that gave the equipment to grow. As long as it was nourished by its owner's soul and soul energy, it will grow as though the equipment itself were still a living medicinal plant.
Among its skills, this last one is the one that makes this equipment extremely precious and priceless.
This certain equipment will be used by either but Cole or his contracted beasts and spirits.
As for the other equipment and weapon drops, they don't manage to catch Cole's attention since they were mostly Earth and Sky-Rank weapons. It will be bound to be used as resources for his new territory.
After checking most of the loots, Cole then shift his attentions among the pile of Bronze, Silver and Gold Coins. As the original currency of the whole virtual reality game, the monetary coins were supposedly to be normal and precious loots.
However, since he's not playing the game exactly, this coins won't have any value to him anymore.
But after he check its information, Cole have to think again.
Gold Coin [Special] A currency to be used on dungeon shop that will open every after the success raid of the dungeon. Transferable but can not be summoned outside of the dungeon. [SYSTEM NOTE :: Coins can be converted to SP (System Points.) 0.01 SP for Bronze Coins, 1 SP for Silver Coins and 100 SP for Gold Coins.]
The surprise is the coins of the dungeon cam be converted with SP, which Cole have drained now.
Not only that, it can also be used by buying merchandise that will appear after clearing the dungeon.
He also look forward on that dungeon shop too because he think that only rare things will be sold there.
Thinking of the prospect, Cole can't help but be tempted to end this dungeon run and take a look at that dungeon shop and its possible merchandise.
However, since this was a rare chance and he won't know if he could help this four minions of his in the future, he decided to cherish this chance.
Besides, it won't be long before a massive responsibility fall in their shoulder. After all, beside being the main martial force of his future faction, this four will also become the leader of his army in the future, guide them and do this kind of thing.
Thinking of that, Cole felt that his effort today is extremely worthy.
