Chapter 1239 - 495: Their Own Affairs
The orange light on the map representing the Curse Sword has dimmed; this Treasure has been acquired by Alka and the others.
After returning, Alka handed over the heap of demon corpses in space to the Vastva people for processing and selling.
Now, they have a detailed process here, and Alka doesn’t need to worry about it.
And the belongings of the Curse Sword Clan, as well as the urns. Alka packed them together and delivered them to the Demon Hunting Fortress, handing them over to Grefar.
For the first time, Grefar showed such a complex expression.
Alka did not disturb him, chatted briefly, then left.
Due to the rapid weakening of the front line demon attack, alliances between large forces began to redirect their troops to the rear of the walls.
Previously, because of the pressure from the front line demons, the entire World Scar was under significant military stress. There was hardly any manpower left to solve internal issues behind the walls, able only to be temporarily suppressed unless these issues grew too large.
Like the Ghost Mine Alka and the others dealt with before.
Starting to handle those internal issues and unfinished tasks behind the walls that were delayed due to insufficient manpower.
For example, clearing external forces that struggled to maintain even superficial friendly relations, while starting to deal broadly with the invading Abyssal creatures behind.
And dealing with many hidden threats like the Ghost Mine that require certain manpower.
All handled together.
After all, this is a rare opportunity, and must be seized.
Who knows when the demons will resume their former attacks?
As for the demons truly retreating, honestly, few people really believe it deep down.
After all, after facing demons for thousands of years, everyone has almost experienced various interactions during the interval.
While Alka and his team focused on other matters.
After acquiring the Curse Sword, resting for about a month, everyone then started to feel bored.
"Are there no other treasures for us to find?" Jason lay sunk into the couch, asking in boredom.
There were only a few people in the living room at that time.
Alka was concentrating on writing something.
On closer inspection, the notes recorded some information, with 11 numbers noted ahead.
"Did you get some information from the Church again?" Jason asked.
Alka nodded.
The tower information he had the Church collect had sent over the first wave during this period.
This collection had already taken about a year.
Most of the terms provided by Alka now had investigative information.
Locations of some Tower of Trial were clearly marked out, but there’s still a large portion of Tower of Trial with only vague area known.
The Church will continue to follow up.
Alka is very satisfied with this efficiency, after all, the Endless Sea is too vast; sometimes just transmitting information poses a major problem.
After roughly completing the writing process, Alka looked at Jason, who was staring at the ceiling in a daze.
"If you’re bored, train your skills in the Dream Realm."
After all, Pororo, Ulu Liwus, Chadite, they are all inside the Dream Realm.
"No treasure hunting then?"
"Simon and I have something important to handle recently, so we won’t be going treasure hunting for a long time," Alka said.
"What is it? I see you guys have been researching something with those Vastva people all day,"
Upon hearing Alka, Jason sat up quickly and moved to the seat beside Alka, curiously asking.
Alka continued writing but still replied: "Magic Gathering Stone, the efficiency for us is now completely insufficient."
Jason agreed, nodding strongly.
This experience was witnessed by all of them.
"Indeed, honestly, for me, it’s almost useless now.
The only slight usefulness is purifying magic power suitable for me, allowing me to feel less tired though still limited."
They had all progressed to the Sixth Stage.
At this stage, they’re practically walking magic gathering machines.
With a full seven or eight hundred spirals inside, these spirals combine and compress like a vortex, continuously absorbing and incorporating surrounding magic power.
Each stage of advancement grows exponentially.
The later stages become more exaggerated.
For example, when they just reached the Sixth Stage, their spirals counted to 730.
In the next stage, their spirals will break through the hundreds reaching thousands.
Becoming 2188.
Alka had seen the Holy Blade Saintess Anaphel during her Meditation.
When letting go in meditation, she was like a walking vortex, almost fully absorbing a part of the surrounding magic power into herself, with exceptional efficiency.
Thus, at the Demon-Defending Fortress, Alka actually noticed.
The Fortress was indeed drawing magic power continuously from high above, incorporating it into the range of the Fortress.
Otherwise, just the presence of strong practitioners stationed there, exchanging meditation daily, would be enough to drain the Fortress’s magic power, plunging it into a no-magic environment.
Considering how exaggerated the Seventh Stage is, imagining the Eighth Stage, or even the Ninth Stage practitioners during meditation is simply inconceivable.
