BXBX NOVEL Chapter 379: Drastic Changes
[If you fail to finish Atlantis in five days, Atlantis will be unleashed on Earth with extra force.]
[There will be one Prana Vein event every day from now on in order. Low-grade, Medium-grade, and High-grade.]
[Mystic Shop\'s 10th level is unlocked for those who have crossed the 20th Floor.]
While these announcements dropped, Erix and others had just subdued and killed the main powerhouses of the gathering.
A total of four clans and two groups of native humans were involved. They kept some alive as Erix planned to take them back to their respective clans and guilds and kill them there before putting an option to become subordinates of the Unfettered Kingdom.
"What\'s with these sudden changes?" Erix raised his eyebrows as he read the notification.
The others were also confused regarding these sudden notifications as they read them.
"Hmm, If something can suddenly cause Mystic Root to bring some changes, it means that a foreign entity is going to interfere with its work," Lilith fell into thought for a moment before she glanced at others. "It means that the Blue Maw Pirate Kingdom\'s force will be here soon."
"I reckon it\'s five days since Mystic Root gave us five days to finish the Atlantis," Rin narrowed her eyes.
"Let\'s finish this quickly then and start working to get stronger. Resources are gonna pour in the next five days," Sameira said.
…
Erix and the group went to the four clans that were thousands of kilometers apart and forced all of them to come under the Unfettered Kingdom and confiscate their resources and items.
With Lilith\'s presence, their Empyrean-order powerhouses didn\'t dare to do anything. After all, everyone treasured their life more than their treasures.
"None of them are above Tier-6 items," Isabella wryly smiled.
"We can just put these items on Treasure Pavilion. It\'s good if we add more items there so Tier-1 citizens can work harder to earn them," Aria said with a smile.
"Yeah, that\'s better," Erix nodded.
After finishing and arranging everything, it was time to begin the Atlantis Expedition.
The top rankers and regulars were eager and excited as they had already gathered in the Atlantis Hub and were waiting for the main group of Unfettered Kingdom.
"We\'ll be back in two hours then," Erix nodded at Lilith, Aria, Lily, and Maleina before he teleported away with Rin, Isabella, Sameira, and Kenshin.
The core members of the Unfettered Fate guild were also already at the Hub after the big announcements.
Erix and others arrived and saw hundreds of people in the hub, with many clans and their stalls at the entrance space.
"Before we go in, do you want to know why we got such sudden changes?" Erix asked as he walked to the central table and sat down with Rin, Isabella, Sameira, and Kenshin.
"Why?" Leishun curiously asked.
"Because the Mystic Root detected a foreign entity coming here," Rin smiled. "The Blue Maw Pirate Kingdom. I know many of you were skeptical, but these changes are because of the trouble that\'s on the way here."
"And it will land on our world in five days," Erix added. "Now without wasting more time, let\'s begin. We\'ll get a big boost in power once we begin the Expedition so I expect us to reach 40% overall progress in this one run."
"We\'ll destroy all the locations that we have marked in all six tribes—From 120k Power level to 180k Power level areas," Erix sharply said and stood up. "We will destroy them all in two hours."
Everyone shouted, creating a loud rumble in the Hub before Erix and the gang moved towards the first Tribe portal door and entered, followed by over five hundred people.
…
Meanwhile, the Blessed Island was covering the entirety of the expanded Sanctuary Area after it upgraded, so Lilith moved it slightly away.
After all, the Blessed Island\'s size expanded to a 15-kilometer radius, becoming a massive floating island with exotic biomes of elements and nature.
While Erix and others were in the Atlantis Expedition, Aria, Lilith, Lily, and Maleina were managing and arranging things on the Island.
First, Aria chose an area she felt was best to grow Alchemy ingredients and transformed it into a Specialized Area. Since this particular area on the Blessed Island had biomes of life and nature, it was a good place to grow general high-tier resources for Alchemy.
"It didn\'t change in appearance, but the atmosphere and energies in the air became so strong," Aria exclaimed in surprise. "Things will grow very fast here."
"Yep," Lilith smiled. "Since the Specialized Area only covers a 1.5-kilometer radius of land on the Island, let\'s level it properly and make the soil better to plant the seeds and resources."
"Yes!" Aria immediately. "I\'ll start from there."
Aria flew towards the tree-filled area and started cutting them. Maleina also started helping Aria.
"Lily, can you go and arrange all Slave Battalions and the Unfettered Battalions?" Lilith turned to Lily and said. "This Atlantis expedition will bring big progress, and if progressing in Atlanstis causes more resources to sprout on Earth, we\'ll have to collect them fast."
"Understood," Lily nodded and vanished like a mist.
…
Kraktor Tribe territory, Swamp Forest.
*Boom!*
This whole swamp forest had swampy water with strange magic properties that reduced everyone\'s vision and spirit sense range.
A big facility of the Kraktor tribe was here, with the requirement of 180k Power level or above as a warning to proceed ahead.
However, with a 100% boost in everyone\'s power, this became a piece of cake.
Erix and Rin were the embodiment of destruction. They had 185k and 187k Power Levels respectively, so with a 100% power boost as their stats and everything increased, their current Power Level was a whooping 360K+!!
At the boss area, Erix and Rin faced a giant black three-meter-tall humanoid with a hammerhead shark-like head but pitch black with glowing blue patterns on their body.
There were two of them, each holding a huge runic blade that matched their size. Their arms and muscles were most prominent among all the tribe as they boasted powerful physical progress, with their Bloodline\'s power also boosting them.
These were the Kraktor Tribe members.
Each of them had a 220k Power level, but unfortunately, their death was sealed today.
"Alright, you can make the attempt now," Rin grinned as she froze those two Kratons into her Chorance Field, slowing down Time within the field and removing offensive aspects to prevent injuring them.
"What\'s your current mastery of Time manipulation?" Erix curiously asked while looking at the two Kraktos.
"Haha, one second to one hour for those two," Rin laughed. "It will take one hour for their one-second act to finish."
"But I can\'t slow down Lilith," Rin pouted. "Her spirit force breaks my Time Field instantly."
Erix nodded while a majestic black longbow appeared with dark purple and dark silver patterns. "Well, she is way stronger, especially after her spirit power\'s transformation."
"Will that really work?" Rin curiously asked as she saw Erix pulling the bowstring without an arrow.
"It should, it must," Erix\'s eyes glinted, his aura flared, and his spirit force burst out. His eyes became still, locking those two Kraktors as his targets as he activated his Punch concept.
In the next second, Erix released the empty bowstring while two dark silver walls appeared behind both Kraktos.
\'Puncture Arrow.\'
Silently, two gaping holes appeared on both Kraktos\' bodies. They shimmered with dark purple flames and burned intensely, preventing them from recovering. It was as if those dark silver walls released something that made those holes when Erix released the bowstring on the other side.
"It works, but…" Rin rubbed her chin before she suddenly realized, "So you want to fill the flaw with a new concept and make it even more powerful with it?!
Erix nodded as he put away the bow and healed both Kraktos with his life power. "I need to be able to do without a bow and with all of my powers first before I decide what new concept I want."
"If I use my Punch concept on the Bow and activate it with those space walls, the Puncture I aim certainly happens just like now, but that\'s not going to help us against stronger opponents," Erix narrowed his eyes.
"I want to make this a deadly instant cast that can catch a stronger opponent off guard and cause a fatal injury. Since my physical prowess applied by the Punch concept can be emitted in energy form thanks to the Punch concept\'s 2nd realm power, this skill has a high potential."
Rin nodded as she smiled and wrapped her arms around Erix\'s neck, "I didn\'t think your Punch concept could go in this direction, but your idea is awesome, darling. Let\'s make it happen."
"Yep," Erix laughed and kissed her. "I\'ll practice this after returning. The expedition is going to end in a minute anyway."
"Mhm, let\'s return."

Everyone in the hub soon received notification of their Expedition\'s reward, making them overjoyed.
"We also got double rewards in this!"
"Let\'s fucking go! Double drops inside and double rewards here too!"
"Now we just need to hope we get some good items from the chests and orbs."
But everyone didn\'t stay in the Hub for long as Erix shouted, his voice reverberating, "Get back on the Blessed Island and do your exchanges there. Since we made a lot of progress this time, more resources should be spawning at the moment on various parts of the Earth."
"Once you are finished with the rewards opening, get ready to set out in the assigned groups. Complete the regular tasks and bring resources, and you\'ll be allowed on the Blessed Island," Erix finished speaking with a smile and left first while the others quickly followed and left the Atlantis Hub.
