Chapter 324: Loot and Experience (2/2)

This ruined fortress is square-shaped. With thick walls around it, most of the space inside was occupied by a tower-like structure that was still closed, leaving only narrow ground where they were currently fighting. Because flying is prohibited, with our addition, the space became instantly crowded. If we're not careful, we could hit each other, or worse, the possibility of colliding with each other when dodging the giant statue's swing is high.

Either way, that's only their problem. While I acted like I'm pitching in my attacks by controlling my conjured Sea from my Spirit Pathway, I'm picking up every stones stealthily as I moved past the giant statue and arrived at where Udann was soloing a group of regular-sized statues.

Now that I'm this close, I noticed that the energy which leaked out from the statues he destroyed was gathering around him. However, it was only visible to those with a high sensitivity to Energy like someone with a high Energy Control.

Udann hasn't noticed it at all or even some of the Dafirae Tribe who still had a bit of that energy hovering above their heads.

It's not Dark Energy but most likely the Source Energy of the enemy world. With every swing of his glaive, a part of that gathered energy would be drawn to it which in turn would enhance the explosiveness of his attack and the Skills he used.

Apart from that, slowly but surely, the gathered energy was being absorbed by his body. That's a natural Absorption that would go straight to his Pathway's progress.

I see. This really feels like an RPG World. These mobs are dropping loot and every kill gives whoever killed it experience points in the form of that gathered energy.

If not for the clear indication by the system about their type of Source Energy, I would probably suspect that it's a System-type of World.

Well then, it's not flashy to kill one or two of them to check, right?

I glanced at the giant statue first and upon seeing its feet still hadn't crumbled from their barrage of skills, I ignored it and dashed towards Udann and the group of regular-sized statues.

Flash Draw!

In a blink of an eye, three of the damaged statues were cut into six pieces.

Upon seeing my arrival, Udann who's ignorant about why I made a move was enlivened. He nodded at me before kicking the statue trying to attack him from his rear.

”Thanks! I really need a helping hand. There's too many of them.”

”Don't sweat it, I'm just afraid you'll die against them, it would be hard to find a replacement for you.”

I replied coldly. My attention was on the three statues I destroyed after all. As the energy leaked out from their bodies, everything gathered towards me.

And through that, I confirmed one of my guesses. Kill Stealing is allowed!

”Hah. That's cold coming from you. I'm a Rank 2 now thanks to your skill. I will not easily die against these clay dolls.”

Domain and Valor and adding him as an Ally that could receive 50% of the Support Bonus made it possible for him to reach that point.

If I suddenly took those two buffs from him, this guy will surely be stomped by these statues.

Even after destroying more than five of them, this narrow space was filled by these statues. And from afar, I could see a third giant statue, chilling at a distance, with its back against the wall.

Since that giant statue and the other regular-sized statue around him were not moving, they probably have a certain range before we draw their aggro.

That's convenient, to say the least.

At this moment, the energy from the three statues has already gathered above me, and just like what's happening with Udann, it was being slowly absorbed by my body.

”Udann, my attacks were not as strong as yours. Let me take care of those about to crumble.”

”Got it!”

Thanks to this guy, I now see a bright future for my progress on my Mortal Pathway in this Dimensional Space.
