Chapter 307 - Nest Crystal (1/2)

Inside the cavern, the spiders were hatching at an incredible rate. When one egg had hatched, a spider would appear from it. The shell would almost immediately disintegrate after. Then in front of Ray's eyes, another one would start to form in its place.

It was an endless cycle of beasts all powered by the Nest crystal in the centre. Ray continued to use his fire blast as some type of flamethrower going left to right as he walked forward towards the crystal. The beasts were small in size and quickly engulfed in the powerful flames.

With the fire energy skill active, there was a red aura surrounding his body as he used his fire skills. The only problem was right now that the fire energy had taken up half of his mana and fire blast was draining it at an incredible rate.

He needed to take out the crystal fast. Running through the eggs and using his fireblast, he was able to reach the nest crystal with ease. Then while one hand was busy burning away the spiders, Ray touched the large crystal.

[A Nest Crystal has been found]

[Would you like to absorb?]

This was exactly what Ray was hoping for. He didn't really know what a Nest crystal was, compared to a beast crystal, but if it was able to provide the beasts with power to form their own crystals, there was the chance he could absorb it.

There was also the chance that he couldn't, it might have been too high a tier of crystal just like with the super tier one he had. If there were also tier of Nest crystals, then it would become a problem.

With no time to waste Ray immediately selected the yes option. Then in front of his eyes, the crystal slowly started to break down into small particles and floated about in the air towards himself.

As if attracted to Ray, the particles entered through his mouth and ears and at the same time refreshing energy could be felt. His mana points were being restored, and all his aches and pains from the battle were going away.

And finally, when the whole crystal had disappeared, another message had been received.

[Nest crystal successfully absorbed]

[20 points have been obtained]

[90/100 advanced tier points]

The message this time was slightly different from the messages before. Usually, when Ray would absorb a crystal, it would say a number of advanced tier points obtained, but this time it just said points. Did this mean that a Nest crystal was able to add points no matter what evolution stage he was at?

If this was the case, it was another way for Ray to get stronger. He had struggled to find specific tier beast in the wild, but now that he could also absorb Nest crystals, it made getting stronger easier.

The other thing that came as a surprise was that he had obtained twenty points instead of the standard maximum of ten. To be honest, Ray actually felt like this number was meant to be higher, considering the size of the crystal.

However, knowing that there were two more of these things waiting for him in the other rifts meant he would soon evolve.

As soon as the crystal has been absorbed, the eggs around him started to dissolve melting away like acid. The spiders that had already hatched were still going strong, but all it took was a few fireballs from Ray.

The crystal had also restored his mana points back up to their maximum, and he still had the fire energy buff along and along with it, the Dragons roar buff. The rift behind him was still open, and he decided to jump back out of it.

When Ray exited from the rift, the others were surprised to see him completely fine, in fact, he looked even better than when he had first gone into the thing.
