BXBX NOVEL Chapter 249: Saraz Stream, Farming
"Lilith can find us anytime since she has her tracking and seals on us," Maleina indifferently said. "I'll wait here for them."
Reinala slumped her head on the table and sighed.
Suddenly, the duo sensed a familiar presence and turned to the inn's door.
"Get up. It's time to leave," Erix said as he sent two Nihilir Wisps toward them.
"Hey, isn't that Deathly Fist Erix?! His face matches."
Suddenly, someone recognized Erix in the inn, though he didn't pay any heed, and vanished from his spot once those Nihilir Wisps touched Reinala and Maleina before teleporting them.
The group took two and a half hours to reach Saraz Stream while the Royal-order hunters who went after Lily's clone already finished their business.
They killed her clone, thinking that they killed Lily.
A notification wouldn't sound when you kill someone in the abyss, though it sounded when one level up.
However, some of them still felt something weird in their intuition. Yet, they didn't bother investigating or acting further on this matter.
They didn't want to.
They were unnerved.
Three people in their group died, including their chief. They didn't want to bother with those people and invite more deaths even if they were tricked.
It was better to let go and finish the task.
…
At the extreme north region of the Inner domain was a huge crevice that was five hundred meters wide.
Erix, Rin, and Lily stood at the edge of that aperture and looked below.
Five hundred meters deep in that crevice was a stream of water going underground, wild and raging.
Saraz Stream.
This stream was the gateway to the border of the Inner Domain.
"I've never traveled into this," Reinala curiously said. "Looks fun."
"There will be monsters inside the water, so our farming will begin immediately," Lily turned to Rin and Erix. "We can have distance between us once we are inside this underground stream, but let's stay within each other's sensing range."
Rin and Erix nodded.
"Since it's water, there should be a huge amount of monsters inside, like a fish horde, hopefully," Erix grinned. "If I can kill a couple thousand of them during this stream journey, that would be great."
"Then let's dive in," Rin smiled, her eyes flickering with dark red glint before she jumped down without hesitation.
Reinala and Maleina jumped after that, along with Erix and Lily.
The group penetrated the raging stream before its powerful flow took them with it.
The underground stream water is not just normal water but naturally magically enchanted.
It also had a conceptual type of power that prevented anyone entering inside from emerging or swimming in reverse to its flow.
It would be futile even if an Empyrean-order hunter entered inside and used full power to swim reverse using various magic and whatever.
It was like a law that everyone must flow with the stream until it spews out at the domain's border into the Hallowed Sea that separated the Inner Domain and Core Domain.
Rin, Erix, and Lily were going forward inside the stream, letting it dictate their speed and pace. Maleina and Reinala were also near them, flowing with the stream's pace.
In the first few minutes, they didn't see any monsters, but when the size of the stream widened after several kilometers, the monsters started appearing.
All of the monsters were aquatic and had some strange connection with the stream because the monsters here were the only ones who could swim freely in the stream.
All monsters were Royal-order, none below or above this rank.
Erix took out two literal machine-gun-shaped items that he created. He tied them to his shoulder and started shooting with his will while also activating his gauntlets.
Rin also changed her Raibor Power Slime and Blade into various weapons to combo and find more ways to increase and refine her blade-forming arts and attacks.
Lily also started 'Weaving' her powers to create extraordinary effects and formations of her powers. She had awakened the 'Weave' concept and wanted to make more progress in it to reach its 2nd realm.
After all, one could only unleash a concept's true power once it reached 2nd realm.
Rin and Erix were also striving in that regard while fighting, intending to unravel their 'Chaos' concept.
Both of them had the same Chaos concept, but once they reached the 2nd realm, it would have a different effect and application for each, depending on their visions, thoughts, and practices.
Monsters were arriving often and getting killed in various ways by the trio while they rode to the stream to reach their destination.
Erix released a bombardment of punch projectiles that were spinning, trying a new way to increase their powers as they hit the horde of fish monsters that shot beady attacks from their mouths.
His attack clashed with theirs, destroyed them, proceeded forward, and killed the monsters.
Chugging a potion, Erix continued while he heard a level-up notification.
Rin was releasing slashes upon slashes with her Katana and a strange weapon that she had visualized to turn her Raibor Power Slime into it.
It was basically fifty-blades in cone shape and had a loose attachment to the handle.
However, when Rin speedily shook the weapon to and fro while it released Chronace Flow, she could quickly shape thousands of slashes from it with her 'Blade' concepts.
Her slashes would transform further with her 'Chaos' concept, increasing their power more along with Chronace-Flow's offensive form—Dissolution Flow!
On the other hand, Lily was creating various shaped projectiles, anything she imagined using the 'Weave' concept to weave together her energies and attacks into exotic formations, bringing out powerful effects and offense.
She mostly used Mist and Ice, rending all the most helpless against her attacks as they usually froze and shattered or entirely demolished at fast speed if she used more Mist aspects in her attacks.
Reinala approached Erix by slowing her speed and twerked her ass before him, "It is time, master."
Erix kicked her ass and said, "Just direct the monsters from you towards me from that direction. If you do it properly, I'll reward you."
"Tsk, fine. But I want five loads!"
"…"
Erix was thinking when Reinala would exhaust her use so he could kill her. He didn't like fucking and giving her pleasure, but she was most important for his source….for now.
