1086 Absorbing Bones
This time I selected places over the ocean and distant continents before I released things stored for so long inside my inventory; the high grade monster dens!
Yes, I changed my plans and decided to use this world here to breed lots of higher and stronger grades of monsters. Instead of crumbling things over that much smaller upper layer, it was better to use such a spacious world here for that.
I used hundreds of monster dens of all types. Aquatic, flying, and ground monster dens were all used and scattered along the distant continents and oceans.
Like this, this place would turn truly into a real world. Only it lacked races including my humans. And that was going to be solved quite soon.
Yet first, I needed to make a trip to replenish my shortage of bones.
And for that, I had a trump card that I never used before.
I instantly opened a portal and went through it. The next moment the scenery around me changed and I returned back to the entrance of this pocket world.
Passing there let me get out. Then I used the staff again and went towards one direction; the first training ground.
The fight there kept going on for a long time already. The number of dead monsters killed on the hands of my people alone was simply too much to imagine.
I never tried before to take bones from their bodies. And after so much fight, most of the monsters had their bodies buried underneath ground or in the depths of the water.
Trying to dig out all these corpses to claim bones from was a headache. Just imagining such trouble made me drop the idea instantly.
However this time things were different. I got the turbo mode of my bone absorption ability. And I had a way to take many bones without the need to do anything.
As I arrived there, I found a monster outbreak happening. The entire place was filled with deadly fights that spanned over till horizon.
I simply wasn’t in the mood to wait for my forces to clear all this. So I simply summoned my soulers and let them handle a certain area.
In a few minutes, a large space was created and was devoid of a single monster. No matter how hard these monsters tried, no matter how many of them came my way, they were all falling on the ground dead after taking a single flash from my soulers.
This was the might of my soulers. Even if most of them had zero stat points, they were still beasts compared to the monsters here.
Recalling stat points gave me a little headache. I was sure that my forces back at Earth must have found a way to replenish their missed stats.
However this was just for those on Earth. For my warriors, it was another story.
They could only get stat points from me. And I didn’t have even enough to satisfy part of their needs.
So in the end I had to ask this from Silverlining. I already asked and he didn’t yet deliver.
I got sucked into many things and completely forgot. So before I’d even go to absorb a single bone, I sent a message over to him, reminding him of our old deal.
[I already got tons of them. You just need to pay and get them]
[Send me the price, I’ll pay now] I wanted to get rid of such small matters, the ones that’d easily be forgotten and missed by me.
In the course of such intense events, few things were dropped and missed from me. It was my fault indeed, but I got too much to think about.
He sent me the price. It was high as expected. For the stats he prepared for me, I got to pay him one million silver grade bones.
It was too much for such a cheap gadget, but I knew he wasn’t cheating on me. He must have prepared a really astronomical amount of these stats.
I paid and never got time to check what I got. I just closed the chat after telling him that the place of delivery would change in the upcoming few days. And he didn’t show any objection to that.
After that I placed my right hand at the ground, and activated the bone absorption ability.
Flares of light kept flashing from the ground to my right arm. It looked like an endless stream of light dots, racing up towards me with no end.
As expected, I could stand idle and absorb such bone treasure that laid down in this place all this time.
The only depressing thing was that these colours were mostly green, blue, and silver. There were few golden dots, and rarely higher graded colours might appear from time to time.
Cleaning this place out took me a couple of hours of standing still. The soulers kept the area safe. And once I was done, I called them back, rose high in the air using my chariot, before heading towards another region.
My ability was limited in terms of distance. So I had to stop at hundreds of places before I cleaned this entire place up.
This took me almost one week. However I wasn’t dejected. The gains were enough to secure my needs for over a year.
After getting it done, I jumped over the second training ground and did the same. Although these grounds didn’t work for so long, they got lots of bones as well.
After another week, I finally returned back to the pocket world with a wide grin on my face.
If my calculations were correct, then what I got would satisfy my needs for almost a year and half.
During this time, I’d come back again and recollect more bones. And my gains wouldn’t be any less than this.
Once I returned back, I spotted the large number of forces that had passed the cultivation ritual. They stood in hundreds of thousands, having a strong air and pressure around them.
