CHAPTER 130: CHAPTER 130: CRYSTAL STONE IN THE UNDERGROUND SPACE

As the shaking of the entire dungeon ceased.

The mechanical head in the sky silently observed the dungeon’s sky, perhaps for the last time.

It lowered its head to glance at Kane and the others.

"My name is Kobolcut, perhaps we will meet again."

Even with a synthesized voice, extreme sorrow could be felt in its words.

Its world perished, under its own hands.

Then, just like the monsters in the dungeon dying, it turned into a patch of ash and disappeared.

A shiny object floated towards Kane from where it vanished.

He reached out to catch the object.

Gazing at this final item left by the mechanical head.

This was exactly the last decoding item Kane needed, a red crystalline form.

So, was this mechanical head the last remaining life of the red mechanical race?

No wonder after clearing the entire dungeon, no red mechanical race was seen.

He picked up the red crystalline in his hand and began to evaluate it.

[Kinetic Crystal - Red]

[Magic Materials]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: Medium increase in Magic Stone Energy]

[Description: Mechanical wisdom race, mimicking their most fundamental energy, constructing the Energy Core, possessing extremely powerful energy.]

(Secret Intelligence Department: The decoding tools are complete. Gather them and follow the instructions to reveal the hidden secrets.)

Examining the information, sure enough, it was the last decoding tool.

The final decoding information was also displayed below.

But there’s no rush yet, the rewards from the dungeon boss’s death haven’t been collected by everyone.

A surge of energy spread from the place where the dungeon boss died, charging into everyone’s body.

This was the reward for clearing the dungeon, enhancing their magic power.

Yet the magic items dropped by the boss haven’t been collected.

Just as Kane wanted to search for them, Yu Yu already slid over, holding two items.

He patted Yu Yu’s head.

"Thank you."

"Heehee."

He took the items from Yu Yu’s mechanical claws.

One seemed like a polluted mechanical core, larger than the ones obtained before, covered with blood-red patterns.

The other resembled a chip-like object, about the size of a palm, densely engraved with square symbols Kane couldn’t understand.

He identified the core first.

[Polluted Ultimate Core]

[Magic Materials]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: Substantial increase in Magic Stone Energy]

[Description: Inside the core remain traces of resisting pollution for thousands of years, ultimately surrendering the fight.]

A significant amount of charging magic materials, equivalent to a new skill, hard currency.

Next, he checked out the other chip.

[Data Chip]

[Consumable]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: Gains Mechanical Structure Knowledge upon use]

[Description: Mechanical life form Sikub designed mechanical blueprints in his youth, along with some practical construction knowledge.]

Upon reading the description, Kane directly used the item.

Various data blueprints and mechanical structure knowledge instantly integrated into his mind, Kane swiftly placed Fast Reading into the Skill Grid.

His brain quickly processed this knowledge, categorizing and storing it.

Kane skimmed through the knowledge and schematics; they were the higher-level information he needed.

It seemed he had more to learn now.

He then stored the two magic items into the Space Items.

He looked at the red crystal in his hand.

Kane retrieved two other colored crystalline forms from the Space Equipment and placed them together.

Everyone watched Kane’s actions.

As the red, yellow, and blue crystals collided.

They slowly floated into the air, then drifted towards the ruins.

Everyone immediately followed them.

The tri-colored crystals slowly floated ahead.

They then entered a building where the previous dungeon boss was.

Sensing something, the floor in the building split from both sides, revealing a long metal corridor.

This corridor was approximately eight to nine meters wide.

Sufficiently spacious for Kreya to enter.

Following the tri-colored crystals, they delved into the underground space.

The walls of the corridor continued to reflect metallic sheen.

Upon reaching the bottom of the tunnel, a vast spacious area emerged, with a square stone pedestal rising slowly from the ground.

The tri-colored crystals remained placed upon it.

The stone pedestal slowly cracked open, exposing the item at its center.

It was a radiant crystal stone.

Kane slowly walked forward, grasped the crystal stone, and began an evaluation.

[Source of Machinery]

[Magic Materials]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: Use to gain an extra skill grid - Copper]

[Description: Birth source of mechanical life forms, cosmic creatures left this life core.]

Kane’s hand trembled in excitement as he held the crystal stone.

He looked up at everyone.

"I don’t fancy these shiny stones."

"Nor do I."

"No need."

"Lilulu already has such a thing."

The warmth of the heart intensified, planting roots deeply within.

He opened his mouth, but all words turned into one.

"Thank you."

Everyone gave Kane a warm smile without uttering more.

He held the crystal stone and chose to use it.

Kane could feel his Skill Grid expanding, as if his soul was strengthened.

He summoned the [Book of Adventure]

Seeing his Skill Grid’s page, sure enough, another copper frame appeared below the existing three skill grids.

He placed the [Eagle Eye] replaced from the previous battle, sensing an odd change in his eyes, ready for use.

To Kane, an additional Skill Grid was far beyond a mere slight enhancement in combat capability.

Even though he could only place Copper Skills, it was still a significant boost for him now.

"Now that there’s nothing left unchecked in the dungeon, we have officially cleared it."

"Let’s return."

"Mm."

Everyone exited the ruins, choosing to return.

The mist in the sky cascaded like a waterfall, engulfing the entire dungeon like roaring waves.

Kane and others stood still, waiting for the mist to envelop them.

Then darkness fell.

They could feel the mist strengthening their bodies, the world’s reward to them.

The capacity of magic power increased, the essence of life was further fortified.

Everyone appeared outside the dungeon, silently leaving the dungeon’s outpost swiftly.

Not long after they departed.

The outpost exclaimed in awe.

By that moment, possibly they had already left the harbor through the Teleportation Station, heading to the Kingdom’s Capital.
