The magic circle that Vuni had just created immediately emitted a blinding light. Its light was as bright as the sun.
The light was so bright that the players had to cover their eyes. Hikaru was, of course, unaffected, so he took advantage of this and ran into the Dungeon Gate.
Hikaru used all his strength to run because the light Vuni produced could only last for a short while. As soon as Hikaru touched the Dungeon Gate, a message appeared in front of him.
[Ding! Do you want to enter the Dungeon…]
Hikaru didn't even bother to read the message and shouted, "Yes! Please let me in! Hurry up!"
[Ding! Confirmed successfully.]
Right after that, Hikaru instantly lost consciousness. At the same time, the light that Vuni conjured also disappeared. The players were no longer affected by Vuni's light, so they knew that Hikaru had escaped.
"Damn it!"
"My UR Chest!"
"We must ambush him outside the gate. We can catch him!"
"You don't want to enter the Dungeon?"
"…"
"Let's stop arguing!"
" go! Hurry to the Dungeon!"
The players then scrambled into the Dungeon. Sherwin was different. He stared at the Dungeon Gate, his eyes full of hatred. Sherwin walked slowly, toward that direction.
Suddenly, a player appeared behind him, swinging his sword down. Sherwin didn't even turn around. He used one hand to grab the head of the player sneaking at him accurately.
"Bastard! I'll find you, Hikaru!"
As soon as Sherwin said that he crushed the player's head. That player's head exploded like a watermelon, shooting red and white mixed together.
The players saw Sherwin act brutally, so they were afraid and stayed far away, not daring to attack him.
…
In the Dungeon, Hikaru felt a dull pain from his right hand which caused Him to regain consciousness slowly. Facing him was a skull that startled him.
"Ah!"
Hikaru sat up and saw a skull hanging on a simple wooden cross. Hikaru looked closely and discovered that this was indeed a grave.
However, the skull had turned from white to black, and the wooden cross had also decayed. Thus, Hikaru knew that the tomb had existed for a long time.
He looked around and discovered that this place not only had one grave but many. There were so many that even when He looked into the distance, all he could see were graves.
This place was a barren land. There were no trees, not even a blade of grass. Dark clouds obscured the sky, so there was no sunlight. This place was lit up by countless fireballs floating everywhere like demonic fire. The cold wind that blew past made Hikaru shiver.
This place is like hell.
"Wait! Where's Sara? Where's Vuni?"
Hikaru was startled when he recalled his situation. He quickly looked around and saw Vuni lying next to him and Saraya lying about 10 meters away.
Vuni fainted with no injuries, so Hikaru turned his attention to Saraya. Saraya's condition was terrible, and wounds and blood could be seen on her body. Saraya's arm and wings had disappeared entirely. Saraya's whole body smelled of burnt meat, which made him even sadder.
"Rika! How can I heal Saraya? Is it possible to use Soul Points?"
[no! Using Soul Points can only heal wounds but cannot restore the lost arms and wings to their original state.]
Hikaru was saddened to hear that. He even forgot the pain of having his right hand amputated.
"So, what can I do?"
[The only way left is to evolve Saraya. After evolving, Saraya's power will be raised to a new level, and her body will also undergo a transformation.]
Hikaru frowned. He wanted to evolve Saraya. However, He only had Soul Points and did not have any Thunder Stone. Besides, he didn't know where to find Thunder Stone.
[Master! We have found Thunder Stone!]
Hikaru was startled. He asked: "Where?"
[Right here! This place is the grave of the players who died. In the coffin, there are items in their possession.]
"In the coffin? Could it be…" Hikaru looked at the surrounding graves, gulping. However, right after that, Hikaru's face was filled with determination.
He stood up, using 100 Soul Points to help Vuni recover. She only fainted from exhaustion, and her life was not in danger. The only person in critical condition right now was Saraya.
Hikaru tore off a piece of his shirt and tied the cut on his right hand to keep the blood from flowing. Then he pulled out a wooden stick and started digging. Hikaru's body was also worn out . Apart from the skin, wounds and bones of his left hand that had recovered, his body was in pain .
He wanted to use Soul Points to advance later so that all of his wounds would be healed. However, Rika advised him not to level up as the amputated arm could not be healed, like Saraya.
In a situation like this, many people wouldn't be able to stay calm. But Hikaru was different. He had no time to be afraid nor the time to rest. He just hoped the grave he was digging would have what he needed.
Hikaru was so tired that he wanted to pass out. The dirt sticking to his injuries made the pain worse. However, Hikaru didn't care and just continued to dig up the coffin below quickly.
Fortunately, Hikaru only dug down 1 meter and reached the coffin. Perhaps because so many people died, the undertakers didn't dig deep.
Hikaru saw that the coffin had decayed, and soil was spilling inside. Perhaps this coffin had been buried for so long that it no longer smelled of corpses. Hikaru used his left hand to try to dig out the contents of the coffin.
He found a lot of dew, but after a while, he found a yellow stone. In the black mud, the yellow stone was eye-catching.
Although the coffin had decayed, the corpse inside is still white, but the stone still looks new. the stone shone a pale yellow light.
[Master! It's the player's Soul Crystal! After the player dies, a Soul Crystal will be dropped, which contains information and items they owned before death.]
Hikaru was delighted. He immediately asked Rika: "How to make use of it."
[Master, just crush it.]
Hikaru did not doubt Rika's words. He took the stone in his hand and crushed it. The stone looked very hard but was easily crushed when squeezed. With a little force, Hikaru crushed the stone.
The stone had just broken in Hikaru's hand when an information board appeared in front of him.
[Ding! Congratulations on collecting player Amanda's Soul Crystal. You get: 4,221 Soul Points; Space Stone x 15; Thunder Stone X 20; Fire Stone X 8;...]
Despite receiving many items, including weapons and a lot of Soul Points, Hikaru only paid attention to the Thunder Stone.
"Luckily, the first grave had a Thunder Stone, even more than the required amount."
Hikaru exclaimed happily, feeling lucky.
[...]
Rika wanted to speak but, in the end, decided not to. Rika knew that the items possessed by the dead player would have the Thunder Stone because Element Stones weren't as hard to find as Hikaru thought.
Element Stones were easy to find, but Hikaru was just a beginner, so he had that thought because he had not had much contact with this world.
Of course, Rika wouldn't tell Hikaru that because seeing Him so happy, Rika was also inexplicably happy.
Hikaru quickly ran to Saraya's side, then used the M.E skill on her.
[Ding! To evolve Saraya, you must pay 500 Soul Points and 5 Thunder Stone. Do you want to pay or not?] freewebno vel.co m
"Yes! Hurry up!"
[Ding! Successful payment. Beginning to evolve.]
Then, an aura wrapped around Saraya's body. Hikaru could see Saraya's wounds healing fast. In just 10 seconds, Saraya's body was free of any injuries. Saraya's arms and wings were also restored, and She grew another pair of wings. Thus, Saraya had 2 pairs of wings.
Hikaru saw Saraya in good health. He hugged her, feeling Saraya's warmth. He was so happy that he burst into tears. For the first time, he felt fear when someone he knew almost died.
[Currently, Saraya has just finished evolving. However, her spirit hasn't recovered yet, so she needs to rest a bit. She'll wake up soon. Master, don't worry.]
Hikaru nodded, and carried Saraya closer to Vuni, and let them both lean on him.
Hikaru was resting while looking at Saraya's stats after evolving.
…

…
At this moment, Rika's voice resounded.
[Monsters that evolve to SR - Class will be different. SR - Class monsters, each level up will give them a 100 free attribute points. However, since you used the skill (M.E), Saraya will have 100 attribute points added to Agility, Strength, and 150 attribute points added to Intelligence.]
Hikaru realized that the higher the level and class, the more powerful the Maximum Evolution skill appeared.
He also knew that the other (+) points are thanks to "The Pioneer" medal, so the monster's stats will be +100%.
