Chapter 198: *Aren’t you even going to ask me how he’s doing...*
So instead of casting spells, they created weapons with the particles of their element and started to attack them, but again, the technique these humans used to fight was far superior to theirs, and soon only the seven higher-level Elementaries were left.
Kevin, who was only level 39, would have had no chance against these Elementaries, but by working as a team with Erik and after half an hour of hard fighting, he managed to eliminate three of them, while Erik took care of the remaining ones.
They were both wounded in several places and had to sit on the ground because they were really exhausted from their fight, and when Axel and Alan joined them to hand each of them a legendary-grade Healing potion, they both drank it without hesitation.
Axel immediately asked Kevin, "Are you feeling better?"
Kevin smiled at him and said to reassure him, "I am perfectly fine, honey... Do you know what these crystals are?"
Liam answered him because he knew that Axel and Alan had never seen one like these, "These crystals have the same use as the Talisman papers filled with particles of one element. The yellow ones are filled with wind particles, and the brown ones are filled with earth particles. The bigger they are, the more particles they have inside, and you can absorb them like you do with a Talisman paper."
Kevin exchanged a look with Alan, and they both thought the same thing; they knew that they would now have enough particles to be able to make the weapons they wanted with the Trinium.
In front of their stunned faces, Liam explained, "I had almost forgotten about them; after all, I am a fighter, so they were of no use to me unlike the Nerudium that can be found in this kind of dungeon."
He looked at Ian, and Ian understood right away. They couldn’t see anything because of the rocks, but thanks to his new mastery of his earth element, if there was any Nerudium hidden inside those rocks, he would find it.
He placed his hand on the rock wall and used his earth element to look for something that would be considered a foreign object, but he found nothing. He withdrew his hand and shook his head when he saw Liam’s questioning look.
Liam smiled at him and asked them, "How do you guys divide the loot?"
Kevin and Erik had just gotten up, and Axel pulled out a magic bag and replied to him, "We take everything first and see afterwards how we share it."
Liam nodded, and while Axel was picking up the crystals, Kevin decided to check what he had earned thanks to his system.
[ SUMMARY ]
Killing Superior Spirits you earned 145,000 gold coins, 89,560 experience points, and a bonus of 200 Soul force points.
You have leveled up 6 times; 6 points have been added to all your Stats.
Kevin’s eyes widened when he saw the 200 Soul force bonus points—it was something completely unexpected—and he then thought that definitely, looting purple dungeons had nothing to do with looting blue ones.
Axel joined him after he had finished collecting everything and asked him, "Did you see anything else?"
Kevin shook his head; there was no box in this room, so Axel turned to Liam and said excitedly, "Now it’s our turn!"

Nolan woke up early as usual and immediately felt Ashton’s breath on his chest. It had been a long time since he had slept so well, but he had to go now.
He hesitated to wake him up to say goodbye, and when he looked at the wall clock and saw that it was already 6:30 AM, he gently shook Ashton and said to him, "My little rabbit, if you want to do your exercises before going to train, you have to get up."
Ashton opened his eyes and saw Nolan’s gray eyes looking at him with tenderness. If he could wake up every day like that, it would be great, he thought. He then asked him, "Are you leaving?"
Nolan nodded and told him, "I have to go see my dad and then your family."
Ashton stepped aside to let him get up, and after that he also got up and gave him the ointments he had made especially for him.
Nolan was reluctant to take them, not because he didn’t want to, but because he knew that it would be better to give them to the organization.
He wasn’t the only one who had the need for this ointment, and Ashton, seeing his hesitation, said to him, "They will come in handy when you have to stay several days on the border and are injured; you could help others with them too."
Nolan smiled at him; Ashton was right. They didn’t have regeneration potions at the border, so he finally took them and thanked him, really grateful.
He then got dressed, and he pulled out the medium-distance Teleportation Talisman again. Ashton suddenly asked him, "Aren’t you even going to ask me how he’s doing?"
Nolan froze, and he looked at him with a pained expression. His heart ached to see him like this, so he said to him without waiting for his answer, "He is fine, he is happy, he has good friends, and he is still madly in love with Erik... And... he’s still fighting; he’s really, really strong, you know."
Nolan smiled sadly and told him, "Of course he’s strong; he’s my twin, after all... Thanks, Ash, for everything."
Nolan was about to leave when he finally asked him, "Why, Ash... Why me? I’m dangerous, and you know it very well. Plus, your family won’t agree, so why?"
Ashton blushed, but now that Nolan had finally understood, there was no point in hiding his feelings any longer. He then said hesitantly, "Do you have some time for me? It won’t be long."
Nolan put his Teleportation Talisman paper on the nightstand and went to sit on the bed, beckoning him to join him.
Ashton joined him and said, "What I feel for you has nothing to do with my family. They already know I’m in love with you, and of course, they don’t agree; they still think I’ll eventually come to my senses and bring them a girl to give them an heir. But no matter what they think or what they want, they can’t force me to marry someone against my will."
What was to come next was a bit more complicated because Nolan still didn’t know what had happened that day, "What I’m going to tell you now, your father made me promise not to tell you until I turned 18."
Nolan frowned and asked him, "Not before your 18th birthday, but why?"
Ashton wasn’t completely sure either, but that sentence had made him hope for so long that maybe there was a special bond between them, and he might be heartbroken if that wasn’t the case.
