Chapter 220: *Better places to go to loot purple dungeons*
Curious, he opened his System and checked his messages, and he was stunned at first and then excited as he read his messages.

...
Each time his summoned creatures killed another dead knight, he received a new message. That was too good to be real; even without fighting, he could still gain experience points and continue to level up. He was so excited about this discovery that he immediately shared the good news with Axel via their telepathic link.
And Axel was also very excited about this news because the stronger Kevin became, the more he would be able to use the Stage 3 of his Warrior Spirit skill, and then even the gods couldn’t hurt him anymore.
Once they had finished killing all the creatures in the room, Erik came and sat down next to Kevin, and he was totally out of breath.
Meanwhile, Axel, Alan, and Liam were collecting the armor, magic bags, purple crystals, and bodies of the Warrior Wizards, and Ian was checking the walls and floor of the room to see if he could find any ore, as Kevin had asked him to.
This time he opened his eyes wide when he felt something; there was only a little bit of it, but it was always worth getting it.
Curious to discover what ore it was, he went directly in front of the wall where it was and began the extraction. When the rocks that hid it from everyone were removed, Liam approached, curious to see what Ian had discovered, and he also opened his eyes wide when he saw what it was, "Verarium? Love, it’s some Verarium, isn’t it?"
Ian just nodded, still too shocked to speak. This ore could normally only be found in the demons’ territory. It was the best for crafting weapons; medium-grade Verarium could craft high-grade weapons as powerful as those crafted with high-grade Nerudium.
And rumors said that high-grade Verarium could even craft legendary-grade weapons that would be as powerful as those crafted with Trinium. The only disadvantage with this ore was that you could not create artifacts with it, but the power of the weapons crafted with it was something everyone was aware of.
As the others approached, Ian explained what he knew about the Verarium, and Liam added, still not believing his eyes, "They say that shields crafted with high-grade Verarium can withstand any attack and resist any spell, while swords could destroy any high-grade weapon, even artifacts."
Kevin smiled satisfied; his intuition had been right. After all, why would there only be ore in some dungeons and not in others? If his theory about resources was correct, the closer they got to the border, the more likely they would be to find it in large quantities.
He asked Liam curiously, as Ian had finally come to his senses and was starting to extract it from the wall, "How far are we from the border?"
He turned to Axel and asked him, "Honey, didn’t you buy a map of the continent?"
Axel immediately took the map out of his magic bag and put it on the ground. Liam showed Kevin the area where they were because the Valley of the Mist was a huge place, and Kevin’s smile widened when he saw that this area was just to the right of the capital and that it was as far from the border, which separated the continent in two, as the capital was, meaning that they were surely a better place to go loot purple dungeons.
Kevin then asked Liam if he knew of other places closer to the border where they could loot dungeons, but Liam said unexpectedly, "Look, Kev, I understand that you want to test your theory that there are more resources in the dungeons that are closer to the border, but even in the purple dungeons, there is a difference in the difficulty of looting them.
The ones in this valley are relatively easy to loot; even this one that you consider dangerous would be classified as an easy one to loot, purple dungeon. The closer you get to the border, the higher the level of the monsters inside the dungeons will be."
Liam then showed him two more areas on the map, and the one closest to the border was still only halfway between it and the capital, which still left huge possibilities for looting dungeons with more resources and for Axel and Alan to continue to increase their levels.
Liam pointed to the area that was halfway between the border and the capital and said seriously, "To loot the purple dungeons in this area, the number of fighters for these expeditions is at least 30, with at least 5 of them having Axel’s level and the rest of them all being at least Erik’s level."
Kevin nodded and said, "It would be perfect for Axel and Alan to go train there, but let’s wait until Erik gets to Stage 2 before we go."
He asked him again when he saw that Liam didn’t seem to be convinced, "Show me the areas where the red dungeons appear."
Liam showed him the areas where red dungeons had been seen, and when he saw that Kevin smiled again, he noticed for the first time that they all appeared in a very small area that was very close to the border and was in alignment with the purple dungeon area he had just shown him and the capital. Even the Wildlands, if you continued to draw a line, was in this alignment; this discovery amazed him.
Kevin surprised him even more when he asked him, "Could you ask Solomon to provide us with a map of the demon territories with the areas where their purple dungeons are located and if they also have red dungeons on their side?"
Liam just nodded, and Ian at that moment returned to them, holding out a piece of the Verarium he had just extracted to Kevin, who immediately understood his silent request.
This ore was a totally black color, which made it hard to find through all those rocks, and it was possible that humans less familiar with this ore had never noticed it before.
