Chapter 373: *Pulverize that wall*
After this fight, which lasted a good hour, Kevin looked at where they were in the quest and also at the messages from the system.

[ CONGRATULATIONS ]
You have reached level 125; your Daily Quests have been modified. You can now use your Stage 3 Warrior Spirit skill for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
An additional reward has been granted:
- Reward 1: 50,000 experience points
- Reward 2: 50 Stat points
It was getting interesting; the Stat points were by far his favorite reward because with all the dungeons they were looting and with what Mykael had given them, money would never be a problem for them, and Stat points were what he needed most to increase his basic stats quickly.
He gave Axel the good news, and it was Mykael who said to him, "That’s great, Kevin! You are moving at a very good pace, and thanks to your men, we might be able to loot more dungeons today that will earn you even more Stat points... By the way, now that you have reached 1,000 Soul Force points and can finally earn perception points, don’t forget to distribute all the Stat points you earn evenly."
Kevin nodded. It was true that even though he hadn’t had much time to craft potions in the last few days, he had still reached the low-grade level 3 in his potion crafting skill block, and now he could earn 30 experience points and 3 Soul Force points every time he crafted a potion.
Yesterday, thanks to the Stat points he had added to his Soul Force after looting two purple dungeons, he had finally reached 1,000 Soul Force points, and a new daily quest had appeared.
Now, he only had to use spells to gain perception points, and he could gain up to 10 perception points per day. Moreover, the spells he used when he activated his Warrior Spirit skill were taken into account, which allowed him to easily reach those 10 perception points per day.
He then said to them, "I will do that later; let’s see if there is anything interesting within these walls."
Kevin knelt down and did as he had done the last time; he put his hands on the ground and let his earth element search through the rock all around them. This time, he smiled and said to them, "I found some, right over there!"
Kevin went to the wall that contained an ore and put his hands on it to start the extraction. Yesterday, he had already done it, and they had found high-grade and medium-grade Nerudium, so today it should be easier for him to extract it.
But he was wrong; it was as if the ore in the rock refused to move and come to him as it had done yesterday.
As he stopped and frowned because he didn’t understand why he couldn’t extract it, Alan joined him and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Kevin then said to him, "It’s weird. There’s an ore in this rock, but unlike yesterday, when I could move the rocks around it to make it come to me and pull it out, today it’s like it’s stuck."
Alan’s smile widened, and he then excitedly told Kevin, "That’s great news! That means it’s a much more powerful ore than yesterday, so it’s got to be Verarium, and a good quality one with that."
Kevin was having trouble sharing his enthusiasm at the moment, and instead, he asked him, "But how do we get it out then?"
Alan smirked and told him, "This ore is very powerful; it’s not likely to be damaged like the medium-grade Nerudium from yesterday, so pulverize that wall, and we’ll collect it from the rubble."
Kevin smirked too and said in a powerful voice to warn everyone, "Be careful everyone; it’s going to shake a little!"
Kevin stepped back to gain momentum, and without waiting any longer, he charged at the wall that contained the ore and hit it with all his might. The rock then broke into a thousand pieces over a large part of the wall, and a huge hole that had the shape of a crater was now visible.
Kevin gave a quick look at Alan; he really hoped he was right and that he hadn’t damaged the ore by doing this.
He hurriedly put his hands on the ground and realized that this time he could move the pieces of this ore without encountering any resistance.
Once he had identified them, he surrounded them with particles of wind and made them fly toward him, then began to pile them up on the ground next to him.
Alan exclaimed then, "Damn, I was right! It’s high-grade Verarium! Look, there are golden veins in it, and there is a hell of a lot of it."
When Kevin was sure that he had collected everything, he said, very satisfied, "No wonder there were so many monsters in this room..."
He stopped dead because he had just received new warning messages from his system.

Kevin immediately exclaimed, "Damn it, they must have heard the wall collapse!"
He turned to Axel and asked him, "What do you feel in the boss room?"
