"Damn, even without the Ring, Tier 8 Calamity Mutants will cowl in front of me," Karsha said looking at his new stats. Although several times lower than even a Tier 7 calamity Mutant, the energy running through him said otherwise.

Not only had Karsha leveled up in terms of stats, but his aura had also undergone a massive transformation.

It was now several times stronger than it had been, thanks to his journey so far and the effect of his Charm attribute. His charm didn’t just make him appear handsome; it also made him appear dangerous.

Each time he gained a point in his Charm attribute, his aura multiplied in strength. With over ten thousand points in Charm, his aura had become overwhelmingly potent.

He had never fully unleashed his aura before, not even when battling the Overlords, so he didn’t know just how domineering he had become.

Karsha could feel the change within him. The power coursing through his veins, the enhanced aura surrounding him, and the sheer intensity of his presence were all testaments to his growth.

His fortress hummed with the residual energy of his breakthrough. Although he can’t absorb spiritual Qi, the same cannot be said for the soul ring.

Inside the fortress, the ring keeps absorbing the energy in the air making his newly formed core hum powerful energy fluctuation.

He felt a newfound confidence as he sat there, absorbing the last remnants of energy. The challenges ahead, no matter how formidable, seemed surmountable. He was ready to face whatever came next.

"I am going to make the Inner Area my playground," Karsha said with a sly smile before shifting his gaze to the next set of messages.

"Looks like absorbing the calamity cores affected my elements. I guess I should further strengthen the Dark Prince Hell Art once I get back."

With his elemental affinity now at the medium stage, Karsha could harness more power from his elements. His darkness element had also increased, meaning his Third Eye and Eternal Demon Gaze skills had become significantly more powerful.

Karsha had always been wary of the Darkness element. He didn’t know exactly why, but he sensed a potent danger lurking within ever since he awakened it.

When he awakened Absolute Darkness, it gave him complete control over darkness. With enough mastery and a higher affinity, he could even turn day into night, using the element to his advantage. It was incredibly powerful but equally dangerous.

"Alright, let’s take it one step at a time," Karsha thought. "I’ll start by getting a sword skill for each element."

So far, he had Fire Beam, Crescent Ice Strike, and Call of the Storm as his go-to sword attack skills. For his more mage-like abilities, Agni Infernal Dominion and Ice Queen Wrath filled that role.

His Sword Storm skill had reached an S rating the last time he went into seclusion, but he hadn’t had a chance to use it yet. It was a devastating skill, perfect for taking down multiple enemies at once.

"Good thing the elders and the Sect took the bait and showered me with thousands of skill books," Karsha thought, a smirk playing on his lips.

Although he had a treasure trove of skill books on the island, they were all Tier 20 and above. He didn’t want to waste them until he knew exactly what he’d use them for.

Learning a Tier 20 skill just for a domain felt like a waste, especially when he had no clue what the skill’s effect would be once added to his arsenal.

Those skill books were precious, so he planned to save them until the system upgraded to 4.0. With the synthesis ability upgrade, he could merge higher-tier skills.

For now, with the skills and techniques he already had, he wasn’t too worried about running out of options.

"Five more days. Let’s get this over with," Karsha muttered as he stood up and deactivated the fortress. He saw Xian and the others a couple of kilometers away and quickened his pace to join them.

"Sorry for wasting your time," he said, sitting down beside Linnea and Xian. "We have five more days to go. Although you six have reached the 20 million point mark, there’s still a lot of amazing stuff in the forest. So go ahead and claim them."

He handed a map to Li Jing, who nodded in acknowledgment. The system had already informed Karsha that it had mapped out the outer area of the forest, so he had a printout made for his team.

"Big brother, won’t you be coming with us?" Xian asked. Now that he has become stronger, he wants to show off to Karsha, sadly, Karsha won’t be joining them.

He has his plans. The gaze that has been fixed on him since he entered the Purple Forest came from the inner area, so he ought to find it. Read new adventures at novelbuddy

"No, I’ll be heading to the Inner Area to check out some things. You go with these Fairies and protect them so they can help you evolve Thorr to the Mystical grade," Karsha replied.

Xian had already told him about his progress with ThunderCoil, whom he had named Thorr. Xian had been diligently hunting monsters, and once he secured 100,000 Tier 7 monster bodies and cores, he planned to feed Thorr the Lightning fruit to make him evolve to the Mystical grade.

After a few more minutes of chatting and handing out some additional gifts, Karsha formed a party with Xian and Linnea. They wished each other luck before parting ways.

Xian’s team boarded the flying boat, its sleek design cutting through the air with ease, while Karsha took to the skies on his own, heading deeper into the forest where the entrance to the Inner Area lay.

As Karsha soared over the dense canopy, the forest beneath him seemed to pulse with life and danger. The deeper he flew, the more foreboding the environment became.

The once lush and vibrant greenery began to darken, and the trees grew twisted and gnarled, their branches reaching out like skeletal hands.

Suddenly, he spotted a massive figure moving through the trees below—a Tier 8 Calamity Mutant, known as the Bonecrusher Golem.

It stood at least twenty feet tall, its body a grotesque amalgamation of stone and bone. Its eyes glowed with a malevolent red light, and each step it took caused the ground to tremble.

"Glad I don’t have to deal with that right now," Karsha muttered to himself, maintaining a safe distance as he flew past.

A few moments later, he caught sight of another monstrous creature—a Tier 9 Dark Alpha, the Thunderclaw Wyvern. Its scales crackled with electric energy, and its wingspan was so vast it cast a shadow that darkened the forest floor.

With a roar that shook the heavens, it unleashed a bolt of lightning at an unfortunate beast below, incinerating it instantly.

"Note to self: avoid the Thunderclaw Wyvern," Karsha thought, feeling a shiver run down his spine. The terrifying strength of the knockoff Dragon made him appear apprehensive yet excited at the same time.

"Something is definitely wrong with me.

As he continued his flight, Karsha encountered even more fearsome beasts. A Tier 9 Lesser Mutant called the Bloodspine Serpent slithered through the underbrush, its crimson scales blending with the shadows.

Nearby, a Great Mutant, the Obsidian Titan, lumbered through a clearing, its skin as black as night and harder than the toughest steel.

Karsha marveled at the sheer power and variety of these creatures. "This place is a nightmare," he remarked, his eyes constantly scanning for threats.

The boundary between the outer area and the Inner Area of the forest came into view, marked by a colossal chasm that seemed to descend into the very depths of the earth.

Massive, jagged rocks jutted out from the sides, and a thick, swirling mist obscured the bottom. The air was thick with malevolent energy, and the temperature seemed to drop several degrees as he approached.

Karsha descended carefully, landing on a narrow ledge overlooking the chasm. The mist parted slightly, revealing eerie blue flames flickering in the depths below.

"Guess this is it," Karsha said to himself, taking a deep breath. He looked around, noting the bizarre and twisted vegetation that clung to the rocks.

Some of the plants had leaves that glowed with an unnatural light, while others seemed to move of their own accord, reaching out with tendrils like living creatures.

"It’s going to be dangerous," Karsha said. His outfit shifted from the Karsha sect robe to a form-fitting cloak-like futuristic cloak armor.

His dual sword sheath appeared on his back, inside are the Enigma Soul sword and another heaven-grade sword. His boots are military grade with runic symbols etched on them.

"Time to see what secrets the Inner Area holds," he said, steeling himself for the challenges ahead.

With a final glance back at the forest behind him, he stepped off the ledge and into the unknown depths of the Inner Area, ready to face whatever terrors awaited him.
