"WITHDRAWAL"

After the agilas stopped playing with the chasing group, the rhythm of the fight changed, causing the chasing group that seemed to have the advantage to become pressured without even being able to resist giving them only the chance to run away without looking back.

*FLASH*

When the coal miners pursued three flashes of light pierced the eagles at vital points.

"Not bad, I managed to gather quite good materials" Chris.

Before the eagles fell Chris stored the corpses in his space storage.

Those three agilas were mutated beasts, usually the wild worlds have a limit of how powerful their monsters are depending on the floor one is on, in the case of the eighth floor the strongest would only be in the range of death and it would be the guardian who protects the entrance of the ninth floor.

But those three agilas surpassed that limit and were in nirvana, being anomalies that appeared in this wild world.

Something like this is very rare to happen, when a mutated monster appears that exceeds its limit, it will be incredibly valuable.

In this case the three beasts were a thunder Eagle, a wind Eagle and a flaming Eagle.

Besides that, Chris managed to capture the soul of the three agilas, if he uses the material of these three beasts and refines the souls of him, he could create a very good team.

When Chris discovered these beasts from the golems, he thought of securing them immediately, but he had to protect Nanci so he didn't, if he used Caliburn power he could get rid of the three agilas easily, but at the risk of damaging the agiler bodies too much ruining the materials in the process.

When Chris advanced to soul concentration and entered the realm of speed, he had more than enough confidence to do so, but since the array fixed itself sooner than expected, he had to put it off.

After that he followed the preparation of the nirvana pill, Meiko fight, delaying it until this moment.

He planned to use Meiko to distract the agilas and he would kill them with a long-range light magic laser shot.

Light magic is well known for its speed since light travels at three hundred thousand kilometers per second, this makes it very lethal, but at the same time difficult to control since a very accurate attack does not always hit, but since Chris was in the realm of speed, his movement and reaction speed reached light, making him now able to control light lasers very easily.

That was the original plan, but as a group of pursuers they offered to be bait, because Chris would turn down the chance to use them.

"Hey, that was it, with your strength, should you be able to handle those three beasts?" Meiko asked.

"I could do it, but it would be hard to secure the materials, plus this was just one of our goals, now we're going elsewhere" Chris.

*GATE*

A spatial gate that opened in front of everyone, the pursuers had already been used as bait, so there was no need for them to let them follow them any longer.

*** ***

"What is this ruin?" Solin.

After going through the gate, everyone was in front of a ruin.

The ruin was quite large with several stone pillars similar to Greek temples.

In the middle of the ruin were two platforms.

"What is this place?" Beatrice.

"I'm not sure, but probably, it's some heirloom place left here by someone from the god realm" Chris.

Among the areas that the golems detected as places they could not inspect was only the place where the soul flower was and this ruin.

"Everyone, this place may have a treasure, you just have to look for a key to find it" With Chris words, everyone began to search.

Beatriz went with Sonia, while Meiko and Morgan searched for her.

Solin on the other hand used Golems like drones to scan the ruin and have a 3D blueprint to study.

In Kaguya case this rune was not related to the moon gods so he has no knowledge that he can help and just looked around.

"Look at this Maya, don't you think these symbols look like our birthmarks" Chloe.

"Yes, they look alike, but why are these symbols here" Maya.

Chloe and Maya were on the two pedestals checking them out, these two, although they have received hard training in either hand-to-hand combat or magic since they were with Chris, the times they have excelled can be counted on the fingers of hands.

So, Chris didn't know about the birthmarks.

By using the eyes of God, Chris checked the body of both women he discovered that they did indeed have birthmarks located on their backs.

When compared to the symbols on the pedestals, they were indeed the same symbols.

"Chloe, Maya"

"Ahhh"

"That…"

When Chris appeared behind the two women they got scared, but when they saw Chris they got a little nervous, even though they aren't afraid of him like in the past, they still can't help but get nervous.

(Looks like I'll have to strengthen the mental state of these two) Chris thought.

The fear that these two had seemed to be created by the difference in status.

But Chris had already noticed the low self-esteem of the two, since he did not know them in depth, he did not know where this came from, but the talent they have shown is quite high, they only lacked resources and specialized training to bring out their talents, so letting two talents go to waste is not something Chris would do.

"Place yourselves on pedestals, your birthmarks originate from your special physiques, maybe this inheritance can only be passed down to people with the physique of pure light and corrupted darkness" Chris said.

"That's true" Chloe.

"Now that you mention it, the inheritance that Lady Beatriz found is not due to her divine physique" Maya.

Chloe and Maya took the pedestals just like Chris said, but nothing happened.

"Nothing happens" Chloe.

"It could be that this is not the correct way to activate the mechanism" Chris.

Although Chris wasn't sure that this was the way to activate the inheritance, his sixth sense told him that he was on the right track, he was just missing a piece of the puzzle.

"I see that's it" Chris.

He did not know why, but when checking the surroundings, he noticed something in the pillars that surround the pedestals, at the base of these there was a ruin that symbolized some aspect, but among all the pillars there was only one that had the ruins of light and another the of darkness.

After noticing this Chris checked the floor and noticed that these two pillars were connected to the platforms.

"Meiko, Maya, those beech pillars, use light and dark magic to light them up," Chris explained.

"Are you sure, we wouldn't break the pillars?" Maya.

"The pillars are made of a material that specializes in the ability to conduct energy so it will absorb their magic without taking any damage," Chris said.

"Wave of Darkness"

Wave of Light

Without hesitating anymore Chloe and Maya attacked with the most powerful spells they could use.

The pillar of light that was struck by the turned white, while the circuitry of the matrix it was connected to glowed in white light as it approached the pedestals.

Likewise, the pillar of darkness that was under the influence of turned black, while the circuits glowed black as well.

Checking the formation of the circuits on the floor, Chris noticed that the ones around the pedestals were in the shape of yin and yang.

Maya who was surrounded by the black circuits that represented the yin, on the other hand, her pedestal was white, while Chloe was surrounded by the white circuits in the form of yang while her pedestal turned black.

Chris didn't know much about Taoism, but he understood the meaning of it, just as yin and yang represents duality, the white dot on yin, as well as the black dot on yang, was the same.

In all light there is darkness and, in all darkness, there is light.

In the same way that darkness cannot destroy light, light cannot destroy darkness, since if one does not exist, the other would not exist either, creating a balance between the two elements.

On the other hand, the fact that Chloe and Maya can use "Wave of Darkness" and "Wave of Light" which is higher level magic surprised Chris.

Unlike martial techniques which are classified the same as cultivation techniques and artifacts, magic measures spells in a different classification as they have 10 levels in total each with 3 sub levels (Low, Medium and High).

Basic Magic (Level 1), Intermediate Magic (Level 2), Advanced Magic (Level 3), Higher Magic (Level 4), King Magic (Level 5), Emperor Magic (Level 6), Ancient Magic (Level 7), Magic forbidden (level 8), transcendental magic (level 9), and God magic (level 10)
