?Listening to Ace’s confirmation, Sofia gravely said, “Then let’s hurry. Once we explore this place, we should quickly leave.”

Ace merely nodded before looking at the crimson battlefield, and he began to move forward while carefully scanning the place. There were myriads of broken treasures that had already lost their luster and were nothing but a piece of junk.

However, what interested Ace was the broken skeletons as they didn’t belong to humans and were quite big; there were even unidentified beasts among them.

“Look at this.” At this moment, Sofia’s astonished voice rang.

Ace hurried over and saw a menacing skull around three meters in size with broken black horns and saw-like teeth, and it only had one eye socket. Ace was surprised when he saw a black core giving off a ghastly aura imbued within the skull.

“This is?” Ace had no idea what kind of race this skull’s owner belonged to, but that core looked like a beast core, but its energy was completely different. He sensed the aura of death.

“I don’t know what it is. Let’s collect the black crystal core. Since I found it, you can’t fight over it.” Sofia claimed ownership of the core without hesitation as she was quite fascinated with it.

“Sure.” Ace nodded as he didn’t have any objection since there were many more such skeletons scattered over the entire battlefield.

Sofia nodded before she used her Qi to take the black core; however, the moment her Qi came in contact with the black core, it suddenly trembled!

The next moment, the skull began to shake violently before dark mist oozed from the black core and covered the entire skull, and it began to float. The dark mist quickly took the shape of a humanoid savage dark creature made with black mist!

Ace and Sofia were shocked by this sudden development as a ghastly pressure enveloped them. The dark creature lunged towards Sofia, opening its dark maw!

Sofia quickly snapped out of her shock as a sense of death crept into her heart; the next moment, a long white spear appeared in her hand, and she thrust it toward the dark creature without hesitation, “Die beast!”

An ethereal violet phantom of a spear suddenly materialized and pierced the dark creature’s skull even though the space was compressing around the spear.

Ace’s eyes shimmered as he sensed a mountain-like aura from the spear, ‘Spear intent and element one at that. This should be space spear intent!’

It was Ace’s first time seeing someone using the intent of space and spear. The sword intent was sharp and could cut through anything, while the spear intent was heavy and could pierce through anything. With the addition of different elements, both weapon intents can do wonders.

The dark creature churned under Sofia’s spear before the mist scattered, and the skull appeared gain before it turned into dust and the black core fell off on the ground.

But Sofia’s complexion was somewhat as it took a massive amount of Qi to use that attack under these restraints.

Grabbing the black core with a hand gesture, Sofia examined it for a moment before storing it away. She looked at Ace, who hadn’t made a move from start to finish, and coldly said, “You’ll take the next one.”

‘Is she competing with me?’ Ace smiled wryly as he could see the fighting intent in her eyes.

“Alright, but we should be careful. Even after dying for who knows how long, that thing still comes back to life. If those cores are useless, let’s just abandon them.” Ace stated.

Sofia’s narrowed her charming eyes, “Are you afraid?”

Ace shook his head as he found this childish and moved forward while Sofia took out a grade-8 Soul crystal and began to absorb it, replenishing her depleted Qi.

Not far away from the previous skull’s location, there were three more skulls with the same black cores imbued under their heads.

Sofia didn’t say anything and watched Ace with scrutiny as she wanted to see how he’d deal with them. 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝑜𝑚

But her eyes widened in disbelief when she saw those three black cores suddenly shimmered before they vanished from their location!

“This was easy.” Ace chuckled as he moved forward.

Sofia gritted her teeth when she heard those infuriating words, which sounded like a clear taunt to her. She never expected Ace to have such an ability, and she even suspects that it is related to space as well.

Ignoring the competitive princess, Ace commanded, “System, appraise those cores for me.”

Although he didn’t know what they were, he knew the system did, so he quickly asked as he wanted to know if they were worth the trouble or not.

Ace was astounded upon reading the information about the devil’s core, especially the last usage, which only he can utilize. His eyes shimmered as he never expected to get such a huge surprise.

But he was also confused, “Born in the abyss? So, this devil is not from the mortal sky heaven?”

“Host will naturally understand in time.” The system gave him a simple, impassive reply before becoming silent.

Ace frowned, but he was now used to the system’s ambiguity, so he didn’t force the matter. He then looked at the huge battlefield, and his eyes shimmered with elation, ‘I guess it can’t be helped now. As long as I collect a sufficient number of devil cores, I will have another material to upgrade Moira.’

“Alright, I’m going to collect these cores. You can do the same. As you said earlier, it will depend on our abilities to find treasures.” Ace looked at Sulking Sofia and announced.

Before she could reply, Ace had already rushed toward the other skulls of the Lesser One Eye Abyss Devils. He was now fully motivated to grab a sufficient number of devil cores.

Sofia was startled for a moment before her eyes flashed sharply, ‘Since he showed such a reaction those cores should be treasure. Hmph, don’t underestimate me!’

With full of competitive spirit she also dashed in the other direction!
