Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 519 - 471 Finaris

Morning.

Warm sunlight streamed through the window on the second floor of the villa.

It filtered through the glass and fell upon the corner of the silk quilt in the center of the room.

Adding a touch of warmth and a hint of brightness to the morning room.

Outside the windows here, the morning wasn’t filled with the sound of birds, but rather the continuous sound of cattle, sheep, and horses, one after another, reaching Kane’s ears.

In a daze, Kane opened his eyes.

He rose and looked out at the sunlight, realizing it was almost noon.

They had slept for nearly a day and a night.

Kane felt aching all over, his body unusually tired and exhausted.

It had been so long since he woke up naturally and was able to linger in bed.

In the last month in the dungeon, they had been constantly on the move and fighting.

Finally, they cleared it; this time, they must rest thoroughly.

Thinking this, Kane got up and quickly freshened up.

Ah, my body feels so soft and weary.

"Cotton Candy, come over and carry me downstairs; I don’t want to move."

Cotton Candy flipped over beside him, its big round eyes rolling.

Then it shrank its body and condensed a soft cloud chair on its back.

Flying directly under Kane’s feet, it supported him and slowly drifted toward the villa’s living room.

Kane lay on Cotton Candy’s back, and he was sinking into it.

Ah, so comfortable.

"Ah! That hurts."

Momentarily squinted, Kane suddenly curled up his body, feeling a heavy blow to his abdomen.

Opening his eyes, he saw Lirulu dropping from the sky, landing on his stomach with half-closed eyes.

Helplessly, Kane reached out and tugged at Lirulu’s cheek, lying on his belly.

"What are you doing? It’s really painful, you know."

Lirulu shook her head, escaping Kane’s grasp, and lazily said, "Lirulu just feels sore all over and doesn’t want to talk. Let Lirulu lie down for a while."

There was no way around it; yesterday, they nearly drained every bit of their magic power.

Even the magic potion couldn’t restore them; their physical strength was rapidly consumed and revived.

Now waking up to the side effects, just being sore all over, they’re incredibly grateful for Meizike’s potion expertise.

If it were any other potion, Kane and the others would be bedridden for half a month before recovering.

Or rather, they wouldn’t have lasted yesterday.

Helplessly, Kane got up, carrying Lirulu from his stomach and jumped off Cotton Candy. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

He held Lirulu in one arm, clamped under his armpit.

Lirulu hung there, limbs and head drooping, swaying with Kane’s movements, unwilling to move.

From a distance, it looked like Kane was carrying a doll.

In the living room, Kreya was already sitting by the dining table, quietly sipping red tea.

When she saw Kane and the others come down, she began to take out breakfast from the golden space equipment, and the breakfast was steaming hot.

Every time they saw it, they had to marvel at how incredibly useful it was.

Longbei and the others also came down from the stairs on the other side.

Kane walked over and sat beside Kreya, then placed the drooping Lirulu from his armpit into Kreya’s arms.

Kreya looked at the lazy Lirulu in her arms and smiled, pinching her cheek: "Wake up, time to eat."

Just like that, everyone gathered around the table, quietly eating breakfast.

The maid who was with Kreya’s mother yesterday was now whispering something to Kreya.

Kreya simply nodded and said, "You go back first, tell mother I’ll return later; I have things to handle here."

"Yes, Miss."

The maid nodded, bowed, and left the villa.

At this moment, only Kane and the others were left in the villa.

They quickly finished the breakfast on the table.

After eating, they clapped their hands and exchanged looks.

They reached out and touched their respective Guild Seals, uttered the secret words, and disappeared from where they stood.

Upon entering, they saw Saintess Finaris, who was sleeping on the bar counter.

Kreya walked over and gently patted her.

Now, Kreya was the most familiar person with Finaris, having spent time together in the past month.

One was responsible for narrating various happenings and knowledge, while the other focused on learning and asking questions.

Finaris opened her eyes, looking at Kreya who woke her, and pulled herself up with Kreya’s arm.

"You’re here."

Then everyone gathered around a large round table nearby.

"How is it, Finaris? Have you seen any Spirit of Freedom enter today?"

Kane’s most pressing concern was that no one knew what the Spirit of Freedom would experience in the devoured dungeon territory.

Finaris shook her head and said, "I haven’t seen any guild members from that world enter today; it’s been just me."

Kane had also visited the guild base nearby to check, and found no Lantern Knight Order members.

And in the Resurrection Spring Water, no souls of the deceased were seen.

At least there’s some good news; we know these Spirits of Freedom haven’t died yet. Although there’s no news, at least they’re safe.

Thinking it over, Kane opened the [Book of Adventure].

He flipped to the guild members’ page and checked the detailed information about them.

As expected, the detailed information section of the Spirits of Freedom in the dungeon showed changes.

[Skill Grid: Empty] (Recognized by the Mist, seal breaking in progress.)

[Origin Skills: Empty] (Recognized by the Mist, seal breaking in progress.)

This is where they’ve changed; previously, these two sections were marked as "Not recognized by the Mist, sealed."

Now they’ve become recognized by the Mist, and the seal is in the process of breaking.

The previously red chains binding this border are no longer glowing red, and the chains show signs of breaking, vividly indicating the seal is being lifted.

Though the exact situation is unknown, it seems the Mist is completely engulfing and digesting the entire dungeon, and once it’s fully digested, the seal should disappear entirely.

At that time, perhaps the Spirits of Freedom can enter the Guild Hall again.

Of course, this is just Kane’s own opinion, deduced from some simple known information.

As for whether this is the true situation, we’ll have to wait and see.

At this time, Finaris asked, "Can I go out and have a look now?"

"Of course, no problem," Kane nodded and said.

Then they all disappeared from the Guild Hall.

After Kane and the others left, they rushed to the dungeon entrance in the villa.

They had just seen that the dungeon entrance had disappeared, and the members of the Mist Council around had left, and it was already abandoned.

So they dared to let Finaris come out at this time.

When they went out, they happened to see Finaris standing at the former entrance, curiously observing the surroundings.

In fact, they had appeared together at the dungeon entrance earlier, but before going out, Kane had already discussed with Finaris to immediately enter the Guild Hall the moment they landed.

This was mainly to avoid possible people waiting outside. Suddenly having a new Explorer in the team is very odd, especially without any record.

Although being discovered wouldn’t be a big problem, following the principle of avoiding more trouble, Kane came up with this method.

And after Finaris came out, she naturally appeared at the dungeon entrance.

Kreya walked over, smiling, and asked, "How is it, Finaris? Does the outside feel different?"

"Not much different, it seems just like inside, but maybe more free?"

Listening to Finaris’s words, Kreya smiled, then took her hand and walked outside, saying, "Let me familiarize you with this place."

"Sure!"

"Lilu wants to go too." After saying this, Lilu followed along.

Only Kane and the other two men were left in place.

The few looked at each other and then silently returned to the villa.

Once inside, Meizike suddenly thought of something and slapped his forehead.

"Wait a sec."

He called out to Kane and the others beside him.

Then he took out two bottles of potion from his space equipment and handed them to the two.

After Kane took the potions, he looked at him with confusion.

"What’s this?" Longbei asked.

"For repair, drink it."

Hearing Meizike’s words, Kane nodded and drank the potion in his hand.

As the potion flowed into his mouth, Kane felt a warm heat passing through his body, flowing through his veins inside.

This warm heat seemed to be repairing the damage within him, and he could feel the soreness in his body disappearing rapidly.

What followed was a sense of sheer delight.

When the heat disappeared, Kane couldn’t help but stretch lazily, his whole body trembling wildly.

"Awesome!" ×2

The two who drank the potion couldn’t help but shout.

Longbei shook himself and then said, "Good brother, I have an idea I want to discuss with you, come quickly."

Saying this, Longbei dragged Meizike upstairs.

Meizike was dragged along, tossing three more potions just like the ones before to Kane.

Kane caught them easily, presumably to pass them to Kreya and the others.

Then, Kane sat idly nearby, casually chatting with Youyou.

Before long, he saw Longbei and Meizike coming down, Longbei still excitedly saying something.

Strangely, Meizike was actually listening seriously, seemingly not talking nonsense.

At this point, he heard the sound of hooves and girls discussing outside, presumably Kreya and the others were back.

When they came in, Kane handed them the three potions in his hand, explaining their effects.

After Kreya and Lilu drank the potions, they couldn’t help but praise the effects, but they knew the potions were made by Meizike and were aware of his potion-making skills, so it wasn’t overly surprising.

But Finaris found it incredibly amazing.

She never imagined a potion could achieve such effects, almost like divine magic.

Now she started feeling some inexplicable fear, wondering if all explorers in this world are so strong.

Yet previously, as a Spirit of Freedom in the dungeon, she encountered explorers who were frequently fools.

Perhaps it was because Kane and the others were just too strong.

This thought crossed Finaris’s mind.
