'Just what Is being 'Devoured'?

Energy?

Life Force?

Souls?

Energy cores?

Saying that the opponent's 'power' was being absorbed is a bit too vague.'

He thought about it for a while before deciding that it really didn't matter to him at this point in time, besides, even if he knew how it worked, there was nothing he could do about it!

And that was the truth.

The inner workings of the 'System' were something not even Artemisia fully understood.

She was just capable of replicating and altering some of its features using the power of a few 'Authorities' and universal laws.

Weaving the essence of universal laws to add some more features to the altered version of the system she had created was also within the scope of her actions.

The extra experience boosts and other extra features that Evan had were a result of her 'additions' and 'alterations' to some of the original system's features, creating a new version of it which she 'installed' into the boy's soul in the form of the 'System Updates.'

As for who, what or how the system that spanned heaven knows how many universes was created, she didn't know this!

And although she was close to a being who knew, he wouldn't tell her simply because it was no fun to do so, as such, the goddess didn't even bother asking.

Bottom line, if Artemisia didn't fully understand the system and hadn't been able to wrap her head around it after living longer than the current Evan could comprehend, then there was no way Evan would be able to do so!

So, Evan put that at the back of his mind and pulled out his sleeping bag, laid it on the floor, and slept off!

◇ ◇ ◇

Fast forward to the next day and the group were continuing their dungeon dive while Evan was teaching Eliza how to use the cleaning lifestyle magic.

Discovering another rift mage didn't take them long, as the monsters liked to roam about their floors and summoned other monsters to attack anything that wasn't a fellow rift mage!

"KUEEEE!!!"

That brings us to the current situation where a light blue-robed rift mage, squealed loudly as dozens of magic circles manifested around the trio.

"Ah, shit. Here we go again."

"GRRRR!!!!"

Wolves belonging to the same pack jumped out of the magic circles and towards the trio, baring their fangs and claws while growling loudly.

Pride unsheathed her sword and Eliza rose her staff, getting ready for battle. Meanwhile, Evan took a deep breath and called out to his contracted great lightning spirit.

"Kayla."

[Yes!]

His intentions were transmitted to her, making the young spirit hesitate for a moment, before deciding to go along with his decision.

With closed eyes, magic power began building up around Kayla, attracting the attention of all parties present, the wolves, the rift mage and Evan's companions.

Amy's eyes widened in shock as she began pulling on Pride's hair, shaking her head rapidly while pointing at Kayla.

Seeing this, Pride understood and pulled Eliza backwards, taking a distance of over a dozen metres away from Evan's position.

'Saves me the stress.'

As soon as Evan thought that, he flicked his fingers and generated a small ball of flames in his right palm, he then slammed the fireball into the ground, resulting in a wave of flames that propagated throughout the ground.

The incoming wolves had their paws burned by the sudden wave of flames, crying out in pain as Kayla chose this time to make her move.

Her eyes shot open as she called out the name of the unique skill she had not used since the day she acquired it.

[Pseudo-Authority of Lightning.]

p Her usual black dress turned bright gold as the young great spirit fully utilized the 'authority' she had as the great spirit of lightning.

Ambient energies coalesced together to form a giant pearl of lightning that floated mid-air. From this orb, spears of lightning rained down across the entire area.

The wolves were struck by the mighty lightning, with the weaker ones charring black instantly and the stronger ones only lasting a few seconds.

The spears of lightning that rained down, mixed with the wave of flames on the ground, resulting in an elemental reaction that triggered multiple explosions across the ground.

**BOOOM!! BOOOMM!! BOOOOOMMM!!!

"GARRHHHH!!!"

"I didn't get to do this yesterday, but this has always been my main reason for coming to this floor of the dungeon."

Evan, whose right hand was still on the ground, placed his left hand on the ground, crouching slightly as he took a runner's starting position.

Kayla tapped his back and a lightning seal appeared on it, granting him temporary immunity to her lightning.

In the next instant, he shot off the ground, blitzing through the air so fast his movements seemed like a blur.

He crossed through the storm of lightning created by Kayla, with some of the spears of lightning striking him but he took no damage as he dashed straight towards the rift mage that was still summoning more wolves in the back.

Since it was outside Kayla's range, it was unaffected and kept on summoning more wolf monsters from heaven knows where.

As soon as Evan got close, it reacted instantly, waving its staff as the red summoning magic circle turned light blue instantly.

"KUEE!"

The creature let out a strange scream as the thermal energy in the surroundings dropped instantly, with a solidified bolt of ice appearing in front of the blue magic circle.

With a low sound, the bolt was launched towards Evan who pulled out the unforged from his inventory and coated the sword in flames, slicing through the bolt and proceeding forward.

The rift mage didn't let Evan get as close as he wanted, activating its teleportation as it vanished from the spot and reappeared a dozen metres away.

As soon as it reappeared, it waved its staff again, this time forming not one but tens of ice bolts, firing them all at the same time in several directions like a shotgun.

'Smart creature, it doesn't matter where I run, I'd still meet icicles, huh?'
