Chapter 757: 4th Floor, Natural resource treasure, and Lapis Lagoon

After Athan destroyed the bird, a giant portal gate appeared in which everyone entered inside and arrived at the 4th floor of the Labyrinth.

"The 5th floor was barren with no resources, but the 4th floor is different. This floor will have mystical plants, trees, fruits, etc., and stronger monsters," Nina said with a smile.

This 4th floor had a sky with two bright stars that provided light, and the ground was lush with greenery. Athan could also see rivers and mountains.

"Let's go!" Taezin said as he flew in the sky and took a deep breath as he absorbed a ton of Outrious Energy.

...

Athan and others continue on the 4th floor without any trouble. Primo, Taezin, and Pixilot handled all monsters while Athan just observed battles and looked out for natural resources.

He wanted to check how he could use these natural resources in his way.

After an hour, he found a glowing lotus in the middle of a pond. The Lotus exuded potent energy and looked mysterious at first glance.

"Hehehe, there's an idiot beneath that lotus, waiting for a prey who will go there for the lotus," Primo said with a sneer, "leave it to me, master. I can easily get that Lotus without moving."

The pond was clear, and they couldn't see any monsters, but it was that monster's specialty as it turned invisible in the pond. Naturally, Athan and others could sense its presence.

"Alright," Athan nodded as he decided to let Primo do it. He would have to waste an Abyssal Blood Crystal if he wanted to do it.

"Nyaa," Primo waved its paws as a ripple of space appeared at the Lotus before it disappeared along with the space ripples.

However, that space ripples appeared right in front of Athan before it produced the Lotus.

"This was Space Ripple Transference," Primo said with a grin, "I can store anything in my space ripples and then transport it by coordinating that space ripple in another location. If it's bigger than my space ripple capacity, I can't store it inside."

"Can you store attacks inside?" Athan asked with curiosity.

"Nope, I can only store masterless objects. An attack has an intent and mastered energy of enemy, so I can't store it inside it," Primo shook his head, "but I feel like I should be able to do it with my Space Matrix powers. It's just; I don't know how to do it yet."

"Hmmm, your power, Lapis Lagoon, has four power traits: Connection, Cause, Effect, and Space Matrix, right? How do they work?" Athan asked.

Primo waved its paw before pulling a string that only he could see before saying," If I talk with someone, then I can see a connection string of them. It's not limited to talk, by the way. For instance..."

"Cause: I stole the Lotus from his monster, Effect: It's angry and now wants to kill me," Primo said with a grin, "now I made a connection with that monster."

*ROARRR....*

The monster in the pond jumped out; it was a crocodile with a light green diamond body and two tails.

It pointed its mouth at Primo before releasing a Destructive Spiraling orb.

Nina was surprised, "that monster wouldn't come out usual even if the Lotus was stolen. It would only attack once its prey is near it. Otherwise, it will stay underwater."

"Connect String, Twist of Cause," Primo said as he pulled a string and connected with Taezin's string before speaking towards the incoming Crocodile, "the one who stole your Lotus was not me but that monkey."

Right after that, something magical happened; the incoming destructive Spiraling Orb changed its direction. It was shooting towards Primo, but it made a sudden turn and targetted Taezin.

"Stupid Cat!" Taezin shouted angrily before wavings its bo staff towards the incoming Orb. The staff glowed and became bigger before it clashed with the Orb and blasted as he successfully nullified the attack.

"Weak monster," Primo snorted before muttering, "Space Matrix, Death by Effect."

*BOOOOOM...*

The monster was blasted into pieces before turning into motes.

"What happened?" Nina asked with a surprised expression.

"When Primo succeeded in his Twist of Cause, I felt Primo's power inside that Crocodile, which caused this explosion," Athan spoke with raised eyebrows, "what was that?"

"Nyaa! That was Twisted Space Bomb of Space Matrix. If I can succeed in changing the cause and effect using the connection I created, I can directly put a Space Matrix attack in them through a connection, which results in their almost certain death," Primo said.

"Anyway, The space Matrix is my main power since I can use the space matrix's various powers directly. The power of Cause and Effect is good, but I had a 90% of failure rate when I used it on other voidlings. As for the connection, I can use it to find people and use it to teleport using my Space Matrix."

"Oo...Oo...this cat can use Space Matrix proficiently but not Cause and Effect, hehe. We can easily resist that power with our soul essence," Taezin said with a snicker.

"Humph, even without Cause and Effect, I can still target you instantly using my Connection and Space Matrix attacks," Primo snorted.

Athan smiled and spoke, "Primo's Lapis Lagoon is really powerful. As long as he grows to become even stronger, his Cause and Effect power can be a pain in the ass for everyone."

"Nyaa! But It feels like I can't use Cause and Effect to full potential; it's as if something is blocking me," Primo cried angrily and hissed.

Athan patted Primo's head and spoke with a smile, "don't worry. As long as we continue to get strong, you can eventually use it to full potential."

"Now, let's continue," Athan said as he looked at the Lotus and observed it.

Primo, Taezin, and Pixilot handled monsters as usual while Athan asked Nina, "what's the use of this Lotus?"

"Every natural treasure has a certain amount of soul essence, but some have profound effects," Nina said with a smile, "for instance, this Lotus seems to have a profound formation's enlightenment. Refine it with soul energy and absorb it."
