The air inside Demoraka Mines was thick with ancient dust and dormant magic. Jasface stood at the edge of the excavation zone, voice echoing through the chamber.
"Team Twisted Edge—begin your Dig Quest."
Status Update – Private
Quest Begins: Dig
Objective: Excavate 200 meters downward
Time Limit: None
Record to Beat: Tune Techs – 3 minutes
Vestora's eyes narrowed. He turned to his teammates.
"I have a plan. We'll break the record."
He activated his system:
"Status: Aether Weapon → Folding Fan of High Draw."
The fan shimmered in his hand, its aura silently boosting skill draw probabilities. Vestora raised it high.
"I've buffed us. Now I'll forge tools."
Using Aether manipulation, he conjured three spectral shovels, each attuned to their wielder's affinity.
"Leraka—mark the depth using Ghost Mode. Bianca—use High Counter Wave–0 to trace the tunnel with water pressure. When the tide hits midpoint, we'll know we're done."
Skill Activations

Leraka

She launched a water beam downward, tracing the tunnel with precision. As the wave surged back, it confirmed the depth.
Vestora nodded.
"Perfect. We've marked it. Now—dig."
The trio began excavating with synchronized strikes, empowered by their crafted shovels and buffed precision.
Quest Completion Time: 2 minutes 47 seconds
Record Broken
Shock rippled through the mines. Even Jasface raised an eyebrow.
"Unbelievable. You've shattered the record."
As the dust settled, Status Boards across Team Twisted Edge began to glow—each member receiving private updates.

Lareka braces her stance: "High Counter Wave – Zero!"
Vestora raises a polished Aether Mirror:
"Strike this mirror—the flow will guide the power to its real target."
As gem storm chaos brews, Vestora unleashes King's Crown, reshaping Aether into a glittering illusion—a giant fake gemstone.
Vestora: "Listen, gems! Move into this bag— we're under siege!"
Against all logic, the gemstones obey, flowing like enchanted spirits, following the command as if alive.
