Soon, he caught the familiar, ancient, and chilling aura.
It came from the deepest part of the mineral vein.
"Found you..." A cold glint flashed in Ian's eyes.
He stopped and took a Purification Crystal Cluster Tube from his Dimension Ring.
He uncorked the stopper and, with a flick of his finger, sent a single drop of pale gold liquid flying. It traced an arc through the air before falling into the depths of the vein.
The instant the liquid made contact.
BOOM!!!
A brilliant, pale gold light erupted!
Wherever the light passed, the surrounding Shadow Crystals melted away frantically, like snow under a scorching sun.
The sizzling sound of Purification echoed throughout the mineral vein.
But what was more terrifying... was that the light didn't dissipate. Instead, it began to "grow."
From an initial fist-sized ball of light, it expanded rapidly.
Delicate crystalline branches sprouted from its edges, like coral, like quartz, like a... blooming Crystal Flower.
