Chapter 194 - Energy Source
And so Kevin got up, motivated by this day that promised to be great, he dressed as usual in a simple jogging pants and went to a corner of their room to start crafting potions before Axel woke up.
He again managed to craft 15 Healing potions low grade before Axel woke up and when he called him through their telepathic link, Kevin reminded him of the deal they had made yesterday which was no sex this morning but as much as he wanted tonight.
Kevin heard Axel's grunt of frustration which made him smile and he told him that there was no way he was going to fight with a sore body.
And Axel after remembered the deal they had made last night, smirked as he finally got up. He placed a light kiss on his forehead before leaving to take his shower and during this time Kevin checked his Stats.

He hoped that after that day he would have gained several levels but now he needed a lot of experience points to be able to level up and so his progression would not be as fast as before ... Unless they came across a purple dungeon again.
But even so, they had all agreed to avoid doing one for the time being. Kevin knew that once they would be able to loot purple dungeons again their levels would increase exponentially, he just had to be patient because they were still to weak to be able to loot them right now.
He took advantage of this time alone to check his crafting potions skill block as well and saw that he still had 57 potions to craft before he could pass to level 3 potions low grade.
Kevin finally put his potions and materials away and went to prepare their breakfast.
Axel joined him shortly after and he hugged him from behind, wrapping his arms around him, he kissed him on the cheek and Kevin turned his head towards him so that he could kiss him tenderly on the lips.
Satisfied, Axel released him and set the table, and after they had finished eating and Kevin had washed and dressed in comfortable clothes so he wouldn't be embarrassed to fight, Axel told him to get fully equipped before joining the others.
And as always when he was fully equipped, he immediately felt the difference, his body became as light as a feather, his reflexes were much sharper and his raw strength thanks to his increased Stats was now at 552 points.
He was in a hurry to go and face some monsters and Axel, amused by the excitement he saw in his eyes, didn't make him wait any longer and they went together to Ian's pavilion from where they had planned to leave.
When they arrived, Kevin immediately noticed the changes in Ian's body that Liam had told them about.
Ian was unrecognizable, he was now as tall as Liam and looked even more muscular than him, Kevin didn't expect such a change so he asked Ian if he could check his stats.
Ian smirked and said : "You can always try but I'm afraid you'll have to get a lot stronger to see any of my Stats with your system now."
Kevin smirked too, glad that Ian was on their side because the aura that was emanating from him was a little scary now.
He wasted no more time and activated his perception skill and what he saw made him completely speechless.
[ STATS ]
Identification not possible when there is a level difference of more than 100 levels.
What the hell, thought Kevin, the last time he had checked Ian's stats was right after the pillar of fire appeared and back then he was the same level as Axel so level 100 .. But now that meant Ian was level 139 minimum, it was unbelievable.
He told them what he had discovered and Liam asked him to check if he could see his stats, and Kevin did so out of curiosity, but he got the same result, and Liam smiled before telling him : "It's normal that you can't see my stats, in fact I think I would have been a little offended if you had managed to.
Remember that I spent my apprenticeship years at the capital's Academy and that there, as soon as you manage to stand out, you can go and loot purple dungeons every week if you want."
Kevin frowned and asked him : "Are there that many purple dungeons near the capital ?"
Liam nodded, but it was Ian who explained to him : "The closer you get to the border between humans and demons territory, the more purple dungeons there are, the few red dungeons that appear are always near the border itself.
And the capital was built in this very place because there were many purple dungeons to loot in this area, which is why the capital is so prosperous and the palace's financial reserves are so good."
Kevin smirked and said : "Indeed it was a good strategic choice ... So if I understood correctly the further we move away from the border more the resources become limited and the dungeons instead of being purple become blue."
They all nodded and Kevin tried once again to analyze this world, if this world was as he assumed similar to a virtual reality game that would reset when the losses were too heavy, or when one side was winning but the creator of this game didn't like it, then the energy source of this world that allowed this reset should be close to the border between humans and demons territory.
And the further away from this energy source you were, the less access you had to the resources it was able to provide.
Maybe it was just a matter of getting hold of this energy source or whatever this power was to stop this seemingly endless loop of destruction.
But since he had no way to prove his theory at the moment he kept his thoughts to himself and instead he asked : "Could we have access to these purple dungeons using the short distance Teleportation Talisman papers ?"
Axel's eyes widened and he immediately said : "Babe, you know we're not strong enough to go looting purple dung..."
He stopped dead in his sentence and his smile widened as he looked at Ian and Liam and asked them with a hopeful note in his voice : "Actually with the two of you, that shouldn't be a problem anymore, right ?"
