"You should have been here fifteen minutes ago," I said without turning. "You haven't even finished making the preparations; me coming here early would have been a waste of my time," Elina said as she appeared beside me.

  "I am finished, or aren't you seeing this coffin," I said and motioned toward the huge coffin in front of me.

  "Thank god, you changed the design. That old coffin of yours used to give me creeps."

  "I don't understand why you made a healing method in shape which used to bury the dead bodies," she said directly, ignoring my question and looking at Danielle, who was looking at her in surprise.

  "So, the Micheal had been training you; no wonder you have improved so fast, Lady Danielle," Elina said, "I still couldn't compare to a young person like you, little Elina," said Danielle.

  They seemed to know about each other quite well, seeing the way they were talking to each other. I will ask about it later sometime; currently, I don't have any time for that.

  "Get in, all of you," I said, and five spaces opened in the coffin. I also seemed my seed inside Elina for better monitoring. She knew what seed was and did not react; her mother and I are the people in the world that aware of all her practice's secrets.

  She trusts us enough to know that we will never reveal her secrets to anyone, and they would be only used for her benefit.

  They did not need to be told twice; one by one, they got into the coffin, including Elina, before I closed the lid of the coffin.

  A second after closing the lead, an elaborate formation appeared on the coffin. As it did, I waved my hand, and rare and precious resources appeared over the formation, seeing that even eyes of Elina couldn't help but widen up.

  I sat top of the formation, and second, after that, a small milky white kindle of flame appeared in my hand.

  It is purified corrupted soul flame; it is now completely purified, and I am going to use it to purify their souls. The kindle is very tiny, small than a wick of the lamb but is quite powerful.

  It is Grandmaster class flame, will be able to burn their souls if I am not careful in handling it.

  Buzz!

  I placed a kindle on the tiny flower-shaped formation in front of me. As I did, the formation activated before the flames of kindle spread into the flower formation before it began spreading into the rest of the formation.

  Within a couple of seconds, the flames spread into the whole formation, begin me melt and purify the resources.

  About forty minutes later, the flame purifies and extracts the essence of all the resources before merging with it. As it did, it moved toward the five people lying inside the coffin.

  The runic formations begin to appear on the bodies of five people, each formation different, crafted according to the data I have on these five. I already have the data on my mentees; as for the new data on Elina, Ive gotten from a teacher whom Ive yet met two days ago.

  Ahhhhhh…


  Soon, a burning while-violet formation appeared on the bodies of five of them, and the next second, their screams began.

  Purification couldn't be without pain; it is natural since I am extracting the impurities from their soul.

  I muted their screams as I controlled the formations while watching the changes that were happening to them. First, there was barely anything, but as time passed by, more and more changes began to appear on them, and most of them were positive.

  There are some negative changes, but they are easily manageable and could be fixed immediately.

  Half an hour passed, and impurities began to come out; they are of different colors, and the ones coming out from the Ida were invisible. These impurities are useless but dangerous seeing their level, so I storing them to destroy them later.

  Time passed, and soon it was an hour since the purification began, and the process I far from over. The fire is dangerous, and I take things slow; there is no reason to take risks when things are going well.

  Another hour passed, and purification ruines began to recede Neena; a few minutes later, runes receded from Ida.

  It took half an hour before runes on Leonard receded and three minutes after runes on Danielle began to recede. It took another thirty-five minutes before the runes on Elina began to recede.

  Elina had Bloodline core, and even with all the resources in the world, it is quite hard to follow her progress.

  She is a peak Master, but even Rhea would not be her match. The power provided by the core is immense in that it helps one bend the rules to a certain degree; it wasn't much hard for those with the core to have the power of Grandmasters while still being Master.

  Though they would still not be able to compare to me even with all the advantages their cores provide to them.

  "Damn, it was quite painful, but I could feel the purification had helped me tremendously," Elina said and released some of her aura that made Ida and Neena take a step back while great surprise couldn't help but appear on the face of Danielle and Leonard.

  "As usual, Micheal, you are amazing as ever," she said before her eyes blazed with fighting spirit.

  "It has been quite a while since I have beaten you; this seemed to be a good place to have a round of the fight," Elina said as she looked at me invitingly.

  "Sure, but do you really want to?" I asked with a smile and faintly released some of my aura.

  Elina, who had just opened her mouth to reply, froze on her spot with her mouth hanging open and eyes. She looked quite shocked, more than I had imagined it to be, and she is not the only one.

  My mentees are also looking at me with their eye wide open. Neena even looked like she might fall unconscious with shock.

  "No wonder mother was in such a happy mood despite the grim conditions of the hospital," Elina said, "You have told mother about your breakthrough, aren't you?" She said, and I nodded at that.

  Aside from the higher-ups in the Pyramid, only two people knew about my breakthrough, my father and teacher.
