Almond and Lily met up with Lyna and others at the intended time and went for another day of hunting.
Almond and Lily took things leisurely, instead of being in "focused" mode, they stayed "exploration" and "peaceful" mode during the expeditions.
This time, the group managed to harvest three Immortal Emperor Monsters before finally encountering trouble with a bigger party and mix of Monsters.
Both parties had to retreat, except for Almond, Lily, and Raicanor, who killed the five Immortal Emperor Abyss Sea monsters that had gathered.
Lyna and others saw that the trio didn't return with them this time too.
"Yeah, no. They must have a hella powerful artifact if they are deliberately extending their stay."
"Whatever it is, it doesn't matter."
"Maybe it's like only three people can use it or something?"
"Maybe, but what's the harm in telling us about it, no?"
Lyna coughed and silenced the talks, "They will show if they want. And I got Ivy's voice right before we left, so we'll meet up with them at yesterday's bar. Let's go."

Almond and Lily didn't linger longer after killing the five Emperor-rank Monsters.
Almond put Lily and Raicanor before using the token and arrived back at the ship.
After meeting up with Lyna and the party, everyone drank and ate before Almond and Lily went back to their Sky Pearl Palace and had fun at the casino.
There was also a massage parlor that cost big bucks for the comfortable massage techniques, but Almond instead scanned and learned their techniques before he and Lily had private massage sessions at their island residence.
They also increased their stock of High-tier Arcane Crystal again thanks to the bodies of five Emperor-rank Monsters.
Thanks to the exotic environment of the mysterious archipelago, Almond and Lily also meditated daily to look at the strange phenomenon to obtain random insights.
Days passed by in this leisure with daily expeditions with Lyna's party and having fun on their own.
By the time they found it boring and felt like going somewhere else, fifteen days had passed by.
They didn't waste time once making their decision and left the Azureprism Cosmos the next day. They had experienced its specialty, the Floating Abyss Sea, so there wasn't anything else to explore in this cosmos.
The only difference was that they gained much insights in various things and had their pockets filled with 13 million High-tier Arcane Crystals.
Their next destination was the Battlesong Cosmos, the #6th Cosmos of the second layer, and home to one of the Big Ten clans.
Almond decided to bring Natalia and others to this cosmos after changing their appearance as well. Using his Seeker Keymaker's key, he directly opened the door to the designated area of Planet Earth and returned before bringing all of them back to the Battlesong Cosmos.
The specialty of this cosmos was the reason it was named Battlesong.
This cosmos had no concept of general sound. Everything had special sound effects. Even when two powerhouses fights, a battle of song also takes places with both of their moves and fight producing songs defining their current state of mind and skill, and power.
Natalia's first Ability Tree was Bard of Chaosbound Serenador and the second one was Purple Mirage Witchcraft.
Natalia was sure to improve in Bardo of Chaosbound Serenador due to the specialty of the Battlesong Cosmos.
Moreover, Natalia, Maya, Marcus, Emma, Kira, and Noah had suffered a lot and could use some enjoyment alongside natural imrpovement in this cosmos.
The group stayed on a rather luxurious planet with their daily cost reaching 50,000 high-tier Arcane Crystals in total for everyone.
It was indeed a lot, but worth it. The phenomena of songs, and a special place called Singing Mountain in this cosmos where natural songs would manifest with colorful arcane phenomena was utterly beautiful and beneficial.
Singing Mountain's size stretched 100,000 kilometers tall, so it was an utterly humongous mountain floating in space with its peak touching the ceiling. Naturally, touching that ceiling meant death and unless one was a superb powerful Supreme Emperor, it was impossible to observe the ultimate arcane phenomena that were only available at the peak.
During the next fourteen days, everyone spent time climbing the mountain. The Big Ten clan here had the entire mountain filled iwth check points and structures every 1000 kilometers of height, so peopel could stay at top-class residence facilities and have food while enjoying the mountain.
As everyone was having fun, Almond and Lily also finished building the second Bloodline Ability of Regalon on the third day after reaching the decision on what to go with.
Unlike Regalon Spirit Armament which allowed each Regalon to create their armor-set and a weapon with four different unique abilities slotted periodically depending on their hunt using spirits, this second ability was the same for everyone in a sense.
This Bloodline ability could be used to directly sacrifice their gathered Spirits temporary cause their Regalon Spirit Armament to become temporary berserk, giving them 50% to 100% of the stat boost and extra buffs deoending on depending on sacrificed Spirits.
Simple, but effective. Almond wanted to prioritize overall power-up and let the skills and combat ability of each person do the talk in combat rather than having one-activation trump-card type Bloodline Ability.
Using Bloodline Abilities required Bloodline Essence, but Regalon's specialty was acquiring Bloodline essence from their hunts, while the consumption was also per minute, making it low and sustainable for long combat.
Such a Bloodline was the envy of many, as it had already halfway entered the Geneline realm because of how Almond created it.
The Singing Mountain also had strong monsters attuned to nature here like in Floating Abyss Sea.
Almodn and Lily had gatehred tons of Immortal Emperor spirits already, and everyone also did the same here daily by climbing up, enjoying, and hunting.
There wasn't any restriction or specialty in Monsters here like Abyss Sea monsters, so Almond created tons of True Spirits.
Naturally, their wealth also decreased daily as they had no way to earn big amounts like in Floating Sea Abyss.
Ten days later, Natalia and the others wanted to leave and focus on improving themselves because they gained so much insight and opportunity to expand their experience on the Singing Mountain.
On the other hand, Almond and Lily decided to spend five more days to try reaching the peak of the mountain before ending their vacation.
