Emery reappeared in the crossover alongside the nine magus, and his safe return with the group was met with a collective sigh of relief and muted applause. The knowledge that they had managed to gather extra gold medals and kill off many dark elves in the process boosted their morale.
With six hours remaining before the next gate would open, the magus resumed their shard absorption. The atmosphere at the crossover was one of concentration and determination. Each magus focused on channeling the celestial energy from the shards into their own beings, enhancing their power and abilities.
Eeshoo, the Nephilim genius, was diligently working on his understanding of the Law of Light, aiming to achieve double half-moon status before the next battle. He had made significant progress, reaching 14% comprehension, but the road to mastery was still ahead of him. Mahinder, on the other hand, had set his sights on becoming a full moon magus but was currently at 26% comprehension in the Law of Holiness. Both were dedicated to their goals and spent their time in the crossover honing their skills.
Neo and the other five bodyguards contribute their celestial shards to Jinkan, their benefactor. Jinkan, as a young master of the faction family, had a similar focus on self-improvement through the absorption of celestial shards. Emery noted that this was a common practice among those in influential positions, often bringing hired bodyguards to aid in their advancement. He couldn't help but wonder about the specific Law of Light comprehension that Jinkan was pursuing, as she kept it well-hidden.
Emery found a quiet corner in the cavern where he intended to absorb his share of celestial shards. His current progress in the Law of Light stood at 12%, and he was determined to achieve his second halfmoon breakthrough, a significant milestone that promised to boost his strength considerably. Focusing solely on this goal, he took the eight medium-sized light shards he had recently acquired from the dark elves and prepared to absorb them simultaneously.
The process required a substantial mental effort, drawing upon the mental power he had gained from the [Emperor Focus]. Extracting the fragments of memory left by the celestials was a taxing endeavor, but Emery was resolute. As he absorbed all eight shards at once, he experienced a surge of sensations and visuals. Visions of a colossal being, standing at a towering 20 meters in height, filled his mind. This entity exuded immense power and commanded the reverence of all beings, including both elves and humans. Whispers of unknown significance brushed against Emery's consciousness, but he struggled to decipher their meaning amidst the sensory overload.
Throughout the hours-long absorption process, Emery's nature core underwent exponential growth, mirroring his advancing comprehension of the Law of Light. The profound experience left him both physically and spiritually transformed, bringing him closer to his goal of mastering the law of light.

Emery's efforts to absorb the remaining shards took longer than he had initially anticipated. More than four hours had elapsed, and it was nearly time for the gate to open once more. Realizing that he wouldn't have enough time to achieve the breakthrough he desired, Emery decided to pay a visit to the Khaos gate.
As he arrived at the gate, he observed the Chizpur brothers diligently absorbing the medium-sized light shards. Twik, his enigmatic little friend, had been unusually quiet during the absorption process, and Emery couldn't help but wonder about the implications of this change.
However, Emery's primary reason for visiting the Khaos gate was to inspect his collection of dark elves' spirit souls. His previous hunt had yielded 50 of these spirit souls, and he now pondered how best to handle them. This growing collection presented him with both opportunities and challenges, and he needed to formulate a plan for their use.
Emery realized that extensive use of his Spirit Devour ability had caused a significant amount of spirit energy to cloud his primal core. To address this issue, he decided to revert to using his Spirit Absorption ability. Though the progress was slow, Emery could feel his damaged core gradually recovering. This recovery resulted in an expansion of his overall soul force.

Receiving this notification further motivated Emery to maximize his gains during the expedition. He realized that there were other types of items to collect beyond shards and medals, and he was determined to make the most of the opportunity presented to him.
As his time for absorption came to an end, Jinkan called everyone to prepare for the next guardian battle.
To Emery's surprise, a crowd of approximately 1,200 magus had assembled for the guardian battle. This indicated that around 200 magus had obtained medals from other vaults and had specifically chosen the Light Vaults as the location for this crucial encounter. What stood out was the significant presence of elves among the participants.
Among this multitude of magus, nearly half were elves. The gathering comprised 250 high elves, 300 dark elves, and 100 wood elves.
Once again, the elves dominated the expedition, showcasing their unity and strength. Emery couldn't help but notice the dozens of dark elves who stared at him with intense anger. His previous actions had significantly diminished their numbers, yet he couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment at their remaining presence. He resolved to seek out further confrontations with dark elves in other vaults, hoping to reduce their numbers even further.
The tension among the magus escalated as all knew there would only be 500 medals available to enter the 6th layer. The competition for these coveted medals was bound to be fierce, and the magus prepared themselves for the upcoming guardian battle with a sense of anticipation and apprehension.
