"This is the thirteenth attempt. It'll be the closest we've ever come to success."
While the Wild Forest Church was busy changing the color of consciousness, elsewhere in Zane Dungeon, the people of the Sparkfire Church were still fighting to conquer the Twin Gargoyles.
For some reason, although this was already their thirteenth attempt, they did not feel exhausted from the depletion of Spirit Power. On the contrary, they seemed to grow more energized the longer they fought.
Theoretically, they should all have been utterly exhausted by now, constantly on the verge of being kicked out of Zane Dungeon.
Looking around, the Starfire Knights, including Hervey, were covered in filth. Their original armor had long since been destroyed, leaving them to wear mismatched pieces of equipment dropped by various enemies. They looked no different from bandits, thugs, or even beggars. In any other dungeon, their appearance alone would qualify them as monsters.
Yet every one of their eyes burned like fire, constantly shining with startling intensity, their spirits piercing the sky like sharpened blades.
It was a strange state. How could anyone be both mentally exhausted and mentally fired up at the same time?
Yet the Starfire Knights had managed it.
This was absolutely beyond human capability. Once Spirit Power was depleted, it was depleted. Recovering Spirit Power inside a dungeon was far more difficult than usual.
So what exactly was going on?
Gong Qiying had not understood it at first, so he began observing them constantly. Eventually, he discovered something strange.
As adventurers died and revived, their spirits would actually become increasingly fatigued. When facing the same unexpected events, the Spirit Power they could unleash would gradually diminish. At that point, Zane Dungeon would prepare to kick them out, though adventurers generally chose to leave on their own before
