In a flash, Sebastian dodged the sword energy. Spinning around, he saw a blurry figure with a longsword in its hand.
Whether it was the figure or the sword, both were made of pure, condensed energy. Sebastian reckoned that it was a combat pixie.
The combat pixie launched another attack after the first one failed. This time, Sebastian didn't dodge and released a formless sword energy.
Along with a loud bang, the combat pixie's sword was shattered. Then, the combat pixie shattered as well, turning into a ball of light that quickly dispersed.
After the combat pixie disappeared, it left behind a crystal the size of a thumb. Sebastian reached out and caught the crystal in his palm.
The crystal was almost transparent and looked like a regular crystal, but it contained pure soul energy within.
"It looks like this is the soul crystal of a combat pixie."
Two days ago, Sebastian had read some information about combat pixies and knew that their soul crystals were full of pure soul energy.
After absorbing the soul energy, the soul prowess could be increased, and soul prowess was mental prowess.
Sebastian wanted to try refining the soul crystal, but before he could even start, another combat pixie appeared behind him.
Combat pixies appeared from thin air without any signs. The main reason Sebastian could sense it right away was because he felt a sense of danger.
However, he was composed. Turning around quickly, he released a sword energy, and the combat pixie burst into pieces with a bang.
The strength of these combat pixies were equivalent to one-star demigod, which was the cultivation level of everyone else now. It wasn't easy for cultivators to deal with the combat pixies which were on the same level as themselves.
Nevertheless, Sebastian practiced the dual cultivation method, and his active and passive energies were powerful. Whether he was facing a combat pixie or cultivator of the same level, he could defeat them in a snap.
He collected another piece of soul crystal after defeating a combat pixie. Seizing the opportunity when the combat pixie had just vanished, he grabbed the energy which had yet to disappear and circulated his energy to refine it.
Once again, the combat pixies appeared, and there were three of them this time, attacking him from different angles.
Unafraid, Sebastian easily avoided their joint attack in a flash and released a few sword energies. There were three sounds of explosions, and all three combat pixies were shattered.
They left behind three soul crystals, which were obviously bigger than the last, and had a purer soul energy. This was expected. After all, the combat pixies on the second floor were two-star demigods.
Two-star demigods were much stronger than one-star demigods. For a regular cultivator, defeating even one of them was a tough task.
If Alfie was caught in the situation earlier, he would have to go through a tough battle to defeat a combat pixie.
Meanwhile, Sebastian continued forward.
From time to time, combat pixies would appear. Sometimes, there would only be one of them. At other times, five or six of them would appear together.
