It is already getting dark

Seeing many of his companions trapped in the ice, the rest of them decide to flee. But Nicola from afar does not let them escape and emits thunder power towards them. The water-filled bodies are electrocuted and they fall to the ground writhing. "Do you think you could attack my two pupils like that and come out alive in my sight?" Nicola snorted. "Only in your dreams."

[You have leveled up. Level 33]

Nicola looked at the leveling warning with little surprise, it was a long time since he was close to the next level break, so he could go up at any time. The two recovered from the attack quickly broke the ice statues, leaving the body parts on the road.

"That was close, boys, but I will not always be here to help you. Kin, you may not always have the basic knowledge to fight everyone, sometimes the exception can make all the difference, you are too dependent on your fire element to attack, I understand that among his affinities he has the most direct damage power, but if he had attacked with his metal affinity at important points, he would have been more successful against them. Focus more on your studies and your other skills."

"And you Gin, what you know is compensated by the lack of combat training, in large groups like this it would have been much more useful for you to attack a few enemies at a time than to spend a lot of time trying to freeze them all at once, this could have caused the death of your brother. Remember small attacks work best for large groups." Nicola instructed the two young.

"Yes Master!" The two said in unison.

Kin quickly removed Antoniette from the space bracelet and had his army of ants collect the cores of the monsters. Small silver ants that looked like they were made of mercury came out of the compartment in the puppet's abdomen, they chewed into the green flesh and came back with a green nucleus inside the bodies, quickly forming a small mound in front of Nicola, who pocketed the core and the placed them in a common dimensional ring.

He looked at the pieces of monsters on the floor and had an idea, he quickly ordered the ants to collect the remains of the bodies and absorbed them in the space artifact stuck in his hair. "We will find a place to sleep, it is already getting dark" Nicola said. So he looked for a place and ended up finding a cave in the same rocks that the cactus men hid.
