"I will be going out by myself today… you all, don't step out from this hut until I return," Viktor reminded the group.

However, his bodyguards stopped him once again.

"Young master, please let us accompany you!" Boris said, standing up in protest. Not only had the bodyguard fully healed from yesterday's wound, but he was also full of energy.

Viktor did not know if it was just his imagination, but Boris seemed to look even better than before he was injured.

The others, too, were taken aback when they saw how energetic Boris was.

Reminded of the spirit stones Boris consumed the night before, Viktor checked his stats.

[Boris Oslo]

[Male - 31 years old] 𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁．𝓬𝓸𝓂

[Battle Power: 18]

[Mortal realm - initial stage]

One point...

Viktor saw that the three spirit stones were able to increase Boris' battle power by another one point, making it reach 18 points. It appeared that one spirit stone did not equal one battle power, and he was sure that the stronger they were, the more spirit stones they would need to increase their strength.

With more spirit stones, his bodyguard would eventually be more useful for him, but at the moment, it was still better to go by himself.

The explanation that Viktor gave them was that he had consumed plenty of spirit stones before, hence he was confident to go alone. He had no intention of telling them about the Djinn or the magic lamp, and he probably never will.

Boris and Torri insisted on coming with him, but he reminded them that there were still Barry and Eva to protect, and in the end, the two bodyguards relented.

The decision was final. Everyone was reluctant to agree, but they all knew that once Viktor made a decision, nothing they said would be able to change his mind.

Viktor took his desert eagle gun and put the special dagger on his waist. As for the saber, he left it to Boris as protection in case they encountered trouble.

Once again, he reminded them not to leave the hut until he returned.

"Especially you, Eva. Stay here patiently, okay?"

The girl nodded obediently.

After Viktor walked out of the hut, he took the time to check his stats.

[Strength - 17]

[Agility - 31]

[Endurance - 28]

[Battle Power - 25]

[Spirit Force - 26]

[Mortal realm - high stage]

Ideally, Viktor should kill enough to push his spirit force to 30 and hopefully reach the next stage today. With that, he was also hoping to get more bonus points and as many spirit stones as possible.

When he found out that Boris was able to have his battle power increased simply by eating a stone, he quickly inquired to the Djinn.

"Djinn... I can also consume those spirit stones, right?"
