Since it was a Rare rank Fallen Rune, the effects lasted for only a two minutes so Lenny had to be quick.
Killing them all within that short timeframe or repeating the process again.
He chose the first, he returned his Grade 2 Fallen Relics back into the dimension storage.
He pulled out his Myriad Shooters.
Making use of them to quicken the process, multiple gunshots resounded across the air simultaneously.
[You've slain a Level 5…..]
Lenny ignored the whispers of the Fallen System as he continued raining bullets against the monsters.
Once the timer was up, the surviving Apocalypse creatures were free to move again.
[Rune Mastery: 15%]
Lenny repeated the process once again, rendering them incapacitated before killing them all.
The moment he was done, he redrew the Myriad Shooters, keeping them back in his dimension storage.
Lenny struggled to catch his breath, "Even Fallen Regulators do get tired huh?" He softly exhaled.
A bright smile appeared on his lips, "I killed so many, I should check out my current Informations" He grinned.
He summoned the status window of the Fallen System.

Lenny's eyes gleamed with excitement "90/100? That meant I gained 90sp tonight" He smiled.
"I just need 10 more sp to advance to middle-stage, my evolution might be slow but it's not impossible"
"I'll reach Rank 3 within a year," Lenny spoke with confidence as his shadow clone rounded up the corpses of the Apocalypse creatures he had slain.
His shadow was digging mass graves for them, they would be Lenny's future source of income.
He would be returning after the expedition was over.
He decided to check his Fallen Runes.

Lenny exhaled a soft sigh, he nodded "This is good progress, My Stats are still stagnant for now"
"I guess I might be able to increase it when I advance to the middle stage," He thought. "For now, let's focus on this," He stated.
Lenny observed his surroundings, before opening his dimension storage, he counted the mana stones in his collection.
"More than thirty mana stones huh? This is wealth" Lenny's eyes gleamed with excitement.
In the true Fallen Realm, all Fallen Creatures possess a core generator which acts as a substitute for mana cores which Fallen Regulators and Awakeners possess.
This generators were classified according to the rank of the Fallen creatures, core generators belonging to the Common rank Apocalypse creatures were classified as mana stones.
While core generators belonging to the Wanderer rank Apocalypse creatures were classified as mana crystals.
Generators of the Nightwalkers rank were classified as emerald stones, with core generators of the Nightmare rank being emerald crystals.
Core generators of the Titan rank were known as Spirit stones, core generators of the Evil Spirit rank were classified as Spirit crystals.
Core generators of the Demon rank were regarded as the highest, classified as Unholy crystals.
They were extremely rare to find and cost a lot.
A Mana stone in the Association's market costs around $5,000, while it's sold for $7,000 in the black market.
While one Mana crystal costs around $10,000 in the Association's market, it's sold at $15,000 in the black market.
Emerald stones cost around $20,000 in the Association market, and sold in black market for $25,000
Emerald crystals are sold for $30,000 in the Association market and cost around $35,000 in the black market.
The price of a Spirit stone starts from $50,000 up to $70,000 depending on the market.
They were expensive thanks to their rarity.
While the black market price is nearly doubled, Spirit crystals were even more expensive.
A single Spirit crystal is sold for $1000,000 in the Association market, the price in black market remains unknown.
No one has ever sold an Unholy crystal before, so the price has never been recorded in history.
While mana stones are used construct and advance humanity's technologies to the next level.
They were also used for cultivation.
Increasing one's lifespan, one mana stone equals five years' worth of lifespan for the Fallen Regulator.
A mana crystal is ten years' worth of lifespan for the Fallen Regulator.
An emerald stone equals twenty years' worth of lifespan, with an emerald crystal granting a Fallen Regulator fifty years worth of lifespan.
A single spirit stone equals a hundred years worth of lifespan while a spirit crystal is worth two hundred years.
Although it's still a rumor but it's believed that cultivating an Unholy crystal is akin to having eternal life.
They could only be used by Fallen Regulators, this strategy is the reason why there are Fallen Regulators in this world who are more than two hundred years old and still living amongst men.
Lenny joined his shadow clone to dig more graves, burying the remains of dead Apocalypse creatures.
It took them more than an hour to complete the process.
While digging, they were also actively keeping out for any Apocalypse creatures drawing near.
"We are done for the day," Lenny sighed. He glanced at his shadow clone, "Let's return to the Sanctuary," He instructed.
Lenny stared at the graves one last time, "They should be done with what they're doing already, and must be waiting for me" Lenny said.
The young boy appeared beside him, Lenny recalled his shadow clone back, reverting it's living status.
Making his clone a shadow once again..
He was left with only the young boy who ran with him as they hurried back to the Telvian Sanctuary.
The young boy stared at Lenny for a second, "Have you devised a plan yet?" He asked.
Lenny shook his head, "As you can see, I was too busy for all that. I need to master the Rune of Shadows to open a new slot." He sighed.
The young boy nodded, "You have two sides to deal with, and don't forget about the head of this Sanctuary"
Lenny scowled, "I get it, alright, there's no need to remind me what I must do," He spat out.
The young boy scoffed, he shrugged, "You know sometimes you're dumb, so I thought it's best to remind you bro"
Lenny rolled his eyes, "Between you and me? I know I'm dumb, but you're dumber than me" He grinned.
The young boy's gaze darkened, "Is that so? Why don't we make a bet?" He asked..
Lenny raised an eyebrow, "A bet? About what?" He asked.
The young boy took a deep breath, "During the expedition, when it's time to kill the K&B party, leave it to me"
Lenny raised an eyebrow, "Huh?" He was stunned, "And what exactly is an hallucination capable of doing?" He asked.
The young boy scoffed, "I've told you repeatedly, we are not hallucinations but you wouldn't listen"
He folded his arms, staring deep into Lenny's eyes, "Just trust me Lenny, if you must handle the Cultist and clear the Dungeon"
"Leave the K&B party to me, I'll kill them myself"
