Jack looked around the place. He wondered if Yvok and his people were okay. That old satyr had a connection with Pandora. If they needed help, Yvok would contact Pandora, just like he did in the incident with Luna.
Jack asked Peniel, "This is the same region as when we came to the underworld the first time, right?"
"Yes. But as I mentioned, Pandora cannot pinpoint the exact spot when she crossed the planes. It is the same region but a different place."
Jack opened his map. Around him was mostly grey. "Do you know which direction is the spot where we met the Amphipterelet?"
"You want to hunt that monster?" Peniel asked.
Jack nodded. "They are easy to kill for a draconic monster. Easier even than the drakeling. I can get lots of draconic essences if I hunt them en masse."
The only other place where he could farm draconic essences efficiently was inside one of the portals in Greed's sanctum. But he couldn't exactly go back to that place, could he? Greed might have installed a stronger barrier after his escape. Even Pandora might not be able to pierce the barrier now.
"They do come in packs, but the Amphipterelets don't just travel by themselves, you know. There can be other monsters accompanying them," Peniel explained.
"Are those monsters draconic as well?" Jack asked.
"Usually."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Jack finally found the coordinates he had input in the map when he first entered the underworld. Jack pointed and Pandora sprinted in that direction. Ever since Pandora upgraded, her fear aura had become stronger. Nearby underworld monsters, which previously resisted her aura, were now running away once she came near.
With her improved speed, she arrived at the destination in a short time. Jack saw a pack of six Amphipterelets. These Amphipterelets, which were not afraid of Pandora before, now also ran in the opposite direction after seeing her.
Jack couldn't farm essences if these monsters ran away from him, so he unsummoned Pandora. He then rushed to the pack.
Same as before, it didn't take long for Jack to kill the six Amphipterelets. They ranged from level 50 to 55. All of them elite grades. He received 2 draconic essences from each of them.
He looked at his radar and saw many more red dots moving around. He could visually see the closest ones. they were Amphipterelets as well. He headed over without delay.
Jack summoned Therras so it could benefit from the exp as well. Together with Therras, Jack mowed down pack after pack.
As Peniel mentioned, there were other monsters around this place. Amphiptere, the adult version of Amphipterelet. They were larger and stronger. These draconic monsters were special elite grades and their levels ranged from 60 to 70.
They spat venom for a long-range attack. They could also coil around their targets and render them immobile. Since these Amphiptere always traveled with a pack of Amphipterelets, this binding technique turned their target into a punching bag for the Amphipterelets.

But considering Jack could contend with a mythical creature already, these monsters posed no challenge.
While farming, Jack also encountered Amphiptere which was a rare elite grade.
These rare elite Amphipteres had a special attack where their bodies stiffened as they shot forward at high speed. They became as if a bolt shot from a ballista, with their two wings turning into sharp blades that cut everything they passed through.
This special attack incurred high damage and also ignored a large portion of defense. Luckily, Therras took the first shot when one of these Amphipteres performed its special attack. Therras had high HP and high defense so it was not a problem. After seeing the attack, Jack paid attention to not getting hit by these special attacks.
As long as he didn't get skewered by the special attacks, he defeated this rare elite Amphiptere with ease.
The special elite Amphipteres gave Jack 10 draconic essences while the rare elite ones gave Jack 30 draconic essences.
He continued to farm the draconic monsters happily in the area.
Peniel warned him to not venture too far from the area. This area they were in could be considered one of the areas with the lowest level in the underworld. Thinking that this underworld was supposed to be post-game content for the original game, Jack did think the Amphipterelets here to be rather lacking.
On the second day, as his farming pace increased and he traveled further out to look for more draconic monsters, he found several large dark red dots on his radar. Out of curiosity, he approached carefully. With his enhanced vision, he saw one of the monsters these dark red dots represented.
It was a dragonet with black skin and crooked horns. Its wings seemed to be made of shadow. Its shadowy wings constantly emitted smoke that shrouded the dragonet. The dragonet also seemed to turn intangible at an interval.
Since Jack dared not approach to use his Inspect, he asked Peniel about the dragonet. Peniel informed him the monster was a shadow dragonet. The ones in this region were mostly rare elites and around level 80, but there could be some which were mythical grades.
Even the level 80 rare elite was probably too strong for him already, so he retreated after satisfying his curiosity. He chose to be patient and waited for the Amphipteres and Amphipterelets in the area to respawn.
One of the days, he also noticed from his radar a group of red dots crossing at high speed not far from his position. Seeing that, he hid and let his Cloak of Shadow turn him invisible. He then saw a squad of high demons fly past the sky.
Those high demons must be part of the underworld empire. He was glad he hid. Even if he could take on those demons, his presence here might get reported. If that happened, he could no longer farm draconic essences here.
Algerad and Xelvorath must have surely reported to Mammon about the human outworlder responsible for his son's death. He was for certain the only human outworlder to enter the underworld at this period. The news of a human outworlder around this place would surely draw Mammon here.
Hence, Jack continued farming while paying attention to his radar. Making sure that no demon squads caught him unaware.
