Qin Ruo quickly took out several Heaven Peal Beasts along the way toward the two herbs that were glowing near the mountain wall. The herb released a thin steam, its leaves glowed with a glaring ruby red. This must be the Volcanic Essence that Edgar mentioned. And there were also these two herbs in the volcano due to the extremely harsh condition for plant lives.

However, there was also something else that Qin Ruo did not expect to see. There was also a huge golden treasure chest that was shut tight, placed behind a massive stone-made throne.

“Darn. If only I brought the Bandit with me.”

Qin Ruo felt so regretful at that moment.

This was the lair of an Ultimate Boss. So, there must be a huge collection of treasure waiting to be collected–Divinities and legendary grade equipment. All these would definitely worth a lot more than the teeny weeny Volcanic Essences.

Too bad, without the aid of a bandit, Qin Ruo had no choice but to forfeit these treasures.

Qin Ruo involuntarily dashed into the cave and approached the ruby herbs while having Poochie to guard the entrance. He quickly activated his gathering skills to harvest the herbs. As he was harvesting them, he could not help but grumble at the golden treasure chest.

“Oh for fuck’s sake, why do only the Bandits get to own the Lockpicking skill? This is so not fair!”

***

Roaar!!!

A deafening roar of the Heaven Peal Lion was heard. Its MP had now been expended to the last drop but the lion was still holding its ground firmly. Accompanied by a group of Heaven Peal Beasts, the Heaven Peal Lion kept ramming furiously at everything that was in their way inside the volcano. Countless Skeleton Dragons and Vampires were body-slammed into pieces.

The Heaven Peal Beasts were supporting the lion in various ways. Some of them were guarding the corner that they were at. Some of them were tailing it and ramming their bodies into the enemies, helping their king to defeat its enemies.

Despite this, their disadvantage against the Specters was still glaringly obvious. As time passed, their number gradually dwindled.

Their downfall was just a matter of time.

***

After a minute…

Qin Ruo finally got his hands on the two Volcanic Essences as Poochie guarded the entrance. And Poochie was good at it too. There were a few vampires poking their heads near the cave they were at sometimes, but they were immediately chased out by the super Shadowfox Poochie!

Indeed, there was a large number of vampires invading the volcano. However, only a handful of them noticed the cave. So, these vampires’ attacks were not able to even make Poochie flinch. Their attacks all either missed their targets or were entirely nullified.

And after half a minute, three powerful freezing Frost Bullets shot out from the cave.

After a few loud clangs, several Vampires were shredded by the powerful flying ice and dropped in front of Poochie. Seeing this, Poochie excitedly chirped as it ran out of the cave to destroy the vampires that were unlucky enough to fall in front of him. Qin Ruo stepped out of the cave and observed the skirmish.

The volcano’s vent was now entirely blocked by swarms of Undead. Skeleton Dragons and Vampires were still storming into the belly of the volcano in droves and he could still see some Undead being blocked at the entrance.

As for the Heaven Peal Beasts, their number had dwindled so much that their chance of winning the skirmish had turned grimmer and grimmer.

‘It’s time!’

Qin Ruo’s Angelic Wings started to glimmer into dusts of lights and vanished into thin air. Then, Qin Ruo’s body became liquefied—only by relying on Aquamorph that he could stay hidden in the cave without being detected by the monsters.

After he paid close attention to the noise outside, a huge weight was relieved from Qin Ruo’s shoulder—after deactivating his Angelic Wings, the Specters were starting to retreat from the volcano.

The ones that were flying outside of the volcano even started to elevate to higher altitude, preparing to leave./updated by vipnovel.com

It would be a matter of time before all these Specters would be gone. And then, it would be his golden opportunity to take on the Heaven Peal Lion one-on-one.

However, it would still take a bit of time before Heaven Peal Lion took out every single Specter that was still lingering in the volcano.

Then, as Qin Ruo was scanning the area using his Elemental Perception for more potential threats, he saw that golden treasure chest again. Then, suddenly he had an idea. Qin Ruo quickly rushed to the back of the stone throne.

As he stared at the chest’s keyhole, Qin Ruo was able to imagine the shape that was inside. As he raised his liquefied arm toward the treasure chest, he inhaled then turned his arm into elongated water elements and put them into the keyhole.

That was his idea.

He could use the morphing abilities of his Aquamorph to fill his hand into the keyhole and reach the mechanical parts inside to pick the treasure chest’s lock.

Unfortunately, even though he could fill in the keyhole, he could not turn the lock with his liquefied arm—water elements were too soft to turn the lock.

After several attempts, Qin Ruo still could not get the lock to budge.

‘Oh, come on! There must be something I could do!’

Qin Ruo was unwilling to let it go just yet. So, he morphed his hand smaller and probed deeper…

Suddenly! A few system messages rang in his ears.

Acquired a Holy-type Divinity Crystal!

Acquired Augusta’s Radiant Chest Plate!

Acquired…

“…”

As the system notifications continued to ring, Qin Ruo’s face expression slowly turned from being surprised to joy. He also knew what was going on too as his Elemental Perception was still activated.

As his liquefied arm reached toward the treasures in the treasure chest, everything that it touched was sent straight into his Ring of Honor’s inventory space, like it swallowed the treasures whole.

In mere moments, everything that was in the treasure chest was now absorbed into Qin Ruo’s Ring of Honor: Equipment, Mana Cores, gold coins, everything!

After confirming that there was nothing else in the treasure chest anymore, Qin Ruo then retracted his arm and stood up with great delight. He could not help but think, ‘How did I never consider this? With this ability, I could get any treasures from any treasure chest! This is much better than the Bandit’s lock picking skill!’

As he was overjoyed with his new discovery and loot, Qin Ruo heard a thundering roar outside of the cave. It would seem that the battle out there was about to end. Therefore, he did not have time to deal with the joy of discovering a new technique of using his Elementalism. He immediately activated his Darkfrost Shield and Frostbarrier after dissolving his Aquamorph, and rushed out of the cave!

***

As he stepped out of the cave, the first thing he noticed was the brighter surrounding.

The Specters were basically all but wiped out. Corpses of Heaven Peal Beasts, Vampires were literally everywhere in the volcano. There were also pieces of dragon skeletons and equipment piling up all over the place. It was a mess.

And the battle between the Undead and Heaven Peal Beasts was basically over.

As Qin Ruo cautiously eyed the wounded Heaven Peal Beasts below the hovering Heaven Peal Lion, he saw something that made him worried.

When he first ventured down to the volcano, he did notice that there were several types of Heaven Peal Beasts. There were violet ones, blue ones, and also the red ones. Now, the surviving Heaven Peal Beasts were all red.

These red Heaven Peal Beasts were apparently the strongest amongst their race. In addition to that, there were still about hundreds of them left and every single one of them was Tier 6. These would surely put up a fight later.

Qin Ruo frowned and flew up into the sky. Several water ramparts started to form around him as Heaven Peal Lion was still eliminating the Specters that were still flying above the volcano vent.

Qin Ruo could not afford to allow some other variables to exist inside the volcano that could affect his fight with the Heaven Peal Lion. He needed to wipe all of its underlings, all the Heaven Peal Beasts, clean.

To players, Specters and monsters were merely enemies that needed to be eliminated.

And, he could kill these beasts to avenge Edgar’s friend, who had been killed by Divine Aria when he accidentally stepped on the volcano vent.

Vroom…

As Qin Ruo approached them, the red Heaven Peal Beasts also noticed him and was prepared to attack him. To them, Qin Ruo was the primary catalyst that brought in the Undead Horde. So, to them Qin Ruo was basically their number one public enemy. As they screeched in anger, the Heaven Peal Beasts spread their wings and sped toward him.

“Bring it on!”

Qin Ruo was hoping to eliminate every single one of these beasts before facing off with the Heaven Peal Lion. Seeing that they all approached him preemptively made it easier for him. However, these red Heaven Peal Beasts were hundreds in number. This was not any easier than escaping from the hordes earlier.

If they opted to cast their Tier 6 magic attacks, Qin Ruo could still stave them off. But if they were to go for physical attacks.

Qin Ruo glanced at his own status reports. Hmm, the effects of the Darkfrost Potion and Special Roasted Snail were still active. Perhaps he could kill them all at one go with another powerful magic.

As he was considering his options, Qin Ruo stopped moving and started concentrating on moving the water ramparts toward his back. A powerful surge of water element started to accumulate in the air and glided toward Qin Ruo!

***

Several seconds later, the Heaven Peal Lion had defeated all the Specters that invaded the volcano. As it was about to turn back down to its nest, suddenly a powerful freezing air heaved upward to the sky. The temperature of the volcano was halved in a blink of an eye!

The Lion turned its head toward the source of the freezing air and saw a dozen of Frostramparts moving above its red underlings’ heads… and then…

Boom!!!!

A loud thunderous explosion was heard in the volcano of Heaven Peal Island.
