Chapter 71: Kaboom?
" Dang, Skye has finished one of the trials, why is it so fast."
To think that Skye has been working hard to finish the trial while he was still taking it easy, Ray felt ashamed.
It seems the progress of the trial needed to be fastened a bit. In the last trial, their biggest weakness is having no high burst DPS.
Xiansheng defense and Schwarz attack were enough to handle small enemies, but if they were to battle a high hp-boss, Schwarz would be at a little disadvantage.
He didn't want to repeat the mistake and let Schwarz be injured like last time.
" Guys, are you ready for the next trial?"
Ray asked with the determination on his face.
Rena nodded and put Alice in her embrace.
While Schwarz seems to be really fired up after her disappointing performance in the last trial.
Without any delay, the group rushed to the trial of silver sacred ruins.
There were still three other trials left to clear, but Ray chose the trial of silver because it was the closest to their current position.
*Whoosh*
……
[ DING!!! You have discovered the sacred ruin of silver.]
Like the previous ruin, when the group entered their ruin, they could feel their surrounding was different from the outside.
" It was my second time to enter the Sacred Ruin, but the atmosphere here really get me eery."
Rena muttered as she looks around.
" Yeah, but we don't have much time left. Let's hurry and find the boss room"
Along with Ray's word, the group started their ruins exploration.
last time, it took them more than 2 hours to find the boss room, Ray could only hope it would take less time for this ruin.
' Wait for me, Skye.'
…
Kuwak~!!!!!
[ DING!!! You spirit beast Schwarz has defeated spirit beast flame hedgehog, Schwarz exp +80]
The spirit beast was the tenth spirit beast Schwarz has defeated since they entered the ruin.
Rena has offered to use Alice's explosion to easily demolished the enemy, but Ray refused.
The explosion would generate aggro from the surrounding spirit beasts, and Ray didn't want them to be surrounded.
' We have been walking for about 1 hour. It's useless. At the current rate, we will take another 2 hours to clear this ruin. Think Ray, there must be a pattern here.'
Of course, they could just explore the ruin normally, but Ray was way too anxious. Skye's fast progress was out of his expectation, and he couldn't get it out of his mind.
" Ray, Alice is sulking right now. Can you make an exception and let her use an explosion just this one time?"
Rena came to his side and beg for Alice. Alice was Rena's first spirit beast, so she really spoiled her a lot.
" Sorry, Rena. Alice explosion is way too attractive to the spirit beast in this ruin. We don't want to be surrounded right…"
Wait, something is wrong here.
Ray noticed something wrong and started racking his brain harder.
He was trying to find the link between the encounter with the spirit beast and the boss room.
Spirit beast… Boss room…
No way, how couldn't he have noticed this before.
Their last ruin exploration indeed took more than 3 hours, but their last spirit beast encounter was only 3 minutes before they eventually find the boss room.
' There is a slight chance that my theory isn't right, but there's no problem in trying.'
He turned his back and face the sulking Alice.
This little spirit beast has giving Ray a headache since this morning, she had almost exploded the ruin when Ray and Rena neglected her.
" Alice, Kaboom?"
" Kaboom!!!"
" Yeah, Kaboom."
Hearing Ray's word, the sulking Alice was now full of spirit. She took a distance from the group and her body started to glow in red.
" Kaboom!!!!!!"
BOOM BOOM BOOM
Numerous bombs instantly exploded and paint the ruins in fire, attracting the attention of all nearby spirit beasts.
[ DING!!! 67 Hostile spirit beast has been rushing in the direction of the host.]
[ Initiating battle phase.]
[ Go Xiansheng, Schwarz, and Alice.]
Rumble!! Rumble!!
Numerous footsteps could be heard from Ray's place, and Ray knew the spirit beast was coming.
" Xiansheng, let's use the Geo pillar to elevate us in a safe area first. We will do a hit and run tactic."
" Consider it done."
Just in a blink of an eye, a big geo pillar was summoned beneath them and elevated them into a safe place.
" Schwarz, Alice prepare for battle. We will give them the biggest explosion they would ever see."
" Meow."
" Kaboom!!"
……
Rumble Rumble
Boom!!!! Boom!!!! Boom!!!!!
From the top of the Geo pillar, an uncountable explosion could be heard. Sometime, there were some griefing sounds from the spirit beast, but Ray decided to ignore them……
[ DING!!! You spirit beast Schwarz and Alice has defeated spirit beast flame hedgehog, Schwarz exp +30, Alice exp+50]
[ DING!!! You spirit beast Schwarz and Alice has defeated spirit beast Gobbo, Schwarz exp +20, Alice exp+40]
[ DING!!! You spirit beast Schwarz and Alice has defeated spirit beast flame fox, Schwarz exp +10, Alice exp+50]……
' The hell, the notification rush has been going for about 5 minutes and hasn't shown any indication to stop. Just how many spirit beasts were there?"
The rush of notification made Ray become dumbfounded. He couldn't imagine what would their fate be if they were surrounded by this many spirit beast, and it also made him really thankful for Xiansheng. His Geo pillar was really useful, and without it, the battle will be a lot harder.
He looked at the side and found Alice was laughing happily while sending countless bombs to the spirit beast below.
' Remind me not to mess with this psycho spirit beast.'
The thought of Alice laughing in the middle of explosion rain really sends shivers down his spine.
Waiting another 10 minutes, finally, the last spirit beast has been killed by Alice's explosion.
[ DING!!! You spirit beast Schwarz and Alice has defeated spirit beast flame fox, Schwarz exp +10, Alice exp+50]
[ Alice level has risen to 27]
[ Schwarz level has risen to 30].
" Kaboom!!"
" Ow, don't be sad Alice, there will be many other chances for you to use your explosion."
The two girls embraced each other. and the scene would be really heartwarming if Ray couldn't hear the topic of their discussion. He disregards the two girls and came to Schwarz's side.
" Schwarz, please check if you could find the boss door."
" Wait a moment meow…"
"Over there, Ray, Schwarz could feel the same fluctuation there."
