Chapter 422 - The Hidden Treasure (Part-3) (2/2)

True-Spear gained a mournful look on his face as he spoke, ”Such a waste that was so many talented cultivators died that day.”

Su-Min who was just ahead of them spoke with a huff, ”Those creatures were not the only one who caused the death, there were many worthless backstabbers who caused many of us to die as well, blocking the portal, sabotaging others when they are attempting to flee. Ugh, just the thought of it makes me sick.”

Zywia simply nodded in agreement as an angry scowl marred her face as she spoke, ”Sc.u.m the lots of them, if only they had died it would have been great.”

As the group ventured further they had to face myriad of temperatures, one moment it was hot and the next moment it was bone shivering cold making it extremely uncomfortable for them.

”Brother Ryuu there is something that I wish to ask you?”

As True-Spear's voice came to his ears Ryuu could not help but turn his head slightly as he spoke, ”What is it brother?”

”Well, I was kind of wondering why, why did you two enter together like this, surely you should have other friends who would have entered with you.”

Ryuu scratched his chin as he replied to him, ”Most of the people whom I am friendly with are either too strong or not strong enough, but who said I entered here with her I was surprised that Zywia had entered here as well, not to mention she ran away from home to enter Eden.”

Zywia simply sends a glare towards Ryuu before a small smile appeared on her face as she spoke, ”That may be so but I do not regret it even for a moment.”

She sent a small glance towards True-Spear as she blushed a bit only to blanch as the next words came to her ears.

”Good for you then Zywia, I hope you can keep it in your mind when you meet your parents after stepping out of here.”

Su-Min gained a teasing look on her face as she glanced back towards Zywia while speaking, ”Brother Ryuu can I have a front seat when the drama unfolds.”

Ryuu stopped for a moment as he looked at Zywia who was rapidly shaking his head as he spoke with a teasing grin, ”Sure why not, while they are at it I hope she manages to introduce her 'boyfriend' to her family.”

As Ryuu let out a roar of laughter both Zywia and True-Spear turned red from embarrassment as rest of their companions joined in giggling at the embarrassment of the duo.

The narrow passage led to another large room, a room that was large enough to hold a small army within it, the members of the group was incredibly tensed waiting for another trap to activate.

And activate it did, when all of a sudden the ground shook as bones began to appear and join to take the form of a dragon, a hundred-foot tall dragon towered above them before it let loose a roar that seemed to rattle their bones.

Ryuu's blood sung in happiness for a moment upon seeing the beast before a sense of deep disappointment welled up inside him, 'Aww if only it were alive it would be great, the current dragon has nothing in it not even a single drop of blood, it is practically useless.'

Genesis and Requiem both looked ready to dismantle the creature in front of him.

”So how do we deal with it? I have never dealt with such a creature before.”

Ryuu simply sent a glance towards Frost Flames as he spoke with a small smile on his face, ”We'll find the thing that makes it stay alive and deal with, the creature would die soon after, but most importantly until you have dealt with that particular part it would regenerate again and again.”

Another roar came to their ear as they glanced up to see a skeleton Imoogi descending from the ceiling.

”An Imoogi, huh.”

Seeing his lackadaisical reaction Frost Flames could not help but ask out loud, ”Is there any problem Ryuu?”

Ryuu was brought of his daydream as he smiled towards Frost Flames as he spoke, ”Nothing I just remembered how I was once gobbled up by an Imoogi when I was ten.”

”That was quite an experience you have, I hope you will have no problem dealing with it then.”

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, ”No problem Frozen Ocean, they only thing I hated from the incident was that it took days for me to get rid of the horrible smell, but since it is the skeleton I doubt I would have to be wary about the smell.”

Frozen Ocean looked at him as she spoke with a smirk, ”Then how about a small competition.”

Ryuu tilted his head as he spoke curiously, ”Competition? What are…”

He was forced to dodge an incoming breath of bluish silver-coloured beam as Frozen Ocean shouted out, ”Who kills them fastest.”

Ryuu grinned back at her as he spoke, ”Bring it on.”

Since that day when he tricked Chasing Winds, Frozen Ocean had begun to show a new side of her to Ryuu, the mischievous side, something that Ryuu preferred a lot over her normal stoic and cold side.

Ryuu moved towards his target, the skeleton Imoogi, he might not have faced one before but from what he had learned about them, the skeleton creatures have what is dubbed as the core, a marvellous use of array that tied the soul of the creature making its skeleton move, as such, there are two not one ways to destroy the dragon.

First just as he had said, to find the particular array and disrupt or destroy it or simply hit it with your soul energy and Ryuu was planning to do both.

The Imoogi moved at an incredible speed towards, and when it was only a few inches from Ryuu, he dodged to the left as he swung his sword, which cut through the bones of the creature like it was made of tofu.

It was then followed by a thrust by the spear which destroyed the bones at the neck, the Imoogi wobbled as it had lost the majority of its face and soon his head had fallen off as well, it would regenerate albeit extremely slow but even then it would not full regenerate, and upon repetition of the same process over and over again they can easily deal with a skeleton.

'The array I have found it, it was too easy.', with another swipe of his sword the bones of the skeleton fell on the ground.

”You lose Ryuu.”, Frozen Ocean's voice came to his ears as he looked at the smirking woman stood after already slaying her prey.

Ryuu wanted to know how, but before he could ask another few roars came and now a new group of four appeared in front of them, as Ryuu simply grumbled at that, 'Just like I thought it was too easy.'
