Chapter 38: Burning Tip (2/2)
[Continent Numbers: Four]
[Continent Names: Arura, Blalor, Ivrora, Eozen]
Without deliberating he chose Eozen. He wanted to know his own continent—where he lived—he could always roam other places later. The time would come when he visits those continents. But not now, he wanted to discover and know about Eozen before going to other places..
He chose the Magic Association but not the Shado Empire like before. Instead, another kingdom of Association, Runad Kingdom. He had the specific reason behind it—the kingdom was surrounded by volcanoes, and in this kingdom, almost all the magus were fire users. He wanted to see if he could find something fire related that could help in healing his fire stars.
The Barren Volcanos: Filled with monsters. Fire Stone Mines are found at this place.
Kadyn read the description, and his eyes lit up. Fire Stones were kind of Magic Stones. The magus used them to increase magic energy to reach higher Rank—there were other elemental stones, like wood, wind, lightning, so on and so forth—the Formation masters also used them to set the formation.
That was the reason Kadyn couldn't set any formation in his shop for a safety purpose. Every formation needed a source to maintain them. Otherwise it would be just a skeleton without a soul—and without a soul the body was useless.
Wildfire Bubbling Lake: Spread in miles. A good hunting ground for hunters.
Red Field...
He continued to check. He also looked at the information about the cities of the Runad kingdom.
The Burning Tips: A low level fire dragon used to live there. Many fire herbs could be found in that place. Such as Ash Thyme, Ruby Ivy, Five Star Spirit Grass...
”What?!” he halted and stared at the screen with burning eyes.
Five Star Spirit Grass… the chief ingredient to brew the Crack Melding Potion. He remembered the properties of the Five Star Spirit Grass. It was found in the fire dominant regions. He never thought that he could find clues about it through the Pengolla Portal.
Well, it was just an elementary level herb, so he wasn't that surprised. He should have known that he could find it in such places. However, after that setback, he was depressed and hadn't gotten the time to think about it. After that many things happened, getting no time to contemplate about this problem..
”Let's see if I can find the herb.” He said and disappeared from his cabin. Although he had asked Khrom to search for the herb. He had no idea how long it would take. Furthermore that guy was hiding somewhere. No one knew his whereabouts. Kadyn couldn't depend entirely on him.
——
”Damn!” Kadyn cursed as he appeared on a vast boulder, looking around him with a pale face. He felt as if someone was roasting him on fire. He tried to cover himself in flames to avoid this heat, but fire pool refused to respond—remaining as silent as ever. He peered ahead of him depressedly and saw a tall mountain peak. Not exactly. A tall volcano peaks towering ahead of him, around a half kilometer away.
So this is the Burning Tip. He thought as he eyed the far away place from where a burning heat was released and smashed on his handsome, smooth face, turning it red, drenching his clothes in sweat. At least he wasn't completely helpless. After awakening ten fire stars, his body was also improved and his fire resistance increased.
Even without the fire element, he wasn't completely vulnerable. Furthermore, he worked pretty hard in a few previous days to improve—he didn't even sleep at nights—and successfully awakened eight lightning stars. That strengthen his body even further.
Not wasting his precious time, Kadyn looked around him. The enormous boulders and flooding lava surrounded him. He couldn't see even a single plantation, much less Five Star Spirit Grass. Then he laughed at his own thinking, if finding the herb was that easy everyone would come here to fetch some. No one would be poor anymore. Herbs must be hidden even deeper into this place.
Kadyn again examined his surroundings and scurried towards the Volcano cautiously.
