67 Fire Shield (1/2)

Hyrk looked at the guy's corpse.

”We shouldn't waste the resources he has with him, let's loot the corpse.”

To Hyrk that was normal, if the opponent is already dead, the killer should pick up his belongings. The nobles were used to do that after killing their opponents, even if they were mostly powerless people who had offended their clans.

”Yale, you are lucky today! This guy has a spatial artifact even if its quality is bad!”

After finishing his sentence, Hyrk threw a ring to Yale.

Hyrk knew that Yale didn't have a spatial artifact and that he needed one.

Furthermore, Yale was the one who risked his life to kill the guy, so the rewards also belonged to him, Hyrk wouldn't try to get a share without having participated in the killing.

If Yale obtained something that Hyrk needed from the dead guy, Hyrk would ask to just make a transaction for another thing of the same value.

That was also a rule the nobles had to avoid internal strife even if not all of them followed it.

Yale liked that straightforward method as most people would try to use any excuse to share the loot even without having participated.

Yale caught the ring and bound it with his Origin Qi, to bind items the type of energy didn't matter, so Yale never worried about using his Origin Qi.

After binding it, sending his energy to the ring, he could see the items inside. The bulky guy wasn't as wealthy as the nobles in Yale's group, but compared to a commoner he was still rich.

However, the most valuable things were medicinal pills and some miscellaneous stuff that could be sold in the outside world or that Yale didn't know its use.

There were also some weapons inside the ring, including some swords, bows, and arrows. Those were useful to Yale, but their quality was low; probably the guy had stolen them from commoners in the special realm.

The only weapon with high quality the bulky guy had was the spear he had used to attack Aizu, but Yale wasn't too fond of spears, he had enough with his Ice Spears to throw to the enemies.

However, Yale stored that spear in the spatial ring as it could be useful to change it for another thing later.

Even disregarding the ring's contents, the ring itself was enough to make Yale happy as it was something he wanted to obtain.

Yale decided that after going back with the others he would show all the items he didn't need to them, Yale thought that maybe he would be able to do some good trades.

The only thing Yale took out from the ring was a new set of clothes; he couldn't move well with that beggar appearance.

Hyrk and Yale remained there some time learning the legacy; they couldn't waste such opportunity to learn it.

”The user successfully created the Magic Skill [Fire Shield]”

”Fire Shield Level 1: Generates a spherical fire shield that covers the whole body. Fire Element. It requires 3 Origin Points. Mastery at level 10.”

The spell they learned was a defensive one, but even if it were a shield if someone physically attacked it, the attacker would also get damaged by the fire.

Aizu didn't wake up before Yale and Hyrk finished learning the spell. Yale didn't know if she had managed to learn the spell before getting attacked by the bulky guy or not, but they couldn't wait until she recovered her consciousness because the others were waiting for them.

Before leaving, they threw the corpse into the magma pool, that way it would be impossible for others to find out what happened.

Yale carried Aizu on his back and went out of the volcanic cave, with Yale strength carrying a little girl on his back was nothing, he only needed to be careful that she didn't fall or got injured.

They used the long way, the same used by Hyrk as there was no reason to jump again into the magma. Furthermore, Yale didn't know if Aizu would be able to survive inside the magma as he had only survived due to Auto-recovery.

That skill was the most valuable Yale had, even more than Absolute Protection as Auto-recovery didn't have any cooldown and could heal any wound, he could be more reckless in a battle due to it.

The most challenging part of the journey was flying above the magma pool outside the volcanic cave while carrying with Aizu.

Flying was still hard to Yale as he wasn't used to it, and he feared that he would lose a bit his control provoking that Aizu fell.
