Smashing through the stone bears wasn't a problem. They were sturdy and I doubt that people below the elite of what Arc had to offer could even scratch them, but I was on a different level, and a single punch was more than enough.
In such a manner I carved my way through, eventually finding a bit denser spot, which was surrounding a cave. Inside, in complete darkness, I found more bears. The deeper I got, the more they changed.
The first ones had crystals growing on them, like so sort of parasite. In the beginning green, but then they got darker, slowly turning more towards the color of athysts.
Obviously, the change didn't an anything to , so there is no need to waste any space diving deeper into those types of basically the sa creatures.
Eventually, I arrived in the boss's room. As usual, it was placed behind the door with the symbol of the world tree on it. It was a large cavern, illuminated with green and blue light coming from strange, clearly magical crystals. There were also different types of precious stones there, but those didn't shine like the others. Most of them were clear, shining with a variety of reflected colors. A true rainbow.
It took a mont to notice the boss. At first, I completely missed him. Ok, I'll admit, I completely missed him. If he wouldn't move the mont I stepped inside the chamber, like a tourist having a ti of his life in so country, which he visited for the first ti ever, I probably would never register that the cluster of those semitranslucent crystals, shining with a rainbow of reflected lights, was the thing I was gonna destroy.
It was still a bear, but its whole back was those crystals, and they emitted this strange, high-pitched, resonating sound as the creature picked itself up off the ground. The lower part was still stone, but it mixed so well with the rest of the cavern, that when the boss was still laying down, he physically lted with the environnt.
Then he roared at , and a whole chamber shook with the imnse over of his voice. The roar was heavy, to the point I could feel it on my skin.
I have to admit, thanks to that I got excited a little bit too much. I jumped forward and slapped him so hard I broke his head off... Yeah, disappointing, I know. I picked the crystal, then left, annoyed with myself because I didn't even learn what that thing could do.
Well, I did later. He actually could puke a laser-like ray from its mouth, which could lt the stone. He was also very sturdy, and the skin was perfect in reflecting various types of damage. Rays of frost didn't do shit to him, and neither did electricity.
The next spot I found was, in big contrast with what I saw so far, a lovely groove. Nice, beautiful green, with streams of shimring, humming water, and flowers blooming with vibrant colors on every corner.
To not prolong this any further, satyrs were living there, and they used nature-based magic, so I had roots popping from the ground, just to try and kill . I burned them to the ground, arriving in the very center. On a nice clearing, basking in the light of the local star, among old obelisks with carved mysterious symbols, was living the boos. A bigger, more handso dude with horns. He was quite annoying with his magic, so... I blasted him with more fire magic, as anyone would do.
Tired, with the local star setting on the horizon, I began my journey back. It was quite fast thanks to shadow walk.
People had to know that I was gonna check the new places because there was quite a bunch of them hanging in the city centers. They set up tables with chairs and were drinking beer under big umbrellas like they were on so kind of vacation.
- Hey, he is back! - Lucas yelled as soon as I showed up.
I noticed Marvin, and John imdiately standing up to approach . Tihana was right behind them.
Seeing this gathering, the forr firefighter also decided to join. The rest of the people were not bold enough for such a move.
I was flooded with questions about what I saw.
- Ok, ok! Calm down. Get a bear, and I'll tell you - I replied when they all stopped repeating the sa thing.
- On it, chief - Lucas said, then turned on his heel to get to the device.
Tihana in the anti was already getting a few people to move a table, a bunch of chairs, and the lovely umbrella, which wasn't necessary since the evening was already in full swing.
Before I knew I was sitting with a trace of nachos with chees dip, and a nice tall glass of pale ale. Cold enough to make the container sweat. John got the snack, which I have to admit, earned him a few points, but he was still in a very big deficit.
First, I snacked a little bit and took a few sips of the drink, which put in quite a lovely mood. It also made my audience annoyed, which was a nice bonus.
- Are you gonna talk anyti soon, or should we return in the morning? - asked Tihana, rolling her eyes.
I froze, glaring at her, which was like poking a bear. Her mouth opened to add more fuel to the fire, but John reacted by covering her mouth. I got alard by what he did but decided to leave this matter for later. We both needed to have a long conversation.
Then I finally spoke, describing everything I saw, which made others who weren't yer surrounding , decide to get closer to hear. I especially focused on the intel about dangerous places and bosses. I also added what I found about so of my skills working on particular elentals, which got many intrigued.
I had to answer a few additional questions because of that. Eventually, though, the report was submitted, and my glass emptied, just like the tray with nachos, so there was nothing else left, but to approach the device, check the classes, and sell the score.
