Michael ran his fingers through the old sturdy wall blocking his path. He looked around to find if there's a chanism to open this stone wall yet, he could find only dust and pebbles around.
"Okay, let's do this the hard way then"
He strode forward and imdiately struck the door fiercely with his fist.
With a muffled sound, the stone door continued to tower over everyone else with only so dust being shaken down.
At this sight, everyone who followed him behind was astounded. Even he had been stunned for a mont before muttering to himself, "Is this really a stone door?" he knew clearly just how much strength was put behind his fist. Even an iron door would have a hole blasted through it, but this stone door wasn't even scratched.
"Holy shit! is this really a stone door, it's unbelievably hard!"
"This stone door definitely isn't an ordinary one…"
Everyone began to chat among themselves.
[Need help?] he heard the familiar robotic yet slightly human voice in his head.
"Nope, I'll need to see how far I can get without your help!" Michael thought. He tightened his fist again to punch the stone wall again. If there was a trace of Arch Energy around the door, he would have looked for another way because it's near impossible to break sothing enchanted using Arch energy but this door had no Arch Energy, which ans, with enough force, he could break this door.
"Bang!"An ear-splitting sound could be heard as the entire cave shook after he punched the door again. Everyone shook their heads in pain as they steadied themselves.
After a while, the cave grew quiet once more. Everyone's eyes remained wide open as they looked at the stone door in shock–it continued to stand over them as if normal.
"Ju-just what was used to make this stone door, it's really hard!" Michael was annoyed at these people behind him, they weren't even helping and the only thing they were doing since they followed him to the cave was staring at the stone wall.
"Third ti's the charm"
Just as he was about to punch the door the third ti, a large animalistic reverberated the cave, causing everyone's face to lose color.
"That's the Golden Lightning Lion and the sounds of footsteps, goddammit, they brought it here! fuck!" one of them yelled.
"Fuck it" the pitch-black darkness of the cave and the fact these idiots bringing the lion to him gave him an idea, an idea which could work.
Gritting his teeth, he closed his eyes, "Death Range" the mont, he uttered these two words, the Arch Energy in his body rushed into his veins, making every muscle in the body stronger. He could feel his strength growing exponentially and since the cave was already pitch black, none could notice the darkness of the Death range.
Without any hesitation, he punched the stone wall, "Bang!" A loud sound could be heard as a large shockwave of energy exploded outward at an alarming speed. Washing over everyone while the cave itself began to shake almost as if it was on the verge of collapsing in on itself.
Upon looking at the stone door, there were several cracks, but it was still not broken.
Everyone let out a shocked gasp, the stone door was far stronger than anyone had imagined.? On the other side, he could rejoice about the durability of the immortal's cave. Even after such a heavy blow, it still had not collapsed.
"Break for !" Michael gritted his teeth. Imdiately, he punched again and this ti, his punch was stronger than the one before.
Another explosive sound could be heard as stone pieces could be seen flying about and the cave echoed with the sound. After the second strike, the unbelievably strong stone door had finally been shattered but not completely. The hole that appeared at the wall could only let one person at a ti, even that person had to be slim enough to slide through the crack. Fortunately, he wasn't a bodybuilder or fatty.
"Let's go!"
"Move quick!"
"We can't fight that beast in here!"
Many shouted in terror while Michael was sliding through the crack to reach the side. He desperately wanted to block this crack leaving these lazy bastards to die but ti was not in his favor.
After wiggling his body through the crack, he ca to the other side of the stone wall and reached the inner parts of the cave. The cave was extrely large and spacious. Hanging right on the ceiling of the cave was a single head-sized night pearl that illuminated the entire cave with its shiny glow.
In front of him, there was a tall bookshelf, and on top of this bookshelf, there were so neatly placed scrolls. All these scrolls were covered in dust, they had clearly been here for a long period of ti. Right next to a tall bookshelf was another single haphazardly made wooden bookshelf with several books on it.
He walked up to the top bookshelf and grabbed a book with a sudden look of shock on his face. All of these books were Rare spells. He was surprised by what he just found.
"Fiery Wrath, Creates a weapon of fiery energy. This is incredible, I just picked one at random, and it was a Rare spell," Michael's eyes were glistening in excitent
"So many scrolls! There are also books… this is a library!"
[No shit] the system sounded irritated but he ignored it, sending everything he picked into his system storage before the system asks rent for storage space.
"Energy Rage, Creates claws of electric energy, damn I hit the jackpot!" Michael couldn't hold his excitent thinking how powerful he would beco after learning all these spells, he would be untouchable and he saved thousands of Badass points.
[hehehe]
"Huh? System, did you just laugh?" the system went silent but he could swear he heard the system chuckle.
"Clean first, think later" he had no ti bitch with the system as Noah and those idiots would co here soon, and then, he would have to share this loot with them unless he wanted to make so powerful enemies by fighting. That he did not want because the spells are valuable but they are not worth it if he had to make powerful enemies. Thinking about this, he fastened his pace of storing the spells in his system storage while the people behind him were reading the spell scrolls one by one to choose which one they should get considering they had limited space in their space ring.
"Baby Dragon, if we take everything here back to our sect, we will beco the fourth big sect!" Michael patted his chest. He could sense the Baby Dragon had fallen asleep or it would have clawed its way out of his coat to give him a dragon saliva bath.
"Need a diversion," he noticed one by one people were turning their gazes at his bookshelf. Looking at this he decided to turn their gaze towards sowhere else and to do that, what would be better than a good old-fashioned flashbang. He knew one day this would co in handy after using these to get rid of the bandits during his first quest.
He crept into the corner of the shelf where he had the cover of darkness and retrieved the flashbang, " fire in the hole bitches" he snickered throwing the flashbang to the faraway corner of the cave
"Bang!" The sudden flash and explosion sound shook the cave making everyone jump back in shock and surprise. Just as the flashbang exploded, he waved his hand and took all the scrolls into his space ring before punching the bookshelf to make it fall to the ground.
"What was that?!" Michael shouted like he had nothing to do with the explosion, "move faster people, the place might co down on our head!" Like a good human being, he advised the people as everyone nodded.
Those who eyed the bookshelf could now only sigh because they preferred to take what they could easily rather than lifting this shelf up and then search for a spell.
As soon as he took all the spell scrolls, he laughed inside and joined the others to look around the cave hoping to find even more treasures.
Despite the expansive cave, the items within were relatively scarce. Aside from the Rare spells, there was nothing else that made him excited as before but that didn't an he left those common and uncommon spells untouched. He took many of those scrolls without alerting the others as he didn't want them to wonder where he got the space to store all the spells.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Suddenly, the silent atmosphere of the cave changed by the thundering booming sounds which seed to be coming from breaking the stone wall.
Soon, Michael saw Noah and the group rushed into the cave making him curse those useless magical beasts outside, "Core Formation my ass, why couldn't they kill them all?"
In the next second, sothing strange happened as the stone chess table slowly began to descend into the ground when an idiot who just ca here began to investigate the table.
Imdiately jumping away from the table, Noah could only look on in astonishnt as the table descended deeper into the ground before exclaiming, "Wh…what's happening? he couldn't have activated so sort of chanism has he?"
Even as Noah spoke, the group of n in the cave all grew vigilant as they began to worry whether or not the chanism that was activated would kill them. Seeing the sudden change, Michael was ready to use the teleportation scroll he got from the system to escape the cave. He did want to see how far he could get without the help of the system but he would rather live another day to test himself than dying here.
As the table descended into the ground, it was almost as if there was indeed a chanism as Noah had said. The cave began to shake as a muffled boom could be heard and a hidden stone door slowly started to rise up from the ground.
"There must be a treasure inside, hurry up and enter before anyone else can!"
"Hurry up and go in, there has to be so Legendary treasure inside!"
The crowded cave of people quickly began to cry out loud as they charged toward the area.
Michael didn't hesitate for even a mont. In an instant, they quickly flew toward the stone door. In a blur of movents, he activated the Lighting dash and disappeared into the hidden door.
The area past the hidden door was quite small, only a few n could stand inside. There seed to be a single person resting inside and right above his head was a single fist-sized night pearl that seed to endlessly pour out a ray of light that would never cease.
As soon as several n entered this small cave, they imdiately felt a trendous amount of pressure coming at them from all angles. It was enough for everyone to suddenly beco serious as their hearts could feel the shock; this cave was not a normal one.
Right next to one of the walls was a single jade white bed. On the white bed, a single white skeleton could be seen maintaining a ditative position for an unknown amount of ti. This entire skeleton exuded a fluorescent light from itself as well. Although it was only a skeleton, it was giving off an incredible amount of pressure. Even the faint amount of power that could be felt in the room was coming from this skeleton.
"This is the skeleton of a Fusion Stage cultivator!" Victoria shouted out loud in shock at the skeleton. Noah, Evan, Michael all showed similar signs of shock at this newfound discovery. As they discovered the skeleton and felt excitent overtake them, everyone soon quickly felt their blood begin to boil.
In a single flash of movent of Victoria that caused a squall of wind to appear, she flew toward the skeleton. At the sa ti, everyone including Michael charged toward it.
Everyone looked at the skeleton with their blood pounding in veins, imdiately using any speed-enhancing spell they had, they tried to get closer to the skeleton before the others, except Michael who stopped at so distance from the skeleton trusting his instincts.
