Last Wish System

The next area was just the opposite to the previous one, it was a volcanic area, with rivers of magma flowing everywhere and scorching heat.

“In this place, I will definitely find some legacy that suits me!”

Hyrk was excited after seeing the new area, the possibilities of finding some legacy related to fire or earth were exceptionally high due to the volcanic zone environment.

Hyrk knew that he should get stronger or he wouldn’t obtain his revenge and restore his honor.

However, the only way to do it quick enough to surpass those shameless bastards was to find a legacy that suited him.

“Even if there isn’t any problem walking in this area, this heat will exhaust us at a fast rate, Nurvey, do you have a spell that can protect us from the heat?”

Nurvey didn’t reply, but she cast a spell and immediately everyone felt more refreshed.

Yale couldn’t avoid thinking that if Kermu had almost everything in his spatial artifact, Nurvey had a spell solution to practically all the situations.

There wasn’t any hidden trap in the volcanic zone; the natural environment was already dangerous enough.

The group had complained before about the difficulty of walking in the ice, but walking in a volcanic terrain was even harder, at least the ice didn’t have irregularities as it was created by Yale.

Even with Nurvey’s spell, the hot weather was starting to affect them; they didn’t want to imagine how strong would be the heat without any protection.

“I can’t advance more, the heat is too strong.”

Serka was at her limit; she wasn’t good resisting heat as the fire element was her weak point.

“The path ahead seems even more difficult; maybe we should give up and try to reach the next zone without exploring more this one.”

Kermu was worried about Serka; he didn’t feel well seeing her suffering by the heat, and he personally didn’t like the volcanic zone too much.

“You can wait here if you want, but I will continue ahead. My current self is useless if I don’t find anything that makes me stronger. I will try to find a legacy and return afterward. If I fail to return you can continue without me.”

Hyrk was decided to obtain something from the volcanic zone at any cost.

“If you keep going I will go with you, I don’t care about the heat or the environment. Furthermore, your chances of survival will increase if we go together.”

Yale was the one who spoke those words.

However, that time he didn’t say it to help Hyrk, Yale himself wanted to go to even hotter places.

The reason was that he felt that the heat was full of the fire element and that his body was able to absorb it. If he went to an area with an even denser fire element, he had chances to upgrade his fire element affinity.

Thus, he wanted to try his luck, even if the intense heat burned his body, Auto-regeneration would heal it and may even level up more.

“You two… I know you want to get stronger, but that’s too dangerous, maybe we won’t be able to meet again.”

Kermu didn’t like the idea of splitting the group, but after seeing the serious faces of his teammates, in the end, he accepted it.

“You can go, but you need to bind this tokens first, we will wait until you two returned, but if you die we can’t be waiting forever.”

Hyrk accepted the token and bound it, if something happened to him, the others couldn’t waste their time waiting.

“I don’t need to bind it. Nurvey, can you be in charge of Wyba? She won’t be able to resist the heat if she comes with me.”

If Yale died, Wyba would also die, as she was left behind there wasn’t any reason to bind a token.

After the problems that happened with the other nobles before, Yale didn’t want to leave a proof of his life that could be used to discover him.

If the Zhan Clan’s faction who hated his mother obtained it, Yale wouldn’t be able to run even if he faked his death.

With Absolute Protection that was easy to do, even the shameless nobles thought they were all dead, but if the other party had a bond token that showed his life state, the other party wouldn’t be fooled.

Kermu accepted Yale’s words, with Wyba with them there was enough proof of Yale’s safety.

Furthermore, few people would believe that Wyba had a life-bound contract with Yale, so the chances of her being kidnapped to track Yale’s life were small.

As for Nurvey, she was delighted to be in charge of Wyba.

“We will wait for you in the area that we rested in before, the heat is weaker than here and it would be easier for Nurvey to maintain the heat reduction spell. Good luck and don’t die.”

Yale and Hyrk were left alone, and the heat decreasing spell also disappeared.

Hyrk was able to support the heat with his strong body and affinity, but Yale had a rougher time.

However, that was just what he wanted; he could feel how his body was absorbing the fire element energy of the area.

The heat somewhat burned his skin, but that degree of burns was something Auto-regeneration healed instantly, so Hyrk didn’t notice Yale’s real state.

Both of them continued walking until a pool of lava cut their path.

“We should have chosen a wrong way; we can’t advance more.”

Hyrk was depressed after seeing how the path they followed ended in the magma pool.

“I think it is just the opposite, we are lucky. There is a cave on the other side of the pool.”

Yale was carefully observing his surrounding, so he noticed the cave’s existence quickly.

“Even if there is a cave there is no way we can reach it.”

“Hyrk, you need to be more open-minded. Do you remember the spell we learned in the forest zone?”

After hearing Yale’s words Hyrk’s face changed, he had indeed forgotten it as he wasn’t too skilled using wind spells.

Both of them used the Wind Wings spell to cross the magma pool and enter the cave.

The magma pool was a dead end to almost anyone, but that wasn’t the only path to reach the cave so they couldn’t discard the chance of other people being inside.

However, Yale and Hyrk didn’t know how to reach those other paths from their previous position, so their only possibility was to cross the magma pool. As it wasn’t too big, even Hyrk who wasn’t very proficient in using the Wind Wings managed to reach the other side without problems.

Inside the cave, the heat was far stronger than in the outside.

“The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Auto-regeneration] to Level 6.”

The constant damage and healing had finally leveled up Auto-regeneration when both of them were descending by the cave.

The cave ended with an enormous room flooded with magma, with only some small paths of ground to walk.

“The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Pain Tolerance] to Level 11.”

“The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Auto-regeneration] to Level 7.”

Even if Yale still didn’t upgrade his elemental affinity, only by the increase in his passive skills the travel was worthy of the danger and pain.

“Yale, look there, there is a passage under the magma pool!”

Hyrk was right, under the magma there was a passage, but that was inaccessible to them, they weren’t even sure if it leads to an exit or was a dead end. They could be able to resist some in the magma, but they wouldn’t be able to last for too long.

“That path leads to somewhere, the materials of it are different from the rest of the cave, it is clearly human-made. Going through the lava is too risky, but there should be another method to reach the same destination.”

Yale didn’t want to take the risk of submerging into the magma without a good reason.

After observing a bit more Yale confirmed that his theory was right, there were some human-made stairs visible at some distance.

Those stairs went up and then down, until reaching a small passage entrance that looked identical to the one under the magma, the chances of both being connected were high.

There was a long way until the passage due to how irregular the path was, but they didn’t need to rush.

They had already decided to take the long way when a loud scream resounded from the passage’s entrance.

Hyrk was surprised because someone else was in the volcanic cave and reached the human-made passage before them.

However, Yale’s face changed as he recognized the voice to who belonged that scream.

“Sorry, Hyrk we will meet at the end of the passage.”

After Yale said that he cast his Water Battle Armor and jumped into the magma pool charging towards the passage entrance that was there.

After hearing that scream, he couldn’t waste time; the scream was the type shouted after being heavily injured, without a proper treatment that kind of injury was a sure death.
