Chapter 1937 - Cursed Lake

Chew Chew

Ashlyn chirped in my mind, and the next second, a scene of a huge lake appeared in front of my eyes; seeing the lake, I immediately understood where I was.

I am near Wialt Lake, and with my speed, it should not take me more than two to three days to get there.

With me knowing where I was, I moved to the left and started running; flying is reckless; it is like painting target on your back, while it is a fast method of travel, it came with danger, and this ruin is dangerous, and I do not want to take more risks than I am already taking.

As I started to make my way toward the Glow Palace, I remained to steer clear of the Wialt Lake; while going near, it will get me lots of herbs-related material, but it is not worth seeing how dangerous it is.

The lake is dangerous, with vapors coming out of it could kill an elite within seconds. A leader would e be killed immediately if they touched even a drop of its water, but that's not the most dangerous thing about the lake. The most dangerous thing is monsters residing under it.

There are lots of leader cla.s.s monsters inside, and it is said there is one Master cla.s.s monster also reside deep inside the lake.

Thankfully, these monsters kept to themselves, and as long as you do not disturb them actively or a Grimm Monster which they could sense, they will leave you alone, which is what I want. To get to glow palace as soon as possible without getting any hindrance on the way.

"f.u.c.k, Ashlyn!"

I suddenly cursed. While I am extremely opposed to going even near to the lake, Ashlyn did not seem to have any reservation about it, as she clad herself in her invisible fire and dived toward the lake, especially toward those ink-black lotuses on the surface of the lake.

They are beautiful, daring anyone to take them; they are the biggest resources of the lake, and if I had not found the unmatched Blood-Curse miracle fruit to represent the curse element of my const.i.tutions, I would have definitely vied for those lotuses; they would be perfect.

Still, they could not match the Blood-Curse fruit; it is an epitome; I felt extremely lucky that I was able to get something this good for the curse element of my const.i.tution.

Ashlyn is going for these lotuses; they are baits; below each lotus, there is a powerful monster is hiding; the moment she touches it, the monster would leap at her and swallow her chubby little body.

I am shouting at Ashlyn to don't go there while getting away from the lake at my fastest speed. While I know Ashlyn never does things she isn't sure of, I couldn't help but become worried about her. There are d.a.m.n Master cla.s.s monsters inside that freaking lake; even with strange abilities, she is not a match for it; it will bit her off like some tasty snack.

I continued to urge her, but she did not listen and finally swooped at the roses, and I stopped on my place and hide while activating all the hiding formations I had in full power.

At least a leader cla.s.s monster going to react, and I don't be moving when it does; I would be easily noticeable.

Ashlyn swooped down and swiped one of thousand of black ink lotuses floating on the surface of the lake. As she did, a ten-meter-long snake monster flew out of the lake with its mouth open, ready to chomp on the thing that had taken the bait.

SHAR!

The snake monster screamed loudly with leader cla.s.s aura blazing; Ashlyn had taken the lotus and disappeared, and that was just the beginning. This chubby bird was not satisfied by one lotus and went for another

Roar Roar Roar

A crocodile monster roared as it came out and did not find an Ashlyn who took it's, but like snake monster, it also was not able to find Ashlyn, despite having a power of leader cla.s.s Tyrant. In every few minutes, roars one monster after another begins to ring out across the surface of a huge lake.

'Ashlyn enough! Come back,' I shouted in my mind; the more lotuses she took, the greater the disturbance she would create, and it might bring the master cla.s.s Tyrant out, and once it did, there is no way we could survive.

Our filmy abilities might be able to work against the leader cla.s.s Tyrants, but they would not work against the leader cla.s.s Tyrants; it would see right through it.

Finally, Ashlyn listened to my pleas as she flew out of the lake with her cloak of invisibility while the monsters were searching for her crazily in the lake; some of them had even started fighting, suspecting each other of the theft while the real thief left the lake with nine black ink lotuses.

Each black ink lotuses had an astronomical value while they grew on the cursed water; they are one of the best resources to cleanse the curse.

If my mother had black ink lotus with her when she was cursed and immediately ate it, the curse would have been cleansed. It would not have gotten a chance to take root inside her and through her into me; the one I have even gained the sentient and is waiting for the right moment to strike.

In the current time, such resources are in extremely high demand, especially among the leaders cla.s.s Tyrants and above. There are not many healers that are capable of healing them.

A resource like Black Ink lotus would be invaluable to them, and I am asking Ashlyn to spare me a few. With these lotuses, I would be able to get many things I need from supreme.

Ashlyn is not responding to me, whether it is intentional or she is just too busy chomping on the lotuses, I don't know, but I hope she would spare me at least one black ink lotus for my own use.
