[Planet #14722]
Ery returned to the savage planet. This ti, he went past the portal by himself.
When he walked out of the swirling portal, he saw the recognizable small tavern and smiled a little, reminiscing of the ti he and his friend went and had fun there.
After watching the tavern, which was completely filled with people, Ery quickly rushed towards one particular hill, the one where he went to mine titanium.
Several Skygazers can be seen swirling in the sky as soon as he ca out of the forest. Ery also saw a few of those black rocks that had the familiar silvery glands. Unfortunately, he did not pick up any of them because today, none of them were his target.
Ery proceeded to run up the hill and started to search for the familiar hole that should be located between the cracks on the dry hill land. After scouring through dozens of ters, he finally found it. Without further due, Ery imdiately slid into it.
While he was sliding through the narrow channel that headed downwards, Ery was further confirming the target of his destination in his mind. After a while, he finally touched the ground again and imdiately looked around.
At the mont, he was in a place with several tunnels spreading around him.
Ery tried to rember if this was the sa place he and his friends fell into the last ti by comparing what he saw around him with his mories.
As he threw his gaze around, he noticed the familiar red light from one of the tunnels, which quickly confird this place was the one where they previously were.
Ery then carefully walked towards the tunnel where dozens of flowers had gathered. Unfortunately, just like the last ti, there were almost a hundred Duma around the area.
The last ti he was here, Ery was only a Rank 5 acolyte. Not only did he not have any good weapons, he also did not have any good spell in his repertoire. Hence, this ti, his hands were itching to test all of his new spells and skills against the green gooey creatures.
However, he still needed to keep his eyes on the target first, the bright light plant that shone in the dark, the Caracas Plant. After all, the last thing he wanted was for the plant to be destroyed during his rounds of skills and spells experints.
Before going at it, Ery suddenly realized no one knew he was here. His friends, his master or anyone else, they were all in the dark about his whereabouts.
Did this an if anything happened to him here, no one would ever find him?
The thought sent shivers down to Ery's back. He probably should have left a note or sothing.
Anyway, before the dark thought could dive deeper into his mind, Ery tried to think more positively, as he analyzed the creature once again.
[Duma]
[Level 5 - Beast]
[Battle Power 50]
There were at least one hundred such monsters in this place. As for the flowers, there were a few dozen of them, but they were spreaded apart.
Ery knew these monsters were pretty slow, but their enormous number was the problem. It could be troubleso if he got pinned and trapped between them. If that happened, he could only accept his fate getting pumled. Therefore, it was better to approach it carefully, without making rush decisions.
Ery quickly casted his [Shadow Mist] spell and blinked over to the nearest flower. While the mist slowly encompassed the area, he picked the flower carefully and stored it in his storage ring.
Smiling because of his successful harvest, Ery was about to go to the second flower when so of the Duma had already awakened. Therefore, he sped up his actions in order to pick up a few more.
While Ery was doing his best to harvest the flowers as fast as he could, all the hundreds of Dumas had noticed his presence. And the bad news was, they were not fooled by the [Shadow Mist] spell.
Looking at those Dumas who were beginning to approach him en masse, Ery could not help but curse, "Dammit. This is harder than I thought."
All it took would be one wrong step for Ery. Just a touch from one creature and it would be ga over for him. Therefore, Ery kept casting [Blink], appearing and disappearing around the area for several minutes as he tried to dodge those gooey creatures.
He kept doing that until he realized that, sooner or later, there would be no more space for him to blink into. Hence, it was ti for a new tactic.
Ery casted [Shadow Root] and [Mudwall] simultaneously to create an opening space for him. While the [Shadow Root] bounded those near him, earthen walls rose from the ground, dividing the area into several sectors, which would limit the Dumas' movent.
Now that the situation was sowhat stabilized, Ery just had to be really, really careful.
"Just several more..."
A few minutes later, Ery finally managed to clean out all the flowers in this place. He was celebrating in his heart and was about to return back when he realized his way out was covered by dozens of those gooey creatures.
Not wanting to waste any ti, since he had already accomplished his goal here, Ery took a no-nonsense approach, as he casted his strongest spell [Dark Matter]. Channeling the spirit energy into swirling black energy on his hand, he imdiately fired the spell towards the clump of creatures blocking the way.
KABOOM!!!
Ery was blown away by strong gusts that resulted from the spell. Because of this, he accidentally ca into contact with one of the Dumas. The parts of his body touched by the Duma were instantly scorched by its acid.
The mont his brain registered the stinging pain on his shoulder, Ery imdiately casted [Blink], escaping from the Duma.
He then turned his eyes towards the entrance hoping that the path was clear, only to find the Dumas that were hit by his most powerful spell had almost returned to their previous state.
"I am in trouble, am I?" asked Ery to himself, smiling wryly.
Ery once again casted [Blink] to dodge the incoming group of Dumas. He decided to run to the furthest corner and heal himself first by using the [Nature Blessing] spell.
While the burns on his shoulder slowly healed, Ery began looking for a bright idea that could get him out of his current predicant. He sifted through and checked all the items inside his storage ring, and finally found sothing that might work.
[Freezing Potion - Tier 1]
Ery decided to try it by throwing it to one of the closest Duma.
*shatter*
As the potion bottle broke, the cyan liquid inside imdiately splashed over the monster, causing it to freeze.
Seeing the satisfying results, Ery was excited. He directly took out his Tier 3 sword and used [Heroic Slash]. The target, the frozen Duma.
PRANG!!
Loud piercing sound resounded through the air as the frozen monster was destroyed into pieces. More importantly, Ery could see that even though the ice began to lt, the monster was unable to reform to its original state. That ant he could finally kill them!
"This is it!"
Ery was about to kill those blocking the way using the sa thod, when he noticed a shiny crystal laying among the destroyed pieces of the Duma. It was a spirit stone… A yellow one. That was 100 spirit stones!
Curious about the matter, he decided to use the dozen or so Freezing Potions that he had and killed a dozen Duma with it. From them, Ery found 10 yellow stones, which ant the chances of Duma dropping them was a whopping 90 percent!
In an instant, Ery's brain began to calculate the numbers.
This could be the solution to his spirit stone drought.
