Chapter 207: Chapter 143: One’s Own Extreme Battle Intent (2)

By rights, since Iz had instantly killed the Demon, it belonged to him.

Besides, it looked like Kumironi and Obades didn’t want it anyway.

As for Lu Cang, who had opened the door...

Iz looked toward him.

"This Soul Water seems pretty interesting. I’ll mess around with it for a couple of days, then give it to you."

"Okay then," Lu Cang replied.

Lu Cang didn’t really mind. He had no idea what the Soul Water was used for, and it wasn’t certain he would even need it.

He had no objection to Iz keeping it for himself.

It was his to begin with.

After wiping out the entire Soul Sea, Iz acted as if nothing had happened.

’I wonder if that Root Magic cost him anything.’

’It doesn’t seem like the cost was very high.’

The scariest thing isn’t a powerful spell. It’s an incredibly powerful spell that the caster can use as casually as a basic attack.

As someone who had Multiple Casting and whose Magic Power was always full, Lu Cang knew this feeling all too well.

They returned to the Cave of Desperate Wails.

It instantly felt like the inside and the outside were two different dimensions.

Iz touched the edge of the door.

His eyes were filled with excitement.

"I never imagined this door’s structure would be so intricate."

Lu Cang also touched the door, but he didn’t feel anything special about it.

"Alas, it’s a shame your understanding of Space isn’t deep enough. You can’t appreciate its wonders."

"If you were a Level 4 Mage, you’d be able to understand its intricacies."

’Iz...’

’I already know my Level is low, you don’t have to rub it in.’

’Because my Level is too low, I can’t learn either the Ancient Lost Magic or the Soul Magic that dropped today.’

’And now there’s some special knowledge I can’t grasp because I have no feel for Space.’

’Sigh.’

’A Mage’s Level really is important.’

"Iz, do you think this Dungeon can be Sacrificed?"

After Lu Cang asked this question, Chi Cheng also looked at Iz seriously.

For Lu Cang, safety was always paramount.

But from the looks of it, Iz could handle even a Tier Six Submerged Land Level Demon with ease.

He might even be able to do it all by himself.

Chi Cheng, Kumironi, and Obades hadn’t even had to lift a finger.

"It should be... no problem."

"Even if a few dozen more show up... we probably wouldn’t need to worry too much."

’Heh...’

’A few dozen?’

’What a shameless boast. If anyone else had said that, I wouldn’t have believed them for a second.’

"Yeah, brother..."

Chi Cheng had already leaned over and put his arm around Lu Cang’s shoulders.

"Think about it, on this entire Ruelun Continent, this is the only Tier Six Dungeon right now. Soon, even Tier Five Dungeons will be hard to find."

"Think about it, a Tier Four Nation Destruction Level Demon can sell for hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins. A Tier Six Submerged Land Level Demon, how much would that be worth?"

"Brother, I know you’re not short on money."

"But think about it! The materials from the bodies of Tier Six Submerged Land Level Demons—what amazing equipment and items could you craft? Wouldn’t that be a powerful safety net for you when you face danger in the future?"

"Plus..." Chi Cheng glanced at Iz, then whispered in Lu Cang’s ear.

"Didn’t Iz invest a lot of Tier Seven materials into forging the Spiritual Star Ring Staff for you? How could you repay him with something as common as Gold Coins? But if you use the carcass of a Tier Six Submerged Land Level Demon, wouldn’t that be an equivalent exchange?"

"And another thing! Don’t you need a War Spear? The Spiritual Star Ring Staff isn’t strong enough as it is, is it? Doesn’t it need some extra materials to turn it into a sturdy, indestructible War Spear? You wouldn’t want to shatter your precious Magic Staff in the middle of an intense close-quarters fight, would you?"

’A devil...’

’Truly, the whispers of a devil.’

Lu Cang was actually very conflicted about this proposal. A Tier Six Dungeon was, after all, still too dangerous for him.

Iz and the others were reliable, true, but Lu Cang’s personality was to avoid danger at all costs. He wouldn’t touch anything unless his own strength far surpassed the known risks.

’But everything Chi Cheng said...’

’Sigh.’

’I really do have to repay my debt to Iz. And if we don’t clear this Tier Six Dungeon today, who knows when we’ll get another chance.’

’I can’t very well repay him for Tier Seven materials with loot from Tier Five Demons, can I?’

Lu Cang remembered the help everyone had given him.

If there was a chance to repay this kindness, Lu Cang would naturally do it.

’Besides...’

Lu Cang looked at the Magic Staff in his hand.

’This Spiritual Star Ring Staff really isn’t strong enough.’

’Ai Jin did say that when the staff was first designed, it was only meant for a Mage’s style of combat, not for close-quarters fighting.’

’The later Enhancement only roughly bolstered its strength, but it still can’t withstand high-intensity melee combat.’

’He’d especially emphasized that I must never use the staff to block enemy attacks.’

"Alright, Brother Chi Cheng."

"Let’s go out and Sacrifice this Dungeon..."

Lu Cang finally caved.

"Haha! That’s my brother! Just trust us!"

THUMP THUMP—

Chi Cheng clapped Lu Cang on the back and laughed heartily. "You handle the Enhancements, we’ll handle the slaughter!"

"You’ll get a share of everything we kill! We’re all bros!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Lu Cang looked at Kumironi and Obades.

Kumironi looked slightly resigned, but she didn’t object.

It seemed she also had enough faith in Iz’s and Chi Cheng’s strength.

"Don’t worry, the two of us, Iz and I, are invincible among Level 6s. Even if the strongest Tier Six Demon came, it would be beaten to a pulp by us."

"One warrior, one Mage—unmatched in all the world, you get me?"

Iz didn’t object, just nodded with a confident little laugh. "Actually, I don’t need him. I’m unmatched in all the world even on my own."
