Plundering in the Apocalypse

More than a hundred Mettle Turtles were there. A dungeon where finding monsters is the most difficult task. Where monsters avoid fights and are best at escaping and enduring. A wave of those monsters was frantically approaching them. To be more precise the mysterious plant that gave off an amazing amount of mana and the appetizing scent was enough to make them mad.

Shin's magic eyes were activated all this time. He waited until all the turtles were in range.

"Where is the trap you mentioned?" Aurora asked, with her voice full of excitement.

"It's here," Shin mumbled and raised his hands towards those monsters and activated his ability.

"HellFire!!!"

Huge walls of purple-black flames surrounded the entirety of closely packed monsters. Not leaving any room for escape. Those majestic flames raised to the sky complimenting the eerie environment of this dungeon.

*Kree*

*Kree**Kree*

All the monsters were now trapped. Though there were some very far away who were not affected by the plant. It doesn't matter.

What matters is the next step.

Aurora's eyes shined in amazement. 'As I thought, there was something special about this guy. Not only is his vitality high, but his ability is also amazing.'

Contrary to Aurora's expression, Emily's mouth was wide open in shock and disbelief. 'What the?' She never expected Shin to be this strong. Although he was way below her master's level. He was still far stronger than her.

If she was attacked with those flames she would have died in seconds.

'I looked down on him so much.' Thinking of this Emily felt embarrassed. She then turned to her master who treated Shin very nicely since the moment they met. 'Sure enough, her master's vision is great.'

'If they can somehow join hands with Alice and Shin. Maybe their aim will be achieved much faster.'

"Are you not going to kill them?" Seeing that the flames were not moving instead they were just standing in one place Aurora asked.

Wouldn't it have been better to kill them off with those flames?

Fully understanding her thoughts Shin replied. "If I do that nothing will be left. What we are searching for may also be destroyed in these flames."

Without further explanation, Shin turned to Alice.

"Alice, your turn."

Nodding her head Alice closed her eyes and the next moment her eyes gave a red glint. Her blue eyes turned crimson red but other than that. She was in her normal form.

She focused and snapped her fingers.

"Soul Paralysis."

At that moment a large amount of Chaotic energy flowed around her body and shot into the sky forming a black orb. In the next moment like a black rain. Those rain attacks hit the turtles contained inside the walls of hellfire.

Grueling sounds could be heard and sometime later everything stopped.

"It's done. They are paralyzed." Alice said simply.

Aurora and Emily both of them thought of the same thing.

'What the heck was that?!!'

What did she do now?

Shin nodded his head with a smile. "Okay, let's go and see if we can get it."

Aurora must have also been very confused. Though he couldn't see her expression because of the hood. Seeing Emily's confused expressions. Shin explained a few things about Mana stone. Like it's the material they were after. That's about it.

Shin calmly walked toward the wall of flames. Some flames subsided making a way for him.

Others also followed after him. The scene was spectacular. All the Mettle Turtles were lying on the ground unable to make an inch. They were paralyzed.

This made it easier for Shin to search for the Mana stones.

Alice also started searching for Mana stones. Aurora also helped them. After waiting for a few minutes Emily decided to join in.

While glancing everywhere he noticed some abnormality in one of the turtles. His shell was a little bigger than others.

Soon his eyes brightened and a smile formed on his face.

"I found it."

He took out the Formless and scraped it with some difficulty.

He took the piece of shell in his hand and smiled.

[Mana stone]

He found one. He showed the same to Alice and others.

"So, this is a mana stone. How fascinating." Aurora mumbled but because of her robe, her expression was perfectly hidden.

Alice looked at it carefully. Then started searching for it.

'I will ask for a reward later once I find that stone. Hehehe~'

Though she could have eased her work if she used the Soul Servants. But because of Aurora and Emily. She decided to not use it for the time being.

After all, Emily and Aurora have not revealed any information yet. They are hiding their abilities and information. Though Shin already knows it because of his skill. But until they reveal it themselves. She can't put her trust in them.

So the search continued and after searching for hours more mana stones were collected. In total, he had 9 Low-quality Mana stones.

"The paralysis effect is about to end," Alice stated.

"Okay, just wait a minute," Shin said and ran in a certain direction. All his steps perfectly avoided those turtles.

Alice and the others went after him. To their surprise, he was digging out a plant. It was the same mysterious plant he planted before.

"I thought it must have been eaten by those turtles?" Aurora said. She felt it was such a waste that a mysterious plant was wasted on monsters.

"No way, am I letting them have it," Shin said while pouting to the ground.

"After planting it, I already set up a trap here. So they had no way of eating it." Shin didn't explain much. Because there was no need to.

He had used Gravity Control surrounding this plant so no one could have approached it. All the turtles were repelled. Their attacks were not strong enough to get past gravity control.

So the plant was protected very well.

After collecting the plant they made their way out of the walls of flames.

Soon the monsters' paralysis was over. But there were already covered in a sea of black flames.

He used HellFire to eliminate all of them.

"The work is done here. Let's go back."
