Chapter 62: Wyba’s Discovery

Everyone had agreed to leave the forest zone, so they started to look for a path to reach another area.

On their way, they tried to fly for short amounts of time to get more accustomed to flying with the Wind Wings spell. Wyba wasn’t able to fly, so she remained at the top of Yale’s head while they were flying, she seemed to enjoy it a lot.

Before reaching the next zone, Yale had managed to increase Wind Wings to the second level.

The group spent two days to reach the next area. However, that area was all submerged in water.

The only way to advance was to swim or fly, but their Wind Wings wouldn’t be able to last enough to cross the entire area.

“Do we keep going by swimming across, or do we go back and look for another way?”

Kermu asked as he wasn’t proficient at battling in water if some aquatic monster attacked them, they would face a difficult situation.

“I am able to battle inside the water, but I am the healer of the group. If I am the only one battling our chances would be slim.”

Serka also had a perfect water affinity and obtained the same Passive Skill as Yale, receiving something from a perfect grade affinity was somewhat random, but in the water element, Underwater Breathing was the most common reward even if not everyone got it.

“I can also battle inside the water, but I am not used to it, so my prowess would be lower than usual.”

Yale had never tried to battle inside the water, he never even tried to swim before. However, as he could breathe inside the water, even if he didn’t float or swim he wouldn’t die.

Nurvey didn’t say anything, but she shook her head, Yale guessed that she didn’t want to advance swimming.

“I can’t swim, and I doubt that I can even float, there is no way I can advance to next area by swimming. Kermu, didn’t you have a boat or something like that in that top-grade spatial artifact?”

Hyrk’s main elements were Fire and Earth, the water and he didn’t match well.

“I have some boats, but they aren’t for long travel. Furthermore, if a monster appears, they would be broken in seconds, and we will be forced to battle in water.”

Kermu as the one who formed the group was the most well prepared, but he didn’t think that they would need to have a long journey by water.

“I have an idea. I am skilled in using ice so I can make an ice path. However, my energy won’t last for too long. Wyba should be able to help me, but even with both of us creating the path it would be difficult. I don’t know how much time it would be until we were able to cross the zone.”

Casting Ice Spear to the water could form an improvised path that everyone could walk, but Yale could only throw twenty-two ice spears before getting exhausted.

Even manipulating them to have the form of a path and using the surrounding water to increase their area, the distance each one would cover would still be low.

“That would be a good solution, we don’t know how many time we would waste trying to find another path, and there is the possibility it also leads to this zone. Advancing by an ice path is a good idea, and the consumption rate of your energy is easily solved. I have uncountable pills for restoring energy, they weren’t the best for a battle as their effects aren’t extremely fast, but they don’t have any after effects. Thus you can eat them without worries.”

Kermu’s pills were used for training, with a stable rate of consumption. Medicines that could restore the energy at the rate it was used in battle without after effects were expensive even for Kermu.

Yale was thankful to have such a wealthy teammate. Yale alone could have traversed the zone by water, but with Wyba he needed an alternative as she couldn’t breathe under the water. Yale needed those medicinal pills to be able to leave the zone by walking on the ice path.

In fact, the nobles also were unable to cross the zone without Yale’s help, the difficulty of the special realm was far higher than their clans had suspected.

“With those medicinal pills it should be possible, but the consumption will be enormous, I don’t know how big is this zone.”

“Don’t worry; you can have as many pills as you need. We all need to cross this zone, but you will be the one doing the work, I would be shameless if I am stingy with the pills.”

As Kermu didn’t mind about how many pills Yale needed there wasn’t any other problem to make the ice path.

The others in the group didn’t have to do anything, so they didn’t complain about the plan to advance.

Yale started to use Ice Spear to create a stable path across the water; it was resistant enough to let everyone walk without danger.

Even if Yale was the one doing almost all the work, Wyba helped sometimes.

Yale was happy to do the work because his mastery of the Ice Spear was rising without stop, even his Origin Points were increasing due to use and recover them without stop.

After one day of travel, the group reached a small island where they stopped to rest.

Walking for an entire day on an ice floor wasn’t the best for their bodies, that ice floor was very different from walking on the normal ground.

Yale was tired, but he was delighted about his progress, his Origin Points reached twenty-eight, and his Ice Spear went from the fourth level to the sixteenth in a mere day.

The island wasn’t very big, and the trap detecting artifacts didn’t react to anything, so they decided to explore it before continuing.

Sadly, the group didn’t find anything on the island, but as they were about to leave the island, Wyba refused to go.

“What happens Wyba?”

Yale asked while patting Wyba’s head.

“There…something…”

That was the second time Wyba spoke, even if only Yale understood her words.

Even if the words didn’t say a lot, they gave Yale enough clues to know that there was something off in the island.

“We shouldn’t leave, Wyba noted something strange in the island, probably we didn’t detect it before.”

“Wyba usually is very obedient; she wouldn’t refuse to leave the island without reason. There should really be something on this island. Maybe there is something that couldn’t be detected using the eyes, but the nose.”

Kermu got the point, Wyba didn’t research the island a lot, but she detected something, and wolves had a better smell sense than humans.

“Wyba, can you guide us?”

As Yale asked it, Wyba nodded her little head and started running.

Nurvey followed running behind her; she wasn’t able to continue resisting Wyba’s cuteness after seeing how she cutely nodded.

The others followed behind them until they found Wyba being hugged by Nurvey in front of a big rock.

“Nurvey, if you hug Wyba like that, she can’t show us the way.”

Serka was the one who spoke to Nurvey.

“Wyba stopped here.”

Yale, Hyrk, and Kermu started to search in the area after they heard Nurvey’s words, but they hadn’t found anything.

“The rock over there, maybe there is something under it?”

That rock was just in front of where Wyba stopped, and it was quite big, so Yale guessed that it was possible for something being hidden under it.

“I will move the rock.”

Hyrk was the one who offered to move the rock, his physical body was the strongest, and he also knew many skills to reinforce it more.

Furthermore, he was feeling bad as he wasn’t able to help the group. Yale and Kermu were the ones who made possible reach the island, Serka was a healer who was always useful no matter where they were. And Nurvey’s support spells and defensive formation were top-class.

Hyrk wasn’t even able to tank well in the previous battle against the eagle, so he wanted to do something useful.

As Hyrk moved the rock, a passageway hidden under it appeared.

“There was really something under it. This time we have to thank Wyba.”

Kermu was happy after seeing the passage; maybe it led to a legacy or to another area, then they wouldn’t need to continue walking on the ice path above the sea.

Everyone entered the passage and advanced slowly until the path stopped going down.

In front of them was a long cavern-like corridor. The group had reached an underwater cave.

There was a lot of possibilities of a legacy being inside, so they were delighted about the discovery.

After advancing a while, Yale heard a laugh which he immediately disliked; he knew who was the one behind that laugh.

Murderous intent emanated from Yale as his expression turned cold again.

The other also heard the laugh and saw the change in Yale’s expression; it wasn’t difficult to guess that Yale and the one who was laughing were enemies.
