Dorian snuck his draconic head over a stone ledge, spying down upon a ed in a battle with a trio of large creatures that appeared to be hthead, would be virtually undetectable, especially to a team in the e bears, standing nearly 3 roup, three of the red spears to strike at the bears, while the fourth stood off to the side, not doing anything visible Dorian could tell The Wizard did have his hands clasped together, though, a co a spell

‘Brown Boulder Bears Master Class ranking beasts that have no Abilities, but a tough exterior that resembles stone’ Ausra sounded off in his head, informative as usual

‘Ho help?’ He took another moment to look over the data for the bloodline The defensive strength of his Giant Myyr Dragon scales definitely needed a boost, considering those Master Class leopards had htly

WHOOSH

BOOM

A shockwave rang through the air as a fe a s with the side of one of the towering bears

The bear was knocked backwards through the air, sailing over a few of the other fighters Several large cracks were revealed on its rocky exterior as it stu back toward the fray

He saw anotheranother one of the bears with ease Each time his spear collided with the bear, cracks appeared on its rocky exterior and the bear was knocked backwards

‘They seeed Master Class beasts were not exactly common, but he was sure he’d be able to find other Brown Boulder Bears if he truly wanted to

‘Not my business’

He turned around and left

"Wrap it up, guys!&8221; Rathven bellowed out, his chest heaving He wiped a sheen of sweat off his forehead, looking down at the corpse of the Brown Boulder Bear

He, a Grandh the bear’s tough exterior For a Master Class beast they were ridiculously difficult to kill

"Dolen, gather up all the blood and store it We’ll have to leave the bodies, and it’s not like they’re worth , but with the state they’d left the bodies in, not even a Lord Class Wizard studying Necroic would be interested in thee to transport

"Yes sir!&8221; One of the four Wizards aer Sky Class Wizard that specialized in Blood Magic, like er side, a relatively new addition to his squad

He sighed as he thought about it His entire hunting troop had taken several losses in the past couple days The death of the City Lord had shaken the city, and several battles had broken out between the Palace Lords

The only reason they had intel on this Golden Apple at all was because of a few pieces of paper Palace Lord Gorth found when looting the re a Palace Lord was a luxurious job that guaranteed your future, but it also caer

He turned his focus back to his men, specifically on one Wizard in particular The only Wizard in the troop that didn’t study Blood Magic

Harrey leather arroup, hter He wasn’t exactly the bravest of Wizards, but he was the best Fate Wizard serving under Gorth

"Alright, Harht, blonde-hairedcrystal from his Spatial Pouch It was an artifact created to the specifications Palace Master Gorth had given the to hiy that would resonate with the Golden Apple

It had a wide search radius of more than ten thousand meters It was also extremely expensive, and could only be used once In addition, anyone relatively near the Resonance Crystal would feel the location of the Golden Apple just as strongly as the person holding the crystal would It was a flaw that couldn’t be resolved The crystal needed the range in order to successfully find the natural treasure

Despite the downsides, this was the only realistic way they would find the Golden Apple Natural treasures eht up next to them, and Gorth didn’t know exactly where the fruit was, only that it existed in the deeper region of the Overbal Canyon

"Do a check on the surroundings before we go&8221; He ordered The resonance created by the crystal was obscure, and few beasts would even be able to comprehend it Only those at the Master Class or above had a chance

"Cast Fate for any Master Class wild beasts or stronger Be specific, search for exactly what I said Also, do a scan for any huer&8221; Fate was a difficult thing to scan, he ell aware

"Ma-Master Class wild beasts or stronger, huot it&8221; Harether nervously A layer of sweat covered the Wizard despite the fact that he did literally nothing in the last coan to shine froradually faded, and Harmen’s eyes returned to normal

"These were the last of them, Ser Rathven&8221; His voice was respectful despite the the sah his cravenness still made Rathven look down on the Fate Wizard

"There are no ild beasts or huher in the a-area&8221; He said with a semblance of confidence His scan of Fate had turned up surprisingly clear results

Rathven nodded, pleased They’d been forced to clear out the Brown Boulder Bears they’d found, but so far those were the only challenging beasts they’d faced They’d seen a single other potential Master Class beast, but it had fled once it saw the size of their party and felt a few Blood Spears sent out by the troop’s Blood Wizards

"Aina&8221; He called out to his trusted partner, waving her over The fe watch while instructing so it?&8221; Aina’s face scrunched up as she looked at the Resonance Crystal nervously, her stone hammers clutched in her hands

Rathven nodded a second time

"Everyone, look alive!&8221; They needed to move quickly once they felt the resonance There would be no time to lose, it would only last for a limited time

He took a deep breath and then crushed the crystal in his hand

An instant after, an invisible wave of energy blasted out

Just as Dorian was getting into his groove, starting to rush away fro swept over hi into the stone floor of the canyon as he went on high alert His eyes darted to the left and right as his giant for happened

He frowned, taking in his surroundings

The deeper he traveled into the canyon, the larger and larger the stray or jutting boulders and stones appeared The path he took was gradually transfore, ten to twenty reen vegetation grew on ed, ancient feel

For so sensation when he looked to the north, further into the recesses of the danger zone A tugging sensation, as if so for was located there

"How odd…&8221; He htly

‘Ausra? Any ideas on this?’ He queried, staring in the direction of the feeling

‘Gathering information from your senses… It appears to be soic Herb of some sort, an artifact, or a beast’ Ausra’s reply took only a scant second to appear

"Oh? Alright&8221; He smiled All of those options sounded acceptable to hi in the direction of the group he’d spotted

There was no way so like this happened out of the blue It wasso to be polite enough to lead him to some rare treasure or beast… as he to turn the Fate that was responsible for this, but, well, he wasn’t going to complain

The worst that would happen was that he’d run into the Solar Rock Lizard, the deadliest creature in the area

And since that was the whole reason he was here…

Dorian began to barrel forward in the direction of the feeling in his mind His draconic forly fast despite his massive form

His Giant Myyr From was definitely slohen it caes When it cae forreat deal of speed and cover a lot of ground quickly

As the rocky pillars and boulders grew larger and larger, Dorian began to glide forward after each jued to pierce the foggybecarew to be a powerful sense of knowledge, that soht in front of him

By the time he had reached the i from, the boulders and pillars of stone noered forty or fifty h, but only half a dozen to a dozen meters thick They were spread out in haphazard formation, anywhere froh room for hi stone boulder, a sh It stood well above him, but didn’t look any special compared to the other nearby rocks

He eyed it curiously The feeling he sensed had drawn hi inside the rock for underneath it

He looked at it and then shrugged There was no point in delaying

With a grunted growl, Dorian slammed his nearly seven meter tall draconic body into the stone pillar

CRASH

He had underestith A se boulder disintegrated, destroyed by his Giant Myyr Dragon forth He winced as several particularly sharp rocks pinged off his wings, leaving white e to pierce through theht His defense wasn’t entirely worthless

Heaway the cluttered rocks and stray shards of stones hat rerew just a little bit stronger

He moved aside several more stones, and the sensation reached a crescendo

Revealing a pair of softly glowing golden fruits One gloith a faint red color, while the other gave off a pale green light Dorian’s eyes lit up with excitement as he saw theined a fantasy treasure would look like

‘Ausra? What are those?’
