Chapter 1097 The Island's Key

Without hesitation, Theo placed his hand on the dragon's body, turning the dragon into four cards, two Skill Cards and two Material Cards.

Skill: Multiply (A)

Description: Generate a part of the user's body. Limit: 10

Skill: Body Explosion (B)

Description: Generate an explosion that harms everything around the body instead of the body.

Name: Volcano Dragon's Eye (B)

Description: The eye of the Volcano Dragon. Due to the dragon's living around the volcano, the Dragon Eye has absorbed a portion of the Volcanic Materials. If it's put in the water, it can give a rejuvenating effect from wound recovery to slow aging.

Name: Volcano Dragon's Heart (A)

Description: An organ where the Volcano Dragon gathered its power. It contains a huge amount of fire energy.

"Hoh?!" Theo widened his eyes, astonished with these four items. "Are you sure you don't want this? I've gotten four. So, I think it's better for all of us to get one each."

"That's…" The three of them were indeed tempted when they saw how good the Cards from the dragon were. However, they had a principle. Since they had given him the right to the corpse, there was no way they would retract their decision.

Maya smiled and waved her hand. "Nah, it's fine. Though, if you want to sell it, I don't mind buying it from you."

"That's right. I don't need it." Mark nodded with a calm expression. None of them were actually tempting for him, except for the Multiply Skill Card. However, Theo and other people would certainly pick this skill, so it was better to give up.

As for Isaac, he was simply laughing. "I would be tempted if you didn't say all that earlier. You're the boss; it's yours."

Theo smiled at their decision but still asked one more time to confirm it. "Are you sure? If you ignore the fact it's an eye, the material will be useful for you, Maya. I know that you're tempted. Also, if you have this Multiply Skill, you can shoot multiple bullets at once."

"Don't tempt me unless you're planning to sell them." Maya harrumphed before thinking, 'Besides, there is someone more suited than me to receive that card.'

Theo didn't know that Maya knew what he was planning to do. That was right. Theo was planning to send the Dragon Eye to Agata. It was such a shame that he couldn't meet her, so at the very least, he should give this one to her.

As for Multiply Skill, Theo simply wasn't as interested as the first time now that he knew the skill's weakness. Since it could only multiply his outer body parts, it was useless to take it since he could simply use his Illusion to do the trick.

Hence, Theo decided to keep the Skill Card for the time being. As for Body Explosion, it was a skill with Fire Affinity. None of them could use this skill. Hence, Theo was planning to store the card somewhere else as a resource to upgrade his skill to A Rank.

Unlike this skill, the Multiply Skill felt a bit too much for him to use the skill to upgrade his skill's rank.

That left the Dragon Heart. It was a precious material, considering it contained powerful fire energy.

In the end, he stored all these cards in his personal bags, making sure he took these cards back.

Then, Theo said, "Okay. We should have saved the island, right? I don't think I need to say it, but there's no need to tell anyone about this secret. I mean, the dragon was related to the sinking island, right? In that case…"

Theo paused for a moment. However, all of them understood the meaning behind his words as their heads turned to the volcano.

"Are you telling me the volcano is the secret of this island?" Isaac widened his eyes in shock and stared at the volcano. He had watched it on the Skynet how an island was formed by a volcano.

An underwater volcano would eject numerous materials and continuously grow the island, but that wasn't possible for this island because it had been submerging and resurfacing a couple of times.

Hence, this theory couldn't be used to explain what was going on with this island.

"No, no. The submerging part is about a barrier." Theo shook his head and explained. "There is a barrier protecting the entire island. I don't know the usage of the barrier… It can be a barrier to make the island submerge or it can be a barrier that reflects the light, making everyone think the island submerged."

"Mhm. That's kinda true. There are various theories that I can put in, but I think there are two theories that can match the situation. The first one is that the island sinks back to the ocean with that barrier, protecting the vegetation. But in that case, it needs sunlight to maintain the lives on this island, or the vegetation would have died after a few years.

"As for the second theory, the barrier is providing an illusion that fools us. But this theory has a fatal flaw… Someone has once come back here to search for the island, but the island feels like it's disappeared. Illusion won't be able to do it." Isaac narrowed his eyes, contemplating the real theory without flaw.

"However, you are missing one point, Isaac." Theo smiled and pointed to the ground.

"What do you mean?" Isaac looked down to the ground, confused. He thought Theo was talking about the submerging case, but he soon realized Theo was pointing elsewhere.

He remembered the master of this island was staying underground near the volcano. In other words, she might be able to do something mysterious to this island due to that weird Magic Power.

And the only reason why the dragon could actually sink the island must be because the volcano was the key she needed to make the island disappear.

"So, that's how it is… The secret lies in the volcano! If the humans research the volcano, they can understand how the island can appear and disappear periodically." Isaac gasped as he stated, "If the method is known, the human might be able to create a base under the sea whether it's on this side or on Earth. Even though I'm a scientist that wants to pursue the truth, I think I will die if I continue this research… Obviously, humans also shouldn't know this reason."
