Chapter 343: Chaotic Mountain, Fruit Treasure.

Athan dashed forward right after releasing his spear. As the opponent cried in despair, Athan cut off his hand with a crude blade made of abyssal darkness.

After that, Arcued saw with his eyes wide like saucers as the black spear covered in black flame-like aura blasted into yellow light before consuming the man in darkness as nothing was left of him.

' Awesome...'

" Stop gawking and attack that ant-like chaos beast. "

Arcued snapped out of his thought as he started attacking the ant-like chaos beast with his pet chaos beast.

Athan also released Skymare Tingale and commanded it to attack.

With three of them joining forces, The ant-like chaos beast died in a minute.

Meanwhile, Athan took off the storage ring from the hand and checked its content.

Inside the storage, There mainly were some clothes, twenty thousand low-grade chaos stones, three scrolls, and a small box that was most likely filled with pills.

Athan opened the box to check its content, and indeed, he found the pills. The pills were in three separate glass containers, and there were five pills in the first two containers and three pills in the third container.

Athan knew about the pills inside the first two containers: One contained blood recovery pills, and another contained alignment cure pills.

As for the three pills inside the third container, He didn't know about them.

But at this time, Arcued arrived and looked at the bottle in Athan's hand before saying in a surprised voice, " Those are Trioboost instant Pills. It can instantly recover some order force, instantly heal some of your injuries, and gives a slight boost of power to your physical body. "

" Instant, huh? "Athan raised his eyebrows after hearing their effects. He didn't even see these pills in the store where he, Drizzly, Roselin, and others went to buy the pills. So, these pills must be rare.

" Yep, Instant effects. The materials to make these pills are slightly rare, and their demand are high along with the price. A single pill can cost you ten thousand to fifteen thousand low-grade chaos stones. "

While he was speaking, he saw Athan taking out a Trioboost instant pill and staring at it.

An hour passed, but Athan didn't move, and Arcued was getting antsy, He hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice, " Umm...can I get a share? Since we wor-"

*khakhad...*

Arcued was shocked to see Athan throwing the box containing the pill bottles to him as he hurriedly caught it.

" Take it. I don't need these pills. "

After saying this, Athan dumped out the clothes and other useless things from the storage ring. After that, He moved the chaos stones from the storage ring to his void region and then wore the empty storage ring on his finger.

He then also decided to put all things from the other storage ring he got from Drizzly inside his void region. After all, If something like Wonderland hunt happened again, He can't access his storage rings.

" Let's continue moving. "

*whistle...whistle...*

Time passed as everyone did their best to survive and to win this tournament.

Outside, Where the Envoy and others were waiting.

Many participants returned from this dangerous chaos phenom dimension after activating the mark of order due to facing life-threatening situations.

One of them was Celesti, who just returned a few minutes ago and was talking to Roselin and Shish. Drizzly was also there and waiting, just like many other families of participants.

The Envoy looked at the big portal as he thought, ' It's time for the chaos disaster to start. From now on, Only those who are lucky, have the ability, and tenacious will can survive. "

His appearance was that of a human except for a single vertical third eye on his forehead. He wore a golden embroidered white robe with a beautiful design, But the robe didn't look like some simple garment.

It's been a month since everyone entered this chaos phenom dimension, and since the envoy bought the portal of this dimension here, He knew that every month, A chaotic disaster would start inside this chaos phenom dimension and change the landscapes and atmosphere.

When only fifty people are left alive in this chaos phenom dimension, It will mark the end of this tournament.

The envoy stood up from his floating chair and announced, " The end is near. After a few hours, The remaining participants will either escape or die inside. Prepare to aid your injured relatives once they come out from the portal. "

Hearing this, Everyone became nervous and started wishing safety for their relatives who were inside the chaos phenom dimension.

.

.

" Athan...The atmosphere is turning bad. "

Athan was looking at the sky as he nodded in agreement with Arcued.

" Let's go. We will continue to move towards the direction of these lights. I feel like it's almost the end of the tournament. "

In the past many days, They encountered many difficulties, and Arcued almost died.

Just yesterday, Arcued's chaos beast died, and Athan's Skymare Tingale was also injured due to the sudden appearance of terrifying black winds.

But there was a trick; Once they descended a certain distance, Those black winds didn't hit them. Still, Even though they were saved by the protection from their pet chaos beasts while descending, Athan's Skymare Tingale was severely injured while Arcued's pet chaos beast lost its life.

Currently, Athan was flying by using his chaos matrix->lightning dust transformation while Arcued was walking on the ground.

Athan looked out for danger in the sky while Arcued looked for danger on the ground as they both followed the direction of the golden light.

After moving for a while, Athan and Arcued suddenly stopped as they sensed a powerful aura and saw a flying beast coming towards them that exuded the aura of an early-stage 3-star chaos beast.

" Athan! "

Athan narrowed his eyes as he stepped down while making his body bigger. He didn't know how, But it seems that these crafted armors and weapons would automatically adjust and it was likely due to the mystical powers of crafters. When he became bigger, His gloves and full body armor also stretched and became bigger to adjust to his body.

He became an eight-meter tall giant, Even bigger than the incoming early-stage 3-star chaos beast. But he knew that if he simply clashed his body with it, He would be ripped apart because of that terrifyingly big and sharp beak of the flying bird chaos beast.

His defensive order technique also can't work on physical objects, so he consumed thirty percent of abyssal darkness and covered both of his fists with it.

Seeing the giant Athan, The chaos beast screeched loudly and made him its target. This flying chaos beast had two sharp and powerful wings, and its beak was the main weapon. It looked strong physically, and since it attacks by dashing forward, Its physical power was its main forte.

Athan narrowed his eyes and focused on the beast, and just when its beak reached him, Athan ducked down and did a solid uppercut with his giant hand fist as it was sent flying in the sky.

*Screeeeeee.....*

The chaos beast screeched in pain as a hole formed in his stomach area where the black aura consumed its body.

But Athan knew that the fight was not over yet as he tightened the muscles on his legs and jumped with his full force.

*Crack...Swooosh...*

He overtook the beast before putting his palms together by crossing fingers and smacked the beast down on its head.

*Plop....*

The abyssal darkness easily broke through its defense before the beast was smacked into the ground.

*Booom...*

The beast stayed alive for a moment before it died.

Athan also descended and returned to his normal form before stretching his hands, ' It was hard. Especially its skull. '

That was the first time he encountered a chaos beast that only exuded pure physical power.

Arcued was impressed as always and would feel proud of himself about his decision to join Athan whenever he saw Athan beating the crap out of people and beasts who were stronger than him.

They continued their journey amidst this chaotic atmosphere that kept turning dangerous every minute.

" Athan, Is it just me, or are you also feeling the heaviness in the air? "

Athan nodded in agreement with a slight frown, " You're not alone, but we can't stay in one place. Increase the speed, and let's move faster towards that point. See, The lights are pointing at that mountain. "

Arcued looked in front of him and saw that Athan was right. He turned a bit excited and said, " I've always felt that it's a sign of the birth of natural treasure, and it should be true. Let's hurry up before others grab it. "

He then started using more strength to increase his running speed.

Athan saw him going forward and also increased his flying speed.

After half an hour, They saw the mountain with frost and hail. The strange thing was that this frosty atmosphere was only around the mountain.

A storm of snow surrounded this mountain, but all those shining lights in the sky were coming from the peak of this mountain and pointing at this place.

" Don't go in blindly. There are other people here. "

Arcued was just going to dash and climb the mountain before suddenly stopping after hearing Athan's words.

He smiled wryly and apologized.

Athan descended and stood near Arcued. His gaze was still at the peak of the mountain where the light was exuding, " Use your order technique to hide the presence. "

Hearing Athan, Arcued nodded as he activated his order technique.

Hazy mist surrounded him and Athan before they started walking to climb the mountain.

The mountain was big and was not straight steep, so they could just climb it by walking.

There was a reason why Athan didn't want to rush to the top.

He wanted to ambush and take the last laugh since he had the ability to stay stealth due to his own ability and Arcued's order technique. He had also already recovered his spent Abyssal darkness since he only spent thirty percent of it.

After ten minutes of steadily walking, They found more presence of people to the top and also sounds of battle.

" Athan, It looks like an intense fight is ongoing up there. " Arcued became nervous and sweated, " Should be back down? There are likely powerful Tier-3 people up there. "

Hearing him, Athan glanced at him with his eyes, and Arcuded put the finger on his own lips, indicating that he would shut up.

' Why do his eyes feel so scary? Whenever he looks at me with that indifferent expression and those eyes, I feel pressured. But...His eyes always had that light of excitement whenever such a dangerous situation comes. I feel like I will meet my death sooner if I stayed with Athan and kept up with his madness. '

Arcued was having his own thoughts because he remembered how ferociously Athan performed in the competition and started to feel a bit regretful.

' No! I don't regret it. I have survived until now, thanks to Athan, and I also got some loots. Arcued, You have to become even braver and keep up with Athan. A better future can only be secured by fighting for it. '

" Those fruits on the tree must be the treasures. But The tree is still shining, and it also seems to have a barrier around it. Hehehe..."

Hearing Athan's voice, Arcued snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the giant tree just a hundred meters in front of them. He then looked at Athan grinning and gulped because he saw many powerful auras and people fighting up there.

' Damn! I'm gonna do it! Following Athan has helped me in the past, and it will help me this time too. Those fruits look like they would help us progress considerably. '

Athan was forming plans while observing the fight and spoke after a few moments, " let's hide behind that rock and move very slowly and don't create the slightest of noise. "

Arcued looked at the rock pointed by Athan and almost pissed himself as he whispered, " That's too close. Let's choose a better hiding position. What if one of them sensed us there? "

" Stop talking crap, and let's go. "

" Sigh..."
