Chapter 703  A Monster That Is As Strong As The Dragon King

“The Crystal Tribe lives in that canyon,” Seff said with his arms crossed over his chest. “They are the allies of the Beastkin.

“Because of this arrangement, whenever one of our people is about to get married, they visit the Crystal Canyon to look for a gem that will then be used to make the ring for their Mate.

“So, go. The sooner you manage to get your crystal, the sooner we can start this wedding. Don’t make my daughter wait for weeks, okay?”

Ethan nodded. “I’ll find the best gems that I can find.”

“That’s what we all say.” Seff smirked. “But, there is no such thing as the best gem. The gem that you need is the gem that resonates most with your feelings. When you feel that sensation, you know that you have found the gem for you.”

After being given a few more tips on where to find good crystal deposits, Ethan flew towards the canyon.

The Crystal People who lived there looked like regular Humans.

The only difference was that they had gems embedded in their foreheads, their hands, and their chests.

Ethan greeted them politely, and told them their reason for his visit.

“We already knew that you were coming, so feel free to explore our Crystal Caves,” the Village Head of the Crystal People said. “Just one piece of advice. Beware the Crystal Beast. It is one of the Monsters that preys upon our people, and they can be found at the deepest part of the Crystal Cavern.”

“Can I kill them if they attack me?” Ethan inquired.

“Please do,” the Village Head replied. “They are birthed from the excess energy of the Crystals underground, so even if you kill them all, it will be only a matter of time before new Crystal Monsters are born again.”

Ethan nodded in understanding and thanked the Village Chief.

He planned to find the best crystal that he could find, so all of his lovers would have the same crystal in their rings.

Ten minutes after Ethan entered the cave, he immediately found his first crystal deposits.

After taking a good look at the green crystals, he didn’t sense anything special about them, so he headed deeper in the caverns.

As he went deeper, he suddenly felt the faint Crystal Energy that the Crystal People were talking about.

It was similar to Magical Power, but it was crude and untamed.

‘I have a feeling that I can use this excess energy to empower my cards with Rune Magic,’ Ethan thought.

However, he didn’t do such a thing because he didn’t know what the consequences of draining the crystals of their energy might be.

The young man observed the crystal clusters that he saw along his journey, and deemed that there was no special attraction that he felt upon seeing them.

Seff told him that when he found the crystal that he was looking for, he would know it instantly because his body would have a strong reaction to it.

Using that as his guide, Ethan continued to head deeper and deeper until the energy in his surroundings became too thick to ignore.

It was as if he was wading through a muddy swamp, and his movements were being restricted by the thick energy coming from the crystals.

Suddenly, he saw something move at the corner of his eye, which made him instinctively summon his Sea God’s Trident.

As the power surged inside his body, Ethan came face to face with a Crystal Dragon, whose jaws were already wide, ready to unleash a Crystal Breath that would turn him into a block of crystal.

But, before the Crystal Dragon could even unleash its deadly attack, Ethan had already closed the distance between them and swung his trident upwards.

The trident hit the bottom of the Dragon’s chin, and sent its head crashing into the ceiling of the cavern.

The sound of countless crystals breaking spread in the surroundings as the Crystal Dragon collapsed on the ground.

Although it was seriously injured, the Dragon didn’t plan to give up and roared at Ethan angrily.

“Dainslef, can you eat this?” Ethan asked as he summoned the Ancient Wendigo.

“I can try,” Dainsleif replied before reappearing beside the enraged Crystal Dragon.

The Ancient Wendigo smashed his fist at the side of the Crystal Dragon’s face, making it cry out in pain as its body slammed on the wall of the cavern.

After his battle with Seff, Dainsleif gained a better understanding of his Martial Ability, so he decided to test it on the Crystal Dragon, which was known for its extraordinary defenses.

Unfortunately, its extraordinary defenses weren’t a match for Ethan, who was already strong to begin with.

However, after touching the Sea God’s Trident, his strength once again rose, making even the hardest of the Crystal Dragon’s scales not a match for his superhuman strength.

Dainsleif, who was also able to use the power of Faith through his Master, didn’t have a problem in pummeling the Crystal Dragon with a barrage of punches.

Only the sound of its pain-filled roar echoed inside the cavern, making all the other Crystal Monsters run away because of the threat that Ethan and the Ancient Wendigo posed to them.

When the Crystal Dragon uttered its dying roar, Dainsleif turned into a black mist and covered its entire body, consuming it completely.

Ethan sat cross-legged on the ground as he waited for his servant to finish its absorption.

Twenty minutes later, Dainsleif had finally finished absorbing the Dragon.

“Master, take a look at this,” Dainsleif said as he held a blue, tear-drop crystal which was as big as a basketball.

It was the Crystal Dragon’s Core.

Dainsleif knew that his Master was looking for special crystals, so he didn’t absorb the Core and presented it to the young man first.

If Ethan didn’t need it, he would consume it right away.

The young man took the crystal from the Ancient Wendigo’s hands and gave it a closer look.

As he stared at its crystal-clear surface, he suddenly felt as if he was being pulled towards it.

When Ethan regained his senses, he found himself staring at what seemed to be a world made up of crystal.

But, to his surprise, he wasn’t alone.

There, he saw a familiar Demon, who was looking at him with a mischievous smile on his face.

“Ashmedai, why are you here?” Ethan asked.

“I was just bored, so I decided to talk to you for a bit,” Ashmedai replied. “Do you have time right now?”

Ethan wanted to say that he was busy, but he was sure that even if he did that, Ashemdai would still do what he wanted.

“What is it?” Ethan asked. For some reason, he wasn’t liking the smile on the Demon’s face because it was making him feel that the Progenitor was up to no good.

“Don’t be like that, Ethan,” Ashmedai wagged his finger left and right with his devilish smile plastered on his face. “I came here to tell you where the crystal you are looking for is located.

“This is the least that I can do for you as your Patron, so will you listen to my advice?”

Ethan nodded because he just wanted his talk with Ashmedai to end as soon as possible.

“At the deepest part of this Cavern lay a sleeping Monster that has been sleeping for over a thousand years,” Ashmedai stated. “It is a beast that the current you cannot defeat. However, the crystal that you are looking for is located on its forehead.

“You can try to get it, but if, for some reason, the Monster wakes up, make sure to run as fast as you can. Strong as you may be, there are still some creatures in this world that you shouldn’t face no matter what.”

“What kind of monster is it?” Ethan asked, finally feeling curious about this monster that the Progenitor was telling him.

“The pet of the Crystal Colossi, Zogerass,” Ashmedai answered. “A monster that is as strong as the Dragon King, and as hard as ancient crystals. If you are going to approach it, do approach it with great care.

“And no matter what happens, don’t fight it if you accidentally wake it up. All you need to do is run. It is a gentle beast by nature, but when enraged, it is akin to a calamity. You don’t want people dying because of your desire to find the best crystal for your lovers, right?”

Ashmedai was paying close attention to Ethan, so the moment he entered the cave, he immediately understood that he must warn the boy of the danger that lurked within it before it was too late.
