Chapter 107


    Hidden Hollows was once a treasure of thend, a vibrant ce pulsing with energy. Now, it had


    turned into a grisly battlefield, where the ng of steel and cries of the wounded filled the air. Many


    Elixir Herbs and Elixir Fruits were stained with blood and trampled into the dirt by the chaotic


    throngs of Magi-Monsters. The surging energy filled the space, causing the mountains to tremble


    and an unending cascade of boulders to fall, adding to the pandemonium.


    The Cobalt Strike Protégés, bands of mercenaries, and hordes of Magi-Monsters shed fiercely,


    all driven mad in their quest for magical treasure. Even members of the Cobalt Strike Protégés


    fought each other over the spoils. The situation was out of control, and everyone was blinded by the


    lust for treasure.


    Cedrick and Myke, having spotted their prizes, charged into the fray.

    vin, too, found something in a secluded corner of the battlefield, buried under dust and rubble,


    emitting only the faintest of glows, unnoticed in the chaos. He dodged everyone and the Magi-


    Monsters, moving through the shadows, and upon shifting the heavy stones, found it was a clump


    of Elixir Herbs.


    Arge patch of Elixir Herb, grew wild among the rocks, and in the center of the cluster was an


    irregr stone, looking like an overturned pot lid, embedded with magical ores—sixteen at a nce,


    with even more inside.


    "Beautiful!" vin eximed, spreading out his beast-skin satchel and harvesting all the Elixir


    Herbs. He then used his ancient sword to cleave the stone from its roots and tucked it into his


    satchel.


    A great Ironback Bear suddenly appeared beside vin, imposing and fierce, its bearish fury


    almost palpable. With a swipe of its massive ws, it attacked.


    vin tumbled backward, performing a 360-degree evasion to appear directly beneath the bear''s


    belly, from where heunched a powerful upward strike.


    Goliath Force, second phrase, Colossus Power.


    Boom! The tremendous blow surged into the bear''s belly. Its mighty strength threw the creature into


    the air by five meters, causing it to howl and crash onto the ground, stirring up a wild gust of wind.


    Two mercenaries, eyes filled with greed, rushed over, hoping to take advantage of the situation, but


    were so startled by the sight that they gasped in shock.


    vin shook his hands and hoisted his satchel. "Problem?"


    The mercenaries turned on their heels. "Just passing by," they said, and swiftly departed.


    Not far off, a pair of Tempest Wolves locked their gaze on vin and lunged with menacing growls.


    vin charged at them, cutting them down with ease, and continued his relentless advance into the


    battlefield. Having secured the treasure, it was time to deal with other issues, such as... Trevas!


    "Stay sharp! Don''t let anyone close!"


    "I''m almost done, just a moment more."


    "Ha, that''s right, keep a tight watch everyone!"


    Trevas was hidden in a corner among the rocks, furiously chopping at a boulder with his axe. His


    face was flushed with excitement. The stone was tough, rooted deep in the earth, and covered with


    magical ores, one as big as a thumb—a Super magical ore for sure, which exined his


    uncontroble excitement.


    "Hurry, hurry, we must be quick!" Five Protégés stood guard around him, trembling with excitement.


    Magical ores, so many magical ores! They urged him on while keeping a tense watch over the


    chaotic scene of mercenaries and Magi-Monsters.


    As a pack of ferocious wolves leaped into an attack, the five Protégés fought fiercely, managing to


    repel them. Then, a pair of Azurewind Bulls approached, and they were promptly driven back.


    With a "crack," Trevas finally severed the boulder and unearthed it,ughing triumphantly as he


    lifted the stone high. "Ha, it''s mine!"


    "Let''s go. Let''s get out of here," the Protégés said, equally ecstatic at the sight of so many magical


    ores, enough for all to share.


    "Cover me," Trevas urged, wiping his mouth and preparing to make a break for it. But just then, a


    dark figure burst through the chaotic melee, flipping dramatically tond behind them. As the figure


    landed, it rose up with a sword crackling with energy, aiming straight for Trevas.


    The Protégés were shocked. Who was this person who had slipped past their defenses?


    "Scram!" Trevas, though stocky, dodged with surprising agility, narrowly avoiding the sword''s strike.


    But the dark figure pressed the attack relentlessly, his de weaving a dense web that forced


    Trevas to stumble back and fall. The stone embedded with magical ores flew from his grasp.


    The dark figure was vin. He intercepted the stone, spun around, and hurled it back into the fray.
