*Bam!*

A wolf stomped the ground with its paw, creating a small crater on the ground. This purple-colored wolf showed such anger and directed it to the person that just dodged his attack.

The person who just dodged it was none other than Albert.

"Shella."

The moment he shouted her name, Shella appeared on top of the wolf and struck its head with both Bonk Bats.

Bonk.

The wolf's head was knocked down to the ground. It was clear that Shella only needed one more hit to kill the wolf. However, she actually leaped away, allowing Albert to close in.

The latter struck the wolf's head with everything he got.

Bonk Crusher.

The Bonk Crusher cracked the skull open and ultimately killed the wolf. After a long thought, Albert told Shella regarding the EXP.

But instead of saying it literally, he used Pure Energy as an example. He just told Shella that he could absorb the remaining Pure Energy left behind from the deaths, and it wouldn't harm the corpse.

That information made Shella agree with letting him deliver the killing blow. It would greatly improve Albert's leveling speed. Of course, he told Shella to keep it a secret from others for the time being.

"Good work, Shella."

"Thank you, Master. Are we truly going to leave the corpse here? Shouldn't we get some proof and exchange some parts for money?" Shella asked while tilting her head in confusion.

"That's what I'd like to do as well. But we don't have any carts or anything to carry them. And do you think you can cut them?"

"Now that you say it… We can't really use any sharp objects." Shella nodded with a serious expression. "Though, we may be able to learn a few spells that can become a sharp object. Let me think of a way to do that later."

"Sure. I'll leave it to you." Albert didn't reject her suggestion. It would be beneficial if he could dismantle all these parts.

"By the way, Master. Can you truly use Space Element?"

"I believe I can. But the Magic Shop doesn't have any books about Space and Time. I don't have any way to learn them."

"That's certainly true because Space and Time Elements are very rare. If Master can actually learn them, it's going to be scary. Though, if you learn Space, you can have a Space Room where you can put your belongings. If you learn Time, you can increase your body's speed or decrease your enemy's speed."

"But where can I learn that?" Albert sighed.

"How about the royal family?"

"Lilith?"

"Yes. Since you have a close relationship, how about asking her?"

"I'll be owing her a big time if I ask her." Albert furrowed his eyebrows. "With such a rare book, I believe Lilith won't hold back in charging me."

"But her terms should be better than any other kingdoms."

"That's true." Albert thought for a moment and asked, "Which one is rarer, Space or Time?"

"If I need to answer that question, I guess it's Time Element."

"In that case, I'll try asking for Space Element first to test how much she's going to charge me." Albert nodded.

Since they had finished their discussion, Albert continued forward, fighting more monsters in the surrounding area.

While going around, they somehow stumbled upon a crack on the ground, leading deep inside underground.

"Master?" Shella frowned and looked at the crack that stretched two hundred feet wide and five hundred feet deep.

The gap itself was as big as their body, so if they carefully proceeded, they should be able to sneak inside and reach the bottom.

But no one knew about the place this crack led to.

"What should we do about this, Master?" Shella frowned. "Should I go down? Since I'm a wraith, I won't have any problem going up and down. If there's nothing on the bottom, we can continue."

"Can you see anything inside?"

"Not really. I can make some torch replacements or use my power."

"In that case…" Before he finished his words, numerous birds flew to the sky.

"Quak."

"Quark."

"Quak."

The birds were staying in the sky as though they were afraid of something.

"What's going on?" Albert frowned and looked upward, wondering if the birds were attracted to something or not.

His answer soon came in the form of shaking ground.

*Rumble!*

*Rumble!*

They heard rumbling sounds followed by explosion noises from the volcano's direction.

"Shella!" Albert shouted as soon as he heard it, but he ended up dropping to his knees due to the shaking ground. "What is this?"

Shella hurriedly flew into the air and passed all the trees, trying to see what was going on. When she took a peek above all the trees, she saw the volcano releasing a huge amount of cloud into the sky. At the same time, there was a small side releasing a red glowing substance.

After observing it for a minute, she descended to the ground and informed Albert about her finding.

"Seriously?" Albert widened his eyes in surprise. "Is the volcano going to erupt?"

"Are you serious, Master?"

"Yes. The seismic activity also provides some indications. When that volcano erupts, I'm afraid it will engulf everything in this area." He sighed.

"I am not an expert in this area. Can Master give me a bit more explanation? What will happen if the volcano erupts?"

"The thick ash cloud will go up to the sky as the volcano spews many materials from its belly, including magma. Depending on the blast scale, the lava will flow and melt everything on its way. The ashes will soon fall down and cover the forest with thick gray ashes. In the worst case, there will be acid rain that can destroy your skin and affect your health. Well, I'm not an expert at this as well. This is the limit of my knowledge."

Albert only gave her the general knowledge he had about a volcanic eruption.

"I see. In that case, should we inform the elf settlement? They won't be able to survive in this case?"

"Hmm…" Albert hesitated for a moment and scratched the back of his head. "Well, we should prioritize lives. If they decide to attack us, it's better for us to leave or even escape from here."

"Understood."

"Let's go then."
