Chapter 151: Becoming the public enemy of Serenity Town Part 3

As the Molten Lizard slowly approaches, at the same time Natas started slowly moving to a corner where he would be able to hide the Storage Ring.

Whoosh!

A loud sound of the Molten Lizard breathing could be heard as its nose moved closer to where Natas was hiding. Evidently, it could sense that the Molten Magma Core is nearby.

Before it could use its nose to smell the exact location of the Storage Ring once again, Natas made a run for it.

The moment Natas started running, the Molten Lizard immediately saw the floating Storage Ring where it senses the Molten Magma Core inside.

"Quickly!" Kayn exclaimed from the entrance of the tunnel.

Natas soon reached the tunnel.

Kayn and Natas didn't waste any time as they run through the tunnel, intending to get out of this place and meet up with the others as soon as possible.

Although the tunnel was small, it was big enough for the Molten Lizard to still fit in with its huge body. It made sure to follow closely after them so that it won't lose the Molten Magma Core.

"Drop some of your unused Storage Rings," Natas suggested.

"Alright!" Kayn immediately understood Natas' plan.

By throwing unused Storage Rings, it would distract the Molten Lizard as it would think that they've ditched the Molten Magma Core in order to survive, thus increasing their distance from it and buying some time.

Kayn dropped the first Storage Ring with the intent of testing the water. He is fully aware now that the Molten Lizard is able to tell which Storage Ring has the Molten Magma Core, so he doesn't want to risk losing Storage Rings for nothing.

Clang!

The Storage Ring dropped to the ground.

Seeing it, the Molten Lizard immediately came to a halt.

"As expected," Natas smiled.

A Monster will always be a Monster.

It means their intelligence level will never be high, especially in the case of the Molten Lizard. Of course, there are always going to be exceptions, but luckily it's not in their case right now.

"Let's continue with this so that we'll be able to increase our distance,"

"Okay," Kayn nodded his head.historical

After a few seconds, the Molten Lizard realized that he was fooled once again. It started running once again to chase after Kayn.

Once again, Kayn dropped another Storage Ring on the ground. Just like what they expected, the Molten Lizard fell for it. As a result, they were able to increase their distance.

"Perhaps we would be able to escape," Natas expressed his hope.

"You know that it is going to be impossible to escape from it, right?" Kayn isn't foolish enough to truly believe that the Molten Lizard would continue to fall for their trick.

Although its intelligence level is not high, it is still capable of thinking on its own. Meaning, it would eventually learn to realize that the Storage Ring he is dropping doesn't contain the Molten Magma Core inside and it's nothing but a trick to delay it and possibly escape.

"I was only hoping," Natas rolled his eyes.

"Nevertheless, we can make use of this distance to our advantage," Needless to say, he isn't planning to use it so that they'll be able to escape from the Molten Lizard, because regardless of what they do, it is going to be impossible.

"What's your plan?" Natas became curious.

"You'll see," Kayn was confident this time that his plan is going to work.

Time continues to pass, and after four more times tricking the Molten Lizard with the unused Storage Rings, it finally learned to never fall for it ever again.

Unbeknownst to the Molten Lizard, that was exactly what Kayn intended on achieving.

"You still have the Storage Ring with you, right?" Kayn glimpses at Natas.

"Until we are safe, I won't give this to you," Natas replied.

"Rest assured, I won't be asking for it yet," Kayn smiled. "Once I give you the signal, I want you to stop running,"

"Why?"

"Just believe me,"

"Okay.." Natas choose to believe and trust Kayn's plan. The latter is someone who has a lot of experience, so whatever he is planning, there's a very high chance that it will be successful.

After some time, the magma waterfall that blocked the entrance to the tunnel was finally in sight.

Seeing it, Kayn pushed his feet even harder so that he can run even faster and increase the distance even farther.

Natas also did the same in order to keep up with Kayn.

Just when Kayn was nearing the magma waterfall, he suddenly stopped.

"Why are you stopping?" Natas also stopped.

"Just wait!" Kayn didn't bother to talk much as he started equipping himself with fire-resistance armor from his Storage Ring. He only took out those that he can wear easily like a pair of boots and gloves, and lastly a helmet.

"I am done," After saying that, Kayn started running once again.

All of a sudden.

<<Hot and Cold>>

He uses one of the Active Skills of the Molten Ice Sword which gives him 50% resistance to both fire and element attack.

"Go to the corner and stop running," Kayn blurted out as he leaped forward.

Whilst in mid-air, Kayn maneuver both his arms and legs and also moved his head downward in order to get them closer to his chest seemingly turning into a ball so that all of his fire-resistant armor would be able to cover a wider range around his body. In this way, he would be able to minimize the magma from getting through to his body upon impact with the magma waterfall.

"You're insane!" Natas can't help muttering as he watches Kayn make a cannonball leap straight toward the burning and hot magma waterfall blocking their way in front.

Boom!

A loud sound of an explosion sounded as Kayn's body made contact with the magma waterfall. Because of how much strength he put on his feet to execute the leap, he was successfully and easily able to get through the magma waterfall.

Natas could see from the other side of the magma water that even right after landing on the ground, Kayn actually didn't stop and made another crazy decision of jumping right into another magma waterfall.

"Wait!"

It was at this moment that Natas finally realized what Kayn was planning on doing. If he remembers correctly, that path leads exactly to where Friedrich and Chastine are.

"Fair enough," Killing the Molten Lizard would no doubt bring a lot of profit to their party, that's why it is better to kill it rather than escape from it.
