Bam!

Krusk's large body appeared inside the dungeon and almost squeezed everyone..

Luckily, the cavern is huge so they only need to move to the side for Krusk to give him some space.

"I can smell the tree.. There should be some fruits on it right now.. Let's hurry." Krusk immediately said as soon as he entered the dungeon.

This shocked Ayla and Turhan since this was the first time they heard Krusk speak.

'So you can actually speak human language.. Why are so silent until now?' Ayla thought as she confirmed that the dragon didn't even open its mouth to speak.

It was quite mysterious but she decided not to ask this for now..

Anyway, aside from Vincent, the rest were also curious about the tree he mentioned that could bear fruit. After all, the young mythical beasts seem to be very excited after smelling it so it must be some sort of treasure and they would like to see it as well.

"Let's see it then.. However, the path leading to the tree is narrow. You have to open up a bigger path." Vincent reminded.

"It's fine.. As long as there's a river leading to the tree, I think I can use it. I haven't tried it yet but my instinct is telling me that I can do it."

"Ohhh.. A racial trait? I guess you're a River Dragon for a reason.. Alright then, let's head in." Vincent said as he led the ground deep inside the dungeon.

As expected, there were Cryptid Crawlers and Golems that had piled up in some areas because the adventurers stopped hunting them. They had to clean the area for some time so they can move with ease..

This is not a big deal for this group of Magicians. Just Vincent's Flying Swords alone would be enough to clear the dungeon mobs..

Faviona also has a skill that allows her to attract all types of creatures in a certain area. It was quite easy and none of them even bothered to collect materials from these creatures.

All the things they left behind were only Uncommon Rank materials and the only valuable item would probably be the Crawlers' cores but they were crushed by Vincent's swords.

"I didn't even have a chance to use my skill.." Professor Turhan commented as he looked at the pile of carcasses.

"It would be great if you can help me bury these creatures.." Vincent said after noticing that the smell of blood in the cavern has gotten thicker.

Unlike the golem that would return to earth after being destroyed, the Crawlers would probably rot here.. Vincent wasn't exactly sure so he thought of just burning or burying them completely.

"I'll take care of it then.." Turhan said as he clapped his hands..

The gloves in his hands triggered an Item Skill and created a huge fireball.. It then flew slowly to the pile of carcasses and burned them into ashes..

What made Vincent curious about this is that he couldn't feel any heat from the fire that Turhan just created.

As a matter of fact, it even feels cold!

"What kind of Mana Art was that?" Vincent asked as he looked at Turhan's gloves.

"It's just an Item Skill, Vincent. It only burns my target so no one will get harmed unknowingly.."historical

"That sounds incredible.. A Mana Art that can distinguish your enemy, huh.." Vincent muttered in admiration.

After confirming that everything has been settled in this area, they decided to follow Krusk's path. The young mythical beast had already gone ahead and he is probably the reason why they encountered so many creatures as well.

The creatures they just killed were most likely escaping from Krusk in a hurry..

Several minutes passed and they finally saw the Tree of Faith which was glowing brighter from what he recalls.

There were more branches and the glowing leaves were lusher..

"Eh? Where's the Mythical Beast?" Dianne asked curiously. Although she was also interested in the Tree, she was also looking forward to Krusk's transformation..

There are several Tier 5 Mana Arts that use Transformation Techniques and she's actually learning a Tier 4 Mana Art that would lead her to a Tier 5 Transformation after mastering it.

She believes that if she saw this Mythical Beast transform, she can gain some inspiration and perhaps hasten her mastery over her Tier 4 Mana Art.

"Hmm.. Did he transform already?" Vincent muttered as he looked at the branches of the tree..

Sshh.. Sshh... Sshh..

Soon, they saw the glowing leaves move as they realized something hiding in the branches of the Tree..

"I did it! Haha! I just need to eat the fruit!"

A young 'lizardman' suddenly appeared in their view and exclaimed with delight.

It was Krusk who had just completed his transformation..

"That's incredible.. However, do you have to eat that fruit again in case you need to transform again?"

"No! Look!"

Krusk answered as he went down the tree and went to the open space. After doing this, he immediately transformed into his Beast Form.

Thud!

His majestic dragon form with blue scales and fierce yellow eyes has returned. The dignified aura and the unique beastly atmosphere around him had also become stronger.

Everyone was speechless seeing this since they realized that something had changed in him.

After a few seconds, Krusk transformed back to his Human Form with a bit of exhaustion seen on his face.

"I just forgot the sensation of Transformation so I wasn't able to do it before.. Now that I recall it, I can do it so easily just by spending some of my stamina.." He added.

Vincent was happy for Krusk since this issue was resolved quite easily.

Faviona and Dianne, who were also interested in the Transformation technique of the Mythical Beast, were even more delighted as they somehow gained insight during his Transformation.

"Wait there.. I'll take a few more fruits so you can taste them..." Krusk said which obviously excited everyone here.

They didn't expect that they would have this kind of benefit at all.

"Wait.. It might be dangerous for human consumption.." Vincent said since it was quite obvious that a Dragon's metabolism isn't the same as a human's.

"Don't worry about it.. You won't die.. If you're really curious, have her eat one first.. This female monster is quite special so even if there is a problem she won't die easily.. She'll let you know that it's also safe." Krusk suddenly said as he handed over a piece of fruit to Ayla..

After hearing Krusk's words, Vincent and the others were confused while Ayla had an ashen face.
