The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 150: Becoming the public enemy of Serenity Village Part 2

"Why did you run though?" Kayn can't help himself from asking. As far as he knows, it is practically impossible to see Natas unless the latter intends to show himself, even the 'Tower' isn't excepted from this, so how could a Monster see him?

"The Monster didn't spot me, but I can't afford to compromise the Storage Ring,"

That's right! Although Natas couldn't be seen, the Storage Ring can.

If Natas was holding the Storage Ring, people would only be able to see the ring moving and levitating around, making it appear as though it is floating on its own. This is why if the Monster were to spot the Storage Ring, it would likely pursue it because it would assume the Molten Magma Core is contained within. However, the monster would be unable to see Natas himself.

"I already got the Molten Magma Core. But unfortunately, as soon as I store it inside the Storage Ring, the Monster suddenly appeared. So, I had no other choice but to run and secure the Storage Ring along the way,"

"Where is the Storage Ring right now?"

Natas pointed at a rock around fifty meters away from their location. "Under that huge rock,"

Looking closely, Kayn soon spotted a shining object.

It was the Storage Ring!

"I could only go that far without the risk of the Monster spotting the Storage Ring," Natas pointed at an approaching figure.

Following the direction where Natas was pointing, Kayn immediately saw a huge lizard that was covered in molten magma rocks. Occasionally, magma would spew out in between a crack on its skin, and slowly flow down to the magma river down below.

It was a Molten Lizard!

A Molten Lizard is a lizard that had undergone a mutation after being exposed to extreme temperatures for a very long time and surviving in such an environment which allowed it to develop natural fire resistance and received a Gift related to the fire element.

Most likely, it was once a mere lizard that has turned into a Molten Lizard over time, and because it has no natural predator in Peaceful Volcano due to the place almost having no monsters around, it provided a perfect habitat for it to grow and develop to become what it is today.

Kayn is fully aware that in this kind of situation, he should ask Friedrich and the others for assistance in dealing with the Molten Lizard. It would be a piece of cake for them to handle a mere Molten Lizard.

However, there is not enough time to go find them and return back here again since the Molten Lizard is very close to the Storage Ring. Not to mention, the Storage Ring is also not properly hidden by Natas as well.

He has to think of another solution quickly. Otherwise, things would become a lot harder for him once the Molten Lizard finds the Storage Ring.

Natas reminded. "We can't allow the Molten Lizard to find the Storage Ring. Because once it does, it would now be able to dive deep into the magma along with it and there would be next to no chances to get the Molten Magma Core back again,"

Even though it is a Monster, they are not ignorant of the function of the common items used by Humans, which includes the Storage Ring.

"I know," Kayn fully understood.

If back then when Natas has yet to store the Molten Magma Core inside the Storage Ring, the Molten Lizard could only helplessly stare at it and be its guard. But once it is inside the Storage Ring, it could now carry it along wherever it wants to go.

As long as that happens, there's indeed going to be a good chance that the Molten Lizard would leave the Peaceful Volcano and go somewhere else where it could grow even more powerful until such time comes when it could finally use the power of the Molten Magma Core for itself.

"I'll try," Kayn finally thought of a plan. Though he wasn't confident that it would really work, at the very least it is much better than having nothing.

Without wasting any time, Kayn jumped on top of the rock.

"Hey!" Kayn called out to the Molten Lizard. Waving his hand, he took out another Storage Ring. "Are you looking for this?"

The Molten Lizard immediately turned to look at Kayn the instant it heard his loud voice over the distance calling. Its attention rapidly turned to the Storage Ring the man was holding, thinking right away that the Molten Magma Core is inside.

"Do you want it?" Kayn smiled.

Seeing the smile on Kayn's face, the Molten Lizard instantly lose it as it charged straight. It didn't bother to consider whether the Storage Ring was really where the Molten Magma Core is or not as it felt insulted at Kayn's action.

Without wasting any time, Kayn made a run back to the tunnel he came through.

Before leaving, he quickly instructed Natas, "Get the Storage Ring,"

"Okay!" Natas nodded his head as he went forward to fetch the Storage Ring.

Natas passed by the Molten Lizard, and as he looked back, he saw it chasing Kayn at its top speed while the latter continues to raise the Storage Ring while swiftly running away.

It was quite an amusing scene to look at. But he knows that he can't continue watching for long as he has no time to waste because as soon as the Molten Lizard gets close enough, it would instantly realize the Storage Ring in Kayn's hand doesn't contain the Molten Magma Core.

Since the distance was close, Natas got the Storage Ring once again. He quickly turned around, but to his surprise, it was also the exact moment the Molten Lizard slowly turns its head around, evidently realizing that it has been fooled by Kayn.

Before the Molten Lizard could notice, Natas jumped to the side to hide behind the rock nearby.

"It would have caught me if I wasted a single second more," Natas started breathing profusely.

They're very lucky that the Molten Lizard won't be able to hear Natas' breathing. Otherwise, it would have long found out where he is hiding.

In the next second, Natas started hearing loud noises approaching his direction.
