Walking inside the treasury Ethan saw a large altar at the center of it stands a large statue of a black Raven.
''This is the altar of the God of chaos'' Pyr said.
''Yeah, it is indeed the God of chaos'' Ethan moved his eyes away from the altar and saw a pile of highly class weapons.
''Now shall we start taking them up'' Pyr went to the pile of treasure seemingly looking for something.
''Should we take them I feel bad taking all the treasure here'' Ethan walks to the altar instead of the pile of treasure.
''You are his successor it's only natural for you to take the things he left for you''
''You think he left this for me''
Pyr poked his head from the mountain of treasure and said ''Will you be able to open the gate if he wasn't planning to give everything for you''
Ethan halted his steps and looked at Pyr indeed the moment he arrived here not a single trap trigger.
Hum
The flames on the altar suddenly lit up Ethan was surprised because the Raven statue moved as if it was alive.
Pyr turns into an inferno dragon ready to fight if the Raven statue tries to do anything to harm Ethan.
''Pyr calm down I don't think Chaos would do anything to harm me like what you said I'm his successor'' Ethan moved to his fighting stance ready to engage in combat.
The black Raven turns into a man but his face is too blurred to be recognized. The statue summon a black flame in his palm Ethan became even more vigilant seeing he summon a black flame.
The black flame turns into a sword and slashes towards Ethan.
Ethan also summoned his black flame and fought with the statue.
Fist vs sword
Ethan's flaming fist collides with the black flame sword of the statue.
''The heat on the sword is more concentrated than Ethan's flame fist'' Pyr observed the fight he could see that Ethan kept getting burns.
''This doesn't look good I'm going to lose if this continue''Ethan receives another burning blow although he was able to dodge the attack the heat on the blade keeps burning him.
''The heat on the blade is much more concentrated than mine'' Ethan looked at the flame sword and thought ''I should be able to do that right?''
Ethan jumps backwards to create some distance between them.
''Just concentrate and try to condense the same heat intensity as him... concentrate and focus your flame in one point''
---------------------------------------------
''Concentrate and control your flames Ethan do you hear me!''Chen Xiang uses a wooden stick to hit Ethan's butt while he continues to drink tea.
After the incident happened Ethan received intensive training under his grandfather.
''You must control the intensity of your flame so the bread inside the oven won't get burned''
''Yes, Gramps I will'' enduring his grandfather's whip Ethan keeps firing the oven.
''Control....control just control it damnit!'' Ethan's mind keeps screaming those words.
---------------------------------------------
''Concentrate and control!.... concentrate and control!''
Hua..
Black flame daggers condense into Ethan's hands.
''Now it's my turn to attack'' Ethan became a shadow and disappeared in a flash the statue also turned into a shadow chasing after Ethan.
''Got you!'' Ethan's black daggers slash towards the shadow statue and they keep clashing inside the darkness.
The shadow statue turns back into a man and now losing one of his arms standing up cracks seep from his body.
Ethan appears right behind him driving his dagger in his back.
Crack!
The statue crumbled to pieces and the flames on the altar all went to Ethan's flame dagger increasing its strength.
''Congratulations for advancing to two-star Human level''Pyr bows down and turns into a salamander again.
''Thanks now shall we see how many treasures can we take in this treasury'' Ethan took out a bottle of elixir pills to recover his lost strength.
''Heh...all the items here are valuable so we can take them all hahaha'' Pyr looks energetic and seems to be searching for something.
''It seems he is more excited than me'' Ethan thought.
Looking around Ethan found a mountain of books feeling interested in them he went to look over.
''Those are ancient blacksmithing books'' Pyr appeared out of nowhere and said.
''Oh so these books are for blacksmith'' Ethan picked one book and started to read them.
''Well these books are from the Incipient era since the language here is from the oldest one''
Thud!
Ethan accidentally dropped the book on the ground he realized that he couldn't understand the language on the book to think that it was actually from the Incipient era.
''If you want to study them I can teach you some old language and history back at Incipient era''
Hearing his suggestion Ethan felt delighted he quickly picked the book up and began to dust it.
''Well since you are going to teach me might as well take all of them right'' Ethan excitedly put the books inside his storage ring.
''To think he has this side'' Pyr thought to himself while looking at the energetic Ethan.
Packing the books Ethan looked around and saw many kinds of weapons. There are spears, swords, daggers, crossbows and many more.
''Which one of these weapons are you most proficient with'' Pyr look at those weapons surveying the strongest.
''I think I'll go with this weapon'' Ethan picked a wooden staff instead of the weapons beside it.
''Why choose that there many weapons here that are more to your fighting style'' Pyr said as he shoved a pile of weapons to Ethan.
Moving the weapons away Ethan picked up the wooden staff again which he accidentally dropped when Pyr shoved so many weapons at him.
''I'll use this since this is the weapon I'm least good at''
Ever since the death of his father, his training even became harder he could only sleep at least three hours a day. He would train physically in the day and train his proficiency with weapons at noon finally during night his grandfather would come to train him with his flame control.
''If you want to stick to that weapon let me give you a technique suitable for that'' Pyr moved his tail and light shot from it moving towards Ethan.
Whoosh!
Feeling the sudden information Ethan checks the technique.
Wind slaying technique
''Thanks, Pyr''Ethan give Pyr a big thumbs up
Pyr only smile and nods his head.
''Let's check some gears and armor for you'' Pyr suggested and went to drag another mountain of armor.
Ethan only shook his head and went to store some high-class weapons and armor which Pyr piled beside him.
''Master some weapons could be used to make another weapon just like some herbs use to make another herb'' Pyr said as he threw another armor to Ethan.
''I did hear about that from Master''
''I'll tell you more of this later just keep storing the items I'm throwing okay''
Ethan only nods his head while he keeps storing the items that Pyr keep throwing.
Hua
While the two keep their focus on the weapons something suddenly caught their attention.
A glowing iron scale made it the center of their attention.
''What's this?'' he asks Pyr who also staring at the scale.
''It's a dragon scale'' Pyr told him while trying to poke it with his tail.
Ethan extended his hand to pick the scale and he noticed an inscription on it so he tried to read but sadly he couldn't understand anything from it.
''This is a language back at incipient era, you won't be able to understand it''
Ethan looks quite disappointed since he hasn't learned this language before he needs Pyr to translate it.
''What's the meaning of it then?''
''It's a technique called Thunder demon seal''
Hearing what Pyr said Ethan became interested in it since lightning is one of the strongest elements.
''So I can learn it?'' he said excitedly this kind of technique is one of a kind after all.
''No you can't'' Pyr's answer made him lose his previous excitement.
''Why?''
''Because it's a technique only for dragons''
Ethan almost wants to burn the scale but refrains from doing it. The scale seems to want to attract Pyr's attention so it glows even more.
''I want to break this thing'' Ethan said while activating his flames.
''Master I think it's best to store it after all finding a dragon scale is not easy''
Thinking about the quality of the scale Ethan became happy again so he tried to store it in his storage ring.
''What the!'' to his surprise the scale while so heavy he couldn't even lift it.
''Master do you need my assistance'' Pyr offered seeing him struggling.
''No....I can... do this'' mustering his strength Ethan gave all of his might to lift it and store it in his ring.
''This won't do should I help him or not'' looking at the struggling Ethan Pyr thought to himself.
Pyr was about to help when he saw him lifting the scale bit by bit.
''Master!?'' quite surprised that a Human level can lift a dragon scale he dismisses his idea of helping instead of observing how long Ethan can endure the weight of it.
''Ugh!'' Ethan didn't dare to let go of the scale instead he slowly lifted it while he slowly activated his storage ring.
Hum
The ring soon opens like a vacuum and sucks the scale vanishing from his hand.
''Ha..ha...ha!'' Ethan fell on his knees feeling that strength already left him.
''Nicely done master now let's move on there are still many of them'' Pyr pointed using his tail at a mountain of scales from different beasts all having the same weight as the one he lifted before.
''What the heck'' Ethan felt his energy drained again he started thinking about whether to ask for help or not.
