LOOKING FOR THE BEAR'S TREASURE
The Snowe Bear was after all the King of this mountain. It would not leave until I was killed. That was the pride of this Beast king that we faced and my punishment for challenging the king in his lair.
"This is such a stubborn creature", Raven said to us referring to the Snowe Bear.
"Bang…bang…bang"
The Snowe Bear was about to break the windows of the shuttle cockpit and Ronnie was serious about it.
"You damn bear don't break my shuttle", Ronnie screamed as he opened the shuttle hatch to face the bear.
"No," I screamed at Ronnie who aimed his phasers on the Snowe Bear.
Suddenly the Snowe Bear appeared right before Ronnie to claw him but at the same time, Ronnie's phaser was released.
"Zzziiinnggg"
A laser from Ronnie's phaser hit the Snowe Bear around its wounded body that went deep into the creature.
"Arggghhh"
The Snowe Bear screamed as it dropped a few feet behind him. The hand phaser was insufficient to kill the Snowe Bear though, but the bear wasn't in the greatest shape either.
The bear lost so much blood that the snow filled ground turned into a red carpet. It was at this time the Snowe Bear rammed on our shuttle again despite its serious injury.
"Bang…bang"
"Is this damn bear crazy? He'll die himself just to kill us", Ronnie asked us and complained.
The Snowe Bear made a crack in the cockpit windshield before he fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Damn, this bloody bear dented my glass", Ronnie complained to us.
"Soul Crescent Blade"
I launched my soul weapon on the bear to repeatedly cut and pierce him while he was down until eventually, he was finished off by my soul blade.
"What blade is that of yours that can kill the Snowe Bear?" Raven asked me.
"I made it from the material in this shuttle", I told them.
"And how did you make the blade fly by itself", Minna asked me, but I tried to deflect the question when Ronnie did me a favor.
"It's my laser that killed the bear, not the blade", Ronnie told us in his strange, accented words but we knew what he meant.
Ronnie's hand phasers were equivalent to a Venus tiered magic, so he wasn't wrong to brag about his contributions in killing the Snowe Bear. He contributed much to killing the monstrous King of the Snow Mountain.
"You shouldn't have gone outside, the bear could have killed you", I told Ronnie who nodded in agreement.
Although Ronnie had the most advanced equipment, he wasn't an experienced fighter.
"If I didn't help, we will all be dead", he replied to me.
"Thanks anyway buddy", I replied to him.
------
As we alighted the shuttle Ronnie assessed the damage on his shuttle.
"This shuttle is wrecked, who is going to compensate me?", he asked me hoping that I would pay for his loss.
I would pay him back but where could I find another shuttle for him.
"I'll make it up to you some other way, it's not like you can fly the thing", I told Ronnie.
"You better pay me back for the damage to my shuttle", he said to me.
"Fine, when we return to Earth, I'll have it all fixed up as new", I replied to him before he gave me his middle finger.
After killing the Snowe Bear, I quickly brought out my Isolation Lamp which I won from the Young Mages Competition in Antenne town and burned its heart in the lamp.
The magic from a peak-leveled Venus creature was extremely rich and much magic was absorbed by us. The Isolation Lamp also doubled the effects of using a Heart Lamp.
The result was almost instantaneous as we achieved a breakthrough again and leveled up almost immediately.
"Bommurs Awakening Level 8" "Raven Awakening Level 8" "Minna Awakening Level 8" "Orion Awakening Level 5"
Even I managed to level up, finally.

"There is a lot of good stuff inside the Snowe Bear's camp, let's go and check", I invited my friends to explore the bear's cave.
There were many corpses of explorers or hunters who unfortunately ended their lives at the hand of the Snowe Bear, and we disgracefully looted their belongings.
"Hey what is this?" Minna asked us when she found a scroll map.
I looked at the map and it was some kind of treasure map, and the bear cave was the entrance into the treasure cave.
"Hey, we found the treasure map to a magic lair inside the same lair the map points to, hahaha", Bommurs said to us and laughed.
"These dead explorers came to look for something in this bear cave and was killed by the bear that was guarding the treasure", I told them.
"If the adventurers who came to look for a treasure were killed, it meant that the treasure could still be around here", Raven told us.
"Let's look for the treasure", Bommurs asked us.
Even Ronnie joined our treasure hunt as he brought out his 3D scanner that scanned the cave. Although the Snowe Bear wrecked his shuttle the equipment inside was untouched.
After some searching, Ronnie found something.
"It's here behind this wall", Ronnie told us pointing to a stone wall in the cave.
We looked around the wall for some keyholes or switches but there were none around the door.
"Zzziingggg"
Suddenly Ronnie shot the stone wall with his phaser that broke some stones but even his powerful laser couldn't breach the wall.
"Damn, it failed", Ronnie said to us as he quickly returned to his shuttle to recharge his phaser.
"Search the dead people, if they came all the way here, they might have keys of some sort", I asked my friends.
After searching all the corpses in the cave there weren't any keys around although there were many colorful crystals carried by them.
"Those are Magic Crystals that could activate magical devices", I told them.
"What crystals?" Bommurs asked me but I didn't attempt to explain to him.
