"Is my mother, father, and sister still alive?!" Giann asked while his eyes were filled with worries.
...
"They are. Do not worry your parents are far stronger than you think." The old woman's praised.
One of the burden that Giann held in his heart was immediately lifted as he gave a sigh of relief.
"Can you tell where are they located?" Giann asked while raising his hope.
...
"I'm sorry but that is beyond our capabilities." The old woman's voice said with a tone of helplessness.
"Oh." Giann spoke with a little bit of sadness since he knew that it wasn't going to be easy.
"Though it is beyond our capabilities, it is not entirely impossible." The old woman's voice continued as she remembered something.
"The reason you could hear our voices now is because somehow when you ate the "Dragon's Apple" the bloodline within your blood seemed to improve.
However, because you consumed a fruit that was meant for Tier 5 and Tier 6 monsters the tremendous energy within the fruit could have immediately blown you up to bits in a second but somehow you were able to hold the energy enough time for us to appear and seal the energy within you." The old woman's voice spoke.
"So our descendant, don't chew something that you can't handle. HAHA! I'm really amused that you just consumed that fruit without hesitation." The old man's voice laughed.
Giann smiled wryly as he scratched the back of his head.
"Seniors, what do you mean "it is not entirely impossible"? Giann asked.
"Just like I said we managed to seal the power of the fruit within your very core. We could only help you with our current powers within you because our powers is very limited by your bloodline. The fruit's energy within you will make your stronger overtime while you climb the higher levels. To put it simply, the stronger you get, the fruit's energy within you will improve your bloodline. If you reach Tier 3, we could use our powers to locate your family." The old woman's voice spoke.
...
"I see. Thank you seniors for explaining." Giann spoke with gratitude as he smiled.
"Though you're still very weak right now there is still hope." The old man's voice spoke.
Giann stood up and stretched his body as he went closer to the lake and washed his mouth. The foam that came out really stinks!
When Giann finished washing up, he turned to the forest behind him and entered it.
"Guide me, ancestors!" Giann said with excitement and confidence.
"Mmm." The old man's and old woman's voice agreed.
Somewhere on the dungeon grounds...
Bam!
Screech!
A huge dark red lizard, similiar to the two red lizards who were chasing Giann, released a blood curling screech making anyone weaker than the lizard turns them deaft temporarily.
Above its head were more terrifying words than the lizards Giann encountered earlier. If Giann was here, he would be probably running with his tail between his legs.
[Level 250]
Bam!
Another ogre was sent flying by its powerful tail.
"Distract it and cover its path of escape! My skill still needs 20 seconds to recharge!" Ragor shouted while holding his huge axe while mana around him was getting absorbed continuously into it.
"Old Man Grock! Use your restricting spell!" Ragor turned his head beside him and saw a robed Ogre who was continuously firing a bunch of spells towards the lizard.
Old Man Grock nodded as he hit his staff on the ground and chanted a foreign language then something began to shake in the ground while something began to move to the giant red lizard.
Then no more than 5 breaths, a red blood vines sprang from the ground and binded the lizard.
Seeing this the lizard immediately retaliated and began to move uncontrollably.
Old Man Grock began to have a pale expression and turned his head towards Ragor.
"Hurry up! I don't have much mana left! Once my mana hits zero, we're all doomed for nothing!" Old Man Grock shouted while his aura diminish in a fast rate.
"5 more seconds!" Ragor shouted in a panicked expression while the aura of his axe became stronger and stronger.
When the huge red lizard saw the power in the axe began to grow stronger its instincts told it that if it were to receive the axe head on it would die immediately.
The huge red lizard's aura suddenly became powerful reaching the peak of Tier 5. The red blood vines' binding ability became instantly useless against the huge red lizard.
"It burned its life essence! If you miss we're dead!" Old Man Grock shouted in fear while placing his hopes on the huge ogre who held a terrifying axe.
"Don't worry." Ragor grinned as he began to lift the axe.
"Omaewa mou Sheindeiru!" Ragor said as he slashed the axe towards the huge red lizard.
Without even giving a time to react, the huge red lizard only saw a powerful slash of destruction before it was cleanly slashed in half.
The power from the slash even created a small crater underneath the corpse of the lizard.
Ragor and Old Man Grock and even the other ogres was really relieved that the the huge red lizard died.
The aura of the remaining ogres began to grow until the late stages of Tier 4 while Old Man Grock and Ragor's aura surged and reached the peak of Tier 4.
That meant despite being on Tier 4, the ogres could kill one Tier above them.
The power that Ragor showed proved that the ogres really deserved to be the dominant race on Ogre King's Swamp.
Ragor approached the fading corpse of the huge red lizard and saw a shining thing.
Ragor who immediately saw this treasure, his breathing became faster. Fearing if someone would steal it from him, Ragor immediately took it and stored it in a ring.
That's right it was a spatial ring!
A ring that have a certain area of space within it. These not only reduced the burden of carrying heavy items it could even hide your strangeness or priceless treasures.
He then approached Old Man Grock sitting on a meditative posture.
"The prophecy is really real. I discovered one of the items that was included in the prophecy." Ragor whispered while saying it in a really really low voice to avoid greedy eyes gazing on them. Even though the people around him were his fellow kin or fellow species, you may never know if someone was spying.
"What?!" Old Man Grock shouted then covering his mouth immediately.
While the two was having a heated conversation, two flying lizardmen was flying above them.
"What a suprise! I must have that in my hands or I'm gonna die of greed." Qarak grinned as he licked his scaly mouth.
He then turned his head towards his ally.
"Loki! We're going to take that treasure no matter what it takes or the days spent on following them will be worthless." Qarak said in a excited tone while uncontrollable greed can be looked inside his eyes.
"Yes, leader." Loki nodded.
