The sound of Ren opening the coffin reverberated in the entire area.
'Hmm?'
He saw a skeleton inside the coffin.
The skeleton was holding a spell book in his chest and wearing luxurious robes as if the skeleton was from a royal family.
'Spell book?'
Ren stopped what he was doing when his right hand was close to the spell book.
'Wait. There is no trap in this coffin, right?'
He was previously attacked by many puppets, so he did not take the spell book immediately.
'System, check if there is a trap in this coffin or not.'
He told his system to check the coffin and spell book.
[Host, there is no trap in this coffin.]
His system then told him about the spell book.
The name of the spell book was Lightning Dragon spell book.
Lightning Dragon magic was Tier 6 magic.
It was a powerful attack magic.
If awakeners were hit by the Lightning Dragon magic, the possibility of them dying was very high.
Even if they did not die instantly, they would be heavily injured, allowing him to kill them easily.
However, this magic consumed a lot of mana.
With the amount of his current mana, he could only use it twice before his mana was completely depleted, so his system suggested he only use the Lightning Dragon magic once a day before he broke through to the Grandmaster rank.
Even though he could use spiritual energy when his mana was depleted, his system still suggested he only use it once per day because his body would turn frail and he would feel dizzy if his mana or spiritual energy were completely depleted.
"I got it," Ren responded instantly.
'My efforts in exploring this place were not in vain.'
Not only could he test the limit of his new body using his secret technique, but he also got powerful magic.
This was the reason why his face broke into a smile because it was like killing two birds with one stone.
"You are already dead, so I will take your spell book." Right after his right hand came in contact with the spell book, a notification popped up.
[Ding! Host has discovered the Lightning Dragon spell book. Do you want to learn it?]
'Yes.'
He said in his head.
Memories related to the Lightning Dragon magic suddenly appeared in his mind, and he felt as if he had mastered the Lightning Dragon magic for a long time.
'What an amazing magic!'
He stored the spell book in his space ring before finally looking at the skeleton again.
'There is no name or note in this coffin. Just who is this skeleton?'
After checking the skeleton for several seconds, he returned to the cave.
----
The following morning, Ren looked for the White Tiger after breakfast. He was in the territory of the White Tiger, so he decided to look for him first.
'White Tiger, I'm coming.'
He walked out of the cave to find the White Tiger.
At the same time, Evelyn was flying in the sky.
Like yesterday, she was still looking for Ren and the Winged Lion.
She refused to return to her organization before knowing Ren's condition because she could still alive thanks to him.
'Ren…'
Evelyn stopped flying and looked at the lake where she was with him two days ago.
At the same time, one of her clones approached her and said she found out the whereabouts of the Winged Lion.
Without waiting for another second, Evelyn rushed to where the Winged Lion was.
*Yawn…
The Winged Lion yawned after eating its prey.
He had fully recovered because he consumed some healing magical herbs after returning to his territory.
"I'm sleepy." He approached a big tree before finally lying down under it.
Right after he closed his eyes, three icicles flew at him; one toward his head while the rest toward his body.
Even though the speed of the icicles was fast, it failed to kill the Winged Lion.
The Winged Lion had a good reaction, so he opened his eyes and jumped to the left before the icicles hit his body.
'Who dared to attack me in my territory?'
The Winged Lion raised its head to look in the direction where the three icicles came from.
'A female human?'
He saw Evelyn floating in the sky several meters from him.
"Human, how dare you attack me in my nap time!" the Winged Lion did not attack her immediately and only yelled at her, trying to scare her.
"Winged Lion, where is the young man you chased two days ago?" Evelyn's eyes were gleamed with terrifying sharpness, and every single one of her words was filled with coldness.
"Young man? Do you mean a human with black hair and dark grey eyes?" the Winged Lion suddenly remembered Ren.
"Where is he now?" Evelyn repeated her question and her cold voice reverberated in the entire area.
The Winged Lion smirked. "I killed him."
He was annoyed by the fact that Ren managed to escape from him, so he lied to her.
No!
He lied to her because of two reasons.
First, he failed to kill Ren and lastly, it was because she attacked him when he was about to take a nap.
She had disturbed his time, so he decided to toy with her feelings.
Evelyn's eyes widened, and her body trembled.
She could not read his mind, so she thought the Winged Lion was not lying to her.
'He…killed him?'
Evelyn was furious and sad at the same time.
Even though she only knew Ren for six days, he had a special place in her heart, so she failed to control her emotions upon hearing the Winged Lion's words.
"You dare to kill him?!" her face turned angry, and killing intent emitted from her body.
"Your boyfriend tasted delicious, female human. Haha." the Winged Lion thought Ren was Evelyn's lover.
'She believes me immediately? What a fool!'
He added in his head.
"Then, go to the underworld and apologize to him." right after she lifted her right hand forward, a giant magic circle appeared, shooting countless ice icicles.
The Winged Lion jumped from one place to another, dodging her attacks.
The angrier she got, the happier he became.
He even smiled happily because he succeeded in toying with her feelings.
"Female human, because you love your lover so much, then I will send you to the underworld too. You can meet your boyfriend and lovey-dovey with him in the underworld later. Haha." The Winged Lion began to counterattack.
He threw countless fireballs toward Evelyn.
Even though the Winged Lion was a powerful magical beast, he did not have the upper hand in the fight because Evelyn was strong, too.
As Evelyn and the Winged Lion were fighting fiercely, Ren stood on top of a tree.
His black hair danced softly, and his clothes fluttered in the wind.
He could not find the White Tiger after looking for several minutes, so he decided to look for him from on high.
'It's hard to find him.'
As he was about to get down from the tree, Tiger's Roar resounded throughout the area.
'It's a tiger's roar.'
Ren rushed toward the source of the sound by jumping from one tree to another.
After several seconds, he finally found the White Tiger that bullied him two days ago.
'Found you, White Tiger.'
