Chapter 28 - 28

To enter the cave, people would choose to go in by the entrance of the cave. 

However, Alvin saw that the three members of the Infernal Order walked towards the back side of the cave. 

Alvin frowned, curious, because there was no entrance to go into the cave at the back side of the cave.

Alvin followed them to the back side of the cave, observing what they were up to.

"bro, your turn."

"Ok."

Alvin saw one of them summon his cloud. It was a cloud with 3 cloud spells, which means, this guy was around level 30 something.

Then, his rank 3 wind cloud spell shone in green. "Third cloud spell, rank 3 tempest fang. " A group of wind elements was concentrated on his hand, turning fast, forming a high speed spinning blade that was powerful.

Alvin recognised the spell. It was a spell that people could get from the cloud monster, Winhog, a wind element hedgehog.

Making a hole in the cave wall required huge cloud energy. Normally, only rank 5 spell could do it.

However, this Tempest Fang was sharp. Despite being a rank 3 cloud spell, it cut the wall of the cave easily. What was even better was it didn't make any sound when cutting the wall. 

Yet, not many attack mages want this cloud spell because it was difficult to control such a fast spinning blade at a distance. Usually, knight or swordman would use it because they had close distance fight.

"Hehe, look at this. my third cloud spell. This is the reason Matthew sent me here" 

Soon, a huge opening was formed in the cave. Three of the Infernal Members were going to enter the cave.

"Let's go."

Just before they wanted to enter the cave, Alvin threw the magic circle mat fall in front of them. Next second, Alvin landed in front of them. Alvin was quick, they didn't even have time to react.

Alvin put his hand on the magic circle mat and murmured. "Paralysis Sigil" 

A burst of purple colour energy was expanding out from the magic circle. When the cloud energy reached the three members of Infernal Order, they were paralysed, and stunned for a moment. 

Even though the magic circle couldn't stun them for a long time, it was long enough for Alvin to enter the Cave.

Alvin darted into the cave with the magic circle mat in his hand. Then, he turned around and exclaimed 

"First Cloud Spell, rank 1 Wind blade" Alvin cast a wind blade, aiming at the entrance.

*boommm

After a hit on the entrance, rock was broken into pieces, blocking the entrance. "This should buy me some time" Alvin grinned.

Without any hesitation, Alvin walked deep into the cave, glancing around. It was a huge and cold cave, on the ceiling, there were a lot of sharp Icicles.

"I got to be fast. I need to get the cloud item before any of them come in" Alvin mumbled to himself. Alvin started to run around in the cave.

Looking at the cave's size, normal people would need 20 minutes to explore the cave. 

However, thanks to all the running practise Alvin did, he would be able to explore the cave in under 12 minutes.

Soon, Alvin stood in front of a waterfall in the cave. The water of the waterfall had been frozen into ice. There was a white light shimmering inside the ice, bright and conspicuous.It was easy to find the waterfall, because of the white light.

"This must be the cloud items" Alvin gazed at the waterfall that was glowing with white light.

Alvin walked closer and pushed the ice, trying to break it. Surprisingly, he couldn't break the ice, the ice was harder than he expected. 

"Wind Blade" Alvin took a few steps back and cast 10 wind blades to break the ice.

10 whooseh filled his ears, followed by the collapsing sound of the ice, revealing the what was inside the ice.

In the middle of the ice, Alvin saw a treasure box that was as big as a ring box, with gold lines on it, shimmering in white light.

"This is" Alvin was stunned by the beautiful appearance of the treasure box. He extended his hand and grabbed the treasure box in his hand.

Alvin opened up the box. He saw a ring and a note inside the treasure box.

"A ring." He took out the ring and the long note. 

On the note, it said "Storage ring. Function : A space to store items. Requirement: Unlock the space with gems. Rank 1 gem ...."

Before he could finish the note, he heard the footsteps nearby. From the louder and louder footsteps, he could tell someone was walking to his current location, probably the member of Infernal Order.

Alvin quickly took out a coin from his pocket and put it into the treasure box. Then, he put the treasure box back on ice before running away with the ring and note. 

He couldn't bring the treasure box together because it was still shimmering with bright light that would expose his position.So, instead of bringing the box together with him, leaving the box there was a better choice.

Alvin glanced around and found the direction to the entrance of the cave where Ms Grace and Matthew were fighting. With a nod, he darted towards the entrance.

After running for 1 minute, Alvin almost reached the entrance. He was looking at the entrance from a distance. At the entrance, the sunlight shone into the cave, making the entrance bright and visible.

At first he thought that he could escape through the entrance easily. However, he saw the big scorpion at the entrance. What was even worse was instead of fighting outside the cave, the scorpion was moving into the cave 

Alvin swallowed and froze for a moment. He saw the scorpian monster king roaring, rushed into the cave as if it knew that someone took the cloud items.

This was his first time facing the monster king. Even though he had the magic circle with him, he knew that he won't be able to fight it, This scorpian was probably level 50 or 60. The Paralysis Sigil built with low rank gems won't be able to stun the scorpion.
