Gazing at the huge scorpion, Alvin didn't dare to move for a moment. Sweat was dripping down from his head.
Yet, he didn't want to give up. After all, it was his precious life. He quickly glanced around to see if there was anything he could use. Around him was the ice wall, on top of him was a row of icicles hanging on the ceiling and on his right side was some rock.
He darted to a rock, hiding behind the rock, hoping that the scorpion didn't see him.
Normally, the larger the size of the cloud monster, the slower its movement speed. However, that was not the case for this scorpion.
Peeking from behind the rock, Alvin saw the huge scorpion rushed for 100 meters in just two seconds. Now, it was just 50 meters away from Alvin.
The scorpion was sniffing around as if looking for the cloud items.
Alvin remained motionless, not even dare to breath. Moving his eyeball, he looked at an Icicle on the ceiling and mumbled to himself. "Object manipulation" He cast his object manipulation skill to control the icicle. This was his best choice, considering his wind blade would expose himself.
Of course, Alvin knew that an Icicle won't cause any damage to the scorpion. He was hoping that it could distract the scorpion and give himself a chance to escape.
*blingggg
The Icicle fell on the ground, breaking into small ice, creating a sound in the cave.
Hearing that, the scorpion turned its head to the icicle, but the scorpion didn't go to the icicle. It continued looking around in the cave.
The next second, Alvin saw that the Scorpion looked in his direction. Then, its sharp tail was waving to the rock in front of Alvin.
Instantly, Alvin knew that the Scorpion could locate where the cloud item was. It was looking for the cloud item.
"Body strengthening, leg" Alvin wanted to run away. He used his magic skill to improve his speed.
Just as the tails almost hit Alvin, he darted away and ran deep into the cave.
*booommm
The rock was broken into powder. The powder turned black, corroded by the poison on the Scorpion's tail.
"First cloud spell, wind blade" While running, Alvin shot the wind blade on the ceiling, causing all the icicles to fall one by one, creating obstacles for the scorpion.
Alvin ran at his highest speed. He wanted to escape from the back side of the cave.
On the way to the back side of the cave, Alvin passed by the three members of the Infernal Order. Alvin saw that they were studying the coin, the one that Alvin put into the treasure box.
Of course, Alvin didn't stop at all. He continued to run to the back side of the cave.
The three members of Infernal Order felt someone passed by. Turning their heads, they saw Alvin running away with high speed.
"Is the kid."
Then, they saw the huge scorpion running towards them, roaring.
"oh my god"
"Run"
Inside the cave, Alvin was running, followed by the three members of Infernal Order, then the monster king, Scorpion.
Previously, Alvin had taken around 15 minutes to reach the front of the cave. After exploring the cave, Alvin only took 8 minutes to reach the back side of the cave.
After exiting the cave, Alvin didn't stop at all. He continued to run while looking backward.
He saw that the three members of Infernal Order also exited from the cave. One of them took out a fireworks and shot it into the sky.
*phewwwww boommm
A huge firework exploded in the air, creating a loud sound.
At the front side of the cave, Matthew grinned as he raised his head and saw the fireworks.
"Hahahaha. We won, my man got the cloud items." Matthew sneered.
Ms Grace frowned and stared at Matthew with a solemn face.
"Bye bye. Fifth cloud spell, Frost Warden's Barrage. " Matthew exclaimed as he cast a spell.
Instantly, hundreds of ice spears were formed in the air, rotating. Then, as Matthew waved his hand, the hundreds of ice spears shot toward the members of Daylight Order.
Matthew grinned before running towards the backside of the cave.
"Fifth cloud spell, Inferno Tempest." Ms Grace squinted her eyes and exclaimed. A vortex of flame and heat formed on top of the members of Daylight Order.
The ice and the fire hit each other in the air, cancelling each other and leaving a mist made of water vapour.
...
In the forest not too far away from the cave, Matthew found his members.
"You guys get the cloud items?"
"Yes, Infernal Lord. Here it is."
Matthew grinned as he took the treasure box that was shining in white light. It was rare to have cloud items. Cloud items wasn't something that man made. It came together with the spire. Every spire would produce one cloud item.
As of now, in total, there were 145 cloud items in the world, considering there were only 145 spires found by man. Some of the cloud items were owned by people, some were lost in unknown places.
Even as a big organisation, Infernal Order only had around 20 pieces of cloud items. Some big organisations only had less than 10 pieces.
Matthew opened the treasure box and saw the coin inside. He gazed at the coin and frowned. As someone who owned a cloud item, he knew that cloud items shouldn't be so ordinary.
Usually cloud items would possess the cloud energy. However, there was no cloud energy on the coin.
"This...is not a cloud item" Matthew glared at three of them, summoned his cloud, ready to cast a spell.
"Infernal Lord, this is really the cloud item, we got it from the cave."
"Or... the kid took the cloud items?" another member said with a sense of hesitation.
"Kid?" Matthew frowned and asked.
"A kid entered the cave before us. We... we suspect that he stole our cloud item." the member swallowed and lowered his head.
"Then, what are you waiting for? Go get him" Matthew said with a dangerous gleam in his eyes.
