Chapter 135 Getting The Inheritance (Part 8)

''Eh, duration is over,'' Raydon said.

Even though the Flame Burst skill duration had ended, they continued to advance without losing much speed because the rock they were standing on had sufficient momentum to carry them forward.

Raydon greedily eyed the experience points that followed them as they continuously descended from the sky and added new ones as he waited for the skill's cooldown to end.

''Flame Burst. ''

When the skill was available again, Raydon used it. His only thought at the moment was that he hoped this journey would be lengthy. This was the easiest experience point farming he had ever performed since coming to this world.

[Lv.1 Spirit Slave F-Rank) has been killed.]

[You gained 10 experiences.]

''How is your mana doing, by the way? ''After nearly an hour, Raydon finally asked Fehim, who was positioned behind him and holding up his shield.

In a somber tone, he said, "I don't have much left."

His shield had been active the entire time they had been moving forward in this manner, which had taken them almost an hour. And the floating rocks that occasionally obstructed their path rather than the spirit slaves striking the shield were the real issue. Fehim lost a great deal of mana each time they collided with another rock at their current speed.

''Can you see the other side? '' The news made Raydon's face gloomy. If Fehim's mana ran out and they collided with another rock at this speed, there would be nothing to stand on and nothing but a bottomless abyss awaiting them.

Furthermore, even if they could somehow jump onto another rock, they would be unable to move forward due to the countless spirit slaves who would constantly attack them, and they would fight until they were exhausted, only to be met with the bottomless abyss once more.

''No, all I see ahead is dense fog,'' Fehim said. His voice conveyed the gravity of the situation.

''Shit. We need to come up with another plan,'' Raydon said as he killed the spirit slaves piling up behind them by reactivating the Flame Burst skill, which had reached the end of its cooldown.

Raydon had previously believed that his body's high defense meant he didn't need a defensive-type skill, but now he realized how important it could be in a situation like this.

''We should probably just go around those rocks instead of trying to block them with your shield. '' Unwillingly, Raydon admitted.

They had no other means of maneuvering other than Raydon reorienting his Flame Burst skill. However, it meant that he could target fewer spirit slaves approaching from behind each time he aimed his skill in a different direction to alter the rock's direction.

'Damn, I'll have to slow down my farming progress. ' Raydon was having a depressed thought until Fehim's words finally convinced him to act.

"My mana will be completely spent if we hit another three… no two rocks."

''Shit. Fine. Just concentrate on the approaching spirit slaves, and I'll make sure to maneuver to avoid hitting any other floating rocks. '' With clenched teeth, Raydon said.

'My precious experience points. '

And in this manner, Raydon changed directions by adjusting the position of his skill each time a floating rock appeared in front of them, and he looked longingly at the spirit slaves who weren't on the path of Flame Burst skill and were left behind due to their lack of speed.

''I can see the opposite end of the abyss.''

Following a four-hour journey through this chasm, Raydon heard Fehim's cheerful voice.

Raydon turned his head, seeing the land that had begun to appear in his field of vision after some time, and said. ''My farming ends here huh? ''

Soon after, among the recognizable rusted iron bars, one of the ancient black tombs reappeared in his vision.

''Okay, we should now slow down. '' Since they were rapidly approaching the tomb, Raydon thought it was time to take action.

Raydon said, "Leave the frontal attacks to me while you defend the rear and back," and he and Fehim switched positions.

''Flame Burst. ''

Raydon activated Flame Burst in the opposite direction from how he usually uses it to increase their speed, and they began to slow down. Meanwhile, spirit slaves who had descended from the sky to attack them continued to burn to death.

After continuing in this manner for some time, they eventually slowed down significantly.

''Prepare for impact,'' Raydon said as he measured the impact distance of the fast-moving rock, despite the fact that they had been significantly slowed down.

''Jump!''

Following Raydon's instruction, they leaped over the rock and to the cliff's edge.

*BOOM*

Raydon and Fehim, due to their high rate of acceleration following the jump, rolled around on the ground for a while before finally coming to a stop as the rock they had been riding crashed into the cliff face.

Raydon halted his roll after a few meters when he turned around and saw the hundreds of spirit slaves who had been following them no longer doing so and instead ascending back into the sky.

"Phew, we made it, hahaha. '' He was in a great mood because he was having a great time on this adventure and because he had earned more experience points than he had on the first stage.

''Yes, and now we can check the next reward. '' Similarly, Fehim would have enjoyed this adventure, he said while grinning with his half-exposed mouth. Even though, in light of what Raydon had previously stated, he believed that this reward would not be as valuable as the body enchantment he discovered in the first stage, the thought of the unknowable reward for their labor was still enough to make him excited.

''Yeh, let's check it. ''

'I hope this reward is also very valuable and also something this stupid zombie wouldn't want, ' Raydon had already started making plans for himself to get this reward as well.

He got to his feet and brushed the dust from his clothes before walking over to the tomb. He then looked at the amount of experience points he had gained and decided that the effort had been well worth it.
