Chapter 45 Explosion!

"we're heading back to Freedom town!"

Hearing Elric say those words, the three of them couldn't help but be stunned after all they had already planned to go to both slime heaven and the bat caves to hunt the beast's there for materials.

Thinking of this, the three of them quickly gave Elric a look of doubt

"Hey I know what you're thinking, but look around you, we're out of supplies, our carriage was sacrificed earlier to create a distraction plus we've lived in a cave for over a month. And now, Considering our huge consumption over this month, do you think it's worth it to continue the Journey in such a state?"

Sensing their doubts Elric calmly answered them after all he was the one who proposed the journey in the first place, the least he could do was give them a reason for calling it off.

And as he expected, immediately after he finished speaking, the doubts on three of their faces immediately disappeared.

"Good, it seems like you all agree, now pick a piece of equipment and let's roll out" Said Elric as he pointed to a large pile of bones

It turns out that during this month, Alvin had discovered a way to permanently inscribe runes onto animal flesh and bones creating magic-type equipment for use, unfortunately, multiple uses can quickly wear out the material causing it to become unusable.

Soon George picked a sword-shaped bone with a wind inscription on it, followed by George who picked up two bone daggers with shadow inscriptions on them, after that it was remaining only Elric and Alvin. It's just that Alvin already had his flame staff and Elric had his spell book negating their need for it

After everyone had picked a weapon, Elric waved his hand summoning all the remaining equipment into his soul space

*It seems when I have time, I should study this small world more*

Looking at this scene, Elric couldn't help but think back to what happened two days ago. Back then when he was fiddling with his spell book and an idea suddenly came to mind

*Wait! Since my spell book can go in and out, can other things go through, if so can living things be brought in and out?"

Immediately with a newfound spirit of curiosity, he quickly consented to the nearest piece of beast bone

Unexpectedly to his surprise after picking it up and focusing on it, it was actually transferred to the small world

Immediately after discovering this, Elric couldn't help but try again with different things, from rocks on the ground, weeds on the floor, and even small insects were caught. Elric seemed to catch anything his hands could get on.

Unfortunately, the only thing that slightly dampened his mood was the fact that after the insects were released all of them had died showing the space still couldn't support life

*Haha, however it's not like it's not without hope, who knows maybe in the future it might turn into the second Elias"

With a light laugh, Elric clenched his fists as he anticipated his future growth

However Elric knew if he wanted to achieve such, it would still be a long time away, so putting away his distracting thoughts he quickly focused on his current situation

"Alright, now that everyone's picked their weapon, it's time for us to bust out of here"

Saying this, he immediately led them to the now-sealed entrance

*Tap~*

*Tap~*

*Tap~*

Soon, after a period of walking they successfully reached their destination.

"Young master, we're here! Can I do it?"

"Please tell me I can do it!"

As soon as they arrived Alvin couldn't help but run up to Elric with a look of anticipation. It's just that seeing Alvin like this Elric couldn't help but roll his eyes, even George and Davis on the side whistled pretending like they don't know how

Thankfully Alvin ignored them and kept on begging Elric.

It turns out that the escape plan was to channel enough mana into pieces of inscribed bones until they exploded completely bombing the entrance.

Although risky after all if not arranged properly a cave-in could happen completely burying them alive thankfully after careful calculations with the A.I chip the optimal procedure had been deduced.

It's just that looking at Alvin whose behaviour was completely different from normal, Elric suddenly had a headache

Ever since he got his flame staff, the inner arsonist in Alvin seemed to have awakened causing him to blow up rocks every day, and now seeing there was a chance of a huge explosion Alvin quickly lost himself

"Sigh.."

"Fine, you can imbue the mana into the bones once I've put them into position"

With a slight sigh Elric couldn't help but give into Alvin's begging.

"Haha thank you young master!"

With a cheerful laugh, the staff in Alvin's hand quickly shot fireballs into the air as if to show his happiness

Soon with everyone's help, the remaining bones were taken out of Elric's soul spaces and arranged in a formation within the boulders' ridges and underneath it.

"Are you ready Alvin?"

Said Elric as he George and Davis moved out of the splash range

"Um! I'm ready, young master!" Said Alvin

Holding his staff upright, a crazy look could be seen in his eyes.

At this point, all bones had been arranged and filled to the brim with mana by Elric and the rest, all that was remaining was a fireball from Alvin to trigger the chain reaction

Taking a Deen breath, Alvin closed his eyes

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Explosion!!!"

With a loud roar, he fired the fireball toward the boulder

"BOOOM!!!"

Immediately a loud boom resounded through the cave thankfully Alvin had already talked the opportunity to hide immediately he fired the first fireball

"BOOOM!!!"

"BOOOM!!!"

"BOOOM!!!"

Soon three more sounds rang as the other bones upon contract Immediately followed suit and exploded.

Soon a symphony of explosions happened before Elric and the rest's eyes

"Hahaha!"

"Damn! Did I do this"

Looking at his masterpiece, Alvin had a satisfied expression on his face.

Unfortunately, it was just that the explosion didn't last long and quickly died down.

And so after a while, the dust settled completely allowing Elric and the rest to see their first ray of sunshine in a while
