Chapter 911

The group once again came before the cloud formation and gulped. They hoped that the item given by the old man is indeed something that will give them access. They just hoped that the Carabao Clan is indeed in the hidden islands south of the eastern continent.

Peridot utilized her elemental magic to create a wind sphere around them as they descended. The wind sphere descended into the ocean. The three are in front of the reef but nothing is happening, and they just stood there for five minutes.

"The gourd is not doing anything." Levin Cloud pointed out.

"Maybe it is faulty." Kabrakan stated as he tried shaking the gourd.

"If it is an item from the eastern continent then did you gain ownership for it? Peridot asked as she knows what kind of things are needed for items in the eastern continent.

It is widely known that items from the eastern continent will have special means to activate. Items that need ownership are rare items that can never be traded once bonded with the owner. Items like these are widely wanted by people and players since they do not drop on death.

Weapons or items that need ownership can only be separated from the owner when they are released by the said owner. Peridot is thinking that this should be true to the gourd since it appeared out of nowhere when the old hermit gave it to Kabrakan.

"How am I going to gain ownership?" Kabrakan asked Peridot as he is not familiar with the ways of the eastern continent.

"Drop your blood on it. It should activate if it is a magical item." Peridot stated.

Kabrakan pulled a sharp sword from his inventory and took quite some time to pierce his skin. Seeing that Kabrakan could not easily pierce his skin due to how durable he is, Peridot created an ice knife and made a cut on his palm.

The blood is then dropped on the gourd which suddenly emitted a faint light. The normal looking clay gourd then shined as its body turned into gold. The golden gourd then shot towards Kabrakan's forehead when it turned into a streak of light.

"So, what do I do next?" Kabrakan asked as he does not know what to do after getting ownership of the item.

"Sorry about that. I was just stunned that it accepted you so easily. I thought that it would at least take ten minutes and not an instant. Imagine the item materializing from within your hands." Peridot stated.

Kabrakan imagined the gourd in his hands like what Peridot instructed. A streak of light then shot out from his forehead and appeared on his right hand. The golden gourd is also decorated with a bull insignia to tell the world that it is the property of Kabrakan and no one else.

As if knowing the wish of its owner, the golden bull gourd flew out and suddenly got stuck on the reef. The golden bull gourd suddenly started to create a suction force so mighty that it pulled the group inside of it. They could not even resist the pulling force as all of them suddenly became energy and got pulled inside.

The golden bull gourd then vanished from the face of the reef. The next thing that the group noticed is that they are now in the ocean being dragged by a fast current. The feeling is like when they are getting swept by a rapid raging river. The most important thing now is that they are swimming inside the ocean, but their air reserves are almost off.

Levin Cloud is a leshy so he barely needs to breathe, but he still needs carbon dioxide in order to breath. He could hold on for about two hours without needing to breath. Peridot could make use of her draconic lungs that can survive in either land or water, so she is also fine. The only one in need of air is Kabrakan.

Peridot hurriedly made a wind sphere once more and pushed out the water outside of it. She included all three of them inside as they are riding the underwater current. Kabrakan have a thumbs up to Peridot as he inhaled the air that he needed.

"I almost died from drowning." Kabrakan stated as he is still gasping for air.

The three of them then notice the surrounding water monsters around them. The monsters around them were fishes that do not attack unless provoked which is why they got to admire the beauty of all of the sea life. A streak of light then shot back towards Kabrakan as the golden bull gourd returned to his body.

"It did not feel like we were teleported away but more like a mystical entrance is needed. If we need to get back to the other side, then we would also need to travel using the same method." Peridot stated as she thinks that it must be set up that way.

"I still have some Return Scroll that Adrian gave me so we can get back to the mainland using that." Levin Cloud stated but it also made Kabrakan ponder.

'

"Is it possible for it to fail?" Kabrakan asked.

Levin Cloud was not able to answer the question as they suddenly got shot out of the water. They arrived in a shore of an island. Peridot checked the map and could detect that they are indeed in the hidden islands. When they looked back, they could also see the cloud formation in the distance.

[You have arrived in the Hidden Island Nation, Mahar Lika.]

[You are not the first players to reach the hidden island nation. No discovery reward will be given.]

"I can sense it!" Kabrakan suddenly shouted.

'',

When the wind sphere vanished, Kabrakan immediately sense something as he is also bonded with the Will of the Wilde. He could not explain the feeling well, but he could feel that something inside is calling out to him and resonating with the divine item.

"Where is it?" Levin Cloud asked.

"I do not know the exact location, but I can feel that it is close." Kabrakan replied.

"Someone is here!" Peridot stated as she suddenly conjured up an earth barrier.

'.',

A few seconds later, a volley of arrows is suddenly shot towards them. The arrows did not do any damage to them because the earth barrier blocked all of them. The arrows came from the forest adjacent to the shore and Peridot could feel the danger using her keen senses.

"Let me handle this." Levin Cloud stated.

Levin Cloud then whispered something to the air and screams suddenly erupted from the forest. Numerous figures are suddenly tossed by the trees themselves. Some were able to dodge but most of the individuals got caught by the branches or were tossed to the area outside the forest.

The ones that got tossed are undoubtedly human, but their armor is different from the ones being used by either the central or eastern continent. The armor that they are using looked familiar to the three, but they could not pinpoint where they saw the garb.

"Is it not familiar to the traditional dresses that indigenous people wear on our country?" Kabrakan pointed out but he suddenly sensed great danger homing in towards them.

He tapped the ground and two towering shields suddenly materialized from the earth itself. These two shields looked like lit was made by a special crystal. Kabrakan put the two shields together and a crisp sound of two metals colliding is heard.

Kabrakan managed to tank the attack greatly, but he still received 10% of the damage of the actual attack. He did not flinch nor get knocked back which is a testament to his great endurance stat. The one who attacked them is actually greatly impressed as he was the one that got knocked back instead of his opponent.

The assailant that attacked them has two swords that are different from one another. The sword is a kris and a balisong but the second sword seems to be more common as the other people hidden in the forest also has one behind them. More importantly, Levin Cloud could be seen pointing towards the person that attacked them.

"Isn't that Apolaki?" Levin Cloud shouted instinctively which made the other party ask them a question.

"How did you get here?" Apolaki asked the three individuals that he does not know. All that he knows is that they are players, but they do not seem to be famous since he could not recognize them. They are not in the representative list back then as well when Pandelympics happened.

"We came using this item." Kabrakan stated as he whipped out the gourd from his forehead. The inhabitants of the island were stunned that an unknown being has an item that is important to the hidden islands. What is more confusing is that they were not transported to the usual gate but are sent farther south.

They then noticed that Kabrakan has two horns protruding from his head which is reminiscent from the clan that resides in the southern most part of Mahar Lika.
