Chapter 384: Chapter 384

"Let Juanlu try. See if he can quickly supplement this person’s nutrition; maybe he can even bring him back to life," Jason suggested from the side. He knew Juanlu quite well and was aware of some of his interesting abilities.

Looking at the man’s condition, Alka nodded; it was their only option.

"Can we even touch him in this state? If we accidentally break the Spell he’s under, it’ll be all over," Chadite said.

Pororo observed the metal wall behind the man and the metal floor beneath him, then said, "Then let’s dig out the entire slab he’s on."

"Alright, let’s do that," Alka nodded. This was the best protective measure they could manage at the moment.

Then Alka instructed them, "You all clean up this ship and any remaining zombies in the vicinity. I’ll cut this section free and move it out." Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovєlFіre.net

Everyone nodded and turned to leave.

Alka watched the departing group and said, "Wait. Lucilia and Ling, stay and help." Their petite statures would allow them to spot more problems in such a complex environment.

Then, everyone went about their respective tasks.

Alka had the two small puppets check the gaps to see if the entire area was securely connected. If not, he would weld the metal pieces together, forming a single unit, and then cut it free.

Next, he began to plan the route, cutting away any obstructing walls and metal to create an opening leading outside.

The others had already started clearing out the zombies in various locations.

「Soon, it was afternoon.」

Alka had cut free the entire metal slab on which Simon lay and had even welded additional metal pieces around it to make it more secure.

Alka was now wearing the Mirror Surface, which reflected the Silver Threads Sea Monster.

Two of Alka’s fingers had transformed into threads. These threads represented the limit of Alka’s control. Thanks to their excellent Magic Power conduction, they possessed the strength of normal arms, holding the V-shaped iron slab steadily in the air.

The surrounding terrain was uneven, so it had to be lifted high to remain stable. If an accidental touch were to disrupt the Stagnation, it would be problematic.

When he carried it outside, he could still hear clanging sounds coming from two locations.

Pororo was hauling items from the wreckage of the wooden ship they had encountered earlier. He needed to clear the debris covering the original Treasure Vault to access it. This was the location marked with a white dot on the map.

Meanwhile, over by the steel ship, Jason and the others were also trying to figure out how to open its Treasure Vault. The area around that Treasure Vault was also deformed and twisted due to the impact.

Fortunately, the protective Spells on these two derelict ships had long since faded. They just needed brute force to open both Treasure Vaults.

Soon after, Pororo waved from nearby.

Alka turned to the two on his shoulder and said, "Keep an eye on this man. I’m going to help."

A path had been cleared through the rubble, revealing a large metal object beneath. A small opening had been cut into the object, but it was clearly too small for Pororo to squeeze through. Expanding it would take too much time and wouldn’t be worth the effort.

"I’ll go in and take a look," Alka said, dropping through the opening.

The moment he landed, his feet crunched onto metallic objects, making a sharp CLATTER.

His lantern, along with the light filtering in from outside, illuminated the interior, allowing him to survey the scene.

A large pile of coins lay in a corner at the bottom, beneath Alka’s feet. Nearby were some valuable-looking books and parchments. However, none of these were Spell items; otherwise, this location wouldn’t have been marked with a white dot.

Still, the coins at his feet and the jewelry and Gemstones inside the two metal boxes were a significant find.

Alka took out an empty money pouch and began stuffing the Golden Sail and Silver Snake coins from under his feet into it. This type of money pouch was similar to a Pocket Ring but could only hold qualifying coins.

The pouch filled quickly; the sheer number of Silver Snakes was overwhelming. However, there were still some Silver Snakes left, so Alka had to place them into his Pocket Ring, keeping them separate. He then stuffed some nearby ornaments into the Pocket Ring as well, leaving only the two metal boxes.

Alka’s Pocket Ring, which was already quite full, was now completely packed. He had no choice but to lift the metal boxes, pass them through the opening, and then climb out of the Treasure Vault himself.

When they emerged, Chadite and the others were already waiting with Lucilia and Ling.

Jason was swinging a two-meter-long Golden Staff, which looked to be solid gold, showing off.

Pororo also walked over, carrying a metal box on one shoulder.

"Guess whether what’s in your box is worth more than this stick I’m holding!" Jason challenged.

Before Pororo could speak, Alka came up from behind and tapped Jason’s Golden Staff.

"This Golden Staff isn’t solid gold," Alka said. "It’s gold-plated; the core is ordinary metal."

Despite this, the Golden Staff’s head was still embellished with a large sapphire and surrounded by a ring of tiny diamonds.
