Cosmic Peak

'If that cocoon doesn't get the sacrifices, the entity inside it will not take birth,' Aren thought with a sharp light in his eyes while flying.

He had effectively destroyed the entire plan because those brothers trapped people here and resurrected that Orc lord to kill the two hundred people and sacrifice them to feed that cocoon.

But now that the barrier was no more, those people would escape. Thus, cutting off the supply to feed that cocoon.

The barrier was invisible and would only flicker with a blood glow if someone hit it, so nobody noticed when it disappeared. So, Aren's one shout changed the game...for now.

Aren took out the map and looked at it. According to information on the altar, that Orc Lord will surely move towards that town.

Unfortunately, Aren could see from the map that it was a small town. From the map, the only big town in this area was the Dusalmeir town of Dusalmeir duchy, the territory of Duke Heigan.

He paused on his flight and looked back with focus to zoom it as he muttered, "that orc lord had changed his direction already...but what will those two brothers do now? That cocoon shouldn't be able to move as well because if it was possible, they wouldn't have to stage this entire trap."

He located a nearby mountain and decided to stay on its peak while observing the cocoon since it was floating in the sky and glowing blood red.

...

Jogarth, Godan, and Hafina rode on a strange whirlwind mattress that Hafina was controlling and flew towards the Dusalmeir town at full speed.

"We have to inform the Duke about this matter! Only he can stop that monster," Jogarth spoke with a grave expression.

"We don't even know what is going on with that cocoon, damn!!" Godan said with frustration.

Unknown thing is always more terrifying, and that cocoon was such a thing because, on top of being unknown, it also gave them a very bad feeling.

Hafina frowned and said, "that giant monster stopped following people after they ran away, and now it had changed its direction! It seems to be moving towards Kogalar Town."

Jugadth clenched his fist before he spoke with determination, "full speed, Hafina! We have to inform lord Heigan as soon as possible so he can stop that monster."

...

On the other hand, the two brothers stood near the altar with dark expressions on their faces.

"Who the fuck was that?" Bakel growled with anger.

Hakel also had a frown as he looked at the cocoon and took out the blood Hexa crystal before saying, "It doesn't matter because we have more important tasks to complete at hand. The cocoon won't move from its position due to this blood spring valley, but we still need to gather 200 powerful sacrifices."

"Damn, damn, damn!" Bakel was angry as he punched the air, "how can we trap 200 powerful sacrifices here right now and kill them? It's fucking impossible! We need people with mortal-5 and up lifeform stage, and they won't just present themselves here."

"Shut the fuck up, and let me think!" Hakel shouted coldly.

Suddenly, both brothers sensed something and looked in the sky in the east direction.

...

After thirty minutes, Jogarth, Godan, and Hafina arrived at the town and hurried towards the palace, but the Duke was not there.

"I was keeping a lookout in the town, and several people returned here saying that they were blocked because an invisible barrier suddenly appeared and couldn't enter the blood spring valley's area," Jeralt said as with a grave expression, "so I relayed this information to lord Heigan, and he went there to see the situation himself."

Hearing that, Jogarth, Godan, and Hefina were stunned as they looked at each other.

"So we missed each other on the way? However, lord Heigan's speed is faster, so he must have reached there shortly after we all escaped," Hafina speculated.

"Let's hope that lord Heigam met someone on the way, but we still have to return there right now! Let's go," Jogarth spoke.

"Give me a new force level 2 spirit stone because both my spirit stones are out of energy, and it will take time to recover, which we don't have," Hafina hurridly said to Jeralt.

jeralt nodded as he hurridly went deeper into the palace to get a spirit stone.

...

*Boooooooooom...*

*Shuaaaaa....*

"Hahaha, stop wasting your time, Heigan! You can't do anything to that cocoon!"

At this time, the two brothers were tied up by magical vines and couldn't do anything as the vine constantly sucked their spirit energy.

Heigan indeed didn't encounter anyone on the way because he was flying high in the sky, and not all people had the capability to fly. He was also flying at full speed towards this location and rushed here after seeing the brightly glowing bloody cocoon in the sky.

After arriving here, he first took care of the two brothers and then focused on the cocoon. By now, he had been attacking the cocoon for nearly thirty minutes, but there wasn't even a scratch after he tried all types of methods.

He looked at Haken and Baken with a grimace and said, "tell me how to destroy this thing, or I will make you wish death but will not grant you!"

Haken and Baken had a maddening gleam in their eyes as they laughed loudly.

"No matter what you do to us, no beans will spill from our mouths!"

"Hahaha, however, an Exceed like you can't destroy that cocoon, that's for sure."

...

On the other hand, after Aren landed on the mountain, he found a small ore lump attached to the rock on the mountain and was trying to harvest it was by hammering it with his [Destructo] hammer gear.

After thirty minutes, he finally mined the small ore deposits. Well, in a sense, he didn't mine it properly but destroyed it and took its pieces.

[Fizart Iron Ore]

-Type: raw material.

-Grade: Platinum-grade material.

-Trait note: this ore has a high magnetic field and is mostly used for blunt weapons because of its solid condensed structure.

'Hmmm...this ore is not processed into a proper metal material for weapon forging, but...my gear crafting is a bit different, so I should try to create gear with raw material. Who knows, it might work,' Aren thought as he put the last bit of Fizart Iron ore into his inventory.

Afterward, he looked at the blood cocoon in the sky and saw some light flicking around it.

"Hmmm? Is someone attacking it?" Aren was surprised as he hurridly jumped on his sword and started flying in there.

After getting near the area, he slowed down and moved sneakily among the trees that were intact because that giant orc lord had destroyed many trees in the area.

He hid behind a boulder and moved a bit more from behind it towards the intact tree that was a bit further to get a clear view of the blood spring, and the scene he saw surprised him.

'Duke Heigan?....Those two brothers are also tied up by him.'

Duke Heigan, who was talking, paused and looked in Aren's direction.

Aren hurridly went into hiding, but immediately after that, he revealed himself and said, "It's me."

Heigan was going to shout, "come out" but before he could, he saw Aren coming out and was surprised.
