The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker



Chapter 181: Hunting for the Forest Spirit Seed Part 19

As Kayn's group continued with their exploration, they had to bear with Roshan's continuous cry of feeling betrayed by his teammates.

However, what Roshan doesn't know was that Kimberly actually cast a <<Sound isolation>> spell on him in order to prevent them from hearing his loud voice. Unfortunately, that doesn't prevent him from doing other things. Like for example, annoying them, pulling them back and forth, acting as if he doesn't hear them, and many other more.

Kayn and the others have no other choice but to be understanding because they have indeed wronged Roshan by not telling him of their true plan.

Along the way, they encountered different monsters with various kinds of Gifts. As one could easily guess, they were able to slay all of them.

In the end, Kayn was able to level up three times, which now makes him level 26. In those three levels, he earned fifteen stats points, giving him a total of twenty-five SP to spare in improving his stats. He decided to use it in the future as he doesn't know yet what kind of situation awaits him.

Kayn's level didn't stop everyone from continuing to uncover more secrets about the underwater cave system. But what halted everyone instead was having enough of Roshan pestering them about their supposed betrayal. The latter was still not over it even though around six hours have already passed.

"We know, we know. We are sorry," Kayn could only apologize in hopes of ending everything and making Roshan quiet.

Lucky for them, Roshan did. But it wasn't because of Kayn apologizing to him. Rather, it was because their group had reached a huge open underwater cavern with no view of its other side. Even the ceiling was considerably high above.

Friedrich and the others' attention also turned away from Roshan.

"We didn't encounter anything similar to this the last time we were exploring," Friedrich was very surprised.

"I believe we are close to what I think is the boss's dungeon," Kayn uttered.

It implies the location of where a boss-rank monster resides.

This wasn't the first time they came into a place where there is a wide-open area. However, this time they felt the same feeling they sense when they were fighting against the Mountain Gorilla, probably even worse than that time.

"Should we continue or retreat?" Cedric can't help asking. Their situation right now no longer looks good after fighting underwater for a very long time. The skin on their hands has also already wrinkled after being exposed to water long enough. And they are also having a problem dealing with the strong force of pressure from the water.

"We have two options," Kayn looks at everyone solemnly. "We either look for where the entrance to the boss's room, or we return to the surface and continue the exploration tomorrow,"

"What do you suggest?" Friedrich wanted to know Kayn's opinion first.

"I want us to look for the boss's room so that we will have a very fruitful exploration. And also, I have the feeling that the Forest Spirit Origin Seed is inside the boss's room,"

Almost in every instance, the most valuable treasures are hidden in the boss's room. If one considers how valuable a Forest Spirit Origin Seed is, one too will not dismiss the possibility of it being inside the boss's room.

"Although if we return it doesn't mean we are also retreating empty-handed," Friedrich added on Kayn's opinion. He looks at Roshan, Cedric, and Kimberly as if asking what the others intended to do right now.

"I want to return," Cedric voiced out. He is no longer confident in supporting everyone in his current state. If ever they faced a very dangerous situation, there is a high chance that he will fail in saving one of them.

"I don't mind," Roshan is still feeling very energized, probably because he was electrocuted not long ago by the Bolt Eel.

"I'll go with whatever you decide," Kimberly motions her hand to Friedrich. She still has a lot of mana left in her mana core, but she doesn't want to be the deciding factor on whether they should proceed or not as she can't bear the consequences if something bad happens.

"So, there are two people who agree, one abstains, and another one rejects the idea of continuing to find the boss's room," Kayn uttered to Friedrich. "Your vote will be the deciding factor,"

"I know," Friedrich naturally understood. He started observing everyone's condition first before coming to a conclusion.

"Other than our healer Cedric, everyone's condition is totally fine,"

In the end, Friedrich agrees with Kayn. But, "As long as we retreat immediately after finding the boss's room, everything should be alright,"

"If that's the case, I guess I can try to do my best as well," Cedric could only sigh heavily.

Friedrich could only look at Cedric apologetically as he had laid a heavy burden on the latter's shoulder since he is their main support.

"It's fine," Cedric smiles weakly.

With that being said, Kayn and the others extended their exploration.

Because the water was now dark due to the fact that the ceiling is way up above their heads and the light of the illuminating stones could no longer brighten up the entire place, they had no choice but to proceed very carefully and to stick on the ground where they can still see a limited area around them.

It wasn't a good feeling to continue exploring with a limited range of vision. But they have to be accountable for the consequences of their decision just now.

Although it wasn't all that bad because if they can't see that far, the monsters swimming around them also couldn't. And because of that, they never met any more monsters on their journey.

There's only one location where a boss's room could be located — around the walls.

If it was up above the ceiling, they would have found it easily, and the same goes for the floor. So, the only option left is around the walls.

Because of that, they focused all of their attention on searching around the walls of the cavern. And in that decision, they realized just how huge this entire cavern was, which caused them to think of another possibility.
