“All right then,” said Mr. Brown happily while looking at them, “let’s get out of here. I hope my presents can help you with your fight against those enemies.” With that, Peggy, Luna, and Tolly went out of the study together with Mr. Brown and Ms. Harmsworth. Then they waved goodbye to Mr. Brown and Ms. Harmsworth. They decided to take off immediately. Nevertheless, no one knew where the Pole Cold Island was located exactly. “Hey, Tolly,” said Peggy, “do you know in which direction we should head?” “Of course, I know, let’s go! Luna, Peggy, just follow me!” said Tolly proudly. Quickly, Luna and Peggy followed Tolly out of the school. “Shall we begin to call out our spiritual beasts to ride on them?” asked Peggy. “No, not yet, let’s walk!” said Tolly. “Walk?” asked Peggy in great surprise, “do you mean we’ll walk to the Pole Cold Island? If it is that way, our feet will bark at us like crazy dogs. Are you kidding us, Tolly?” “Hey, Peggy, stop nagging at me. Just walk and then y
Andy and his men were startled to find there were five hundred feather coins in the pouch. “Too many, my big brother, Tolly,” said Andy, smiling as if there was a hanger in his mouth. all of his men were also having a hanger in their mouths. “They are all yours,” said Tolly flatly, “try to get some intel about your young master. I want all the information about him.” “Young master?” asked Andy in surprise, “Do you mean our young master Jeff Woods?” “Yeah, report to me when I come back from the Pole Cold Island,” said Tolly. “But my big brother Tolly, why do you want to know all the information about our young master?” asked the scar-faced man in surprise. “Nothing special. I just met him on Bridge Street a few days ago. I’m just curious,” said Tolly casually. “Okay then, my big brother Tolly, but you have to promise that you won’t tell anyone you’ve got the information about him from us, or we’ll be in great trouble.” “Of course,” Tolly smiled, “Don’t worry.” “Okay, my big bro
Tolly shook his head vigorously and was lost for words. Apparently, his new runic formation was so special to him. “Are you pleased with the new runic formation I’ve made for you?” asked Maria smilingly. Wiping away the ice cream on his face, Tolly nodded with a faint smile, “I have to say you’re a prodigy, Maria. It looks like you have to go to study at Fanta Castle with me together.” “As you please,” said Maria, “You know I’m tired of my life here in the Wesilver school. I need some adventures, too.” “Then it’s a deal. When I come back from the Pole Cold Island, you have to go with me,” said Tolly while staring at her flawless face. “Okay,” said Maria, “I think it will be the wisest decision you’ve ever made.” Blinking her sloe-like eyes, Maria stared back at Tolly, her lips curving up into a big smile. “See you then, Maria,” said Tolly, “I think now it’s time for us to go.” Luna, Peggy, and Tolly waved her goodbye and walked out of her shop together. The wind outside started
“You mean this is a desert dungeon?” said Tolly while gaping at Luna in disbelief. “Yeah,” Luna said flatly, “but I’m not sure of it. It looks like there’s no use flying around here. I must walk and find the exit hidden somewhere in the desert.” “But where’s the exit? I guess before we get out of here, we’ll die because of the heat,” said Peggy while looking at the hot sun in the sky. “That means we have to act quickly,” said Tolly, “let’s start now! But before we searched for the exit, we’d better not go our separate ways. Otherwise, even if we find the exit, we probably have to start to look for one another.” “You’ve got a point there, Tolly,” said Luna, “but where should we start?” “Probably we can start to look for the exit in the direction of the north. The last time we got out of the Reflection Dungeon, the exit was located in the north anyway,” said Peggy. They started to look for the exit in the direction of the northern part of the desert. Yet, until they were thirsty di
“So, what are we going to do with the sun then?” asked Luna, blinking her eyes. “Well, I have to destroy it, I suppose,” said Tolly while rubbing his nose a few times, “I think probably you’re the best person who can destroy it.” “Why?” asked Peggy, gaping at Tolly in surprise, “Why is she the best person to do so?” “You know, Luna is the person who works on the ice-element technique. Ice is always the archenemy of fire anyway,” explained Tolly flatly. “Okay, let me attack it and see what will happen later,” said Luna. With that, she quickly pulled out her sword. By driving more of her vital energy into her hand holding the sword, instantly she got her sword spinning fast. In a minute, numerous sword flashes flew toward the sun in the sky. At the same time, the temperature in the air dropped dramatically. Even Tolly and Luna felt a little chilly. Tolly sneezed and crossed his arms in front of his chest to keep warm. Those sword flashes turned into snowflakes. Yet, they did not r
[Name: Universe Golden Cauldron] [Owner: Tolly McCoy] [Level: 8 as an ordinary alchemist] [Vital Energy: 4780] [Spirit Heritage: High-grade Level One but upgradable] [Main Art Owned: Energy Absorption Techniques, complete] [Layer 1 at Stage 4: Red Lotus Leaf Technique, complete] [Notice: Red Lotus Leaf Technique is an art handed down from generation to generation since ancient times. It’s been said it has long been lost. Practitioners who have gained the Red Lotus Leaf will absorb the vital energy of their enemies and transform enemies’ attacking powers into their own use.] Tolly was amazed that he had already been an ordinary alchemist of level eight. ‘Fantastic,’ thought he, “I’ve never expected that I can upgrade so fast.’ Looking at the points of his vital energy, he discovered that he still had 4780 points, which meant he could consume more to break through to another new level. Without any hesitation, he closed his eyes again, trying to meditate and let the vital energ
It was the voice of Luna. Tolly quickly realized that Luna and Peggy might be in great danger. Tolly swiftly moved in the direction of the cry. At the same time, he woke up his spiritual beast. “Fiona Dragon, come out of my sleeve and grow bigger.” With that, Fiona Dragon quickly crept out of his sleeve and grew larger until it was in its normal size. Fiona Dragon yawned and asked Tolly while rubbing its eyes with one of its thorn-sharp claws, “What’s going on, my dear master Tolly? I still feel sleepy.” “Sorry to have awakened you. It looks like Luna and Peggy are having trouble at the moment,” said Tolly while quickly mounting on the back of Fiona Dragon. “Fly me there, Fiona. We have to be quick, otherwise, they might be hurt,” added Tolly. Fiona Dragon wound its body and flew toward the direction of the cry as fast as possible. A few seconds later, Peggy and Luna came into their sights. They were riding on their respective spiritual beast, facing three snakes in front of th
The three Bineonates raised their heads and it looked like they were quite hesitant. “Look, we’re your friends, not your enemies. If you’re willing to be obedient to me, you’ll quench the envy inside your bodies. In this way, you won’t have to answer the call of the Altered,” said Tolly while staring at them with his big eyes unblinkingly, “I know deep down you’re not aggressive attackers. Actually, all of you are peace lovers. Now it’s your choice to be justice holders or justice destroyers.” “Why would we have so much envy inside our body?” asked one of the Bineonates, hissing its forked tongue slowly. “Because the Altered cast a spell on all of you. They wanted to control all of you to help them attack us human beings,” said Tolly flatly. Actually, Tolly was talking nonsense. Yet, it worked. The three Bineonates were fully convinced by his babblings. They lowered their heads and bowed to Tolly, indicating that they were willing to be obedient to Tolly. “Good, now I’ll quench t
Tolly saw the terror in Sally’s eyes. He knew he had to do something to protect them from the possible harm.Though there was no method to deal with the powerful attacks from Abu, who was employing his hellfire sword—himself with fire all over, Tolly knew that all he could do now was to strengthen his Upside-down Five-element formation.Without any hesitation, he took quite a few Red Spirit Stones from his Infinite Space Pack as quickly as possible and then in a flash they were thrown straight at his formation.In a minute, his formation was glowing brighter with red light.Sally stared at it and murmured with her widened eyes, “It’s beautiful. Is it going to protect us like a solid ball-like shield?”“I don’t know, Sally,” Tolly replied, keeping hurling more Red Spirit Stone at his formation. “Yet I know my Red Spirit Stone will help strengthen our formation.”“I’ll break it into pieces!” suddenly said Abu, who leapt high up into the sky like a fire ball and came down onto the format
Sally was right—before Tolly was able to jump into his formation, Tolly soon found himself caught in the rain of fire swords coming from Abu, taking a direct hit. Apparently, the move named Blood Soul Slash was truly powerful since the protective luminous ball formed by Everbright Pearl was quickly shattered like glass. Before Everbright Pearl was able to form a new protective ball, those swords continued to try to land on Tolly’s body. Luckily, Tolly whisked himself quickly enough to his formation just in the nick of time, sparing him from harm. Finally, all Abu’s powerful swords landed on the surface of Tolly’s Upside-down Five-element formation, which was strong enough to hold the assaults of the swords for the time being. “Damn it,” seethed Abu, “that was so close. You are lucky, little punk!” Tolly turned around, staring at Abu with a smile, “If there’s one thing I’m known for, it must be my ability to get good luck. Now, it looks like your so-called Blood Soul Flash cannot pe
When the ten swords of various shapes and colors went flying toward Tolly from different directions, Tolly did not worry about it at all. he knew the powerful Everbright Pearl that wrapped around him was going to protect him. Sure enough, when the sharp swords from Abut landed on the light ball formed by the Everbright Pearl one by one, they just could not penetrate it. 'I've heard Everbright Pearl is known for its defensive ability, but I never expected that it would be so powerful, ' thought Abu, who stared at Tolly furiously. "Why are you keeping gazing at me? " Tolly mocked, "You think I'm the most handsome guy in this world, huh? ” "Nonsense!" fumed Abu, who had never failed to kill anyone with his invincible swordsmanship. This time, he did not want to blow it, either even though his rival had the protection of the fantastic pearl. "Be careful, Abu," a rough voice came from the ship of death. "I've heard Everbright Pearl has the most powerful defensive ability in this world
Sally waited for her demise in despair. Yet, that sharp drill did not land on her body. Instead, suddenly, she heard a cry from Ana.Sally immediately opened her eyes to find out what was going on. To her surprise, she saw Tolly was standing in front of her. It turned out that Tolly had acted on time, throwing a heavy punch at Ana, who was sent far away from Sally and now landed hard on the ground.“I won’t allow anyone to bully my dear Sally,” seethed Tolly, who turned around and gave Sally a smile. “Are you Okay, Sally?”“Tolly, I’m all right. I just thought I couldn’t see you anymore!” replied Sally, whose eyes suddenly were filled with tears. She was so glad that she was still alive.Tolly immediately wiped the tears streaming down her face and reassured, “Don’t worry, Sally. I promise when I’m beside you, no one could hurt you.”“Bastard! You’ve finally gotten out of your little shell and face my punishment,” fumed Ana, who started to send toxic gas through her tentacles again.
“If you don’t want me to pinch you, now work on the antidotes.” Sally shot him a hard glare, arching her eyebrow. “See, time slips like water. Come on!” “Okay. I’ll embark on my journey to the higher level of my cultivation,” replied Tolly with a wide grin. “Don’t worry, I’ll make it.” Totally ignoring the wicked Ana outside his formation, Tolly sat down on the ground and started to mediate cross-legged, squeezing his eyes shut. “What are you doing, little punk? Do you think I run out of my means to attack you? You’re so naïve. I’ll figure out my way to fight against you soon,” shouted Ana, waving her tentacles wildly. “By the way, your friends only get forty-five minutes to live. I can’t wait to see them die before me.” “Shut up, hag!” shouted Sally, who stared at Ana furiously inside the formation. “What did you call me?” Ana went crazy, waving her long tentacles faster. If possible, she would like to tear Sally into pieces. The word ‘hag’ was simply more than she could bear.
“Ouch! Stop! I promise I’ll take out the book now!” begged Tolly with a smile. “All right, do that now, Tolly!” Sally smiled behind her hand, “Then I’ll let go your ear!” “There’s no need for you to treat me like this, Sally. I was just kidding!” In a fraction of a second, Tolly mumbled something in his mouth. And suddenly, a book suddenly flew out of his Infinite Space pack and started spinning itself unceasingly. After that, the book got bigger until it was as large as a normal book in the modern society. “Catch it!” said Tolly to Sally, “I’m sure we can find a way to make antidotes that can help David Dragon and the Five-headed Lion.” Sally leaped into the air and held it tight in her hand. When she was back to the ground, she glanced at the cover of the book where three big words greeted her eyes warmly: Core Pot Sutra. “Core Pot Sutra!” Sally blurted out in surprise, staring at the book unblinkingly. “It looks like you’ve heard about this book before!” said Tolly while star
Sighting that David Dragon and the Five-headed Lion would soon be wrapped up and dragged away by those tentacles around their bodies, Tolly gathered some of his vital energy to his hands. In an instant, two balls of fire appeared on his hands. Without any hesitation, he immediately pushed them toward Ana. “Pheonix Strike!” shouted Tolly. Those two torrents of fire turned into two flying phoenixes, which opened their mouths and tried to devour Ana. However, Ana was not scared. She just let them pass over her. Instantly, the fire was all over her. Yet, it could not hurt her whatsoever. “Useless fire!” sneered Ana, but her tentacles were going back a little because of the fire from Tolly. From every passing moment, Tolly quickly initiated his Upside-down Five-element Formation. He knew it was a good way to protect David Dragon and the Five-headed Lion from any further deadly harm from Ana. “The guide of my powerful runic formation, come on, try to protect all of us!” said Tolly calm
“Stop calling me the ugliest beauty, bastard!” bellowed Ana, her big ,thick tentacle raising higher, ready to attack its enemies at any time.She stopped scratching her head. Although having no idea which lion she should attack, she decided to attack the one right in front of her first.However, as her diamond-hard tentacle landed on it, she felt it was just like landing on nothing. In a minute, Ana realized that most of the lions shown before her was not real ones.“Damn it!” she fumed with indignation. “You’re a coward! Why are you playing such a trick? I know most of the lions before are just like your shadows.”Suddenly, all the lions before her raised their heads and roared once more. The roaring was so loud that it would crack the sky above their heads.Obviously, the Five-headed Lion launched a new round of roaring attacks. Presently, Ana felt her stomach was churning and she felt like puking. She tried to control herself, but finally she lost control and spat another mouthfu
In a few seconds, a creature with five headed leaped out of Tolly’s Infinite Space Pack. The creature turned out to be the Five-headed Lion, the spiritual beast that had used to belong to Mary, who had died a short while before. “Let me fight against the creature before you, Tolly,” said the Five-headed Lion in a rough voice. With that, it tilted its five heads up to the sky and roared, whose thunderous roars shocked Ana so much that she instinctively took a few paces back. She sized up the creature with five lions before her and then fumed, “Who are you? How could you call me a creature? Hey, I’m a human, and my name is Ana!” Yet, the Five-headed Lion roared into the sky again as if it had been laughing at Ana. “Human? You should look at yourself in the mirror. With tentacles crawling out of your belly, how could you call yourself a human? Even if you are a human, you are the ugliest one I’ve ever seen!” The same rough voice came from the five-headed Lion. While it was talking
