“Ahhh!”
Boom, boom, boom!
Dolores started banging on the cauldron over and over again. She finally realized that she was in danger, and with the Chaos tree, Alex managed to take complete control over her cauldron. Now that he had taken over, she was completely trapped.
On the other hand, Alex surprisingly found out that the cauldron was an alchemical furnace without a lid. However, it was made out of rare materials, so it would be considered a unique mystical tool that was basically priceless.
“Heavenly Immortal-slaying Formation; Seal!” Alex roared as he formed a talisman in his hands, sealing the cauldron completely with the sword heart.
With this, Dolores was out of luck.
Alex laughed again. “How about now? Are you still going to threaten me, hmm? And you call yourself a divine peacock beast? Oh please, you’re just an edible old hen! Well, if you don’t want to be cooked alive, I could just make you into peacock pills. They’d definitely come out great.”
Pigsy protested. “Hey, what do you mean by making her into pills? I just want to eat some chicken. I heard these old hens are pretty nutritious and that they’re good for your kidneys.”
Two hours later, the sacred nun of Peacock Mountain passed away.
***
In the end, Alex buried Dolores away since she didn’t show her true form. It was likely that she couldn’t do so as the cauldron was too small. She would be three times larger than Sam if she did, which would be impossible for the cauldron to hold.
Hence, he decided to… Leave her human form alone. He even went as far as to stop Pigsy from eating her, no matter how much it wanted to.
They could only find two spatial rings on Dolores and Sam’s corpses, but there were quite a few items in there. Hence, they still managed to profit out of this situation. The most valuable item was none other and the cauldron, as it was half an alchemical furnace. Although incomplete, it still managed to take the diving lightning hundreds of times. It was definitely an extraordinary treasure.
“But how do we even go to the Wasteland?” Pigsy asked. “We’d have to go through the Endless Sea from here. And that’s no joke! Even a Heavenly King might die there. It’d be a death wish if we nobodies tried to even take a single step in there.”
Alex narrowed his eyes. He just had to go back, no matter the consequence. That was because Cheryl told him that his father had gone back home.
However, his condition was worsening, and his life was in grave danger. Hence, he knew that he had to rush home, even if it would be hard.
In the end, he came up with an idea.
“There’s a lot of Undead beasts in this formation. Like, the ones that were killed during the battle in ancient times. Now, these corpses are being possessed by the spirits of the Einherjars who died in war.”
“Even now, these beasts still contain the Chi of the Undead, so they would be seen as one of them if they wandered about the Endless Sea. As long as we hide in the stomach of one of these beasts, we might just make it through in one piece.”
