Overwhelming Force, Golden Treasure!

Golden Lightning fell, amplifying the power of the blade's light.

As Ronan slashed down, the forbidden aura of the [Golden Fire] Forbidden Law Domain became denser than ever before.

The countless chants echoing in the void gradually merged into a single voice—[All things are children of fire and metal, all things return to the mother of fire and metal]! It repeated endlessly, like countless golden wings buzzing and vibrating.

"Boom!"

The Golden Wing Blade slashed diagonally down, splashing asphalt-like golden flames, like a scalding knife cutting through butter. The giant with the hundred-meter arm was directly severed from the chest by Ronan's single strike!

At the severed point, countless pale arms trembled and writhed like severed, eerie blood vessels, quickly burning to a charred black by the flames.

Shocking and moving fluctuations of consciousness emanated from the void. The five brilliant crystals representing the primordial spirit flickered rapidly, and the remaining half of the hundred-meter-long-armed giant's body was thrown backward at high speed.

Ronan blinked, strode to catch up, his right hand hanging naturally, as did the Golden Wing Blade composed of countless broken musical notes.

He stepped into the void, taking a step forward as if dragging a sword.

"Whoosh—"

Ronan raised his hand, making a slashing motion again.

The Golden Wing Blade moved in sync with it, splashing light and reflecting a magnificent and dazzling golden world in the void.

Forbidden lightning followed him everywhere.

"Snap—"

With a flash of light, a dazzling blade mark silently appeared on the gray-white mud, stretching for who knows how many miles. Within the mark, countless grains of mud and sand were melted by the intense heat, and asphalt-like golden flames flowed through the ravines.

The giant with only half a body was split open from the middle, and a humanoid figure, somewhere between reality and illusion, rapidly appeared.

Their faces were not clearly visible; one could only vaguely make out a face filled with shock and disbelief.

"You're not at Level 4? How is that possible???"

The five brilliant crystals on the latter's body appeared much dimmer. After detaching from the countless pale arms, it flew away into the distance without saying a word.

"Whoosh—"

A dazzling golden blade of light slashed through the sky, its blinding brilliance extending far beyond its tip, instantly striking the figure and blasting it apart.

Ronan heard a sharp scream, followed by countless rays of light that coalesced into a much dimmer figure, which then vanished completely on the distant horizon.

"Pity."

Ronan gazed at the figure that quickly disappeared from sight, a hint of regret in his eyes.

After all, he was Level Five Wizard. Although his elemental spirit was only five stars, once his body was elementalized, he was determined to escape, and it would be difficult for him to stop the other party.

He slowly withdrew from the state of [[Clarity Extreme Thought]], his soaring spiritual power rapidly declined, and the dazzling Golden Wing Blade also disintegrated. The forbidden tide receded, Itai flow returned to his control.

The second layer of the Spell Inheritance, [Golden Fire Spirit Moye], was more powerful than Ronan had expected.

The Song of Gold and Fire, a poem unique to Spirit Maya, was only just opened to the first page, yet it was enough for a level four wizard to crush an ordinary Level Five Wizard.

Of course, it is also inextricably linked to the powerful spiritual foundation that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"This is just the power of the two spells, [Golden Soul] and [Brass Head], when they reach the second stage of the Magic Domain Resonance Realm."

If all five spells reach the second or even Level Three, the power of the secret technique [Golden Origin] might even surpass that of Eclipse Moment].

Ronan's eyes were piercing, his pupils still retaining a lingering golden hue.

This is the difference between spells with and without lineage.

While both are secret techniques that fuse multiple magic domains, Ronan's [Hecalto Ancient Devour], which he developed and experimented with on his own, appears much weaker in the ice element.

"Perhaps I should revisit the magical subjects of 'the Ice-Fire Fusion' and 'the Ice and Fire Co-Reverence'."

Ronan thought to himself, then silently turned around and immediately saw Jason with his eyes wide open, mouth slightly agape, looking completely dumbfounded.

He seemed to have forgotten what Ronan had asked him to do, and remained in that position, standing there motionless.

Only when Ronan landed in front of him did he gradually emerge from his "petrified" state.

"Stop daydreaming, open the treasure chest!"

Ronan flicked his sleeve, Itai clanging sound emanated from beneath his robes.

Jason nodded subconsciously, gave him a deep look with an indescribably complex expression, and then resumed his unfinished business.

But then, Jason mispronounced the secret key to unlocking the treasure five times in a row. It wasn't until the sixth time that he finally managed to complete each step perfectly, albeit with some stumbles.

"Picture~an"

As Jason uttered the last syllable, the unremarkable Linked Ring he had been holding in his hand began to gleam with a dazzling silver light.

Then a strange scene unfolded—

The gray-white sand dunes in front of them rose up, with mud, sand and stones rolling down with a soft rustling sound. Before long, a narrow and strange silver door appeared behind the dunes.

The small door was covered with various beautiful patterns, but it had no doorknob, no latch, and no lock ring or similar thing.

At this moment, the glowing Linked Ring shattered, turning into a cluster of fragments of light, which seemed to be blown by the wind and rushed to the small door. The small door creaked open and revealed a deep, winding staircase leading downwards.

Ronan and Jason exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of excitement and joy in each other's eyes.

Jason casually tossed a few Rune Stone around to conceal the strangeness and fluctuations in the sand dunes, then briefly called to Ronan.

"Walk."

Ronan nodded without saying a word, and the two entered the small door one after the other.

Not long after entering through the small door, I heard the sound of the small door closing behind me.

The small door that Ronan and his companion had seen disappeared quickly, leaving only a bare stone wall, as if it had never existed.

"Damn it..."

Jason rushed up and groped around on the stone wall for a while, then looked at Ronan with a somewhat grim expression, "Are we going to be stuck here?"

Ronan was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's go down and take a look."

Jason nodded, his expression gradually calming down.

Since we're already here, let's make the best of it. Now is not the time to worry about this.

The two slowly descended the stone steps. On either side of the steps were deep, seemingly bottomless abysses, yet faint light emanated from below, as if possessing some kind of magical Magic Power, drawing them to quicken their pace.

"Hiss—hiss—"

Jason suddenly sniffed hard, frowning, and asked, "What's that smell? Damien, can you smell it?"

Ronan's expression changed slightly, and he replied softly, "It smells like Gold Coin."

The smell of lots and lots of Gold Coin piled together.

His words made Jason's eyes light up slightly, and he moved even faster, almost taking two steps in five, and in the blink of an eye he approached the first ball of light below.

Ronan followed behind Jason, watching him practically leap down the stone steps, face a platform about ten meters in diameter, and bury himself completely in a small mountain of gleaming gold Gold Coin piled up on it! "Clatter—"

Jason tackled a mountain of Gold Coin, plunging headfirst into the golden sea of Gold Coin. He jerked his head up, grabbing handfuls of Gold Coin with both hands, and shouted excitedly and wildly, "Haha, all the treasure Gold Coin are mine! All of them are mine!"

The joy lasted for a few breaths, then Jason sighed heavily and shook his head, saying, "But what use are Gold Coin to us wizards? They're not Magic Crystal, or even magic stones, damn it!"

He stood up from the pile of Gold Coin, stomped his foot hard on the ground with a hint of resentment, and couldn't help but curse, "You made me happy for nothing."

"Not necessarily."

Ronan descended the stone steps, casually picked up a Gold Coin, and, looking at the prominent spiel pattern printed on it, said with a mysterious expression, "These ancient Gold Coin are mixed with a lot of rare magical metals; their value is much higher than you imagine."

As a Metal Element wizard, Ronan's sensitivity to rare metals far surpasses that of ordinary wizards.

He sensed that the ancient Gold Coin in his hand contained a lot of rare magical metals. Some of its components felt very similar to the material of the nameplate hanging around Dodol III's neck; they were almost both rare Dawn Rank metals.

Although a single Gold Coin may contain only a small amount of these rare metals, the sheer number of Gold Coin makes up for it.

The Gold Coin piled up like small mountains on this platform, totaling an estimated hundreds of thousands or even millions, could be used to feed Itai. He had previously considered upgrading Itai, but had never had the spare resources to do so. Now, this problem seems to have been solved.

Thinking of this, Ronan took a light breath, trying to calm his somewhat excited feelings.

Then, turning to Jason, who had become interested in the Gold Coin because of his words, he said, "These Gold Coin are very useful to me; they can be used to upgrade the grade of my Metal Element magic medium."

Jason, could you give me some of it? I can trade you Magic Crystal for it.

Jason glanced at him and casually said, "If you want them, take them all."

It's useless to me anyway.

Ronan frowned. "It seems you have no idea about the true value of these ancient Gold Coin."

"Of course I know."

Jason laughed and said, "Rare metals, you know."

But how many wizards would go to such lengths to extract them from Gold Coin by Gold Coin? In my opinion...

Jason casually flicked a Gold Coin between his fingers, and it landed far away in the pile of Gold Coin with a crisp and pleasant sound.

"It only has some value for collection and research."

"But"

Damien!

Ronan wanted to say something more, but Jason immediately interrupted him.

Did you see me thank you for what just happened?

Jason looked at Ronan intently, paused, and calmly said, "Or rather, are you trying to humiliate me in this way?"

Ronan was stunned.

Ronan originally thought that both the Linked Ring and the specific location of the treasure were provided by Jason. As someone who "freeloaded" from the team, he would be satisfied if he could take a small portion of the Goblin Vault that belonged to him.

He and Jason were just "ordinary friends" who hadn't known each other for very long.

However, it now seems that Jason doesn't think so. Ronan was silent for a while, then finally nodded.

"Good."

He said calmly, "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Jason smiled broadly, a smile that was completely incongruous with his appearance and status, appearing on his seemingly fierce face.

"That's more like it."

"If I need anything from you later, I won't be polite either. To be honest, Damien."

Jason shrugged helplessly and said, "If I were you, I would have killed me by now and kept the treasure for myself."

"I'm so sorry to disappoint you..."

Ronan replied casually, and then began to use the Mist Space to collect the Gold Coin on the platform's ground in piles.

When the third wave was received.

With a crisp "whoosh," a cute, fluffy gray goat with two small, beady eyes full of shrewdness and cunning hopped out of the space.

As soon as he came out, this guy clung to Ronan, rubbing against his thigh incessantly.

"Meow meow meow—"

He stared longingly at the Gold Coin on the ground, looking ingratiating.
