The magical gates opened and Flaming Skeleton Caitley ran in swiftly.

Creak, creak, creak, creak, tch!

Creak, creak, creak, creak, tch!

The ground beneath its feet was trembling. The walls were shaking and hot lava splattering about. A dragon roared in the distance.

“Let’s go!”

Li Yi led Jiaojiao to chase after Caitley.

They had reached the center of the depths of Wailing Grotto. The surrounding passageways were swirling, constantly changing the routes. If they did not keep up with Caitley, then they would never be able to find their way out again even after years of going through the passages.

After chasing it for up to an hour, Caitley finally stopped.

A red doorway loomed before it and had the words ‘Flaming Dragon Lair’ written boldly on it.

Caitley hurled a shot of Flaming Blast to smash open the door, but this heavy doorway did not open as the previous magical gate did. It remained unscathed as it engulfed all of Caitley’s magic.

“Damn! Damn!” Caitley screamed in anger.

It continued to make futile attempts to blast the door open with its magic despite knowing very well that it could never open the door.

Jiaojiao pointed her greatsword at Caitley. “Do we kill it?”

Li Yi shook his head. They have already been briefed through the earlier special dungeon experience. This Flaming Skeleton Caitley was not merely just Wicked Flaming Dragon’s underling.

With the Fire Wizard dead, Caitley whose soul was attached to the bracelet took over the control of its skeleton.

Caitley suddenly turned around to look at the duo. “I wasn’t trying to protect Wicked Flaming Dragon all the while I’ve been guarding this place. It was the exact opposite: I’ve been thinking about killing it!”

Ding!

[Do you believe Caitley’s words?]

It was then, Li Yi and JIaojiao each received a System Notification.

“No.” Jiaojiao was the first to make the selection.

“Yes!” Li Yi made his choice.

Ding!

[Do you believe Caitley’s words?]

The same System Notification jumped onto the screen…

“Just motherf*cking choose yes!” Li Yi became furious.

“Alright, you don’t have to cuss me.” Jiaojiao looked as if she had been wronged as she reselected her option.

The viciousness in Caitley’s eyes softened when they both chose to believe in her words. However, it did not do anything to respond to their answer. She remained standing there quietly like a wooden pillar.

Li Yi thought about it before adding, “Our teacher is Augustus. He sent us here in search of a bracelet.”

“Augustus!”

Caitley’s eyes suddenly burst into flames. It studied Li Yi with surprise and nodded.

“So I was not forgotten…”

Ding! Caitley’s name on top of her head turned green…

System Notification: [You’ve obtained Caitley’s trust. The Affinity between you and Caitley is now Friendly.]

It has become their ally!

“Perverted Wing, it only has 2 million HP left. If I fight it, it won’t fight back. A purple name boss. It must have some good stuff for us. What a pity!” Jiaojiao felt dejected.

Li Yi glared at her. “We’re here on a quest. You can kill it next time.”

Caitley continued, “Since you’re students of Augustus’, I won’t hide the truth from you. Behind this door is the Wicked Flaming Dragon’s lair.

“A thousand years ago, Augustus, Emperor Lan and I had wounded Wicked Flaming Dragon heavily. Later on, this beast had used the power of Fire Dragon Sword to revamp Wailing Grotto and constructed three magical gates to prevent anyone from getting close.”

Caitley was babbling non-stop. She recounted the whole story from the beginning until the end.

The battle a thousand years ago has actually left Wicked Flaming Dragon wounded, and the wound has not yet recovered. That was why it dared not make an appearance all these years. It has been hiding in its lair to recuperate.

Although Caitley did not have a physical body anymore, its awareness still remained. It had been wanting to kill Wicked Flaming Dragon ever since it took over the body of Flaming Skeleton. Alas, a thousand years have passed, but it only managed to break down two magical gates. It has yet to encounter Wicked Flaming Dragon.

“Augustus truly has a heart of gold. I’ve misjudged him.” Caitley sighed as it fondled with the shiny bracelet on its skeletal arm. It shook its head. “I can’t hand over the bracelet to you now as my soul’s in it. If I give it to you, I’ll lose control over my current body.

“Disciples of Augustus, if you really want the bracelet, then help me do this one thing.”

Ding!

“Accept!”

“Accept!”

The incident last time did not reoccur. Before the System Notification could even make its way onto the screen, Li Yi and Jiaojiao had already selected to accept.

“Kill Wicked Flaming Dragon.”

[Quest name: Death of Wicked Flaming Dragon]

[Quest requirement: Kill Wicked Flaming Dragon, the final boss of Flaming Dragon Lair]

[Quest reward: Caitley’s beloved bracelet, 9 million EXP, 10 Skill Points, 1 Hall of Fame achievement.]

[Quest difficulty: S class!]

“Holy shit, an S-class quest!” Jiaojiao was shrieking with excitement.

Li Yi snapped, “We already had a hard time completing an A-class quest. Do you really think we’ll be able to complete an S-class quest? That’s the highest grade!”

Jiaojiao was so pumped about this quest. “We can take our time. What are you afraid of? If we can’t complete it today, there’s still tomorrow. If tomorrow’s no good, there’s still the day after!”

“My responsibility will come to an end with Wicked Flaming Dragon’s death. I’ll hand you the bracelet then.”

Caitley sat on the ground, recovering all of the HP it had lost at a rapid pace.

Li Yi took out Flame Dragon Key and walked towards the scarlet door.

Creak—

The ancient magical gate opened easily. Flame Dragon Key then vanished…

This… This!” Caitley was completely baffled by the scene unfolding before it. It could not believe its eyes.

“Roar—Roar—”

Two angry howls were heard coming from inside of Flaming Dragon Lair. Wicked Flaming Dragon was enraged that its magical gate had been broken through.

“Wicked Flaming Dragon is powerful. Disciples of Augustus, if you truly want to kill it, help me seek materials to build a magic formation. I’ll seal part of its powers and only then, you’ll have a chance to succeed…”

Ding!

Caitley distributed another quest to seek materials in building a magic formation.

However, this was an easier quest because Li Yi actually had every single thing Caitley needed!

Truth be told, if Li Yi did not explore the two lava maps ahead of time, then he would be running around like a headless chicken now. He would not be able to open the magical gate without Flame Dragon Key nor weaken Wicked Flaming Dragon without sufficient materials…

Li Yi had looted all the treasure chests on the two Lava maps except for Autumn Love’s treasure chest.

A ring of golden light shimmered around Li Yi and Jiaojiao as they completed the magic formation materials quest. Both of them were upgraded by one level.

Li Yi has surpassed the Lonely Semi City level. He was once again Second to None in the ranking board of Invincible Continent.

Farming monsters was a steady way to level up, and completing a quest would gain one explosive progress on levelling up. This was the main difference between leveling up through completing quests and farming monsters.

“Thank you.”

Caitley nodded at Li Yi and Jiaojiao with gratitude. It began to build a magic formation.

Its recovery of HP was a fast one. It only needed to sit for a while before its HP filled up all the way.

Jiaojiao asked in a straightforward manner, “What recovery potion did you use? That was fast.”

Caitley drew on the ground with its staff as it responded, “It’s called Transcendence Regen Skill. I’ve spent a thousand years crafting it. Do you want to learn? I can teach you.”

“Yes!” Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up.

“Me too!” Li Yi was quick to join in.

Caitley nodded. It began its teaching while carving a formation.

System Notification: [You’ve learned Windrunner Caitley’s Transcendence Regen Skill!]

Ding! Ding!

After a brief cheerful tune, Li Yi and Jiaojiao both had mastered the skill.

[Transcendence Regen Skill: Level 60 learning condition. This skill is not limited to any class and can be used in non-battle mode. Recovers an additional 1% HP and mana every second. Recovery effect doubles at an increase of every 10 levels.]

The recovery effect would double up at every 10 levels starting from Level 50. Li Yi was currently at Level 80, so he could recover an additional 3% HP and mana.

This was simply out of this world. It was faster than recovering by eating bread or drinking water. This skill would be a great boost in their endurance, especially so for Li Yi. Think about it: they could break away from the battle and sit on the ground enjoying bread and water while additionally enjoy the recovery effect. It probably would only need around ten seconds for their HP to recover completely.

Asking questions seemed to bring some advantages once in a while.

Li Yi lamented as he fixated his gaze on Jiaojiao.

Caitley struggled as it engraved formations on the ground. There was a pentagram formation, hexagram formation, and other weird formations. The formation lit up each time it finished its carving. The howls from Flaming Dragon Lair grew more vicious as more and more formations were drawn and lit up as a result.

“I’m done!”

After a long while, Caitley let out a sigh of relief. Twenty over formations lent radiance to each other. Bouts of magical aura began surging into Flaming Dragon Lair continuously.

“Disciples of Augustus, thank you for your help but slaying a dragon is a risky affair. Leave this job to me,”

Caitley pointed its staff at Li Yi and Jiaojiao. Two Wind Ropes shot out and encircled their bodies.

“Wind Shackles!”

Their movements were completely restrained…

“Wicked Flaming Dragon, it’s judgment day!”

Caitley shouted before dashing into Flaming Dragon Lair.

“Dark Devour!”

“Dark Absorption!”

Li Yi and Jiaojiao both broke free from Wind Shackles simultaneously. They exchanged a glance before running into the lair.

Caitley was already locked in a heated battle with Wicked Flaming Dragon inside the Wicked Flaming Dragon Lair.

Wicked Flaming Dragon looked exactly the same as it was thousand years ago, but the HP bar on its head had revealed its current state.

[97657665/300000000]

After all this time, Wicked Flaming Dragon had only managed to recover 7 million HP. Something had been written beside its HP all thanks to the magic formations outside.

Weakened!

“Flaming Blast!”

Caitley’s first move was its most powerful spell, Flaming Blast.

A gigantic dragon engulfed flames appeared and slammed into Wicked Flaming Dragon.

[-2342223]

Wicked Flaming Dragon was enraged. Scorching flames shot out of its opened mouth. The entire lair was swallowed up by furious flames in the blink of an eye…
