Chapter 72 - Ch 70: A New Ally
" Wait Rena, Don't run by yourself!"
Ray seeing Rena, didn't take his words to her mind, ran at full speed in her direction, and tried to catch up with her.
After his strength enhancement, Ray's body strength was now 1.6 times stronger than a normal human. Thus it didn't take long for him to eventually catch up with Rena.
" Rena, what are you.."
Ray was about to finish his sentence, still, seeing how focused Rena was, he knew it would be pointless.
He chose to keep silent and follow Rena quietly from behind.
5 minutes later, the two reached a small pond, where Rena finally stopped and back to her normal self.
" Ray, over there. I feel a strong flame aura here."
Even though Rena was really excited, Ray still chose to maintain his calm and be careful.
This place was too calm; there shouldn't be anything wrong with this place, right? Ray narrowed his eyes in suspicion.
Ray instinctively threw a stone to the ground ahead of him. He was getting a horrible premonition.
Sure enough, just as the stone hit the ground ahead of them, the ground suddenly exploded upwards.
Kaboom~!!!
The ground blew up, and a sea of fire was dancing in front of them.
" This is a bit too much, isn't it?"
Ray and Rena watched the scene before them in amazement. They were only one step away from getting into the explosion.
With the flame blazing brightly in front of them, Ray and Rena had no other option but to wait until the flame subsided for a bit.
But contrary to their expectation. Just when the flame was about to subside, another bomb followed up and making a chain reaction.
Kaboom~!!! Kaboom~!!! Kaboom~!!!
The explosion this time was thrice as strong as before. Luckily Xiansheng's Geo pillar was there to protect them from the explosion.
' The hell, why do I couldn't help but imagine a psycho wizard with an eypatch that always screams ekusupurosion every time?'
Looking at the explosion in front of them, they know that continued going forward was useless, the flame was too strong, and it would only harm them.
Ray and Rena turned back from the sea of flame and were ready to take another path, but it seems fate didn't say so.
Schwarz noticed a small spirit beast movement near them when they were about to leave and quickly blinked at it.
"Meow"
With Schwarz's speed and current strength, she quickly took down the unknown spirit beast and brought it to Ray.
" Hmm, this."
Ray looked at the spirit beast brought by Schwarz and used the system information to observed it.
.

.
Now that Ray thought about it, didn't they came here because Rena felt a strong aur of flame around this place. Did the one she felt was this spirit beast?
" Rena, is it the one?"
" It's so cute!!!"
Rena ignored Ray's question and caught the spirit beast in her hug. This Rabibomb spirit beast appearance was really lethal to girls.
She had a round fury body with 2 big ears. Her body was decorated with red patterns, and it really resembles a doll.
" Ray, can I establish a contract with her, please?"
Looking at Rena begging him with such a pitiful look, Ray obviously agreed. This girl would sacrifice herself for him, so he would try his best to fulfill her wish. Furthermore, they also have seen what this Rabibomb was capable of, and to be honest, her explosion was really terrifying.
Ray took the last spirit beast pact from the system and gave it to Rena.
Maybe it was because of the blessing from Rena's sleeping bloodline, but the contract proceeds smoothly without any noticeable disruption.
[ DING!!! Rabibomb has joined your party.]
" Hmm, since you have established a contract with me, then we need to give you a nickname. How about... Alice?"
The Rabibomb looked pretty happy with the name Rena had given to her. She wiggled her ear joyfully before jumping out from Rena's embrace.
[ DING!!! The blessing of ancestral phoenix has been activated, a surge of pure flame elemental energy entered the spirit beast Rabibomb.]
Along with the notification, the temperature instantly raised a lot, and countless flame particles gathered around Alice.
[ DING!!! The blessing of ancestral phoenix has raised the Rabibomb bloodline to a new level, initiating the process of evolution.]
' Eh... Nani? Didn't I spend so much effort to evolve Schwarz last time. Why does this little lass evolve so easily?
[ DING!!! The evolution process begins.]
Bright lights started to envelop Alice's body, and the group could feel a tremendous aura surging from it.
.
[ Rabimbomb spirivolve to Inferno Rabibomb.]
[ Spirit beast Inferno Rabibomb (Alice) ]
[ A type of spirit beast that really loves explosion. Myth has said that they could explode an entire continent]

.
The newly evolved Alice's appearance didn't change much. The only noticeable difference was now there is a red flame aura surrounding her.
' She looks like a 5-star gacha character that just ascended to 6-star. No noticeable appearance and only gain an aura surrounding her. *Sigh* The writer of this game is really lazy.'
Of course, Ray didn't utter his thought in front of the others. Even though the appearance change wasn't much, he could feel the noticeable difference in their combat power.
Now their team has a new member that specialized in burst damage. Ray and co were ready to challenge the next trial ground.
But things weren't as simple as that.
[ DING!!! The main protagonist (Skye) has completed the trial of stone and was heading to the trial of silver.]
[ Please be careful and don't lose track of your goal, if not, only punishment will await you.]
