Finally, only one minute was left before the thirty-seven minutes deadline.
Athan was moving rapidly while observing everything.
Fifty Seconds
Forty Seconds
"I wonder how many golden orbs those two collected?" Athan muttered while moving quickly and observing everything in his path.
Thirty seconds
Twenty seconds
Ten seconds
Five seconds
Suddenly, Athan observed a golden orb embedded in a boulder.
He dashed towards it and released a beam to blast the boulder to take out the orb, but a square earth prison shot out from the ground before he could pick up the orb, and the prison contracted quickly to seal him.
Athan was expecting something, so he was ready with his large area attacked and released a giant cannon beam by combing both palms in his Arcane Lord void frame before he was sealed tightly.
*BOOOOM...*
He jumped forward after blasting to grab the orb, but when he was just one centimeter away from touching the orb, it vanished into thin air.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Tsk...," Athan clicked his tongue in annoyance before he flew up and moved backed to the place at the treasure chest monster.
Taezin and Pixilote met with Athan on the way.
Taezin looked into the basket and counted, "Master, we only gathered five golden orbs total, sad."
"I believe we are still ahead in numbers of golden orbs compared to the other two," Pixilote said with a smile.
After half a minute, Athan, Komin, and Lienia gathered at the place where the treasure chest monster was sleeping.
"Yey, we have found more orbs than them as I said," Pixilote cheered with a happy smile.
Komin and Lienia had found three orbs eachs.
Lienia walked towards Pixilote and patted her head with a smile, "we don't have helpers like you two cuties. Otherwise, we could also find more golden orbs."
"How do we get the treasures from these golden orbs?" Athan asked with a frown, "for now, they are useless since we can't take out treasures from within."
"That Myrcrint creature will do that," Komin said as he pointed at the sleeping treasure chest monster.
"But before that, we have to decide how many treasures we are going to unlock," Komin said with a wry smile, "I knew some rules regarding this after I was eaten by that monster. The more golden orbs we unlock, the more difficult it will be for us to leave this place."
"What do you mean?" Lienia asked with a frown.
"Do you see any exit in this place?" Komin asked, "the hole that formed in the sky disappeared right after he arrived here as well."
"So? How do we leave?" Athan asked as he creased his eyebrows.
"There," Komin pointed at the scenery behind the treasure chest monster, where they went to find those golden orbs.
"We will have to move in that direction until we encounter a large gate with a black whirlpool. To return back to the Underwater Gahen region, we will have to enter that black whirlpool gate," Komin said wryly before his expression turned somber.
"But difficult lies on the way," said Komin as he continued with a somber expression, "the more golden orbs we unlock, the more dangers there will be on the way that we can't avoid. Powerful beasts, wild attacks, and such will be thrown at us randomly."
"Unlock all golden orbs," Athan said indifferently, "whatever difficulty there is, we will break through it. We are essentially five Supremacy-plane beings, don't forget Taezin and Pixilote."
"Oo...Ooo, that's right," Taezin jumped on his nimbus cloud before speaking proudly, "nothing can block our way. Even if heaven blocks my way, I will shatter it."
"Alright, let's unlock all treasures first and then distribute them," Komin said, "watch me as I unlock the three goldens orbs I have. After that, you two can do it."
Komin moved towards the treasure chest monster with three orbs. After that, he picked up one golden orb and let it touch the monster, causing it to wake up.
Intense pressure was released from the monster, causing everyone's body to tremble involuntarily. Athan's body started to break, but Taezin hurridly produced a barrier.
"Thanks," Athan smiled as he patted Taezin. He could endure that much and didn't want to waste his Abyssal Void essence, so he didn't use his Sanctuary of Void.
On the other hand, when the monster woke up and opened its mouth, Komin put all three orbs inside its mouth.
*shuaa...shuaa...shuaa...*

After two seconds, the treasure chest monster produces three treasures.
A majestic ten meters big hammer with exquisite golden-brown patterns with a red hue.
A strange mango-shaped fruit with dark-silver patterns.
And finally, a light blue tea kettle with dark blue patterns.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThose three treasures floated in front of Komin, and he controlled them with his energy as he brought them back towards Athan and Lienia.
"I'll go next," Athan said as he moved towards the treasure chest monster with the basket and put all five orbs into its mouth.
*shuaa...shuaa...shuaa...shuaa...shuaa...*
A mysterious icy sword with a dark navy blue pattern.
A white-blue flower.
A dark red ginseng with red sparks floated around it.
A tri-colored crystal bow with cyan, brown, and golden patterns.
And finally, a mystical rotating dark pink lotus.
Afterward, Lienia did the same and got three treasures.
*Crackle....*
Right after that, the bright skies started to darken, and dark clouds gathered as black, red, and blue flashes of lightning crackled amidst the clouds.
"Alright, we are officially in a deep shit," Komin said with a wry smile, " as for the treasure distribution, I'll make it fair and straightforward. You both give me one treasure while you keep the rest."
"I am fine with it," Athan said with a smile.
"Tchh...so I am the only one with two treasures?" Lienia said with annoyance, "Komin, I'll get one treasure from you on the way; just watch."
Komin wryly smiled, "my mother, don't think of anything funny. This is going to be very dangerous so move with your full power and full caution."
"Humph, then give me that tea kettle treasure," Lienia said with a snort.
Komin looked at Athan, but Athan just shrugged his shoulder, "I don't care what you do with your treasures."
Komin nodded thankfully to Athan before he threw the tea kettle to Lienia.
"Hehe, good. Now let's go," Lienia said with a grin.
