Chapter 206 ? Don’t Touch Anything


Two days later, Gael and three of the Champion Bodyguards under his command headed toward the Arena, where he would preside over the duels on that day.

Vassago and Poca, who were paying close attention to the City Lord's movements, watched him from the rooftop of the houses, making sure that he wouldn't deviate from his destination.

Only after seeing the City Lord finally enter the Dueling Arena did they fly away, moving toward a narrow alley where Thirteen, Arthas, and Netero were waiting for them.

Vassago made a chirping sound, informing Thirteen that their target had finally arrived at the Arena.

Thirteen chirped back, thanking the two Pocopocos, and ordered them to continue their surveillance.

A second later, the seven-year-old ordered Tiona to call out to Rocky, who was hiding in the ground beneath their feet.

The moment Tiona gave the order, the head of the Rocky Bal-boa poked out of the ground and swallowed the seven-year-old whole.

Arthas and Netero didn't make any moves and allowed themselves to be swallowed by Rocky as well.

This wasn't the first time that they had been devoured by the Rocky Bal-Boa. In order to assure them that everything was under his control, Thirteen demonstrated Rocky's ability, which surprised the two Champions.

At the time, they even thought that all Rocky Bal-Boas had this ability. Knowing their thoughts, Thirteen told them that this wasn't the case, and Rocky was only able to do this because he was a mutant variant of his species.

Although Arthas and Netero were doubting whether the child was telling the truth or not, they had no choice but to trust the boy, who was waiting for them inside the dimension inside Rocky's stomach.

"I still can't believe that something like this exists," Netero sighed. "Hey, can you sell me Rocky? I promise to give you a good prize for him."

"He's not for sale, Lord Netero," Thirteen replied in a heartbeat. "We've already talked about this before. No matter how many times you ask me, the answer will remain the same."

"Fine, fine. I'll give up... for now."

"Tsk!"

Somewhere inside the Mountain...

Rocky swam under the ground like fish in the water.

His destination was none other than the spacious cavern which he and Tiona had discovered during their scouting mission.

After making sure that no one was inside the cavern, the Rocky Bal-Boa emerged from the ground and spat out the three people inside his body.

The three immediately glanced around their surroundings and were amazed by what they were seeing.

"I didn't think that Gael had this side to him," Netero said before whistling. "Who would have thought that this place would be filled with treasures."

There were countless weapons, sets of armor, and artifacts, as well as other rare items, neatly arranged within the cavern.

Judging by how everything was set up, Thirteen confirmed that they were dealing with a man with a good head on his shoulders.

"Remember what I said earlier, okay?" Thirteen stated. "Don't touch anything."

The seven-year-old then pointed to what seemed to be a lavishly designed table with a round mirror perched on top of it.

Several miscellaneous artifacts had been placed on top of the table, which Thirteen believed to be the power source that allowed Arundel to communicate with Gael over long distances.

Arthas, who was eyeing the table as well, suddenly saw something lying near the round mirror, prompting him to move toward its location.

Thirteen hurriedly followed behind the Barbarian to ensure that he wouldn't really snatch the amulet, which he believed to have been tampered with by Gael, to warn the City Lord if someone were to touch or steal it.

"There's no doubt about it," Arthas said softly as he took out the other half of the amulet that hung on his neck. "It is the other half of my amulet."

At that exact moment, both pieces of the amulet glowed faintly, making Thirteen frown.

The next second, the other artifacts on top of the table shone as well, giving the seven-year-old a very bad feeling in his gut.
