Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer

A meteor streaked across the sky.

Trailing a long blue tail, it hurtled with great force towards Karuto, who was flying diagonally downward.

Karuto’s eyes widened, watching Alka pursuing him from behind, the intense pressure from that powerful force causing some flesh on his face to peel off with the wind.

A trace of fear appeared in his previously crazed eyes.

He threw away what he was holding in his hand with all his might, using the greatest strength of his life.

He had thrown out a Puppet Girl who had already lost a wing, the same one who had just thrown a bomb into his arms from outside.

When she was tightly gripped in his hand, even an arm and both legs were crushed.

She flew out like a sandbag in the sky.

Watching the Puppet Girl flying towards him, Alka’s meteor-like form suddenly halted.

Seeing this, a post-survival smile appeared on Karuto’s face as he realized he had made the right bet.

He was immensely grateful now that when he had come out just earlier, he had taken the time to catch the Puppet Girl who was right next to him.

The starlight effect wrapping his body disappeared, and a mirror appeared instantly in front of him.

Inside the mirror was a pink, foggy white world.

The brutally thrown, broken-bodied Puppet Girl was immediately tossed into the mirror.

Another mirror appeared above.

The Puppet Girl fell from above, but this time the power on her body had dissipated.

She fell at a uniform speed.

Held gently by Alka’s hands.

The moment she was caught, Alka immediately turned to look in the direction Karuto was escaping.

Just in time to see Karuto’s disheveled back disappearing into a hole in the air, surrounded by a mass of flesh and bone like a skeleton.

This suddenly appearing flesh and skeletal hole consumed Karuto and then vanished.

”Spineless mutt, not even daring to throw down some harsh words.”

If this guy had dared to stop and throw down a word or two, Alka was confident he could’ve kept him there.

But clearly, this guy didn’t waste even a single moment while escaping.

Looking at the now-empty air.

Alka glared fiercely.

”Run, is it really that easy to escape?”

Karuto had long been marked on the map, and if Alka were to open the map now.

The original red cross would definitely be replaced by a skull marked with a dagger.

The Star River of the Scepter cannot coexist with the other two Holy Grails at the same time.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed to retract the power of the Star River to use the power of the Mirror.

Moreover, he had to stop.

The immense power thrown by that damned coward at the time was too strong; if he had tried to take it head on, Alka would have been fine, but the Puppet Girl would certainly have been shattered into pieces under that immense power.

That’s not what Alka wanted.

Thinking helplessly, Alka held the completely broken, paralyzed, and unable to move Puppet Girl in his hands, chuckling as he looked at him.

”Oh, you can still manage to laugh.”

Saying this, Alka returned to the now almost ruined temporary camp.

As soon as he entered, he saw Juanlu and Narvi both wrapped in a faint gold membrane, as if frozen in time, turned into some kind of realistic statues.

Both were encased in the Stagnation Spell.

This was the spell that once saved Simon, allowing him to survive for 10 years.

The ground mirror once again rippled like water as Pororo, walking last, crawled out from the mirror.

Then the mirror, unable to bear the pressure of transporting so many people, shattered into fragments, disappearing into the air.

At this time, the two whose time had been halted lay on stretchers, with Matilda and Julia discussing the best way to heal them.

Always not very strong, Narvi’s chest had already collapsed inward.

While Juanlu looked exceptionally miserable, as the palms of his hands had exposed the white bones inside.

But in such circumstances, at least he was not in any life-threatening danger, and the reason for stopping his time was to perfectly preserve his hands, ensuring that no repercussions, however small, would manifest after healing.

Lucilia was taking out lots of food from the Pocket Ring, feeding the only remaining orb.

Those who knew Juanlu understood that as long as he ate enough, he could very well restore his physical strength, even heal the severe injuries on his body.

And at this moment, Juanlu’s time had stopped, so this orb became his other mouth.

”Did he get away?” Chadite looked at Alka, who returned alone and asked.

Alka nodded: ”Sorry, it was my mistake.”

Chadite shook his head, and the others said nothing.

Now was not the time for such discussions.

Alka casually found a place, putting the broken Puppet Girl in his hands on the ground, and started repairing her.

Simon was also in another part repairing other Puppet Girls.

Although the damage to those Puppet Girls wasn’t as severe as the one Alka held, Jiu San, it was still miserable enough.

This time, more parts had to be replaced.

The others who couldn’t offer much help went outside to keep guard for everyone.

After about an hour, Alka and Simon had repaired the severely damaged Puppet Girls.
