Chapter 10

The top of the mountain was now charred black, sizzling sound can be heard coming from the half melted rocks all over the place.

In but an instant the beautiful place was destroyed by the guardian Beat Of Fire.

The only thing left in tact was the nest of the phoenix which is made out of [Magma Oak] a special tree which grows near volcanos and is highly resistant to fire.

Without using this type of material, the Phoenix's egg would have long ago made a hole in the mountain due to the continuos heat it released.

Suddenly the nest shaked a little as a bony hand came out from a small hole underneath by the nest made of [Magma Oak].

The skeleton hand turned right and left as if trying to asses the situation before it suddenly went back down.

The ground beside the nest parted as a half burned face pop out.

*Grgrrg*

Unfortunately Jayden wasn't able to speak properly as his vocal cords were burn to a crisp.

Using his skeleton hand, Jayden somehow pulled himself out of the ground.

His current apearence looked miserable to say the least.

He was literally a half skeleton now.

Most of the right side of his body including his right leg and arm were all bones, the lower half of his face was gone as well.

And this was the result with his 50% fire immunity....

Luckily Jayden remembered the crazy strategy a player came up with, which was to hide underneath the nest of the phoenix when it attacks as the nest is heat resistant.

Unfortunately the Phoenix arrived before he could hide himself, that is why he ended up like this.....

With his one working eye, Jayden stared at the remaining time.

[10:02:10]

He used up a large amount of his time while climbing the mountain.

And having watched several mountain climbing videos in his previous life, Jayden knew that climbing back down is harder than climbing up.

At this rate he wouldn't make it back to the cave in time...

Jayden scratched his head with his bony hand to think of a solution.

Jayden's gaze unknowingly landed on his bony hand without a hint of muscle on it.

He wondered how he was even able to move it without skin or muscle.....

Silently staring at his bony hand a crazy idea hit Jayden.

He slowly turned his head towards the rough direction of the cave.

Somehow, using his bony leg to walk, Jayden arrived at the edge of the cliff.

Then he looked down.....

It was quite far....

He picked up a nearby rock and threw it.

1..2...3...9..

*Clank*

It took the rock 9 seconds to reach the ground.

And from the sound, he could conclude that the rock was definitely broken into tiny little pieces.

Raising his head, Jayden looked at the night sky.

What would happen is that rock was a skeleton?

*Grrgrgrrg*

A small piece of flesh flew out of his jaws.....

Staring at the piece of flesh beside his leg Jayden closed his mouth....

And took a step forward.....

Leap of faith.

1...2...3.....5

*Crash*

A zombie crashed into an evergreen tree breaking it's branches before harshly landing on the ground with a thud.

Throughout the entire process Jayden's mind felt exceedingly clear, he didn't even faint or more like he couldn't as his ability to sense pain itself was gone.

Just as he was about to land on the tree, Jayden spread out his hands to grab onto a branch, unfortunately the speed of his fall was too fast and hia strength too low that either the branch broke or he couldn't grab it.

But still those several attampts helped him slow down his fall by a significant margin that's why his bones didn't break apart when he landed.

Though he did ended up loosing something important to him.....

Jayden slowly turned his head towards his empty left side.

His left arm was missing....

Raising his head he looked up.

It was still holding onto the tree branch tightly, not letting go...

Jayden gave it a salute with his left arm.

Now all he had left was this bony arm...

Jayden's body made cracking sounds as he pulled himself up, it seems like his vertebral was damaged as he couldn't stand straight anymore.

With half his body inclined forward, Jayden quickly made his way through the forest.

Even a zombie would be scared by his current apearence....
