Chapter 21: Cavern of Glassblaze Bears
Advancement Quest was simple.
One just had to kill 10 Silver-ranked monsters.
Almond, Lily, and Natalia left the Nest of Willowbee and arrived in the second large area of the Fairy Mountain, containing Silver-ranked from level 1 to 3.
It was a huge cavern inside the mountain, with four entrances available for people to go inside.
The trio entered inside through the southwest entrance of the Cavern.
Almond opened a map of the cavern. Such maps were available in the market, and he used those maps to create his own on the magic map parchment, like the Nest of Willowbee area.
Cavern of Glassblaze Bears (Silver Level 1 to 3)
—This shimmering cavern is home to the Glassblaze Bears, enormous, crystalline bears that breathe fire and have molten cores. The cavern walls are lined with crystalline formations that reflect light, creating a mesmerizing but dangerous landscape.
—Key Features: Jagged crystal walls and flickering lava pools.
—Monsters: Glassblaze Cubs, Glassblaze Brute Bears, Elder Glassblaze Bears.
"Here’s the map. We are near area number 25. If we walk just ten meters and turn north, we’ll likely see a group of Glassblaze Bears.
Lily nodded. "These Glassblaze Bears are both tough with their armored exteriors and powerful because of their lava and glass-based skills, but they are not as fast. This won’t be hard."
"Sword is a bad weapon against them, right?" Natalia turned to Almond, "If you use this sword to deflect their lavatic attacks, its durability will decrease even though it’s rare grade."
"I’ll just have to kill them by moving fast. One attack is enough," Almond’s eyes glinted as he took the lead, his sword ready to taste a new prey.
As the trio approached, Almond’s keen eyes scanned the field ahead. The bears shimmered under the reflection of the crystal-laden cavern walls. Eight in total—an Elder Glassblaze Bear stood in the middle, its fiery core pulsating with heat like a molten heart. Surrounding it, four massive Brute Bears paced slowly, their jagged crystal hides catching the ambient light, while three Glassblaze Cubs skittered around, small but still dangerous.
Almond glanced at Natalia and nodded, who used her clone skill to attract the bears first so that they would have an easier time initiating the attacks.
Seeing Natalia’s clone, the Bears roared. Elder Glassblaze Bear was the first one to attack. Opening its mouth, it released a glassy orb containing fiery lava that shot at Natalia’s clone and exploded, destroying it.
Ash and sparks covered a small area, a perfect smokescreen.
Almond and Lily both went out with Physical Enchantment activated.
"I’ll kill the Elder one," Almond said as he jumped in an arc, going straight toward the Elder Glassblaze Bear, his sword’s blade gleaming sharply.
*Swoosh!*
The bear swiped its paw as if it wasn’t bad even though Almond attacked suddenly, but alas, it wasn’t fast enough.
He would only be able to get stats from nine to twelve spirits at a maximum of these three types of Glassblaze Bears, so he wanted to do that first.

The trio had just finished eating and resting for ten minutes when they suddenly heard something and their faces fell.
"I swear if that bitch is here, I am going to capture her! Henry, you better act fast this time."
