Sirius once again charged in lightning fast speed towards Captain Baha and successfully struck him.
[Your Soulbound Sirius has dealt 233, 247 damage to Captain Baha of the Undead Crew Navis.]
Captain Baha lost the light on its eyes. Its clothes and bones became ashen in color and the wind blew the ashes. Captain Baha only dropped a blue colored jewel, the sword it uses and the crown fragment of the Undead King.
[Captain Baha of the Undead Crew Navis that was haunting Bluthafen has been eternally laid to rest.]
[You have gained 100% experience points due to accomplishment. Increased the experience points to 300% due to experience multiplier.]
[You have leveled up three times.]
[Your Soulbound Sirius leveled up three times.]
[Your Soulbound Kanlaon leveled up three times.]
[Your Soulbound Saena leveled up three times.]
The cannon balls that are fired towards Adrian disappeared as if it’s a mirage. The giant ship disappeared from their view and the mist cleared up. The sun shone upon the group and Adrian heaved a sigh of relief. If the cannon balls did not disappear then they would have been dead.
Adrian then picked up the items that Captain Baha dropped and asked Kanlaon to pick up all the other items dropped by the undead in his human form. Adrian then checked the items that he picked up.

The runestone was peculiar but it seemed useful. Adrian decided to socket it in his armor because it gives resistances which is very rare. If he can find the other fragments then it would increase his resistances more. The other gems would have be corresponding to other elements.
Kanlaon returned but all he had were silver coins and a piece of paper. It seems the undead really have no money to even drop. The piece of paper was actually a map but you needed a specific skill called Nautical Mapping. Adrian had no idea where to even get that skill but it should be possible for players who are seafarers.
He could sell the map in the player auction but he must know where the rumored player auction will be even held. He did think of selling the legendary skillbook he has for more than what it would fetch but he must find the merchant responsible for the auction.
Adrian then walked towards the spatial fragment and went to his next destination. He managed to get transported to a place with sweltering heat this time. He was in a rather tropical area which is unlike what you would expect where undead would be gathered.
Adrian bought a rare engraving stone from the auction and used it on his Asmodian Battle Uniform. He also looked at his stats. He also

Due to the passive of the runestone, Adrian could barely feel the heat and his stamina was not decresing rapidly.
“It is like summer in my country here.” Adrian commented.
The forums said that the undead here in Versengt are weird because they are on fire. Usually normal undead would be very weak to fire and would immediately perish but it seems not in this location. The weirdest thing was there was even floating skulls that were on fire.
Adrian really wanted to find the next fragment here because he only has two days left on his experience multiplier. Adrian wanted to reach close to level one hundred or at least reach the level one hundred threshold.
Adrian already cast Spirit Form Manifestation on Kanlaon as the latter did not want to walk in human form. It seems that Kanlaon did not felt that comfortable in his human form because he said that it dulled his senses.
Adrian did not mind because it was not an inconvenience for him. If Kanlaon also has dulled senses then it would be much more dangerous for them. Like in Bluthafen, the undead would only appear during the night so Adrian decided to hunt in the area.
Adrian went to a field zone and retrieved the crown fragment from his inventory. Even though the chance was slim, he wanted to try because what else would he lose. He held the crown fragment and it glistened for a bit.
Adrian thought that he was just seeing things but it glowed again for a brief moment. He then heard some chanting sounds. Adrian did feel that it was strange that there were no players or NPCs in the surrounding. His question was suddenly answered because he found himself inside an instance dungeon. His view changed instantly into a cave structure. It was as if the field zone was a lie.
[You have entered Santelmo’s Den.]
[The temperature will increase every second you are trapped inside his den.]
[Current Temperature: 25 Degree Celsius.]
“It seems this is a time attack instance dungeon. If I stay here for too long then I would die from the intense heat.” Adrian muttered.
Adrian hopped on Sirius and told Kanlaon to hold Saena as they would blitz though it. Adrian clasped the crown fragment in his hands and saw that it was shining. Adrian beckoned Sirius to go forth and Kanlaon followed.
Adrian gripped tightly while commanding Sirius to charge to the numerous tunnels. When they enter a room that has multiple cave structures, Adrian would choose the one where the fragment would shine even though faint.
[Current Temperature: 35 Degree Celsius.]
Adrian was wondering if there was even traps inside or even monsters to greet them but there was none. What Adrian did not know was that the traps were of fire in nature. Kanlaon was actually using his powers to control fire to cancel the traps that would spew fire at them.
Kanlaon did not also bother to tell his master because even he knows that it was urgent that they get out of the instance dungeon. Adrian managed to arrive in a large room with nothing inside but the crown fragment was actually shining brightly. Adrian did not know what to do because the temperature was still rising.
[Current Temperature: 49 Degree Celsius.]
Adrian, Sirius and Saena was losing 0.5% of their health per second but Saena was able to heal it immediately. The downside is their stamina was being drained greatly. About five minutes later when the temperature finally hit fifty degree Celsius, sparks of something like fireworks was seen.
Adrian sensed the great killing intent flood the room. He ordered all his Soulbounds to be ready for battle. True enough, the boss finally showed itself. The boss is a giant skull that is coated with intense orange and red flames. It even had two flames detached to it that looked like claws.
