Timothy finally mao get a good look at the hand-sized taihat he brought up with him, and noticed that there was a ring in it. The tainer was made out of some sort of light-blue crystal, and the crystal was very clear, so he could see through it no problem.

  “So this is what Saranax protected for three-hundred fug years? I was expeg to find the entrao a world of dinosaurs or some shit, this ring 't even buy me a house if I tried to sell it.” Tim ranted, he really liked dinosaurs.

  Anyway, despite how cleverly he had retrieved this ring out of a literal, hot pool of va, he still wasn’t the smartest man in the world. For example, he kept talking about dinosaurs, and pletely ighe possibility that this ring bore some kind of power! He didn’t think of this until a whole mier, after he got himself on some dry grounds.

  “Shit, this ring could let me summons or something! It summoned Saranax, and maybe it did that on purpose?” He asked himself, but despite hotivating that train of thought was, he had tet about the ring for now, as he had to get out of here first.

  Although he wasn’t affected himself, Tim's friends were breathing in micro doses of volic fumes right now, and that was beyond dangerous, so he couldn’t have them flying above his head for long, getting them out of here was his priority. This might as well be his priority, because he couldn’t crack open the ring’s tainer even if he stopped, and tried.

  Tim’s friends were excited when they finally saw him swimming out of the va, they were happy, but ultimately, they couldn't fly him out of here! Ortana couldn't get the dragons down here, because she couldn’t run three force fields at a time, at least, not without absolutely destroying thousands of quantities of her accumuted mana! He couldn’t ask that of her, and he couldn’t risk them falling into the va either, so he had to e up with a pn of his own to get out of here.

  “God damn it, this pce looks a lot deeper when you're at the bottom. I didn't think I'd have to climb to get out of here.” Again, what he said was very stupid, but the course of adrenalihat had run through his veins earlier on, only provided pns sound enough to keep him alive during the most critical parts of his tasks. Adrenaline didn’t promise staircases.

  In other words, he didn’t nearly think everything through, and this was arming, but he didn’t feel threatened even for a single sed. If he could swim in va, he could just as easily get out of a ditch!

  “Okay… climbing out of here isn't an option.” He muttered, as he looked at the walls.

  Afterwards, he thought of a little idea that might work out for him. He summohe Bone Multiplier ability, as he wao find a bunch of old animal boo use.

  Now it was very uo find bones in this severely hot ditch, but he wao try anyway. In order to max out the bone-searg capabilities of this power, he stretched his hand out, and allowed strong volumes of this dark, cloudy mist to pour out of his hand! This intensified the ability he was using, because he was direg a great portion of his mana towards his hand.

  Timothy had low hopes about this pn w, but he was mistaken, as about twenty seds ter, the mist found something! It found some bones deep below the va pool.

  “Oh, this is gonna be expensive…” He sighed, “But what choice do I have?”

  Choices were limited within a va poardless of the circumstances, so he worked tightly with what he had. Tim ked the Bone Multiplier ability to the max, which cost him a solid two-hundred mana points per sed to maintain, but he was hoping to make progress soon, so he kept going, he kept p all that mana towards that bone!

  “I just need a couple of boo fly out of here,” He mumbled.

  A moment ter, he noticed a small wave in the pool of va. This wave was very minimal, but it still hihat there was something going on below it, and that hint arently very informative, because a bone of sorts popped out of the va right after!

  “Holy shit! That's not a bohat's a fug fossil!” He excimed, and he was quite happy, because a fossil would do him good as well.

  Tim had pulled a crystalized skull out of the va, and although the skull wasn't big, it was a skull heless, so he started putting work into it. Using his unique ability, he split the skull into ten pieces, and then had those pieces multiply into hundreds!

  Afterwards, he brought all the pieces together, and merged them, in a very physical sense. He turhem into a single, four-foot long bony, surfboard, a fossilized board sure but useful heless, because he could have the board float around with the same, Bone Multiplier ability. It floated with his say-so.

  Tim hopped onto the board, and joked. “Pre-neantic…? This power is straight up demoni my hands, it has to he demonic if I eventually bee strong enough to turn my enemies into fug surfboards!”

  There was no greater way to show how useful this ability was, he was simply overpowered with the Bone Multiplier to his possession! He felt immortal for a sed, but then he remembered that Ortana was the one who was keeping him alive, so he decided to be a bit more humble. Teamwork made the dream work, after all.

  Anyway, after he climbed on top of the floating board, he then couldn't resist this great, impulsive urge to go va surfing, so he did exactly that! He surfed across the va, and didn't worry about burning his feet, because he rotected.

  When the surfboard started melting, however, he stopped surfing, and immediately floated towards the only good exit that the cavern had. He floated towards the rest of his friends, and Ortana followed after him!

  The bones had melted into his bat boots at the end, so he had to dissolve the melted bones quickly, and then he had to make a jump for it. He ended up nding on Geie the dragon, which was less fortable than he would imagine, because Geie in this case was like a brick wall, Tim felt his brain shake! He didn't stick the nding, unfortunately, but he did make it out alive, and that was what mattered the most.

  [gratutions, you just spent 3,000 mana points.] The system remarked, sarcastically.
