Chapter 14

The Third Raikage, with swollen veins on his face, screams furiously, "Damn you!"

Flashback Begins:

On the way to fight the Raikage, as Sinbad jumps from one tree branch to another, his instincts scream at him that something bad is going to happen.

Aki: "What's wrong, Captain?"

Sinbad: "I have a bad feeling this time, as if there's a trick from the Raikage this time."

Sinbad looks at his system points and decides to buy a Baal ticket, then talks to himself, "This is for escape if something unexpected happens."

He then looks at Aki and his companions, "Listen to me, I will deplete the Raikage's chakra so you can escape if something bad happens. You must listen to my orders and run away because I have my own way of escaping and you will be an obstacle. Understand?"

Everyone: "Yes."

Flashback Ends...

Sinbad stands in the middle of a forest with trees so huge they touch the clouds, utterly exhausted to the point that he can barely catch his breath. He then looks at his coins.

System Coins: 25000

He then browses the store:

40. Food box made by a chef from a fourteen-star Michelin restaurant (700 system coins)....Medium-level health recovery potion (1500 system coins).Medium-level energy recovery potion (1500 system coins).Medium-level endurance recovery potion (1500 system coins).

Sinbad buys a medium health potion, a medium energy potion, and a medium endurance recovery potion, and then begins drinking each one. He notices his fatigue disappearing and his chakra reserves and health returning again.

Suddenly, he is attacked by the sound of his hungry stomach.

Sinbad, placing his hand on his stomach and looking at it: "Alright, little one, don't worry, I'll satisfy you now."

A red food box with fourteen gold stars on top appears in his hand, with golden writing on it: "Cooking is about emotion, so it may look a bit emotional in a way that makes it as excessive as possible to the naked eye."

Sinbad swallows his saliva, opens the food box, and is hit with a mouth-watering aroma and a golden light that makes him cover his eyes with his hand.

Sinbad, after a while: "Isn't this the Beef Wellington?"

Half an hour later, Sinbad finishes his meal, walking in the forest with his hand on his full stomach: "I won't settle for anything less than this food again."

He then looks at the massive tower and begins walking towards it. On his way, he encounters new kinds of animals, like deer with wings and snakes with many winged arms.

After a while, he reaches the tower entrance and finds two gorillas that look ordinary at first but, upon closer inspection, have scales and huge claws.

Sinbad approaches them, and they both roar at him. He smiles and releases his Conqueror's Haki on them, "---", but they are unaffected. He smiles weakly, sweat dripping from his forehead, "Can you both pretend I wasn't here?"

Both of them charge at him, and Sinbad tries to slice them into pieces with his chakra-coated sword, but the scales block his strikes.

Sinbad, thinking: "I want to conserve my chakra and endurance for what's coming, so it seems I'll have to coat my sword with my Haki and strike them from the inside since the outside isn't working."

Sinbad withdraws his chakra from the sword and replaces it with Conqueror's Haki. After a while, Sinbad stands above their corpses.

Sinbad, looking at his level: "I leveled up 5 levels just from you two." Then he smiles broadly, "I will sweep through this tower before getting Baal."

Inside the tower, Sinbad's journey turns into a one-sided massacre as he slaughters all the monsters inside, from the giant water-spewing snakes in the rainforest-like area to the gorilla tribe standing at the gate. This battle was intense, but fortunately, he had primal instincts that helped him evade the gorillas' attacks. He now stands before a huge dragon with silver scales, looking at Sinbad with amber-colored eyes.

The dragon opens its mouth, tilting its head back to light its throat in red, signaling its readiness to attack with its flames.

Sinbad: "I've been conserving my energy all this time." He then coats his Damascus sword with his chakra as a shield, changing the sword's properties to fire chakra and merging the Yang attribute, causing the flames to turn white.

Sinbad charges at the dragon, which also attacks with its flames. Sinbad manages to cut through them, covering himself with water chakra to mitigate the heat. Upon reaching the dragon, Sinbad makes an opening in its scales, thrusts his sword into the dragon's flesh, and starts pumping white flames into its body. The dragon screams in agony, and after several minutes, its upper body begins to swell like a balloon and then explodes.

Sinbad looks at his status, smiling broadly:

Sinbad, laughing like a madman: "Muhahahahaha! Look who came back stronger than before. Fear my intelligence, you fools."

Then he looks at the entrance to Baal's chamber.
