The Deadly Path - Part 3

Jay realised that he had been given a mission that was completely life threatening for him.

"Dammit... what's with this? It's as if the system is taunting me by showing difficulty levels... and this one is 'S'!!"

The sub-Mission yhat he has received just now after getting the skill was too difficult for him. It would be almost impossible for him to complete this mission since he would have been burned to death the moment he even goes near to the lava.

"And why should I kill a Fire Golem King? That too 2?"

He despised this mission. If he were to go do this he would be certainly dead and if he ignored this he would be dead as soon as the time finishes.

"Well, maybe I can do this with the help of Heat Conversion..."

It was true that the S-Rank skill the Heat Conversion would allow him to convert the excess heat of lava to mana or other stats and that way he could be safe from the heat.

But the problem was the time of usage. It could be used for not more than 45 seconds and after that comes the cool down count which was around 16 hours!

It was quite troublesome now. A typical cliffhanger for him.

"What to do? How to do?"

Even with such intelligence he wasn't able to get the answer as to how to enter the magma and kill the Kings and also retrieve the hidden message that would have been buried deep inside.

"Oh man, I don't even have much time! Need to complete this as soon as possible..."

He somehow managaef to clam down for a brief moment.

"So I need to activate the Heat Conversion, that way for at least 45 seconds I can manage..."

He shouted with the top of his voice, "Heat Conversion, activate!"

'DING DONG'

[WARNING]

The skill [HEAT CONVERSION] is an [S-RANK] skill. The host's body isn't ready to use the skill, may cause irreplaceable damage.

Select YES to confirm using the skill.

YES/NO

__________

"Irreplaceable damage?"

"..."

Jay paused for a minute. He wondered what could have been the irreplaceable damage the system talked a about. But right now a little damage was nothing more than an appetiser to him since his own life was at risk.

"Uhhhh!!! I don't care!"

He immediately selected YES and as soon as he did suddenly a weird white smoke started coming out of his body.

'DING DONG'

__________

Excess amount of heat is being converted to mana.

Time left - 00:00:43 [43 seconds]

__________

"Oh no! I need to hurry!"

He immediately dived into the magma that was boiling hot while believing in the skill.

And as soon as he did a message popped up that suddenly made him happy and thrilled.

He sighed, "Thank God, it looks like the Lady Lucj hasn't left my side..."

He did this because of the weird message that appeared.

'DING DONG'
