As the Apex Jaguar crashed onto the stone brick walls, Michael felt the crystallized Earth mana in the area destabilize for a second.

This is a chance, ChatJK3!

The defensive measures set by the person who created this tomb was disabled for a split second. The chamber shimmered imperceptibly for normal people who didn’t have an insane mana sensitivity. But for Michael, it was enough for him to peek through the curtain and partially see the mechanism hidden inside.

This was definitely enough time for his personal AI assistant to rush its analysis.

[Understood. Analyzing the mana composition of the tomb…]

[Progress: 60%]

[Progress: 74%]

[Progress: 89%]

[Progress: 99%]

Information washed over Michael, detailing the very structure of the tomb itself. He saw purpose in the crystallized Earth mana around the walls. It acted not just as a containment facility for the tomb, but also some sort of battery for the undead monsters living inside!

Beyond the wall of Earth mana, Michael saw complicated Dark mana pillars pointed directly downwards, slowly spilling out the sustenance needed by the undead creatures.

This gave him insight into the inner workings on what made undead creatures possible. He made a mental note to himself, memorizing the very structure of Dark mana in the Jaguars for the possibility of one day creating one for himself.

Of course, that wasn’t his goal at this moment.

The very reason why he wanted to analyze the crystalline Earth mana walls was because he knew that there was a hidden room within it that could lead him into the secrets of the tomb itself.

After all, the double doors that everyone thought led to the treasure room was nothing more than an empty space used by the undead Jaguars to hibernate.

Michael looked beyond the shadows and saw nothing but layers of the Earth’s crust, meaning that there was no treasure room beyond it.

This must mean that the treasure room was hidden somewhere else. And he had a feeling that the strange mana around in this chamber could lead him to find this very room for himself.

As Michael finished the analysis of the mysteries of the tomb, the Apex Jaguar was finally in its last legs.

Its eyes were still aching for a fight, but its body failed to keep up. The Dragonborns had successfully subdued the undead monster.

Its jaws finally dropped to the ground, courtesy of Zion’s space breaking punch. It could not even stand up as Sheina’s arrow hit its spine, crippling its very torso. It was only possible due to the sliver of Light mana embedded in the arrow, disabling the Dark mana that allowed it to move.

Its body was cut and destroyed due to Jaku and Umisu’s constant blows, battering it into the walls.

The Apex Jaguar looked at the Dragonborns for one last time, raising its head in defiance.

Then, it started to glow with a bluish-green light, necrotic energy filling the chamber in a mere second.

The four other Jaguars, injured and battered from the adventurers, stopped in the middle of the fight and stared at the glowing Apex Jaguar. Their red eyes slowly lost its light, before the very Dark mana composing their body started to dissipate and merge with their leader.

It only took a few seconds before their body was devoid of Dark mana, turning their undead bodies into mere ashes and bone that scattered in the wind.

The adventurers, still reeling from the Dragonborns’ amazing show of prowess, were caught off guard and just stared at the intensely glowing Apex Jaguar.

“What is that?! What’s happening?!”

The only person who knew this answer was Sir Jon, from the Order of the Heavenly Knights. His face was one of worry and panic, with his eyes showing that he recognized this increasing intensity of the bluish-green light.

“RETREAT!” he screamed at the top of his lungs. “IT’S A BOMB!”

The adventurers broke out in a panic, desperate to leave this chamber.

The Dragonborns were the only ones who didn’t worry. Their shadows morphed and formed into an Orc, who offered to transport them back in the Neo Orcus for safety. However, they refused, seeing as Michael was still busy inside.

Sir Jon and his Knights ran towards Michael, recognizing him from before.

“Young man! We have to run now!” he said.

But Michael shook his head. “It’s fine. I have it under control.

Before the Knight could even question Michael, the eleven-year-old boy manipulated the air mana in his feet to lift him towards the glowing Apex Jaguar.

He looked at its body and visually dissected its necrotic energy. He saw two elemental mana making up the monster’s body: Dark and Poison.

So that’s how you make necrotic energy, Michael thought to himself, taking notes even at this unfortunate timing.

He then wondered why it was threatening to explode now, when it showed no sign of it before.

As he looked further beyond the Apex Jaguar’s body, he saw another weird combination of mana slowly seeping into the undead monster.

There was also Light and Lightning mana.

Light mana cancelled out Dark mana. Lightning mana cancelled out Poison mana.

So, in theory, it should have simply disintegrated the very necrotic energy powering the Apex Jaguar and turned it into nothing but dust and bones like its other comrades.

But as it turned out…

Light mana complemented Poison mana.

And Lightning mana complemented Dark mana.

The combination of all four mana created a constructive and destructive mixture that was similar to the first Unity Mithril Artifact Michael created, which turned out to be a volatile bomb.

This was the reason why the Apex Jaguar was mere moments away from exploding.

The rest of the adventurers couldn’t help but look up at Michael, wondering why a boy so young was moving closer to the bomb.

They all recognized him to be part of the Reborn company, but few knew that he was the owner.

Sir Jon, in particular, knew Michael to be a talented business owner but nothing more. He never even expected Michael to know the 4-star spell [Air Flight], but here he was casting it so casually.

Michael raised his hand, with the power of his Supreme Skill: Unity Gathering coursing at full power.

“Separate,” he said to the mana.

He had complete control, not only with his own mana, but everything around him as well.

The necrotic energy, made up of individual Dark and Poison mana revolving around each other like planets, began to shoot away from each other because of Michael’s word.

His control over each mana was fine-tuned by ChatJK3, allowing him to simultaneously manipulate millions upon millions of mana at the same time.

As this separation happened, the bluish green light started to lighten and separate into two: Black and Violet.

With the necrotic energy finally dismantled, Michael then controlled the Light and Lightning mana to crash into the Dark and Poison mana, cancelling each other out and disappearing in an instant.

And because these mana were separated from one another, they did not have the capacity to explode.

Slowly, these four mana destroyed each other, creating sparks of light that were reminiscent of sparks from a sparkler.

Then, silence. With no necrotic energy left to fuel its body, the Apex Jaguar turned into dust.

All the adventurers, the Knights, the HammerStone company…they all stared at Michael with their eyes full of amazement and disbelief.

But Michael wasn’t done there.

He looked at the brick wall and grasped at the Dark mana pillars hiding beyond.

A crack in the crystallized Earth mana erupted, creating an opening for Michael to enter.
