The deafening clashes between Valeria and the golden guardians continued to echo throughout the enormous treasury, each collision sending tremors rolling across the polished white marble beneath everyone’s feet.

Every impact sounded like two mountains crashing into one another, while showers of golden fragments and sparks rained across the lower levels of the hall.

The bioluminescent runes carved into the gigantic pillars flickered gently beneath the violent shockwaves, bathing the entire chamber in a warm amber glow that contrasted sharply with the brutal battle taking place below.

Even with such chaos unfolding, the countless treasure-filled bubbles drifting high above remained untouched, floating lazily through the vast space like stars suspended in a peaceful night sky, completely detached from the destruction happening beneath them.

Sage forced himself to tear his eyes away from Valeria’s battle. Every instinct screamed at him to help, but he understood better than anyone that charging into a fight he could not influence would only waste the precious opportunity Valeria was buying for them with her own strength.

His gaze slowly swept across the endless sea of floating bubbles overhead, his heart beating faster with every passing second as countless possibilities flashed through his mind.

Gold could help the Guild grow. Weapons could strengthen its adventurers. Ancient materials could allow blacksmiths to forge equipment beyond anything they currently possessed.

Rare herbs would save lives, and Skill Stones... Skill Stones alone could completely change the future of the Adventurer Guild.

He took a deep breath before raising his voice. "Everyone, listen carefully!"

The group immediately turned toward him. Even Gregor, who had been staring greedily at the nearest cluster of bubbles, forced himself to focus.

"We don’t have the luxury of tkme," Sage continued, his tone calm despite the urgency in his eyes. "Grab everything you come in contact with. But our priority is Skill Stones, ancient tomes, rare forging materials, high-grade weapons, armor, mana crystals, and anything that looks unique. Prioritize on the unique treasures as for the gold don’t focus too much on them, we can earn gold coins anytime we want, but treasures like these might never appear before us again."

Everyone nodded without hesitation.

"Brutus."

"I’m here."

"You and Gregor will break the tougher bubbles."

Gregor grinned and nodded as he said."Leave that to us."

"Caelis, stay below and organize everything that falls. Separate the treasures immediately. Don’t let anything get mixed together."

Caelis placed a fist against his chest. "Understood."

"Boren."

The fat man instinctively straightened.

"You’ll help transport everything into organized piles. No eating mysterious fruits this time."

Boren coughed awkwardly. "...I only tasted one."

"You tasted twelve." Sage shot him a glance while rolling his eyes at him.

"...I was doing quality inspection."

Several people couldn’t help laughing.

Sage shook his head when he heard this before continuing.

"Mina."

The little girl immediately saluted. "Petty uncle Sage!"

"You help identify strange treasures. If something looks suspicious, don’t touch it."

She puffed out her chest proudly. "Leave it to me!"

Finally, Sage looked toward Lyana.

"Lyana, I’ll need your help the most."

She stepped forward immediately. "What should I do, Guildmaster?"

"Use your vines to launch everyone toward the bubbles. Once they’re close enough, support them from below and help guide them back. Don’t waste your mana trying to pull down treasures yourself. Leave that part to me." Sage looked at her and said seriously.

A gentle smile appeared on Lyana’s face. "I understand."

Satisfied that everyone knew their role, Sage slowly clasped his hands together before circulating mana throughout his body. Gentle streams of wind began spiraling around his legs, growing stronger with every passing second until several glowing wind magic circles slowly formed beneath the soles of his boots.

The circles rotated quietly, releasing soft currents that wrapped around his entire body before lifting him smoothly off the marble floor.

Unlike the explosive leaps of the Knights, Sage’s ascent was graceful and controlled, almost as though the wind itself had accepted him as its master.

Mina stared upward with sparkling eyes. "Petty uncle Sage looks cool."

Brutus scratched his beard. "I’ll admit... that’s pretty impressive."

Within moments Sage was floating dozens of meters above the ground. The higher he climbed, the more overwhelming the treasury became. From this vantage point he could finally appreciate its true scale.

The floating bubbles stretched endlessly in every direction, forming countless layers that reached almost to the distant ceiling. Some contained rivers of glittering gold coins, others held enormous treasure chests overflowing with artifacts, while still others imprisoned elegant weapons whose blades shimmered with ancient runes.

Entire bubbles were filled with glowing ores, translucent crystals, beautifully preserved books, and strange materials whose uses Sage couldn’t even begin to guess.

He swallowed hard, finding it quite difficult to maintain his composure as he muttered under his breath. "This place... it’s like a kingdom’s treasury...No...it’s bigger."

Without wasting another second, he extended both hands. Gentle streams of wind spread outward like invisible threads, weaving themselves around the nearest cluster of treasure bubbles.

Sage carefully adjusted the mana flowing through each current, treating every bubble as though it were made from fragile glass. He had already noticed that forcing one open carelessly caused its contents to crash violently onto the floor, risking damage to whatever treasures lay inside.

If they wanted to maximize their harvest, every movement had to be controlled.

"Lyana!"

"I’m ready!"

Green magic circles blossomed beneath Lyana’s feet as dozens of thick emerald vines burst from the marble floor. They twisted through the air like enormous serpents before wrapping securely around Gregor’s waist.

"Sorry about this."

Before Gregor could respond, the vines contracted violently.

BOOM!

He shot upward like a cannonball.

"Hahaha! This is more like it!"

His laughter echoed throughout the treasury as he reached the first bubble. Without slowing down, he twisted his body and swung his broadsword in one clean motion.

The shimmering barrier burst apart with a loud crack before hundreds of glittering Skill Stones poured downward like a waterfall of stars. Every crystal reflected the golden light filling the hall, creating a breathtaking river of color as they descended toward the marble floor.

Sage had already anticipated the collapse.

His fingers moved gently through the air, and the countless streams of wind surrounding him immediately changed direction.

Instead of allowing the Skill Stones to smash into the ground, invisible currents caught every single crystal, slowing their descent until they floated gently downward one after another.

The expensive treasures settled neatly into organized piles beside Caelis without receiving even the slightest scratch.

Caelis couldn’t hide his excitement. "We actually did it... not one broke.Guildmaster, keep them coming!"

Meanwhile, Lyana had already launched Brutus toward another bubble. Unlike Gregor’s precise swordsmanship, Brutus relied entirely on overwhelming strength.

His gigantic axe crashed into the barrier with enough force to shake the surrounding air, shattering the bubble into countless fragments before a mountain of ancient weapons began raining toward the floor.

Massive greatswords, elegant spears, battle hammers, shields covered in glowing inscriptions, and even beautifully crafted bows poured from the shattered sphere.

Again Sage reacted instantly. Wind currents spread beneath the falling treasures like invisible cushions, reducing their speed before lowering everything carefully onto the growing treasure pile below.

Seeing their success, everyone naturally fell into rhythm.

Lyana continued launching adventurers one after another with astonishing precision. Gregor focused entirely on bubbles containing Skill Stones and combat manuals.

Brutus targeted weapon caches. Caelis organized every treasure the moment it reached the ground, separating materials, books, weapons, and crystals into different piles.

Boren waddled back and forth carrying smaller treasures with surprising speed despite his enormous body, muttering happily to himself every time another pile grew larger. Mina darted between everything like an energetic squirrel, occasionally pointing upward whenever she noticed something particularly valuable.

"Petty uncle Sage!" She pointed excitedly.

"That bubble has books!"

Sage immediately shifted direction. "I see them."

Another bubble burst. This time thousands of ancient tomes drifted downward, each wrapped in protective enchantments that had somehow preserved them through countless centuries.

Leather bindings remained untouched by time, while golden letters shimmered softly across their covers. Even before touching them, Sage knew these books contained knowledge worth far more than any mountain of gold.

As the hours seemed to pass inside the timeless treasury, the Guild’s efficiency increased dramatically. Their movements no longer felt rushed or chaotic.

Every person understood their responsibility perfectly, allowing the entire operation to function like a carefully maintained machine. One bubble after another burst apart beneath the combined efforts of Gregor, Brutus, and the others, while Sage’s wind magic prevented every priceless treasure from suffering damage before gently lowering them toward the steadily growing mountain below.

Eventually, the polished marble floor that had once seemed endless began disappearing beneath an enormous collection of wealth.

Mountains of gold stretched across one side of the hall, while carefully organized stacks of weapons, armor, Skill Stones, ancient tomes, crystals, rare ores, herbs, and countless mysterious artifacts occupied the other.

The Guild members couldn’t help stealing occasional glances toward the growing fortune, each pile representing resources that could completely transform their future.

Sage slowly lowered himself back toward the ground for a brief moment, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he looked across everything they had gathered.

Despite the exhaustion beginning to creep into his body, a satisfied smile spread across his face. This was already more wealth than the Adventurer Guild could have earned in several lifetimes.

But as his eyes slowly drifted upward once again...

The smile on his face froze, above them beyond the empty layer they had just cleared, there was hundreds...no..thousands of untouched bubbles still floated silently throughout the endless treasury, each one glittering beneath the amber light like another promise of unimaginable fortune waiting to be claimed.
