While going toward the cave, various beasts and monsters attacked Elena and Debrone. Even though Debrone was using a powerful stealth item to hide their presence from the magic formation, it was powerful against the natural detection of the beasts and monsters.

And as Debrone was unable to use even the basic stealth type abilities, currently he was even easier to be detected than usual. So there were quite a few monsters who ended up attacking them on the way.

Fortunately none of the monsters were too strong, so Elena had no problems in taking care of them. The strongest one was just a level 430 demigod which was a small fry for Elena and Debrone.

But as Elena started to get closer to the cave in question, she started to feel something different from what Debrone had told her. The area around the cave was supposed to be remote and should have even less monsters than other areas of the plains. But instead, Elena found that the monster and beast activity here was higher than most other areas and she could even found the traces of the people from the tribes.

When Elena told Debrone about it, he became extremely surprised. He had not anticipated for something like this to happen. But as he had last visited this place several decades ago, it was very much possible that something drastic had happened during that time gap.

Even though Debrone was hiding himself from the formation, if he came across someone from any of the tribes, he would be recognised immediately. That would made all their hard work so far completely useless. In this troublesome situation, Debrone started to think of a solution. But nothing good came to his mind.

Elena then suddenly suggested something, obviously after scolding Debrone for being stupid. She told him to hide in a cave or something for some time while she would go to scout the situation around the cave.

This suggestion immediately made Debrone worried. He asked Elena how she was planning to conceal herself after going out of the range of the stealth item. In reply, Elena told him that she had ways to conceal herself from the formation too and if it was not for a long time, she would have no problem.

But still, Debrone requested Elena to first test the skill out to see if it was truly effective or not. He was quite stubborn about this, so Elena had to show him that her stealth skills were effective. Only after seeing that Elena was fine even after leaving the area under his item's influence, Debrone managed to relax a little and wished Elena good luck.

...

With her stealth skills, Elena went to scout out the situation. She was quite leisurely in her approach and silently walked into the camp of one of the tribes. As no one was able to see or detect her, she faced no obstacles in her way.

After coming inside the camp, Elena found a knowledgeable looking person and made his mind to blur for some time to collect information from him. From him she came to know a very unfortunate news for Debrone.

The cave that had the Cradle of Desire had suddenly gave birth to a dungeon. That had immediately made the cave from being insignificant to being super important. As for the Cradle of Desire, one of the tribes had taken custody of this. So now Debrone had no easy way to get his hand on this item which was super important for his race.

That was not the end of the bad news. The tribe that currently had the item was the earth ape tribe. This tribe had a very bad encounter with Debrone when he was here last time. As the people and even the totem divine beast of this tribe were extremely petty, they were still holding a grudge against him for this matter.

After learning everything essential, Elena returned to the place where Debrone was hiding to give him the bad news. After learning what Elena had learned, his heart went cold.

After thinking the matter over in his mind, he decided to withdraw. Debrone might have some muscle headed tendency but he was not a fool. He analysed the situation from all angles and found that their chance of success was very low. If he forcefully tried to get his hands on the Cradle of Desire, that would not only put his life in danger but also Elena's. So in this tensed situation, Debrone made the most sensible decision which was to give up.

...

Elena was quite impressed by it. She had already seen how strong Debrone's willpower was and now he showed that once again. Even though his race desparately need this item, Debrone was still able to look at the situation with a calm mind and made descision based on his brain and not his heart.

As a reward for his strong willpower, Elena decided to help him out. So she told Debrone that she could try to infiltrate the tribe of the earth ape in order to find and get the cradle of desire.

Hearing this, Debrone immediately rejected the idea. He knew very well how insanely dangerous the earth ape tribe was. He could not allow Elena to face that kind of danger for his sake. He felt extremely grateful that Elena even proposed something so dangerous but he could never bring himself to accept this suicidal proposal.

This was something that Elena had expected. So to put him at ease, she decided to show him something. Immediately Elena started to release her aura, as if she had removed the restrictions on her level. As soon as that happened, Debrone was immediately able to sense her level, which was 666.

This almost made Debrone to lose his mind. Only divine beasts and apostles of the gods were capable of reaching this level of power. Even the totem divine beasts of the tribes were at most in early 600s in terms of level and were definitely not a match for Elena.

Debrone had never expected Elena to be such a powerful person. Now it made complete sense to him why she was so arrogant. If she was not arrogant then no one in this world had the rights to be arrogant.

So in this situation, after seeing the truth, Debrone did what a sensible person should do. He bowed to Elena with reverence and thanked her for her kindness. Seeing that, Elena held back her laugher and snorted lightly. Then she said one of the most famous and cliched line of all time -

"Hmph, its not like I'm doing this for you or anything. Don't get cocky, baka."
