Three Sun-hours later, Li De left the Druck Tavern with a broad smile on his face.
Behind him, the boss of Demon Heart, the Level 19 Mind Eater Wales Ronal, was respectfully seeing him off.
This eting, which had originally been expected to end in a brutal battle, concluded instead in a pleasant and harmonious manner.
When Li De returned to the Dark Pact's temporary estate, he could no longer contain the joy in his heart and opened up the system notifications that had just appeared.
“Ding~ You have beco the master of the Dark Pact and have gained the recognition of the ruler of Demon Heart: Mind Eater Wales Ronal. Your secondary identity, Iro, gains 5 Legend Rating in the Underworld of Green City.”
“Ding, you have beco the Vice President of Demon Heart and are widely acknowledged and feared by the factions of Green City’s Underground World. Your secondary identity, Iro, gains 5 Legend Rating in the Underworld of Green City.”
“Ding, your secondary identity Iro, has reached a Legend Rating of 10 in the Underworld of Green City. Title activated: Dark Legend.”
Dark Legend
Traits:
When facing dark races, intimidation power is increased. Against creatures with Legend Rating 5 points lower than yours, gain the Majestic effect (enemies experience fear, all attributes reduced by 30%).
Very high chance of subduing dark creatures below your level.
Viewed as an enemy by creatures of the Good and Nature alignnts.
“Ding, due to the special intimidation your secondary identity holds over Wales Ronal, you gain 10 Legend Rating when facing Wales.”
“Ding~ You have beco the President of the Dark Pact and have gained the recognition of the underground factions of Green City. You gain 2000 Character Experience.”
What a massive harvest.
An absolute jackpot.
Li De never expected the secondary identity he had made up to actually be recognized by the system.
And not only that, it now held a whopping 10 points of Legend Rating in the Underworld of Green City, even activating a powerful title: Dark Legend.
From now on, any dark race creature in Green City with 5 less Legend Rating than him would suffer a 30% attribute reduction in his presence.
This was insane.
It was practically like having cheat codes.
Unable to contain his excitent, Li De’s smile grew into a wide arc.
And most importantly, the system had officially recognized his identity as the President of the Dark Pact, and along with that, he had been acknowledged by the entire Underworld of Green City.
That was practically an official certification.
Before this, even though he had taken over the Dark Pact, in the Underworld, the one truly recognized was still Viscount Berna. As long as Berna didn’t appear, the nominal leader of the Dark Pact would still be him.
But now it was different. These factions all recognized the new master of the Dark Pact: Iro. No matter when Viscount Berna reappeared, the Dark Pact would only have one president, unless Berna killed Iro outright.
Gaining recognition usually required a long investnt of ti. Li De had ntally prepared for a drawn-out battle, but now he had leapfrogged directly to the finish line.
There was nothing more surprising or delightful than this outco.
And the one factor behind all of it was just one person. Mind Eater Wales Ronal, the ruler of Demon Heart who had made all of this possible.
As one of the three major powers in the Underworld of Green City, his recognition of Li De’s position ant that he acknowledged Li De as being at least on equal footing with himself.
With Wales’s influence, the identity of Iro was imdiately accepted by the Underworld.
What Li De found even more amusing was that he would receive an extra 10 points of Legend Rating when facing Wales.
That ant his standing in Wales’s eyes was unimaginably high.
“This Mind Eater isn’t scary at all, praise the Goddess of Love and Beauty~”
Li De looked at the information on his attribute panel, grinning from ear to ear.
This wasn’t just a profitable outco, it was wildly, absurdly profitable.
Not only had he resolved the Dark Pact issue, but he had also brought the even more powerful Demon Heart into alignnt with his faction.
In a short span of ti, he had cleared his biggest concerns.
It could be said that his plan had been executed perfectly.
Of course, it wasn’t without risk. If Mind Eater Wales Ronal ever found out he’d been hoodwinked, this half-demon dark boss might flip the entire Dark Pact upside down.
Never underestimate the power of a major player.
But Li De was naturally confident. Now that the king of sches had stepped onto the stage, he wouldn’t be so easy to expose.
And as long as he was given so ti to develop, what was a Mind Eater compared to the true potential of Dawn City?
In just half a year, he had gone from having nothing to being able to stand toe-to-toe with a dark boss. When this Mind Eater beca a Transcendent, how far could Li De go?
“Lord Progenitor, your wisdom could inspire awe even from the Creator,”
Emi said the mont he returned to the Dark Pact estate, offering a sincere complint to Li De.
He had watched step by step as Li De had grown to this level.
Once, he had been the top combat power. Now, Betty, Grote, and even Stanley all surpassed him in strength. Dawn City’s power was growing at an astonishing rate.
The strategies Li De had shown during Dawn City’s developnt, and his decisiveness in the face of all kinds of challenges, earned the deepest admiration from this Blaspher.
Li De gave a small shake of his head.
“No, this ti was pure luck. If that Mind Eater hadn’t overthought things, none of this would have gone so smoothly.”
Li De was well aware of the situation. If the master of Demon Heart had been a brute, tonight would not have gone so smoothly.
Wales Ronal, with half of his bloodline coming from demons, had inherited their suspicious nature.
Too many coincidences had aligned; it was unlikely such an opportunity would arise again.
