Thud—!
"Aah…"
"Ah…"
A man and a woman bumped into each other.
In a bustling city, such incidents were common.
And in such situations, it was obvious what soone privileged had to do.
The woman fumbled and checked her clothes, worried the person she bumped into might be a pickpocket.
Her unpleasant behavior should have been enough to provoke the man's anger, but instead, he responded with a sly smile.
At his composed deanor, the woman's guard stepped forward.
"You punk… Do you know who you're dealing with…"
"Enough."
A sharp voice ca out again. This ti, it was directed at the man.
"Are you a Transferee…?"
The woman asked after looking at the man's attire, and he nodded.
"Ugh…"
The woman frowned and then said.
"Be more careful next ti. This ti, I'll let it slide."
"Okay…"
The woman and her guard left.
Their attire indicated that they were from the Federation.
The man, who had been watching them leave, soon turned his gaze away.
"She was the one who bumped into us, so why did Dad apologize?"
Tansia, draped in a robe, looked up and asked.
"Because we will waste ti over trivial matters if we don't. So it's better to endure."
"Endure? We have to endure? Why? But we're stronger."
The man who had bumped into the woman was Seol.
And now, Seol's group, except for Jamad, were all moving around cloaked in robes.
Karen tousled Tansia's hair.
"The weak don't have leeway. Humans are like that. They only show their teeth when their lives aren't in danger. That's why our master avoids getting involved in such things."
"Can't we just beat them?"
"No. If you hit them, it will be a disaster. The whole city would hear the sound of them being crushed."
"Hing…"
"Even the strong must follow the rules. Otherwise… things will be troubleso."
"I see…"
Tansia was a dragon.
Although her appearance was that of a child, her physical strength far surpassed that of an ordinary human.
This was sothing they had already confird.
'I'll have to teach her step by step.'
If such a dangerous power were unleashed into the world without proper guidance, it would lead to a catastrophe.
'By the way… Tansia seems to be blending in quite well now.'
Tansia called Karen, Karuna, and Ur by their nas. Only Seol and Jamad had special titles.
She called Jamad Uncle.
It seed that she was familiar with her energy.
Karen laughed hard when Tansia first called Jamad Uncle.
"Is the train going to depart tomorrow?"
Ur, who wore a mask, asked. The mask was a last resort because Ur's face was identical to Seol's, making him stand out.
It seed that he'd sowhat adapted to wearing a mask.
"Yes. Starting tomorrow, we're going to move by train.'
"Good. I was getting bored of seeing the sa scenery."
Their current location was the city of Malia, where the northern artery, Castrang, passed through.
The northern artery, Castrang—a steam-powered train.
It was the primary ans of transportation in the North. Most cities of a certain size were connected to Castrang, including those within the Federation.
The connection to Castrang had marked a before and after.
'It wasn't until Milan's ti that everything got perfectly connected.'
Since the Great Sage Milan was his last piece, it hadn't been long since the Castrang network in the North had been established.
This was Seol's first ti riding it. The sa went for the rest of the group.
And unlike Seol, who had ridden a train before being transferred here, the others were overly excited.
"There was sothing similar in Cagon…"
"To think a chunk of tal would move so fast… I can't believe it…"
First, they went to the lodging.
Since they had planned to stay only one night, they didn't need such a large place. But with money to spare, they booked the most expensive lodging available.
"Huh…?"
"Oh…?"
They ran into the woman from earlier again.
The woman frowned briefly before heading to her room.
Seol shrugged and headed to the annex.
"Then I'll go take a bath with Sia!"
"No, I don't wanna!"
"Co here!"
Tansia resisted fiercely, but she couldn't escape Karen's grasp.
Snap—!
Swoosh…
With a snap of Seol's fingers, the surroundings transford into nothingness.
[This place is the Void.]
[The Void is Snowman's independent space.]
Boom…
Boom…
"Tsk… To think I'm the only one who has to remain trapped."
"You're too eye-catching…"
Jamad grumbled. It couldn't be helped.
'Jamad is too noticeable.'
Just as Karen had said before, even if Jamad wore a robe, his massive fra would still stand out.
The whole city would surely be in an uproar.
While everyone rested in the Void, Seol fell into thought.
The source of his concern was the two boxes glowing silently in the Void.
One was the treasure he got from breaking through—no, destroying the Pitch Black Labyrinth, the Pitch Black Treasure.
The other was the final reward from the long journey that had been given to him by the old dragon.
He couldn't even grasp how valuable the items inside them might be.
Among them, Seol opened the Pitch Black Treasure first.
Creak…
[You are very wise.]
[Your high wisdom instantly comprehends the chanism of the lock.]
[Infusing mana into the lock will release it.]
[You are inspecting the Pitch Black Treasure.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have received a skill point.]
[You have received a skill point.]
[Affluent’s Bonus Effect activates.]
[You have received an additional skill point.]
[You have received an additional skill point.]
[Sly Blood-Hue Snake activates.]
[You have received an additional skill point.]
[You have received an additional skill point.]
[Soone Better’s Bonus Effect has activates.]
[You have received an additional skill point.]
[You have received an additional skill point.]
[You have received an additional skill point.]
…
A series of flashes erupted.
[You have obtained Pitch Black.]
[You have obtained Rattlesnake.]
[You have obtained Self Destructing Seal.]
[You have obtained Tightly Sealed Coffin of Darkness.]
[You have obtained 82 Platinum Coins.]
[You have obtained 3 Unknown Keys.]
…
A fluttering garnt, a ring embedded with a black gem, a black coffin, and finally, a mass of dark energy.
Each item seed extraordinary.
"Oof…"
While others might have cheered, Seol let out a sigh.
'It isn't leather…'
Seol had reached Supre-rank and beca a Crow. A class that was a hybrid of a Shadow Summoner and a Shadow Swordsman.
To fully use his class' power, Seol needed to wear leather equipnt instead of the cloth ones he currently had.
Only then could he fully take advantage of his items.
'The problem is…'
The cloth equipnt Seol was wearing was too good. He obtained so of them a long ti ago, but they had been enhanced once, so he still used them.
Finding leather equipnt that could surpass these was like reaching for the stars.
There were no Peerless items available in the market, and even Abominations were extrely scarce.
That's why the only way he could replace his current equipnt was through Adventure rewards.
'There's no leather…'
As the Void was recognized as a territory of the Veil, he had gotten a new ability.
'Rewards stored in the Void have a high chance of being usable by the mbers of the Veil.'
In other words, unlike before, useless giant axes or strange daggers were unlikely to appear.
So why were cloth items embedded with Intelligence appearing?
The answer was simple.
Swoosh…
As Seol turned his head, he saw Ur standing there.
"Oh, there are so useful items here."
Seol closed his eyes tightly.
'It's because of this guy.'
The teasing from the viewers who understood the situation continued.
- Hahaha, look at those greedy eyes.
- The enemy was always within.
To be more precise, it was because of the changes that happened when Ur reached Supre-rank and gained a physical body through Seol's avatar.
[Escape! You have broken free from the limits of a Shadow.]
[You can define yourself on your own.]
[Ur, the Frost Storm is born!]
[Ur, the Frost Storm has fully reached Supre-rank.]
[Ur, the Frost Storm possesses a special body.]
[He can create his own Exceptional Skills.]
[Exceptional Skills cannot be passed down.]
[Exceptional Skills have superior effects compared to regular techniques.]
[Those subordinated cannot use Exceptional Skills.]
[Instead of being able to create Exceptional Skills, the usage tis and effects of Wizardry have been greatly increased.]
[Instead of being able to create Exceptional Skills, the threshold of all magic greatly increases.]
[Instead of being able to create Exceptional Skills, fulfilling certain conditions can let you wield truths comparable to them.]
[All magic from this body contains the energy of Frost.]
[You can use simple frost magic without preparation.]
[Certain frost magic doesn't consu mana.]
[When casting, there's a certain chance that all types of magic will deal fixed damage.]
[You are constantly protected by living frost.]
[You have already realized a lot. As your stats increase, you can wield more abilities.]
[All resistances have been increased by 20%.]
[Wizards are closer to everything.]
[All resistances have been increased by an additional 10%.]
[The skill Maverick has been removed.]
[You can now use equipnt.]
…
Indeed.
The one who had changed the most upon reaching Supre-rank was Ur.
He had perfectly transford into a Frost Wizard.
The two most significant changes in him were the last two lines.
Maverick allowed Ur to be summoned alone while absorbing the stats of the other dismissed summons. As Seol broke free from the Shadow Space's restrictions, he was certainly going to show an overwhelming power.
However, as if this damn world had a balance patch, it had removed Maverick from Ur.
'Well, at least I can use him with the others now… I guess there will be so pros.'
The first line was sowhat acceptable. But the second line was unbearable.
That he could now use equipnt.
Where was he supposed to find equipnt suitable for a Magician who had reached Supre-rank?
'Well, I could pass on so of my current equipnt to him, but…'
Given that they were cloth and Peerless, he could pass them on to Ur… But they wouldn't be very effective. However, that wasn't the main issue.
'If I equip Ur, I'll be left naked.'
The best solution was to obtain full-body leather and full-body cloth equipnt imdiately.
'Haha! Hahaha!'
Yes, it was impossible.
For the ti being, he would have to move as efficiently as possible.
What could he do? Becoming stronger had brought changes.
'I'll just treat it as a fresh start…'
Swoosh…
"Oh… How is it?"
Ur spun around while wearing a robe adorned with a rattlesnake.
Although infuriating, letting Ur take that equipnt was the best option for now.
'First, I'll have to check everything.'
