With a satisfied expression behind his mask, Amon walked out of the blacksmithy.
The sound of his cane taps changed as he switched from wooden to cold hard cobblestone.
The foggy freezing air hit him like a blast as he stepped outside, depriving him from the comfortable warmth of the inside.
But Amon didn't mind it.
As he had said before, he preferred cold in everything except for tea.
Even for showers, he preferred cold-showers no matter the weather or season.
His mind wandered back to the deal that had taken place inside.
It had gone better than what he thought it would, even after the blacksmith told him it would be for free.
It was because of Amon's exceptionally high demands and specifications for the weapon. It was the reason why he also insisted Nathan to let him pay and provide the materials himself, since he would co off as selfish for taking such advantage of the old man's favor. But to his surprise, no matter how much he demanded and kept voicing out his insistence to let him provide, the old man said it was completely fine and that he would still be able to process his request with ease.
And he kept saying this even after Amon finished out his order.
To think that he was still able to do it for free and not mind it made Amon imnsely grateful on top of his surprise.
This was way too advantageous for him. To the point that even though he didn't mind being selfish to people now, he felt a little bad.
But since the opportunity was presenting itself right into his hands, who was he to object to it.
'Yeah, this was way better than expected.' Amon thought with a slight content smile on his face.
Done with his business in the Black Market, Amon started his way back to the entrance. Even though he felt a deep urge to make his way towards Dungeon Drears and book a dungeon for himself to get stronger, he couldn't do so right now.
There was the festival coming up in a few weeks and Amon had to prepare for it with much more strength and caution now.
Then, he was also quite busy with other matters now because of the recent events.
Rembering what happened left a bitter taste in Amon's mouth, making it twitch behind the mask.
This was the first major incident that he had faced in the novel.
It was a wide-massacre, right in front of his eyes. One that he thought would never happen because of how good he prepared for every arc.
And since it always went the way he thought it would, it had maken him lax and easygoing. Only for it to be a major mistake in his ntality.
Even though he was attributing it to the change with Arthur, there was no denying it that he was partially to bla for this.
He himself had changed the plotline so why wasn't he accounting for these unpredictable changes now.
If he was cautious and always thought about the things that could go wrong because of his interference, maybe this incident would have never happened.
Or at the very least, he would have been able to minimize the casualties by a lot.
Amon clenched his grip on the cane holder, his teeth gritting as a cold rage boiled up within him.
But he quickly cald himself and composed his aura, realizing how people around him were getting disturbed even from his suppressed aura.
A sigh escaped his lips, coming out in the form of a white wispy cloud that drifted upwards into the air, disappearing eventually.
Amon still blad himself for the incident.
More than Arthur. No, he was entirely to bla.
But it was useless to complain now. If he could return back to ti, then he was sure Arthur would have done it a long ti ago.
He could only reflect upon his mistakes and improve further going onwards.
Even though he was stronger than anyone in terms of his own year and age, Amon was weak.
Awfully weak compared to what he had to face in the future.
He needed to get stronger and faster. Otherwise, such losses would continue.
Losses that amounted not only to human lives but also his system quest failures.
Yes. That day, Amon had been inflicted by a deep pain in his body.
It was as if an integral part of her soul had been torn away from him, setting a burning fire in his body that scorched his mind.
It lasted for only a minute but it felt like it had lasted for an eternity in him.
And after that...
'[System]'
The familiar blue holographic interface window opened up in front of him.
