Existing from the portal with silent reaper, I arrived at the bottom of a towering structure.At first glance I knew, we were in one of the four black towers, I saw from outside the city.Instead of ascending we both kept going deeper into the tower and reached the door at the end of the alleyway, above which ‘Testing ground’ words were graved.Silent reaper put his hand on the door and let his mana flow through it.Click!Soon a click sound resounded and the door to the testing room opened and a sweet smell of metal infiltrated my nostrils.‘This is heaven of metal.’ At first I thought the smell which infiltrated my nose, would belong to some herbs or chemical but the whole room was filled with nothing but rare metals, cores and mana crystals.The room was rather spacious from inside and contained many tables with different sets of metal, mana crystals and core neatly arranged on them.In center of the room, a 9 meter circular array was drawn, whose purpose I didn’t know.“I will use
We once again arrived at the dimly lit meeting room and after few minutes of discussion regarding auxiliary matters silent reaper retrieved 2 unique looking crystals, one was black while other was silver. The black crystal contained my fake baron persona, my new name was Edward nozwik and I was a noble from far-west on the eastern continent. The Silver crystal contained my genesis Id and it was also a multi-purpose crystal, which would be helpful for choosing mission and many more, it had all the feature of a modern smart phone inscribed in it. “Let me explain you about few things which I have arranged for you.” Silent reaper said. “As you know in order to become a gold member you have to complete 3 silver rank missions and 3 gold rank missions, but in your case you don’t have to complete any silver rank mission, we upper echelon will assign you separate assignments which you have to finish and it will be counted as silver ranked mission.” Silent reaper said. “Can’t you count it a
“Both demon jabel and makia had met me in the forest, they were doing some interesting stuff and as a rune master it piqued my interest thus I offered them my help, after receiving my help demon jabel tried to annex me into his demon princess faction but I refused because I despise demon the most in this world, don’t take offense if you are a demon.”“No need to worry, I am human and I am the same as you.” Silent reaper said with deep dark expression on his face.“That is good then.” Merlin continued.“Understanding that I won’t agree to their proposal, demon jabel informed me about the branch of your organization in snowflake city, and said you will be able to help me and thus we parted ways.He must have helped me thinking that it was the only way through which he can be in contact with me but I didn’t care.I haven’t gotten more than twenty kilometers away after meeting them that is when I noticed a huge commotion in the direction of demon jabel and makia’s camp, when I returned to
“Do you think I care about your measly threats?” She said once again turning her head toward me but the next second a shadow rose from beneath her and a golden crystal appeared in her hand, which was blinking.“Interesting, you are ready to demote my membership for bothering this nobody, it is worth investigating his identity.” She said storing crystal in her shadow and started moving in my direction.She released her momentum and her shadow started to surround us, dying everything in black, when silent reaper saw his warning didn’t work, I saw for the first time his face turn red due to anger.Two guards who were inside the shadow room appeared from the portal behind me and stood in front of me trying to stop the prying darkness, they held out their hands and a wall of black fire appeared between us but it was quickly swallowed by the darkness along with guards.All this happened before I could even blink, and I was trapped inside a dark square space where only me and shadow empress
“The information won’t be cheap.” Silent reaper said.“What kind of information do you have?”“Information from the moment he visited our branch few years ago till the moment he took his last breath.” Silent reaper said smirking.I retrieved two, rank 10 beast cores from my shadow and placed them on the table without caring about the cost of information which should not exceed this price.“One rank 12 core.” Silent reaper said without eying the rank 10 beast cores.“Are you out of your mind?” I said because even if he gives me information of the person who killed earl jabel I wouldn’t trade it for rank 12 beast core, he was clearly venting his frustration for my earlier behavior.“Earl jabel had some interesting items with him, items worth sacrificing his life for.”At first I thought he was not bluffing but this bastard definitely had some crucial information, gritting my teeth in frustration I retrieved a dazzling red rank 12 beast core which was covered with shadow energy and place
“His information is highly classified same as you, so put a stop to your curiosity.” Silent reaper said.“If you don’t have any other question please leave, I have few important matters to attend to.” Silent reaper said but his words only increased my curiosity toward that unknown man.“Let me tell you something in until now I have been acting as an member of genesis thus I endured your crude behavior but from now, I would like you to treat me as esteemed guest or you might regret your choice for not entertaining me with respect.” As I said my thoughts silent reaper had questionable expression on his face.“You are not sick are you shadow empress, you have been acting strange since the moment you have come here?” Silent reaper said in a worried tone.“I am not sick damn it, just listen what I have to say, i have an assignment for Genesis?” I said and tapped the golden genesis crystal and some information presented itself in front of me.[Assignment: Northern continent - Dragon’s lair
“What should I do, the pain is keep increasing every second?” I clenched my core and asked merlin.‘Don’t move for few seconds.’ Merlin said and I lay on the ground clenching my chest.Merlin in his shadowy form neared the consciousness bubble of dragon king noob in my sea of consciousness and released a grey fog, which covered the whole consciousness bubble of dragon king noob and the pain slowly subsidized.‘I have used too much power to lessen your pain thus I will be going into slumber of few days, don’t wake me up unless something urgent comes up and leave this area as soon as possible, that crazy princess can still track you if she wishes.’ Merlin voice trailed off at last and he shut his eyes.The pain coming from my core had subsidized a little and resting for few seconds I stood up in my place and used [Lightning step] one last time to appear in the sky above cloud, manifesting 2 meter long lightning wings behind my back I soared into the sky keeping an eye behind my back if
“Tell us everything in detail?” 2nd seat calm lake asked in not so calm tone.Instead of explaining everything in details silent reaper showed the video recording of conversation between him and lightning emperor from start till he handed him his genesis and pseudo Id’s.Everyone was shocked because silent reaper had managed the situation very well, bowing his head where necessary while holding nothing back to lure the rune master in genesis side.“The video clip is fake, I can see silent reaper’s racist side but where is his arrogant self.” 4th seat golden pig mocked.“Shut up golden pig, as majority of upper echelon are present, let’s discuss the next topic of discussion.” Silent reaper said.“The first matter will be how many of you approve the intention of lightning emperor’s visit to beast continent.” Silent reaper asked.“I approve, if it is only for his research purpose.” 2nd seat calm lake said.“I disagree, why didn’t he reveal the details of item he is searching for and he i
