All had plunged into a silence, these two exchanged intensely deadly glances. They didn't care about what would happen; it was clear that facing such arrogance now was the best course."I've been patient enough, but it seems you truly desire this! I wanted to make you a good friend, but it seems that's impossible!" Micael expressed with a disappointed face.Highess never cared about what Micael said, his eyes still fixed with a high level of seriousness."Even if I have to perish, I'd be prouder if that happens, rather than being in a clan that has issued threats!" Highess jumped back, then drew out a sword engraved with Runes.The threatening gleam of this sword made all clan members alert; they could sense it, it was an item unique enough to cause great destruction to anyone being hit."Interesting... it seems I'll make him taste bitterness here!" Bronga remarked."No..." Micael intervened, raising a thousand questions. "Let me face him here!"Everyone suddenly became surprised; Mic
Seventy percent of Highess's body has been affected by this attack, everything happened so quickly that he couldn't believe Michael's technique could do this."This person is so cunning, he skillfully did this! But, if he's using this kind of power to hurt me, it means he still has a lot of abilities that can threaten lives..."Not only he suffered injuries, but Micael's body also suffered significant effects from the attack. He was affected by a stun effect that caused his right hand to go numb, his eyes staring at the hand that kept trembling incessantly."I never expected it, your attacks are so strong! I think this time I understand the power you possess is quite formidable! But, it's still not enough!" Micael immediately released his defensive stance, he became more steady and his gaze sharper."What will he do?" Highess tightened his grip instinctively."Alright! If you really don't want to join our clan, then I won't force you! Here, I just want to inform you that every great p
Highness slumped after realizing the fact that he wouldn't be able to find any clues, at times like these, hoping for an answer from the path he had chosen. But, it still felt difficult."Well, I should head to the promised place immediately! If I keep on like this, my chances of completing anything will be disrupted!"He continued to through the forest heading for, marching tirelessly. As usual, he encountered no significant obstacles. Monsters like lizards, snakes, and a few others often appeared.The game felt easy by now, with no enemies feeling threatened. Most were encountered in group battles, their sheer numbers making them truly unpredictable.Highess paused as he stood atop a hill, having traversed quite a distance through the forest, but only dense trees were still visible."Where should I look for that blacksmith? Is he really here?" Highess muttered, holding his chin, hoping for an answer to guide his steps. To his left and right were only trees waiting to be explored.No
"How is this? Should I kill these NPCs to make it easier for me to enter, or..." Highess stared ahead, hoping that by looking at the building there, he would find a desired solution."He's been spying on our village, surely he's not a good person!" shouted the Dwarf, lifting his axe and moving forward with a swift swing.Ting...The force was so great that Highess had to brace himself, his body jolting as he received the blow. He hadn't expected the Dwarf to have such strength to make him react like this.After a moment, he was pushed back by the Dwarf's force."Even I, who have experience playing this game, can be pushed by a Dwarf. It's unique to have such tough NPCs in this world!" Highess didn't want to act first; he wanted to decapitate these Dwarves who had made him angry. But, that would be considered a criminal act, and he didn't want to be even more unlucky.The other Dwarves deliberately surrounded him, raising their weapons and ready to attack.Highess glanced in every dire
Entering the territory of the Dwarves was quite unique; here, Highess was presented with aesthetic buildings. Carved stones, along with added minerals, made it appear like a beautiful location to inhabit.Some people immediately cast cynical glances, sneering, and harboring suspicion. Their words were even faintly heard by Highess's sensitive hearing."Hah... is it because of my insect form that they keep making me look disgusting?" Although he was pleased this form had many fans, still, such a form seemed quite frightening to most people, even NPCs stared at him with suspicion."Maybe I should have just chosen to be a Lizardman? Hmm..." Being a Lizardman might have been much better, but his mind refused to show the positives; he looked far more menacing with a form resembling a gecko on the wall.He was guided into a guest room, but there was a strong smell emanating from it."What's this?" In-game sensory perception sometimes had limitations, but in this game, it was possible if the
"Yeah, I only know a little about information regarding that object! I've seen it before on others I've encountered, so I think it's a Rune symbol commonly used by the Dwarves..."The response was too hasty, and Highess's tone was also somewhat unserious. Full of excuses."Hmm... is that so?" But, Aogava wouldn't dig deeper into this, he immediately continued walking, his gaze becoming colder and less spirited."Is he disappointed because I answered in such a tone?" Highess could have shown the sword with the Rune letters, but if he did, he feared it would cause a commotion, drawing the attention of many Dwarves. His presence alone was enough to make many people stare and sneer.If something even more surprising were to happen, he worried it would make the atmosphere even more chaotic.Their feet carried them towards the ascending streets, the stairs spiraling upwards. Quite strangely, while many Dwarves lived below with so much equipment and a decent living, it already felt deserted
"Not an ordinary weapon... then what kind of weapon do you want to melt down? Do you think asking for my help will solve this?" Zendref asked with a cold tone, but he also managed to exert strong dominance through his eyes.Aogava nodded in agreement with Highess to produce a weapon, and it was undoubtedly Anubis's magical staff.Just its appearance alone made Zendref's body tremble."W-What is that..." He even jumped from his chair, causing him to lose balance and fall in a very clumsy manner."Hah... is this really the reaction from those who see this weapon? Even though I cannot use it!" Highess was very disappointed that he couldn't directly use the weapon's function, even though he knew the level of its destructive power.Zendref got up and stared at the staff held by Highess. "I-Is what you're holding one of the most powerful weapons ever?""One of the most powerful weapons?" Highess glanced at the ceiling, but the answer was not yet available; he was still puzzled by the strong
"My time is limited..."The competition is about to begin soon. A week has been quite a long time, and he knows that everything will be worse if he doesn't prepare himself.As much as possible, he tries to acquire great weapons and then create a power that is difficult for many to defeat. It sounds difficult to understand and comprehend, but Highess will still make efforts to make himself better.Following Zendref's instructions, he is led to the Manerva region. All he sees is a vast orange canyon, not a desert, but a barren area filled with soil. But, it's enough to amaze him."Now where should I look for the first stone, the Stadrust Gem? If we take the name reference, such an object usually comes from the sky, fallen moon fragments! Hmmm..."There are only 4 hours left today, and night is approaching soon, the atmosphere will surely become more aggressive if it's not found soon.Time is ticking away until the atmosphere finally turns into a night, here he sees the whole area that w
