"Holy crap, what is that?! A million-fold hurricane has descended!!"
"Is this punishment from the gods? Itâs coming from [The Lost Graveyard]!"
"Why does this storm look kind of familiar? Itâs like the same one, just ten times bigger!"
"Now that you mention it... wait, isnât this one of Boss Caelanâs signature skills?!?"
The awakeners around [The Lost Graveyard] were still arguing intensely when they suddenly noticed somethingâ
the distant [Annihilation Storm] was still expanding!
It had already covered the entirety of [The Lost Graveyard], yet there was still no sign of it stopping!
The moment they saw this, everyone present turned pale with fear.
"Why do I feel like this storm is coming at us?!"
"Stop standing there like an idiotârun! Brother, what are you spacing out for?!"
"Runârun now! Canât you see it? Even the monsters are fleeing for their lives! This storm is absolutely devouring everything!"
For a moment, the awakeners in the area all started fleeing desperately toward Rodri City.
In the distance, many people inside Rodri City also noticed the changes over at [The Lost Graveyard].
Not because they were especially paying attentionâbut because all the clouds in the sky were being dragged toward the gigantic storm.
That all-consuming sky gave people an indescribable sense of oppression.
At this moment, whether they were guards on duty or ordinary civilians, everyone felt a pressure they had never experienced before.
It felt like the end of the world!

[Congratulations! Level Up! Your level has increased to Lv. 187. You gained 30 attribute points (auto-assigned).]
[Congratulations! Level Up! Your level has increased to Lv. 203. You gained 27 attribute points (auto-assigned).]
[Congratulations! Level Up! Your level has increased to Lv. 230. You gained 31 attribute points (auto-assigned).]
[Friendly Reminder: Your current level has reached the level cap. You must complete the Class Mutation Quest to unlock the cap.]
This haul could truly be called killing two birds with one stone!
Caelan nodded in satisfaction. This trip to Rodri City had not only unlocked the [Wax Effigy Core], but also pushed his level all the way to the cap!
His efficiency had truly been maxed out.
As for the miscellaneous loot, Caelan didnât even bother counting it. It was piled up so densely that it had nearly filled his entire storage space.
Especially this time, since the [Deathborn King] hadnât resisted at all, the hidden kill rating after defeating him was unusually high!
Originally, a boss would only have a chance to drop certain rare equipment and materials.
But with the [Deathborn King], it became a 100% drop rate.
The only pity was that, as his strength increased, Caelan had actually considered upgrading his longsword.
But so far, he still hadnât found any suitable materials.
Especially since the [Deathborn King] belonged to the deathborn type of monstersâhe basically wouldnât drop anything useful for reinforcing a longsword.
Still...
he could consider selling these materials first, then buying some more suitable ones.
The only concern was whether those materials would be easy to purchase.
But Caelan couldnât be bothered to worry about that.
Heâd just dump it all on Marov and call it a day.
What he needed to do next was complete [Class Mutation Quest 4 Stars] as soon as possible.
Only after completing that quest could he unlock the level cap and further increase his strength!
Besides that, Caelan was also very curious whether this would unlock an entirely new skill tree.
As for [Apocalypse], which he had unlocked last time, he originally thought it wasnât all that useful.
But looking at it now, it actually had quite a bit of value.
The problem was just that he was short on gold coinsâhe couldnât afford to learn the whole thing!
At that moment, Caelan suddenly remembered the item he had obtained.
Those things his parents had left for himâwasnât now exactly the time to use them?
[Dwarven Blacksmithâs Token (legendary-grade)]
[Restriction: Can only be used by awakeners who have reached 4 stars or above]
[Description: With this token, you may invite any dwarven blacksmith of legendary-grade or below to forge one piece of equipment for you. Materials must be provided by yourself.]
Maybe he could ask a dwarven blacksmith to reforge his longsword!
...
Mylanne City.
Caelan handed all the messy loot over to Marov to deal with.
After exchanging it for several billion gold coins, he hurriedly prepared to check his [Class Mutation Quest].
But just then, the receptionist swayed over on a pair of long, fair legs and walked straight up to Caelan, while handing him an exquisite fruit platter.
"Honored Mr. Caelan, please have some fruit and relax for a bit."
Caelan froze for a moment, then instinctively looked up.
Mm... long and straight, snow-white and delicate. He hadnât noticed before, but now that he lookedâshe was definitely top-tier.
But in the next moment, he voluntarily pulled his gaze back.
At the same time, he reached out and picked up a grape, about to put it into his mouth.
"Thank you."
The receptionist smiled faintly. Then she lifted her fair little hand, snatched the grape from Caelanâs fingers, and carefully peeled it.
The crystal-clear grape flesh gave off an enticing aroma.
Especially with that soft yet springy texture, it carried a rather peculiar sort of temptation.
"Here, eat~"
After saying that, the receptionist personally fed the freshly peeled grape into Caelanâs mouth.
The instant she bent over, Caelan finally understoodâ
this receptionist was absolutely a hidden master!
"Honored Mr. Caelan, could you do me a favor?"
Hearing her request, Caelan paused slightly.
But before he could even react, a soft, delicate hand had already seized Caelanâs lifeline.
"Mr. Caelan, you really are an outstanding man. Could you give me a beautiful child?"
After saying that, she actually lowered her head and pressed herself forward.
Caelanâs expression changed. [Flashstep] activated!!
In the next instant, his figure appeared five meters away.
"I only see you as a friend. And to be honest, Iâm not interested in you."
A trace of disappointment flashed across the receptionistâs face.
She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she only let out a soft sigh.
"Iâm sorry, Mr. Caelan!"
