Rael idly watched the fights happen, and from time to time, he flashed a glance toward Chop-E.
To his surpriseâŠ
<Crazed Wasp (x7) [Level 55] Killed! Experience: +42,904>
<+21,452 Trell Acquired>
It was killing those monsters easily, even if they were weak.
Also, since the construct was the one killing the monsters, he gained experience for both himself and the Crystal Genesis skill.
Safe to say, if he were to create a dungeon-clearing army in the future, Chop-E would be their leader.
Despite that, he was not left with many things to do, except for watching the fights unfold.
Or so he thoughtâuntil the sight of overwhelmed soldiers greeted him, so he had no choice but to head over to them.
âDeadly Beetle [Level 62] [27,800/27,800 HP]
âLizardman [Level 68] [40,700/40,700 HP]
There were a few monsters like that, and since he wanted to deal with them fast, Rael merely ran up to them and used Fractured Prism.
[MP -29,500 161,700/1,761,200 (1x Fractured Prism)]
A single one was enough to draw their attentionâand even kill a few in the process.
<Deadly Beetle (x6) [Level 62] Killed! Experience: +42,461>
<+21,230 Trell Acquired>
<Lizardman (x11) [Level 68] Killed! Experience: +86,970>
<+43,485 Trell Acquired>
<Level: 82 â 84>
<+1,600 Trell Bonus>
As for the others? They ran away once they noticed him.
It was an annoying cycle, and there wasnât much he could do about it.
Heâd just leave it in Chop-Eâs hands instead.
âAre you alright?â Rael asked, walking up to the guard.
He had a cut on his shoulder, but it didnât seem that deep.
HoweverâŠ
âFuck, I think Iâm going to die! That lizard bastard nicked me across my armâI might have to cut it off!â
Rael tilted his head. That cut barely even pierced the skin, though?
But he didnât point that out. Instead, Rael ignored the guards in this post and went to the next.
However, midway through, he noticed a particular figureâmaking him stop dead in his tracks.
A woman with long golden hair and beautiful blue eyes. She had her hand gently resting on the hilt of her sword as she stared at the fights from the sidelines.
Is that fucking Evelyn Ardent? Rael thought, startled.
She was the one who would become the Sword Saint in the future, and people would be able to get an Epic-ranked class from her if she took them under her wing.
Safe to say, Evelyn was overpowered, but at the moment, she still seemed like an unknown vice-captain of a random Yrgon division.
Of course, once an opportunity like that presented itself, Rael would not back away.
Therefore, he approached Evelyn and stood beside her, making her slightly puzzled.
âCan I help you?â Evelyn asked, as she began looking him up and down. âYouâre that guy from earlier, right? The one with those weird tornados?â
âThat would be me,â Rael replied with a nod, before deciding to be straightforward. âWhat do you think the essence of loyalty is?â
Hearing that, she frozeâturning to him suspiciously.
âLoyalty is gained, not bought⊠Who are you?â
âIâm a very greedy person,â Rael replied with a smile, pulling his hood down so his hair would not be as visible. âAnd I would like to extend a proposal to you. In exchange for joining me, Iâll grant you any one wish that is within my limits.â
âAnd what are your limits, misterâŠ?â
âCall me Arel. You donât need to know who I am for the time being,â Rael said flatly. âJust think of something, and Iâll get back to you later.â
âCan you find the ones responsible for killing my parents? If you can do that, I promise I will consider your offer,â Evelyn replied seriously as she tightened the grip on her hilt.
Rael almost wanted to laugh.
After allâŠ
Just how perfect is my timing� I will have the Faceless One on my side soon. The same person who can dig up the past of anything or anyone⊠Rael thought, calming his breaths as he nodded.
âAny details? Names? Date perhaps?â
Evelynâs brows twitched as she leaned in, whispering. âMy motherâs name was Seraphina, and my father was Thalric. Both of them had the surname Ardent, and they died right as I was bornâexactly 19 years ago.â
The Ardents, 19 years ago⊠Rael noted inside his mind. âThe next time we meet, I will have that information ready for you. See you then.â
With that, he left the stunned Evelyn and returned to the battlefield.
The monsters had noticeably dwindled, and Linlin was almost done butchering the Drake.
Can I kill steal? Rael pondered before sighing. Canât get there in time, sadly.
His MP was slowly being restored, and in the meantime, he chose to admire his creation.
<Dung Frog (x13) [Level 58] Killed! Experience: +97,988>
<+48,994 Trell Acquired>
<Level: 84 â 85>
<+800 Trell Bonus>
Hmm⊠Itâs definitely getting a shower after weâre backâ
His thoughts were interrupted when, all of a sudden, the tail of a drake entered his sightâliterally hurtling right at him.
He didnât have much time to react, so Rael merely put his hands up to protect his head.
Linlin, you motherfucker.
[HP -24,225! 435,375/460,600]
Rael was sent flying into the city wall by the weight of the Drake.
However, he caught himself midway through by stabbing the ground with his staff and flinging himself onto the ground.
[HP -500! 435,875/460,600]
Of course, his luck made him hit a rock insteadâdespite there only being grass around.
Nonetheless, Rael stood up, brushed himself off, and glared at Linlin, who began tapping in the air.
<Linlin Xu: Whoops, my bad.>
His brow twitched upon seeing that.
âDonât âWhoopsâ me. You did that on purpose, didnât you?â
She shrugged, and just as he was about to complain, the drakeâs body began crumbling slightly, as a bunch of its scales fell off.
Hmm?
âFire Drake (General Class Boss) [Level 105] [2,440,991/82,920,000 HP]
<I saw you staring at it like a hawk, so yeah⊠Surprise?>
She just served me experience on a platter⊠Rael gulped, as he recalled Chop-E and gripped his staff.
Even with low damage contribution, the amount of experience heâd get would be insane.
Therefore, Rael grinned as he pointed the staff at the Drake⊠just a little lower.
âPrepare your balls, you overgrown lizardâthis wonât be fun for you.â
