“2567？！”
"How did you get here so fast?"
Darde's surprised voice was still echoing on the ground.
The body that Kieran borrowed was sliced in half by the slash, including the shadow monster, none of them escaped [Dawn Sword]'s slash.
Kieran's appearance was too sudden and unexpected.
It was too unbelievable for them.
In their original plan, this was just a test between both sides, they didn't even include Kieran.
"Hahahaha!
What a surprising fella!
I just lost a dispensable body but that bastard left a part of his soul in the shadow. Now that he's dead, I'm afraid he must be in excruciating pain right? "
Darde the Titan was laughing out loud in a special, modified, and enlarged carriage in the midst of a group that was moving forward at high speed.
His laughter had a heavy sense of taking pleasure in other's misfortune.
However, the most concerning thing was the killer intent in his eyes.
"2567, 2567 …"
"I thought you were just some dispensable chicken ribs but now it seems like you can be considered as a decent appetizer!"
"No, no!
The main course is right in front of us, an appetizer isn't suitable anymore, it should at least be a dessert! "
"Have a good fight near Supreme Road!"
The more you fight, the easier it is for me to deal with that bastard! "
Darde muttered to himself.
…
Inside a certain underground cellar where light couldn't shine.
The shadow was moving rapidly.
Then, it transformed into a figure with scarlet red eyes.
The dark underground cellar was instantly lit up.
Amid the scarlet red light, the figure coldly grunted.
"So this is the 2567 that you said has some potential but average strength?"
"Broker, you really are the most untrustworthy bastard."
"So, I'm very glad that my plan didn't follow your arrangement completely. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll end up as Darde's meal right?"
"Darde, you must be speeding up now right?"
"Hurry up!"
"I can't wait anymore!"
"I'll surely give you a surprise!"
The figure laughed coldly.
…
Looking at the two melted bodies, Kieran's eyes were in deep thoughts.
"Darde can actually borrow someone's body?"
"Is this his hidden trump card?"
"No, it shouldn't be like this!"
"Logically speaking, if there really is such a trump card, even if it's just a tool, it would definitely be hidden at the last moment and not exposed so openly."
"Unless …"
"This ability does not belong to him."
When Kieran knew that Extremus and Darde the Titan had entered [Blade of the Daybreaker] dungeon together, Kieran had read up on both of their information in detail.
The former was very mysterious and there was no information about it at all.
However, the latter was different.
As one of the Ten Supernovas after the Witch, Darde the Titan's information was very detailed, especially the horrifying increase in physical strength and defense after transforming into a Titan. There were even people who speculated that after advancing into the Advance Ranks, he would at least be able to increase by one major rank.
However, none of them mentioned that Darde had the ability to possess someone.
What he saw just now was not an illusion.
Therefore, there was only one possibility left.
As for who gave Darde such an ability?
Or rather, who was working with Darde?
'Extreme '!
The possibility popped up in Kieran's mind.
Besides, it was also the only way for the players to hide themselves and expose others.
Kieran didn't have much contact with the players in the underground game, most of them were lone wolves introduced by Lawless.
However, Kieran wasn't naive enough to think that all the players were Lawless' friends.
Even if it wasn't for Lawless' introduction, those players might treat him differently.
"Darde and Extremus' alliance should be a mutually beneficial relationship, in order to … deal with Broker's arrangements."
"And Broker's pawn caused everything before our eyes!"
"Is he imitating the darkness that attacked Burning Force?"
"Or could it be that the darkness came from his hands?"
Kieran looked down at the magic circle beneath his feet, observing and pondering at the same time.
The complexity of the magic circle had exceeded Kieran's [Mystical Knowledge]'s range but based on some of the knowledge, it wasn't a problem to locate the true core of the magic circle.
The core of the magic circle, of course, wouldn't be that black pot!
It was located on the left side of the magic circle, closer to the edge. There was a blurry crystal bottle with a turbid liquid inside.
After making sure there wasn't any danger, Kieran picked up the bottle and carefully sized up the liquid inside.
Soon, he saw what was inside.
A fingernail.
Judging from the shape, it should be a thumb nail.
It wasn't complete, it wasn't a whole nail that was peeled off. It was only half the size of the whole nail and the nail had an unknown yellowish brown color. Within the yellowish brown color, there were some extremely tiny moldy spots.
[Name: Unknown Nail]
[Type: ETC]
[Rarity:???]
[Attack:???]
[Defense:???]
[Attribute:???]
[Effect:???]
[Prerequisite:???]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: You might be lucky to find it, but it might also be unlucky. Remember, without absolute confidence, do not open this container.]
…
When Kieran's eyes landed on the moldy spots, the item details started to appear before his eyes.
A series of question marks caused one to be astonished and curious.
However, the remark at the end allowed Kieran to maintain his calm.
He took another glance at the nail in the bottle before putting it into his backpack. Then, he started to search the entire underground cave.
However, other than some scattered and damaged Burning Dawn supplies, he didn't find any other valuable items or clues.
It was as if the underground cave was built to house the magic circle.
Kieran returned to the magic circle and memorized it with his heart.
It wasn't just because he discovered the magical aspects of the magic circle, it was also a habit that Kieran had cultivated for a long time.
'Any unknown mystical knowledge needs to be recorded. With a long period of time, you can slowly uncover its secrets.'
Nikorei, the God of Earth, once said that.
Kieran might not have a long period of time to decipher the secrets but he still had the time to record everything down.
After everything was recorded correctly, Kieran returned to the surface and swiftly met up with the others.
"You're finally back!"
Walloon heaved a breath of relief when he saw Kieran return safely.
Kieran could feel the subtle changes in Walloon's attitude.
If Walloon's previous attitude was due to Kieran's strength and identity as a special envoy, Walloon's attitude now had an extra sense of closeness between comrades.
Why would such a change happen?
Kieran knew the reason.
"Burning Dawn …"
