A colorful brilliance shone from the gemstone and instantly enveloped [Great Swamp Scale] within it.
Then …
The brilliance vanished!
No!
It didn't vanish but it was absorbed by [Great Swamp Scale].
The originally palm-sized black scale expanded like a balloon after absorbing the brilliance. Within a breath's time, it grew to the size of a tire.
But soon enough, when the black scale expanded to its limit, it started to shrink rapidly.
It only stopped when it was the size of a tire.
Then, the black scale turned red. When Kieran held it in his hand, it felt like he was holding a cluster of fire.
[Name: Great Swamp Scale]
[Type: Scale]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Attack: Extreme]
[Defense: Extreme]
[Attribute: 1. Great Swamp's Might; 2. Great Swamp Force]
[Effect: Blessing of Flame City]
[Prerequisite: Great Swamp's Gift]
[Remark: The unsealed Great Swamp Scale is starting to show its miraculous abilities. This is Great Swamp's gift and also the proof of your cooperation.]
…
[Great Swamp's Might: Any malicious target will have to undergo a Spirit authentication no lower than B + rank. If the target fails, they will enter Panic and Fear mode.]
[Great Swamp Strength: You can use it to obtain the power of fire. Gather a ball of fire with attack rank not exceeding Extreme. (When the fire appears, it will not harm you while holding the Great Swamp Scale. However, when the fire leaves your palm, it will inflict the same damage to you.)]
…
[Blessing of Flame City: When you are in Flame City with Great Swamp Scale, you will receive some favor from fate.]
…
"Blessing of Flame City?"
Kieran raised a brow when he saw the special effect of [Great Swamp Scale] but soon enough, he shook his head.
It wasn't that [Great Swamp Scale] wasn't good enough but to his current state, it was far from what he had imagined.
Other than [Blessing of Flame City], the other two attributes were really useless to Kieran.
In fact, even [Blessing of Flame City] wasn't as useful as he had imagined.
After all, he couldn't stay in Flame City forever, staying in this dungeon world.
"Thank you."
He didn't get what he had expected, but that didn't stop Kieran from thanking him.
This was the etiquette that Kieran knew.
However, it wasn't what Great Swamp knew.
"Look at you now. I feel like you're starting to look like a human."
"You're clearly disappointed, but you're still being polite."
Great Swamp smiled at Kieran.
"To be able to describe hypocrisy in such a euphemistic manner, you have naturally surpassed the shackles of mortals."
Kieran said faintly.
This was not a counterattack, nor did it mean that Kieran acknowledged Great Swamp's words.
To a certain extent, Kieran's stubbornness was beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but it was also because of this stubbornness that Kieran had a character that ordinary people didn't have.
"I'm a Fiendish Demon."
"Although they are worshipped as gods and have the appearance of humans, in essence …"
"I'm still a demon."
"At most, I'm kind. I'm a vegetarian."
Great Swamp said nonchalantly.
Great Swamp never minded his identity and didn't conceal it.
Great Swamp's actions made Kieran look at Great Swamp even higher.
"Don't look at me like that."
"I don't want to hear any compliments either."
"After so many years, I've heard all the compliments — they have lost their original motivating effect, all that's left is flattery."
"I don't want to hear it from you."
Great Swamp said before Kieran could.
"You're thinking too much."
"Maybe it's because you've been a God for a long time, so you're thinking too highly of yourself?"
Kieran then looked at the unconscious Perforation Sting leader.
"Don't be hasty.
I haven't paid you all my rewards. "
"Where's that Fire Raven of yours?"
Great Swamp waved his hand.
"It's outside."
Kieran answered.
When they first entered Rassho Temple, even though the place was sparsely populated, between bringing Fire Raven along and moving alone, Kieran chose the latter.
One needed to know that Fire Raven had evolved twice and reached the level of an upper-middle fiend, but it didn't mean it could conceal its presence.
Most of the time, the target didn't notice Fire Raven because of the distance.
Gawk!
A chirp sounded.
After Great Swamp opened up an opening, Fire Raven followed Kieran's order and flew in. It landed on Kieran's shoulder and looked at Great Swamp with a probing gaze.
It wasn't frightened or anxious.
It seemed like it was fearless when it stood on Kieran's shoulder.
Great Swamp nodded in satisfaction.
"You fed it well."
"It's better than I thought."
"It seems like you really treat it as an indispensable assistant."
"I was a little worried that you wouldn't want to part with the scale, but now it seems like I was worrying too much — 2567, are you willing to give your follower a chance?"
Great Swamp suddenly sounded serious.
"What do you mean?"
Kieran furrowed his brows.
"Fire Raven is a low-tier fiend. Most of the time, it relies on numbers to win. Even with some luck and some mutation, it's hard for it to stand on its own."
"It's their own limitation, nothing else."
"Now, you have a chance to break through its own limitation, but you will lose that scale."
"Are you willing …"
"Here!"
Before Great Swamp could finish, Kieran tossed [Great Swamp Scale] to him.
A slightly useless Legendary item versus a companion that would accompany him for a long journey, how should he choose?
There was no need for hesitation at all.
However, Great Swamp was stunned.
"This scale is quite useful to you. Maybe the power it brings to you isn't worth mentioning, but if you bring it with you, it will bring …"
"Good luck?"
"I know."
"Just like how I know what my choice is now."
"Hurry up and start."
"Don't tell me you want to continue this conversation with me?"
Kieran interrupted Great Swamp again.
Like before, Great Swamp didn't mind at all.
"I'm starting to like spending time with you more and more."
Said Great Swamp. He then shot a drop of blood from his index finger onto the [Great Swamp Scale]. Immediately, the scarlet red [Great Swamp Scale] shone in a blinding light.
The little scale was shaking non-stop.
It sounded like a dragon's roar and a snake's hiss coming from the scale.
The longing emotion was transmitted from Fire Raven to Kieran's heart, but despite its eagerness, Fire Raven stood still on Kieran's shoulder.
It wasn't just the power of the contract, it was also a kind of tacit understanding.
"Go."
Until Kieran gave the order, Fire Raven flew straight into the light.
The Fire Raven's evolution began once again.
Kieran waited in silence, anticipating what would happen next.
