The light sword that fell from the sky split the gymnasium in half.
The ground felt like it was going to be split in half.
The ten-meter-wide sword mark continued to spread into the distance. It had long since surpassed the hundred-meter-wide mark.
Everyone who heard Sloth's warning was already hiding far away. They were speechless when they saw the light sword descending from the sky.
Only Sloth yawned loudly.
"It's over."
After saying that, Sloth disappeared from where he stood.
When he reappeared, he was standing beside Kieran, poking his head out and looking at the two things lying in the sword mark.
"This is the thing that's messing with us?"
Sloth asked.
"Em."
Kieran nodded and looked at the two wriggling things with a surprised gaze.
It was because of their tenacious life force and also because of their origins.
One needed to know that the [Dawn Sword] that Kieran charged up wasn't rank V but rank VII!
Unlike the first time he unleashed a rank VII [Dawn Sword], he was able to unleash a rank VII [Dawn Sword] this time because of the [Incomplete Fusion Seed]. The process surprised Kieran even more. He didn't even move the sword, all he did was want to unleash [Dawn Sword] and the [Incomplete Fusion Seed] came into play on its own.
A single slash from Kieran heavily injured the monster before him.
Kieran's subsequent battle plans were rendered useless.
However, Kieran was happy to accept it.
Even though the [Incomplete Fusion Seed] was destroyed after the slash, he was happy to accept it.
After all, the monster before him wasn't some simple character.
It should have been sealed in the kitchen and burned by the earth fire.
The one that the chef who left Kieran the [Inheritance Crystal (Broken)] tried his best to seal.
Obviously, whether it was the chef or anyone else in Theorate, none of them expected Kieran to have escaped.
They had almost wiped out E Block in Theorate.
"Who are you?"
"My body! My body! "
The two wriggling jelly-like things started to wail in agony.
They wriggled as they wailed, trying to fuse into one.
Kieran would not allow the enemy to do such a thing in front of him.
Hu!
A ball of flame appeared in front of him and another ball of flame appeared in Kieran's hand. Then, it landed on the two wriggling objects.
Chi, chi, chi!
"Ahhhh!"
The sound of a chicken leg being thrown into a frying pan echoed in the stadium, and screams could not be suppressed.
"Why is there such a flame?"
"Why does it burn my soul?"
"Who are you?"
The monster's voice continued.
Kieran did not reply.
With a wave of his hand, two more balls of Devil Flame landed on the man's body.
Of course, this was not the end.
In the next minute of battle, Kieran hurled more than 50 balls of Devil Flame at his opponent.
The earth melted and turned into a magma-like liquid.
The two jelly-like monster bodies became smaller and smaller, and finally became two crystals the size of quail eggs.
Gulp!
Gluttony, who had been watching the scene with disgust, started to gulp.
However, Gluttony knew who was in charge of the stadium, so he did not make a move, looking at Kieran with an eager gaze.
Kieran thought for a while and nodded.
The monster before his eyes was definitely not a low level one. If it wasn't for Kieran's swapped body and the huge flaw of low Intuition, a slash from Kieran would have been a fierce battle. Similarly, according to the rules of the big city, the monster would surely drop some good stuff.
However, compared to Gluttony's devouring ability and converting it into his own power, the loot wasn't that important anymore.
Kieran couldn't guarantee that the item would be compatible with his own power system.
He also couldn't guarantee whether the item would have any special requirements or not.
Rather than a high quality item that Kieran couldn't use, might as well let Gluttony devour it faster and more convenient.
Gluttony cheered when he saw Kieran nod. He didn't care about the lingering heat and jumped into the magma-like liquid, scooping up the two quail egg-sized crystals. Gluttony didn't even use his eyes to size them up, sticking his tongue out.
To Gluttony, appearance was meaningless and unimportant. Taste was the only thing that could be used to measure the quality of a food.
"Mm, mm ~"
Gluttony closed his eyes and grunted in satisfaction, his face showing an intoxicated look.
As for the two crystals, they were trembling.
"Spare me!
I'll tell you a secret!
It's about the Mystic State … "
Crunch, Crunch!
The noise from the crystals stopped abruptly after the clear chewing noise.
The two crystals were chewed and swallowed by Gluttony. The moment they entered Gluttony's mouth, the crystal shards were digested.
They were converted into the purest form of energy and split into five portions, supplying to the cardinal sins, Dawn, Plague, Devil, and Saint Thorn respectively.
The five Origin Forces started to increase at a speed faster than ever before, and when they reached a certain limit …
KABOOM!
Kieran felt an explosion go off in his mind.
It was an explosion and a promotion!
More so …
Promotion!
Fuuu!
The little flame in his mind jumped and grew to twice its original size.
From a little flame that kept jumping, it grew into a blazing flame, emanating light and heat several times stronger than before.
The darkness and Chaos in the surroundings grew more and more anxious, but it was useless. They could only endure the burning of the flame and dissipate at an even faster speed.
[Absorbed, converted a large amount of Special Ability energy, Spirit V- → V]
…
Even without the notification from his vision, Kieran had already felt the change in the little flame when it had started.
Although it was just a minor change, Kieran had a feeling that it was a qualitative change. He sensed the changes in his body.
Under the shine of the flame, every detail of his body was revealed.
His skin, muscles, blood, and bone marrow.
The mystical runes branded on his veins and bones shone brightly with each breath he took and the flow of his blood.
The runes had never been this clear before.
Kieran could even use his current [Mystical Knowledge] to slightly decipher the runes.
The deciphering allowed him to understand that as time passed, each time his blood flowed through his veins, the runes would change the blood.
The process was slow.
It was even slower than Dawn Force and Plague Force.
However, the advantage was that it was silent and didn't require much. As long as the runes were around, the changes wouldn't stop.
With enough time, the blood would eventually change its roots: the bone marrow.
When the bone marrow changed as well, the whole body would go through drastic changes, reaching a whole new level.
"Too bad it's taking too long."
Kieran sighed.
What he lacked the most was time.
The changes were destined not to be his choice.
Of course, he wouldn't stop it either.
What he wanted was a faster and safer choice.
For example …
Kieran had a look of satisfaction on his face, but he quickly searched for Gluttony in the area and closed his eyes again.
Huu!
A breath later, Kieran heard a series of noises in his ears.
It was from Professor Tyrese, Leonard, the four First Seats, the students, and the guards. All of them were paying attention to Kieran.
Kieran didn't even need to differentiate. The moment he heard them, he knew what they were talking about.
It was as if each of them was talking to Kieran alone.
It was magical.
"As expected, Intuition and Spirit attributes combined!"
Kieran thought in his mind.
From the very beginning, Kieran felt Intuition and Spirit were closely related.
Although Intuition was mostly related to sight and hearing, once Spirit was added to it, Intuition would go from the simplest bodily reaction to a mystical behavior that leaned towards the mystical realm.
As Kieran's Intuition and Spirit grew stronger, his guesses were verified.
Especially after his Spirit entered rank V, he could occasionally sense vague danger based on his instincts.
It wasn't clear.
It was faintly discernible.
But …
It really existed.
Just like this moment!
Kieran looked down at his right hand. Under the cover of the glove, the eerie smiley face that went from clear to blurry was emanating danger.
"The Witch, eh?"
Kieran muttered in his heart.
He had never felt the presence of the Witch so clearly before.
Even though he had never seen her in person, the mark, the so-called Witch's Gift, was like a vengeful ghost, haunting him.
[Eliminated Sly Eater, main mission completed in advance!]
[Player will leave the dungeon in 10 seconds …]
[Please take whatever items you wish to keep with you!]
(Note: Items that exceed the maximum weight limit will be automatically identified as items that cannot be brought out of the dungeon!)
…
Kieran had gotten used to the system's sudden ambush. He calmly tidied his backpack and carried the big claypot over his shoulder.
The strange flame that appeared on the main ring dissipated as Boulder and Smith left the place.

…
Kieran heaved a breath of relief when he appeared in 13th Wallway Street again.
No other place could make him feel safer than the game room.
He carefully put down the big claypot on his shoulder.
[Name: Big Battle Pot]
[Type: Wonder Item]
[Rarity: I]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: None]
[Attribute: 1. Sealed; 2. Tasteless]
[Effect: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Prerequisite: Cooking (Musou)]
[Remark: This is a big battle pot that Smith found in the Mystic State. After repair, its rarity dropped, but it can still be used.]
…
[Sealed: Any food that is placed in the big battle pot will not go bad.]
[Tasteless: Any food that is cooked in the big battle pot has a certain chance to increase its rarity (Cannot exceed the big battle pot's rarity)]
…
It was a very special pot.
As for how to deal with it?
Kieran took out a whole set of kitchen tools from his backpack, from the kitchen knife, chopping board, plates, condiments, and lastly [Duyer's Recipe].
Since he had decided to pay for the meal, Kieran didn't mind making the food tastier.
After some thought, Kieran wrote down the [Index of Eat] in his mind.
Although some of the things were unique to the Meaning of Eat dungeon, it shouldn't be a problem for him to reference.
After he was done, Kieran sent a message to Starbeck.
: Where are you?
Starbeck: Yup, I'm baking egg tarts, do you want to come?
: Wait for me.
Starbeck: Okay.
…
After a simple message to make sure Starbeck was at home, Kieran grabbed his stuff and went out.
However, the moment he opened the door, Kieran frowned.
'Wu!'
Although he didn't see her, with Kieran's current Intuition and his growing Spirit, he was able to tell who she was.
Kieran didn't plan to go back since he was calm.
He walked straight out and closed the door.
Wu was still wearing a grayish-brown robe, and she was dressed like a witch.
"Anything?"
Kieran asked.
"Mm.
But I don't think you want to talk to me. "
Wu nodded.
Kieran didn't deny it.
Egg tarts were much more important than the woman before his eyes.
"I'll wait for you in the living room of Harvest Inn."
After saying that, 'Wu' turned around and walked towards the train.
Kieran also wanted to take the train but when he saw where Wu was heading to, he changed his mind and walked instead.
Standing in front of the stop sign, Wu saw Kieran's figure disappear from her sight before she clenched her fist and kicked the stop sign hard.
Bang!
Even though she couldn't use any offensive skills, with the accumulation of her physique, the kick infused with Wu's rage was not to be underestimated.
Gak Tsk Tsk!
A teeth-numbing noise later, the stop sign fell to the ground.
The few newbie players who just walked out of Ro Street shrunk their necks and quickly retreated back into Ro Street.
Wu didn't even bat an eye at them.
She was completely immersed in her own world.
"Damn fox!"
I'll teach you a lesson!
"Just you wait!"
Wu almost swore on her life but she suddenly remembered that Kieran saved her life before. She felt discouraged but she quickly clenched her fist again.
"I'll repay you first and then I'll teach you a lesson!"
'Wu' took a deep breath and boarded the train that was about to arrive.
The train swiftly drove away.
When Wallway Street quietened down once more, an eagle landed in front of Wallway Street No.13.
