Under Kieran's gaze, the decapitated eagle started to turn blurry and dim, as if it was going to vanish into thin air.
But at the next moment …
A small spider the size of a palm landed on the eagle's body.
It spun a cocoon swiftly.
Within a breath's time, the eagle's body turned into a cocoon.
Then, the small spider crawled on the side of the cocoon and started to devour it.
The process wasn't slow at all.
Around 10 seconds later, the bulging cocoon was reduced to a layer of skin and the small spider's body started to shine.
Amidst the shine, the small spider and the cocoon skin on the ground vanished together.
Meanwhile, Kieran's right wrist guard was emanating a reserved dark golden luster.
The luster vanished in a flash.
The black wrist guard was getting darker, like the night sky in the middle of winter. The image of the spider on the wrist guard turned into an embossed pattern, as if a spider was crawling on the wrist guard.
[Name: Mardos' Lair]
[Type: Armor (Right wrist guard)]
[Rarity: IV]
[Defense: IV]
[Attribute: 1. Mardos Silk; 2. Mardos Web; 3. Mardos Devour]
[Effect: 1. Mardos Flame; 2. Mardos Fear]
[Prerequisite: The one who killed Mardos with his own hands (Bound)]
[Remark: Mardos was hatched from a Hell Fiend Spider egg that was left on earth. Through a special hatching and catalyzing process, it suffered a congenital maldevelopment and lost the Hell Fiend Spider's inheritance, intellect and power, all it had left was its hunting instinct. But your appearance started to change the situation and the changes are getting deeper and deeper! Now, it is only a step away from retrieving its inheritance!]
…
[Mardos Silk: Fire a sticky, retractable spider silk no longer than 150 meters. Spider silk has rank II defense, target will need to have rank II Strength to break free from the stickiness, 10 second duration, 2 times per day]
[Mardos Web: Fire a 25 meter radius sticky and venomous spider web, binding multiple targets within 200 meters. Spider web has rank II defense and above, target will need to have rank II Strength to break free from the stickiness. The venom will need to go through 3 Constitution authentication (III, II, Strong II. If target fails all 3 authentication, target will suffer rank III poison damage. If target fails 2 authentication, target will suffer rank II poison damage. If target fails 1 authentication, target will suffer Strong rank I poison damage.), 5 second duration, 1 time per day]
[Mardos Devour: Every time a target is killed, it will absorb a portion of the target's soul energy to replenish user's HP and Stamina. The amount of replenishment is based on the target's soul strength and can also be temporarily stored in the wrist guard. The amount of replenishment is equivalent to 2 Lethally Wounded Status and Stamina Recovery, 3 High Wounded Status and Stamina Recovery, 4 Medium Wounded Status and Stamina Recovery. (Current Lethally Wounded Status and Stamina Recovery 2, High Wounded Status and Stamina Recovery 3, Medium Wounded Status and Stamina Recovery 4) (Note: This is pure soul energy, no specific attributes, suitable for all Origin Forces)]
…
[Mardos Flame: When using Spider Web Spit and Web Bind, the bound target will receive a rank II fire and rank II negative energy assault. (Mardos' fire is not common fire, it cannot be extinguished by water or earth and it is up to user's will to activate Hell Fiend Spider Fire)]
[Mardos Fear: The monsters beside the Hell Sulphur River aren't as simple as they look but they have chosen to maintain the necessary respect for Mardos. When using Spider Web Spit and Web Bind, the bound target will have to undergo a Spirit authentication no lower than user's own, Intuition authentication no lower than user's own, Fear and Illusion authentication no lower than user's own. If the first authentication fails, the target will receive a mental impact corresponding to user's Spirit level. If the second authentication fails, the target will receive a Death authentication (Special Origin Force, based on user and Mardos). If the target fails, the target will die on the spot and their soul will be devoured!]
…
"I'm only one step away from retrieving my own legacy?"
Kieran glanced over the rank IV [Mardos Lair] and glanced over the attributes. In the end, he landed on the remark.
No doubt rank V was the Hell Fiend Spider's starting point.
"Rank V the moment it was born … Scary!"
Unconsciously, Kieran recalled the description of the Hell Fiend Spider: pulling the stars and devouring the Gods.
If rank V was the starting point, it wasn't a big deal to achieve all that.
No one knew what level a fully grown Hell Fiend Spider could reach.
Rank VII?
Rank VIII?
Rank VIII?
Or even higher?
Kieran wondered as his eyes landed on the spot where the eagle's body fell.
His eyes were in deep thought.
The eagle's appearance was very appropriate.
After the Witch's Mark on the back of his hand was mostly gone, the eagle's sudden appearance was exactly what the Witch wanted to do for revenge.
But …
The eagle was still too weak!
Although it had all sorts of skills to counter Kieran's identity as a Chosen One, it didn't know much about him.
Based on the Enigmatic Realm that the Witch's Mark created, the Witch's Mark, which was always around him, should be very familiar with him.
This information would definitely be sent to the Witch's backup plan.
But in fact?
The eagle wasn't completely clueless about Kieran, but it didn't know much about him.
It was like the eagle had investigated Kieran, but all it could find out was what Kieran had done in the big city in the past, not what he had done in the dungeon world.
"If that's the case …"
"Things are getting interesting."
A person flashed over Kieran's mind.
He then opened the PM tab.
…
Ro Street was as lively as usual.
Somehow, the street next to Wallway Street had become a gathering place for newbies and newbies. A lot of veterans were willing to show up at the street.
It wasn't just because of the liveliness, it was also because some good stuff had appeared in the market a few days ago.
A lucky newbie acquired a Legendary rank item in the newbie trial.
Since he couldn't use the item, he decided to sell it in exchange for more resources to strengthen himself.
No one knew how much the item was sold for.
But everyone knew Ro Street would have good stuff.
Instantly, the crowded street became even more lively.
Kieran listened to the chit-chat of the ice cream shop owner in front of him, but he didn't agree or disagree.
He didn't deny the fact that there were some lucky and talented players who could surpass others in the newbie trial, but he didn't believe anyone would sell a Legendary rank item after acquiring it in a newbie dungeon.
Although the item couldn't be used, it was still a wise move.
However, anyone who had a slight understanding of the big city would never do that.
Humans were born with selfishness.
Given their selfishness, a lot of people would do things that harmed others without benefiting themselves, which might seem stupid and ridiculous in others' eyes.
Therefore, this should be the advertising strategy of the manager of Ro Street.
Of course, if there really was a newbie who acquired a Legendary rank item in the newbie trial, Kieran would have some expectations.
As long as such a person didn't get himself into trouble along the way, he would soon become famous.
"Your extra large strawberry, vanilla, taro, blueberry, mango, chocolate, and cheese ice cream is ready.
That's a total of 3 Points. Thank you for your patronage. "
The ice cream shop owner brought a 16-inch waffle with all kinds of ice cream balls and placed it in front of Kieran. His voice was clear and pleasant, filled with joy.
Other than the buffet shop owner, any other shop owner would be overjoyed to have a customer like Kieran.
A single person was worth 10 people.
How could he not be happy?
After paying the 3 Points, Kieran took his ice cream to an empty seat beside him.
Due to the different prices and the fact that most of the food couldn't even reach 1 Point, there was a place to exchange tickets at the entrance of Ro Street.
People might not be used to it at first.
However, everyone who was walking on Ro Street was more or less holding two or three paper tickets that represented one point.
Kieran poked the top strawberry ice cream ball with a spoon, scooped up a third of the ice cream ball, and put it into his mouth.
When the cold, sweet, strawberry aroma entered his mouth, Kieran couldn't help but squint his eyes in satisfaction. His blurry face was filled with satisfaction.
The satisfaction lasted until Borl appeared, and it did not dissipate.
Compared to the last time they met, Pol looked even more down and out.
It wasn't because of his appearance, but because of his aura.
He looked like a gambler who had lost everything and was ready to end his life.
The owner of the ice cream shop had been staring at Borl the moment he stepped into the shop.
Although there were patrols and guards on Ro Street, it took time for them to show up, and during that time, anything could happen.
She didn't want anything to happen to her.
At the same time, she didn't want anything to happen to her customer either.
Therefore, when she saw Pol walking towards Kieran, she warned him.
"Dear customer, is he here for you?
Do you know each other? "
The shop owner asked in a clear voice.
"Em."
Kieran nodded.
Pol shrugged helplessly.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble.
I don't dare to cause trouble either.
After all, in front of this person … "
Pol's voice got softer and softer, eventually stopping when Kieran's gaze landed on him.
Even though he had given up on himself because of his continuous failures, Pol didn't want to die yet.
The person in front of him wasn't a kind person.
Saying he was vicious and merciless was a euphemistic way of describing him.
"That's good."
The shop owner heaved a breath of relief when she saw that Pol really knew Kieran.
As for Pol's abrupt stop?
The shop owner didn't think much about it.
The big city was too big for her, who was still trying her best to survive. There were too many rumors as well.
She didn't have the heart to care.
All she wanted was to steadily earn enough points and survive the next dungeon crisis before the time limit came.
That was how most of the people in the big city felt.
No one dared to look down on others.
Everyone was the same.
After all, those who took the initiative to take the risk were the minority. Those who had to endure the risks passively were the reality.
"How much do you know about the leader of the Guardians?"
Kieran said without hesitation.
"I don't know.
"Although I was originally one of the eight inspectors of the Guardians, the only ones who could really come into contact with the leader were the two Supervisors. Other than them, no one else can get in touch with the leader.
The whole operation of the Guardians is carried out by the two Supervisors, who are in charge of relaying the leader's orders. "
Pol shook his head and said what he knew.
"Who are the two Supervisors?"
Kieran asked.
"If they didn't change, it should be Rheinster and Yu.
The former is in charge of relaying orders and the latter is in charge of punishment, just like his name suggests. "
Pol shrugged in an unnatural manner.
It seemed like Pol was a little afraid of Yu.
Four to five seconds later, after expelling the fear in his heart, Pol continued.
"Rheinster is a rather gentle person. Most of the time, he speaks softly. I don't know his strength, abilities, and skills because I've never seen him in action."
"As for Yu?
His weapon or some kind of item is a chain. The chain is fast and powerful, it even has killer intents and negative energy attacks. I couldn't even withstand a single hit from it. "
"If you run into Yu, I suggest you engage him in close combat, don't give him the chance to use the chain."
"That's all I know."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."
Pol then stood up and prepared to leave.
Kieran didn't stop him, he initiated a trade and gave him 3,000 Points.
Pol was stunned, looking at Kieran in confusion.
"Information fee."
"Based on my estimation, your information is worth this price."
Kieran replied.
"What a surprise."
Pol took a deep look at Kieran.
From Pol's point of view, a powerhouse like Kieran could easily kill a weakling like him.
Therefore, Pol dared not hesitate when he heard Kieran's question.
He was afraid of death.
He was afraid that Kieran would kill him right away.
Given Kieran's strength, it was too easy for him to do so.
But in the end, he got paid.
"I believe in equivalent exchange."
Kieran said under Pol's gaze.
"Is that so?
Coincidentally, I believe in the same thing.
"In my opinion, the information just now is not worth the price. So, let me tell you another secret. The real dome clock tower is not what you see. If you want to see the real thing, you have to enter it at 7: 01."
Of course, it'll be dangerous. "
Pol shrugged again and walked out of the ice cream shop, soon vanishing into the crowd.
Kieran did not pay any more attention to the man. After he finished his waffle and ice cream, he turned to the owner and said, "Give me another one!"
"Okay, coming right up!"
The owner's delighted voice sounded again.
Two minutes later, an extra large ice cream appeared on the table in front of Kieran.
Another man in a mantle appeared as well.
"What a coincidence.
"We meet again."
Do you remember me? "
