When Kieran returned to the underground of Ring City through the tunnel that Du left behind, Du had already moved everything from the city's treasure vault to the underground tunnel.
Du's digging and moving speed was much faster than Kieran expected.
Furthermore, this underground chamber was far deeper and larger than he had imagined.
The depth of this underground chamber was a full thousand meters.
It was as big as a football field.
More importantly, even with such a large area, it was still filled with all kinds of boxes.
"Well done, Du."
Kieran wasn't stingy with his compliments when he saw the bountiful loot.
"For you, I won't hesitate!"
Du knelt down on one knee and accepted Kieran's compliments with an excited look.
[Seodi Stone] and [Mesly Ring] might be operated differently, but from a certain aspect, the Domination effect was exactly the same.
At least to Du, Kieran was its life's faith after it came to its senses.
Therefore, Du held nothing back for Kieran.
"My lord, when I emptied this treasure vault, I found a smaller one not far away from it.
But there are many layers of mystical markings on it, so I dared not move recklessly. "
Du reported.
"A smaller treasury?"
It should be the three kings' private treasure vault. "
Kieran wasn't surprised by Du's discovery.
Most of the time, the city's treasure vault belonged to the king, but the king's treasure vault might not necessarily belong to the city.
It was the same for Ring City, which was already under construction.
Likewise, the treasures hidden in the private treasure vault would be of a higher level.
However, it was not an easy task to 'open' this private treasury.
The mystical markings on it would be the biggest obstacle, especially at a time like this. The slightest movement would be noticed by the three kings and all his previous efforts would go to waste.
A bird in the hand was better than ten in the bush.
Kieran knew the saying very well, so he stood at the entrance of the secret room and looked ahead.
Du had categorized the items when it was moving them.
The left-hand side was filled with equipment and items.
The right-hand side was filled with boxes of Crossing Coins.
A path wide enough for three people to walk side by side was left in the middle.
There were more than 200 pieces of equipment and items, and more than 500 boxes of Crossing Coins.
Half of the equipment and items were Magic rank while the rest were Rare rank. There were only a few Legendary rank items and every single one of them was marked as unable to be brought out of the dungeon.
This made Kieran frown.
To Kieran, there was nothing sadder than not being able to take away a large pile of spoils of war.
Fortunately, Kieran quickly thought of another way to solve the problem.
A deal!
Using these items that couldn't be taken away to exchange for items that could be taken away.
Or what he needed.
In his heart, Kieran already had the best candidate.
Kieran turned around and looked at the Crossing Coin.
Similar to the equipment and items, more than half of the 500 boxes of Crossing Coins were copper coins, less than half were silver coins, and there was only one box of gold coins, and it was a small box that could only hold 100 gold coins.
It was much less than he had imagined.
Still, Kieran wasn't disappointed.
He knew all the wealth in Ring City was his.
No one could take it away.
If it wasn't here, it must be in the three kings' personal treasure vault.
He would just have to bring it back later.
Now?
Kieran turned to Du.
"Can your Teleportation Formation keep moving all these things?"
Kieran pointed at the equipment and items.
"It'll be hard to do it once.
"But if it's twice, there's no problem."
The boxes are big and take up a lot of space, so it won't take up much space if we take the things out.
"Moreover, apart from the casting materials I have on me, I've also stored enough casting materials in the temporary, hidden stronghold that can carry out at least five teleportations."
Du gave Kieran good news.
"Very well.
Take out all the equipment and items and move them all away. "
After Kieran gave the order, Du moved out.
Without further attention, Kieran walked to the boxes of Crossing Coins.
He looked at the boxes of copper and silver coins that cost 500 gold coins each.
Once he thought about the profit from exchanging them for gold coins …
Kieran felt his heart ache a little.
'If only I could exchange them all for gold coins!'
He couldn't help but think this way.
However, with the thought lingering in his mind, Kieran released Gluttony because he knew what he needed the most right now was to regain his strength.
Only when he regained his strength would he and Starbeck be safe and have the chance to get more valuable spoils of war.
Even though it would cost him a little, he had to bear it.
He could always look for the three kings to make up for it.
It was their fault that they wasted their resources.
Gluttony had been waiting for a long time, so when Kieran released him, he bolted towards the boxes of copper coins in Kieran's palm like a wild horse.
Using Kieran's palm, Gluttony filled the boxes with the energy of devouring, and within a breath's time, the whole box of copper coins was corroded.
Then, the second box, the third box …
After 290 boxes, a total of 145000 copper coins were devoured, Kieran's attributes skyrocketed.
With Spirit as the core and Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Intuition as support, the converted energy started to break through the seal layer by layer. Kieran didn't stop there.
He walked towards the 209 boxes of silver coins.
Since each box was 500 silver coins, 209 boxes would cost 104500 silver coins, which would be 3135000 copper coins.
If it was converted to gold coins, it would be 3400 + gold coins.
Even though the Crossing Gold Coin had some mystical properties, it was nothing compared to the quantity of the coin.
Quantity was enough to trigger a qualitative change!
Starting from SS-, Kieran's attributes skyrocketed.
SSS!
Advance Rank!
Rank II!
Rank III!
…
After Du moved all the items and equipment into the temporary hideout and returned to the underground, it was shocked to find the Crossing Coins that were still glowing a moment ago had rotted away.
More than 200 boxes of copper coins.
More than 200 boxes of silver coins.
They were like lumps of soil, scattered in the box, and even the box looked shabby.
However, the one that concerned Du the most was Kieran!
There wasn't any burst of aura.
There wasn't any exaggeration either.
He just stood there, no changes to how he was when he left.
However, it gave Du the feeling that some terrifying existence was slowly waking up.
What was it?
Du couldn't see.
It didn't have the heart to ask.
All it knew was that the lord it followed was getting stronger.
It was a good thing!
Du, who was covered in scales, stood respectfully with its hands by its side. It looked at its master with anticipation as he walked to the only box of gold coins.
Kieran didn't care about Du's anticipation.
His attention was captivated by his attributes.
Strength: II (Strong)
Agility: II (Strong)
Constitution: III (Strong)
Spirit: IV (Weak)
Intuition: II (Weak)
…
Other than Spirit, all his other attributes returned to their original levels.
With each step Kieran took, he could hear the blood in his body rumbling like a raging river.
If he wasn't used to using [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] to control his body, Kieran couldn't imagine what kind of terrible state he would be in right now.
Maybe a single step would allow him to cross a hundred meters and then … crash into a wall?
Then, like an excavator, he moved forward without stopping until the forward force dissipated.
If he really ended up like that, it would be terrible!
Although he was a thousand meters away from the ground, if he really moved like that, there was a high chance he would be discovered.
In fact, if he didn't have the good habits he cultivated before, after his strength skyrocketed, he would lose control of his aura and it would be enough to expose his existence.
Knowing that, Kieran started to use [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] to get used to his body and control it.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
The rumbling blood calmed down.
His excited spirit calmed down.
When Kieran walked back to the box of gold coins, his body had mostly returned to normal.
However, it wasn't 100% control!
He still felt a little uncomfortable.
Even though he carved [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] into his bones and turned it into his instinct, it was still hard for him to get used to the skyrocketing strength in a short period of time.
He would need at least one to two hours to reach the perfect form Kieran had in mind.
However, Kieran didn't stop right away. He opened the box of gold coins.
He had to seize every second he had.
The moment the box was opened, the golden brilliance shone out.
Kieran, who was standing in front of the box, was instantly enveloped by the golden brilliance.
Kieran saw the chains again.
However, the difference was that the black, tiny, and dense chains that bound his body and limbs were all gone.
There were only six of the transparent, hair-like chains that had sunk into its head!
Five of them were as thick as Kieran remembered.
The last one was a lot thinner.
The bigger change was the faintly discernible chains that were flickering non-stop.
The flickering of the chains became very slow, like a feeble fish that could die at any moment.
Kieran tried to grab one of the chains.
He easily grabbed the nearest one in his hand.
Similar to the first time.
The chains were cold.
Disgust rose in Kieran's heart.
But …
This chain wasn't as hard as before!
The moment Kieran's hand touched the chain, he was sure of it.
Instinctively, Kieran tightened his grip.
Kak!
Without the black chains restraining him, Kieran regained his strength and easily pulled the chain to the limit. Just as the chain was about to break, the intense sense of danger rose in his heart again.
Without a second thought, Kieran, who trusted his instinct, let go of the flickering chain.
He allowed the gold coin's power to impact the transparent, hair-like chains.
Kak!
One of the thinnest chains was broken.
At the same time, Kieran returned to the underground secret room.
After glancing over his Spirit attribute, which had changed from IV (Weak) to IV (Secondary), Kieran frowned hard.
It wasn't because of the change in his Spirit attribute, but because of the sense of danger.
"What is that?"
It wasn't the first time Kieran felt the sense of danger.
Earlier, when he touched the flickering chains, something like this had happened.
And this time, even after most of his attributes had returned to their original state, such a situation still occurred.
Even …
The sense of danger didn't diminish.
Instead, it became brighter and denser.
It felt like a bucket of congealed blood was slowly spilling out.
"Is it the seal?
Or is it the so-called … "
"Unique dungeon?"
Kieran stood there in deep thought.
Whether it was the former or the latter, everything told Kieran that he still didn't understand the place he was in.
It wasn't just referring to Ai City or Ring City before their eyes.
It was a deeper world.
Let's use the word 'world' to describe it.
Kieran didn't know how to describe what he saw just now.
That place was supposed to be inside his body, but it seemed to be a vast world. If everything was real, then … what was further away?
That dangerous existence, is it further away? '
Question after question popped up in Kieran's mind.
However, it didn't stop him from looking at Du.
"Where's the smaller treasure vault?"
Kieran asked.
"My lord, please follow me," Du said.
He then turned around to the other side of the secret room, pushed open a sealed secret door, and went up.
Kieran followed behind him and walked quickly up the mountain.
He was determined to get his hands on that small treasure vault!
At any time, strength was the most important thing.
When one had to make a choice, it wasn't fate toying with them or the cruelty of reality, it was just that one wasn't strong enough.
As long as one was strong enough, one didn't need to make a choice.
As long as one was strong enough, one could flatten everything.
Or …
It was possible to flatten everything.
Kieran knew it.
Similarly, Viktor knew this as well.
He desperately needed strength.
Therefore, he chose to set up the Battle of Winter Night.
Unfortunately, accidents kept happening, causing his efforts to fall short.
He knew he had to leave Ring City now.
However, he was unwilling to leave just like that.
He had lost everything in the outside world, including the reputation and position that he had built up over the years.
If he were to go back in such an ugly state, who knew how long it would take for him to make a comeback?
Therefore, after taking a big detour, he returned to Ring City. He went through the outermost ring and carefully approached the core of Ring City: the treasure vault!
He needed something as compensation!
What else was better than Ring City's treasure vault?
Before the convoy left King City, he purposely paid attention to the location of the treasure vault.
And at this moment, it came in handy.
Looking at the layers of mystical markings on the door, Viktor went into deep thought.
If he had enough time, he could break the mystical markings.
But now?
"I'll have to break it with brute force and take the most valuable items before the three kings return!"
Viktor made up his mind and made his move without a second thought.
Bang Bang Bang!
A thin rapier appeared in Viktor's hand.
Viktor hurled the rapier towards the door of the treasure vault.
The rapier and the mystical markings clashed.
Venom, acid, fire, and lightning were everywhere.
However, none of them caused any substantial damage to the rapier.
Bang!
In the end, the rapier plunged into the door.
Viktor picked up the rapier with a smile on his face and pushed open the door to the treasury.
Then …
His smile froze.
