Pak!
The sound of chains breaking was still echoing in his ears. The energy in his heart gushed out and flowed to every part of his body along with his blood.
Kieran squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
It had been a while since he felt the abundance of Origin Force.
The roar of Devil Force.
The cheers of Cardinal Sins Force.
The warmth of Dawn Force.
The strangeness of Plague Force.
The secrets of Saint Thorn Force.
All sorts of things were born from the heart and moved from the heart.
The experience was really nostalgic.
Of course, Kieran's rewards weren't just limited to that.
The burning heat flowed out from his heart, spreading to his left arm and into his palm. There wasn't any fire but the air around his palm was distorted. Lines of words appeared before Kieran's eyes.
[Barrier Break, Devil Burning (Musou → Transcendence)]
[Name: Devil Burning (Transcendence)]

[Consumption: Stamina]

However, it is exceptionally compatible with your bloodline. It has awakened the broken soul in your bloodline, or rather, the broken soul has stimulated its original potential. They are inseparable from each other and complement each other.]
[Note 1: You are relying on learning and bloodline level to master this skill, so you cannot rely on Points and Skill Points to level it up!]
[Note 2: This skill has reached its current limit]
…
Fuuu!
A fiery spark appeared on Kieran's open palm. He looked at the red spark and curled his lips into a grin.
Devil Flame had always been one of Kieran's main means of attack at all times.
Compared to the prerequisites of other skills, Devil Flame was undoubtedly the most direct and powerful.
The unexpected advancement this time allowed it to become even more powerful.
Rank III would become the norm for Devil Flame!
Even without Fire Raven's buff, Devil Flame could directly reach rank V with the combination of charging and its talent.
It was quite a good news for Kieran.
It wasn't the only good news though.
[Barrier Break, Dawn Sword (V + → VII)]
[Dawn Sword VII: When you can truly utilize Dawn Force, it means you are a true Dawn Knight, despite the way you use it being very special. Charge for 2 seconds, consume half of your Stamina to fire out a 100-meter long light sword with V attack, cooldown: none]
[Note: Constitution has reached V (Weak), consumption reduced.]
…
[Barrier Break, Plague Arrow (V + → VII)]
[Plague Arrow V +: You have reached Transcendence in the body tempering art, so you are no doubt a Plague Knight. You have mastered the unique attacking style of the Plague Knight. Spend 1.0 hours to create a Plague Arrow that doesn't require a crossbow to lock onto a target no further than 1800 meters in your sight. Inflict 1 rank IV + piercing damage on the target and inflict a rank IV + Plague Infection (Even if no piercing damage is inflicted, the Plague Infection will spread). You can store Plague Arrows, maximum of 6 arrows]
…
The special skills that were derived from [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] and [Plague Knight Body Tempering Art] welcomed the next level up.
[Dawn Sword], which had reached rank VII, no doubt became Kieran's other killer move with its own unique and powerful method.
[Plague Arrow] was hidden in the dark by Kieran as usual.
Maybe the rank IV + piercing damage was weaker than the rank V attack of [Dawn Sword].
However, the light sword only had one slash power, but it had 6 arrows.
On top of that, it had a rank IV + Plague Infection effect!
Quantity leads to quality.
Kieran understood the saying a long time ago and believed in it without a doubt, so he thought he should hide [Plague Arrow] in the dark.
It was his personality and also the only way to face danger.
It was reasonable not to put all his cards on the table and hide a few cards in his pocket. It wasn't what Principal Romuse told Kieran, it was the guard of the orphanage. The guard's only remaining hand was still fresh in Kieran's mind.
The changes to Devil Force, Dawn Force, and Plague Force were direct.
Cardinal Sins Force couldn't be revealed.
However, Kieran sensed the intimacy between him and Pride, Sloth, and Gluttony. Even the other cardinal sins that were like beasts had an extra level of proficiency in dealing with them.
However, Saint Thorn Force was different from all the other Origin Forces.
It only had some slight changes and even its rank was still at IV.
[Saint Thorn IV: If you don't choose Transform Devil IV or Summon Desire Beast IV, when you come across holy energy, you can reduce 75% of the damage. When the damage received (regardless of holy energy) reaches Average, Strong, Powerful, Extreme, I, II, III, III, IV ranks, you can choose to activate a "Halo of Thorns" of different ranks to reflect 10%, 15%, 30%, 50%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75% (including rank IV) of the damage received. You will also be healed with Light, Medium, Heavy, and Lethally Wounded status (including rank IV). When you choose Transform Devil IV or Summon Desire Beast IV, Saint Thorn's effect won't go away but will be weakened by 30%]
…
There was only one change. When Transform Devil IV or Summon Desire Beast IV, Saint Thorn's effect won't go away but will be weakened from 40% to 30%.
However, that one point alone was enough to excite Kieran.
Let alone a 10% difference.
Even a 1% difference could affect the final outcome of a battle.
Kieran took a deep breath and slightly adjusted the Saint Thorn Force since he knew the saying very well.
It was as tenacious as the Saint Thorn Force.
Being soundless was also the specialty of Saint Thorn Force.
Other than Kieran, no one else could sense the presence of the power.
Even Devil Force and Cardinal Sins Force, which were the opposite of each other, could match Saint Thorn Force perfectly. Although it was a little uncomfortable, it wasn't a problem for Kieran.
Besides that, Kieran sharply noticed that his heart in his chest was getting stronger and stronger.
It felt like he could enter a new rank at the very next moment.
It made Kieran's smile even brighter.
"Just a little bit more!"
Kieran said in his heart.
Then, he looked around.
It was empty all around.
Then …
His smile slowly faded.
His lips were tightly pressed together.
His heart that was beating strongly a moment ago started to ache uncontrollably.
The pain came from his soul.
Kieran covered his chest with his hand, panting heavily like a drowning man who had just climbed out of the water.
"It's gone.
It's all gone.
Not even a copper coin is left. "
Kieran told himself to calm down and face the situation calmly.
However, when he looked at the empty surroundings, he couldn't help but feel sad.
The core of the [Philosopher's Stone] was sucked into the box that was used to assemble the items.
No doubt the boxes that the three kings used to assemble the items were carefully selected, each of them had a certain value.
Kieran sat in the empty secret room, holding the crystal core of the [Philosopher's Stone] that had lost its function. His eyes flashed over a little blankness before it was replaced by determination.
"Broker!"
It's all your fault!
If it wasn't for you, you bastard, I wouldn't have lost so much!
I swear I will make you pay ten, no, a hundred times more! "
Kieran swore in his heart.
At the same time, his attention was placed on Broker's goal.
Why did Broker send him into this dungeon world?
Was it just to mislead him into exposing himself?
Although the misdirection was very subtle and had a high chance of success, if it was Broker, he wouldn't have just one goal.
Besides!
The obvious goal was definitely not Broker's main goal!
He wanted Kieran to leave the big city?
Or maybe …
There was a hidden danger that was fatal to Kieran. Even if he didn't expose himself, it would directly endanger him.
Sitting on the floor, Kieran supported his left elbow with his right hand, his left hand was holding the air, his thumb was supporting his chin and the other four fingers were cupped around his mouth.
He was thinking quietly.
Kieran had quite the confidence in his own strength but he wouldn't be arrogant.
He didn't think leaving the big city for a short period of time would cause any irreversible changes.
After all, the big city was different from other places.
The city had its own rules and as long as one was careful enough, there would be an absolutely safe shelter.
As for whether or not Broker had the ability to remove this shelter?
Kieran wasn't sure.
But he was sure that even if Broker had the ability, he wouldn't do it unless he wanted to make everyone in the big city his enemy or even the whole city itself.
The malicious wind appeared and was destroyed. The rewards before his eyes were enough to tell Kieran that the big city had quite a set of defense mechanisms, it wasn't just some robot guards on the surface.
But the more it was so, the more uneasy Kieran was.
Especially when it came to the so-called 'rewards'.
He wasn't familiar with all of this, he was a stranger to it all.
As for Broker?
He must have known everything like the back of his hand.
"I have to leave this place as soon as possible!"
Kieran made up his mind.
No matter what Broker's goal was, he had to do it.
Then, Kieran suddenly jolted.
He had a feeling that this might very well be one of Broker's goals!
There was only one way for players to quickly leave the dungeon world, which was to excavate the dungeon world's secrets and go beyond the norm.
Doing so would naturally draw out enemies that were beyond imagination.
And in the current dungeon world …
Kieran squinted his eyes, put down his hands and tapped his knees with his right hand.
It was one of his habits.
Whenever Kieran encountered a difficult problem, he would always do it.
Just as Kieran was hesitating, he sensed movements above his head.
The most eye-catching one was the man named Anna.
Anna was very obvious in Kieran's Intuition, like a searchlight, to the point that the other followers were insignificant. Of course, some of them purposely hid in Anna's light.
"Why are you so impatient?"
Kieran slowly stood up.
He knew what these guys were after.
Victor!
[Philosopher's Stone]!
Ring City's treasures!
Everything was like a fatal temptation, attracting these guys.
Although all the treasures were turned into nothingness, these guys didn't know.
Without a doubt, if this incident wasn't dealt with properly, it would cause more unnecessary trouble.
With the thought in mind, Kieran put the crystal core of [Philosopher's Stone] into his shirt pocket and walked back to the surface.
…
Because of the repair shop, Leaf Dining had to postpone the prototyping time for a while.
It didn't shut Anna's door when he came back.
However, Anna didn't feel happy at all, instead, he looked awkward.
"I'm sorry, I should come back tomorrow.
But … "
Anna said to Starbeck apologetically.
Behind Anna, Huai Cuike also expressed his apology.
As for the others who hid in their mantles, they didn't even bat an eye at Starbeck, all of them were staring at Victor.
One of them even interrupted Anna's words impatiently.
"Victor!"
"Do you think your little tricks can fool me?"
Hand over the [Philosopher's Stone]!
Hand over the treasures of Ring City! "
The heavy voice had unconcealable excitement, causing his voice to be very loud. The man's actions were even more agitated. He jumped over Anna, who was apologizing, and went straight to the bar counter, slamming his palm on the counter.
Bang!
The wooden counter was instantly smashed into pieces.
The scene scared Starbeck, who was standing behind the counter.
"Hey, is this the backer you've chosen?"
Not really … Huh?
Aaaaaaaah! "
The man mocked with a cold laugh, but before he finished, he screamed in agony.
Without a sound, red flames appeared out of nowhere and engulfed the man's body.
In an instant, the man turned into a giant torch.
Amidst the raging flames, the sound of footsteps became clearer.
Dak, Dak, Dak.
