Kieran flipped his body in mid-air and landed on his feet.
However, he did not manage to regain his footing.
He staggered a few steps before landing on one knee.
The pain on the outside of his abdomen made Kieran take a deep breath.
Compared to the pain on his body, he was more concerned about his eyes.
Layers of overlapping shadows filled his vision in a blurry manner.
Fortunately, everything returned to normal after a few seconds.
Kieran let out a long sigh of relief.
Although returning to the game lobby could heal all sorts of injuries, including disabilities, the cost was still staggering.
More importantly, if his eyes were damaged, the dungeon world he was currently in would become extremely difficult.
Some tasks that could be easily completed would become incomparably difficult.
The mission, which was already difficult to begin with, would become impossible to complete.
It was not something that Kieran wanted to see happen.
If he was one step ahead, he would always be ahead.
If he was one step behind, he would always be behind.
If he was already in the lead, he would always be in the lead.
In the underground game, this philosophy had been carved into Kieran's soul.
"How are you feeling?"
Schmidt ran over and tried to help Kieran up.
"I'm fine!"
Kieran waved his hand and clenched his teeth as he stood up. The pain on the outside of his abdomen felt like it was being sliced by a knife.
However, Kieran did not look at his wounds. He was staring at the meteorite crater in front of him.
"I don't even have the right to participate?"
Kieran muttered to himself.
He was sure that the profound feeling he had felt was coming from that unknown stone door.
Even though Kieran had tried his best to guess that the enemy that Nikorei had teamed up with the five major societies to deal with was not a simple one, he had never thought that he would not even be able to open the door to that place.
More accurately, he could not even get close to it.
It made Kieran's heart turn gloomy.
Kieran looked calm on the outside, but he was a proud person.
After obtaining the fused heart, although he still maintained his cautious and careful nature out of habit, there was still a hint of negligence.
This was because he believed that he could rely on his Devil Transformation and Summon Beasts to dominate most of the dungeons he was about to enter.
His battle with the East Coast mystics had solidified his belief in the matter.
However, the scene before him completely woke Kieran up.
"If you don't even have the right to participate, how can you talk about running amok?"
Kieran mocked himself with a smile.
But soon, he stopped mocking himself.
He looked at the crater in front of him and said with a solemn expression.
"Wait for me!"
"Wait for me!"
"Next time, next time!"
His voice was getting softer and softer. Even Schmidt, who was standing beside Kieran, couldn't hear what Kieran was saying.
After speaking, Kieran turned around and left without any hesitation.
"2567, what's wrong?"
Schmidt looked at his friend in confusion.
"Back to the West Coast!"
"I have something to take care of!"
Kieran said as he quickened his steps.
He was eager to return to the West Coast.
No one objected to Kieran's suggestion.
Charles, who was in a weakened state after a single spellcasting session, wanted to investigate, but he didn't have the strength to do so.
Raul and Cidney, who were supposed to be looking for their friend, Rukie, heard what Kieran had said and knew that their friend was probably dead.
Schmidt had no reason to stay.
After all, he was just a follower.
In the trailer compartment of the trailer.
Charles was lying on the bed with a pillow under his head. He was holding his beloved pipe, but there was no tobacco in it.
It was just an empty pipe.
The Master Alchemist knew his body's condition very well.
If he wanted to recover quickly, he wouldn't even touch tobacco for the next month.
That wasn't the biggest headache for him though.
Another spellcasting session had depleted his spellcasting materials.
It had taken him three years to collect all of them.
Some of them were even rarer.
He didn't know how long it would take for him to collect them again.
However, compared to Kieran's condition, it was nothing.
Charles looked at Kieran, who was doing his alchemy experiments not far away.
Three days ago, Kieran had been in this mode ever since he had gotten into the car.
He didn't say a word, ate, took a short break, and continued his alchemy experiments.
He was like a robot.
Charles frowned.
He didn't know that something like that would happen.
If he had known, he wouldn't have let Kieran investigate.
He knew how much of a blow it would be to a powerful young man.
If he wasn't careful, he would …
With that in mind, Charles thought he had to talk to Kieran.
“2567。”
The Master Alchemist cleared his throat and started to think about how to start the conversation.
Charles was a humorous person by nature, so he wasn't good at this kind of serious conversation.
It was simply too difficult for him.
But at this time, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
It was related to a young man's future.
"You know, for a young man, one failure is nothing.
Failure is a necessary experience for anyone. I've faced countless failures, just like the basic alchemy experiment you are doing now. Back then, I spent four weeks to get the hang of it! "
"So …"
Charles wanted to lead the conversation back to the investigation three days ago.
However, before he could finish, Kieran interrupted him.
"Master, I'm done!"
Kieran said.
"Yes, yes, I know. Don't …"
"What?!
What did you say?! "
Charles said out of instinct. He only realized what Kieran was talking about.
The Master Alchemist ignored his weak body and forced himself to sit up.
When he took the hardened pelt from Kieran, his eyes widened.
"Done!
I really did it!
"It took eight days, no, a week to complete it!"
Charles muttered to himself.
He didn't finish what he had said before.
He spent four weeks to get the hang of it, then another four weeks to complete the basic alchemy experiment.
However, Kieran had done it in a week!
He had only ever seen such talent in Nikorei.
Charles thought of the question he had asked Kieran when he first met him.
What do you think alchemy is?
Alchemy is the technique to create gold, elixirs, and elixirs of immortality. That is what I think alchemy is!
The answer rang in Charles' ears again.
Before this, he did not take it seriously. Of course, he did not think it was a joke.
Quite the contrary, he admired Kieran for being able to say such words.
Otherwise, he would not have taught Kieran alchemy.
But now …
He started to take it seriously.
There were many people who said the same thing!
But those who had the same talent but said the same thing …
"Is this your blessing, teacher?"
Charles thought in his heart.
At this time, the Master Alchemist had already forgotten his original intention.
An uncontrollable thought rose from the bottom of his heart.
Kieran did not notice Charles' unusual behavior. He was looking at the notification that popped up in his vision.

"Biology of Mystical Beings, Potionology, Astrology, and Alchemy are all here!
I can finally level up my Mystical Knowledge! "
Kieran took a deep breath.
He had waited for this day for too long.
Even though only a little time had passed in the real world, it felt like years to him.
Then, before Kieran could plan his skill leveling plan …
He sensed Charles' slightly strange gaze.
It was a look of anticipation and pleading.
"Master, what's wrong?
Did I make a mistake in my work? "
Kieran asked in confusion.
"No, no!
"Everything is fine!"
It's just that … "
Charles quickly shook his head, looking embarrassed. After some hesitation, he clenched his teeth and said, "2567, are you willing to learn alchemy from me? Although you will surpass me in the future with Rei's guidance, if it's possible, I hope you can learn alchemy from me before Rei returns! "
"Learn alchemy from you?"
Kieran was stunned for a moment before he understood.
It was not the first time he had experienced something like this.
Another person who was shocked by his talent.
Just like the old Knight.
Kieran could not explain his talent. Even if he was self-studying, he had the help of the system.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to master a skill in such a short time.
Of course, he would not explain such incomprehensible things to the natives, as it would only cause more trouble.
After some thought, Kieran asked in a careful and probing tone.
"Can I learn how to summon meteors from you?"
"Of course!"
Charles answered without a second thought.
The first one was earlier than expected.
He had gone out to eat with his friends and came back earlier than expected.
Therefore, he did not have to wait for the night. He could update the chapter in the afternoon.
