How many players were there in the big city?
No one would be able to tell.
However, most of the veterans were certain that after the initial stage of the game and the Witch's War, the number of players had been increasing.
Especially recently, the number of newbie players increased explosively.
However, all the veterans knew one thing in their hearts.
Among this batch of new players, a considerable portion of them would be unknown to the public.
Some even came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
They couldn't even leave their mark in the big city.
Only a small number of lucky fellows were able to leave their names behind.
It was almost impossible for them to become famous and be known by the majority of the players.
It wasn't something that could be achieved by luck alone.
It required another special trait.
Some people were born with the special trait.
Some people were tempered and trained to be like that.
Such people might be buried in the shadows for a short period of time, but once the opportunity arose, they would shine their own light.
Dazzling and blinding.
For example, Kieran.
The battle that happened just now quickly spread among the players.
Shock!
Doubt!
Disbelief and all sorts of emotions eventually turned into deep shock along with the burning street block.
Flame Emperor!
Fire Emperor!
The Flaming Devil!
The title started to spread like wildfire.
Of course, Kieran who just returned to 13th Wallway Street from Harvest Inn didn't pay much attention to the news.
Even though Lawless had used a 'lively' manner to describe the title to him during the gathering just now, causing a bunch of players to cooperate and shout in surprise, Kieran maintained his calm throughout the whole process.
He was very clear about his own strength and position.
He had just entered the Advanced Rank and he had only touched the threshold of the underground game.
The title was nothing more than the exclamations of the ignorant.
The ones in the core might laugh in disdain.
Even without those in the core, those who came in contact with the game earlier than him and crossed the threshold were enough to show their disdain to him.
So, after rejecting Lawless' invitation to play all night, Kieran returned to his room.
He wanted to increase his strength faster!
It wasn't just to deal with the trouble that such a title would attract, there was also Broker!
Kieran didn't have any more evidence but his instinct told him that Broker was up to something big.
At the same time, Kieran was sure that once Broker succeeded, his life would not be easy.
So, after sending a message to Allen, Kieran took out [Emerder's Deal].
"The transaction to repair Emerder requires 1 million points. Repair: Yes/No?"
"Yes!"
Kieran said.
Instantly, the circular [Emerder's Deal] once again emanated a reserved golden radiance.
More golden radiance filled the entire room. The former was like a whale sucking in water, greedily absorbing the golden radiance.
The mottled rust was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Those gaps were quickly filled up.
The entire disc was restored to its original appearance.
It revealed the mystical runes engraved on the plate.
The mystical runes were so profound that even with Pro level [Mystical Knowledge], Kieran couldn't decipher a thing or two.
He could only guess that it was some kind of mystical runes with a special mark.
For example, if [Mystical Knowledge] was a common language, the mystical runes with a special mark would be some obscure language that was hard to understand.
Though, it didn't stop Kieran from using [Emerder's Deal].
He took out many spoils of war and placed them into the disc. The disc was only the size of a palm at first but as the items were placed in, it started to grow bigger and bigger, as though no matter how many items Kieran put in, it would be able to hold them all.
When he felt it was enough, Kieran stated his request.
"I wish to acquire the advanced mystical skill of [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art]!"
That's right!
It was the advanced mystical skill of [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art]!
In fact, after acquiring [Emerder's Deal], Kieran had been thinking about how to use this special item to enhance his own strength.
For a player, there were only two ways to enhance their strength.
First, equipment.
Second, skills.
Both of them had a huge similarity: most of the equipment and skills could be acquired from dungeon worlds! Or traded from other players!
In order to truly utilize [Emerder's Deal's value], Kieran had to discard the similarity.
After disregarding the similarity, Kieran suddenly realized he only had one goal left.
[Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art]!
As for [Fusion Heart]?
Different from [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art], Kieran had a certain idea on how to enhance [Fusion Heart] but [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] …
Although it was only Musou level and still one rank away from Transcendence.
Still, it was just one rank!
For Kieran's current state, the cost of one rank wasn't much with the Origin Force -30% consumption.
If everything went smoothly, he would be able to upgrade [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] to Transcendence after two dungeon runs.
What about after Transcendence?
It would be stagnant!
It wasn't something that Kieran was willing to see.
As one of his core forces, once he fell into a stagnant state, his strength would definitely be greatly affected.
By then, even if the other core power [Fusion Heart] could advance by leaps and bounds, it would be useless.
Kieran still had to worry about the repulsion!
[Fusion Heart]'s repulsion wasn't a joke.
Any mishap and he would end up as a puppet of flesh and blood!
It must be balanced!
The internal balance of [Fusion Heart]!
Or, it must be the balance of the external powers!
As for what Dawn Force could do, no one had a better say than Kieran, the owner of the Dawn Force.
Therefore, if it was possible, Kieran hoped to acquire the advanced mystical skill of [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art]. When he was training [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art], Kieran mentioned more than once that when [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] reached Transcendence, he would deduce the next stage of the mystical skill.
But it was just a thought.
He knew very well that it was impossible!
Kieran would never belittle himself nor would he be arrogant.
[Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] was a compulsory mystical skill for the Church of Dawn's Knight. It was created by countless generations of people with unparalleled intellect.
There might even be a higher realm being added into it, like a God!
How could it be that easy to advance a mystical skill created by so many people?
Even if Kieran acquired the basic part and wasn't blindly groping an elephant anymore, the advanced part wasn't something he could create alone in a short period of time.
Originally, Kieran already had other plans in mind.
However, the appearance of [Emerder's Deal] allowed him to see new hope.
Huu!
After placing the items in, Kieran took a deep breath and stared at [Emerder's Deal].
After Kieran stopped putting in the items, the enlarged disc started to shine brightly.
The shine was like special words, emanating a special meaning in Kieran's eyes.
Not enough!
You didn't put in enough items!
…
Kieran was stunned when he saw the special words.
Then, he curled his lips into a smile.
