Finally, Liam held an ultimate skill in his hand. Although one would always receive ohrough the css ge, its power depended on the evaluation of the fight.

  Naturally there were other ways to get ultimate skills, but only this one would be tailor made for his css.

  With the reward in hand, the quest was naturally pleted. But Gana was not do.

  “Bleary Mirage, it is a joyous occasion for us to wele one more holy tempest. But unfortunately, we don’t have time to celebrate.

  Do you know why only the three of us are gathered here?”

  Gana poi Demuni and Lerg.

  “It’s because our lineage is embroiled in fierce fights. Now that you joined us, some of this responsibility must be carried by you as well.”

  Liam stayed calm as he listened. In real life he might pin about being tricked, but in the game one could never have enough quests.

  “Newbie, why don’t you visit Enmega in Red Mist City. She could surely need your help.”

  Liam nodded, accepting the quest. But he didn’t decide to ght now. Red Mist City was a human city which was stantly g with the hellish Infernals.

  But the biggest danger of this quest weren’t the monsters but the infernal pyers.

  In Fate of aboul pyers belonging to hostile fas could freely attack each other. Naturally pyers loved doing so to interfere in each other’s quests.

  Thus, Liam o wait until his alleys grabbed some of the infernals’ attention before he dared to e close to their territory. Even as a pro he couldn’t deal with a horde of enemies.

  However, outwardly he reassured Gana happily while asking the NPC for information.

  A few seds ter Liam got everything he needed, saying his goodbyes to the three holy tempests.

  Finally, I got my css. What should I do now?

  Liam was in a good mood, strolling along the mountain path while pting his moves.

  At the same time, he did a quick check of his status.

  A lot has ged. Now my equipment is gging behind. Maybe I should look for a few treasure chests.

  Liam pondered for a while, remembering treasure chests he could loot before other pyers arrived.

  Making his way down the mountain, he leisurely chatted with his friends.

  [Bleary Mirage: How is everyone doing?]

  [Radiant Shield: Me and Bloody Edge have made tact with the holy nephilim.]

  [Bleary Mirage: Not bad.]

  [Silver Bde: I have found the Winged Vanguard.]

  [Bleary Mirage: Good. Focus on the quest, you need a good evaluation for yical vanguard css.]

  [Silver Bde: Yeah.]

  [Cye: MIRAGE! I need help.]

  [Bleary Mirage: What? I ’t help with your css quest.]

  [Cye: I did everything as you told me. But then I found some secret passage aered a ciragi. Now my quest ged.]

  Bleary Mirage read the message with a frown. His mind moved quickly, trying to figure out what happeo Cye. Suddenly his eyes opened wide.

  [Bleary Mirage: Do those magi have a blue their robes?]

  [Cye: Yes!]

  Bleary Mirage was stunned. He never expected Cye to find the Lightning Hawk alliance.

  In Fate of aboul there were beasts born fic, embodiments of their respective elements. And there were secret anizations worshiping these beasts.

  The Lightning Hawk Alliance was one of these anizations. But their whereabouts were usually extremely hidden and even ging from time to time.

  Thus, even Liam couldn’t pinpoint them.

  Cye’s luck is unbelievable…

  [Bleary Mirage: Cye, you found a secret anization called Lightning Hawk Alliance. Did your quest really ge after talking to them?]

  [Cye: Yes, really really.]

  [Bleary Mirage: Alright. Then how about you look for some treasures for a while. Let’s all get our csses first before helping with yours.]

  [Cye: But… how long will this take?]

  [Bleary Mirage: A few hours I guess.]

  [Cye: Ok…]

  Seeing that Cye relutly agreed, Liam urged the others to plete their quests.

  If Liam wasn’t mistaken ight have found a unique css. Those were immensely powerful, but it was unusual that she could learn it at level 10.

  For example, the chaotic tempest Liam set his eyes on was a unique css but could only be learned from level 50 and after solving the race quest inal nephilim.

  Liam rummaged through his memories, but he stopped when his target appeared in front of his eyes.

  A small distance away from the main street was a block of houses f a ring with a rge yard inside.

  Twh looking men in bck clothes stood at the entrance, one of them surprisingly from the orc race.

  Liam checked their status, finding their names written in red.

  [Bloody Gall banditRank: on

  Level: 11

  HP: 1550/1550]

  This was something uo Duabalis City. Only here would one find enemies withiy area.

  Sihe nephilim were rather x in their rules, only the core city area was kept save. Venturing out all kinds of monsters could be met.

  Bandits also liked to settle here after being chased away from their hions.

  However, most pyers wouldn’t think this deeply. For them it was simply ‘see enemy, kill enemy’.

  Liam also didn’t e for some eborate reason other than hoping to grab some loot.

  With a grieran prepared for the fight, taking out two skillbooks. They were [Cross Ssh] and [Holy Tempest].

  A simple thought was enough to learn those, granting him two new skills.

  Liam approached the guards with a fident stride.

  “Halt!”

  “Who goes there!”

  Seeing that the audacious nephilim didn’t stop, the two bandits immediately attacked.

  Liam took a deep breath as he readied his swords. He didn’t dodge the first attacks, deg to trade damage and stag holy marks on his enemies.

  It worked…

  Liam grinned as he saw the symbol above the bandits’ heads. A sed ter he attacked again before dodgiween the oppos aering the yard behind them.

  “Stht there!”

  The two bandits hollered angrily as they followed him.

  Inside, Liam was met with a chaotic se. Tables and chairs were spread wildly on a stone square. Clothes hung form some lines. A few bandits versed in groups.

  Towards one side was a small pile of loot. Two treasure chests peeked out, entig Liam.

  That’s the pce.

  Liam grinned faintly as he moved like the wind. He stabbed his two swords towards other oppos, aggroing awo bandits, before directly activating [Holy Tempest].

  A shimmering, golden energy immediately streamed towards Liam, pying around his skin. He felt his body lightening up, every movement feeling more natural.

  A sword came form behind his head. Liam didn’t o look as he dao the side.

  With a griurhe atta kind.

  [-198!]

  [-99!]

  With holy tempest activated the holy marks on the bandits’ head tio stack dangerously.

  But time was tig in the er of Liam’s eyes.

  [Holy Tempest: 7s... 6s…]

  “Intruder! Do you know who you are messing with?”

  One of the bandits shouted angrily as he hacked towards Liam. The veteran dodged perfectly without any wasted movements, brining himself in position for a [Double Ssh].

  [Stance -9]

  Liam’s swords raced through the air. Another holy mark lied before his sed sword triggered them.

  [-210!]

  [-324!]

  [-494!]

  A rge amount of damage hit the first enemy as four holy marks exploded above his head. Naturally the others weren’t spared as well.

  The beautiful move immediately allowed Liam to recover a lot of stance while pushing holy tempest’s remaining duration above 20 seds.

  Liam was satisfied with his opening. Subsequently he tihe fight, evading the bandits with his rge amount of stand stag holy marks tinuesly.

  A few seds ter the first two bandits dropped to the floor. Instead of getting rid of the others as well, Liam jumped over a table, his swords aiming for a new group of enemies.

  “Where do you e from?! Brothers, attack!”

  Liam was instantly embroiled in a fight against five oppos. But this was exactly what he wanted as it allowed him to stantly uphold some holy marks.

  With a perfect rotation of attacks, using [Cross Ssh] and [Holy Magic Wave] to apply holy marks and [Brutal Strike] as well as [Double Ssh] ter them, he could guarantee an almost endless supply of stance.

  Unfortunately, his st skill was difficult to use in solo fights as it required a casting time of two seds.

  Thus, he could only ig for now as he worked himself through the bandits.

  The oppos fell one by one under his bde. Liam could already see himself opening the treasure chest when a rumble suddenly spread within the yard.

  A door almost flew out of its hinges as a burly man with tattoos on his face came out.

  “What’s going on here?!”
