The next day, Shin and the others did their usual routine as nothing special happened. And after doing their morning exercise and eating their breakfast, Arthur persistently urged Shin to log in back in the ga so that they could finally start his quest.
Since Shin didn't have anything to do for today, he decided to agree with him and went back to the ga. He also couldn't refuse Arthur when the guy offered him so teorite that he was looking for.
But before proceeding to do Arthur's quest, Shin went to the Hand of Midas Trading Firm first to take care of the other things that he kept on delaying up until now.
First, he went to his mail to get the teorites that Arthur had sent him before heading to the Hand of Midas Trading Firm to finally take care of the things that he kept on delaying up until now. And in there, he first t Black Hamr to ask the blacksmith to finally upgrade his equipnt.
Shin handed over all of the equipnt set that he got as a reward for winning the Shadow Ranking Cup alongside the other rewards that he got from the quests that he had done so far. He also gave all of the materials that he could give from his inventory space.
Seeing all of the equipnt and materials in front of him, Black Hamr couldn't help but stare blankly at Shin, especially that all of them were in the highest quality that they could be.
"This should be enough to complete my [Apocalypse Equipnt Set] and main weapon, am I right?" said Shin while crossing his arms in front of him.
Hearing that, Black Hamr shifted his gaze between Shin and the other small mountain of materials and equipnt in front of him before slightly nodding his head. "These things are more than enough. Way more than enough! I can even upgrade the entire set into the peak of Mithril Rank which is comparable to the Equipnt Set that young master Arthur is wearing."
He then paused for a mont and looked at Shin's current equipnt set which was the [Dusk and Dawn Equipnt Set] before adding. "In fact, I can also upgrade that set of yours too."
"It may be a little inferior to the upgraded version of the [Apocalypse Equipnt Set], but it should be at least in the lower class of the Mithril Rank," he clarified.
"Is that so? Then take them too!" said Shin as he unequipped his current equipnt and handed them over to Black Hamr without showing any hint of hesitation.
Seeing that, the blacksmith slightly nodded his head while accepting the equipnt set and staring blankly at Shin who was now wearing a set of beginner's clothes.
While Black Hamr was busy collecting everything to his own inventory, Shin suddenly rembered sothing and suddenly asked. "How long is it going to take?"
The blacksmith thought for a few monts before quickly replying. "It will take a whole day at the very least, of course, it is in-ga ti."
"Is that so?" muttered Shin to himself before falling in deep thought and asking. "Can I watch you reforge them? I'm quite interested in forging right now, so I am hoping to learn a thing or two from the best Blacksmith of the ga."
Black Hamr was slightly taken aback by those words and stared at Shin with a blank face before nodding his head unconsciously.
In the anti, Shin couldn't help but have a triumph pose inside his head the mont he heard that Black Hamr agreed to him.
Given that, Shin inford Arthur that he needed to take care of a few things first before they could start working on the latter's quests.
Even though Arthur was quite disappointed with that, he couldn't do anything about it, especially when he heard that Shin asked Black Hamr to upgrade his equipnt.
After all, he was completely aware that this brother of his was going to be more threatening for most of the high-ranking experts of the ga once his equipnt got upgraded to the highest quality possible.
Even Arthur couldn't help but feel a little excited for Shin once the guy officially caught up with him and Leonard, and stood on the peak of the gaming world alongside them.
"Catching up on us in both skills and equipnt, huh? I wonder how the others are going to react with that," muttered Arthur to himself as he thought about Shin's future prospects inside the ga.
He then turned his head towards Leonard who was currently rolling his shoulders a few ters away from him before asking. "What do you think? Shin will officially catch up to us once he gets that equipnt set from Black Hamr."
"Then that is more reason for us not to slack off," said Leonard while taking out a pair of battle-axes from his inventory while signaling Arthur to start preparing.
"Heh! Quite eager to get your butt kicked, huh? Don't cry on later, okay?" said Arthur sneeringly before placing his left foot forward while positioning his shield right in front of him and resting his spear on his right shoulder.
"Hah! We still don't know who is going to cry later!" refuted Leonard with the sa sneering tone.
He then took a battle stance of his own before engaging in a staredown with Arthur while releasing their respective partial 'Battle Spirits'.
Bang! Bang!
A few monts later, the two of them simultaneously stomped their feet on the group before launching themselves at each other.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Boom!
And with all of that, these two gods clashed with each other once again.
...…
Aside from those two, the other mbers of the newly established Empyrean Talons Adventurer Team were also busy sparring with each other.
One of the benefits that they got from joining the team was the free pass for the Battle Arena within Calderock Town. Moreover, it was not an ordinary pass but a VIP pass for each of them.
Given that, the group took advantage of that chance to grab a training room with the best environnt to spar with each other. They all heard that they were going to do a pretty tough quest later, so they were planning to tune up their engines before carrying out that quest.

In the anti, while everyone in the group was currently busy with their respective tasks, a group of hooded players suddenly arrived in the Teleportation Hall of the Holy City. And when they appeared, the air within the place seed to turn heavy and made everyone present in the hall turn their heads towards the group.
But despite the hostile looks that they were getting from everyone, the mysterious group seed to be unfazed by their hostilities and calmly walked out of the Teleportation Hall.
Seeing that, the players within the vicinity couldn't help but feel insulted for being ignored by that group. But even if they were feeling that way, no one dared to confront those hooded players because of the pressuring aura that each of them was emitting.
Moreover, no one knew the identity of these people. And given that there were a total of thirteen people in their group and all of their mbers had the air of an expert surrounding them, the players within the Teleportation Hall could only watch their backs as the party exited the hall haughtily.
"Tsk! Cowards!" said one of the hooded players who was also the tallest one among the group.
Hearing that, another mber of the group suddenly turned his head at him before saying. "What's your mouth, Jugo. The captain is in a pretty bad mood right now, so you better not attract any unwanted attention."
"But I'm not sure that the captain didn't want that either," said a female mber of the group as she turned her head towards the leading person of their party before quickly adding. "From what I can see, he is more eager to fight soone so that he could vent out his pent-up anger."
The two quickly turned their heads to their leader before nodding their heads in agreent. Based on the very scary aura that was being emitted by their captain, it was clear to them that he was about to explode at any given mont.
"If that is the case, then how about we start rampaging now?" said Jugo while excitedly cracking his knuckles.
Unfortunately, the guy beside him shook his head when he heard those words before saying smirkingly. "If you really wanted to reduce your level back to zero, then I dare you to give it a try."
Jugo was about to say sothing when the player at the forefront of the group suddenly opened his mouth and silenced them by saying. "If the two of you can't shut your mouths, then how about I help you cut your tongues?"
Hearing that, the two quickly closed their mouths and refused to open them again, afraid that their captain might have really pulled out their tongues and cut them. It was as if they forgot that they were currently in the virtual world.
When that finally happened, the captain suddenly turned his head to the side and asked one of the mbers of the group. "How is it, Hannah? Did she respond to your ssages yet?"
When Hannah heard that, she quickly shook her head before replying. "Not yet, Captain. She hasn't replied to any of my ssages so far."
The captain suddenly frowned his eyebrows quite deeply when he heard that before saying. "I guess I don't have any other choice but to fetch her personally."
