"A Guild Achievent Badge?"
Su Xuan stared at the badge floating in mid-air before him, lost in thought.
The badge was silver-white, engraved with the silhouette of a woman surrounded by several hearts.
Su Xuan was a little surprised. He hadn’t expected the reward for the hidden quest to be a Guild Achievent Badge, and its buff was quite good.
’What does 10 Desire an, though?’ he wondered. ’Well, at least it isn’t a negative effect.’
Su Xuan stopped overthinking it and closed the achievent badge interface.
Seeing that it was late, Su Xuan told Ivsha to head back to the church. He was also getting ready to take off his VR headset and log out of the ga.
But before he left, Su Xuan made a point to check the trading house. Six of the nine Nun’s Talismans he had listed for sale were already sold. It seed everyone found the price acceptable. As for the private ssages from the buyers, he didn’t open a single one. Out of sight, out of mind.
"Hm? There’s another private ssage?"
Su Xuan suddenly noticed a ssage that wasn’t from the trading house. Was it from a friend?
He imdiately opened the chat panel to read it.
The ssage read: "You there? I’ve used up your Fla Gemstone. When can we trade again?"
"Oh?"
Su Xuan was a bit surprised. Had the Player who rented his Fla Gemstone finally gotten in touch?
However, he saw that the other person was already offline, so he left a ssage: "Let’s trade tomorrow morning. I’ll co find you then."
After sending the ssage, he logged out of the ga.
Su Xuan took off his VR headset and let out a long sigh.
Although Ivsha’s character quest was over, he knew in his heart that things weren’t that simple.
Baron Noda was just a pawn on the board. The real person who wanted to harm Ivsha was a certain Princess of the Kingdom, hiding in the shadows.
This was only the beginning.
Still, with Edith around, there shouldn’t be any problems for now.
’Ti for a shower! Then sleep!’
...
「The next morning.」
School, ho, ga on!
"Mr. Su Xuan~ I want you~"
The mont he entered the Guild, Ivsha approached him with light, graceful steps.
"Ivsha, we have a lot to take care of today."
Su Xuan quickly cut her off, steering her mind toward work. It was all for the sake of the Guild’s developnt—and his own physical well-being.
"Alright~ I’ll listen to whatever Mr. Su Xuan says."
Ivsha didn’t seem too disappointed. In fact, she was filled with anticipation.
It was as if she enjoyed the occasional rejection, which only made her inner desire burn brighter.
Su Xuan glanced at the ti. It was ten in the morning, ga ti. In a little while, he needed to head to Sunset City.
There were two reasons he had to go to Sunset City.
First, the special commission quest to raise his F Evaluation to an E-Level Evaluation was located in Sunset City. Now that Ivsha had advanced, they could fit this special quest into their schedule.
Second, Lady Natasha had invited him for afternoon tea, an offer he found hard to refuse.
But before all that, he needed to buy back the Fla Gemstone.
Su Xuan opened his chat interface and saw that the Player nad "Red" had replied to his ssage.
Red: "Okay."
"I’m online. Let’s trade."
Su Xuan sent the ssage and received a reply just a second later.
Red: "Go ahead."
[Player ’Red’ has sent you a trade request.]
[Your Offered Items: 70 Silver Coins]
[Their Offered Items: Fla Gemstone]
[Do you agree?]
"Agree."
[Silver Coins -70]
[Obtained Item: Fla Gemstone (Rare)]
Red: "A word of warning. While this item can reduce Fla damage, it also absorbs allied Fla Magic. And it has a damage threshold. By my estimation, the Magic of a Fla Mage with over 1000 Magic Power Value would be enough to shatter it."
"Okay, thanks."
Su Xuan thanked them. He hadn’t expected the other player to be so decent.
’A Fla Mage with over 1000 Magic Power Value, huh?’
’They’d have to be at least Level 40 or 50, and their quality couldn’t be too low either.’
As he pondered this, Su Xuan took out the Fla Gemstone. It would be perfect for dealing with the Fla Cocoon in the special quest.
"Ivsha, Rosaline, let’s go."
Clutching the Fla Gemstone, Su Xuan headed for the Teleportation Array.
Just as he was about to step into the array, a voice suddenly called out.
"Master! Please take with you!"
"Hm?"
Su Xuan turned and saw the Demon Spirit Doll that Emily had given him calling out to him.
"You want to go too? Sure, co along."
Su Xuan didn’t mind bringing the Demon Spirit Doll along. He walked over, picked it up, and put it in his backpack.
"Thank you, Master~"
A white light flashed, and Su Xuan found himself in Sunset City once again.
Returning to Sunset City after several days, Su Xuan noticed the atmosphere felt strange. There seed to be many more Soldiers walking around than before.
"I can feel it~ The aura of a Witch~" the Demon Spirit Doll suddenly exclaid excitedly.
"Can you help find the quest objective?" Su Xuan imdiately asked upon hearing its words.
This quest didn’t have a precise location marked, only that it was sowhere near the center of Sunset City.
"Mhm." The Demon Spirit Doll nodded. "I’ll lead the way, Master! Master!"
Following the Demon Spirit Doll’s guidance, Su Xuan entered the underground of Sunset City through a cellar entrance.
After descending underground, he was faced with a complex maze of sewers. After passing through them, the area ahead suddenly opened up, and Su Xuan couldn’t help but look surprised.
Beneath Sunset City, there was a massive Underground City hidden away. Its scale was comparable to that of a small town.
However, it was less an Underground City and more of a defensive structure, like fortifications built to protect the city’s citizens during warti.
"I never thought there’d be an Underground City beneath Sunset City."
Su Xuan murmured in disbelief as he stepped toward the Underground City.
The Underground City was currently deserted, filled with nothing but rats and insects. Apart from that, there were piles of discarded weapons and armor.
"It hurts!"
Suddenly, Rosaline cried out, clutching her head, her face contorted in pain.
"Rosaline, what’s wrong?"
Su Xuan’s brow furrowed as he asked urgently. Rosaline was already an Undead; logically, she shouldn’t be able to feel pain anymore.
Unless the pain was coming from her soul!
"mories... The mories are surging... tearing!"
Rosaline bit her lower lip, answering with great difficulty.
"The mories are surging?"
Before Su Xuan could finish, Rosaline suddenly took off running in a certain direction.
"Rosaline!"
Su Xuan gave chase imdiately. ’There must be sothing in this Underground City that’s causing this!’
The mont he caught up to Rosaline, he froze, stunned by the scene before him.
"This is..."
He was shocked to find that the central area of the Underground City was covered in ash!
And in the center of that ash, a giant Fla Cocoon was trembling violently. Rampant flas radiated from it, threatening to incinerate everything!
[Fla Cocoon: Quest Objective! A mysterious creature suspected to be a Witch’s Creation. It seems to contain a fallen life form within it?]
Su Xuan narrowed his eyes, trying to peer through the cocoon and discern its true nature. The thod seed to have so effect; he could faintly make out sothing lying inside the Fla Cocoon... a butterfly?
