Leon placed the [Secret Realm Token] into his [Storage Space] for the ti being, then shifted his attention to the [Legendary Treasure Chest] resting quietly in front of him.
A faint smile curved his lips.
"It’s been a while since I opened one of these," Leon said, amused. "Last ti was after the [Shadow Horde] event."
The chest from that event had been mythical-rank though.
He was also genuinely surprised that ElvenStronghold had added a [Legendary Treasure Chest] to the rewards.
For most players, such chests were a gamble. You could walk away with sothing decent... or sothing completely useless.
But Leon was different. With his talent’s effect, he could quite literally pull everything inside.
That alone made this chest far more valuable in his hands than in anyone else’s.
Without hesitating, Leon stepped forward and placed his palm against the lid.
Ding!
[100% Drop Rate has triggered, all items inside of the treasure chest have been placed into storage space.]
"Hehe."
A quiet chuckle escaped him.
Leon didn’t waste a second. He imdiately opened his [Storage Space] and scrolled through the list of newly acquired items.
[Enhancent Stones x10]
[Skill Stones x10]
[Advanced All-Attributes Pill: Increases all attributes by 75.]
[Sub-Talent Scrolls: Super Spirit Enhancent (C-Level), Super Strength Enhancent (C-Level)]
[Skill Books: Warrior Roar (Epic), Ice Spikes (Legendary)]
[Magic Necklace (Legendary): 500 Spirit.]
[Elven Boots (Legendary): 1,000 Agility, 500 Constitution. If worn by an "Elf", the attribute gains double.]
And finally...
[Small Skill Evolution Stone (Legendary): Allows the user to upgrade a skill of theirs by one level as long as the skill is below level 5.]
"...Damn!"
Leon genuinely couldn’t help himself. No wonder this item was ranked as legendary.
Enhancent stones were already rare enough, but one that could directly upgrade a skill without conditions beyond level restrictions was absurd.
Of course, it was labeled as a "small" evolution stone. That ant stronger versions existed.
And if this one was already this good, Leon couldn’t help but imagine what the higher-tier ones were capable of.
Even so, this chest had dropped ten different items.
Anyone else would’ve been ecstatic with four or five.
Leon? He was simply satisfied as he knew it was inevitable.
He started with the simplest step. Leon consud the [Advanced All-Attributes Pill].
A warm wave spread through his body as every stat rose by seventy-five points.
Strength, agility, spirit, constitution, everything increased evenly.
It wasn’t flashy, but the impact was imdiate and undeniable.
Next, Leon turned toward Emilia.
"Here," he said, tossing her the [Elven Boots].
Emilia caught them instinctively and blinked.
"Are you sure?"
Leon nodded. "They’re better on you."
He could’ve worn them himself and gained a solid boost, but that would’ve been a waste.
Emilia was an elf. That ant the attribute bonuses would double for her.
What was a decent gain for Leon would beco massive for her.
"Thanks," Emilia said with a smile before equipping them.
Leon then focused on the items ant for him.
He reached up and removed the [Sage’s Chain 2 (Epic)] from around his neck, setting it aside before equipping the [Magic Necklace (Legendary)].
The mont it settled into place, Leon felt his spirit surge again.
Then ca the sub-talents. He didn’t hesitate.
Leon activated the fusion process, rging both [Super Strength Enhancent (C-Level)] and [Super Spirit Enhancent (C-Level)] with the talents he already possessed.
Ding! Ding!
[Fusion successful x2.]
Leon froze.
"...Really?"
He hadn’t expected both to succeed. He’d been prepared for one, maybe even none.
Two successful fusions in a row was absurd luck, even by his standards.
[You have evolved "Super Strength Enhancent (C-Level)" to "Super Strength Enhancent (B-Level)"]
[You have evolved "Super Spirit Enhancent (C-Level)" to "Super Spirit Enhancent (B-Level)"]
[Super Strength Enhancent (B-Level): Permanently increases strength by 75%.]
[Super Spirit Enhancent (B-Level): Permanently increases spirit by 75%.]
"Amazing," Leon muttered, nodding slowly.
His gaze lingered on [Super Spirit Enhancent].
His spirit stat was already outrageously high. Boosting it by seventy-five percent was no small increase, it was a direct multiplier to his strongest attribute.
This alone massively increased his combat potential. Then ca the skills.
[Warrior Roar (Epic): Roar loudly to boost the strength of your companions. Requirent: Have a party.]
[Ice Spikes (Legendary): Focus your spirit into the ground to release several ice spikes to pierce your enemies. Requirent: 5,000 Spirit.]
Leon stared at the descriptions.
"...Hm."
[Warrior Roar] was useful, but situational. He didn’t need it right now since Emilia didn’t really need strength, so he stored it for later.
But [Ice Spikes]? That was different.
The spirit requirent alone told him this was no ordinary spell. Most players would struggle to even et the minimum requirent.
Leon, however, exceeded it comfortably. That alone hinted at how powerful the skill must be.
Without wasting ti, Leon poured his mana into the skill book.
Fwish!
The book dissolved into icy particles that flowed into his body, sending a cold yet controlled sensation through his veins.
Ding!
[You have learned the skill "Ice Spikes (Legendary)"]
Leon clenched his fist. He wanted to test it imdiately. But he held back.
There would be plenty of opportunities ahead.
"Shall we go, then?" Emilia said, stretching lightly as she spun her scepter. "I’ve got a bad feeling about the [Star Magic Cave]... and everything after that."
Leon understood. Emilia’s instincts were sharp. But even without them, the tension was obvious.
The [Star Magic Cave], the [Farlands], the unresolved threats. Nothing ahead was simple.
Still...
"We move forward," Leon said calmly. "But before that, I’m using the [Small Skill Evolution Stone]."
As long as a skill was below level five, it could be upgraded once.
That ruled out things like [Appraisal] or [Powerful Fireball].
But Leon didn’t need to think. There was only one correct choice.
Leon focused his mana into the evolution stone and shattered it.
Ding!
[Which skill do you wish to upgrade?]
"Celestial Hand," Leon answered instantly.
Ding!
[Congratulations, you have upgraded "Celestial Hand (Level 1)" to "Celestial Hand (Level 2)"]
[Celestial Hand (Ancient Lv.2): Upon killing an enemy, there is a 15% chance that this skill allows you to choose one of the items dropped by a monster and obtain an additional copy of it.]
"Nice," Leon nodded.
He’d expected the odds to increase, and fifteen percent was already terrifying.
Yes, upgrading it further would cost more in the future, but that didn’t matter.
If he could push it to thirty percent or more soday... That would be completely heaven-defying.
Before moving on, Leon checked one last thing: his combat power.
After all the stat boosts, sub-talent evolutions, and equipnt changes, it had to be absurd. And it was.
[Combat Power: 36,204 ( 78,428)]1
"...Holy shit."
Leon exhaled slowly. That put him at roughly one hundred and fifteen thousand combat power.
And that number didn’t even account for his abilities, his techniques, or the experience from his past life.
If those were factored in, the real value would be far higher. With this strength, Leon was confident.
If he had to now, he could defeat the [Crystal Mist Guardian] by himself. That thought alone made him smile.
He’d had doubts about entering the [Secret Realm] beneath the [Star Magic Cave].
But now? Those doubts had sowhat faded.
This strength would also allow him to face future enemies, whether it was the [Shadow Assassin Guild] or the [Church of Light].
Leon turned to Emilia.
"Alright," he said, eyes forward. "It’s ti to go to the [Star Magic Cave]."
That ant heading to one of the deepest and most dangerous areas of the [Lower Domain]: the level 50 zone.
And whatever waited there... Leon was ready.
If you’re too lazy to add up it’s 114,632
