Bab 174: Troublemaker
The Legend Ranks began talking among themselves, but strangely Adam wasn't able to understand what they were saying, their voices were all muffled and stopped him from understanding whatever they were saying.
After some time, the Emperor finally said in an audible voice "That can be done… You can go now." As he said that, another portal appeared in front of Adam, which he directly walked into. He didn't have anything else to say.
Back in the center of Fjora, Adam walked to a nearby inn, and ordered a drink. The people inside were obviously a little weird when they saw him enter, but after some drinking some opened up and soon Adam was telling his tales to everyone willing to hear, meaning everyone in the inn.
After some time, as he was getting 'drunk', he also talked about his recent adventure in the Dragon Territory, followed by a bunch of insult, and finished by a challenged. He welcomed any dragon to come attack him, he would welcome them with his sword.
When he was finished, he left the inn and directly took the teleportation array to Yam. He didn't need to repeat his words to any other inn, because he knew the word would spread very quickly. It wasn't because of the drunkards, but rather because of the bards.
There were bards in about every city in the world, and they were all under the Bards' Guild, which was an organization under Blackheart Mountain, which was on the surface a guild for all musicians in the world, but covertly was the greatest spy organization in the world.
Anyway, he didn't even have to pay them to have them spread the news about his challenge. Him challenging the dragons were precious news, and any bard who spread the information would become more popular for a moment. They might secretly be spies, they were musicians before everything, so they wouldn't say no to fame.
Once in Yam, Adam directly headed towards Klint's Workshop, where Morbash was using the forge in the store, which had been activated thanks to the flames Adam bought back a couple weeks ago. Next to him was the Old Klint, whose eyes were threatening to close every second.
However, as Adam entered the shop, Klint opened his eyes fully, while Morbash sent a look while continuing to hammer on the armor. Seeing it was Adam, the young Orc smiled and said "You made quite the ruckus."
Adam grinned and replied "But I got the reverse scales, as well as spare ones, and thousands of normal dragon scales. And a lot of Gold. It was definitely worth it."
Klint sneered "Show off." Morbash laughed "It's good you were able to get everything you needed. Now, all you need is the Blood Iron Ore and I will be able to forge your armor. Do you have a way to enter the Land of Eternal Night?"
Adam began taking out the massive Water Dragon Reverse Scales one by one as he replied "I have a friend who does, I'm leaving tomorrow."
Morbash nodded and stopped for a moment his forging to take the scales inside his spatial ring. Then, the two continued chatting for a while before Adam left the Orc's capital, back to Fjora. There, he left the city and headed toward a nearby mountain.
The lands surrounding the capital were completely free of hostile monsters, as the only ones left were high level monsters that were intelligent enough not to attack anyone, and the lower leveled cubs would follow their elders.
So as Adam quickly climbed onto the side of one of the surrounding mountains on Neith's back, even though they met many Level 100+ monsters as well as Level 150 ones, none attacked them, and many actually greeted them back.
Adam didn't go to the peak of the mountain though, as that would be disrespecting the beast owning this mountain, and that would give them a reason to attack him. Instead, he stopped when in a particularly cold area where he felt his Aura regeneration was ten times better than normal.
Then, for the rest of the day Adam worked on his skills as well as his Concepts. The day quickly passed by, and when Adam reconnected in Epoch, he was ready to go to the Land of Eternal Night. King Slayer had already contacted him, and they had agreed to meet at 7.00 am in the real world in the Azure Sky Kingdom.
As the groggy Neith walked down the mountain, inwardly cursing about Adam's nature as a Northman, Adam checked on his progress. For now, he had already successfully understood the Water Sovereign Concept up to 0.6%, which in turn allowed him to make his [Aqua Slash] even better.
Although he could only use ice based attacks, now instead of dealing 5 slashes that each dealt 200% damage, they would each deal 300% damage, which was quite a good increase.
By now, Adam's and Neith's capabilities were definitely top tier. Adam could take on about any beginner Gold Rank, except SS Classes or higher ones, and should be able to take on a Level 120 Elder Rank monster.
As for Neith, since she had gotten promoted, she was even stronger than Adam right now. Even a Level 100 Gold Rank SS Class, or a Level 100 Ancestor like the Water Dragon Princess, couldn't match her. The only reason the Water Dragon Princess was able to take the upper hand against Neith was because Neith fought thoughtlessly in her rage, and there were also 99 Level 100 Elder Rank Dragons fighting alongside her.
Although in that fight they had looked weak, that was only because the others were way too powerful. Even with his recent upgrade, Adam could only deal with them one at a time, and id two if them were to attack him simultaneously he would probably lose.
Anyway, if it were a normal monster, instead of a powerful one like a dragon, then Neith could probably fight against monsters that were Level 130-140. That was almost a hundred levels difference.
Actually, the terrifying thing was that amongst Sovereigns and Chosen ones, Neith could be considered quite good, as not all of them were equal. But even though she was 'quite good', at the same level, she had absolutely no chance against Adam, showing he was at least a top tier Sovereign.
This meant that by the time he reached the Silver Rank, it was absolutely possible that he would directly become one of the strongest among Gold Ranks, and only Hero Ranks would be able to match him.
After that though, his ability to cross levels and ranks to fight will quickly go down. This was because there were close to no Hero Rank that hadn't opened the Third Gate, and many even opened the Fourth One.
The Third Gate was what allowed Adam to be much stronger than other same leveled warriors since his stats were five times higher. But the 4th Gate didn't allow one to become much stronger than someone who didn't open it. If two warriors are as strong as each other and one has opened it while the other didn't, the win would go toward the one who opened it.
But if the one who didn't open it was stronger in term of attributes and skills, then opening the Fourth Gate wouldn't help much.
And even the Fifth Gate wouldn't help much either, at least at first. The raw domain was more of a sensory domain at first, and although it allowed to suppress the ones in it, it wasn't great for cross level fighting. Only when it became powerful enough, or when one developed an understanding over an Essence, would it become a really useful tool for fighting.
Some time later, a few minutes to 7.00 am, in an inn in the Azure Sky Kingdom, Adam was sitting, slowly sipping on a cup of bear. Despite the hour being early, there were already many people, because while the days here were twice as long, so were the nights, but people needed to sleep even less than on Earth.
But amidst all the noise, Adam heard the sound of the door of the inn being opened, and he saw a familiar figure, King Slayer.
