章節 27: Mountain of Wealth
Point out any errors I made in the chapters, as I'm very lazy and sometimes can't be bothered to reread them. Also give your opinions on something I should change or add
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first thing Feng did after logging into God's Domain was to contact Gentle Snow and conduct the transaction for the Arclight Shields.
Gentle Snow pushed open the doors of one of the parlors of the Starstreak Trading Firm and entered the room soon after. Her equipment now was quite different from the last time Feng had met with her. Most of the equipment she had on were of Secret-Silver rank. Among them, the silvery-white greatsword that she carried on her back was even of Fine-Gold rank. Currently, Gentle Snow had already reached Level 16. It was obvious that she had been grinding nonstop, night and day, to reach such a level.
"Let's hurry up and make the trade," Gentle Snow said impatiently, not bothering to even take a seat.
"Here are the four Arclight Shields, please verify them." Feng didn't care enough to ask what had Snow in such a hurry, and he knew the reason anyway, so he didn't bother talking about it.
"Here are 400 Magic Crystals." Gentle Snow immediately called out her trade window.
The moment Gentle Snow inspected the Attributes of the Arclight Shields, her eyes immediately glowed, a hint of joy surfacing on her face.
"Excellent! The Attributes on these Arclight Shields are simply too good! I will need two more of these items. I wonder when you will be able to finish them for me?" At this time, excitement was evident on Gentle Snow's face. With these four shields, they would definitely have no problem clearing the second Boss.
"Right now." Feng said as he took out the other two Arclight Shields he had prepared. These were two of his last three Light-Gold shields, he only had a couple of Dark-Gold Arclight Guards left.
Gentle Snow showed a surprised expression when she saw Feng pull out two more Arclight Shields, but it quickly turned to joy. The two of them immediately finished the exchange, and Gentle Snow hurried off to dungeon clearing.
Feng, on the other hand, went back to forging Intermediate Mana Armor Kits while waiting for Fire to finish leveling the new members.
As time slowly passed, unknowingly, the competition at the Three Great Dungeons of White River City grew even more intense.
Dark Star, which was at the forefront in terms of progression, finally started raiding the final Boss of the Land of Death. Meanwhile, Ouroboros, which was placed second, started raiding the fourth Boss. The advance of these two Guilds greatly shocked the other Guilds in White River City.
"What did that woman, Gentle Snow, eat? How could their progression suddenly increase so rapidly?!" The Guardian Knight, Lone Tyrant, felt pressured after receiving the latest report from his subordinate.
"Don't worry. We spent almost five hours raiding the fourth Boss. At the very minimum, Gentle Snow would need two to three hours to finish it. We will definitely clear the Dungeon a step ahead of her," the burly-looking Ranger standing beside Lone Tyrant said.
"That's true. We've sent all our elites out this time, and our battle prowess is clearly stronger than Gentle Snow's team by a notch." Lone Tyrant also felt that he was being oversensitive to things. They would definitely be the first one to clear the Normal Mode of the Land of Death. Although there would be no announcement for being the first to clear a Normal Mode Team Dungeon, it would still make other Guilds know how fearsome Dark Star was, solidifying their position in White River City.
"Guild Leader, I've just received news that Gentle Snow has somehow managed to obtain six Arclight Shields. The addition of these six shields to their team has greatly reduced the burden placed on their healers, giving more time for the damage dealers to attack. Hence why they could conquer the Bosses so easily."
"Arclight Shield? Isn't that the Forging Design Black Flame got? How could he possibly manage to produce them in such a short amount of time?" Lone Tyrant had not even been able contain his drool when he had heard about Black Flame obtaining the Forging Design for the Arclight Shield. If possible, he had planned to buy one of those Arclight Shields as well. However, contacting Black Flame was simply too difficult, making the Arclight Shield almost impossible to obtain.
---
Meanwhile, the matter of Ouroboros obtaining the Arclight Shields had also quickly spread to the other Guilds. They couldn't help but grow envious at this piece of news.
After all, during today's competition for the Land of Death, although a latecomer, Ouroboros had still managed to clear the Normal Mode Dungeon ahead of Dark Star. This achievement dumbfounded every Guild in White River City.
As for Dark Star's Lone Tyrant, he was currently burning with rage over this matter. He had secretly prepared so much, all in order to surpass Ouroboros. In the end, however, he was instead given a big slap to the face by Ouroboros.
Soon after, the various large Guilds in White River City started asking around, hoping to find out from the members of Ouroboros what method they used to obtain the Arclight Shields. Some Guilds had even directly created forum posts offering several hundred thousands of Credits to purchase an Arclight Shield.
Looking at this scene, many players felt that these Guilds had gone insane. They were actually willing to spend so much money just to buy a Fine-Gold ranked shield.
However, this bottom line was, very quickly, broken by Dark Star who offered one million Credits to purchase the Arclight Shield.
The players who discovered this matter thought the people of Dark Star were idiots with too much money in their pockets. Aside from trying to purchase the Arclight Shield, they had also made the post with the intention of directing players' attention towards Dark Star.
Around an hour later, Fire contacted Feng, saying that everyone has reached Level 20. With Fire's and the others' current levels and equipment, killing high level monsters and leveling up their newly recruited members was simple. They only needed one or two groups of above Level 40 monsters to get enough EXP. What took them the most time was getting to a map with high enough level monsters.
After seeing Fire's message and instructing her to bring everyone to Demon's Castle, Feng contacted Aqua, telling her the same thing. He then placed his final Arclight Shield for sale at the Starstreak Trading Firm for thirty Gold Coins, and all of the Dark-Gold Arclight Guards in the Guild Warehouse, except for two, allowing Guild members to exchange for them. However, it would not be easy to exchange for these shields.
The sight of around a dozen Dark-Gold shields appearing in Zero Wing's Guild Warehouse brought the newly recruited members even greater hope, despite their not being able to obtain it for themselves. At the same time, they were shocked by so many Dark-Gold items appearing in their Guild's Warehouse, which they haven't even seen before.
At the same time, Feng's actions nearly caused the other Guilds in White River City to vomit blood in anger.
After all, instead of letting the MTs of the Guild use these excellent shields, Feng had chosen to put them on display. It was as if these Arclight Guards meant nothing to Zero Wing.
Just recently Zero Wing created a sensation throughout White River City. Now, its member count had already exceeded 5,000. It also had the eight great experts holding down the fort for them; Zero Wing's strength could no longer be categorized within the levels of only second-rate or third-rate Guilds.
Now that Zero Wing caused another sensation in White River City, many players could not help but reevaluate their opinion of Zero Wing.
When players tried to further investigate Zero Wing, they were immediately shocked by what they found.
Not only was Zero Wing home to the eight great experts, it also had Aqua Rose, a great expert who was no weaker than the Snow Goddess, Gentle Snow. In addition, there was also a rumor that the leveling expert, Ye Feng, was overseeing the Guild. With so many experts there, Zero Wing's strength within White River City did not lose out to the three first-rate Guilds in the slightest. Although it was weaker than the first-rate Guilds in terms of Dungeon-raiding, it had an extremely huge potential for growth.
Unwittingly, Zero Wing had become publicly acknowledged as one of the top six Guilds in White River City.
The top six Guilds were Ouroboros, Emperor's Light, World Dominators, Dark Star, Assassin's Alliance, and Zero Wing. Among these Guilds, Ouroboros, Emperor's Light, and World Dominators were all first-rate Guilds, and each of them possessed very powerful backgrounds. Even if only a portion of their actual strength was stationed in White River City, second-rate and third-rate Guilds were still far from being comparable to them.

"What? You're saying Starstreak is selling an Arclight Shield right now? Are you sure about this?" Lone Tyrant grew excited when he received this piece of news.
"Boss, how could I be mistaken? The Arclight Shield is being sold at a special counter on the second floor, but they're selling it for 30 Gold Coins. Many people were stunned by the price, and they could only drool as they looked at it," an Assassin that kept watch on the Starstreak Trading Firm affirmed.
"I understand. I'll go purchase the Coins we need right now. You can stop lining up for the Mana Armor Kits for now. Go keep an eye on the Arclight Shield for me. You're not allowed to take even a half step away from it! As soon as I gather enough money, I'll send someone over to buy it," Lone Tyrant said.
Although 30 Gold Coins was not a small sum for any Guild, Lone Tyrant did not hesitate as he made this decision.
The reason being, Lone Tyrant knew how vital the Arclight Shield was. If one wished to clear the Three Great Dungeons, one must first possess a sufficiently powerful MT. Meanwhile, the best shield available to players was currently the Arclight Shield. Hence, he needed to obtain it no matter what.
Just as Lone Tyrant received this piece of news, the other Guilds based in the eight cities where the Starstreak Trading Firm had shops also received this information, because all items sold by the Starstreak Trading Firm were interconnected. As long as an item was sold in one of the shops of the Starstreak Trading Firm, the item would also appear in the seven other shops.
As a result, the competition to purchase the Arclight Shield was made even more intense now.
---
Meanwhile, Feng, who was heading towards the Demon's Castle, was looking at his current EXP and the amount necessary to upgrade Flame Burst again. After previously killing the stone monsters, along with all the mining and forging Feng did, he had gathered barely enough to level it up again, dropping to Level 15 as he did so.
[Flame Burst]
Tier 2, Level 3 (Requires 1,800,000,000 EXP to upgrade to Tier 2, Level 4 skill)
Channeling time: 1 second
Gathers the power of flames to a single point and causes 1,400% damage to the target.
Attack Count: 16 times
Cooldown: 3 minutes
Just as Feng was reviewing the changes in Flame Burst, he suddenly received a call request from Gentle Snow. With a smile, Feng picked up the call.
"Miss Snow, to what do I owe the pleasure of receiving a call from you? Do you perhaps wish to purchase some more Arclight Shields?" Feng asked as Gentle Snow's cold image appeared.
"Master Black Flame sure is humorous. After hearing of the Dark-Gold Arclight Guards, how could I settle for only Arclight Shields?" Gentle Snow responded with a faint smile. Despite smiling, she was not at all in a good mood, and was resisting the urge to directly question Black Flame.
Snow had originally been very pleased after managing to purchase the six Light-Gold Arclight Shields and beating the Normal Mode Land of Death ahead of Dark Star. However, she suddenly received news that around a dozen Dark-Gold shields appeared in Zero Wing's Warehouse out of nowhere.
Upon investigating a bit, she discovered that the shields were very similar to the Arclight Shields she previously traded for with Black Flame. Moreover, all the shields were of the same type, which indicated that they were forged. Considering the similarities between the Light-Gold and Dark-Gold shields, and the fact that there was no one else in Star-Moon Kingdom who could forge such high quality items, Snow immediately concluded that Black Flame had forged the dozen or so shields in Zero Wing's Warehouse.
But how long has it been since she traded for the six Arclight Shields? Around an hour? There was no way that Black Flame had managed to forge so many Dark-Gold shields in that time frame, which could only mean that he already had many of those shields when they were trading, and intentionally didn't sell them to her.
However, as there was no way to directly prove that Black Flame had forged those shields, she couldn't immediately accuse him of withholding them from her. Not to mention, if Black Flame indeed had the ability to forge so many Dark-Gold shields, accusing and offending him wouldn't be a good idea.
It should be known that she has yet to even hear of someone obtaining a Dark-Gold piece of equipment, let alone a shield which was normally much rarer than items of the same rank. So, Gentle Snow decided to probe first and see Black Flame's reaction.
"Is Miss Snow interested in buying the Arclight Guards? You should have said so from the beginning. I could have immediately sold them to you without wasting time with the Light-Gold Arclight Shields." Feng spoke with what seemed like a regretful expression, rendering Gentle Snow speechless.
'How was I suppose to know you had something like Dark-Gold shields?' Despite Gentle Snow thinking that, she still spoke politely "If Mater Black Flame had already forged the Arclight Guards, you could have just sold them to me instead of the Arclight Shields." Gentle Snow said, wanting to find out why Black Flame hadn't done so from the beginning.
"Alas, Miss Snow had asked for Arclight Shields. Naturally, I couldn't go back on our agreement. It is my honor and duty as a forger to deliver exactly what is asked of me." Feng came up with an excuse with a smile.
Of course, he couldn't say that he didn't want to sell the Arclight Guards to Snow, since it might change the timeline, which Feng wanted to follow as long as he could to make sure things go his way.
Gentle Snow's eyebrows twitched upon hearing Feng's words. Still, she remained calm and asked politely "Could Master Black Flame sell me a few of the Arclight Guards? I don't need many of them, two or three would be fine." Gentle Snow knew that the price of the Dark-Gold Arclight Guards would definitely be much higher than the Light-Gold Arclight Shields, so she didn't ask for many, she would even be happy with only one.
"Unfortunately, I had already placed all of the Arclight Guards in Zero Wing's Warehouse. And as I'm currently preoccupied with something else and unable to forge more, I'm afraid that I can't sell any Arclight Guards to Miss Snow." Feng shook his had as he spoke.
"Can't you take one out of the Warehouse? I can purchase them at an equal price to Zero Wing's Contribution Points." Gentle Snow frowned slightly, feeling like Black Flame might be unwilling to sell her any Arclight Guards, but still decided to try negotiating with him.
"I'm unable to do that, as well. Since I've already placed them in the Warehouse, I can't simply take them out. Please understand, Miss Snow." Feng denied.
"Since that's the case, it can't be helped. If Master Black Flame forges more of the Arclight Guards in the future, please do contact me." Seeing that Black Flame had no intention of selling her the Arclight Guards, Gentle Snow decided to drop the subject and ended the call after saying her piece.
Feng soon arrived in front of the Demon's Castle after he finished talking with Gentle Snow.
The Demon's Castle was once a lord's territory. However, the lord of this place had been bewitched by a demon and turned into a demon himself, gaining tremendous power in return. The lord had then turned this place into a demon's lair. Now, the area surrounding the Demon's Castle was filled with Level 15 or so Demonkins.
Compared to other monsters, demon-type monsters were born with very high magic resistance, and they also possessed very high magical perception. Hence, their magic attacks were very powerful. Even a normal Fireball from a Level 15 Demonkin could take away a quarter of a regular Level 15 Berserker's total HP. If it was a skill that possessed great destructive force such as the Great Fireball or Flame Explosion, then a single attack could take away half of a regular Level 15 Berserker's total HP.
To make matters worse, these Demonkins never acted alone; they normally moved around in groups of three or four. If a solo player met a group of these Demonkins, the result would be an instant kill. Hence, players normally only came to the Demon's Castle after forming a party or a team. However, even though this was a dangerous location, many players still chose to come here.
As Demons were greedy by nature, they were very fond of money and Gemstones. In general, demon-type monsters had a much higher drop rate for money and Gemstones than normal monsters. Hence, plenty of players would grind here.
"Guild Leader, what did you call me here for all of a sudden?" Aqua Rose asked in a confused tone as she arrived at the entrance of the Demon's Castle Dungeon.
As a 20-man Level 15 Team Dungeon, there were very few Guilds that possessed the strength to challenge this place right now. However, even if these Guilds did possess the strength to do so, they would not attempt to raid this Dungeon. The reason being, they were all held up by the Hell Mode of the Level 10 Team Dungeons, and also the Three Great Dungeons. Moreover, the level requirement for the Demon's Castle was simply too high. Also, if they were unable to clear the Hard Mode of the Demon's Castle, raiding it would bring little improvement to their team's equipment, making it a waste of time. It would be much better for them to place their focus on the Hell Mode of Level 10 Team Dungeons.
Hence, Aqua Rose felt curious as to why Feng would call her to this place.
"Of course, it is to raid the Demon's Castle." Feng answered
Aqua Rose was shocked by his words. Immediately, she said, "Guild Leader, isn't it a little too early to raid the Demon's Castle? It would be better for us to focus on raiding the Level 10 Hell Mode Team Dungeons. Although our Guild started slower than the others, we can still try to compete with the other Guilds over the Three Great Dungeons."
"We'd simply be wasting time on the Three Great Dungeons. There isn't much we would gain from clearing them, in fact, there are more downsides to clearing any of them." Feng simply shook his head. If not for the fact he had to go to Demon's Castle for a quest, he wouldn't be bothered to go to a dungeon. His time was better spent elsewhere.
Though, Fire and the others wouldn't have any problems clearing the Hell Mode of the Three Great Dungeons without him. However, he naturally won't let them clear it, as it might cause an early system evolution.
Aqua Rose was rendered speechless by Feng's words. But before she could respond, Feng continued.
"Oh, by the way, wear this equipment. It should help you in the dungeon." Feng handed some of the Level 15 Fine-Gold and Secret-Silver equipment he had remaining of the stock obtained from Faust. Feng had previously left all of the equipment which he had honorably acquired from Faust in a Warehouse, along with some other items, that Blackie had access to, leaving him to distribute the equipment to the members who had their memories restored.
After checking it today, all of the Level 20 Dark-Gold and Fine-Gold, along with all of the Level 15 Dark-Gold and most of the Level 15 Fine-Gold equipment was gone. So, he gave whatever was left to Aqua, along with a Level 15 Dark-Gold staff.
Even though she was given the leftovers, Aqua was still shocked upon seeing all of the equipment Feng had given her, especially the Dark-Gold staff.
"G-guild Leader, is it really alright for me to have all of this?" Aqua asked, uncertain. She knew full well the value this equipment had, and that the Star-Moon Kingdom's various guilds would kill to obtain it. Aqua guessed that it was difficult for Feng to collect all of it.
Of course, she had no idea that Feng had scammed it from an old man that just wanted some fish.
"Don't mind it. You're Zero Wing's Vice Guild Leader, so you should naturally have decent equipment." Feng responded nonchalantly, showing how little he cared for the equipment.
Seeing that, Aqua hesitated no further and equipped the stuff Feng had given her, becoming amazed by the benefits of her new equipment and her current attributes a moment later.
"They're here." As Aqua was inspecting her increased attributes, Feng looked towards a group of a dozen or so players walking over. They were none other than Fire Dance and her team.
"They?" Aqua looked away from her status panel and turned towards the direction Feng was looking at, immediately becoming shocked by what she saw.
She discovered more than ten players walking over, each of them looking extremely dazzling. It was especially true for the sexy beauty walking in the lead. The two daggers by the woman's waist crackled with electricity, although she had hidden their glow effect, making them of unknown quality, the rest of her equipment gave of the glow of Dark-Gold equipment. In addition, quite a few members of this team also possessed gorgeous-looking equipment; they all wore Dark-Gold Equipment, with the most inferior piece being Fine-Gold. Although some of the members had hidden the special effects of a few pieces of their equipment, they should be of Fine-Gold rank at the very least.
Not even the main force of Ouroboros could compare to this dazzling team.
When Aqua Rose took a closer look at this group of players, she was surprised to discover that each and every of them sported a six-winged emblem. They were actually members of their Zero Wing.
Aqua Rose's delicate mouth suddenly parted in disbelief.
With Faust's equipment, as well as some they obtained on their own, naturally the worst equipment Fire's group had on them was Fine-Gold; not including the ornaments, of course.
Among them, there were some with with Epic equipment; like Minor Wind who had the longbow Starchaser Feng obtained from Faust;
Fire, who obtained an Epic Treasure Chest from the Trial of God and a pair of Epic rank daggers after unlocking it with the Mana Stones Feng had left in the Warehouse that Blackie had access to, along with an Epic rank ring and two Epic rank leather armor equipment pieces, one obtained on her own while looking for a Legacy, the other she traded for with Cola for an Epic rank plate armor she obtained;
Cola had two pieces of Epic plate armor, he traded for one with Fire while for the other with Blackie. Although he had gotten good equipment from the Trial of God, including some of the Dark-Gold stuff he was currently wearing along with a shield, he didn't get any Epic rank equipment from it;
Blackie had the Epic rank Mavis Guard, along with an Epic rank cloth armor he traded for with Cola after obtaining an Epic rank plate armor piece from the boss that dropped his Legacy. His gains from the Trial of God were a bit less than Cola's;
However, the best equipment belonged to Violet, whose equipment was even better than Feng's. Blackie had previously given Violet the Epic rank Necklace, Heart of Light, which they had obtained from Faust before going to the Trial of God. Although Violet too obtained an Epic Treasure Chest from the Trial of God like Fire, she didn't get any equipment from it. Though, after Violet entered the special space to get the True Saint Legacy, she managed to obtain three pieces of Epic rank cloth armor, along with an Epic rank Ring. On top of all of that, after killing the guardian boss for her Legacy, a Fragmented Legendary staff had dropped.
All of their equipment underwent an incredible makeover from the last time Feng saw them, and their attributes were many times higher than the current top players.
"Guild Leader, I've brought everyone here." Fire Dance said, walking up to Feng.
"Good. Leave your teams and I'll send an invite to all of you." Feng nodded in reply, before passing Cola and Ye Wumian an Arclight Guard each.
Aqua Rose was greatly shocked.
"They are the eight players at the top of the Ranking List?" Aqua Rose whispered in silence.
Although she did not use any identification skills on these players, aside from the top eight players, she could think of no other members of Zero Wing that could possibly possess such excellent equipment.
"Some of them." Feng replied, then started inviting Fire and the others into his team.
There were a total of 18 players in Fire's team.
Along with Fire, Cola, Blackie and Violet, there were the Four Demon Generals and the four experts from Green Leaf Workshop, as well as six people whose memories Feng returned.
The Four Demon Generals, the four from the Green Leaf Workshop and one from the remaining six had managed to reach the Domain Realm in their previous lives. Of them, Flying Shadow and Ye Wumian had reached the Third step of the Domain Realm in the Realms of Refinement and the Transcendental Realm in the Realm of Truth; the other three Demon Generals, who were in the Transcendental Realm, and one from the Green Leaf Workshop, who reached the Ascension Realm, the Second step Domain Realm; while the rest had reached the First step Domain Realm and the Ascension Realm. [1]
As for the rest of the five members, two were in the Void Realm, while the final three in the Flowing Water Realm; with one of the two at the Void Realm being in the Ascension Realm, while the rest of them being in the Truth Realm.
Soon after, Feng and the others entered the Demon's Castle, choosing the Hell Mode difficulty.
Aqua Rose was momentarily rendered speechless. She couldn't stand it anymore. Feng was always taking unconventional actions.
This was the Hell Mode of a 20-man Team Dungeon! At the very least, they should have started with Normal Mode to familiarize themselves with the Dungeon, before finally challenging Hell Mode. However, Feng had started with Hell Mode right from the very beginning. Just what did he think of a Hell Mode Dungeon?
Aqua looked at the rest of the members in her team, but found that all of them were completely calm, like they had long expected this.
As this was Hell Mode, the monsters inside the castle all received an upgrade. Meanwhile, such monsters were wandering around in groups inside the castle corridors.
[Demon Maid] (Elite Rank)
Level 15
HP 80,000/80,000
Good at magical attacks, particularly fire-type damage.
[Demon Butler] (Elite Rank)
Level 15
HP 100,000/100,000
Good at melee attacks.
"You don't need my instructions. Just do your thing and clear out the monsters." Feng commanded nonchalantly, knowing that using an actual strategy would simply be overkill with their current attributes and combat standards.
As soon as Feng spoke, all of the melee players rushed forward, intending to fight the groups of Demon Butlers and Maids on their own, and they were immediately followed by ranged classes, who would attack from afar either to support the melees or taking care of groups on their own. This included the healers. Since no one was getting hit, there was no need to heal, so they joined the ranged players; except for Violet, who was bored and OP enough to join the melee classes.
The only ones left behind were the shock-stricken Aqua and bored Feng who couldn't be bothered to take his hands out of his cloak's pockets and fight; not that there was a place or need to do so.
He looked for a place where he might be able to join the fight, but all the monsters were always quickly occupied, so he just walked in the back with Aqua, who still hasn't recovered from her shock at the sight of all of the players in her team fighting a group of Elite monsters on their own... inside of a Level 15 Hell mode dungeon. What took her breath away the most were the female Assassin that killed all the monsters in one or two hits and the little female Cleric that was beating the monsters to death with her staff.
"How are they so strong?" Once her brain was finally able to formulate a thought, Aqua asked, no one in particular as she mumbled to herself, like she had just seen something unbelievable and was questioning reality.
"They all underwent Zero Wing's special training." Feng overheard Aqua's mumblings, and since there was nothing else for him to do, he decided to start placing the idea of coming to the Workshop in Aqua's head.
Since he had no idea of where she was in real life, or even the city she was currently in, and he couldn't demand for her to come to the Workshop, Feng could only portray the memory returning as Zero Wing's special training, and tempt her into coming of her own volition.
In fact, this was how Feng was planning to lure most of the people to come to Zero Wing's Workshop, or wherever its headquarters is at the time, while also covering the reason for people suddenly becoming experts in Zero Wing from the other guilds. As long as Feng said that it was a special training, the only way anyone investigating could find out the truth was from the people he returns the memories of.
And naturally, no one was stupid enough to betray the guy who could time travel and control their memories, so there was no threat of the memory returning getting out.
"Special training?" Aqua turned to Feng in confusion. This was her first time hearing that her guild had a special training program, but upon thinking about it further, she felt it made sense that there was one since there were so many experts in Zero Wing "What kind of training is it? Is it like the Super Guilds' nurturing?" Aqua inquired.
As someone who was previously nurtured by a Super Guild, she knew some things about how the training worked, so she wanted to find out if Zero Wing's was similar to what she experienced. If it was as effective as a Super Guild's, than Zero Wing had even more potential than she initially thought.
'Shit, I didn't think about how to explain it.' Feng cursed in his mind, and had a thoughtful look on his face before answering "It can't really be explained with words. It can only be experienced." He gave a vague answer that gave off a sense of mystery.
"???" Aqua's look became even more confused upon hearing that. How can it not be explainable with words? It wasn't that difficult. Simply use words to describe how it functions and what people in it do. As Aqua wondered if Feng was messing with her about the training, or intentionally withholding information for some reason, Feng proposed
"Are you interested in participating in Zero Wing's special training? With your talent, you won't have much trouble surpassing them if you take part in it." Feng wasn't saying that Aqua would surpass them simply to make the training more appealing. Instead, he was speaking the truth. Aqua was previously one of Zero Wing's few Beyond Domain realm experts.
Of course, not everyone in the Beyond Domain realm was equal. Although Violet and Fire were similarly in the Beyond Domain realm, their attainment in it was much lower than Aqua's. After all, on top of going through just as many fights as the two of them, Aqua had spent around eighty years in a Mysterious Space.
Even though Zero Wing had recruited plenty of experts from the Greater God's Domain, the only one who could match Aqua's progression in the Beyond Domain realm was Gentle Snow. In fact, with the two of theirs talents, their standards were comparable to the old monsters of the Greater God's Domain's Apex powers.
This included the Realms of Truth, too. Aqua and Snow had greatly progressed in the Beyond Transcendental realm, much more than anyone else in Zero Wing, even more than Feng; with the two of them being able to integrate Advanced Silver Combat Techniques into their every movement.
As for combat techniques, they surpassed everyone in Zero Wing even in that. Apart from mastering a few Gold Combat Techniques, and an Advanced Gold Combat Technique each, they had even been able to use a Platinum Combat Technique [2] with some proficiency.
"Can I?" Aqua asked, feeling slightly exited. If what Black Flame said was true, and she could really reach the same standard as the people currently conducting a massacre of the Demon Castle's inhabitants, then proving herself to her family would be simple.
"Of course. However, as the training takes place in real life, you'll have to go to Zero Wing's Workshop first." Feng nodded with a smile.
"I see. I'll think about it." Aqua replied. She already knew about Zero Wing's Workshop in Jin Hai City. As there were many matters she had to take care of, both in real life and God's Domain, and the trip to Jin Hai City and back would take some time, she decided to do so at a later date. Either way, she could still improve her combat standards by simply watching the people in front of her.
As the two of them conversed, all of the Demon Butlers and Maids in the vicinity were taken care of, so the group proceeded through the dungeon.
Following which, under Feng's command, everyone advanced deeper into the castle, killing hundreds of Elites and a dozen or so Special Elites. Of the latter were Demon Hounds.
Naturally, the team's harvest was also decent. Aside from a few Tier 1 Gemstones, and Bronze and Mysterious-Iron Equipment, they had also obtained two pieces of Secret-Silver Equipment.
"The profits of a 20-man Hell Mode Team Dungeon is truly high. We have obtained so many Mysterious-Iron Equipment just from the Elite monsters. The Special Elites even drop Secret-Silver Equipment," Aqua Rose exclaimed. Just the harvest they reaped from arriving at the first Boss was already comparable to the harvest of raiding a Hard Mode Team Dungeon. If they could kill one or two Bosses this time, they would definitely make a huge profit.
"Save your joy for when we clear the dungeon. Anyway, who wants him?" Feng said as he gestured towards the center of the arena. A tall heavy-armored knight with bloodshot eyes stood there, an aura of bloodthirst surrounding it.
[Knight Captain Justin Freed] (Demonic Being, Lord Rank)
Level 16
HP 880,000/880,000
"I got it." Before anyone could respond, Fire rushed out. With her speed being comparable to Feng's, she was much faster to respond than the rest, as well as reaching Freed. By the time Fire's words reached everyone's ears, she was already behind Freed.
Fire's pair of daggers lit up with electricity, and the daggers' length seemed to triple. Before Freed could react, Fire's daggers bit into him over a dozen times, and his HP bar emptied out.
Justin Freed let out a scream of resentment as he fell to the ground, his body leaving behind a pile of dazzling items as it disappeared.
"It's a jackpot!"
When Aqua saw the pile of items on the ground, she became astonished, nearly forgetting that Fire had just killed a boss in a split second. Just a brief glance told her that Justin Freed had dropped more than ten items. It was an obvious sign that this was one of those rare karmic jackpots.
"Collect the loot while you're there." Feng told Fire, as she was still standing next to the pile of items, he figured she might as well just collect everything and save him the trouble of walking all the way over there.
Fire quickly collected Freed's loot. Seeing that it was mostly the same as in the previous timeline and that no one needed it, she simply stored it.
Following which the team resumed advancing towards the heart of the Demon's Castle.
Very quickly, they arrived at the main hall of the Demon's Castle. The final Boss, the Dark Knight Gaia, sat high above on the throne inside the hall.
The moment everyone set foot inside the hall, the atmosphere of the room suddenly changed, and even the air started feeling heavy.
As they gazed at the bosses in the hall, everyone, except for Aqua who's mouth dropped open at the sight, remained indifferent.
Two beauties stood beside the throne. The two beauties had a pair of pitch-black wings on their backs, and both of them were giving off an imposing aura that was no weaker than Dark Knight Gaia's.
[Dark Knight Gaia] (High Lord Rank)
Level 16
HP 4,000,000/4,000,000
[Fallen Angel[3] Ayr] (High Lord Rank)
Level 16
HP 3,600,000/3,600,000
[Fallen Angel Lara] (High Lord Rank)
Level 16
HP 3,600,000/3,600,000
"You lot had your fun on the way here. These three are mine." Feng said before the others could volunteer, as he stepped forward. Golden scales appeared on his body, before he disappeared from his previous position, only leaving an afterimage.
As he rushed towards the three bosses, Feng used a skill from his Dark-Gold Leg Guards, and appeared in front of the Fallen Angel Ayr. Before Ayr could react, she was bound by nine pitch black chains while another Feng appeared beside the original; who, using Silent Steps, appeared behind the Fallen Angel Lara.
Abruptly both Feng's and the doppelganger's swords lit up like miniature suns, as they slashed at the winged beauties.
Flame Burst! x2
Eight Extreme Slashes! x2
In the time that it took to take a breath, both of the High Lord's over three million HPs reached zero.
It was only now that the Dark Knight Gaia finally reacted, turning towards the two Feng's with his spear in hand. However, Feng and his doppelganger merely pushed off the ground and effortlessly circled Gaia, as their hand-held miniature suns slashed at him.
Eight Extreme Slashes! x2
In the next moment, Dark Knight Gaia let out an agonized roar as his life faded away, providing EXP to the team. Though only Feng and Aqua leveled up to Level 17, as the others were already Level 20.
White River City Region System Announcement: Congratulations to Zero Wing for becoming the first team to conquer the Hell Mode Demon's Castle. All players within the team will be rewarded with 40 Reputation Points in White River City, 10 Reputation Points in Star-Moon Kingdom, 300,000 EXP, and 10 Silver Coins.
White River City Region System Announcement: Congratulations to Zero Wing for becoming the fastest team to conquer the Hell Mode Demon's Castle. All players within the team will be rewarded with 40 Reputation Points in White River City, 10 Reputation Points in Star-Moon Kingdom, 300,000 EXP and one Tier 2 Gemstone of random Attribute.
System: Hell Mode Demon's Castle has been cleared for the first time. Loot increased by 100%.
Although the process of slaying the three High Lords sounded short, it was even shorter. Less than three seconds passed since Feng spoke.
Suddenly, a pillar of holy light descended from the sky, and Sharlyn walked out of the light pillar a moment later.
"You're a bit slow," Feng teased with a smile as he looked towards Sharlyn, who was looking around in confusion.
Her expression turned a bit awkward when she saw the corpses of Gaia and the other two, unsure of what exactly happened here. When Sharlyn noticed Feng standing over their bodies and the others who were at the hall's entrance, she seemed to have realized something, but her expression became even more confused then.
Sharlyn looked towards Feng and narrowed her eyes like she was trying to see through him. A moment later, her expression and demeanor became graceful again as she smiled sweetly and said "Thank you, adventures, for stopping Gaia and his evil deeds." disappearing afterwards.
'That's it? No increased rewards?' Feng raised an eyebrow after Sharlyn disappeared and he didn't receive any other system notifications. He was originally expecting an extra reward, or at least increased loot for killing the three High Lords without Sharlyn's help. But seeing that there was nothing, Feng just shrugged his shoulders and looked towards the drops.
Either way, he did get extra stuff since he killed the two Fallen Angels.

Outside one of the Three Great Dungeons, the Land of Death, there were many Guilds that had established a base of operations to facilitate raiding the Dungeon.
Meanwhile, inside Dark Star's base of operations...
"The Arclight Shield is already in our hands now, so the MT problem has been dealt with. The next thing we need to do is to snatch the First Clear of the Land of Death right in front of everyone," Lone Tyrant said in high spirits.
Lone Tyrant had spent a lot of effort in order to acquire the Arclight Shield. In order to quickly collect the required 30 Gold Coins, he had played the role of the gullible fool and purchased them at an overpriced value of 700,000 Credits. However, now that the actual item was in his hands, Dark Star would officially become the second Guild in White River City to start raiding the Hard Mode of one of the Three Great Dungeons.
Previously, the main reason why Dark Star had been surpassed by Ouroboros was the insufficient strength of their MT. Now, however, the situation was different. With their newly acquired Arclight Shield, Dark Star would be competing with Ouroboros on a level playing field.
As for the other Guilds, Dark Star had no reason to be fearful of them.
Even if Zero Wing had better shields, they were only a recently established Guild. They did not possess the backing required to raid the Three Great Dungeons.
At this moment, however, a System Announcement rang out...
White River City Region System Announcement: Congratulations to Zero Wing for becoming the first team to conquer the Hell Mode Demon's Castle. All players within the team will be rewarded with 40 Reputation Points in White River City, 10 Reputation Points in Star-Moon Kingdom, 300,000 EXP, and 10 Silver Coins.
White River City Region System Announcement: Congratulations to Zero Wing for becoming the fastest team to conquer the Hell Mode Demon's Castle. All players within the team will be rewarded with 40 Reputation Points in White River City, 10 Reputation Points in Star-Moon Kingdom, 300,000 EXP and one Tier 2 Gemstone of random Attribute.
...
The announcement was repeated three times.
Lone Tyrant was dumbfounded by this announcement.
He was very clear about what sort of Dungeon the Demon's Castle was. If not for the fact that the First Clear of the Three Great Dungeons was too important to them, Dark Star would have long since started raiding the Demon's Castle.
However, Zero Wing had gotten the drop on them and secretly taken the First Clear of the Demon's Castle. Moreover, it was the First Clear of the Hell Mode Demon's Castle...
Currently, Ouroboros was the only Guild in White River City that could successfully raid a 20-man Hard Mode Dungeon. However, that capability was limited to the Level 10 low-difficulty Dungeons, and not a Level 15 high-difficulty Dungeon.
"How did they do it? Aren't they just a recently established Guild?" Lone Tyrant could not make sense of the situation. "Did that Ye Feng help them in secret? Even so, they still shouldn't be able to clear it. That's a 20-man Dungeon; there is a limit to one person's strength."
"Boss, do you want us to go investigate?" an Assassin asked.
"No need. The Three Great Dungeons takes priority. Zero Wing has only obtained the First Clear of the Demon's Castle. By the time we obtain the First Clear of the Land of Death, Zero Wing would only serve as a foil to make Dark Star look even better." Lone Tyrant shook his head, a contemptuous smile on his face.
Although Lone Tyrant acted dismissively towards Zero Wing's achievement, the other Guilds in White River City did not. In addition, the independent players in White River City were also greatly astonished by Zero Wing's achievement.
Before, not everyone felt that Zero Wing really deserved to be ranked as one of the top six Guilds of White River City. After all, the only real achievement of the Guild was its monopoly of the top eight positions on the Ranking List; nothing else about the Guild was worth mentioning. Now that they had obtained the First Clear of the Hell Mode Demon's Castle, it showed that Dungeon-raiding was no longer a weakness of Zero Wing.
This situation had caused many gaming experts who were previously hesitant about joining Zero Wing to change their minds.
The reason being, Zero Wing was the second Guild in White River City to have successfully cleared a 20-man Hell Mode Dungeon. Moreover, the Dungeon they had cleared was a Level 15 Dungeon, the highest-leveled Dungeon that players could currently enter. This showed that their strength had surpassed the other Guilds by a large margin.
---
Just as the players in White River City were fervently discussing this matter, Feng's team started distributing their spoils of war.
Gaia had dropped the same stuff as in the previous timeline, which was distributed as needed. However the drops from each of the two fallen angels were even better than Gaia's, dropping multiple Dark-Gold weapons and equipment along with some valuable designs and materials.
After leaving the Demon's Castle, Feng allowed everyone to go ahead with their own agendas while he headed to the City Hall of White River City.
When Feng arrived at the reception room of the City Hall, the Tier 4 Wizard Weissman was still as leisurely as he was before. Weissman currently stood by the window, a peaceful expression on his face as he observed the plaza outside the City Hall.
"Young man, you're here. I've already heard about your achievements from that little girl, Sharlyn." Before Feng had even entered the room, Weissman had already detected his presence. At this time, Weissman moved away from the window and walked towards Feng. He then nodded his head, a smile on his face as he said, "Not bad! Truly not bad at all! I never imagined a day would come when this old man would misjudge somebody! Hahaha!"
"Not only have you slain Gaia, you have also saved the entire White River City. I don't even know how I should reward you for your efforts.
"How about this? With the power vested in me, from this day onwards, you are a Viscount of White River City!
"With your strength, I believe you should be able to protect that place. Take this Blacksteel's Contract here and head over to that place, then."
System: Unique Quest "Demon's Heart" completed.
Quest rewards: Position of Viscount in White River City, Blacksteel's Contract, 500,000 EXP, 50 Free Mastery Points, and 2 Gold Coins.
"Right, I nearly forgot to mention, that little girl, Sharlyn, said she has some matters that she needs to speak with you about. She is at the Stargazing Tower right now. If you have nothing else to do, you should go see that little girl. You don't want to miss out on a rare opportunity," Weissman said, giving Feng a meaningful smile.
"Alright. I'll visit Lady Sharlyn when I have time." Feng responded before turning around and leaving.
After leaving the City Hall, Feng headed towards the Purple Sun Mansion located in the Trade Area of White River City. On the way he looked at his Free Mastery Points. Seeing that he had 65 unused points, he placed them into one-handed sword mastery, pushing him to a Basic Sword Master. His damage was now increased by 30% with one-handed swords.
The Purple Sun Mansion was originally the official residence of a Count. However, this Count had mysteriously disappeared inside the Purple Sun Mansion over half a century ago. In the following decades, every new owner of the residence would also mysteriously disappear overnight. An answer was never found for their disappearance, and ultimately, the residence was sealed by the city more than a decade ago. Moreover, the city had even stationed guards in front of the residence, preventing anyone from entering the place.
It went without saying that the area the Purple Sun Mansion occupied, as the official residence of a count, was one of the largest within the Trade Area of White River City. Even though Feng was now a Viscount, the personal land he could purchase would be less than a third of the Purple Sun Mansion.
Although it was currently daytime in God's Domain, with the sun shining brightly up in the sky, the Purple Sun Mansion was surrounded by a depressing atmosphere. It even gave others an eerie feeling. However, this residence occupied a very large plot of land, and it was also situated in the heart of White River City; it was definitely prime real estate.
Just as Feng arrived in front of the steel gate of the Purple Sun Mansion, the captain of the stationed guards walked up to them, blocking his path.
"This is a forbidden location of White River City. Those unrelated, please leave," the guard captain berated.
"Don't tell me even I am not allowed entry?" Feng revealed his title of Viscount.
"So it is Lord Viscount. Forgive this humble one for not recognizing my lord. However, Magistrate Weissman has personally given orders that nobody is allowed entry into this place, and even if it is you, Lord Viscount, I am afraid that I cannot allow you to enter." The guard captain suddenly grew respectful when speaking to Feng.
"What about this?" Feng took out the Blacksteel's Contract this time.
The guard captain was shocked after seeing this piece of paper.
After all, this paper was the deed to the Purple Sun Mansion. In other words, from this moment onwards, the Purple Sun Mansion was the private territory of the Viscount before him.
"Since Lord Viscount has already become the owner of this place, of course this humble one would not stop my lord from entering," the guard captain said carefully. He then added, "However, there is something very strange about this Purple Sun Mansion. If my lord is planning to enter, please exercise caution."
"I understand." Feng nodded in reply.
Following which, the eight guards moved away from the entrance, allowing Feng entry into the residence. Feng soon arrived inside the main building of the Purple Sun Mansion.
After remaining vacant for over a decade, the interior of the mansion was fully covered in a layer of dust. Weeds could even be seen growing in certain locations inside the mansion. The interior of the building looked extremely dilapidated, as if it could collapse at any moment. Not to mention people, even rats would not want to live in this place.
Feng immediately headed towards the basement. When he arrived at the flight of stairs, Feng suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing over his face. He could also hear an indistinct voice whispering by his ears, as if calling him to descend the stairs.
Ignoring the paranormal phenomena, Feng went down the stairs and into the basement.
After entering the basement of the Purple Sun Mansion, Feng took a look around, finding nothing special about the place. The entire room was empty. There was none of the cold wind from before, neither was there the oppressive feeling that could shock even one's soul.
Feng didn't bother looking around and immediately turned around, going back up the stairs
When Feng climbed back up, the scene was completely different from before. No longer was it the empty, dilapidated hall they had seen. Instead, the sight that greeted Feng after he exited the staircase was an intricate labyrinthine corridor. It was as if he had arrived at an entirely different place.
At this moment, a notification sounded from the system.
System: Player has discovered the Forgotten Lands. All communications to the outside world are temporarily disabled.
Feng immediately activated Rocket Boost and started flying towards the Magic Arrays according to his memory. As the labyrinth was rather large it took Feng around twenty minutes to find all five Magic Arrays. As soon as he found the fifth Magic Array and the information appeared on his map, a notification sounded from the system...
System: Unique Quest "Miracles Unsealed" activated.
Quest details: Remove the seal on the Forgotten Lands.
Quest rewards: Unknown.
Feng changed directions as soon as the system notification sounded, heading towards the center of the Magic Arrays. After a little over five minutes, Feng arrived outside the central region. If he wished to enter the place, he needed to go through a very long crystalline pathway. However, there was a giant three-headed wolf made out of blue crystals blocking the entrance of the pathway.
[Crystal Warwolf] (Lord Rank)
Level 25
HP 300,000/300,000
Not caring much about the three headed doggo, Feng directly rushed forward. When the Crystal Warwolf realized that there was an intruder, a miniature sun had already cut it in half.
System: Level 25 Crystal Warwolf killed. Level difference of 8. EXP obtained increased by 800%. Obtained 546,335 EXP.
The same as last time, the Crystal Warwolf had dropped a Seven Luminaries Key that can be used up to three times to open a Dark-Gold Treasure Chest and a Level 20 Fine-Gold ranked plate-armor wrist guard.
Feng turned towards the Dark-Gold treasure chest sitting beside the pathway. Walking up to it, Feng inserted the key.
Kachak!
The lid of the purple-gold-colored treasure chest popped open slightly. Multicolored lights escaped between the gap, the lights illuminating even areas that were several hundred yards away. If this treasure chest had been opened out in the fields, it would definitely cause a huge commotion and attract many players to come and snatch it. Fortunately, there was only Feng in the Forgotten Lands.
After the multicolored lights faded away, Feng reached into the treasure chest. The treasure chest contained a total of three items. Of them, two were Dark-Gold Equipment, while one was a Forging Manual.
The two Dark-Gold Equipment were the Crystal Armor and the Boots of Extreme Speed.
[Crystal Armor] (Chest Piece, Plate Armor, Dark-Gold Rank)
Level 20
Equipment Requirement: Strength 120, Agility 140
Defense +140
Strength +24, Agility +21, Endurance +20
Restricted to Swordsman.
Additional Passive Skill-
Smart Outbreak: Every time user receives damage, Strength and Agility increased by 2% for 15 seconds. Stacks up to 5 times.
Since Feng's current chestplate's attributes were much higher than the Crystal Armor's, and the only perk of the Crystal Armor was the passive skill, Feng didn't bother with it. After all, what use was the skill if Feng never received damage? Although he could take damage on purpose to activated the passive, Feng didn't think it was necessary.
[Boots of Extreme Speed] (Shoes, Leather Armor, Dark-Gold Rank)
Level 20
Equipment Requirement: Strength 90, Agility 130
Defense +143,
Strength +20, Agility +26, Endurance +18
Movement Speed +10
Evasion +7
Additional Passive Skill-
Rapid Movement: Increases Movement Speed by 12% and Agility by 8%.
In regard to Assassins and Rangers, the most sought-after Attribute for these two classes was Agility, followed by Strength. Meanwhile, this pair of boots increased the wearer's Agility to the extremes. One could even argue that no other Level 20 Dark-Gold ranked shoes could increase Agility as much as the Boots of Extreme Speed could.
Although these two pieces of Dark-Gold Equipment were decent, they were worth barely a fragment of the true value of this Dark-Gold Treasure Chest.
After all, the item that reflected the true value of the Dark-Gold Treasure Chest was none other than the Forging Manual. In addition, it was even a Fine-Gold ranked Forging Manual. Forging Manuals were different from Forging Designs. In the case of Forging Designs, only one particular piece of equipment could be made using it. In the case of Forging Manuals, however, an entire set of equipment could be made using it.
This Forging Manual was meant to produce the Level 20 Dragonscale Set Equipment. There were a total of six pieces in this set, and it could be worn by any class that could use plate armor.
Feng then entered the crystal pathway.
The crystal pathway was so long that one could not see the end of it in a single glance. Moreover, the Elemental Mana present in this pathway was extremely dense, so much so that it was even visible in the form of an aurora. It was an absolutely stunning sight to behold. Aside from being visually appealing, the dense Mana also gave him a buff, increasing the magic damage he could deal by 300%. One could simply imagine how dense the Elemental Mana was in this pathway.
As Feng already knew what was at the end of the crystal pathway, he didn't bother walking, and instead ran down it. Within less than two minutes, Feng exited the crystal pathway. When Feng emerged, he was at the base of a huge mountain made of Seven Luminaries Crystals.
As he gazed at the mountain of wealth, Feng licked his lips. He had previously put plenty of effort into preparing for this moment. Judging by the mountain's size, it was as big as White River City, and should contains tens of millions of Seven Luminaries Crystals.
Although it was impossible for Feng to take all of it, he'd be damned if he let it off with just looking at it like he did in his previous life. If he didn't mine out enough to last him for his future plans until he got deposits of more Seven Luminaries Crystals, his name would not be Shi Reincarnator Feng.
Feng quickly switched to his mining gear. Taking out his Epic rank Holy Pickaxe and placing it on his shoulder, Feng held the Holy Cavers Orb and inserted Magic Crystals into it.
"Time to get to mining, boys." After placing 65,000 Magic Crystals into the Holy Cavers Orb, Feng summoned 50 Basic Master Miners and 50 Advanced Miners.
Although Feng had plenty of Magic Crystals, he didn't know exactly how long it would take to mine all the Seven Luminaries Crystals he could carry. As he didn't want to waste any Magic Crystals, Feng opted to only summon the maximum amount of Basic Master Miners instead of Advanced Master Miners, while filling in the rest with Advanced Miners and having them stay close to him, so they'll receive the boost from the Holy Pickaxe's passive skill Holy Miner's Aura[4], boosting them to Basic Master Miners; just enough to mine the Seven Luminaries Crystals.
As the phantom miners appeared, Feng commanded the Master Miners to spread out and mine a bit further away, while the Advanced Miners mined within thirty yards of Feng.
As such, time went on with Feng mining while Aqua took care of the guild. Meanwhile, the ones who just got their memories and Fire searched for Legacies and cleared dungeons.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. In case the realms in my fanfic aren't clear, it goes: Half-step Refinement Realm, Refinement Realm, Flowing Water Realm, Void Realm, First step Domain Realm, Second step Domain Realm, Third step Domain Realm, Peak Domain Realm, Half-step Beyond Domain Realm, Beyond Domain Realm. Of course, not all in the same realm have equal progression in it. And the Beyond Domain Realm is probably further divided
For the realms of truth it's: Truth Realm, Ascension Realm, Transcendental Realm, Beyond Transcendental Realm (which isn't cannon, it's the standard where one can integrate Silver Combat Techniques into their every movement; while the previous three were for Basic, Advanced and Bronze techniques. Since it doesn't have a name in the novel, I'm just gonna call it like this. Also, I previously said in one of the early chapters that SF was at the Transcendental Realm, but I didn't know the silver technique realm was a different thing at the time, so I've changed it to the Beyond Transcendental Realm. I also once said that Cola, VC and FD were at the Transcendental Realm, but I'm changing them to be at the BT Realm as well), Fate Tealm (which similarly doesn't have a cannon name in the novel, so I came up with one. It's the standard of War Goddesses, which is Gold Combat Technique in every movement)
2. Not cannon. Something I came up with.
3. Pretty sure they aren't actual Fallen Angels, and instead either just have it in their name, or a bit of the fallen angels bloodline.
4. Added later on
