"T--This must be the last region inside this floor." wheezing heavily like he had just engaged in a hour long marathon, Henri held both blades in a defensive stance. At the same time, he stole a glance at the floating system window that currently displayed a rapidly depleting timer. —[ Mystery Quest Time Limit: Thirty Minutes Remaining ] Having fought rounds upon rounds of respawning Ghost Mirage Lich, Henri's understanding in regards to Haunt Gates mechanics and infrastructure ending up experiencing a sharp progress. During his initial arrival, it had taken him over fifteen minutes just to eliminate the first batch of Ghost Mirage Lich. But upon understanding the mechanics of their special abilities, he spent the next fifteen minutes battling two batches of Ghost Mirage Lich—several times more coordinated than the first batch he initially encountered. At the same time, he also discovered the secret of the Gate respawning mechanism—while a Fiend could respawn several times, it

—[ Congratulations, a True Oath has been established.]—[ Player will receive the True Oath Clauses, shortly.] Although a couple more notifications dings echoed faintly in Henri's head, his attention was immediately stolen by the sudden emergence of a commotion. He threw his gaze forward, only to notice over a dozen fireballs making their way towards his direction. Easily seeing through the illusions via Sage Eyes Mode, Henri executed a fluid backward retreat. Immortal Butterfly Steps As Henri blinked his way out from the trajectory path of the orbs of flames, the attacks slammed into the ground. As soon as the attack made contact, they left behind searing hot scorched marks. Henri was more than impressed as he watched this phenomenon play out. "Not only can they manifest Illusionary attacks, they can also manifest illusory effects as well." If Henri didn't have a cheat like the True Vision system function, he had little doubts he would have been able to resist the effect o

—[ Player has eliminated +1 Lvl 10 Fiend!] As soon as the headless corpse of the last Ghost Mirage Lich in the first floor collapsed on the ground, a series of notification dings echoed loudly in Henri's head. At the same time, he finally relaxed. He smoothly deactivated the Genesis Forge special talent, which caused the Klypt Gauntlet as well as the Firmament Piercing Blades to scatter into loose digital particles. Having intentionally restrained himself from using Omni Killer on the boss of the first floor, a smile cracked across Henri's exhausted expression once his eyes landed on the floating vital core. As soon as Henri grabbed the vital core, he checked his current progress. Sweeping his gaze past the active timer, he noticed he still kad roughly twenty three minutes before the Mystery Quest duration window came to an end. Adding the vital core he just obtained after having defeated the floor boss, Henri carefully arranged the vital cores that numbered over a dozen, acr

"Prime?" an ugly look flashed across Henri's expression as his grey eyes roamed past the transfigured Deva that had just emerged from the Gamma Triangle. His brows twisted further once he recognized the get up of the Deva was in no way similar to that of the male Devas in the Enforcement Vanguard Corp which Tesla currently led. Instead, the new Deva's combat skin was a monochrome ensemble of dark matte material. The durable long sleeve combat shirt the Deva was clad in sported a lightweight integrated chest rig cinched across it in a muted charcoal. Rigid ballistic plating, sculpted with an aggressive, futuristic aesthetic, covered his shoulders and shins, contrasting with the dense, armored materials of his tactical trousers. A modular belt system wrapped around the Deva's waist, crowded with empty magazine pouches. The face of the Deva was obscured by a dark ballistic mask, leaving only his eyes visible through narrow slits, which glowed with a faint, uniform indigo light. A

An Annual Convergence Championship! In the Kaizen Sports Industry, this was the second most important medal a Kaizen Club could obtain, only slightly trailing behind the Grand Invitational Championship. Although both championships crowned a Kaizen Club as the absolute top dog among other clubs on a global scale, the Vanguard Annual Convergence was an event that rook placed on a yearly basis. Unlike the Vanguard Intercontinental Invitational which took place every two years. Regis didn't show much reaction when he heard his master's lofty ambitions. "Not a Continential Championship, but a Convergence Championship?" He continued. "You've really changed Master. I never took you to be a dreamer in the past." Gerald appeared to have been expecting such a response. He calmly placed down the mug he was holding. "You don't believe I can do it?" "No." Regis response was blunt and direct. "According to what I know, Delta City hasn't made it to a Wildcard Final in over a decade."
