The crowd was admittedly surprised to have looked away for a moment, only to turn back and see that the duel that they were so intent on seeing had already come to an end. While many were angry at the person that caused the noise that distracted them, the rest were dejected over the fact that they missed such an amazing fight. As for the teams behind both parties involved in the duel, one set had ugly expressions while the other was all smiles.
With the duel now over after the forceful intervention from the system, both parties stood up straight as they stared at each other. On one hand, there was Kirou with his signature expression and on the other, Davy Jones was looking quite dejected. He honestly never expected for the duel to have ended in such a manner, with him losing to a single attack that proc'd a very high critical figure, even under the limitations of the duel mode. Davy Jones could tell that if they were in a deathmatch as opposed to the sparring mo
When Navi returned to the underground cave with Reya, the table was set up for three people, with two cups of tea prepared for them to partake in while Kirou continued to stare at the lake. The two silently approached the table and took a seat before their respective cups.Without even turning around, Kirou opened up his menu and forwarded the video he received from his informant to both girls, slowly enjoying his tea in the process. A few seconds later, both girls received the video and tacitly agreed to watch it in silence. Like that, the girls sat there in silence as they watched the recording.At some point, Kirou had ceased his viewing of the underground lake and was now staring at both women, gauging their reactions, both conscious and subconscious on their part, as they watched the video. By the time both girls had finished watching the video, a gloomy expression was all that Kirou could see on their faces. He nodded slightly at this
Instead of clearing up their thoughts, Kirou's words only drove the group into further confusion. Seeing this reaction, Kirou had no choice but to explain his plans to them thoroughly."This entire area, from the cliff over there to roughly five meters deep into the treeline next to us is considered my private property. And this doesn't mean just the surface here or the underground cavern either, but everything in between as well. With that thought in mind, I want you guys to secure the first layer below us first before we truly get started on developing above ground. The reason for this stems from the fact that I don't plan on making a large settlement above ground where we'll have to constantly cut down the forest, which would come back to bite us in the form of a monster stampede. If something like that happens here, we'd be up sh*t creek without a paddle to save us, since this area is a literal cliff."As Kirou spoke, he took out a rando
[Skill Generated: Aura Strike]Skill: Aura StrikeSkill Level: 1/10Rank: C (SSS)Cost: 5% and up HP/MP/EPSkill Creator/Generator: KirouDescription: A skill created by player [Kirou]. This skill allows its user to focus their energy on a body part or weapon and release the built-up energy in a concentrated blast on a single point. The damage ranges from anywhere between 100% - 3000%, based on the amount of energy and the number of energy sources used (health, mana, and energy). This skill comes with the downside of the energy used to activate this skill will take five times as long to regenerate naturally and items used for its recovery will only be one-fifth as effective, so caution is HIGHLY advised when choosing the power source of this skill. Also, should the user sacrifice all three energy types in activating this skill, the user will be left with just 1 point across all power sources.Looking over the skill curre
While Kirou(?) was currently making his way back to the surface, Mistaken Fox's Stone Axe Minotaur and Bandit Warrior Jackson's squad have made quite a dent into the rock before them. Right now, the entire group has managed to clear roughly twelve meters of space within just a few hours of work. In fact, the group would have gotten much further in their excavation if they didn't have to clear out the excess rock and sand in their way.It was around this time that the squad members on the surface finally manage to put together a simple pully and lever system to aid with the removal of the excess rock and sand. Because of this, a few of the diggers put down their pickaxes and grabbed shovels as they started clearing away the debris. With the debris being cleared away from the area, even with the reduced number of diggers, the excavation sped up once more, this time in a much more efficient manner.This is what Kirou(?) came to witness when he
As soon as Kirou logged in, he realized that he was back in the hut created by his clones. Before he could even get off of the bed, he noticed that he had a few unread messages from the system. This surprised Kirou as he didn't recall seeing those messages before he logged out earlier. Since he had the time, Kirou decided to check out the messages that he received.[System: Due to your repeated actions of trying to manipulate your mental energy, this action has been recognized by the 'System' and a skill has been generated.][Generating skill.....][Skill Generated: Shadow Clone: Mind Transfer]Skill: Shadow Clone: Mind TransferSkill Level: 1/5Rank: C (A)Cost: 50MP or 50EPSkill Creator/Generator: KirouDescription: This skill was accidentally created by Player [Kirou] while he was trying to locate and send a message to his distant shadow clones.

Having spoken up to this point, the trio was pretty much informed on Kirou's proposal and now all that was left was for them to think it over on their own. Kirou wasn't in a rush to receive their answers so he gave them some time to think it over.After everyone enjoyed another cup of tea, Kirou and the rest decided to end their break and started heading back to the surface. The girls had to go back to refining medicine and finding herbs to do so. As for the guys, Mistaken Fox had to go back and join his Stone Axe Minotaur in digging while Kirou had a construction project of his own.The five players took a little over ten minutes to get back to the surface. By the time they got to the top, the group was greeted by the sight of all the NPCs resting. It looked like the former bandits were taking rests in shifts, giving those still digging more space to work and to ensure that the digging never truly stopped for too long.
Jackson looked at Kirou with an appreciative smile and gave him a thumbs-up before he entered the stone cottage himself. While Jackson did this, other members of his squad that were now on their break decided to check out the cottage as well. Seeing all of those NPCs being curious, a small smile formed on Kirou's face as he went over to another large dirt pile. Although he still had a few piles of bricks left, Kirou decided to make some more for another project. This time, Kirou summoned out his other pets to help. When both Tank and Shadow Arachne materialized next to him, both admittedly looked at Kirou with slightly confused expressions. Besides them, both Navi and Reya were now looking at Kirou with curiosity written over both of their faces. Kirou caught a glimpse of this from the corner of his eyes but he acted ignorant of the fact as he spoke to both of his pets. Kirou gave Tank a shov
Wang Xu was currently standing by one of the double doors in the train, thinking over what had just happened. Although he wasn't a stranger to being spied upon, that was only in situations when people were aware of who he was and the kind of job that he may be on at the time. In this case, Wang Xu was positive that he fits neither category at the moment so that must mean that those gazes on him were hostile for some other reason.And it was at this point that he remembered that besides those four hostile gazes, there were another two that he was aware of but he wasn't able to find before he had to leave. Thinking back on it, while he had no idea who the hostile gazes belonged to, he had a curious suspicion as to whom the remaining two neutral gazes belonged to. That being said, this wasn't all that important to Wang Xu at the moment so he'll address it if he has time at a later date.With those thoughts now behind him, Wang Xu removed a cert
