Kirou looked at the now identified female archer with a casual smile on his face. instead of directly answering her question, he told her something else, "Why don't we take a trip back to that clearing for now. After seeing how quickly that bandit leader scrambled to chase after me after I dealt with the ambush party, I'm sure he's probably there waiting for you at the moment. Especially since you never stopped by the village to inform him you were gonna be later or leave him some kind of message."
After saying those words, Kirou took to the treetops and started making his way towards the aforementioned clearing. The female archer narrowed her eyes slightly at his last sentence before following his trail along the ground. Since she no longer needed to track him and she had to move fast, traveling along the ground was the smarter choice for her.
After a few moments of traveling like this, the female archer finally caught up who was taking his
Upon hearing the voice, both Kirou and the bandit archer turned to face its source, only to be greeted to the sight of Bandit Warrior Jack and his squad, all with a mix of emotions on their faces. Kirou could tell that something must have happened since he could see the strange expressions on their faces but it wasn't his place to ask about it. That said, he was curious so he decided to stay back and listen to the conversation that was about to take place.The female archer went up to Jackson and spoke, "Boss, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you and the rest of the squad be waiting for my return back to the village? And why do you guys seem so down?"Bandit Warrior Jackson had a wry smile on his face as he looked back between the female archer before him and Kirou who was now sitting under a tree in a meditative state. Although this was a private matter and he didn't want to discuss this with Kirou around, he also knew that they no longer

After roughly five minutes of running through the forest, Kirou finally made it to the entrance of the now ruined village. The sight of the charred remains of the village left a bad taste in Kirou's mouth but he didn't have enough time to dwell on it at the moment. Kirou took a tour around the village, searching for any possible clues that could aid him in his task. he kept at this for roughly twenty minutes, searching every nook and cranny of the village but the results were negative.Following this, Kirou gave the destroyed houses another search, this time looking for an item that may have possibly survived the fire. Whether it was a coincidence or not, the first house that Kirou searched just so happened to have belonged to Bandit Warrior Jackson. As Kirou searched the house from top to bottom, he came across a strange material hidden within the ashes of what he assumed was a weapon case.Kirou walked outside of the house and held up the
Taking off the gaming helmet, Wang Xu was greeted to the usual sight of his room's ceiling after logging out of Immortal Era. Reaching around for his phone, Wang Xu brought it up above his face and turned on the screen. Squinting his eyes slightly, Wang Xu noticed that it was now a quarter past two in the morning. Wang Xu found this weird as he remembered spending quite a bit of time gaming and the hours he spent online don't match up.Stretching his limbs a bit, Wang Xu got out of bed and went to the living room, where he turned on his laptop. That time difference was bugging him and he had to get to the bottom of it before he decided to log back in. After spending a few minutes searching the official website and the forums, Wang Xu finally got to know what the reason for the time difference that he felt was. It seems that with the end of the server-wide Exp buff event that ended two days ago, the company behind Immortal Era decided to implement a time dilation
The training center that Wang Xu was currently in has been in the neighborhood for a few years now. It went by the name 'Jade Dragon Training Center' and it was the work of a retired military officer by the name of Yang Jin Wan. Being an old man now, running the training center by himself wasn't ideal for his health, so he employed a few younger persons as trainers, most of them being the grandkids of his former comrades in arms.With so many young men and women now responsible for running the training center for Senior Yang, each with their own personalities and ideas, there would naturally be a bit of competition taking place between them. Senior Yang was naturally aware of this but allowed it, only on the condition that they keep normal civilians out of it.One of the methods in which these young men and women use to compete is with the various weights. At first, it was just a competition for who could lift more and last longer. Eventuall
It was roughly three in the afternoon when Wang Xu returned to his apartment. He had spent over an hour enjoying his lunch, packing away quite a bit, before he took a light walk around the neighborhood as he waited for the food to digest. To his credit, with the amount of weight training and jogging that he did that day, along with the somewhat dangerous practice of absorbing solar energy rays in the morning, he needed to eat at least that much to regain some nutrients in his body.Now in his apartment, Wang Xu was sitting on the floor in his living room in a meditative position, similar to what he does in-game. While doing this, Wang Xu was carefully controlling the energy flow in his body to direct the newly obtained nutrients to various locations. Although he couldn't direct all the nutrients where he wanted them to go, just being able to direct a portion of it was enough for him at the moment.After doing this for roughly fifteen minutes
After walking for over twenty minutes, both Kirou and Bladesmith's clone was now standing in a relatively open area. Kirou took in the surrounding area while the clone just stared at him with mirth in its eyes. Eventually, Kirou focused his eyes back on the clone before him radiating a slightly weaker but still potent beastlike aura like the original Bladesmith.Both stared at each other for a few seconds before the clone spoke up, "You better come at me with your best and with the intent to kill. Otherwise, you'll be in for a world of pain and suffer." The clone equipped a pair of beast-like claws, complementing the natural pair that it already has.Hearing those words prompted Kirou to chuckle as he faced the clone standing a few feet away from him. This caused the clone to narrow its eyes slightly as it stared at Kirou. Seeing this, Kirou made a deliberate show of putting on his wired gloves as he spoke, "It's quite funny for you to say t
Staring at the horrified expression of the clone standing before him, a weak smile formed on Kirou's face as he released a sigh. His final ace had secured him the win in this BS boxing match. Allowing his body to relax, albeit slightly, Kirou spoke up underneath his breath, "With this, I've secured my class advancement and can move on to my other projects now."Along with Kirou's words and him relaxing his body, another change took place in the clearing. His usually invisible wires started becoming visible bit by bit. This went on for roughly thirty seconds before what Bladesmith's clone could assume to be all of them finally being visible. The sight.... wasn't easy for anyone with a weak stomach to look at.Each thread was extremely thin, so seeing enough to completely restrict all of the clone's movements, contain the surrounding area, and further secure the first two sets in that order, how could the clone not be horrified. In fact, it ha
