Chapter 362: - We’ve Found the Blade Phantom
Leon was lounging at the rooftop café of a hotel that night, with Freya sitting across from him. It just so happened to be a Saturday night. While Lily was out with her friends, here he was, accompanied by the super assistant, Freya.
For the most part, they spent the evening in silence-Leon sipping his drink, nibbling on food, and lost in thought as the background music played. It was clear that his recent in-game activities, particularly the Hell expedition, had drained him, making a relaxing evening like this much needed.
"So... do you think Marlene might start hunting you down after all this?" Freya finally broke the silence, cutting a piece of cake with her fork and taking a bite.
"Yes," Leon sighed. "What do you think I should do, Freya?"
"Running was the right call," she replied. "In your current state, without your gear, I don't think you'd stand a chance against her. And I agree with your decision to keep this under wraps for now. If too many people find out you've received more blessings than others, they'll come after you, and that could be very bad news."
"Yes, I think so too," he replied. "If they knew my current level, it would definitely raise a lot of questions. Especially since not all members of the Shadow Wolves trust me."
Freya giggled at his words. "Can't blame them. In their eyes, you're still an enemy, you know? The fact that they even let you join this expedition is already something."
Broken nodded and then continued, "So, what about that important thing you mentioned from the Ass Guild?"
Freya nodded back and then began recounting in detail her conversation with Elincia and the others.
After hearing the details from Freya about the Envy Champion and the possibility of the Divine Champion status could be transferred to anyone else, Broken started to contemplate how such a thing could be possible.
"I'm going to try to figure out how the status of a Divine Champion could be transferred," he said. "Though it seems foolish for anyone to willingly give that up. The value of such a status is immense."
Just then, a notification from the egg came out.
[The Fetus, bored with the same Mana over and over. It needs Mana from higher creatures, a royal, something slightly above lesser creatures.]
Broken furrowed his brow. A royal and higher creature? What does that even mean?
He tried supplying his Mana again, but the egg rejected it. The progress was still stuck at 78%, and with the limited time he had left in this place, he worried that he wouldn't be able to
fulfill the progress in time.
Higher-status creatures? What does that even mean? A royal family member? Like a king or something? His mind raced with questions.
Damn, how was he supposed to find something like that in a place like this? And on top of that, convince them to supply Mana to a freaking egg?!
"Hey little friend, I'm a Divine Champion, my Mana has a nice flavor. You should drink it all up, okay? I promise it won't do you any harm," he said, trying to coax the egg as he attempted to supply his Mana again-only to be rejected.
Damn it! Where could he possibly find higher creatures or some kind of royalty in Hell?
Anyway, later tonight, he and the others were going to attend the auction. Could it be possible to find what he needed there? But getting someone or something-to supply Mana? That seemed like a stretch.
Just then, another private message came through-it was from Subaru.
"Broken, come here, we've found the Blade Phantom," the message read.
