At the same time, Alex was fighting against the men who came to hunt him down under his provocation; in another city, Gracier was fighting against the leader of the Red Coffin guild.
Broc, the leader of the Red Coffin guild, punched the air trying to crush Gracier's petite body, but she dodged before putting some distance between them.
Before Broc could pursue her, Gracier flashed and appeared in front of Broc in the blink of an eye.
Her small fist with black flames hit Broc's chest brutally. Broc hurriedly tried to lessen the blow by transforming his body into a mist, his special ability, which he was proud of.
Broc's body turned into mist which entangled Gracier.
Gracier snickered and ignited a black flame containing terrifying destruction power. Broc's mist form also made a squeaking sound. He could not maintain it in the end, so he had to revert to his physical form. His left arm below the elbow had already turned into coke.
The Dark Flame, which Gracier manipulated, seemed to be the natural restraint for such intangible tricks. It was all Broc's lousy luck. Otherwise, with such ability power, he would not be defeated so quickly.
Broc didn't have time to take care of the injury of his arm. He bit the tip of his tongue to regain his consciousness.
Suddenly, he felt like the surrounding heat was rushing toward them at fast speed; although he was severely injured, Gracier was also injured; her left hand was hanging limply as if snapped; however, a smile never left Gracier's face.
Broc knew that if he was to say here he would die, his man must be coming here after he sent that signal, but he couldn't be sure that he would still be alive by then. He never expected that this solo mission would become ; just as he arrived, he was ambushed by Gracier, who used a hit and run tactic to exhaust his stamina before fighting against him, the result he was about to die.
''Just wait and see.''
Immediately following Broc's declaration, his shoes were ignited, propelling into the sky; he controlled his body and landed on the ground and started running; however, he hadn't run far before his body froze as an unknown language reached his brain.
''Nonté#!" {Don't move}
Gracier was panting; she had just used dragon tongue, a special dragon language. She could only say a few words, but those words have a strong effect on the world and require a massive amount of mana, while the amount of stamina it consumes is vast as well.
Gracier quickly drank stamina and mana potion before tapping her foot on the ground, and a beautiful yet deadly fire lotus bloomed and swallowed Broc's body; he couldn't even scream as his body started to turn into ash; suddenly, he saw something that would hunt him down for a long time, from the sky a meteor fell, it directly fell on the group coming at his rescue.
A world-ending blast occurred, turning into a gigantic mushroom cloud. Simultaneously, crimson flames carrying a terrific heat rippled outwards as shockwaves destroyed everything in their wake.
With just one blow, one attack, more than fifty men died, Broc whose body had almost disappeared, felt fear; at the moment, it was not a human facing him, but a monster, a dragon, a terrifying being one should never mess with.
That was Broc, the guild master of the Red Coffin guild's last word.
Gracier heaved a sigh of relief; everything worked out; she was particularly tired, she wanted to rest, but first, she must hear that sweet sound. Suddenly, a notification rang out, and upon hearing it, Gracier smiled.
[Ding!... Hidden quest completed.
Reward: +1 level, 500 Gold coins, 2000 Fame points, special token.]
''Huh? A special token?'' Gracier mumbled, shocked; she had not anticipated something ; however, it was not a bad thing.

''I think it's the time for me to use my skill points, but first, I must check what this special token is.''
Gracier brought the unique token; it was like a small bronze key, and immediately upon wishing to see the description about this special token, a small window appeared.
[Special Token: Akila's key. Akila is said to be the greatest teleportation mage to have ever existed; this, he created numerous magic devices such as teleportation scroll or instant warp gate. This special token is one of his creations.
By crushing it, you can be teleported to the capital from anywhere you are; it may be at the other end of the world; just by crushing it, you will instantly appear where the Tower is.
PS: One-time use; it will immediately crumble after being used.
''Wow! What a nice item. With this, I don't need to pay gold coins and fame points to travel to the capital. Hehehehe! Just wait for me, big brother. I'll come to the capital soon and even if you have not arrived yet I'm sure I will encounter others there and maybe create something.
Fufufu! I can't wait to be there and challenge the tower, this time; I'll become strong, strong enough to protect you, brother.''
Gracier declared before departing; she decided to leave in a few days.
