"Looking at all these rewards, it makes me feel like the universe is my sugar mommy," Kent smiled as he took a rectangular-shaped item from his tower storage.
⟪Name: Tower City (Your Dream City)⟫
→ Build your dream city by designing and bringing it all together using this device.
→ All you need to do is think of what you want to add, and when everything is done, the Tower will take care of the rest for free.
→ Note: More than one person can work on designing the City, so get creative and find creative minds.
The last time he asked about the budget for Tower City, she mentioned billions. Now, he gets to have it for free, and the best part is he wouldn't have to design it alone; he and his ladies can do it together.
This means that if he were to bring the beauty of Earth to the Tower, he could let his ladies also bring their imagination, and together, they would build a functioning city.
"Gaia is going to cry bitter tears," Kent smiled before taking the next item.
"I only have a B-ranked Dungeon Seeker Card that has a Peak Root Great Sage as the last floor boss. Now, I can upgrade the Seeker Card to the A-rank and will have a Peak Transcendent as the last floor boss.
I guess I'll do that now."
Kent retrieved the card and channelled his energy into it. Right when he did that, a pop-up appeared before his eyes.
⟪Do you want to upgrade the B-Rank Dungeon Seeker Card or the S-rank Dungeon Seeker Card?⟫
"B-Rank."
The B-rank has ten different dungeons he can visit, unlike the S-rank, which only allows him to enter a single dungeon.
This means he will be getting the option to enter 12 A-rank dungeons, which, from what he knew, will get him close to 6 Dungeon bosses.
He already has 6 dungeon master tokens he can use to claim the dungeons after using them.
⟪Congratulations, you have upgraded your Dungeon Seeker Card from B-rank to A-rank.⟫
Kent smiled, looking at the message. He had already seen what Transcendents can do, so having 10 on speed dial would come in handy.
"Or maybe I should just clear the S-rank dungeon instead. That will give me an Ascension stage expert as the last floor boss," Kent thought.
"But from what Gaia said, dungeons grow increasingly dangerous as their ranks increase, so I cannot underestimate these dungeons. I must tread carefully if I want to gather more bodies for powerful undead later."
After checking everything, he was left with the memory key. He retrieved it, and for a moment, he wanted to use it, but then he knew things would change after leaving the memory, so he relaxed.
He still had the Sword Bridge to challenge, and winning that with memories from his past would be a cheat.
He had already failed once; he wouldn't want to win it now, knowing it was because of his past memories influencing him.
"Aside from this, I still have two more on the way. I must relax and challenge the Sword Bridge first since I have progressed by leaps and bounds this past time before the battle with the evil sect.
I wouldn't be happy knowing I won only because of Jest. Though he was me, I still need to make my own achievements even if he helped a little."
"On the other hand," he grinned as he exited the tower, appearing atop the mountain Kaizo had taken him to 15 days ago.
The moment he appeared, he noticed the disturbances in the space around him. They looked worn out, so from the look of things, they were left by those who came after him and Kaizo 15 days ago.
"They never learn," Kent smirked.
He sat down and closed his eyes. Then, using the connection between him and the shadow spider, he linked to it. It's hidden inside the shadow of Bright Faywood.
"Tsk, he even has the audacity to be getting a massage at this time of day," Kent, who now had the eyes of the shadow spider, could see someone massaging the shoulders of that family head who was about to die.
"On the other hand, dying after such a pleasant massage wouldn't be bad for him," he smiled and started to wait.
Two hours later, Bright Faywood entered a small room and sat in a chair. After a while, he picked up a crystal and spoke into it.
"Gandh, what is the progress on tracking down that brat?" he asked, and a voice spoke from the other end.
"We are currently hiding near the Divine Palace Sect with a few spies already inside. We have also bribed some elders within the sect, so we are on track to getting him the moment he appears again inside the sect.
Of course, right now, more than 15 families are after him. I've even heard some ancestors from some of the Noble Families are after him now.
Getting their hands on those battle dolls is a must. But aside from getting the battle dolls, they have even made provisions to capture him alive and enslave him.
But we won't allow them."
"Alright. Keep me updated, and if anything goes wrong, don't forget to use the token to call our allies. They are also keeping tabs on him, and it will be best if we gain more favor from them."
"I will, my lord."
Bright set the communication crystal down and sighed. He looked out the window and smiled.
"Soon"
"The moment I get my hands on that doll, I will visit that place and mine that ore," he grinned.
"The brat thought a fist-sized meteor could rival the one I have. Haha, I will show this whole world after I use the ore to upgrade those dolls that my Faywood Noble Family is not to be trifled with.
Our history is long, so I know how best to bring out the full potential of those dolls. The moment I get my hands on them, I will become the man."
His laughter grew as he rubbed his palms together like a thief staring at a treasure chest.
Kent, who saw and heard everything, smiled. "Too bad you'll be dying before that. But thanks—after your death, I'll know where this ore is and how to get it."
He looked at the grinning man and gave the order.
Suddenly, the smile froze on Bright's face as something pointy stabbed him through the heart.
Just like that, one of the ancient families on the human continent lost its head, and all his secrets became Kent's.
