As the snake died, Dorian wanted to put its body into his storage ring so that he could process the materials and sell them. But he was surprised that the trapped spirit wolf had escaped, and was about to bit the dead snake.

Dorian didn't do anything, curious to see what would happen. He was shocked by what happened next. The wolf bite the snake, and pulled. But it's body didn't move, instead an illusory snake was dragged out of the body.

Dorian never expected the wolf to have this kind of ability, it was never mentioned in the equipment skills. But everything didn't go as planned.

After extracting what seemed to be the snake's spirit, it didn't just let itself get eaten, but instead fought back. And again, it was stronger when it was alive, so it was still stronger.

Dorian felt like helping the wolf to see what would happen. They were spirits, so he knew how he could help them.

With a mental command, the five spirits he had enslaved and kept in his mind were released. They were way weaker than the two, but their numbers allowed them to distract the snake, allowing the wolf to take the advantage.

After weakening it a lot, Dorian ordered them to stop, and watched the wolf. It pounced on the snake and ate it. Or maybe absorbed would be a more fitting term. Once the snake had fully disappeared, the wolf seemed to have grown a little, and it looked somewhat more materialistic.

Dorian sent back his spirits in his mind and searched for any change on [Arteon's Revenge], but wasn't able to find any change. So Dorian tried something else, that was to put the spirit under contract, just like he did with the spirit family.

The wolf didn't resist as it was dragged into his mind, and everything went smoothly. Only when he was about to finish the contract did a notification from the system appear:

[If you make [Alpha Wolf Spirit] your servant, your equipment [Arteon's Revenge] will be destroyed.]

With a shock, Dorian stopped everything. He didn't want that! Destroying the armor would make him lose 5 points in Strength, and that wasn't acceptable. The wolf would need to wait for him to find better bracers.

A second later, the wolf disappeared, coming back to his bracers. After thinking about it, it made sense. His five spirits from hell were able to evolve by eating other spirits, so why wouldn't it be able to too?

Dorian shook his head and went back to the surface to take a breath before going down again. The cave was dark like the abyss, no light was able to come in. Fortunately, Dorian's Holy Fire Essence was of a fire and holy essence, both of which were known for their brightness.

So applying it on his skin allowed him to create some light. But he also found out a new use by accident. Spreading the Life Essence over his skin actually allowed it to filter the oxygen around for his own use!


It was in small amount of course, it didn't allow him to breath underwater, but it still allowed him to stay longer underwater.

The tunnel was narrow, and there were rocks that protruded out like blades. To a normal person, hitting one by accident could potentially open a wound. Not for Dorian of course, with his insane Vitality, but it would still hurt if he didn't see them.

Dorian had to swim for two minutes before finally reaching the end of the tunnel. Before coming to this world, the max Dorian could do was a minute, and that was by pushing it. But now, he felt like he could hold on for ten minutes, at least.

He got out of the water and looked around. The light he emitted wasn't enough to illuminate the whole room, as it appeared quite big, but from what he could see the room looked old. As expected from a temple.

Dorian walked around aimlessly, looking out for any sign of entrance. He also paid attention on sensing the danger, and to be sure he even activated [God's Sight] for a second to make sure nothing else was in the room.

He continued until he saw a faint silhouette in the dark, he couldn't make out what it was but it wasn't moving. Approaching a little closer, he was able to discover what it was. A big bronze status, of what seemed to be a chimera.

It had a lion body, except for a scorpion tail. It was lacking compared to the legendary Chimera from the Greek myths, but it still looked fearsome.

Moreover, behind it was an entrance. Of course, Dorian entered it. Another tunnel appeared, but this time it wasn't natural but artificial.

Cracked walls beautifully decorated with ceramic surrounded Dorian. Thanks to his light, Dorian was able to see the different drawing on the walls. There seemed to be a story, but it was difficult to understand because he was reading it in the wrong way. Looks like he came from the exit.

Still, from what he could see, it was narrating the feats from different beasts. Among them, was the Chimera from earlier. But there were also other mythical animals, like dragons, phoenixes, and other more mundane ones.

At some point, he heard sound coming from ahead. It seemed people were fighting. Dorian stopped looking at the walls and started running in that direction. But he noticed that they were much farther than he thought because even after running for five minutes he still hadn't found them, although the sounds were intensifying.

The sound was probably able to echo so far because of the architecture. But there was a problem, the size of this temple didn't match. He walked longer within this temple than from on entrance to another in the outside.

He either had been making turns without realizing it, or the space in the temple was modified. Either way, magic was at work here, and that made this temple even more dangerous.

After a couple more minutes of running, Dorian finally saw some light, and the opening toward another room. He picked up the pace and reached there in no time.

Before him, was a magnificent hall. 16 Golden pillars stood erect, joining the ceiling and the ground. The walls were all painted red, with golden markings all over them. Meanwhile, against one of the walls, was a big throne, opposing the exit.

In the middle of the hall, three beings were fighting. Erendur, Gurek, and a black robed man. The black robed man was sending fireballs at the two, who were avoiding them as well as they could and retaliated in their own way.

Erendur was just like Gurek, they were both strong as Knight, but were even better as mages. They both seemed to wield the element of nature itself. As for the sorcerer, he was launching countless fire balls, most of which hit the walls and the pillars with astonishing explosions.

But the room was totally fine, there wasn't any damage to be seen. In case some forgot, a single one of those fireballs was enough to blow a two meters deep crater in the ground, and uproot trees that probably were hundreds of years old.

To compare with Earth's armament, it was like someone was repeatedly firing shells from WW2 and the room was withstanding it perfectly. It only served to show how strong the materials were, or how good the magic spells protecting them was.

The sorcerer wasn't able to sense Dorian's arrival, because the latter was approaching in sneak. Dorian arrived behind the sorcerer, and stabbed out with his daggers.

However, they were stopped by an invisible barrier. The sorcerer look at him as soon as he attacked, and Dorian was able to see disdain in his eyes behind the mask when it saw the daggers being stopped by the barrier.

However, that was immediately replaced with shock when a clear shattering sound was heard. This time, it was Dorian was sneered.

What kind of joke was this, a barrier? His daggers had the ability to ignore 50% of armor when striking together, so barriers were the things he feared the less.
