462 Which One Gave You More Sense of Accomplishment? (1/2)
The Earth-type Divinity with a yellowish halo around it appeared on the palm of the Appraiser like a newly deshelled egg. The moment the item was positioned back onto the appraisal counter, all players inside the hall were awe-struck. Qin Ruo was exceptionally joyful as his heart was filled with indescribable satisfaction.
'It's real! A Divinity crystal!!! But why does it manifest in such a way?'
Qin Ruo was left dumbfounded by the discovery. The data reflected in his mind when he picked up the Divinity proved that it was an Earth type.
'Perhaps because this was dropped directly from the Cyclops Commander Galbis? Yeap! That must be it.'
Qin Ruo had obtained two Divinity Crystals prior to this: the first was directly taken from the treasure chest hidden inside Spectral Commander's cave while the second was rewarded after completing the Advancement Quest.
'Oh right, I almost forgot the other matter…'
In the wake of his train of thoughts, Qin Ruo suddenly remembered something very important!
The Cyclops Commander was a Tier 4 Ultimate Boss. Its difficulty was almost equivalent to a Tier 6 Megaboss. 'So logically, the cave it habituated should have stashed some valuable loot, possibly a treasure like Divinity or anything of equivalence!'
Thinking as such, Qin Ruo heart burned with desire. He eagerly packed the Earth-type Divinity into his Ring of Honor under the watch of the bunch of players inside the center and left the appraisal shop in a hurry.
Permanent Lock was initially leaning on the counter and had dozed off. He was astonished by the Divinity Crystal in Qin Ruo's hand and looked blankly at the delighted old Appraiser. As soon as Qin Ruo left the counter, he followed him without a second thought.
”Hey, where are you going?”
Greatly excited, Qin Ruo almost forgot he was actually with someone else. He took a glance at the equally excited Permanent Lock and asked him out of the blue, ”Are you interested to go visit Galbis' Lair with me one more time?”
”Ah? Why the second trip?” Permanent Lock was first bewildered, then his eyes lit up with realization. He spoke keenly, ”You are planning to loot Galbis deserted cave, am I right?”
”Are you interested?” Qin Ruo asked him the second time, more impatiently.
”Damn! Of course, I am!” Permanent Lock almost burst with excitement, but not long later he realized something and frowned in worry.
”Wait, just the two of us? Wouldn't it be too dangerous?”
Although the strongest inhabitant of Galbis' Lair had been eliminated, it was still stuffed with few thousands of Tier 5 and 6 Advanced Monsters, in addition to some Tier 5 Boss or Tier 6 Minibosses. These creatures are not to be taken lightly and they are certainly not very ”Bandit-friendly”.
”Well, of course, we won't be going alone.”
Qin Ruo had has a taste of the Cyclops Army's iron defenses formed inside Galbis' Lair. So, naturally, he knew how tough and dangerous it will be to set foot in that place with just the two of them. He explained to Permanent Lock patiently, ”We will go to Moonrise City and recruit some help first.”

At the moment, while most players on the Mythical Continent were still in a frenzy in regards to the Winter Demon's feat of slaying the Tier 4 Ultimate Boss Galbis, only those Tier 5 Champions from his own Clan were not aware first hand that their Clan's Honor Points had just skyrocketed by four extra digits. They were currently focused wholeheartedly on the Journey of Honor.
Ever since Fallen Angels was established and subsequently being widely recognized as the current No. 1 Clan in the Angel Faction, the members of the Clan, including the wing-equipped Black Rock and Apocalypse, Judge, Subjugator, and Snowleaf had been busy cruising through the Mythical Battlefield the entire time. Most of them no longer cared about the Honor Points or the Clan Honor Ranking.
Right until Fateless who scavenged alone at Mythical Battlefield lamented through the Clan channel, only the group realized that their Clan Leader, Qin Ruo's Honor Points were shockingly raised to 2000.
”Good heavens!”
”What did he do this time?” Even within the same Clan, their response was not very different from the majority of the players of H&G.
Since the Tier 5 clan members usually operated alone before this, they did not have that many information sources or immediate contact to get the latest news from. Thus, it was normal that none of them had heard of what happened.
This was when the sounds of the three pretty ladies who ran daily errands for the Clan barged in the Clan's channel. ”According to the news from the Demon Faction, someone saw our Clan Leader slay the Cyclops Commander Galbis…”
”Galbis? What's that?” Black Rock was as ignorant as always.
Stunned by the groundbreaking news delivered by the three pretty ladies, Subjugator, and few others turned to Black Rock with a disdainful expression. Subjugator then told him grimly, ”What's that? That is a Tier 4 Ultimate Boss you moron.”
”Er….”

”Well played, boy, well played. Accomplishing such a huge feat without a word beforehand.”
