366 The Fabricator (2/2)

After all, even though the second objective only appeared to be about revealing the truth of the demons, it seemed like it required the complete handling of the demons, otherwise taking care of the moles wouldn't just be considered as a first step.

However, it seemed like I was a bit too quick to announce that I received nothing from this whole thing…

”Sigh… To think all of that happened under our eyes like this, I'm quite thankful for young Lan's help, please relay my thanks to your master as well when you do meet him…”

As the Supreme Sword who was the last to return sat back on his chair as he let out a big sigh and thanked me, the second stream of notification appeared before me!

[ You have managed to fool the top masters of the domain to completely believe you! ]

[ You have received the title 'The Fabricator'! ]

[ Achievement 'Lying with a straight face' recorded! ]

'This…'

Ignoring the achievement's awkward name, the acknowledgment of the system, and the fact that it awarded me a title now only meant one thing…

They had completely believed my bullshit background story!

That also asserted the fact that up until now, they had been obviously suspicious of my 'Master' story, but once they went through the meeting with an actual demon seed that they knew long ago, it seemed like they instinctively acknowledged it, thus resulting in me receiving this kind of reward.

[ 'The Fabricator'

Title Effect: - A story made up by you will be more believable to most ]

'Not exactly a great boon, but...'

The title felt somewhat useless for the current situation, but ultimately, it would have its own uses. While I really wasn't a fan of lying, in this game where every simple action can both end or save yourself, it was nice to have some sort of a boost to it, especially in times of war like this. It might have even made things smoother if I had this title a little bit earlier.

”It's nothing, if the demons really managed to swipe over the domain, then even I would be affected, not to mention the normal residents who have no relation with the world of the sects…”

It might be true that one of the reasons I was doing this was to finish my current 'main quest', but the main goal behind it was the eradication of demons. As the main threat to my life in the 'Lost Realm' whether I was planning on staying in the Nature Domain or going to another one, it was very important to uproot the demons for every place possible.

While most of the cannon fodder were mostly muscle-headed brutes, the main top commanders of the demons were likely similar to the first Overseer I met, cunning and insidious, leaving any little trace behind might rise into another major threat from behind. To advance forward, one had to secure his current land, it was basic knowledge when it came to warfare.

”Alright, since we were met with great success, albeit after witnessing the hard cold truth, we should take some time to plan our next move…”

With everyone in place once more, Blade officially started the meeting for the second time, the main act was soon to start...
