“Reach rank II!”

Kieran couldn’t help but curl his lips into a wide grin when he saw [Wilco’s Redemption] and [Seattle Right Hand].

He had known the two chilly items would change when they absorbed Arwena Algo Zelgar’s powers, but he never thought it would be this drastic.

Although both items overlapped each other in terms of effects, it didn’t disturb Kieran from gaining offensive and defensive abilities simultaneously.

On top of that, [Frost Buff]’s addition would be enough for him to surprise his enemies whenever they thought to suppress his Devil Flame with a frosty environment.

“Divine Frost Energy (False), is it because of the Fake V Rank?”

Kieran pondered upon the question as he took out the remaining crystal.

[Name: Frost Heart Remnant]

[Type: Gemstone]

[Rarity: III]

[Attribute: ???]

[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]

[Remark: You need some professionals to appraise it.]

Kieran softly rubbed the crystal. The faint freezing energy that seeped out was enough to make Kieran feel cold despite his special body.

However, Kieran didn’t mind at all. Quite the opposite. He showed an honest smile, as he knew this would be his biggest reward on this trip.

Since it wasn’t his first time encountering gemstones, Kieran knew how huge their value would be.

When he thought about the relativity mentioned by Blacksmith back then, Kieran automatically thought of [Wilco’s Redemption] and [Seattle Right Hand].

“Rank III? No, it might go up to rank IV!”

Once he thought about the potential rank IV item, Kieran’s squinted eyes shone in excitement.

No one knew better than Kieran himself how important a high tier item was in affecting one’s strength.

However, Kieran was distracted by the movements beside his feet

Frost Wolf sat beside him, its paws scratching his legs, its odd-colored eyes showing a thirst for the item.

“You want this?” Kieran pointed at [Frost Heart Remnant].

Frost Wolf nodded, but then shook its head a while later.

“Not now but later?”

Even without an obvious sign, Kieran easily knew what Frost Wolf wanted to convey.

“Wuu, Wuu.”

Frost Wolf nodded while making low whimpering sounds.

“Then you need to work hard for it! I want a strong, reliable helper. I will only give this to you if you truly display these two distinctive traits! Consider it as earning an investment.”

Kieran didn’t reject Frost Wolf.

To Kieran, whether it was increasing [Wilco’s Redemption] and [Seattle Right Hand] or Frost Wolf, both options were viable.

The only thing he was considering was the power of the current stages and their future potential.

The former was no doubt more suitable in terms of the current stage, but the latter?

Kieran thought highly of Frost Wolf’s potential.

If this were a peaceful time, choosing Frost Wolf would have been the indisputable choice.

But was the big city peaceful?

It may seem peaceful, but endless darkness brewed underneath.

Kieran knew it very well, so he also knew how important it was to convert everything into strength.

However, Kieran could neither truly ignore Frost Wolf.

So he threw the question to Frost Wolf instead.

Everything would depend on whether Frost Wolf could reach Kieran’s expectation or not.

If it could, [Frost Heart Remnant] would be its reward; if it couldn’t, Kieran would proceed with embedding it on the equipment.

Frost Wolf understood Kieran’s meaning instantly.

It stood up and ran out the door.

As for where?

Kieran didn’t ask. He knew he might be in for a surprise before he returned to the big city.
