"No. What am I thinking?" Liam shook his head. For an item to have a spirit bound to it, it had to be legendary grade.
What were legendary items? They were extremely rare priceless artifacts that could single-handedly change someone's fate.
Even in his previous life, the only legendary items ever obtained from the game could be counted in a single hand.
One was Anya's emerald crown, and there were two other rumored ones obtained by players in other kingdoms. So how could this person in front of him possess a legendary item?
This was impossible. He must have mistaken things.
Otherwise, this would be a huge deviation from his past life, a very troublesome one at that, considering that the person with the legendary item was, for some reason, against them.
Liam silently mulled over this thought. His main problem was not that this player was powerful.
His issue was rather trying to understand why this unknown player was targeting them. Did I offend someone else recently?
Snapping him out of his thoughts, the next announcement rolled in.
[Ding. The last round will be conducted after 48 hours]
"Eh? This is strange." Mia remarked. "Why is there suddenly a break for 48 hours? Wouldn't it be better to get this over with?"
The last round only consisted of 10 players. Considering the way the event had proceeded so far, it shouldn't take long for this part to get over as well. So everyone had the same question in their mind.
However, no one bothered to question this or ask the NPCs on the tournament floor. The announcement was very clear, so the players started silently leaving the arena one after the other.
"This is good. I have some urgent work that I need to do." Liam also started to leave.
For him, this break couldn't have come at a better time. He needed to use the token to visit the milky way auction town again.
He was prepared to miss it because of this special tournament, and now it looked like he did not have to do that. He could attend both. How convenient!
"Did the tower master also plan to attend this auction?" Liam suddenly had a fleeting thought. He was very curious about this mysterious tower master.
In his last life, he didn't climb the PVP tower at all but maybe in this life, he would have the chance to meet this amazing, generous person.
"Well, whatever. I should first go to the auction house." He prepared to leave the place when suddenly he noticed that Rey had sent him a message.
He opened the message and saw it, only to be utterly shocked the next instant.
"Derek, Mia. Both of you come with me." The others had already left for the guild residence to hang out there, so Liam could only get hold of these two.
"I hope we are not late." He informed Mia as well, and the three of them dashed into the forests outside of Yleka city.
Several miles to the north of the city… currently, someone else was also running very fast. Rey ordered the dire wolf he had tamed to take care of the ape blocking his path.
While the wolf gnawed on the ape, both the beasts struggling in a death match, he stealthily stood back and shot some arrows ahead.
The ape became severely injured and was close to dying, but at this point, it made a loud noise and called over reinforcements.
"Damn it," Rey shouted and tried not to panic.
Since Liam had advised him to focus on both long-range and short-range attacks, he put away the bow and clutched his spear, dashing towards the two new apes that had appeared.
He swung the spear around and thrusted it wildly, somehow dealing with the two beasts. The dire wolf also continued attacking in a frenzy. Together, they quickly took care of the three apes.
"Nice! That gave good experience points, but we should be careful now. Black Thunder, you should try and sniff out if there are any beasts nearby. We are heading into higher-level territories, so it's best to avoid trouble for now."
The wolf Black Thunder hurriedly shook his head. The duo then got to work as they sniffed their way through a safe path. After a while, the duo came to a halt.
"This is the spot they mentioned." Rey scratched his head. When Madan messaged him, he had told him that there would be an egg here, but there was nothing in the vicinity.
"Maybe someone else took it? I should wait for it to spawn again?" Rey was confused. After waiting a while, he ended up messaging the person again.
At the other end, Madan was grinning ear to ear. "Oh, you are there! Bro, you should have told me before! I will come over." He immediately turned to look at the disappointed, long faces standing next to him.
"He He. Guys, I have some good news for you."
"Hmm? What the hell are you talking about? Just shut up." Anya scoffed.
"Sister, I know you are angry about that loss, but please don't show it to me. I am innocent." Madan made a pitiful face.
Anya was about to say something when Kouske interrupted the duo. "What did you want to tell?"
"Right, so I have the precious brother waiting for me." Madan did his version of the evil laugh.
"Hmmm? Their brother?" Kouske frowned. "Why are you doing this? We don't have time to waste like this. You know what our orders are."
"Awww~ Don't be such a buzz kill, Kouske. Come on. All we do is follow orders. Didn't we just get fucked up by that damned fox? How about some sweet revenge?"
"Ya. I want to see that bitch suffer too." Anya crushed the bread in her hand.
Since she could eat anything inside the game without gaining weight, it was her past time to eat bread which was something she couldn't do outside.
Kouske sighed seeing the determined faces of these two. "At least let's check with brother first."
"Eh! What is this? Don't I have my freedom anymore? Even for peeing, I need to check with this guy? This is annoying." Anya scoffed.
"Kouske bro, come on. Please. This is just a small detour. Why must you be so strict? We are just blowing off some steam…"
Unable to reason with the two anymore, Kouske shook his head helplessly. He gave up and rubbed his face, "Do whatever you want, but you do know that this is risky, right. What is Liam shows up?"
"That's why we need you, bro. The best-case scenario is still if Liam shows up. Don't you want to give the death knight some much-deserved blood?"
"Fine, I will go with you guys."
"Yay! Thank you, bro!"
"Let's fuck up those bitches this time."
