Lux, who was seated on top of his Mount, Jed, had a serious expression on his face as he looked at the spoils of war he obtained from defeating the Mutated Thunder Wolf King.

Lux was paying close attention to the Guardian Crystal that he had acquired as a Bonus Reward after defeating the Thunder Wolf King.
'If the information of the Guardian Crystal is true then this is certainly a good thing,' Lux thought. 'With this, Leaf Village will no longer have to worry about Monster Outbreaks ever again."
Lux had already decided to give the Guardian Crystal to Cedwyn, to increase the defense of the Village that had played an important role in his life in Elysium.
The Half-Elf's main reason for not leaving the Village when he could have was to help them fight against the next Monster Outbreak that would happen within a year. He could still remember the horror of the first Monster Outbreak he had experienced that had almost taken his life.
This was the final goal that he had set for himself, before he could leave without any regrets and continue his journey in Elysium. Acquiring the Guardian Crystal was a pleasant surprise because it would ensure the safety of Leaf Village for hundreds of years.
But, the one thing that surprised Lux the most was that after defeating the Thunder Wolf King, he received its mutated blood, which allowed any wolf type monster to gain its abilities.

< Thunder Wolf King's Mutated Blood >
– Allows Wolf Type Monsters to mutate and gain the powers of the Thunder Wolf King.
– Creatures bestowed with this blood will gain the ability to evolve.

'This Thunder Wolf King Mutated Blood will be useful to upgrade Jed's race and rank,' Lux mused as he looked at the vial of blood which he already decided to give Jed at a later time. In Elysium, the type and race of a monster played an important role in its strength.
Even if creatures had the same Rank, that didn't mean that their strengths were equal. The perfect example of this was Keoza, the Crystal Dragon, who now resided inside Lux's Golden Dragon Token.
If the Thunder Wolf King reached the Argonaut Rank, it would still lose to Keoza, hands down, if the two of them were to battle. This was the difference in race.
In Elysium, there were very few monsters that had the strength to contend with Dragons. Phoenixes, Qilins, and the other Mythical Races were also in this category.
Lower-ranked monsters like the Thunder Wolf King were simply not enough to threaten a pure-blooded Dragon of the same rank.
After Lux finished checking the rewards he had received from the emergency quest, he noticed another notification in his Soul Book, which gave him a very pleasant surprise.
'I didn't expect that I would be able to complete this mission in this manner,' Lux thought as he looked at the rewards from the Hidden Mythical Quest of Leaf Village that no one had ever cleared in the past.

Lux almost fell off Jed's back after seeing the information of the Title he received from clearing Leaf Village's Mythical Quest.
"Oh… My… God," Lux muttered after rereading the information of the Eternal Guardian Title for the second time just to make sure that his eyes weren't deceiving him.
'It's real,' Lux thought as he rubbed his face with both of his hands. 'What an OP ability.'
Aside from the bonuses that the Eternal Guardian Title bestowed, it also gave a groundbreaking ability that would bypass the established rules of Elysium.
What was that rule? It was the ability to return to a Beginner Village regardless of Rank. This was simply an ability that was unheard of. Although Elysians could go anywhere in their world, the same couldn't be said for Solaians.
Once they stepped into the Apostle Grade, they would be forced to leave the Beginner's Village after ten days, whether they liked it or not.
While Lux was still recovering from his shock, Thoram, the Commander of the Stronghold of Norria, arrived next to him.
"Lux, my boy, just what have you been eating as of late?" Thoram asked in a teasing tone. "I haven't seen you for a while and the next thing I know, you're fighting against a Thunder Wolf King by yourself. Tell me, Lad, what kind of mead have you been drinking? I want some of that as well."
Lux chuckled nervously, unable to come up with any answer to give to the Commander of Norria, who was looking at him as if he was planning on dissecting him to see what made him tick.
