After staying for a total of six hours and eighteen minutes, they were kicked out of the labyrinth and appeared back in their bedroom.

They first went to take a shower and changed their clothes before leaving their abode and going to the library to buy tier-4 spells. They bought spells they could combine with their existing tier-4 spells and make them into peak tier-5 magic spells.

Two hours later, they returned from the library.

Zevien bought a pure offense-type tier-4 magic spell called <Ignition Burst>, which he felt he could combine with his tier-4 spell, <Ruination Mist Cannon>, to bring out even greater power, which will be a raw destructive power.

Vernisia bought a counter-type spell called <Offset Waves> that she could pair up with <Roving Aegis Guard>. So that whenever the shields of her tier-4 defensive spells were attacked, they could counter with offensive shock waves that would disrupt the enemy’s mana circulation and also disarray incoming projectile magic spell’s direction.

Of course, they had only imagined how it would look if their spells combine, but to combine their spell formations into a proper working one that could produce the effect was another thing. It would take them months to combine their spells together.

…

A week later, Zevien bought a mansion in Heaven’s Symphony town. This town is said to be the most luxurious town in the entire Gaia continent. It was also a town where most of 1st class magicians resided.

All the clan members were shocked that Alucard bought a mansion in this town and got excited.

From then on, that mansion became their base of operation, and everyone gathered there before moving out in groups to complete missions.

Zevien and Vernisia also went to that mansion the next day and met with the clan members.

Six days later, when they were just one day away from entering Vernisia’s 2nd labyrinth, Zevien finally arranged a clan meeting.

Of course, he attended as Alucard while Zevien and Vernisia were absent, which did not even surprise the clan members since they were used to the absence of those two.

In the meeting, Alucard gave the position of Vice-clan leader to Lax and gave the officer position to three people: Carmaine, Medro, and Jonathan. He didn’t give any position to academy students, and they were fine with it since they were busy at the academy.

During the meeting, Alucard also upgraded the clan to C-rank since everyone had gathered 10,000 contribution points in the last fifteen days, which was the required amount to rank up the clan.

Everyone had a little party in the mansion that day.

…

The next day, Zevien and Vernisia entered Vernisia’s second labyrinth, Primal Elemental Utopia. They completed a quest and also completed a chain, which rewarded Vernisia with a relic called Gray Staff. However, this relic she got also requires her to have 10,000 magic power to activate it, just like the relic that Zevien got fifteen days ago from the Inviolable Blood Garden magic labyrinth.

They still have 2 hour’s worth of time, so they went to a new area; the Heavenly Flame Mountain ranges.

The entire mountain range was… burning! Everything had fire elements. Trees were redwood, and their leaves were also dark orange, with fire sparks spreading around them. Same goes for the smaller plants and bushes.

The rocks and mountains were also made of fire stones and had lava veins, despite those mountains not being volcanic mountains.

It was rather uncomfortable to stay in this region, but they found two towns on top of the mountain ranges. Those mountains were cold because of some enchantment with gemstones created from ice and water crystals.

The main attraction of this region was craftsmanship and cooking. They saw many workshops on the mountain range where people were crafting magic items and chefs were cooking dishes. The magic beasts in this area were abundant, all of them fire-attribute related.

While they were roaming the deeper parts of the mountain ranges, they came across a dungeon door and entered inside.

The dungeon was a vast ground separated into three sections. They have to destroy three giant red crystals protected by magic beasts within a certain time frame.

It was rather easy for Vernisia because of her AOE magic spells of Primal Elemental Utopia.

To get the golden treasure chest, they had to clear the dungeon within 8 minutes, but they cleared it under 6 minutes.

“It’s time for Rock, Paper, Scissors,” Vernisia grinned.

“You’ve won the last two times, but I will definitely win this time,” Zevien said with a confident smirk.

“Quite confident, aren’t you?” Vernisia smiled as she stretched her hand and started. “Let’s see then.”

*Rock, Paper, Scissor!*

Zevien carefully observed Vernisia’s hand and her muscle movement at the last bout before he pulled out scissors and, as he guessed, Vernisia pulled our paper.

“You won…” Vernisia wryly smiled. “Alright, open it.”

Zevien turned to the golden treasure chest and opened it. A golden glow smothered the room and shone brightly before it subsided a second later.

The treasure chest contained only one item! However, that one item was quite useful as they had gotten it before.

“A trial crystal would’ve been great, but this is also good,” Vernisia said before she lightly whistled and shook her head wryly. “Though if I opened it, I would have gotten a trial crystal for sure.”

“Yeah, sure,” Zevien rolled his eyes before he picked up the chalice. When he actually got its information in his head, he was surprised. “This chalice is different from the one we got before.”

Vernisia looked at the chalice and compared it to the previous one before noticing the difference. “The design pattern carved on this chalice is different compared to the one we got before, but it also has three runes inside. So, what is it about?”

“Touch it, and you will know,” Zevien said as he gave the chalice to Vernisia.

“Wow…,” Vernisia was surprised after looking at the effect of this chalice. “The previous chalice we got was of Bronze-rank, but this one…

This is a Profound-rank! We don’t know even know how many levels higher than bronze rank.”
