Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Advancement Mission, Re-entering the Beast King’s Realm

George was immediately drawn to the massive black War Hammer. It radiated a strong dark power, filled with a destructive force.

“Is this the Artifact Gear you made?” He asked curiously.

Eliex nodded quickly, looking proud. “It took almost half a month. There were a few small mistakes along the way, but everything worked out in the end.”

“I’ll take a look,” George said, taking it and nearly losing his balance.

“Wow, so heavy!” He was a bit surprised. He gripped the handle tightly and finally managed to lift it.

Eliex explained, “Lord, this is for Constantine. It weighs 50,000 kilograms.”

50,000 kilograms?

George was speechless. Such weight could probably only be handled by Constantine.

He looked at the War Hammer’s stats with curiosity.

[Abyss Soul-Eating War Hammer: Artifact Gear; Strength +10,000, Stamina +5,000, Intellect +2,000, Dexterity +2,000;

Melee Specialization: Adds 5,000 Strength and 2,000 Stamina for melee classes;

Dispel: 10% chance to trigger Dispel on normal attacks;

Armor Piercing: The War Hammer breaks enemy gear and ignores 10% physical defense;

Dark Corruption: Attack adds Dark Corruption, reducing enemy defense by 1%, stacking up to 10 times;

Soul-Eating: When equipped, each kill gives +5 Strength and restores 5% HP. The bonus disappears after 10 minutes of battle;

Fury: After attacking the same target 10 times, the next attack is a guaranteed critical hit, adds soul damage, and increases critical damage by 100%]

Wow!

George looked at the stats and was stunned. It gave 10,000 Strength, not to mention the six cool effects.

If Constantine used it, his power would at least double.

Artifact Gear was seriously strong. No wonder it’s so rare.

“Lord, if you need any weapon, I can make one for you too. But it will need a lot of materials,” Eliex said. He had used almost all the materials just to make this War Hammer.

“A set?”

George looked at Eliex in disbelief. Before, he might have been excited.

But now, after learning Fundamental Power, he had a new understanding of Strength: external power was fake. Only true inner strength mattered.

George shook his head. “I don’t need one. But you can make one for Elise and the others.”

Eliex nodded, then said with a bit of embarrassment, “It’s fine, but the materials are almost gone. Especially the Crafted Relic – only twenty left. That’s only enough for two more Artifact Gears.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll give you a hundred Crafted Relics. As for the other materials, I’ll have them sent over,” George said without hesitation. He pulled out a hundred Crafted Relics and added, “You can also make one for yourself. If there are enough materials later, I’ll have one made for each of the others.”

The power of Artifact Gear was terrifying. If each of them had one, they might even be able to fight real gods.

But making an Artifact Gear required so much material – the Obsidian Academy probably couldn’t afford it for all of them.

George handed all the Black Stone shards on his body to Eliex. That stuff could also be used for forging.

Then he summoned Constantine again.

“Lord, you called me?”

Constantine was still a bit confused. When he saw George, he bowed and then his eyes were drawn to the huge black War Hammer. His eyes lit up with excitement.

George knew exactly what he was thinking. He smiled and handed him the War Hammer, saying, “This is your weapon.”

“Thank you, Lord!” Constantine took it with both hands. When he saw the stats, he swung it a few times. Wind howled, and a strong power wave came out. He immediately fell in love with it. The weapon fit him perfectly.

Eliex coughed uncomfortably and said, “Constantine, don’t forget our deal.”

“Got it, got it,” Constantine said absentmindedly. Then he looked at George and asked, “Lord, is there anything else?”

George knew that guy just wanted to test the power of the Artifact Gear. He sighed and said, “Go back to the Abyss Realm and hunt more SSS tier bosses for me.”

He thought about the Divine Crystals the Obsidian Academy made. They could greatly improve his monsters.

Making a Divine Crystal needed the body of an SSS tier boss. He didn’t dare send Constantine and the others before, but now that they had the Artifact Gear War Hammer, with their power, they could handle any boss that wasn’t too strong.

“Yes, Lord, I’ll go back now.”

Constantine was eager to leave. He said hi and went back to the Abyss Realm.

Lily didn’t go back to the villa. The academy had gone through a big disaster, and she was helping to rebuild it.

George made sure she was safe, then called Ares and asked for SSS tier materials. After that, he went to the Class Changer Association to get an Advanced Crystal and start the Frost Keeper advancement mission.

Anna didn’t charge anything. She just gave him an Advanced Crystal for free.

George didn’t refuse. He used his experience points to level up his Frost Keeper to 60, then crushed the Advanced Crystal.

You have accepted the Frost Keeper 60-level advancement mission: kill one stage SSR tier, 70-level Abyss boss.

Same as before, it was a boss ten levels higher than him.

But this time there was a stage requirement – SSR tier or higher.

That was nothing for George.

“Beast King’s Realm should have a 70-level boss, right?”

George whispered to himself. He decided to explore the Beast King’s Realm and finish this advancement mission at the same time.

He left the Class Changer Association and went to the academy. He said hi to Ares, then activated the teleportation array to the Beast King’s Realm.

“Hey, Mr. Ares, is there a 70-level boss in Beast King’s Realm that’s SSR tier or higher?” George asked, thinking about his advancement mission.

“Can’t you handle a 70-level boss?” Ares was confused. He had seen George’s power before. Even the mutated Anderson was easily beaten by him. So fighting a 70-level boss shouldn’t be hard.

“No, I need to finish the advancement mission.”

George explained briefly.

“You leveled up to 60 so fast? Wait, your 60-level advancement mission needs you to kill a 70-level SSR tier boss?” Ares was shocked. He said, “The Oathweaver class is really powerful.”

George was confused. His class was a Keeper, now a Frost Keeper. It didn’t seem to have anything to do with the Oathweaver.

James and the others said the same thing before. Even that black dragon in the Underworld Realm had said something like that.

Ares thought for a moment and continued, “If I’m not mistaken, there is a 70-level Dark Warlord in the realm. But it’s not SSR tier – it’s SSS tier.”

“SSS tier?” George didn’t care. Whether it was SSR or SSS, he could beat it easily.

Plus, the body of an SSS tier boss could be used to make a Divine Crystal.

The teleportation array to the Beast King’s Realm activated. George said a quick hello, then stepped into the array. A dizzying whirl of light surrounded him, and he landed again in the Beast King’s Realm.

It wasn’t his first time using a teleport, and he had gotten stronger, but he still felt a little sick.

George appeared on top of a teleportation array. The area around him was empty, with only the marks of the last battle left behind.

He knew the way by heart. He found the passage to the 60-level Dark Warlord area and walked straight in.

Through a deep tunnel, he found himself in a thick forest. Dark Warlords wandered around, and some of them were infected by Bloodmist and had mutated.

George didn’t waste time. He started fighting right away.

Diamond Scripture and Celestial Pole Scripture both activated. He didn’t bother to call Constantine and the others – it would just take too long.

He charged into the army of Dark Warlords and started killing them.

Roar!

The sound of angry cries and screams echoed through the forest. These Dark Warlords were weak.

[Killed Dark Warlord, gained 6,000 experience points]

More messages popped up. George slaughtered his way deeper into the forest, keeping an eye out for any signs of human activity.

He was here to find Kent.

George felt like the guy was still hiding somewhere in here. He had probably been infected by Blood Poison and changed. That’s why the Dark Warlords weren’t attacking him.

The forest was full of roars, and more Dark Warlords kept appearing.

George didn’t care. He just kept killing them, not even slowing down.

The Dark Warlords he faced got stronger as he went deeper. Their levels had gone up to 65.

He even ran into two S-tier mutated Dark Warlord bosses. But they still couldn’t beat him – just took a little more time.

In the realm, without the Earth’s Will suppressing him, George could use his Fundamental Power freely. He moved through the forest without any problem.

The number of Dark Warlords in the deep forest was getting smaller, but their strength was getting much higher. He was now facing 70-level Dark Warlords.

This meant the SSS-tier boss had to be close by.

George slowed down. He kept killing the Dark Warlords while scanning the area for the boss.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, a loud roar echoed through the forest. A tall, strong Dark Warlord appeared in the distance. He wore black armor and carried a black spear. His presence sent a killing aura through the air.

There it was!

George’s eyes lit up. This was the 70-level Dark Warlord boss with an SSS-tier stage.

“You lowly human! How dare you kill my kin! Die!” the Dark Warlord roared. His body blurred as he rushed toward George.

George stayed calm, standing still. He didn’t move, just raised his hand slightly.

Clang!

A sharp metallic sound rang out. George caught the tip of the spear with his bare hand.

The Sacred Dragon Gauntlet protected him, and his hand was completely fine.

The Dark Warlord frowned, surprised. He no longer looked down on George.

“You’re hurt?”

George was surprised. He saw a big, ugly wound on the Dark Warlord’s stomach.
