Chapter 44: Resource Distribution and the Silver Rift! II

Noah looked at Annalise while rising up, his shining eyes staring at the Silver equipment on the floor as he thought about all the other loot he had in his Inventory.

When he used the Random SILVER Equipment from his Inventory, he obtained equipment like [Silver Snake Armor], [Death Rapier], [Silver Bow]...and many others that nicely fit him and the two girls.

His voice rang out while he stared at Annalise.

"I used all the Silver Cores I found as loot to advance so I don't have anymore, but we can get our hands on them in the Silver Rift, and I can obtain even more when I delve into the rare Rifts I told you about."

"Then we can bring your Rank to Silver as we continue to strengthen ourselves before we make a move…"

His words turned dangerous at the end as the girls felt the air turn cold. But their hearts remained firm as they remembered the cruelty they had faced, as they remembered the shame of being forced to kneel!

Annalise's eyes shone dangerously as the girl spoke.

"To the SILVER Rift then…"

RUMBLE!

The party of three communicated as Noah talked with them about a great deal of things.

When he thought about how he would begin to fight back against the subjugators of the City, his newly gained Inherent Skill came to mind, especially the Ability that was unlocked on it currently.

His eyes looked at his Stat Panel as his eyes shook, seeing that the Inherent Skill had actually changed and added another ability since he first learned it!

An Inherent Skill grew with the user, and Noah had broken into the SILVER Rank after he obtained his Inherent Skill!

Under |Mind Dominator| were the abilities [Subjugate] and…[Mind Connection]!

[Subjugate] :: The user can dominate the mind of a weaker being or someone at the same Rank as them who is brought into a disordered state. A [Subjugated] being follows all the commands of the Mind Dominator, even if they are asked to die. The number of Subjugated beings depends on the mental capacity of the Mind Dominator.

[Mind Connection] :: The Mind Dominator can form a connection with his [Subjugated] beings, obtaining all of their thoughts and memories.

…!

A truly wondrous display of abilities from the newly gained Inherent Skill.

It made the plans he was forming even more solidified as against the ruthless Blessed that had attacked them and killed his parents...he planned to be just as cruel and ruthless!

"Let's go!"

He and the girls left the Elegant Pearl Inn as they moved on the subjugated Streets of City 8, seeing the shocking scenes of local Blessed being pushed around as they walked with their heads low, while the beings walking with the insignias of a bloody crown pierced by a golden sword walked with their heads held high.

Scenes like this and even more disgusting ones were happening throughout the Subjugated Cities.

Other areas had unruly Blessed that chose to bully the beings of subjugated Cities even more, an unknown number of Blessed being forced to do things they didn't wish to! 

It was the horrors of war that many chose not to think about, but they occurred!

Noah and the girls moved across the City with cold faces as they simply inscribed the scenes occurring throughout in their minds.

The vibrant Academy City that was filled with bustling Blessed moving about and always seemed full of life was currently bleak and covered with a depressive atmosphere as it truly transformed into a City that was just identified by a number!

The three arrived at their destination that was located at the center of the City, a vibrant large Silver Rift that was noticeable a mile away shining resplendently in front of them.

This one was surrounded by the auras of powerful beings, Noah knowing that clearing it would draw some attention towards them!

But he had to obtain a Silver Rift in Idle Mode as the rewards from it being cleared over and over again for the days to come...had to be obtained as early as possible.

The encampment of this Silver Rift that was known as the Molten Ruins shockingly had the aura of multiple Silver Blessed that had the insignia of the bloody crown and golden sword...and even the oppressive aura of the GOLD Blessed expert that Noah had seen floating in the skies!

The eyes of the two girls shook at this sight as Noah continued his steady steps.

"Oh?"

The attention of the Blessed from the Dark Continent that seemed to have been discussing something turned towards them, the GOLD rank expert looking at Noah's party curiously.

His golden eyes locked on the figure of Noah, Rose, and then Annalise as he gained a hint of interest!

He saw the distinct color of Silver that Noah and Rose had chosen to release, as well as the Bronze aura coming off of Annalise.

"Two Silver babies and a Bronze one wish to descend a Silver Rift?"

His voice was tinged with surprise as it caused the nearby Blessed to break out into laughter.

Noah looked at this powerful being that was the true reason that City 8 fell,  realizing he hadn't even remembered their faces when he floated above them and looked at them like bugs the day prior!

He wasn't able to locate the face of his parents' Killer that was inscribed in his mind at this location, putting other thoughts aside as he spoke.

"Are we allowed to enter? We understand the rule that half of all the loot will have to be left behind when the Rift is cleared."

Noah's voice was steady as the eyes of Silver Blessed looked mockingly towards them.

The powerful GOLD expert developed a deep smile as he nodded.

"75% for Silver Rifts actually. Hopefully, you do not perish in here as we need courageous beings like you!"

His words were like nails to their ears as Noah merely nodded, pulling Annalise and Rose into the Rift as they disappeared!

"Commander, won't it be beneficial to have people like them clear the Bronze Rifts? They might die in here or it might take them the entire day just to clear it."

A nearby Silver Blessed asked the GOLD expert with a small voice as this being was about to leave after coming to check the Silver Rift.

The fearsome expert shook his head while replying.

"Silver Loot will always be multiple times more important than Bronze. Even if it takes them two days to clear it, we need them to!"

RUMBLE

"Watch things here and record their clear time when they leave. We need to keep track of all the Silver Blessed within this city."

"Yes, Commander!"

The Silver Blessed called out cordially as they watched the shining golden figure take to the skies and head elsewhere. 

Their eyes shone while looking at the ability of flight that only powerful experts would get to experience in their lives, only looking away from the skies seconds later to continue carrying out their mission.

At this moment, they did not know that they had just let a terrifying enemy into the very same Silver Rift they were guarding!
