[A hidden mission, eliminate Asyaka's Cult's Leader, completed! Calculating for rewards...]
Auron had was surprised by this sudden notification. The first time he faced the cult's leader, there was not any quest notification. So, he thought that there was no quest related to the Asyaka's Cult.
Auron never thought that Asyaka's Cult was a hidden mission. He was excited to know what would he get. Based on his experience, usually, a hidden mission would give him something rare. Even the lowest reward was already something pricey.
[Contribution: A rank]
Auron got an A rank in the contribution. He thought that he could achieve this feat was thanks to the last battle. Moreover, he was the one who did the last hit on the cult's leader. He was waiting for his rewards notification anxiously.
[Reward: Dual Wield Skill Book]
Auron's heart raced fast when he saw his reward notification. He got a rare skill book, [Dual Wield]. This skill book was a dream skill for every melee class.
On his previous character, Auron only heard about this skill but he never got a chance to see the skill book. However, right now, he got the said skill book how could he not excited.
Auron quickly checked his inventory and saw the skill book icon inside his inventory. He didn't wait any longer and quickly use the skill book.
Although this skill book was great for a melee user, every class could use the skill.
[Dual Wield] (All Class skill)
Level: 1
MP: 0
Type: Passive
Target: -
Cooldown: -
Weapon: All weapons except bow type and two-handed type weapons.
Description: Allow the user to use a weapon on each hand. The user could use different skills for each weapon. Cannot be used with bow type and two-handed type weapons. Cannot be leveled up.
Auron quickly saw the skill's description. It was just like what he had read before. This skill could be used with every weapon except bow type and two-handed type weapons. Also, just like [Walking Chanting], this skill could not be leveled up.
And, one more thing to keep in mind that was not written in the skill's description. The weapon equipped was dependent on the user's class. A mage could not use a sword even if they had this skill.
However, this skill didn't as simple as allowing the user to wield two weapons. This skill could also help the user a lot. Although the attack of each weapon had been determined and could not be changed by this skill, however for high ranked weapons, there were weapons that increased the user attributes.
If the user used two such weapons, then they could gain a double attribute. These attributes could change the course of a battle.
Auron was very happy with his gain. He was so eager to test his newly acquired skill. However, he knew that it was not an appropriate time so he calmed himself down.
After Auron calmed himself, he looked around him. The soldier had already finished telling Alice everything.
Alice looked at Auron in awe and said, "Good job!"
Then, not long after, the husband and wife pair got back along with the soldiers that he had brought. On the husband's hand, there was the thief's head. This means that the thief had also died in the hand of the husband.
Among the three Asyaka's Cult's founders, the thief and the swordsman were killed while the cleric was captured.
Previously, when the cleric was left behind by the other two founders, he knew that he could not escape anymore. That was why he surrendered and was captured by the soldiers. Then, the soldiers met with Alice who brought the cleric to this place.
Auron could see the cleric among the group that Alice had brought here. When the cleric saw the heads of the other founders, he felt furious as well as relieved. He was furious about the fact that he was left behind while he was relieved that he was still alive.
In the end, everything had ended for the Asyaka's Cult and one tribe of the demonic monsters. It was time for reporting back to the military. Since the demonic monster was involved in this case, they also needed to report back to the royalty.
After all, they had to create a preventive measure so that the demonic monster could not collude with a dark organization once more.
Everyone who participated in this mission went back to the nearest town. Then, Auron, Alice, Julia, and the husband and wife pair took the teleportation portal to Miderian. Most of the soldiers here belonged to the northern region so not all of them followed Auron and the other back to the military headquarter.
As soon as they arrived at Miderian, all of them went back to the military base to report. This mission could be considered a success even though the casualties were not low.
Auron, Alice, Julia, and the husband and wife pair took turns to tell their stories up until how they could discover Asyaka's Cult colluding with the demonic monster. It took them almost 6 hours to tell the complete story to General Aston.
"Okay, you may leave and take a rest!" After 6 hours, General Aston let all of them take a rest.
Auron went back to his dorm's room. He wanted to try his newly acquired skill. However, before he could do that, he had to sort everything out first.
Auron went inside his room. Then, he quickly changed his character to his swordsman character.
Auron opened up his eyes to find out he was at a blacksmith. Previously, Auron had left his swordsman character to increase blacksmith proficiency.
In front of Auron, on top of the work desk, Auron could see the various finished products. Auron never had thought that one day he would get this skill. That was why he didn't prepare any second weapon.
Of course, Auron would not use his created weapon since his blacksmith's level was still low. It was time for Auron to look for the second sword. Time to go shopping.
