Chapter 183 Resolve To Grow Stronger

Chapter 183 Resolve To Grow Stronger

According to Adonis, he didn't feel comfortable with the current allocation of rewards, considering the circumstances surrounding the entire incident.

"Billy and Alicia were missing, and Rey went out to search for them. If it wasn't for his decision to seek the aid of Sir Ralyks, we would never have found them and even gotten rescued from the Dragon."

In essence, everyone had their own circumstances.

"I would have liked to give Rey my own share if it was possible, but... unfortunately I require resources for a particular endeavor of mine." Adonis slowly turned to Rey and bowed his head slightly.

"I hope you can forgive my selfishness, Rey."

The instant he did this, Rey swiftly raised both hands and waved them in an awkward attempt to dismiss the entire thing.

"S-stop it! There's no issue at all! I wasn't thinking of taking your reward, even if you offered. Haha... haa...!"

The awkwardness in the air lasted for a few more seconds as Rey and Adonis stared at each other, before both of them looked away with somewhat complicated smiles on their faces.

Rey had a flushed shade of pink on his face, as he was absolutely mortified by Adonis' suggestion.

As for Adonis, he had a relieved, but somewhat sad expression on his face.

"Thank you, Rey."

"S-sure..."

Once more, awkward silence took charge.

"Mhm... ahem...!"

Thankfully, it didn't last for too long. As soon as Grandmaster Conrsd cleared his throat, all attention returned to him. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"I understand your suggestion, Hero. If that is fine by everyone, we will split the rewards like that."

As attention was cast on the remaining five, they had a choice to make.

Accept or refuse.

"Of course, I have no problems with that!"

"It's cool."

"No big deal. It's not like we need that much money anyway."

"As long as I get my cut, I'm fine."

"I don't agree. Pfft! I'm just messing with you! Look at your faces. Of course, I totally support it!"

Belle, Trisha, Clark, Eric, and Justin respectively had what they had to say.

'The problem is that there's only so many Items you can stack at the same time.'

There was something known as 'Equip Limit'.

It wasn't a quantifiable thing, and everyone had their limits depending on Levels and other unknown factors—maybe talent of physiology.

However, this 'Equip Limit' made it impossible for a person to stack up more than a certain number of Items.

'My current limit is 30 Items.'

It was a reasonably high number, considering the fact that most people couldn't equip more than five.

Twelve was the current best record, and yet he had managed to exceed twice that amount.

Still, it felt a bit frustrating that he had the means to obtain more items, but even if he equipped them, their effects wouldn't stack after he successfully equipped thirty,

'I don't know when or how the limit will increase, so the best thing I can do is replace the weaker Items with stronger ones.'

Thus, he was looking forward to the Item he would get from the Dragon's corpse.

If it was something grand, he would use it in the stead of a less impressive tool.

'Besides, I'm pretty excited to see everyone else get stronger.'

He wasn't sure he could single-handedly topple down a Dragon Empire by himself.

'I need Adonis and everyone to get stronger. Of course, I won't get complacent too.'

During the incoming raid, he couldn't afford to be left behind and outdone by Adonis... or any other classmate for that matter.

'We should all grow strong. And I should grow stronger.'

They had to be ready for the war to come.

All of them.
