"You girls have finally arrived." Benimaru returned from his trance state and said to them. "We are behind schedule with our meeting with the Chief of Commerce."

"Sorry, but I had to try all the dresses you bought for us and see which one looked good." Ravenna said this with embarrassment while looking up, trying to hide her shyness.

"Ahh~ forget it." Benimaru let out a sigh before asking. "Did you guys bring your bag of clothes? We might be staying for a while."

Ravenna nodded her head at that, completely forgetting her embarrassment. "We told our servants to bring it down, they will come when we are already inside the carriage."

"Good, let's go." Benimaru led them towards the carriages, and along with them, Ragnar also came.

After one minute of walking, they arrived before four carriages lined up perfectly. The one in the front had a passenger box in the back, while the other three had tents covering them, but from the weapons and a few potion boxes, one could guess what they were for. The carriages were tied down to horses that Benimaru had bought from the city with his previous task's reward money.

Benimaru looked at the four Raums that would be going with them. Benimaru and the others would be going to the city as merchants; they couldn't be without protection, or it might bring suspicions. 

So he picked Raums, who had the most human-like structure, and covered them with full body armor. He had ordered Ragnar to cut their long nails or make them shorter by their own will. He also told Ragnar to teach them human behavior so as not to fumble when they interact with humans in the future.

Benimaru entered the carriage with the girls, and the Raums took the reins on each carriage. 

With the lash of the whip from the first carriage, they started their journey toward Migotanie City, finally leaving their place.

Inside the carriage, where Benimaru and others were.

Ravenna asked. "How long will it take to reach the city?"

Benimaru answered before giving a pensive look. "At this speed, probably one hour at best."

Ravenna nodded her head and then started chatting with Fiain about some stuff that only they could understand.

Benimaru didn't try to eavesdrop on their conversation but instead gave one last look at his progress.

'Looks like I have yet to find the class for myself.' Benimaru said to himself, forcing a smile on his face.

But he tossed those useless thoughts away and focused on other things.

Benimaru had made great progress in such a short time span. He might not have done those jumps in cultivation like his generals, but that was because the higher one's cultivation becomes, the more energy and time it takes them to make progress.

Benimaru had bought a new vitality technique for his body cultivation process. Just ignore its name, as Benimaru did too; the only thing that mattered was its value, which Benimaru saw. This technique could sharpen bones like a weapon and remove any kind of impurity from his body — making it a very optimal technique for the long term.

'I don't know what my true combat strength is, but it feels like I can take on those high-level Fleshcrafting Realm warriors or Novice Realm mages.' Only after making these assumptions did Benimaru decide to come to the city. Because he was sure that people in the third major realm were very scarce in such a remote place.

Benimaru rubbed his chin and thought, closing his eyes. 'By the time I have properly settled my business down, I might gain more strength.' 

'I should also build a human force secretly to gather information in cities. I don't have many human-like demons under me and that is hindering me doing anything inside human habitants.'

'Fortunately, from the books I read, it told me it was actually humans carrying heroes bloodlines who couldn't come in contact with demons. Demons could interact freely with other humans who don't have heroes bloodlines and have no issue. But…it also further confirms what the system said was true.'

Benimaru let out an inaudible sigh, feeling helpless and frustrated again by this curse set by the God of Destiny.

All of a sudden, notifications started popping up in front of him, almost giving Benimaru a scare.

[ Detected that the host has found his goal. ]

[ Searching missions suited till the end of host's goal. ]

Benimaru's heart started to pound the moment his eyes landed on the rewards. After breaking through to the second major realm, he unlocked some more items in the shop, but those required Rare Mana Crystals to buy them. 

One could say, Benimaru had hit a pay wall.

He had dispatched many scouts to search for such crystal mines, but unfortunately, no luck. 

Now that he had a way to get them, how could he hide his greed?

But Benimaru calmed himself and looked up, which made his face darken. 

'System, you won't let me lay low in this world?' Benimaru was saying those after seeing the conditions of this mission. 

Benimaru, who had a whole plan made up before coming here that involved him not revealing a single thing about himself or even his group, felt that the plan he worked so hard on might be ruined and even put a fire on it with gasoline added.
