Chapter 267: Three Legendary Scrolls



The night's lonely colors fell over the fog-shrouded city of Sevenfold.

Through the streets, hanging like a heavy blanket, suffocating the faint glow of the streetlights.

New decorations were hanging from the lampposts, and the city was ready for tomorrow's festivities.

However, the atmosphere among the citizens was heavy and bleak, as if the festival was nothing to celebrate about.

At the brown building's top floor's balcony, Adam leaned against the door while watching as the city went to sleep.

The occasional people that still moved in the fog were workers, returning from long hours of overtime.

They had no choice as they had to somehow support their families as everyone's pay had been cut short, thanks to their new ruler.

"Nice decorations, right?" Otis knocked on his door and walked to the balcony.

"I guess," Adam said.

"Well, because of the cost of those decorations, everyone's pay was cut." Otis said. "Or at least that's what most people think, but we also think that our new ruler is pocketing the money for himself."

"What a charming fellow," Adam said. 'If that person became king of the New World, he would be overthrown day one.'

It made him chuckle, thinking about what would happen if that person became the king of the New World.

Unlike here, New World was full of strong powerhouses, and it didn't matter if that person was also strongest there. He couldn't possibly stop the full might of thousands of

mercenaries.

That's why tyrants would never thrive in the New World.

King Moriarty was smart in that aspect.

He was able to keep the mercenaries happy.

"I have something to give you," Otis suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Adam raised an eyebrow but followed after him out of curiosity.

They headed out of the room, stepped down all the way to the basement level, where Otis picked up a dimly lit lantern, and opened a heavy, rusty door there.

After it was open, they entered the dimly lit room, and Otis placed the lantern on a small table in the corner. It illuminated the place well enough.

The room was dusty and covered in cobwebs, but there was a strange treasure chest sitting in the center of the room.

Otis kneeled in front of it and said. "My family's ancestors were part of the first group that came to Sevenfold and made it their home.

"It was just a small camp back then, barely five tents, all of them ragged and filled with holes, but slowly, through the decades, it became a village, then a mighty city.

"When my ancestors came from the New World, they brought with them three family treasures."

Otis opened the chest.

Inside, there were three scrolls that seemed to glow with a dim golden light.

Adam's eyes widened in shock, and his breath stopped momentarily.

"Apparently, these scrolls can give a person power beyond their wildest dreams. However, my ancestors, my grandfather, my father, and even my children, all tried to learn these scrolls but to no avail.

He never thought he was going to find it ever again.

Back in his previous life, he found it on a battlefield after salvaging through the remnants of powerful mercenaries that died in the bloody battle.

It was a stroke of luck!

However, the Strong Force was only epic-ranked when he found it, but now it was Legendary-

ranked.

It was possible for the same skill to exist and for the same people to have the same skills, but there was not going to be a second legendary-ranked skill of the same type.

While there might be epic-ranked Strong Force spells, this was the only legendary one in the

entire game!

'Since this is legendary-ranked, it will be even mightier version. This is crazy, and I would

love to learn it right away, but my level of Magick is not enough!

'I need to reach level 4 first before attempting to learn.'

"I hope the spells satisfied you." Otis said with a smile, but seeing the look on Adam's face, it

was clear that he was extremely pleased.

"Yeah, I am very pleased." Adam stored the spells inside his inventory.

"That's good." Otis said. "What're your plans now?"

"I'll need to prepare for tomorrow," Adam said.

"Prepare, how?" Otis asked out of curiosity.

Adam clad his hand in black Kraft and said, "I feel like I am ready to advance my Kraft, and I

also need to craft some poison bombs. It's better to be ready for everything."

"You should rest as well," Otis said.

"Yeah, I know," Adam said.

'I am already at the level that when I fight someone of equal level or stronger, the fights

might last hours if not days. I hope the ruler is weaker than I expect, but my luck is not that

good.'

After leaving the basement, Adam returned back to his room and sat cross-legged on the bed. With his eyes open, he stared straight at the bookshelf in the corner.

To advance through Kraft levels, he needed to imagine some kind of forcefield around

objects, and to advance to the third level of Kraft, he needed to imagine big.

Thus, the bookshelf was a good target to try.

The bookshelf slightly started to turn black, but only some of the books.

Adam gritted his teeth, and his nose started to slightly bleed, but eventually, a little bit of the

bookshelf started to turn purple!
