Chapter 248: Treasure Palace



'It seems both have a strong animosity,' Aleron thought as he looked at the duo throwing daggers at each other with their eyes.

"Since that's the case, then let's start," Lilisa calmed down and smiled. "As per rules, we can challenge anyone, including the current number 1 strongest Unbound-rank we have, who is your candidate."

"Bring him out."

"Cool down, why are you in such a hurry?" Sid coldly smiled. "There are still many days left, and it's me who will decide when there will be a fight, Mrs. Branch Manager."

'It looks like this Sid holds a higher position than Lilisa in the Alliance,' Rias thought with a chuckle. 'Well, husband will surely disappoint him.'

'Delaying his suffering,' Ruan snickered.

"So when is it going to be held?" Lilisa asked, her eyes narrowed and irritated.

"That'll be after seventeen days," Sid smiled. 'I'll make sure your participant won't get a chance to participate at all.'

Lilisa was dumbfounded, her eyes twitching, "What did you say? Seven?"

Sid's plan was simple. He had the authority to decide when the match would be held, and if he held it just one day before the entry and Lilisa's candidate lost, it would be over. It would be the last match before the entry because fighting for spots wasn't allowed for 24 hours before the entry of participants.

"Seventeen. The battle will be held one day before the 100 participants enter the dungeon."

Lilisa's lips twitched, and a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes, but she decided to play the game, "I suppose me complaining to higher-ups won't change this date, right?"

"Correct," Sid sneered.

"Humph, then we'll see," Lilisa adopted a stern and dark expression as she snorted.

Aleron and the girls looked at each other, feeling like they were laughing.

"Come on, we'll go a better place than this in the meantime," Lilisa moved the ship as they left the area and went further up in the mountain.

Soon, they arrived at a big and beautiful courtyard with three different types of aesthetic traditional wooden buildings, a mixture of the pavilion and the eastern castle.

The courtyard also had a big pond with a small open pavilion in the middle, apparently a dining table to eat.

On the other side was a clean green training ground with trees to sit and meditate as well. "This is a personal courtyard of mine, but you all can live here. It's big enough."

"That it is," Aleron was impressed. "Thanks. Anyway, since we are finally here, what's the next plan?"

"I would have wanted you to enjoy after finishing the match, but I don't want you displaying your power until the match," Lilisa said with a wry smile. "So, we'll get a stroll in the treasured palace, get you Innate Gears in all slots, and then you will just train or do whatever you want as long as you don't display your capabilities."

"Great. Then I've already thought of how I would spend the next seventeen days," Aleron lightly laughed as he looked around. "This is a good place to meditate and train. Hopefully, I can break through to level 3 of my Concept as well."

He had been trying to do that along with everything else.

"Good. Look around and pick your rooms...wait, you'd want one big room or?" Lilisa blinked as she looked at Aleron and swept her gaze at the ladies.

"We'll need one big room and multiple rooms both," Aleron smiled.

"Alright, choose your rooms, mine is already fixed. It's on the smallest building's top floor. The entire top floor is mine."

"Gotcha."

Soon, everyone picked up their rooms, and Aleron also marked them, sort of like having Cosmic Eyes there so that he would be able to teleport there instantly.

After around ten minutes, the group left on a smaller vehicle-a flying carriage, but it was still big enough for them to sit comfortably.

They just went to another place on the mountain via the carriage and arrived at the treasure hall.

Aleron and Lilisa went inside while the girls had to stay outside as they weren't allowed to enter.

The Treasure Hall's Innate Gear section was a mysterious pocket dimension with many Innate Gears floating around while displaying their characteristic effects.

Her eyes glinted as she looked at Aleron, "But you....your potential is way higher."

"Thanks," Aleron faintly smiled.

[Silencing Crimson's Raven Ravager]

This was a black-red designed and patterned Innate Gear set with a furry carved pattern and

metal feathers but no actual fur.

A metallic-looking leather-metal mix of armor, boots, gloves, a mask, a pair of wings, and a

heart.

[Blue Destruction's Whirling Madness]

[Luminous Tempest's Shifting Cyclone]

[Obsidian Titan's Fortress Lord]

The other three were also good, but he liked the Silencing Crimson's Raven Ravager set more.

"Alright, I'll choose this," Aleron pointed at the Raven Ravager set, causing a loud humming

to echo from other Innate Gears that felt sad.

But they still scattered away while humming as if weeping. Meanwhile, Raven Ravenger's set vibrated as if oozing out joy.

"Well, it's fine, you got it, but hide it well. Don't reveal it before the match," Lilisa said, her smile weary yet excited. "I'll inform higher-ups about this."

"I feel like there's going to be trouble," Aleron blinked as he captured that from her eyes.

"Well, Sovereign Innate Gears are not to be given to just anyone...this Treasure Palace is connected to all Treasure Palaces across the branches, so you can say we literally only have four sets of Sovereign Innate Gears, not count the ones that are already owned by others."

"Anyway, the point is that you'll have to join the Proper Path Alliance properly. Otherwise, they wouldn't be happy to part with this."

"But am I not already a part of this force?" Aleron raised his eyebrows.

"You are, but not at the level where you are allowed to take such a precious thing," Lilisa

wryly said. "I'll convince them that you'll become a core part of the Alliance, and you will also

show a great result in the Dungeon, so get ready."

"Once this is over, you are going to have to take a soul binding to become a part of the

alliance."

"I'm fine with that," Aleron smiled.

'Soul Binding? The fuck's that? Gachapi, that won't interfere with our plan, right?'

Gachapi snickered.

[Gachapi: If we didn't have the backing of Eternals, it would have interfered, but not

anymore, hehe. Soul Binding can screw itself.]

'Nice. Now, let's see how powerful this is. It automatically adjusted to Unbound-rank from

Broken-rank, heh.'

[Silencing Crimson's Raven Ravager]

Rank: Unbound.
