Chapter 372: The Demon’s Authority!
Mirabella stared at the three, letting the heavy silence linger for a moment as the reality of the Second Level hung over them, and exhaled: "Lord Hayatobi will explain everything to you in the academy." She repeated, her voice leaving absolutely no room for further debate, and snapped her fingers, as the glowing map vanished into thin air.
She opened her palm again, tapping into her inventory. A blinding, divine light flooded the observation deck, and a full set of God rank set appeared before her, including a huge, archaic sword and a massive, impenetrable tower shield:
"This is my reward from the competition... Today, I am giving it to..."
Everyone looked at one another in palpable tension, the sheer pressure of the artifacts making the air heavy, and automatically turned to Carl, expecting him to receive the spoils.
"Kent."
".....?!!"
They all violently turned their heads to the muscular guy among them, stunned speechless by the massive deviation in expectations.
"Really?!" Kent asked in sheer shock, staring at the glowing artifacts that radiated an aura of absolute defense. God-rank items were national treasures, items that could elevate a commoner to the status of a one-man army.
"Yes." Mirabella nodded her head, her eyes reflecting the shimmering metal:
"You are a knight, and in the future, you will be one of our strongest vanguard. A powerful armor is good." She said.
"Thank you, Mirabella!! No!" He stood up sharply, his posture shifting from a bewildered student to a loyal sworn shield; "From now on, you’re Guild Leader Mirabella!!" He yelled, stepping forward and passionately hugging the heavy, rune-carved armor plate.
"Alright." Mirabella gently nodded her head, acknowledging his loyalty, as Kent reverently stored the priceless artifacts into his spatial storage.
