Chapter 299 Brave

While Vincent managed to acquire the River Dragon's eyes, scales, and heart, Krusk obtained the damaged core and assimilated with it.

The previous weak Krusk who was living in the branches of the Tree of Faith is no more!

His strength had greatly increased and to be honest, he decided to set out with Vincent in order to find more clues about the Overseer that he needed to kill.

Currently, they weren't hurrying to find clues about the Overseer since they are still trying to strengthen themselves a bit more while waiting for Tara to recover her Celestial Energy.

'I must be overthinking… I'm sure he would be just fine.' Vincent thought as he took his breakfast with everyone.

When Severin saw Vincent, he was smiling from ear to ear as he requested to see the modified version of the potion.

As soon as he saw the red potion with glittering gold in it, he knows that the potion has indeed undergone an incredible modification in Vincent's hands.

He swiftly took out his appraisal tool and confirmed that the potion's effects didn't just increase by 100% but probably 500%!

"Incredible as always Sir Vincent. We should be able to contact Yasin to immediately return here and have it tested." Severin said.

"Oh? You have a communication crystal connected to the Avian Lion?"

"Yes… It was included when Alexander brought the aircraft to us." Yulia answered.

"I see… How about their entry to the city? The inspection was quite tight, don't you think that Krusk might get into trouble?" Vincent suddenly recalled.

The others jolted as well after hearing this. It seems that they have forgotten this concern.

"There shouldn't be any problem, right? You've given Krusk those magic tools that could hide his unique aura. As long as their tools did not detect the disease in him, they shouldn't pry too much about his identity." Yulia hopefully said.

"Well, you can vouch for his identity so that shouldn't be a problem..." Severin said putting his trust in Vincent's status as the seventh disciple of the Tower Lord.

Vincent nodded as he glanced at Millie and Ceri who were silently listening. They already heard about the Krusk from Calidia and were told that the young kid was quite special.

After hearing their conversation, they couldn't help but be curious and asked Vincent for clarity.

Vincent didn't mind answering as they would meet later on. It's better to just inform them now so they wouldn't be too surprised.

"Krusk is a young Mythical Beast I befriended when I was exploring a dungeon. He's capable of transforming into a humanoid form and he's capable of human speech… Right, I will be bringing you both to the Black Tower so get ready after this."

Vincent said as the two could only nod in silence.

They were still processing Vincent's revelation.

'Mythical Beast!'

It is said to be a creature above the Magic Beasts!

Unlike Magic Beasts which are considered to be an evolution of Savage Beast, Mythical Beasts were creatures who were born extremely powerful and considered rulers of the land before the humans gained the ability to practice mana.

At the very least, this is what they heard from their elders.

While they were in the Primal Sword Sect, they learned about the existence of Primal Apes, Metal Dragons, and Phoenixes… They were Mythical Beasts that were said to be the inspiration of the previous masters who established the Sect. No one knows whether this is true or just a legend made by their elders to make their sect mysterious but if what Vincent just said is true, then the founder of their sect may not be lying at all!

"Incredible. I can't wait to see the Mythical Beast… I hope they can return soon" Ceri said excitedly.

"They'll return in a couple of days… Severin will be contacting them anyway..." Vincent said with a smile after noticing their excitement. He's unsure whether they would be disappointed or really happy once they saw the young lizardman but in any case, their reaction might be amusing to watch.

After a while, their small group headed toward the First Tower. This time, they did not board the aircraft as Vincent decided to use their carriage.

He wanted the two to have a good look around the city since this is their first time coming here. They then found out that the city here wasn't that different from the cities in the Tudor Kingdom.

The only difference is perhaps the number of Mana Practitioners around and the occasional Airships passing above their carriage.

As for the tall tower that they could see from everywhere in the city, they just thought of it as equivalent to the palace of the ruler of this land.

"This place is quite lively… There are peddlers, alchemy shops, and weapon shops on almost every street. Hmm? Is it common to tame flying beasts here?" Ceri said after noticing several practitioners who have flying beasts around them.

Vincent thought for a moment. It wasn't like this before when he was still attending classes in the Tower's Academy every day.

"Ahhh… We did have a product capable of catching these flying beasts. We sold several thousands of them so there are quite a lot of tamers now." Vincent answered with a smile after recalling the product that had previously become their shop's best seller.

The two felt curious about it so they decided to visit the Beacon Magic Shop later.

After a while, their horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of the Tower and Caesus opened the door for the group.

"I'll wait here, Sir Vincent." Caesus said.

"Alright… We won't be long." Vincent replied confidently. Although he would be battling against Elena's brother right now, he wasn't worried at all. With his current set of Magic Tools, even if he faced a Celestial Being, he's confident that he would be able to survive.

After they entered the tower, Vincent arranged Millie and Ceri's identification as they received the plaque or the document they needed to prove their identity as Vincent's apprentice.

Now, they finally have an official identity. Aside from the convenience that this could bring them, it can be used as their protection as well.

As they were walking towards the arena to meet Karsten, Vincent suddenly noticed a group of barbarians who were brave enough to cause some trouble within the Tower!

It was quite weird considering how they are in the heart of the Black Tower's territory! Furthermore, there are only 20 of them!

Although there are ten Totemic Barbarians, five Barbarian Kings, and five other Barbarians who seemed to be Warlocks, this lineup doesn't mean anything, especially within the Tower!
