Chapter 103 Goblin Paradise (1)



Cyrus, in his Violent Black Sword disguise, entered the Albert City Hall, which wasn't crowded but wasn't empty either.

The place was quite big. In the northern wing, there were a total of ten counters with beautiful female receptionists, while the southern wing was designed like a bar with tables and chairs around it.

Furthermore, all the people present in this place were clad in some sort of gear and carried weapons, so Cyrus's appearance wasn't so eye-catching.

On the contrary, he decided to dress this way because he came here before going after to hunt for identity. That's why he chose this kind of dress code as well to appear like a seasoned Dimension Diver.

Dimension Divers were not always hunting alone as they formed teams or parties with other dimension divers and split the total profit among themselves. This makes a dimension dive more effective and, most importantly, safe.

However, these dimension divers can sometimes be picky, especially if they have a ground of high-ranking and experienced Dimension Divers. Some even formed official teams registered with the Magic Union, which was like an official mercenary group. Many large corporations have their own dimension-diver teams.

These official teams were ranked differently than the official ranking system of the magic union. They were graded in seven ranks, lost F, E, D, C, B, A, and the highest, S.

Albert City was the same as there were also many E-Grade and F-Grade teams active in this city, and they were always scouts of high-ranking dimension divers.

So, when a new face like Violent Black Sword entered, this naturally drew some of the old team scouting group's attention because they were aware of all the noteworthy experts in Albert City since it was their job.

But they had never seen Cyrus before, and his appearance was quite… revealing.

Anyhow, they didn't approach him as they closely observed what he was up to and paid close attention to his moves.

Cyrus naturally noticed gazes on him despite them being well hidden, but he couldn't be bothered as he had already wasted half an hour to get this identity, and he needed to be done in one night, so he was in a hurry.

He approached one of the counters and placed the black crystal card on it as he coldly stated before the tall receptionist could even greet him.

"I want to dive in the Bronze Rank Dimension in the south of Albert City." His voice was not gentle but husky, and not even Hilda or Rita could tell it was Cyrus.

The receptionist was startled by Cyrus's bluntness, and then she was even more shocked by his request and looked at him closely. A hint of admiration flashed past her eyes when she saw Cyrus's perfect build.

"I need to check for your qualification; please wait a moment." She smiled before she picked up his black card and started to do something under her counter.

All Cyrus could feel was Qi undulations under it, and he was sure that she was scanning the card on some magic device as Milly did, so he wasn't too worried about it.

She was quickly done within a minute before she spoke with a beautiful smile, "Sir Violent Black Sword, you are qualified to enter a Bronze Rank Dimension. May I ask which Dimension Entry Pass (DEP) do you like to activate on your Dimension Diver License?"

"How much for Bronze level DEP?" Cyrus asked impassively.

"It would be 10,000 Union Credit." She replied without even thinking.

Cyrus wasn't surprised about this price as he had already heard from Hilda that the DEP charged for dimensions was absurd, but they could be earned back as easily if you were a professional Dimension Diver and knew where to look for profit.

That's why all the high-ranking Dimension Divers are quite opulent.

Cyrus's actual concern was that he didn't know whether the guy he killed had this much Union Credit or not since he couldn't see any data within a card without a special magic device. If he tried, he might destroy the magic card.

But thinking about how the guy was geared up and the bronze-grade sword on his back and all those supplies, he mused it won't be a problem, so he placed the white ID card on the counter and said, "Very well."

The receptionist didn't delay as she quickly picked up the card and started to do something under her counter again.

It took another minute before she placed both cards in front of Cyrus and said smilingly, "Your Bronze level DEP has been activated on your license successfully. You just need to show it to the dimension gate guard post, and they will take your sign on the Magic Union Dimension Diver Contract, and your pass will be activated instantly, and then you'll be good to go."

Cyrus grunted in acknowledgment before he picked up both cards and without wasting time, he turned around and headed toward the exit without any intention of overstaying his visit.

However, just as he exited the building, he was suddenly blocked by a burly man with an amiable smile.

Without waiting for Cyrus to question him, he spoke first, "Mr., I couldn't help myself but hear your conversation with the receptionist back in the lobby.

"You are going to a bronze rank dimension under the Albert City, and if I'm not wrong, you seem to be new here and don't know much about the bronze rank dimension you are about to enter, right?"

Cyrus dismissively replied with four cold words, "Get out of my way!"

The burly man was startled by Cyrus's unexpected response, but he didn't back away as he was used to dealing with all kinds of people and meeting with feisty ones like Cyrus was not new either.

"Mr., please let me finish. The Bronze Rank Dimension under the Albert City is named Goblin Paradise, and it has a tropical jungle-type environment that is teeming with shrewd and vicious goblins who are like hunters in there, not to mention there are other magic beasts present in that dimension with goblins.

"So, going there alone is very dangerous. How about I introduce you to an E-rank team that has five rare rank dimension divers, and they happened to be planning on heading there within an hour." He didn't beat around the bush as he finally revealed his purpose, which Cyrus already had guessed.

'So those filthy things can also appear in dimensions?' Cyrus was quite intrigued when he heard 'goblins' as he knew about the goblin race, and they were hated by almost everyone who knew their filthy ways.

Before, he didn't think much about what kind of place he was going. He wasn't worried about a bronze rank dimension, and he wasn't going there with purpose like others.

However, now hearing this vague introduction of this bronze rank dimension, he felt intrigued, especially when goblins were mentioned.

Although he abhorred that race, this didn't mean they were useless. On the contrary, goblins were extremely shrewd, and they were terrific resource collectors and even more terrifying at hiding them.

ραпdαn૦νel So, now Cyrus knew that he was going into a place teeming with goblins, he instantly thought about their hidden reserves, which they would do anything to protect, and these people might not even know about those guys' true nature as well.

Because if they knew, he was pretty sure the Magic Union won't allow anyone to enter a place with goblins since they were like gold mines and worth hoarding for oneself.

Some ancient powers even liked to enslave the goblin race and even nurtured them to make them collect resources for them.

'I might get more out of all this than I was planning before…' Cyrus thought with a strange glow in his eyes.

He then looked at the burly man who was waiting for Cyrus's reply with a confident smile as he was sure that after hearing about the true horrors of the Goblin Paradise, he would agree to join his affiliated team.

'Once I bring him in, I'll be able to get 3% from his share as the captain promised, and he looked quite strong as well…' He was gloating at this fortune when he suddenly felt strange pain starting to rise from his chest.

"Whhh…" He hissed in pain as he suddenly clenched his chest with wide-opened eyes filled with pain and bewilderment since it was too strange.

He didn't even have time to pay attention to Cyrus anymore and didn't see him walk past him when he clenched his chest.

The burly man fell on his knees as his breathing became crude and fast.

Some people inside the building finally noticed the man flapping on the group while twisting his body in strange angles while groaning and gasping for breath.

Some people even recognized the man as he wasn't a nobody and quickly approached him.

Cyrus, who was now a few meters away from the burly man, suddenly curled his lips and snapped his shining fingers hidden under his long sleeve.

'Heart Assassin Yin Wind… boom…'
