Chapter 761 Ren''s Growing Abilities
Upon hearing Salister''s name, Azazel quickly regained hisposure and said, "Ah, yes. You''re seeking that demon, aren''t you? Lethargia might be able to assist you."
Lori raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
Vivi affirmed with a nod. "That''s correct. Lethargia possesses the ability to delve into the past, glimpse snippets of the future, and locate individuals using her telepathic prowess."
"Is that so?" Elena responded with mild disinterest.
In contrast, Lori''s excitement was palpable. "Excellent. This means we can finally track down Salister, punish him, and restore those souls to their rightful bodies and peace will be back in the mortal realm!"
Desira interjected, "Who''s this Salister? Did he done something?"
Ren and the others proceeded to provide Desira with an exnation of Salister Kane.
"I see . . . so he was part of the rebellion," Desira mused, her expression turning serious as she took a moment to ponder.
"What''s wrong?" Vivi inquired.
"Nothing, just . . . the rebellion army persists even now. With the corruptions infiltrating the warlords'' minds, more and more demons are joining the rebellion to oppose them. "We might encounter resistance along the way because Lethargia''s territory is a known gathering spot for some factions of the rebellion. They''re pretty scattered once we pass this southern part," she finished.
"Are they going to be a problem?" Elena asked.
Desira answered, "If you''re not traveling with us, then no. But once they see me and Vivi, yes. Currently, they don''t know what Obsidian X looks like, but they surely recognize our faces."
"I guess there''s no avoiding them, then," muttered Evie.
"We''ll fight them if they cross us," Ren said. "Let''s head to this town as soon as possible." The sooner they finished with Lethargia, the sooner they could go to Hubrion.
"Alright, the fastest way to Lethargia is via the stream. We can leave whenever you''re ready," Desira said.
However, a notification signaled Ren and Evie that they needed to log out of the game, as they had consumed their maximum time for the day.
After saying temporary goodbyes, Ren returned to his room while Evie was back to her home country.
Ren took this time to rx with a bath and a meal while contacting Leonel and the others for updates on their respective tasks.
It seemed that Leonel and the others had sessfullypleted their missions, and now it was time to assign new ones.
Throughout the day, Ren meticulously nned the uing missions for Leonel and the others, ensuring they had the necessary items to aid them.
It had been a busy month for World Conqueror. To maintain their position at the top, they needed to push their momentum and keep pushing forward.
Fortunately, their top-ranking status attracted new yers, but it didn''t mean that the other leading guilds weren''t making it harder for them.
Members joined World Conqueror, enticed by their top position, but they often left swiftly when threatened by rival teams. Some were even spies sent bypeting guilds. Fortunately, Alice efficiently handled these infiltrations.
Despite their achievements, World Conqueror still faced the ongoing challenge of a manpower shortage.
Ren, however, remained undisturbed, anticipating such hurdles. He understood that having a multitude of members was irrelevant if they weren''t ultimately useful.
In the grand scheme of things, Ren believed in quality over quantity. He knew that a cohesive and skilled team would outshine arger, less efficient one in the end.
After making sure that everything was in order, Ren resumed the rest of his day like normal. However, back in school, Ren found himself at the center of attention once more. The girls were gossiping about him and noticed the changed in his physique. "Don''t you think he''s grown taller and leaner?"
"Yeah, there''s something about him that exudes a newfound manliness."
"Definitely noticing a change in him."
"He used to be aloof and indifferent, but now his presence seems to have a certain intensity, right?"
"What do you call it? Charisma? Pheromones?"
"I don''t care what you call it, I just want a piece of him."
"Girl, I almost wish Evie neveres back. It''s a sin to keep that kind of man all to herself."
While some wanted to approach Ren, eager to discuss World Conqueror, inquire about his recent activities, delve into his ns in Arcadia, and more. Meanwhile, others eyed the bounty on his head with a keen interest.
Fortunately, the school''s strict policy against fights provided ayer of security. Ren had also hired enough bodyguards to ensure his protection. Although he doubted anyone would be foolish enough to attempt something in broad daylight, especially with the advanced criminal tracking gadgets avable, he preferred to err on the side of caution.
Moreover, Ren discovered that he was an Evolved Human, endowed with tangible skills and abilities in the real world. His strength, speed, and possibly even his defense had increased, mirroring his in-game prowess. The notion crossed his mind that even a bullet might not prate him, though he hesitated to test this theory and risk his life.
If someone were to confront him now, Ren could potentially kill the idiot, and the realization urged him to exercise caution.
Considering these newfound abilities, Ren contemted seeking guidance from Angelica and Joker on how to control his strength. Carelessness could lead to unintentional destruction of stic, wood and metal, a scenario he had already encountered a few times at home. Fortunately, Leonel was not present during those incidents.
Then there was the peculiar issue of his hair turning white. Ren pondered, where Evolved Humans typically exhibit white hair? Angelica had white hair, and Joker had green, or so it seemed. Perhaps they dyed their hair.
To maintain a semnce of normalcy, Ren resorted to dyeing his hair ck every morning before heading to school. Yet, the relentless transformation persisted, indicating a need to perpetually apply the hair dye. It seemed that Ren''s mornings were destined to include this routine as he grappled with the enigma of his evolving appearance.
Eventually, the day unfolded without any mishaps, and Ren promptly logged into the game as soon as he returned to his room.
