--- Chapter 12 ---

"I'm home." Huo Yuhao returned to the cottage with an excited smile because of the recent quest's reward. He also got news about a small Spirit Awakening Ceremony in the city hall.

[Do you want to open the Random Class-based Armor(B-A) Reward?]

"Nope, not now." He replied while walking to the kitchen and creating a fire to make porridge. "Let's talk about rewards later, Evo. I have to feed mom first."

[Noted] Evo responded with a dull tone.

...

After feeding Huo Yun'er carefully and wiping her "beautiful." body thoroughly like usual, Huo Yuhao started his daily training and went to the deepest part of the forest.

This place is rarely visited by people and has the smallest amount of animals because only strong ones live here. Huo Yuhao even saw a ten years old spirit beast a few times.

"Dagger, Sword, Mace, and Bow-Arrows." He commented while thinking about the new classes. These weapons needed to utilize these classes to their maximum value.

Huo Yuhao tested Avenger Class already and experienced the amount of force he could generate. Unlike Assassin and Archer Class, which focused on agility and dexterity. This subclass warrior is too straightforward.

Meanwhile, Paladin Class is a tanker whose mobility is the same as none with Avenger Class. However, Paladin's movement is more fluid than the latter.

"This is interesting, four slightly different mechanics and fighting styles. Combining them would be difficult, but not impossible for me. Right, Evo?" He glanced at the system panel.

[Yes]

"As for the armor..." Huo Yuhao grumbled in annoyance. "If only I had another Gold Upgrading Ticket. Using a Silver Upgrading Ticket would be a waste because I could only get S-Grade Armor at best."

"What a crisis."

[You can convert 10 Silver Upgrading Tickets to 1 Golden Upgrading Ticket, Host] Evo suddenly stated.

Huo Yuhao inhaled his frustration and asked calmly, "I can do what? Again."

[You can convert 10 Silver Upgrading Tickets to 1 Golden Upgrading Ticket, Host]

Cracks!

Huo Yuhao released intense spiritual energy and cracked the ground below him. He has lived in this world for almost three weeks, but only now. Yes, only now has this system informed him about this function.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" He stared at the system indifferently.

[You didn't ask, Host]

Huo Yuhao sighed and questioned, "Whatever, I don't want to ruin my good mood. Is there any more hidden function that I don't know?"

[There are Scan and Map functions categorized as sub-functions within the system] Evo answered naturally.

"Good. Now let's talk about the Upgrading Tickets Conversions function. Since I can turn 10 Silver Upgrading Tickets into 1 Gold Upgrading Tickets, I can do the same thing reverse, no?"

[That's correct]

"Then, Show me my Upgrading Tickets."

[Upgrading Tickets: Iron(51), Bronze(86), Silver(5)]

Huo Yuhao covered his mouth because Iron Upgrading Tickets are good but too low grade for his liking. "Convert all of them to higher grades." He said after not so thorough consideration.

[Converting Upgrading Tickets...]

[...]

[Upgrading Tickets: Iron(1), Bronze(1), Silver(4), Gold(1)]

A wry smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's face because all his work for weeks turned into more valuable tickets. He shook his head naturally because getting attached to such momentary things was weird.

He picked the Goblin Mask and told Evo to upgrade it with the last Iron Upgrading Ticket, watching the wooden mask shining under his gaze.

[You have acquired White Goblin Mask(D)]

"Oh, this is quite nice." Huo Yuhao commented while looking at the bone-like mask in his hand. It has a more intrinsic shape than the previous version, having a horn on the left top side.

[Name: White Goblin Mask]

[Type: Equipment/Mask]

[Grade: D]

[Description: A mask made of the rare White Goblin, having weak forest magic placed within it to hide the user's identity from prying enemy]

"It's time for the main event. Evo, This is the moment, upgrade my random class-based armor reward with Gold Upgrading Tickets." He excitedly said. "Give me SS Grade Armor."

[Using one Gold Upgrading Ticket on the Random Class-Based Armor(B-A)]

[Upgrading..]

[...]

[You have received a Random Class-Based Armor(SS)]

[Do you want to open the reward?]

"Yes." Huo Yuhao waited for the progress bar to appear.

[...]

[You have received Ebony Arms Shroud Type Destroyer(SS)]

"Arm Shroud??"

He tilted his head weirdly and continued, "From that trash-? Never mind. Give me the description."

[Name: Ebony Arms Shroud]

[Type: Armor Hundred/Destroyer]

[Grade: SS]

[Description: Ebony Arms Shroud is a Growth-Type Destroyer Hundred based on [Emilia Gudenberg's Hundred "Innocence."], having the same ability to copy weapons. In addition, This newly developed hundred also have "Devourer." quality to become stronger by eating rare material]

[Since this is a Soul Weapon, you need to have a connection with it, Host]

[Do you want to form a soul connection with Ebony Arms Shroud?]

"Yes." Huo Yuhao felt an odd click in his mind and watched a black-cladding dagger appear before him. It's a 20 cm dagger with a platinum-colored handle and a red jewel embedded into it. There is also a faint silver aura surrounding it. "Does the hundred have a name?"

[No]

"I'll call it Eas from now on, hehe."

The black-cladding dagger released a silver shone and covered Huo Yuhao's body, wrapping him with tight silver armor and four enormous blade-like wings around him.

"I guess these four blade-like wings based on my classes?" He commented while thinking about a heavy mace and shield for his Paladin Class. As he expected, one wing transformed into a pair of mace and shields.

Huo Yuhao frowned weirdly because his grip bent the shield a little, which was not good for him. "Hmm, is it just me, or is this mace and shield fragile?" He asked the system. How could a weapon be weaker than the user?

[Ebony Arm Shroud is currently at Level 0, which means the mace and shield actually are made of raw Spirit Energy and no other materials]

"..." Huo Yuhao wanted to be mad but was too tired of this new annoyance. He could only sigh and placed Eas back to his soul, watching the sky with a depressed look.

The armor peeled itself from Huo Yuhao's body because the "main." part returned to his soul. He was happy to get another SS Grade item but annoyed because he couldn't use it yet. He needed rare material to level it up.

"Should I feed Failure to Eas?" Huo Yuhao pondered this choice because the Blue Orichalcum in the Greatsword is clearly a rare material from the Overgeared Universe. Still, Failure alone is a good weapon with three skills and innate effects.

The Baruka's Dagger also came into Huo Yuhao's thought, but the speed-increasing innate effect is too good to be sacrificed by him. After all, it's effective until he reaches level 50.

"Haa... The Spirit Awakening Ceremony would get held in two days. I have enough time to get rare material for Eas, leveling it up a few times." Huo Yuhao leaned on a tree, falling into deep thought.

"Evo, how did your scan work? Can you search for rare material for me?"

[Activating Search Mode] Evo responded quickly.

Huo Yuhao's Kenbunshoku Haki seemed to be activated indirectly by Evo, and another system panel with several different-colored dots appeared beside him.

[Green Dots on the map are rare materials, Host]

"Evo, you're the best." Huo Yuhao grinned while running to the nearest dots. He looted the whole forest and discovered many rare herbs. And after "looting." until evening, he returned home in a better mood than before.

...

A day has passed, and Huo Yuhao has demolished every rare material in the forest. He didn't leave anything behind and took everything. Yes, everything, whether it's useless or not for him.

He also went to the city and checked the blacksmith there for rare minerals, finding one or two that met his criteria. And finally, he leveled Eas to level 11 and gained another blade-like wing.

It seemed that Eas worked like Martial Soul and every ten levels advanced, another blade-like wing would appear and increase the slot for a copied weapon. Well, Eas is a soul weapon.

"You're such a glutton." Huo Yuhao commented while staring at the black dagger in his hand.

Huo Yun'er had shown a sign of awakening because her spiritual energy began to solidify. She also moved her fingers slightly sometimes when Huo Yuhao fed her.

And The White Tiger Mansion has become gloomier in the past days because the "Killer." haven't been caught by the White Tiger's guards. It left a bad taste in everyone's mouth and fear of not coming out.

The duchess apparently hired an exorcist to purify ghosts from the mansion, making Huo Yuhao laugh for hours. Hilarious.

...

Huo Yuhao is currently at the tallest tree in the forest and made a sniper rifle with Eas. He aimed at the maid quarter or precisely the head maid's office. "A modern weapon is the best for quiet assassination." He whispered while loading a poison-filled bullet into the chamber.

He stared at the head maid through the scope and indifferently commented, "You're one of the main targets, head maid. Don't thank me for sending you to hell."

Swoosh!

A quiet poof escaped the barrel, and the bullet flew at an incredible speed, piercing the head maid's skull. The poison triggered upon contact with blood and caused the middle-aged woman to scream in agony, making every inch of her body melt into meat paste for one hour straight. It's a slow and low process.

"Hmph! You don't get away easily for beating my mom, you old bitch." He canceled Eas's ability, causing the bullet to disappear from the head maid's head. And no one beside him would know how that middle-aged woman "brutally." was assassinated.

He jumped from the tall tree and landed on the ground casually, whistling like he was doing daily chores a second ago. "Well, I have a legacy to tackle." He commented while walking back home.

"Hahaha, I wonder what kind of exorcist would you hire next, duchess~."
