Eliex's huge figure hovered in the air, about to take the monster corpses.

George stepped forward and blocked him, watching carefully. "Where's my quest reward?"

"Don't worry, I keep my word." Eliex didn't seem angry. With a wave of his hand, a message appeared. Three scrolls floated in front of George.

[You have completed the Forbidden Spell Trial Quest of The Wraith of War · Eliex. Your experience seal has been lifted. You have received the Forbidden Spell scroll: The Purifying Flame, The Jade Barrier, and The God's Verdict.]

[The Purifying Flame: A fire-type Forbidden Spell. The caster connects with the essence of fire elements, consuming 100% of their magic power to summon a meteor of flame, covering a certain area and turning it into a fiery hell. It deals fire damage equal to 50 times the caster's Intellect. The higher your fire element understanding, the more damage it does. The range, duration, and power depend on the caster's Intellect. Cooldown: 1 hour.]

[The Jade Barrier: A water-type Forbidden Spell. The caster connects with the essence of water elements, creating a spherical shield around themselves. The size of the shield depends on the caster's strength. It can block 50 times the caster's Intellect in damage. The caster can't move while using it. It can be canceled by the caster or broken by enemies. Cooldown: 1 hour.]

[The God's Verdict: A light-type Forbidden Spell. This skill requires very high Intellect and soul power. The caster connects with the essence of light, forming a huge physical sword of light that purifies evil and destroys darkness. It deals light damage equal to 100 times the caster's Intellect. Enemies around the target also take 10% of the damage. It consumes 100% of the caster's magic power. Cooldown: 1 hour.]

"Wow, that's strong!"

George was shocked. These three Forbidden Spells were all powerful-one was area damage, one was single-target, and one was a defensive skill. The boosts were insane.

Fifty times Intellect? That wasn't five times.

And The God's Verdict had a 100x Intellect bonus.

George's Intellect was already over 7,000. If he combined both his job stats, it could break 10,000. With that, his Forbidden Spells could deal millions of damage. And he was only level 30.

What shocked George even more was the cooldown. Only one hour?

He thought Forbidden Spells this strong would have cooldowns measured in days, even months. But it was just one hour.

But then he thought about it and understood. Forbidden Spells cost 100% of your magic. That was a big price. Unless you were forced or had no choice, using it would drain all your magic. For a mage, that was a death sentence.

But George was different. He had a group of powerful monster bosses. He didn't have to worry about danger. He could use the Forbidden Spells without hesitation.

"Guess I need to look for better magic-recovery potions and gear from now on."

For him, the real problem wasn't the cooldown. It was how to get his magic back.

"By the way, the experience seal is gone. I can keep leveling up."

George quickly opened his stats. His experience pool had already built up billions of points. It was enough to take him to level 40.

He couldn't wait any longer, so he started leveling up right away.

[Keeper class level up]

[Current level 31 tier]

...

[Keeper class level up]

[Current level 40]

[Your Keeper class has reached level 40. Taming pet count +1, pet level +10]

[No suitable pet detected]

[Your Keeper class has reached level 40. Please complete the advanced quest as soon as possible]

The message kept coming. George used over a billion experience points to jump his Keeper class all the way to level 40. His power got a big boost again.

"Keep going."

George didn't rush to use the Advanced Crystal to level up his second class, Frost Mage.

[Frost Mage class level up]

[Current level 31 tier]

...

[Frost Mage class level up]

[Current level 40]

[Your Frost Mage class has reached level 40. Please complete the advanced quest as soon as possible]

George used another billion experience points. His Frost Mage class also reached level 40 and triggered the advanced quest.

He took out the Advanced Crystal he had already prepared and crushed it in his hand.

[Keeper 40-level advanced quest: Kill a 50-level Abyss boss]

[Frost Mage 40-level advanced quest: Kill a 50-level frost boss]

"Damn!"

George couldn't help but curse. Just like before, the advanced quest was still nightmare difficulty-kill a boss ten levels higher than himself.

The Frost Mage's quest was also pretty crazy, asking to kill a 50-level frost boss. At least it wasn't an Abyss boss, so the difficulty was a little lower.

But luckily, Constantine had improved a lot in recent days, and his stage had even reached SSS tier. Killing a 50-level Abyss boss was no problem at all.

He should have saved that Wolf King instead. Killing it would have been perfect for the advanced quest.

George felt a little regret.

He looked over at Eliex, who was sitting cross-legged, with a ball of fire in front of him. The fire was melting the ten monster corpses, and he was forging a weapon.

"Can he really make a Legendary gear?" George didn't leave right away. He was curious and watched Eliex closely.

Elise and the others were also curious. The idea of a Legendary gear was very tempting to them.

The monster corpses looked like molten metal. Eliex threw in a sword blank and kept working.

Flames rose, the air became hot, and the ground was filled with steam.

Eliex's ghost-like body even started to sweat.

George couldn't take the heat anymore and took a few steps back.

Time passed. A full day had gone by. In front of Eliex, a red long sword was now forming. It gave off a strong pressure, but it still wasn't complete.

"Is it that slow?"

George had already lost interest. If he wasn't curious about how Eliex would break the hidden realm seal, he would have left long ago.

"First, learn these three Forbidden Spells."

His Intellect and soul power were already high enough. He directly learned all three Forbidden Spells.

[You have learned fire-type Forbidden Spell The Purifying Flame]

[You have learned water-type Forbidden Spell The Jade Barrier]

[You have learned light-type Forbidden Spell The God's Verdict]

The messages flashed. George easily learned the three spells. He was eager to test them, but there was no monster around.

He looked over at Eliex, who was still working on the weapon.

"Just how strong is this guy?"

George muttered to himself. He had a feeling that even with the Forbidden Spells and Constantine's power, he still wouldn't be a match for Eliex.

He didn't want to be an enemy with this guy.

"What if I tame another pet? Would Constantine be able to break the SSS tier?"

George felt a little excited.

Taming a pet can be done by searching for suitable targets on your own, or by actively looking for them.

But in this hidden realm, there clearly wasn't a good target.

Not necessarily!

George looked at Eliex, his eyes burning with interest.

This guy was an SSS-tier boss. More importantly, he was a powerful Artificer who could forge Legendary gear.

The only problem was that Eliex's level was way too high-70 levels.

George could only tame monsters no more than ten levels above himself. Maybe when he reached 60, he could try. But by then, he might not even find Eliex, or the guy might have gotten even stronger.

He stopped thinking about it and waited for Eliex to finish forging the Legendary gear. Once the seal on the realm was broken, he would go to the Abyss realm to find a suitable pet and finish the advancement quests for both his Keeper and Frost Mage classes.

The realm was dark and time felt frozen.

No one knew how long it had been.

Then, a blinding light filled the space ahead. A white, holy long sword appeared, radiating pure light. A powerful energy wave surged, causing the space around it to ripple.

"Fuck, finally succeeded!"

Eliex laughed out loud, grabbing the hilt of the sword with both hands.

The entire realm space suddenly filled with a strong wind. George raised his arm to block it, trying to keep his eyes open.

Eliex held the sword, and his presence changed completely. His power was now terrifying. George felt like a tiny insect in front of him.

"Powerful!" Elise had a look of fear in her eyes, but she still stood in front of George, protecting him.

"Is this what a Legendary gear looks like?" Constantine muttered, but his eyes were fixed on the sword in Eliex's hands.

He wasn't good with long swords, but he would have loved to risk taking it.

He wondered if this undead monster could make a War Hammer or something similar.

"Demon God, do you think this small realm can trap me? The day I break free, I will come for you!"

Eliex shouted, gripping the sword tightly and raising it high. A terrifying strength gathered around him, shaking the whole realm.

"Kid, get back!"

Eliex looked at George and the others, and warned them.

George could feel the power of the attack. He immediately led Elise and the others away.

"Break it!"

Eliex roared with all his strength, bringing the sword down with a mighty swing.

The space trembled. A huge blade of energy shot out, tearing through the air. Where it passed, the space collapsed, creating deep black cracks.

It was a spatial rift.

Boom!

The realm exploded in a huge sound. Light poured in, and the group found themselves in a new, unknown space.

At the same time, the sword in Eliex's hands couldn't take the pressure and shattered.

"Ha ha, I'm finally free! But this sword was made in a rush. It's only a Semi-Relic."

Eliex looked at the broken blade, shaking his head in disappointment, then dropped the hilt.

He had escaped the realm. As long as he had the right materials, he could make another powerful Legendary gear anytime.
