Three Months

"You have two whole years. Now that the Writers Association has helped you find a suitable target, put more effort into preparing for the battle."

I will also extract information about the habitat from the Knight Order ' exploration intelligence for you.

Remember, your target is not a newly evolved [Otherworldly Demon], but Mature Body with a certain history and hunting experience.

With your current strength, even if you unleash the potential hidden within you, there is still a great risk involved. Give yourself six months to a year to prepare for battle.

Building upon the existing foundation, we will continue to explore the potential of all beasts, while simultaneously seeking a sufficiently powerful piece of equipment to arm ourselves.

Abel nodded, "Okay..."

"Abel, you will surely be able to stand in a position even higher than mine and look down upon this world. This current stage is a very important step, and you must withstand whatever pressure you may be under."

"I will definitely do it."

Abel's expression and inner thoughts were both very resolute.

However, after returning to his dormitory and reviewing the detailed text and images in the intelligence report, he seemed to want to find an opportunity to drink with his friends to relieve his worries.

Abel, who was scheduled to participate in more than ten practical training sessions every day, had a clear understanding of his own abilities and limits.

At this stage, it is impossible for him to defeat such a demon in a one-on-one fight.

Viewpoint switch.

Three months have passed since Han Dong cleared the solo Destiny Event - "The Mist".

During this period, Han Dong perfectly balanced his rest and study time, striving to maximize the potential of both his [Occult] and [Library] skills to the highest Seed Stage.

Due to the upper limit issue.

Han Dong stopped studying desperately and instead adopted a more relaxed and restful approach to learning.

I gradually spend more time each day immersing myself in the library, reading books from various fields.

Once, while reading a book called "Fundamentals of Plant Therapy," Han Dong learned a method that could simplify "Life Siphon" and make the conversion of energy and life more efficient.

By reading various books, Han Dong's goal was to gain a comprehensive understanding of the 'magic system' and optimize the energy consumption of magic as much as possible.

As for the issue of "stress-relieving drugs," Han Dong also used Demps's influence in the Slums to administer them to some ordinary civilians who had suffered from Visual Pollution, and the effect was very good.

Once mass production is achieved, the debt owed to Demps can be paid off.

Splash! Splash!

Han Dong was reading until 8 p. m. when he got up and large raindrops pounded against the windowpane.

Just as Han Dong was preparing to wrap himself in the Bird-beak Doctor's coat and brave the heavy rain to return to his dormitory.

A fairly spacious umbrella was held over Han Dong's head.

"Let's go back together! Professor Hera needs to prepare her speech for tomorrow's meeting, so I don't need to accompany her tonight."

The person holding the umbrella for Han Dong was none other than Demps.

Today he was wearing a long trench coat with a round, high collar, which covered half of his face, but it still couldn't hide his handsome features.

Now Han Dong and Demps are considered seniors in their Third Year, and many of the younger female students who recognized Demps cast envious glances at them.

I really hope they can enjoy the same treatment as Han Dong.

Moreover, considering Han Dong's short and thin appearance and his hunched face, coupled with the fact that the two often walked together, many rumors had already spread in the library.

Han Dong asked, "By the way, I haven't seen you for over two weeks... Where have you been?"

"I went to the Destiny Space and almost died."

"Huh!? What difficulty level is it?"

"Four and a half stars, cursed event - ' The Midnight Terror '. In the hastily formed team, three people died, and only I and a very lucky student barely survived to complete the game."

Although it sounds terrifying, Demps looked completely relaxed, not at all like someone who had just come back from the brink of death.

No one knows exactly what happened during the Destiny Event.

"Is your seed saturation level also high?"

"Hmm! Premature saturation is a good thing, it gives us more time to prepare... Nicholas, have you found your target yet? With a backer like the Crow Prophet, finding a target should be easy, right?"

"No, I didn't bother the teacher."

Demps adjusted his monocle. "Since you don't have any clue either, next time we leave the city, let's take more time and try looking outside the city, how about that?"

"Sure."

Both of them have their own networks of connections outside the city, and exchanging intelligence can double the probability of finding a suitable target.

"For ordinary Knight-Errant, if they want to find a suitable target, they usually buy information from writers... After all, writers can leave the Holy City through dreams and spy on the situation outside the city in a special state."

However, let's not go down that Pathway, haha.

Demps an awkward smile.

Because of the previous Secret Stone Incident, both of them were targeted by a large-scale traitor mixed in with the Holy City, and Mr. Black and White directly revealed the other party's identity.

The two should try to avoid any association with the Writers Association.

Ti-ta-Ti-ta!

The carriage traveled from the library to the Dormitory Area.

Through the car window, Han Dong glimpsed a young man sitting alone on a stone bench by the roadside in the night rain, holding a wine bottle in one hand and covering his forehead with the other... In his university days, Han Dong often saw similar 'heartbroken men'.

"Huh!? Stop the car!"

Han Dong immediately stopped the vehicle and got out with Demps.

The person sitting in the night rain, drinking alone, is none other than Hundred Beasts Abel, hailed as the student with the strongest talent in this year's class.

"Abel!? What's going on?"

The first thing Han Dong noticed in the carriage was the striking white hair and the animal ears that were exposed after drinking, revealing his true nature.

Han Dong thought he was seeing things, after all, Abel was the grandson of Commander Kaimon, how could he be in such a sorry state.

"This is so hard... this is so hard..."

Completely drunk, Abel kept repeating his lessons, seemingly suffering an unprecedented blow.

Having no other choice, Han Dong had to carry it onto the carriage.

Ugh... Who knew that before he could even put Abel down, Han Dong vomited all over him.

Han Dong sighed helplessly, "Brother Demps... what exactly did Abel go through?"

"I guess the pressure and demands from Commander Kaimon were too high. It's most likely about the [Breakthrough]... Nicholas, bring Abel to my dorm tonight. We three have the same goal, so let's discuss the Breakthrough together."

"OK."

On the other end.

At the entrance of Han Dong's dormitory.

After learning that Han Dong had returned from the Destiny Space, Mia Seminovich, carrying the Demon Blade, would wait here every day and take every opportunity to return to her dormitory with Han Dong.

Mia would be happy Even Though sleep on the sofa.

But Han Dong didn't come back tonight.

"Scumbag! He's probably out fooling around with that Demps guy again!"
