Hearing Aren's words, Tyrance grinned and put the handle of his broken sword into the sheath before slowly taking out the handle again.

Aren's eyes went wide like saucers as he saw a new sword coming out of the sheath, yet it gave the same feels like the previous one.

"Hehe, my sword is unbreakable," Tyrance spoke with a grin as he showed off his perfect sword again.

"Tsk...," Aren clicked his tongue, "I guess that sheath is the main item."

He then looked at his status and saw that he lost a total of 19 STR as well as 20 AGI. He wasn't bothered about the loss of STR since he wasn't overdependent on it, the AGI however, bothered him a lot. He was already feeling a bit slower than before.

'The first thing I will do after entering the city is to buy a total of 8 items. I have 8 Articule gear slots right now, and I need to take full advantage of them to get as powerful as possible,' Aren thought.

"You don't need to feel sad about losing that cheap gold-tier chakram. Since you won against me, you must have gotten 8 to 10 honor points, right?" Tyrance asked.

"Oh yeah, I also unlocked something called an Honor shop," Aren muttered as he heard Tyrance's question and nodded, "I got ten honor points."

"I knew you never had dueled someone before when I first challenged you. Anyway, you can buy a platinum-tier item with ten honor points, so you didn't suffer loss," Tyrance said.

"The items in the Honor shop refresh every day and...whatever, you will know when you open the shop," Tyrance half-assedly said before he turned around, "you want to go to an Underworld city, right? Follow me."

After he finished speaking, Tyrance activated some kind of movement ability as he started running at a fast speed. His feet didn't make any sort of sound as he ran.

Aren decided to check the shop later as he first followed Tyrance and caught up with him.

Seeing Aren catching up to him easily, Tyrance spoke enviously, "your path gives you the ability to fly already. Once I become a Supreme lifeform and get my path to level 10, I will also be able to fly."

"Your speed and reflexes are quite powerful, though. I guess your Maestro of Myriad Blade path is good," Aren then asked some questions one by one, "is your sheath the part of your path? Is it an optimum-grade path?"

However, Tyrance suddenly stopped and looked at Aren with a frown, "how do you know about my path? I never told you its name."

"Ahem, I have a special pair of eyes, so I found out about your path's name," Aren said with a cough, "anyway, continue moving. I only know the name of your path, not about its details."

Tyrance looked at Aren for a moment before he nodded and continued running.

"My path is not optimum but mystic. It's not about swords, but blades, myriad blades! I am restricted right now because I need to become a Supreme lifeform to even use my two blades: [Blade of Moon Thread] and [Blade of Omni Tyr]," Tyrance said with an annoyed expression, "so even though I have unlocked two of my talents, I can't use them right now."

He then looked at Aren and spoke with a bitter expression, "we will have one more duel after I become a supreme lifeform."

"Eh...fine," Aren nodded with a smile.

...

After ten minutes of constant traveling, they finally arrived at an Underworld city.

On the way, both of them encountered several monsters and even had a competition to see who killed more. Naturally, Aren won as he killed six monsters, gaining 5440 exp, while Tyrance killed four.

Both of them entered the city after paying ten gold coins at the entrance gate as entry fees. Aren also deactivated his Weimbus gear and turned it into the bangle form in his left hand.

"Now that we've arrived, I will be taking my leave," Tyrance said before he took out a crystal from his inventory and gave it to Aren, "take this communication crystal. I will contact you once I reach Supreme lifeform, and we will have our duel again."

"Yea. Sure," Aren took the communication crystal and put it into his inventory.

Seeing that, Tyrance nodded and left.

"Now, let's first find a store that would accept buying this skill stone," Aren murmured as he took out the skill stone <Sparrow Bind> and looked at its information.

-----

<Sparrow Bind>

-Skill Rank: A

-Cost: 100 Spirit Energy

-Effect: Conjures a lightning sparrow that deals lightning damage and a chance to cause paralysis to the target. Reduces their lightning resistance by 100.

'This should get me a good amount of gold coins if I sell it,' Aren thought before he put the skill stone back into the inventory and asked a passerby about the location of a skill store.

The people in this Underground City were of mixed races. Aren saw a variety of them, ranging from Humans, Elves, Dwarves, and even Demons.

Aren started walking in the city after asking for the skill store's location from a dwarf young man.

After five minutes, he arrived at the skill store.

-----

{-Ajax's Skill Store-}

-----

The store was bigger than the one he saw in the Kingdom.

After entering inside, a staff member approached him and asked, "Esteemed Customer, what can I help you with?"

However, suddenly, the whole shop started to tremble. Not just the shop but the entire city.

Aren was startled, but the staff member spoke with a polite smile, "It seems that you are new in the Underworld. You don't need to worry about these earthquakes as it's just some Epic lifeform beasts wreaking havoc outside. The city lord's knights will take care of them."

Hearing that, Aren was a bit speechless. Epic lifeform is something like that Blood Hexa Entity, and it was really hard to deal with. So he didn't want to go out and meet with multiple Epic lifeform beasts outside.

"I am not here to buy but to sell," Aren said as he adjusted his bearing before taking out the skill stone.

"Please go to the second floor if you want to sell a skill stone," said the staff member politely before pointing at the stairs leading to the second floor.

Aren nodded as he went to the second floor and met a staff member there who led me toward a large desk after he said that he wanted to sell a skill stone.

Behind the desk was a man looking in his late twenties.

"Please give me your skill stone for inspection," the staff man behind the desk spoke.

Aren took out the skill stone and gave it to the man who looked at it for a few moments before nodding his head.

"Lightning-based A rank skill, <Sparrow Bind>," the man said as he put the skill stone on the table before looking at Aren, "We have the same skill stone and its price is 9450 gold coins here. We will take this skill stone for 9400 gold coins with 50 gold coins as our profit."

"Deal," said Aren with nod.
