[Sacred Knight Armament Blade- a type of sword that possesses the soul of a great warrior… On the rare chance a necromancer gets this sword, the soul may be taken out of the sword and turned into a powerful knight…]

[Host has triggered a related quest… find a suitable armor for the knight…]

[Reward: New move: Summon the Sacred Knight…]

[Would you like to accept the quest?]

"Yes…" Duncan watched the arrow spin above his head, and… finally… he saw a fellow group of competitors walking towards him…

Wormy walked next to him as he walked to those fellow competitors, and… suddenly they were face to face with each other…

In this group, there appeared to be ten, level 50 orcs, and… Duncan noticed they were Florante Ice Orcs….

"System… how many more strands do I need of the Florante Ice bloodline?"

[Ding! 50 more strands are needed to reach the 250 strand mark…]

"Thanks…"

Duncan smiled at the orcs in front of him, and they held out their hands…

"So… we've actually found someone else in this huge battlefield…"

"Yup… and this ones so small my foot almost crushed him!" They had their hands on their weapons, and… Wormy bravely stood in the center of their circle….

They pat him on the shoulder, and… kept laughing and laughing and laughing…

Duncan's face started to boil with anger as he realized this reminded him of another situation…

In the academy, his first year he hadn't been the best student…

In fact, none of them were the best students, and…. the first year he got in a battle with another fellow student... He remembered punching him in the face because he tried to hurt Nyla, and under the sound of orc laughter he put his hand inside one of the orcs chests…

After pulling out the heart, and watching their friend fall over… The orcs screamed as Duncan walked off as their flesh flew over his head…

Indeed, at close range, corpse explosion surely did a powerful job, and Phoenix kept fighting more and more orcs as a lady appeared in front of him…

"Heh… congratulations… you killed five participants… here…" She tossed a map into Duncan's hand, and then…. The dust left the shadow of her beautiful face…

Demons… they were beautiful, dangerous, and treacherous… In addition to that, he had a new treasure map in his hand…. And the system redirected the arrow above his head…

[Ding! Host has earned 15,000 experience for Phoenix killed 25 flesh orcs, and… host has gathered 225 / 250 strands of the orc bloodline…]

[Host will also reach the treasure maps first location in 800 meters, and… you summon flesh worm skill has leveled up to level 46….]

"You know… it might not be a bad idea to change the names of the skills…" Duncan picked up a few more treasure keys, some storage rings, and… pulled of an earing from one of the orcs bleeding ears…

After equipping it, he enjoyed the placid breeze as he arrived at the first treasure box…

It had a small lid with gold encrusted flowers etched up and down the coffer in which the treasure key could be inserted into…

However, even though Duncan had a key in his hand, he waited and waited for the system to mention something about lock picking….

After all, he heard Wormy and Phoenix talking to Mona behind him, and… indeed… the system hadn't taught him any stealth skills…

[Ding! Host has unlocked a new profession, lock master, and… host has 15 stealth points…]

[System has automatically purchased a few picking tools for host, and… system suggests to save time by using the key…]

"System, there is five boxes on the map… These keys are one use items, right?"

[Ding! Information not in database…]

"Okay… Well then… don't mind me…" Duncan leaned down and pulled out two pins, and one of them happened to be a skeleton key…

Using the other pin, he fenagled the lock, and… Wormy and Mona started fighting behind him…

Seriously, though, he couldn't quite get the lock, and… that lady appeared behind him again….

"You… you realize we're watching you right…" She tapped her foot as Enna reappeared in the sky…

Of course, she just wanted to check up on Duncan, and… after realized he appeared to be fine, she went back to continue working on pills…

"Yes… However, my skill needs experience…" Duncan tossed her a key causing the moderator Note to laugh…

[Ding! Hosts Picking skill has received 10 experience!]

[Ding! Hosts Picking skill has received 20 experience!]

[Ding! Hosts Picking skill has reached level 2…]

Click!

The lock opened as the lady leaned in and looked at the box with Duncan…

Behind her, the entire flock of Duncan's summons stood in corpse explosion range, and… Duncan asked her, "what's your name."

"Note… I'm in charge of giving out rewards to A5 participants…" She gave Duncan back his key, and pat him on the back…

"You're a funny, weird one… do you know which sect you'd want to enter?"

"No, I guess the best one…" Duncan found nothing in the box, and Wormy put his arm around her as she looked at him strangely…

BOOOOM!

That question blew Duncan's mind, and… in the sky he noticed a few men leaning in like they were paying attention…

'Don't mess this up Duncan… you must go to the sect with the most information available!' He smiled at her and scratched his head, his body growing tense…

"Ah… Well… you don't know…"

"The best sect for an A5 candidate would be the Ravaging Fire Sect… However, try and reach the S evaluation rank… I'll be seeing you short stuff!"

Poof!

She left as soon as she came, and… Wormy leaned his head into the treasure box seeing that nothing was in the chest…

[Ding! Hosts trust level with Note Hathor has reached 10%, and… to reach S rank host must gain 25 kills…]

[Host is also recommended to evolve to an orc first, or… host will be forced into the outer sect in every S class sect…]

"That doesn't sound too bad… Anyway… has the range of your scanner improved at all…"

[Ding! Systems max capability for scanning the area has increased to 1 km of any of hosts summons, and… system didn't have time to load requirements for the Summon the Sacred Knight Quest…]

[Host must get five items for the quest: sickle ground grass power, three steel armor, five magnification talismans, two myth wheels, and…. the fifth item is already in the sword…]

[Ding!]

[Each item is able to be found in the current battlefield, and… please be warned that Levana has entered into the sect and Enna is approaching her]
