Chapter 33

I went out of the hotel as soon as Sylvia fell asleep, following the [Man of Great Wealth] ‘s intuition in the form of lightning outside the window.

Some supernatural phenomena occurred since I had intentionally violated the rules, but they weren’t big threats. Rather, they seemed more like props and staff members of a low-budget haunted house amenity in theme parks.

“Where is it leading me…”

The mountain path from District 4 to the Elder’s Hall.

This place was close to Bercht’s borders and was a high-end area that players could only reach in the mid-to-late stages. Without the Bercht Conference, they wouldn’t even be allowed to enter unless they were an elder or a devoted student. That meant there was a high probability that I could acquire rare items here.

I looked down the mountain range from Bercht’s dark summit.

Ghosts and phantoms of all kinds tried to haunt and attack me, but they couldn’t even surprise me no matter how much they rampaged. I did find their attempts interesting, at least.

“Swishinashinrayi Rodenayi.”

“Burrakan Turnima.”

They seemed to be wondering why I wasn’t surprised and thinking I was a fascinating individual.

I destroyed the phantoms and explored Bercht’s mountain range, loitering around the area for a while with the [Man of Great Wealth]’s vision turned on.

Throughout my stay there, I saw tigers as big as a house and a snowflake that moved by itself— a ‘snow spirit.’ I also came across a wildcat with 20 eyes.

If possible, I would’ve slain them and used their parts as materials. Unfortunately, they didn’t attack me first.

All I could do was ignore them and slowly make my way through the dark mountains.

“…!”

Soon enough, a golden air current caught my eye inside the white coniferous forest, leading me to a charred spot.

“Burtan Kyliswinima.”

“Ratarata Kraslnwima.”

The phantoms spoke, but I ignored their words.

At the end of the air current was a piece of wood that burned alone in the middle of the seemingly lightning-struck area.
