\'A quest-starting piece?\'

Receiving 4 consecutive titles, with 1 of them having an extraordinary buff with quite a wide range, all at the same time was quite surprising, but the quest hint seemed to be even more so, and to be honest I found that quest to be quite interesting…

After all, no matter how one looked at it, it was a quest that would have dealing with demons as its major point, and considering the recent titles I have received one could say that fighting demons would be quite advantageous for me.

Not only are their attacks debuffed by 10%, but all of my abilities are also amplified by 20%!

This truly made it the easiest for me to grow and level up by becoming a demon hunter of some sorts!

But since the quest wasn\'t fully unlocked for now, I could only put that thought away, and wait till I get the chance, for now, it was time to head back so as not to miss the official Brigade joining ceremony!

Looking behind me, one could see that the illusionary formation was no longer effective as only the ruins of the Cave-like entrance could be seen, and considering the fact that this gate was too close to the Lightning Capital, this place would probably be noticed when they search for the source of the collapsing noise, as such this place could no longer stay a secret.

\'Since I have already got all the benefits…\'

It didn\'t truly matter, as I already had everything planned in mind…

`~~`~~`~~`

Going back took me over ten minutes as I didn\'t use my \'Body of Elements\' as I was in no hurry, so I took my time speed walking back to the Lightning Capital…

"Here You go."

Taking back the temporary ID given by the Brigade, I passed through the gate, soon arriving at the Lightning Knight Brigade\'s headquarters.

Pushing the opened door, I made my way to the Head\'s room…

Compared to the last time, the headquarters seemed less lively as I didn\'t even spot the usually active Flone, a good guess would be that she might be busy preparing for the official joining ceremony.

Knock. Knock.

"Enter... oh it\'s you Zero, you seem like you made a really good use of this month."

"Well, just so so…"

"Oh right, what about that letter you left? Did you have something that you wanted to say?"

To the carefree head who was still holding his book, my answer was pretty simple…

Thumb!

Taking out the head of the \'Overseer\', I put it on the table in front of the Head silently…

"..."

The Head\'s carefree expression finally turned serious, as he looked at the head then stationed his gaze at me.

"Where… where did you get this?"

"This is just the answer to your question about the letter, I suggest you wait until tomorrow and open that letter if you want to know the details."

Seeing how calmly I was speaking, the Head\'s expression went back to its previous state as he smiled.

"I see, that\'s ok then, I will let you off the hook for now since you aren\'t officially my subordinate and check the letter for the explanation later… besides, whatever happened, you seem to have dealt with it pretty well."

"Then, I will take me leave."

"I don\'t know if you aren\'t that much of a talker or if you are being rude, but very well, see you in two days."

Leaving the Head\'s room, I headed back to my guest room, as I noticed that the other two rooms were still occupied, it seemed that unlike me who was out for almost the whole month, the other two either spent the whole month here or just did some small adventures and came back early.

Having just returned from a very action packed journey, I decided that it was time to once again use this comfy bed as my permanent location till the time of the official joining ceremony came, since I might possibly get busy with missions later.

That reminds me…

Remembering the mysterious prelude of the Trial of Ice & Fire, I started falling into thought about the truth regarding the first floor, the second floor was undoubtedly one of the Demons\' doing but the first floor seemed to be totally unrelated, as if it was made by some other entity…

With so much uncertainties and blank information involved with that, making a correct guess seemed to be a bit hard but I planned to start by checking the only clue I had…

The \'Icy Fire Formula\'!

But just as I tapped to the packed knowledge that I received then, I could hear a voice speaking directly to my mind.

{ahem… ahem… can you hear me? Test… test… well, whether you can hear me or not I\'m starting now.}

{Just so that whoever is listening doesn\'t make a joke out of themselves this is a recorded message, you can\'t talk to me nor can I answer you, so just listen quietly!}

{If you are hearing this then you must have passed the \'Minotaur Siege\' Challenge, congratulations!}

{Oh wait, it also means he passed the Trial of Ice & Fire, yeah you are right, but I told you not to interrupt me! Smack!}

{Anyway, back to our dear listener, you must be quite a special person for being able to pass all of that, I know you may be thinking, \'Why put such life endangering tests?\', but that was the only way we could determine that you are at least 50% capable of deactivating the demons\' base and most importantly of all, you can\'t be just one of those demon slaves or your mind wouldn\'t have survived the Trial of Ice, I hope you understand our reasoning…}

{Now then, since I already talked about the necessary introductory, it\'s time to get to the real business…}
