---------

Rex instinctively ignored the derogatory remarks of his system as he instead focused on the good parts of this upgrade that cost him an arm and a leg.

Old Grob may be a shrewd and extremely shameless old man, but he sure knew his job well. This major upgrade by the mystic technician was able to take the armor and the pair of boots from the good category to the decent category.

For the Wind Boots, apart from the first mystic effect being upgraded and the increase in speed and durability of the boots, the 2nd mystic effect that was added was something that Rex felt grateful for.

Coincidentally, the Glidiator effect perfectly fit his current objective of infiltrating the Temple of Blackfire and getting out as fast as possible.

With this upgrade, his chances of success just increased.

As for the Coke Armor, apart from the upgrade to the defense and durability, the only mystic effect of the armor was upgraded also while it got a passive effect.

With this passive effect, the tables were stacked a little closer in his direction. Though a 10% chance was not much, it was not low either. When stuck in a dangerous situation, this effect could be the difference between life and death.

After leaving Old Grob's workshop, Rex returned directly to the inn where he accessed the new stats of the 2 mystic treasures through his system.

Now that this was done, he was ready to commence his plan.

…

It was still early in the morning as activities started in the Mist Village.

The children came out to play like usual as the stay-at-home adults yelled their names to prompt them to attend to their chores. While this happened, stalls were opened as the Mist Village fully woke up to a new day.

"Good morning, Mr. Red Hair".

"Good morning, Madam Stacy".

Rex waved at the middle-aged woman as he casually walked through the streets of the inn where he lived. Having stayed here for 3 days already, he was now known by most of the villagers here.

As Rex walked casually while waving at the villages who greeted him, he paid attention to his pitiful stalkers who were still hard at work following him.

Rex got to one of the stalls before sitting down. "I want 2 fried fish".

The lady was surprised, this was the first time that Mr. Red Hair was coming here to get food. Though she was surprised, she acted fast as she went to fulfill his order and this was when Rex acted.

Rex gave the order in his head, and faraway, Grey obeyed.

The beautiful lady who erected the stall came out the next moment as she smiled at Rex. Rex reciprocated the smile but before he could be handed the chopsticks and the fish, both of them frowned and turned to look into the distance.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

They first heard the loud sounds of stampeding feet against the ground, and as they looked, this was when they saw the horde, a horde of spiders!

Rex reacted fast before anyone could. "Beast horde!"

"Everyone, hide in the underground shelters!"

The guards of the Temple of Blackfire that protected the village were stunned, but they reacted fast as they echoed Rex's words.

Instantly, the village's activity increased as the panicking civilians started being escorted to the underground shelters where they had a higher chance of surviving. In such rushing situations, chaos was sure to ensue.

Amid the chaos, Rex disappeared towards the temple.

Having lost his stalkers who were now worried about the beast horde, and as the civilians were led to the underground shelters while more warriors rushed out of the temple to go defend the village, Rex rushed inside the temple.

As a small village, it did not take Rex much to get to his destination.

The Temple of Blackfire was the most defended location in the village.

With over 500 basic mystic warriors, and 3 intermediate mystic warriors who were the 3 Priests in Black of this branch, this temple was literally an impenetrable stronghold but due to the beast horde, the security grew lax for a little time.

This little time was all that Rex needed to infiltrate the temple.

Having secretly scouted every single corner of the temple in the past 3 days, Rex was like a fish in water after climbing the walls into the temple.

His hard work for the past few days paid as he advanced swiftly.

None of the tower guards saw him as he infiltrated under their nose. Through the information that he got from the bartender, Rex easily navigated his way inside the temple till he arrived at the most sacred chamber, the altar room.

Rex infiltrated this deep without alerting a single guard.

By the time he arrived at the altar room, the battle between the horde of spiders and the mystic warriors of the temple already started.

After getting here, the next problem was how to open the door into the altar room. The massive reinforced door had a riddle mechanism as the password, and only those who were proficient with the Blackfire faith could answer it.

Rex had zero knowledge about the Blackfire faith but he did not need to answer a riddle though, this was because he awakened the Blackfire mystic ability.

Those with the Blackfire mystic ability could substitute it as the password, but none of the guards of the temple had ever dared to use it since they all saw the altar as sacred. Well, Rex was not part of their group.

Once Rex placed his hand on the door and channeled his mystic ability, covering the reinforced door with the blazing Blackfire, the door opened.

Instantly after the door opened, an alarm started blasting across the temple.

Wom! Wom! Wom!

As soon as the alarm started ringing, the 3 Priests in Black who were at the church premises were alarmed as their sharp eyes turned towards the direction of the altar. Without hesitation, they moved.

The 3 Priests in Black were not the only ones that moved. On knowing that their sacred altar was just infiltrated, every worshipper of the Blackfire was infuriated. All of the guards remaining in the temple moved.

The ringing alarm did not elude Rex. Once it rang, Rex's adrenaline level rose as he instantly knew that he was now on a time limit.

Without hesitation, he sprinted inside the now open altar room.

Inside the altar, Rex saw a complicated set-up ranging from different ritual materials, a massive bible, a library, a massive black mystic Axe, and most prominently 2 burning Blackfire on top of 2 candles in the middle of the room.

He ignored everything else as his eyes instantly narrowed on the library.

Rex could already hear the footsteps of warriors rushing in his direction but he did not care as he stormed towards the library before ransacking through the books and pamphlets, then the next moment his system lit up a notification.

[Compatible Cultivation technique has been discovered: Fortified Soul!]

[Do you want to spend 1000 Skill points to learn soul cultivation technique or do you want to store inside the system?]

Rex was stunned.

His original intention was to steal every single book and pamphlet here and keep it in his storage ring for future reference but this option from his system made things a lot easier and faster for him.

"Store inside the system!"

[Affirmative!]

[Compatible Skill book has been discovered: Ethereal Slash!]

"Store inside the system!"

[Compatible Skill book has been discovered: Zone!]

"Store inside the system!"

[Compatible Advanced Skill book has been discovered: Self Combustion!]

"Store inside the system!"

[Compatible Cultivation technique has been discovered: Soul Manifestation!]

"Store inside the system!"

[Compatible Master Skill book has been discovered: Oxygen Manipulation!]

"Store…"

Whoosh!

Rex jumped, performing a backflip in mid-air as he dodged the dagger that was thrown in his direction before landing back in the same place where he previously stood as his hand touched the pamphlet again.

"Store inside the system!"

[Affirmative!]

"How dare you infiltrate the sacred altar room…"

Before the Priest in Black who was red in rage could vent his anger verbally, Rex rapidly scanned his surroundings as his eyes soon narrowed on the windows.

Without hesitation, he sprinted before jumping outside through the window.

It was time to escape!
