Luckily, Kendel didn’t seem to think too much of it. Perhaps he only thought that he has some kind of interesting Artifact.

“Ehem… She said I’ll be compensated really well. So I guess it works for the both of us.” Cyril answered nervously.

Kendel accepted his answer as he already learned about this from Asta’s messages.

“That’s true. Anyway, I can bring you away together with Asta, or would you like to leave this place on your own accord? Do you have any other plans?” Kendel asked.

Well, Cyril is actually quite curious about this person’s abilities. Why was he sent here alone to take them out? What kind of Rank-S Artifacts does he possess?

He wanted to know all of these.

Without thinking for too long, Cyril shook his head as he replied that he wanted to leave with the two.

Asta felt better after hearing his reply as she looked at Kendel.

“Alright…” Kendel answered without showing his emotions.

‘It seems like he has a stiff face or something. Maybe he’s a soldier?’ Cyril guessed as he secretly observed the man.

He also had the urge to use his Aura to check the man’s Artifacts but since they are both S-Rank Awakened, he would surely get noticed while doing it, so he had to suppress himself.

Cyril waited for what was about to happen. He’s thinking that this guy has an Artifact that could transport them to another place or maybe something that can make them invisible from the enemies.

He’s looking forward to what kind of trick he has.

However, contrary to his expectations. Kendel only raised his hands and snapped his fingers.

In the next moment, Cyril already saw himself on a ship’s deck!

“Eh?”

It happened so quickly and he didn’t even notice how it really happened. As soon as he saw Kendel snap his fingers, his vision turned dark for a half a second then as he regained his vision, he was already on this deck and could see the vast ocean.

‘Incredible… But hmm… This salty and fresh scent~ It’s been a while.’

The smell of the ocean breeze lifted Cyril’s mood a bit as he observed his surroundings.

“Sir Kendel, Miss Asta… They’re here!”

“Miss Asta is safe! Report it to the headquarters!”

Cyril then realized that there are two others who has been watching them from the platform where they appeared.

‘I see~ It seems that Kendel’s Artifact has teleportation ability. Though it seems to have many conditions. Hmm… It also has a limited distance since we’re not directly sent teleported to their base.’ Cyril thought after looking at the platform where they’re standing and confirming that he was on a ship owned by the guild.

The other two people just now are both wearing robes that have an insignia of the Silent Crawler Guild so it’s quite easy to guess their identity.

‘Interesting… Just what kind of Artifact is this? I’m sure that it has never been revealed to the public even after more than a decade.’

“Cyril! Come with us. Let’s talk about your payment. Right, if you want to have a doctor check your condition, just say so.”

Asta called out his name as she pointed to where they are going.

The two personnel outside were also looking at him unsure how to treat him.

“There’s no need for a doctor. I’d rather request a cabin. I wanted to take rest.” Cyril replied honestly.

***

After about two hours, Cyril finally left the luxurious yacht that he previously thought was a normal ocean liner.

However, he still has something to do with Asta so Kendel brought him in front of the Silent Crawler Guild’s Headquarters using the same ability.

During the time they spent on the yacht, Asta and Cyril talked about the right compensation and agreed to settle it in the guild where Asta kept all of her treasures.

As a matter of fact, Asta even tried recruiting Cyril to join her guild…

“We need a capable A-Rank Awakened in our guild. I’m sure that our guild leader would accept you and give you 10 times more benefits than the Association. How about it?” Asta asked as they entered the Silent Crawler’s Headquarters.

She had seen Cyril’s talent. His Aura Control has already reached such a high level though it hasn’t been a year since he Awakened.

She could recall how it had taken her three full years before she could confidently say that she had mastered her Aura.

“Nah… But thanks for the offer. I’ll consider it after my contract with the Association was completed.”

Cyril answered immediately as he observed the building.

Unlike the skyscraper headquarters of other guilds, the Silent Crawler Guild’s base is just a three-story building which is a bit too humble considering this is the strongest guild in the country!

The Teutonic Knight Guild’s headquarters, a lower-tier guild, that he previously raided was even better than this and they aren’t even in the top 10 guilds of the country!

However, he decided to keep his mouth shut afraid that he’ll offend the lady in front of her.

“Oh… You must be thinking that our base looks shabby.” Asta said with a teasing smile.

It was as if she could read his mind.

“Ah! Not really. I heard that your guild doesn’t have a lot of members. They said only C-Rank and above are being accepted in your guild, right?”

Cyril recalled how picky this guild was.

“Well, that’s one of the reasons.” Asta said as she continued leading Cyril inside the guild’s base.

Asta was greeted by several guild members as she accompanied Cyril…

As for Kendel, it appears that he has to teleport back to his original location after using his teleportation ability.

Cyril guessed that it is one of his Artifact’s flaws. After all, if he was being chased and they saw where he teleported, the people would then just wait for him on that spot to reappear.

Of course, it can also be used to his advantage depending on how he uses it. In short, it truly deserves to be a Rank-S Artifact.

“Oh… It has an underground facility.” Cyril muttered after realizing that their elevator isn’t going up.

“Yes. That’s why our guild doesn’t have a skyscraper…” Asta smiled as they waited for a few seconds.

Soon, they arrived at “B6” where the Artifact Bank is located.

“Follow me.” Asta said as she approached the guards and staff. Soon, they were led to a room where transactions for the deposited Artifacts can be done. As a matter of fact, they can also purchase Artifacts here but it’s only allowed for the members.

“Is it really alright for me to be here?” Cyril asked because he felt that he was seeing things that he shouldn’t be.

“Haha! Of course. No need to worry. I’m an S-Rank Awakened, remember? I have some privileges here and even Kendel approved of this so there’s nothing to worry about. Alright… Now let’s settle the payment.”

Asta said as she called one of the staff to bring her three Artifacts.

“Well, since a few of your Artifacts lost their durability because of me, I’ll give you these three aside from the money I’ll send you.”

“Then, I’ll be accepting this.” Cyril didn’t shy away at all as he inspected the three Artifacts presented to him.

Since they aren’t Rank-S Artifacts, there’s a piece of paper, like a tag, attached to the Artifacts containing all its details determined by an Appraiser.

[ Transcendent Shoes ]

[ Rank-A Artifact ]

[ Skills: Great Stomp ( Active ), High Jump ( Active ), Fall Damage Reduction ( Passive )

[ Durability: 100/100 ]

[ Remarks: Previously owned by a Fiend Monk inside a Dark Fiend Mid-Class Arcane World. The item’s leather part was previously dyed with the color red but was changed to black upon Asta’s request. ]

‘Well, It’s a good thing I mentioned to her that my Elven Boots was destroyed…’

Cyril said as he was still satisfied with this Artifact. Though it could no longer boost his speed with Haste and it doesn’t have Nature Grasp that could bind his enemies, the three abilities were still quite good, especially the Great Stomp that could create an earthquake.

It could disrupt his enemies and give him an upper hand if he used it correctly.

[ Doom Knight’s Incomplete Black Sword ]

[ Rank-A Artifact ]

[ Skills: Doom Slash ( Active ), Sword Intent ( Active ), Undead Aura ( Passive ), Negative Buff Resistance ( Passive ) ]

[ Durability: 100/100 ]

[ Remarks: Found inside an Undead High-Class Arcane World. Difficult to use even for A-Rank Awakened due to natural Undead Aura. Be careful. ]

‘A decent sword. Definitely better than the Centaur’s Long Sword and Giant Wraith’s Sword.’

Cyril commented after seeing the black and ominous sword in front of him. As expected of a Doom Knight’s Sword, even though it’s incomplete, it is still a Rank-A Artifact and has many skills.

Aside from that, he can feel that even if he uses his S-Rank Aura on it, it wouldn’t easily collapse!

He felt a bit excited and didn’t mind praising it in front of Asta.. Then, he checked the last Artifact which seemed to be the most precious among the group.
