\”You were such an embarrassment earlier!\”
Michael angrily kicked Viper on his butt, which made the latter stagger forward.
\”Why you!\”
Viper charged towards Michael and kicked him on his chest.
\”I will kill you old man!\”
Then Viper and Michael started brawling on the ground while Amanda just watched them helplessly, but after that, a smile slowly crept on her face when she thought of something.
’So Shadow was Michael all along, stupid bastard acting all mysterious before, and in the end, we were actually trying to kill each other before and even started to team up after’
\”Hey, you two! Get it over with and let’s go finish this quest that we had gotten from the Earl!\” Amanda yelled at the two and quickly summoned her Hell Flame Horse after, as she jumped on its back.
Michael snorted at Viper and said, \”Tsk! You’re already old but you were such embarrassment earlier!\”
Viper scoffed in laughter, and said, \”Says someone who started fighting at someone for no reason at all, and they even did it in front of Earl Desmond and his family\”
Micheal and Amanda snorted at the same time, and the former quickly summoned his newly acquired mount that the Earl gave him. It was a black warhorse similar to Alexander The Great’s Bucephalus, and its rarity is just below Amanda’s Hell Flame Horse.
While Amanda received a [Rare] Bracelet from the Earl’s wife, Abigail, and on the other hand, Viper got a new crossbow made of pure silver, which is also a rare quality item.
\”I didn’t know you actually became the Night King’s disciple?\”
Michael quickly caught up with Amanda and asked that question, while Viper just rode behind them.
Amanda just smiled at Michael and said, \”Do you know why I tried to kill you every time we see each other here?\”
\”Why?\” Michael said as he had been very curious about it.
\”Because you have one of the Night King’s fragments on you\” Amanda smiled with a chuckle.
Michael suddenly started coughing when he heard what Amanda said, and so he asked, \”How? How do you even know I have it?\”
\”Ohh? You didn’t get any notifications if a holder of a fragment is near you?\” Amanda said, looking a bit confused.
\”I did…not?\” Michael wasn’t sure, but thinking about it more deeply, he does remember that he didn’t receive the so-called notifications whenever Amanda is near him.
\”You didn’t? That’s weird, I always received whenever someone with a fragment is just near me\” Amanda said while wearing a thoughtful look on her face, looking like she is trying to figure out the reason behind the cause of why Michael didn’t receive any while she did.
\”Wait…how many fragments did you have before?\” Michael suddenly asked.
\”I have two right now, and I’m only lacking one right now, which you currently have\” Amanda answered, as she stared at his eyes intently like she was trying to convey a message through her eyes.
\”Ohh…where did you get the other one then?\” asked Michael.
\”I got it from killing its previous holder of course\” Amanda rolled her eyes.
\”And here I thought you hated me before\”
Michael then sighed as he already what he needs to do next just from the look that Amanda gave him earlier.
He didn’t even hesitate for a second and quickly took out the Night King’s Fragment from his [Storage] space, and when Amanda saw the fragment in Michael’s hand, her eyes quickly lit up in excitement.
\”Here\” Michael sent a trade request to Amanda, from which the latter quickly accepted it.
[Trade Successful]
Now that the fragment is gone from Michael’s hand, the bonus that came with it was also gone, but he didn’t regret it. After all, Amanda is his \”wife\”…before, and he still plans to be her \”husband\” this time around.
And it’s not like he depended much on the bonus stats from the item anyways.
\”So what happened?\” Michael asked when he saw Amanda staring into space, but he, of course, knows that she’s probably just looking at her [Storage] or something.
\”Well, because I’m already a disciple of the Night King, the [System] gave me a choice of giving the Night King jewel to someone to have the chance to become my Teacher’s student, or I can get either a weapon or a beast mount\”
\”So what choice did you take then?\”
\”Of course, I chose to have a weapon dummy! Why would I give this someone? That’s just being stupid and creating more competition when there are already tens of us, and I don’t need to even mention the mount when I already have an Epic Grade Beast Mount\” Amanda rolled her eyes at Michael.
While Viper who is riding and listening from behind them was a bit envious of Amanda’s good fortune.
\”Then show us your new weapon girl!\” Viper laughed.
Amanda nodded and place the scythe on her back into her [Storage] space, and pulled out a different scythe after.
It was just an ordinary-looking scythe compared to Amanda’s previous scythe whose looks reeks death and destruction that looks like the grim reaper’s scythe or something, but this one just looks plain too ordinary with a two-meter long black iron shaft with an ordinary blade attached at the front end.
\”You chose that weapon…among those three choices?\” Viper laughed when he saw how ordinary the weapon was, even Michael couldn’t but be suspicious of why Amanda chose something like that.
Amanda just snickered at them and shared the stats of the weapon on the team chat.

\”Holy…shit! I’ve never seen an item like that before!\”
Viper exclaimed in surprise, and even though he still doesn’t know much about the game right now, but he has this feeling that the weapon in Amanda’s hand is something that can only be called absurd right now!
While Michael’s eyebrows shot up in surprise when he saw that the weapon is actually a Growth type. He had read before in the books in the library of Starlight City that weapons like the one in Amanda’s hand are considered a national treasure, which is coveted by every warrior and even ordinary people alike.
And everyone would kill for it if one is discovered because, for warriors, it is a chance to rise in fame, but for ordinary folks, it is a chance for a change, a chance to having wealth and status in their lackluster lifestyle.
But for Royalties and Nobles, it is…power!
Giving them the power or ability to reel in a powerful individual into their fold, which would increase their martial might and deter their neighboring enemies.
’This would certainly cause a huge ruckus in the forum if someone learns about this’
