Chapter 167: Celestial Archer

Max didn’t know what was currently happening to Enzo, but one thing was certain, he must definitely ask him.

He continued studying in the library and when the time was up, it was now time to train with his Radiant Knights.

The Adaptive Combat Courtyard, for the past month during its creation in his residence, had proven beyond useful to their training.

Not only Max and his Radiant Knights’ skills, stats, and levels increased, their combat strength as a whole has drastically improved.

At the same time, Max aimed to increase his active skill, Summon Radiant Knights to Master level, allowing him to summon all his Radiant Knights at once.

At the moment, their training, in accordance with the training plan, were not involved in ramble, but rather the simulation of fighting against mostly demons that Louie included.

Louie would visit the adaptive combat courtyard every month, constantly updating based on Max’s needs.

Max was honestly surprised. Though, he would often ask the bishop to cover the cost of the update.

Louie would not ask for a fee, but the materials cost was something that Max had to cover.

Max didn’t want to spend a single copper from the materials fee, having to plead to the Archbishop, who didn’t even dilly-dally and immediately covered the cost.

Max also suggested for Louie to add demons he knew after reading the Demon Classification Collection.

He was also surprised and couldn’t help but recall after reading each species of demon he encountered in his past life.

Every single one of them had the potential to end his life.

Unfortunately, it was his fellow humans who ended his and his brother’s life.

As Max described the demons he wanted to appear in the adaptive combat courtyard’s simulation, Louie was honestly surprised and a clear admiration was revealed from his face.

Max had thoroughly studied the demons, not only their abilities, but from their appearance down to their weakness and strengths.

Max confidently told him the demon’s behaviors, fighting style, and attitude towards humans.

Louie was astonished. It was precisely the reason he didn’t ask for a commission fee anymore, only for the materials fee.

After all, he could also learn and utilize this knowledge for his future adaptive combat courtyard maintenance in the Imperial Academy, not only in the Mirefall Province but the Empire’s Imperial Academies as a whole.

Louie’s last visit was a few weeks ago, and Max was preparing for his visit next week.

He already had an idea in mind of his suggestion for his update.

At the moment, he trained with his knights, fighting against Greater Demon and his legion in simulation.

He was determined to complete the quest granted by Archmage Arlen’s father and take revenge for Archmage Arlen himself...

...

In Willowmere Town.

The town was flocked with players at C-rank. Although there were still quests at the Greyfen Village, and more valuable than the Town, the latter itself provided a lot of opportunities for the players to upgrade themselves.

The Town had a lot more equipment and potions available than the village.

At the moment, Rhayne, Jaden, Julian, and three members of their party were gathering in one of the pubs, having a conversation with each other.

Rhayne’s equipment was far different than the other rangers.

After all, she bought the Legacy Roulette from the game’s store.

The Legacy Roulette was only available once in every year from different sub-class.

As the person who always won the auction of gold coins by Max, she managed to snatch the Legacy Roulette, allowing her to receive the A-Class Legacy—Starfall Arbalist.

She became the inheritor of the Starfall Legacy, which commands the heavens themselves to rain celestial judgment upon the battlefield.

Buying the Legacy Roulette was actually a gamble for her.

The Legacy Roulette specifically put a description that disheartened every players to waste 100 gold coins to buy it.

[When receiving legacy, the rank of the legacy class is definite, unless the players themselves find the formulate to increase the rank higher than the rank of the legacy class they received.

Please be noted that the Empire has class sequences, ranging from S to SS-Class in every sub-class. Legacy Roulette is simply for those who seek specialization in their sub-class and are willing to take a risk.]

The description appeared to discourage the players, but not Rhayne. She believed in the potential of the Legacy Roulette.

Although she was disappointed that she only won A-Class, she was determined to increase the rank to S-rank by himself after completely inheriting the legacy.

She was determined at all cost to achieve her goals, no matter how much money she had to pour into.

After receiving the legacy, she actually had to regress her class to D-rank and instantly reached C-rank in mere three months.

That alone showed her talent in the game, making Julian and Jaden acknowledge her as the party leader.

Ever since the incident of her losing out with Max, Rhayne changed.

Her temperament became driven and bold. She was also confident and fast, albeit that became her primary weakness that Julian and Jaden managed to exploit.

She became harsh and impatient towards the others, settling expectations high to their other party members, allowing Julian and Jaden to coax them to the former’s brother to joining to their Guilds.

At the moment, the party was formed to become the strongest party in the Mirefall Province, aiming to surpass Max.

But Julian, inviting other players to join the Lewis Guild, was not the party’s core values.

Given that Rhayne was the leader, not even Julian dared to speak about inviting other players to the Lewis Guild.

At the moment, only Rhayne was not invited by Julian, the rest—including a Knight, a Windrunner, and a High Priest were successfully poached by Julian.

The other players couldn’t help but marvel at Rhayne’s beauty and her exquisite equipment.

From what they knew, Rhayne’s set equipment was rewarded by the legacy class she obtained.

She didn’t hide it from them, she revealed the set equipments’ name "Celestial Archer Set", which means her C-Class title was named Celestial Archer.

As the players marveled, the party finally gathered around.

Rhayne opened her eyes and swept her gaze around—her eyes were cold and heavy.

She turned towards the Windrunner, a C-Class Scout, and asked, "Did you find the location of the Dark Mage?"
