Chapter 83: Entrance Authority Token

[You have killed a Rank One Green-Scaled Snake Level 40. You have acquired +26 Health, +25 Mana, +24 Stamina.]

Hiss!

The instant Evan killed the second snake, the first one hissed in anger, and its eyes turned bloodshot.

Woosh!

The snake opened its mouth, and a cloud of poisonous smoke burst out, spreading in all directions.

The grass that came into contact with the smoke instantly withered, turning into dead grass.

Evan frowned slightly when he saw the poisonous smoke slowly surrounding him from all directions and immediately used Wind Monarch Skill.

Powerful gusts of wind suddenly blew from his direction, instantly blowing away all the poisonous smoke around him.

At the same time, he once again took out Black Star from his storage ring and spent over 100 points of mana.

As his mana disappeared, the black blade of the sword was covered in a thin film of sharp wind, looking as if it could slice through anything.

While the snake was still spewing out poisonous smoke, Evan tapped his foot against the ground and disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already on the left side of the snake’s head, with a wind barrier stopping the smoke from reaching him as he swung his sword.

"Goodbye."

His faint voice echoed across the grassy field, and the sword’s blade came into contact with the snake’s head.

Unlike last time, when Black Star had failed to cut through the scales, the scene this time was completely different.

The thin film of wind coating Black Star showed extraordinary sharpness, and the blade easily cut through the snake’s scales.

Woosh!

A fountain of blood erupted as the snake’s head was separated from its body.

[You have killed a Rank One Green-Scaled Snake Level 40. You have acquired +17 Strength, +23 Magic, +14 Stamina.]

[You have leveled up and reached Level 30. You have received 3 stat points to distribute freely.]

After killing the snake, Evan carefully looked around to see if there was anyone else besides these snakes.

But even after searching carefully, he didn’t find anyone, nor did he feel any presence nearby.

Despite not finding anyone, Evan didn’t let down his guard, as these two snakes had also appeared out of nowhere.

While remaining vigilant, he looked at the second snake’s corpse and noticed that it had dropped two items.

Although he was surprised that it had dropped two items, Evan didn’t get distracted, as he was afraid of getting attacked again.

He quickly collected both items and put them away in his storage ring, planning to look at them after getting out of this strange place.

Evan also checked the first snake’s body, but it hadn’t dropped anything.

When he looked for mana cores, he was even more disappointed to find that neither of the snakes had a mana core.

Once he was done searching them, he immediately began moving toward the end of the grass field.

Evan walked very carefully because he knew that, for some reason, he wasn’t able to sense magical beasts here before they attacked him.

Soon, he reached the end of the grass field, and to Evan’s surprise, no one attacked him even after he walked out of it.

Evan looked back at the grass field behind him and frowned slightly.

’Just what the hell is this place?’ He thought inwardly, feeling confused about this place that seemed completely out of place compared to the surrounding area.

Taking a deep breath, he shook his head and took out the two items he had obtained from the snake.

One of the items was a piece of paper, while the second one was a piece of metal.

Evan raised an eyebrow at the unusual items and looked at the details of the metal piece first.

---) Entrance Authority Token Shard: One of the four shards of the Entrance Authority Token. Collect all four shards to know the full details.

"A shard of a token..." Evan frowned when he saw the details of the item.

The metal piece was golden in color and shaped like a triangle.

"Entrance Authority Token... Could it be that I will be able to enter somewhere if I collect all four shards and complete it?" Evan muttered with a thoughtful look before frowning.

’But how do I collect more shards? Do I have to kill magical beasts to obtain the remaining three?’

Evan thought for a moment before considering another possibility, his gaze shifting toward the grass field as he thought about those suddenly appearing magical beasts.

"Is it possible that I have to kill more magical beasts inside this grass field to collect the other three shards?"

Evan considered this possibility and found it plausible.

He then looked at the piece of paper he had received earlier.

Looking at the piece of paper, he was confused at first, but as he looked at it carefully, Evan soon realized it was actually a map.

What surprised him was that the map started from the grass field he had just crossed.

And if he was reading the map correctly, he should arrive at another grass field by following the path shown on the map.

Seeing that the map led to another grass field, a look of understanding flashed in Evan’s eyes.

"I think if I want to collect the other three shards, I will have to go to this second grass field."

And as if confirming his guess, his status window also showed the information of the map.

---) A piece of a map that leads to the place holding a shard of the Entrance Authority Token.

Evan looked at the map carefully and found that the other grass field was also inside the Dream Forest.

He didn’t even have to change his route to reach it.

According to the map, he could arrive at the second grass field in three days while following the same path toward the Capital.

"Since this place is on the way, I will check it out as well."

Evan made his decision without hesitation, as he was curious to see just what would happen if he collected all four shards of this token.

He put the shard and the map inside his storage ring before looking at the grass field again.

After taking one last look at it, he left and continued along his path.

While walking, he glanced at his status window and his lips arched upwards slightly, feeling more confident about going to that second grass field.
