Chapter 906 - Being Alone Again

"Hmm? It now affects all senses and the area of effect is bigger. I guess I can do much more with this." Theo squinted his eyes, contemplating what he could do with this skill. "I guess I have more options right now. I also need to procure more A Rank Skills to upgrade my other skills."

Before trying his new skill, Theo opened the information about the artifact.

"The artifact is located in the depths of Great Arsin Forest. I accidentally met the monster that is using a pale white shield. However, that shield is releasing a darkish yellow Magic Power instead of blue Magic Power."

"The monster is a Supreme Rank, but what makes it hard to get this shield is the minions. There are around a thousand monsters surrounding this guy.

"As for the monster, it's similar to a gremlin but with a bigger body and green color. That's all I know.

"When I saw this, I was planning to create a team to retrieve the artifact for myself, but it's all yours now if you can take it, that is. If you wait for too long, there might be more people that find it, and it won't be my problem anymore.

"As for the specific location, if you go to the small temple in the middle of the Great Arsin Forest, you will find some sort of ancient words. At the very least, the God who gives me his blessing doesn't know anything about that word. Go straight to the west from that temple for approximately twenty miles. That's all I know."

Theo furrowed his eyebrows and opened the map, searching for this Great Arsin Forest.

As soon as he found it, he looked for information about it.

Name: Great Arsin Forest

Level: 500-700

Description: It's filled with ferocious beasts. Be extremely careful when entering. There are a few poisonous monsters.

"Poisonous monsters huh. I guess this is one of the reasons why not many people come to this place." Theo muttered with a frown. "Well, poison won't work against me, so it's an opportunity for me. I will buy some stuff for this trip and head straight to this place.

"As for the local mission, I can get.. Is there a mission around this area?" Theo frowned and checked the local missions in the company's Skylink.

After a while, he found something close.

Mission: Flying Frog Expedition

Description: There are a total of 800 Flying Frogs (Level 575-650) scattered in the plain. All personnel will need to help to capture them alive.

Reward: 1,500,000 Star Points for each frog and 1 Contribution Points (50 Points to be considered for finishing a local task).

Theo thought this was the same as the mission from the temple, but he soon understood why it was called a local mission that was supposed to be taken once a year.

The area that the mission covered was similar to a city. In other words, the mission would take a long time to finish.

"800 frogs with one frog is priced at 1.5 million.. That's equal to 1.2 billion in total. As expected from a big corporation, the scale of the mission is so big." Theo shook his head helplessly, impressed by the amount of money used around.

"Anyway, I think this mission is good enough. Normally, Ava would find the monsters with her ears.. but now that she's not with me, I wonder how fast I can finish this mission." Theo frowned. "And it's not like I'll be the only one completing this mission. I can go find the artifact first, but I can't waste too much time, or else the mission will be taken away.

"As for that one contribution point.. I need to get at least fifty frogs, huh." Theo's expression became serious. "Yeah. Let's do it this way. There are many monsters around that area, so I'll use this chance to level up a bit.

"Since I'm alone now and my leveling speed is greatly reduced, I guess I should expect to level up to level 550 for a two-month expedition, only around thirty levels.

"It's not much, but that should be good enough for other people. I have a few things to try as well, so time to polish them.

"As for the mission, it was posted yesterday, so I guess no one has taken the mission yet. If I rush to reach the Great Arsin Forest, I should have around two to three days to get the artifact.

"The rest will be spent to hunt these flying frogs. It shouldn't be a problem.

"I have some basic directions ready, so I'll finalize the route while going there." Theo kept muttering everything he needed to do. It was truly meticulous since Agata was the one who did most of those things for the last two years.

Nevertheless, Theo had come up with the basic plan and started his preparation. Agata didn't prepare anything for him anymore, so he needed to do all the basic stuff by himself.

After getting all the information, he prepared his bag and equipment. Because he was in disguise, he didn't have a weapon anymore because he left everything in Italy.

In the end, he only used the blue artifact as his weapon and planned to buy a spare for his clone later.

Theo then used a few hours to use his Illusion Manipulation, checking the extent of his ability. Because he just saw it, he couldn't replicate what the Mind Elder did. Though, making a realm for one person like what he used against the witch in the Moniac Dungeon wasn't that hard anymore.

After getting a two hours nap, he went to the store to buy a simple weapon and all other stuff for survival like a tent and spices.

Luckily, the portal was the closest portal to his place, so there was no need to travel to another state.

Theo smiled and entered the portal as his body got enveloped by the light.

When he looked at the town on the other side, Theo felt a bit nostalgic as he muttered while taking a step forward. "I guess I'm back to my old self.. Journeying alone."
