Armipotent

After business was done, Eril led Tang Shaoyang out of the workshop, leaving Gortham and Christopher behind. As soon as Tang Shaoyang and Eril left the workshop, Christopher turned toward Gortham, squinting his eyes. "Be honest with me, Old Gorth. He is not an adventurer from Akasian, right?"

"What are you talking about, Chris? Why would I lie to you?" Gortham shrugged.

Christopher observed the Guild Master suspiciously. "I don't really care what you are doing, but let me warn you not to play with fire, Old Gorth. We are too old for that."

"You look younger than me, though." Gortham winked his eye at his friend.

Meanwhile, Eril briefly explained the guild's situation as she led her to the guild quarter. "We have a special accommodation for S Rank Adventurer, but you can stay at the inn in the neutral territory if you want."

"It's fine. I will stay with the guild. It will be suspicious if I stay outside the guild." Tang Shaoyang shook his head.

"This is your room." Eril gestured toward the door as she put a plaque with S-Y engraved on it. The initial was his rank and his name, indicating the room was occupied in case someone else tried to enter the room. "There's a private bath inside, and for S Rank, we have a private cook to prepare your food. You can come to the dining room on the first floor we passed earlier. Or you can also eat at the bar in the main building."

"Is there anything I need to know more?" Tang Shaoyang turned toward Eril instead of looking for his room.

"Ah, please don't have any quest for the time being because we have a special quest for the S Rank, and I think that's the right occasion to introduce you to the other adventurers. The special quest will take time in two days, so please be prepared for your debut." Eril smiled for the first time before he turned away. After three steps, she stopped and turned around once more. "Since you want to hide your identity, it will be best if you don't use skills you often use. Also, don't use the transformation skill unless it's necessary. That's all. See you in two days, Sir Ying."

Tang Shaoyang nodded and entered the room. He was surprised as he entered the room, not expecting the free lodging would be this luxurious. Well decorated, well furnished, and with an aromatic incense filled the room. The room was so comfortable, the opposite of his thought of free lodging.

He sat on the bed, and it was surprisingly better than the bed in his inventory. "Why would she ask me if I want to stay outside if the guild provides such a nice room?" He muttered by himself.

[I agree with the lady. You can't use the power you usually use to fight. No integration with me, Zara, and Zowen. Including the Grand Dragon Transformation, True Dragon, Spirit Summon, and Slayer Energy. Don't ever use it unless you have no other choices.] Avyn spoke in his head, reminding him what Eril had said earlier.

[Do you have something else besides those skills?] Rosalie, the Flame Empress, was quite concerned. Without a doubt, all those skills were Tang Shaoyang's strongest skills. It would be bad for Tang Shaoyang if he could not use the skill.

"I still have [Wrath] and my Skelly Family. I just need to level them up before the special assignment." Tang Shaoyang was not concerned about that. "To cover it perfectly, it will be better if Greed and Wrath are here. I can disguise myself as a Summoner."

The Wrath mentioned earlier was the talent, and the second Wrath was his Golden Dragon. With the Skelly Family and his two pets, he could hide his real class from the others. Of course, he was aware of the consequence of having the Golden Dragon on his side. The other factions might try to steal Wrath from him, but he was not concerned about that. He just needed to kill whoever coveted his pets. As long as the people who saw his transformation died, then his identity should be safe.

Also, Guild Master Gortham assured him that the God Ranks would not come in the meantime. The System would not allow the God Ranks to break the rule consecutively; if they tried to come again, they would face a huge consequence. That gave him the time he needed to climb the tower.

"I will try to level up my skelly and ask Mengyao to bring Wrath and Greed to the tower if possible. Helping them to level up the authority is the best I can do for now." Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh.

He was aware of the situation within his empire. The empire was currently a war against the Divine Church, and at this point, they could not retreat from the war in case the Divine Church was suspicious that he was still alive since the war was under the pretext of avenging him. The situation was better because he killed the Executioner Knight before the three God Ranks came down.

[Are you sure about the skelly? It's necromancy, and people will dislike having such a class. And in most of the world, necromancy is forbidden.] The Angel of Death reminded Tang Shaoyang. It would be silly if he got hunted down by the others because of his necromancy. It was known that the Undead was humanity's natural enemy, and the skeleton was part of the Undead Family.

"Hmmm…. I don't think about that. I will speak to the Guild Master whether the necromancy brings trouble to the guild." Tang Shaoyang never thought about that because, in his eyes, whether it was human or undead, everything was the same. If the Undead did not bother him, he would not regard them as enemies. If the human attacked him, then that group would be his enemy. It did not matter what species they were.

However, he must be careful if that was the case, especially with the Holy Kingdom as part of the Karian World. Those people from the Holy Kingdom most likely hated the necromancy and the skeleton.
