Benimaru's eyes gleamed in delight after seeing the rows of reward notifications flood before him. 'Now, let me see what these things are.'

Beniamru couldn't see any reward information until he completed their missions. So, he was rather curious about what he got this time. At least he was hoping they were not completely useless.

[ Pool of Body Mending: A blood pool made of the drop of God of War. In ancient times, when even gods came down to fight for their rights, much blood was shed. The blood of the gods is the most valuable treasure for mortals. However, based on their efficiency, the effects and value may vary.

  Effects: (1) Can help one to increase their physical attributes and potential. 

  (2) Can help one progress through Vitality Realms easily.

  [Only usable for people from Fleshcrafting Realm to Physique Refinement Realm] ]

Benimaru's eyes widened when he read the description and the effects of this treasure. 'This thing is too good for me.'

Benimaru was struggling to increase his vitality realm as his magic realm was gradually surpassing it. He was afraid that this would make him ignore his vitality realm completely in the future.

'But, from this description, I found something else. I can find treasure like this in the wild too, however, it would depend on luck. Also, I am sure the gods didn't just drop their blood on this world.' Benimaru felt he should pay much more attention to his surroundings than before.

Then he shifted to the next one.

[ Heart Weapon Vault: The origin of this treasure is unknown, but the ability it holds is hard to find.

  Effect: (1)Integrate your weapon to be suitable with your mana. 

  (2)Let your weapon grow along with your realms

  (3)No one can take control of your weapon after it is sealed inside the vault ]

'Hmmm…' Benimaru raised his eyebrows after seeing this. He felt this was not that great for him. He already had a weapon that would grow after it fed on the souls of the ones he killed. 

'But… the mask and the cloak I wear are most important to me. These items need to be upgraded too to keep up with my progress. Let's see if these can be upgraded.' As Benimaru grew stronger, his initial items, which were low grade, would be useless as the powerhouses at his level would not be affected by these items. Also, these two items were his most important parts for his plans in the future; he couldn't just discard them, and he wouldn't be able to find someone who could make them for him.

Extracting the reward from the system, Benimau looked at the Heart Weapon Vault. It looked very simple, just a steel box with no rough edges. It had skin as smooth as the surface of still water.

However, suddenly, the box shot into his chest, taking Benimaru by surprise. But he didn't panic, as he knew it might have been the system's work. He sent his mana senses inside his heart and saw the box revolving right below his mana core.

Benimaru willed his katana, making it move toward the vault, and the moment it came close to the vault, in a matter of seconds, it got sucked in. Benimaru decided to check if he could call his katana outside, and he succeeded in doing so. Seeing this, Benimaru sent the mask and the cloak inside.

After he was done doing it, he shifted his focus toward the rest of the rewards.

[ Do you want to claim your Random Techniques now? ]

'Yes.' Benimaru didn't know why the system had to ask that. He literally just told it to give it to him.

[ Randomizing the techniques. ]

[ Congratulations, you have received Calming Waters Meditation, Blood Chains, Wind Walk ]

[ Calming Waters Meditation:  This technique involves using vital energy to enter a meditative state during combat, enhancing focus, and allowing for quick analysis of opponents' moves. [After mastering the technique, you can use it freely as a skill] ]

[ Blood Chains: By manipulating the blood in their vicinity, the practitioner can form chains to bind and restrain opponents during battle. [After mastering the technique, you can use it freely as a spell] ]I think you should take a look at

[ Wind Walk: By executing precise sword strikes while in motion, the practitioner can move with incredible speed, making it seem like they are gliding on the wind. [After mastering the technique, you can use it freely as a skill] ]

'All of them are good.' Benimaru was surprised to see techniques that he would have bought from the shop if he had stumbled upon them. He was expecting at least one to be useless. 

Rubbing his chin, Benimaru analyzed which suited him best. ' This Blood Chain is clearly for Ravenna, so let's put it aside. Wind Walk is good, but it requires someone who can control the wind element. Only Calming Waters Meditation works for me, and so does for Ragnar too.'

'Now, that I think about it.' Black lines started to form on his face as he spoke coldly. 'It is as if these were for my generals, not for me.'

Benimaru was waiting for the system to refute him, but it seems it remained silent as usual.

'Ahh forget it.' Tossing these useless thoughts out of his mind, he extracted the rest of the rewards, which were gold and rare mana crystals. These were his shopping expenses for at least one week.

Benimaru finally laid down on the bed and decided to announce the end of today. 

…

The sun peeked through the horizon, curious to see what this world had to offer today. 

Benimaru also woke up after an hour or so. 

"Ahhh~ I miss sleeping so much." Benimaru spoke with emotion as the word sleep seemed to be getting erased from his mind. As he grew stronger, he began to feel sleep was useless. It became much more apparent when he was heading toward the third of the major realm. 

Walking outside, Benimaru decided to take a walk and see his base after a long time. 

'Everything is the same as always.' Benimaru thought as he glanced through his surroundings. 

In a few minutes, he arrived at the barracks. Here, he met someone that he hadn't seen for a while. 

"Belal, you woke up as early as always." Benimaru smiled, looking at Belal, who was exercising quietly. The reason he knew Belal woke up early was because every time he opened his shop, he would see Belal waiting outside with his team. When he asked why he came so early, Belal answered that they had woken up a long time ago, having nothing to do. They decided to chat with him before going hunting.

Belal was surprised by Benimaru, as he had not met him in a while. "Hahaha…can't get rid of this old habit of mine."

Benimaru remained silent, thinking of the question he had in his mind. Eventually, he decided to ask after seeing Belal's big smile. "Are you doing well now, Belal? I hope no one troubled you here."

"Yes, brother. I have never lived so peacefully in my life. The only thing weighing in my heart is that I couldn't meet you early? If I did so, I could have lived with my mother peacefully too." Belal sighed, raising his head up in the sky. 

Thup

Patting Belal's shoulders, Benimaru said with a smile on his face. "I am glad you are alright."

Belal stared at Benimaru, feeling very fortunate to meet him. "Thank you, brother."

"Hahaha, it's alright." Chuckling a bit, Benimaru looked behind Belal, where he could see dozens of Swinefiends, Gorebuzz, Raums, and Meatscrapers following the training actions Belal took. "It seems you have made many followers."

Belal turned his head back and said it with embarrassment. "Sorry about that. These guys have been following me after I trained them for just two days. I do not know what got into them." 

Benimaru knew what got into them. They have experienced the warm radiance and kindness that Belal exudes. They might be demons, but they have hearts and minds. So they got infected by him, as this was also the first time they had experienced something like this.

However, Benimaru didn't say it. "Maybe they are just following you after seeing how strong you are. Well, anyway, I have something to do now. You train with them."

Benimaru headed toward the back of the castle, as he wanted to have the Pool of Body Mending situate there.

But suddenly, Belal stopped him in his tracks. "Brother, wait a minute."

Benimaru looked at Belal curiously and asked. "What is it? Just tell me, I will try to do it with what I have."

"Thanks a lot for saying that, brother. It warms my heart. But I am not going to ask anything like that." Belal rubbed the back of his head as usual, hesitating, but eventually he encouraged himself to speak it out. "Brother, can I join you?"
