Urgency!

*Slam!*

The Butler from before charges in and yells out "Sir!"

"I'm fine, I'm fine, go get me the next thing to upgrade here is the sword and shield" Sora hands over the shield and sword.

"B-but Sir what happened?" The Butler asks with a confused face.

"I made a mistake causing my old armor to explode," Sora says as he releases a sigh.

"Are you alright sir?" He asks worriedly.

"Of course I am a tough nut to crack" Sora reassures him. While contemplating 'The rise in monsters and their strength worries me, it seems something is causing the monsters to rise in strength and numbers... And I doubt that there is unlimited space in the dungeon.'

'For whatever reason, the stronger ones are deeper in, but what if they get pushed back? It will cause a chain reaction of the weaker ones getting pushed back... And when they don't have anywhere to run too... they will leave... through the gates'

As he was thinking the butler decided to quickly clean up the room. Sora didn't even notice him still lost in thought 'It would have been fine if it was just a rise in strength but the rise in spawn rate means that soon there will be no space left...'

'Whatever it is I will have to get stronger' Sora looks up just as the butler is leaving. "Where is Taki?"

"She is in the training room sir" The butler responds.

"Bring me to her quickly," Sora says with urgency.

"Is something wrong sir?" The butler starts leading the way seeing the urgency in Sora.

"Well let's just hope I am wrong," Sora says.

Hearing this the butler quickens his steps, they soon reach the training hall. He opens the door and enters "Miss Taki, Sir Sora wants to talk to you."

The training room is a simple large room with a few wooden dummies, targets and wooden weapons hung on the wall, but currently, it was drowned in ice and water.

"Couldn't you have tested it outside? You do know someone is going to have to clean it up." Sora says as he noticed the room.

"I would rather ruin this place then ruin the garden." Taki shrugs "What do you need?"

"Remember the rise in monster strength and number?"

"What about it?"

"The stronger ones will push back the weaker ones making them climb up the dungeon."

Taki takes a moment to think "You... you don't mean..."

"I do" Sora answers before she can finish. "I am going to need you to do the favor for me."

"What is it?"

"I need you to bring me to the temple of the War God."

"Why?"

"I want to get stronger I am also going to need better equipment quickly."

"You want to help?"

"I do"

"You don't have to."

"I want to"

Seeing that he is stubborn she gives up "If there are too many you will retreat right away."

"I can't promise that," Sora says with a determined face.

"At least promise me you won't die," Taki says with a frown.

"I won't die no matter what." Sora says with a determined face thinking 'I have discovered this exciting world why would I die so soon?'

*Sigh*

"Let's get going, Albert prepare the coach, also get someone to bring the best equipment they can find," Taki says in a rush.

"Right away miss." The butler bows and starts jogging away in a hurry.

"Why do you need to go to the temple?" Taki asks as they walk towards the street to wait for the coach.

"I have an upgrade that can only be used if I have a god I worship, I don't know what exactly it will do but from what I know the War God is the best choice for me." Sora quickly explains.

"It could be crucial," Sora says 'Or It could be useless'

"Teach me about magic while we wait"

"Since you want to get strong just circle mana around your body that will make your body adapt to it, it will be easier to use and more efficient," Taki tells him.

Sora nods and begins circling mana through his body while waiting.

A minute or so later the coach appears and just as they sit down a servant runs to the door holding a set of armor and a blue spear.

The body of the spear is a pale blue metal at the bottom of the spear there are two small curved blades with a deep blue core in the middle above it there is a blue ribbon tied to it. While the tip was a beautiful dark blue spearhead with two blades going down below it connecting to the body. It had beautiful engravings on it.

The armor was made out of the same metal and also had similar engravings it wasn't a full plate armor it looked like it was built in a way to not restrict the wearer's elasticity, honestly, it looked so beautiful you could mistake it for ceremonial armor.

"Isn't this too much?" Sora says 'Honestly I am impressed he was able to carry it all.'

"Don't worry you owe me I'll be expecting full payback with interest," Taki says with a smile.

"Now that I look at it isn't it a bit too big..."

"Oh don't worry about that it can resize to fit"

"Oh, that's great haha..." Sora says felling warry of the amount of interest he will have to pay back.

"Alright let's go," Taki says as she knocks on the coach signifying to start moving.

Sora sits down and inspects the armor and spear while asking "How long will the ride take?"

"The ride will take about two hours," Taki says

"Then I'll train my mana for now and I'll upgrade the armor and spear on the trip back." While saying this Sora takes a peek at the stats of the armor and spear.

'Oi, oi isn't this to op? Although I have powerful defense and regeneration so this isn't as useful to me but it's still op' Sora stares at it with shining eyes fealing that it was worth it.

'But should I upgrade it with water or ice? I think I'll do it with water since if I upgrade it with ice I don't know what it would do. I'll leave it for later' Sora stops thinking about it and starts circulating mana through his body.
