System upgrade

"You?"

Bob, who had instinctively activated his Internal energy as well as Vine Fist to attack as soon as he felt someone approaching while everyone but him was sleeping, finally got the time to see the figure that he had sensed.

"Daron?"

"Yup. It is me the great. Who else could it be?"

"But, you… how did you dodge my attack?… Official knight?"

"Yup!"

"Impossible!" However, just as Bob said that, he suddenly remembered the words of Zack a few days ago…

…

"I will have to leave Zoey, Angela and Mother for something."

"Do not worry master. Fals, Grey and I will take full care of your family and city in your absence."

"Sigh… No."

"Master?"

"I do not know what will happen. Initially, I planned on risking it to bring my family with me… However, an unknown entered my life some time ago."

"Unknown… do you mean Daron?"

"Haha! Yes. An unknown I am rather grateful for appearing. Listen to me carefully Bob. Remember, in case I ever tell you to abandon everything and take my family away, you need to escape with them through the secret escape route in the treasury. Make sure to take everything in the treasury with you and make your way out of the forest. Once you do that, take all the wealth with your and make your way to the capital of Pierre. With your strength, and if that unknown actually reached the potential he has, you should be able to make it there safely. I have a friend in the capital named Old Man Traitorous. Find him and show him this. He will handle the rest."

While saying that, Master Zack had given him a silver metal strip before dismissing Bob, who had a serious expression on his face.

…

Right now, Bob simply nodded at the insight his master had. He was able to predict Daron's monstruous growth all the way to official mage in just a few months of learning about Internal Energy.

"Good. You were able to advance in such a short time. Came and have a break. You look like you have been travelling for quite some time."

While saying that, Bob turned around and began walking into the camp with confident steps, with Daron following behind.

Seeing that Daron was not preparing to stab him in the back or some other form of sabotage, Bob inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. This kid was able to dodge his, a Rank 8 Knight's full force sneak attack in the middle of darkness. Someone who could do that was not someone Bob would be able to easily kill, while all Daron had to do was to Reveal their location to the possible enemies following them to ruin everything his Master, Sir Zack had planned.

Since Bob had unleashed his strength outward, the people in the camp did not notice the fight between Bob and Daron earlier, and were still sleeping.

Daron told Bob that he needed to do something and left the camp and walked for about an hour before finding a cave and entering. Next, he sealed off the entrance to the cave with a giant boulder. Having the strength close to a Rank 7 knight, Daron could do this with a bit of difficulty.

'Sirious. Upgrade the main system now. We have about 8 hours until sunrise. I hope it can be done 2 hours before sunrise.'

[That will be completed in 4 hours 34 minutes. Beginning upgrade]

Soon, Daron lost consciousness.

While he was unconscious, the space around him rippled slightly, and the same mysterious energy; that Sirious had sensed and told Daron about when the main system was initiating the first time, broke through the space of the world.

A steady stream of that energy that seemed to exist yet seemed to not exist, entered Daron's unconscious body. It was heading towards his subconscious and heading towards the main system.

However, although it did not affect anything else within his subconscious, his body itself was being attacked by the mysterious energy to an extreme extent that the very cells within his body were being destroyed.

However, the energy did not give off any hostile intent, and therefore the Bloodline Inheritance did not act, since it had already faced this energy before, and knew that in an instant, this very energy would heal up Daron's body completely.

On the other hand, the Internal energy core that Daron had formed was pulsing violently, sending out surges of Internal energy to try its best to heal Daron's body.

IN the next instant, it stopped doing so as it realised that every instant, energy was coming in, and the next, more energy was absorbed to rebuild and reinforce Daron's body. It too gave up on healing Daron.

Just like that, Daron had lost two of his life supporting trump card in case he was near death. Naturally, although he was near death, he was not aware of it, and just like that, the night passed.
