279. Expedition into the Abyss Breakout

Maxwell walked out of the lodging area, a noticeable air of pride surrounding him. In his hand, he carried a long staff with an intricate dragon head carved into its edge, radiating elegance and power.

"Cool staff," one of his colleagues remarked, nodding toward the gleaming artifact.

Maxwell grinned, clearly reveling in the compliment. "Yeah, it's my Dragonova."

"The model that increases a user's magic power by 10%?" the man asked, astonished.

Maxwell nodded with smug satisfaction. "Exactly. Not everyone can afford something like this."

As he left, his chest puffed out with pride, he overheard a snickering conversation from the group behind him.

"Lol, what were you talking about with poopy-pants Maxwell?" one of them whispered, barely containing their laughter.

"Don't come near us. You smell like shitt now."

"Next time, use toilet paper, bro," another chimed in mockingly.
