Five different brilliant colors emanated from the jewels and the light instantly enveloped the [Great Swamp Scale] .
Then…
The colorful light disappeared!
No!
It didn't disappear but it was absorbed by the [Great Swamp Scale] .
The scale was originally black the size of a palm but after absorbing the colorful light, it instantly inflated like a balloon .
Within a breath of time, the palm-sized scale grew as big as a car tire but soon enough the black scale reached its limit and quickly shrunk in size .
The scale returned to its original size and it became red in color instead of its original black .
When Kieran held it in his hand, it looked like he was holding a piece of fire .
[Name: Great Swamp Scale]
[Type: Scale]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Attack: Extreme]
[Defense: Extreme]
[Attribute: 1 . Great Swamp's Might; 2 . Great Swamp's Strength]
[Special Effect: Blessing of Flame City]
[Prerequisite: Great Swamp's gift]
[Remark: After its seal is removed, the Great Swamp Scale started to show its magic . This is a gift from Great Swamp, evidence to symbolize your collaboration]
. . .
[Great Swamp's Might: Any malicious targets that look at you will have to go through a Spirit authentication not lower than B+ . If a target fails, the target will be induced with Panic and Fear effect]
[Great Swamp's Strength: Utilize the scale to acquire the power of fire, able to form a fireball with attack no stronger than Extreme . The fire will not hurt you when you have the Great Swamp Scale but when the fire leaves your palm, it might inflict the same damage to you as well . ]
. . .
[Blessing of Flame City: With the Great Swamp Scale, you are in the favor of fate while being in Flame City . ]
. . .
"Blessing of Flame City?"
Kieran raised a brow at the special effect but he soon shook his head .
It wasn't that the [Great Swamp Scale] wasn't good, but for his current power level, it wasn't as good as he expected it to be .
Other than the [Blessing of Flame City], the other two attributes were like chicken ribs to him .
To be honest, even the [Blessing of Flame City] wasn't of that much use, after all, he wouldn't be staying in Flame City or the current dungeon world forever .
"Thanks . "
Despite not meeting his expectations, it didn't stop Kieran from thanking Great Swamp; it was the manners he had been taught at a young age .
However, it wasn't the manners that Great Swamp knew of .
"Look at you, I feel like you are more human now . You're obviously disappointed but you still acted so courteously," Great Swamp smiled at Kieran .
"You have obviously surpassed the shackles of mortals since you are able to beautify hypocrisy so easily," Kieran said softly .
It wasn't a verbal counterattack, simply acknowledgment of what Great Swamp had said .
From a certain aspect, Kieran's persistence had transcended the level of common imagination and because of his persistence, it granted him an extraordinary personality .
"I myself was a fiend from the beginning . Although I am addressed as a God and wear the face of man, deep inside… I am still a fiend . At least I am still friendly enough and also a vegetarian . "
Great Swamp wasn't concerned about his own truths .
He didn't mind his true identity nor did he conceal it .
The way he expressed himself made Kieran think highly of him once more .
"Don't look at me like that, I don't want to hear any praises from you . After all these years, I've heard countless praising words—they don't have any encouraging effects anymore, all that's left is flattery . "
"I don't want to hear any of that from you," Great Swamp said before Kieran could speak .
"Don't think too much . Maybe because you've been a God for so long you're starting to think so highly of yourself?" said Kieran as he turned to Jin who was unconscious beside him .
"Don't be so anxious . I haven't finished giving you your rewards . Where is your Fire Raven companion?" said Great Swamp with a wave of his hand .
"Outside," Kieran replied .
When he entered Rassho Temple, he had to choose between bringing Fire Raven along or moving alone and despite the place having very few people, he still chose the latter .
Although Fire Raven leveled up twice and reached the level of an above-average fiend, it didn't mean it could conceal its presence .
The reason why targets didn't notice Fire Raven most of the time was because of the distance .
Gawk!
The raven called after being summoned .
After Great Swamp opened up a breach in the barrier, Fire Raven flew in according to Kieran's will and landed on his shoulder while it sent a probing gaze at Great Swamp .
It wasn't afraid or anxious, as though when it landed on Kieran's shoulder, it was fearless in the face of anything .
Great Swamp nodded in satisfaction .
"You've taken good care of it, better than I expected . Seems like you really view it as your irreplaceable assistant . Before this, I was still worrying that you might not want to part with the scale but now, it seems like I am overthinking—2567, are you willing to give your companion another chance?" Great Swamp suddenly sounded serious .
"What do you mean?" Kieran furrowed his brows .
"Fire Raven itself was a low-level fiend, most of the time it had to rely on numbers to win . Even if it was lucky and got some chances, it is still hard to force a change on its own . This is related to their own limits, nothing else . "
"And now, you have a chance to allow it to break through its own limits but in exchange, you will lose the scale . Are you willing…"
"Here!"
Kieran quickly tossed the [Great Swamp Scale] back before Great Swamp even finished .
How would Kieran choose between a chicken rib Legendary item and a companion that would accompany him throughout his long tedious adventures?
It was a no-brainer but Great Swamp was stunned .
"It may still prove useful to you though, maybe it's power its incomparable to your own but when you have it on you, it will bring you…"
"Good luck? I know that just like how I know what I'm doing when I make a decision . "
"Can you hurry up? I don't believe that you want to continue chatting with me like this right?"
Kieran once again interrupted Great Swamp and Great Swamp didn't mind at all as always .
"I am really enjoying dealing with you," said Great Swamp .
Then, a drop of blood came out from his index finger and landed on the scale . The red [Great Swamp Scale] immediately emanated a dazzling radiance .
The small scale was shaking ceaselessly and dragon roars along with snake hisses could be heard .
The urgency from Fire Raven quickly reached Kieran's heart and despite its urgency and anxiety, Fire Raven stood still on Kieran's shoulder .
It wasn't just because of the companion contract's power, it was also a tacit relationship .
"Go have it . "
It wasn't until Kieran gave the order that Fire Raven dived into the light .
Another round of evolution has begun for the Fire Raven and Kieran was waiting for it patiently, anticipating his new enhanced companion .
Then…
He noticed a sense of envy in Great Swamp's eyes .
