Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

Chapter 93: One-Hour Leave, Shocking Changes

Erix soon arrived at the Adventurer's Guild and saw the trio standing nearby.

But Kenshin and Sameira were absent.

"Where are they?"

"They are eating."

"Go ahead and submit your mission items first. We are waiting."

Erix nodded and went inside before submitting his mission items and getting 1430 gold coins.

After meeting up with the trio, he followed them to a luxurious, twenty stories tall inn.

Kenshin and Sameira were eating in the inn's VIP restaurant area with a middle-aged man.

Erix's Aura Gear was on so he could see how powerful that man's aura was, far more powerful than his and Rin's parents.

'Is he at Noble-order?'

'And how come Kenshin and Sameira are together? Didn't they separate like everyone?'

When Erix and others neared their table in the small private open pavilion, Kenshin turned his head towards them and let out a light laugh.

"I knew those three were talking about you when I heard your name."

"It seems that you two were lucky enough to meet each other again soon," Erix wryly smiled.

He nodded at them and the stranger middle-aged man, a greeting.

"It's not about luck, but love," Sameira said with a serious expression. "I am surprised you are not with Rin."

Kenshin narrowed his eyes at Erix and nodded. "Do you truly love Rin? If you do, then why are you not together?"

Erix was stumped. 'Wtf?'

"I..." Erix didn't know what to say to their serious expressions.

"Haha, we are just pulling your leg, "Kenshin burst out laughing and gestured to Erix at the empty chair, "Come, sit."

Erix didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he sat down.

"Erix, nice to meet you," the stranger middle-aged man said with a smile. "I am Duke Khroll."

Since not everyone entered the first floor, many people were still outside, but Erix found a shocking thing on the way as he talked to some people who knew him.

It turned out that all open dungeons in the wilderness and the city disappeared except for the dungeon gates in Guild bases. Moreover, none of the monsters or zombies were dropping any items!

People could still level up gradually if they killed monsters higher level than them, but no more drops!

This change caused many people who didn't enter the First Floor to enter the portal to join the one-month quest with others.

Erix felt the world would drastically change after a month with many new things.

'So it's all silent with only monsters and zombies everywhere? But when will Zombies grow past level 50? I need them to be,' Erix sighed.

Erix returned to his guild base and saw Aaron and three other kids around his age playing with Sangle and one ten-year-old.

They were kids of some members of his guild, and they immediately rushed toward him after he entered.

After telling them their parents would return soon, Erix entered the castle and created a plain Bronze metal board before carving black metallic words.

Since his Metal Conduct reached the 2nd Tier, he could do much more with metals, like changing their density level and foundational structure design with mana.

Previously, he could only condense iron with Metal Conduct to create steel, but with 2nd Tier Metal Conduct, he could create many more types of metal similar to Steel, Bronze, Titanium, and Silver.

But these metals were not the same as regular metals because Erix could strengthen their foundational structure, making them significantly stronger than regular metals depending on his control, mana, and magic.

'If dungeons have vanished, the plan to get consumable items is gone.'

Erix called Kenshin with a comm card since they had also received them from Duke Khroll, and they added each other after going to the courtyard.

[ Erix: This one-hour leaves seems more like a rest stop. We have nothing to do here.]

[ Kenshin: Indeed. We will return with a bunch of other new people who decided to enter the floor. If you want to return, you can go ahead. ]

[ Erix: I'll return after spending one hour here since I have something to do. ]

[ Kenshin: Alright. We'll have finished picking up missions by the time you come, so we'll depart to complete them immediately after you return.]

[ Erix: Got it. ]

...

Erix took out fifteen items consisting of various weapons and body armor pieces beside the metal board containing his message and location before he sat down on the floor and closed his eyes.

'I'll finish that skill today,' Erix thought with determination as he entered Limitless Plane.
