Chapter 773: Chapter 773 - A Roar in the Distance
That night, Broken spent his time in the game. With nothing pressing to do in the real world, The chose to dedicate the night to crafting inside his Crawling Carriage.
SexyGrill kept him company, and the two spent the evening talking about various things- especially about her quest progress. She wanted to bring Broken along to find the Floating Island, where the Forest Elf Kingdom of Vensalor was rumored to be located.
She also explained why she hadn't joined the Eternal Challenge. It turned out she had too many things on her plate within the game.
This girl... she had invested way more time into Immortal Legacy than Broken had expected. Then again, it made sense. She was one of the four players Broken knew-including himself— who held the title of Divine Champion and possessed a Unique-grade Class. The other two were Frostedge and Galactron.
SexyGrill was far from an ordinary player.
And Broken respected that.
On top of that, she was also a guild leader, which only added to the weight of her responsibilities and the achievements she had accumulated in the game.
Was this somehow connected to what she had told him before...?
That theory of hers-the possibility that her father's soul had been transferred into the game after he passed away?
Maybe that was why she was so deeply involved, why she poured so much of herself into this world. It was possible. Or maybe not.
When she had first spoken about it-back when they had gone to an amusement park together -Broken could feel the raw emotions in her words, the deep sadness she carried.
But then again... was that even possible?
A soul transferred into a game?
It didn't sound logical. After all, this was just a game. Right?
Broken had considered bringing up the topic with SexyGrill that night, but in the end, he decided against it.
She was someone who always spoke with cheerfulness and optimism, and for some reason, he didn't want to be the one to ruin that atmosphere.
The Next Day
At dawn, Broken and SexyGrill left the city, continuing their journey.
Riding on Polly, they made their way toward the forest region, which would eventually lead them to the mountainous area. Broken knew this journey wouldn't be easy.
As Polly sprinted across the savannah, leaving the city far behind, SexyGrill sat behind him, holding on as they raced toward their next destination.
"We'll be doing a lot of monster hunting along the way!" SexyGrill shouted from behind.
To gain an extra edge in battle, he also summoned Dendros. The guardian rushed into the fray, adding more force to their assault.
After an intense fight, the battle finally ended. They had taken down around 12 monsters, each with a level above 220.
Broken exhaled deeply. He was reminded once again-the stronger the monsters, the larger their health pools, and the more dangerous their skills became.
But this time, the fight had been worth it.
Because among the loot, one particular drop stood out-a Soul Stone.
The glowing gem hovered briefly before shooting toward him, absorbing into his body as if
drawn in by some unseen force.
"A SOUL STONE?!" SexyGrill screamed in disbelief.
Broken dismounted Blaze, holding up the Soul Stone to show her.
"Do you want it, Grill?" he asked casually.
"No... I knew you got that because of your cheat blessing from your Divine Champion skills,
right? I knew it!" she huffed.
"How can you call it a cheat skill when you have one too?" he countered with a smirk.
She sighed at his response. "You do realize that my blessing doesn't directly affect me, right?
It only works on those who form a contract with me. My kind of blessing requires me to rely on others. Not like you-you can fight alone without needing anyone."
Broken chuckled before responding. "As a reward, I'll forge a sword for you. What do you
think?"
"Really?!" she gasped, her eyes lighting up with excitement. "Thank you...!"
Suddenly-
A roar echoed through the air, followed by a powerful tremor that shook the ground beneath
them.
At the same moment, Zepy, the flying golem, sent a warning signal to Broken. "Grill, hide..." he said urgently, grabbing her arm as they dashed toward the cover of the trees.
