Chapter 120: Master Hamill

Daniel Drum, a master of the mystic arts, knew all too well the challenge of controlling the mirror dimension. He was also immersed in studying advanced mystical techniques related to this elusive realm. Yet, despite his expertise, he found himself utterly unable to manage the mirror dimension's operations.

Arranging its spatial patterns at will was an elusive art, one only the Supreme Sorcerer could master.

Without the sling ring and a deep understanding of space magic, escaping the mirror dimension's confines was nearly impossible.

To his astonishment, Orion, the acting Supreme Sorcerer, had achieved mastery over the mirror dimension, having only recently transitioned from the role of Guardian Sorcerer. His proficiency was flawless—almost inconceivable. It defied all expectations and common sense.

"Master Drum."

"How should we handle this esteemed priest of rewards & punishments?"

"Besides…"

"You haven't seen the 'Iron Book of the One-Eyed Ancient God,' have you?"

Orion's mouth curled into a slight smile. In an instant, the "Iron Book of the One Eye Ancient god" was confiscated, and all the squid's entries were transformed into pink entries. This discovery brought Orion immense satisfaction. It turned out that monsters could drop pink entries in the mysterious world, though they must be summoned into the real world.

[Pink entry found. Do you want to extract them?]

"Extract!"

Orion's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

In a flash, the remains of the squid's body were illuminated by four rays of light that streamed into it.

[Pink Entries]

- [From the Jungle] [Completely Crazy]

[Wrath of the Ancient Beast] [You Become Stronger by Killing] [Monster in Human Skin] [Blessing of the Ancient Demon] [Venom Spray] [Multiple Mimicry] [Piercing Gold and Splitting Stone] [Ancient Gods Creation]

Adding the luck points gained from killing Bigfoot and Ridovich, Orion had made an enormous profit. However, due to Daniel Drum's presence, it was difficult to destroy Achimino's body and kill him.

Orion believed that extracting information from Achimino would reveal the Blasphemy Cult's location, but securing the "Iron Book of the One-Eyed Ancient God" was already a surprising success.

"Orion…"

"A blasphemous black magic book, even if it is just a replica, poses a risk of corruption. Are you certain you want to keep this book privately?"

Daniel Drum forced a smile, feeling helpless. He did not want his good friend, who had fought beside him, to align with the Blasphemy Cult in the future.

"Master Drum."

"Are you questioning the decision of the Acting Sorcerer Supreme?"

Orion's face darkened as he assumed the mantle of the Acting Supreme Sorcerer. As the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush people to death.

Moreover, he was more than one level higher in rank! Regardless of qualifications, titles, strength, or methods, he was on par with the Ancient One.

The Ancient One had absorbed the power of the Dark Dimension and completed the immortality ritual in secret. Orion, on the other hand, had comprehended the original runes of Asgard and had been recognized and supported by the King of the Gods. The hierarchy was clear.

"As you command."

"I have not seen any tin book."

Master Drum secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He could not break the rules. Since Orion had chosen to steal the "Iron Book of the One-Eyed Ancient God," he would assume full responsibility. This way, Drum could absolve himself. After all, these were orders from the Acting Supreme Sorcerer, and it was not his concern.

"The Acting Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj…"

"You are truly a heretic. Unfortunately, you are not a member of my association…"

Achimino's life was sacrificed; his eyes, filled with admiration and hatred, closed in an instant. All entries turned pink.

"Dead?"

"The human body is indeed fragile."

Orion shook his head. Even though he possessed an entry system and had shed his mortal form, even an [Omega-level] being could not contend with a cosmic god! Should a Celestial awakening occur, it would tear apart the entire Earth and erase all traces of civilization—a burden too great to bear.

"It seems…"

"I must consult with the Ancient One Reverend."

Orion sighed inwardly and extracted all the pink entries.

[Secret Knowledge] [Beast Tamer] [Blessing of the Ancient Demon]

He felt disheartened by the loss of 500 luck points. He should have known better. It would have been more efficient to kill the reward and punishment priest Achimino directly!

"Orion."

"You have made the greatest contribution in this battle."

"Two of the four great priests of the Blasphemy Cult have died at your hands."

"It's a major victory for the entire hidden world."

"But…"

"Try not to venture out alone, and be mindful of your family's safety. The Blasphemy Cult's retaliation is far more brutal than that of the Devil Cult!"

Master Daniel Drum gave many instructions. Orion couldn't help but frown.

"Pay attention to the safety of your family…"

Orion was conflicted. He had not yet met his parents in this life. Once the site selection for the Rune Academy was complete, he would visit his predecessor's parents. After all, he needed to show filial piety, or he would feel guilty.

"Let's go."

"It's time to return to Kamar-Taj and inform Master Hamill of the two great priests' deaths."

"Master Hamill will certainly grant you the appropriate sect merits and rewards."

Daniel Drum opened the portal. Soon after, the Scepter of Achimino, along with the body fragments of Ridovich and Bigfoot, was transported to Kamar-Taj.

The Inner Court

Inside a simple and unadorned hall, Master Hamill, with a serious expression, thin cheeks, and wearing reading glasses, was reviewing the account book. He was responsible for nearly everything food, clothing, war sorcery, and bonuses.

The most prominent name in the account book was Orion!

Orion had successfully united Asgard and Kamar-Taj, fostering skill exchanges between their realms. This achievement had quietly transformed the entire landscape of the secret world, creating a butterfly effect of unprecedented scale.

However, Master Hamill frowned, struggling to calculate merit. Just then, Orion and Daniel Drum arrived with the captured spoils.

"Orion?"

"Daniel?"

"You... killed the Reward & Punishment Priest?"

Master Hamill's eyes widened. He immediately recognized the scepter handed to him by Daniel Drum as belonging to the reward and punishment priest of the Blasphemy Cult, Achimino!

"That's right."

"The Blasphemous Cult awakened Bigfoot in an attempt to harm the Acting Sorcerer Supreme."

"Orion killed two great priests. This is Achimino's scepter, along with the body fragments of the merciful priest Lidovic and a severed hand of Bigfoot."

Daniel Drum recounted the events. Then he handed over the corresponding marker, making Master Hamill's eyes widen in astonishment.

Killed the two great priests?! Orion... actually possesses such strength?

Master Hamill had never witnessed Orion's life-and-death struggle.

"I will take careful notes."

Master Hamill's expression was grave. In an hour, a grand-scale sect competition would commence. Orion, Mordo, and Casillas—three masters of mystic arts—were set to compete on the same stage.

The news had spread throughout Kamar-Taj, and all the apprentices and Guardian Sorcerers eagerly awaited the event!

What qualifications and virtues did this Acting Sorcerer Supreme possess to merit his position, a role Kamar-Taj had never before established?

The anticipation for the Holy Land competition had reached fever pitch, and expectations among the Guardian Sorcerers were at an all-time high.

As Orion walked into the inner courtyard, countless Guardian Sorcerers watched him with admiration, as though he were an endangered exotic animal.

This reaction aligned perfectly with the effect of the entry [Winner in Life].

[Winner in Life] (Purple): Though you may seem unremarkable now, you will soon capture the world's attention, charm countless admirers, and attain power, wealth, and status. Those who befriend you will also receive divine blessings.

"The world is watching…"

"How can I continue to keep a low profile?"

Orion felt the pressure.

"Orion."

"This is your allowance."

"It includes the reward for killing the Stitched Monster and the monthly salary for acting as the Supreme Sorcerer."

Master Hamill handed over ten ancient coins.

Orion then remembered to check Master Hamill's entry panel.

[Name]: Hamill

[Identity]: Butler

Entries]: Good at Calculating (green), An Old Horse Still Waiting for His Time to Run (green), Treating Everyone Equally (green), Having a Long-Term Vision (green).

[Good at Calculating] (Green): He is particularly skilled in calculations, with extraordinary cognitive abilities. He can easily solve mathematical problems and ensure no mistakes in the account books he audits.

[Old Horse Still in the Stable] (Green): Even at over fifty years old, Master Hamill has never slacked off. His broken left hand does not affect his ability to perform mystic arts.

[Equal Treatment] (Green): He is inherently rigorous and fair, faithfully following the Supreme Sorcerer's teachings, performing his duties conscientiously, and managing the logistics of the hidden sect.

[Foresight] (Green): As the chief steward of Kamar-Taj, he can foresee

potential losses from a vast amount of information and prevent financial crises before they occur.

"Four green entries?"

"It seems that being a butler does not require extraordinary strength and courage."

Orion took the ancient coin and muttered to himself. He then bid farewell to Hamill and Master Drum and proceeded directly to the Kamar-Taj library. Now that he had discovered how to summon monsters into the real world, he needed to study relevant books thoroughly.
