Kano

Although he had lost his robe, he still had his extremely powerful body and with his full speed will be able to cover the distance in seconds.

{Ding, A powerful body cultivator is coming towards this direction} announces to Lex the system.

He could feel that the ground was shaking slightly.

"Shit, what am I meant to do" he exclaims in fear, knowing the blacksmith's strength.

As if understanding him the robes were vibrating in his hands as if asking him to let go. After giving the robes his blood, he felt as though he could understand what it was trying to tell him.

He wanted to explore the robe's origins and abilities and how clothes could be intelligent, but he knew that this was the wrong time.

Letting go of the robe, which he knew wouldn't leave because of his connection with it, it wraps itself around Lex's body.

Wrapping around Lex, it lifts him up. It seemed to be struggling and Lex felt his energy was being drained as well, but it managed to carry him onto a nearby building. He stood on top of what seemed to be a store of some sort as he cautiously peers over, watching the scenes unfold.

"Come out thief, give me back my robe" he roars as he scours the area for any signs of the robes.

As he ploughs through the streets around the area looking for the robe, Lex was holding his breath and cautiously watching from atop the building.

As a body leveller, Max's senses were only above average and wouldn't have a spiritual sense through feeling energy like Power Levellers.

[System what is this robe] he asks, baffled why such a powerful cultivator will go to this extent for some robes.

{Ding, the robe's origin is unknown and it seems to be infinite, but its current state it can act as an armour and clothing to the host, can help the host to fly and act as an additional pet as it seems to have a consciousness}.

"The Originator Eye Demon, Ashura and now these robes, I have a connection with too many conscious entities," he mumbles to himself, remembering how much of a hassle the Eye Demon is.

[It must be a spirit of some kind like the Jade Empress had explained to me] he assumes.

Max was in a crazed state, causing a massive commotion as he shouted while charging his large burly body throughout the area.

Returning to where he last sensed the robe, he stumbled forwards onto his knees and began to punch at the ground.

His fists filled with power shook the area wildly, infuriating all the people in the area, but most in the outer country wouldn't even dare to look at him.

"Who the fuck is causing trouble outside our base" roars a voice that came out of the Voltiac base.

It held a small area large enough to be a village, but it was merely one base where the Voltacs, Voltiac guild members, can accept missions, buy and sell information and have a good time.

Before the Voltac even came out of the base, from the crest of a skull with two swords, Max realised who they were and despite being enraged, he knew better than to mess with them.

Even the royal families of the countries saw the Voltiac Guild as somebody they couldn't offend and knew that they had enough power to rival countries.

Immediately he jumps up and runs as fast as he can in the opposite direction, as even if he could defeat them all, he wouldn't live the next day.

Despite being a freelance guild, the upper echelon value those who are loyal and important to the guild and once you become a C Rank Voltac, you are officially one of them and have many benefits throughout the continent.

A small girl came out of the base with an angry expression and seeing that Max had run away had a gloating expression.

Scoffing at the seen she returned inside the base as if nothing happened and walked away proudly.

"What incredible status and power" mumbles Lex in awe, seeing a small girl able to send such a powerful giant running in fear.

[I made the right decision to join the Voltiac guild] he thought to himself.

Lex knew that it would be suspicious if he goes in to join the base right after the commotion, so decided to wait a few hours.

"So, robe what can you do, now that you seem to have a connection with me," asks Lex.

The robe turned away pouting and from what Lex understood it seemed as though it didn't want to be called robe.

"What should I call you then," asks Lex annoyed.

It pointed a corner at him as if saying that he should choose and he also understood its intent from its connection.

"Robey," he says jokingly, which was instantly declined.

Thinking carefully Lex couldn't help but think about how Kano was brainwashed by Ashura and the Eye Demon and thought that it was a nice name and didn't want to let it die.

"I will name you Kano" he declares with a reminiscing smile.

Lex had a split personality, where he wanted to be a good person like the ignorant Lex that wanted to join the rebel forces, but also had Evil Lex, which was him when the Originator Eye Demon was influencing him and Lex had to keep the balance between them to be strong and balanced.

The robes fluttered around him as if in agreement and happiness.

The robes engulfed Lex and covered his entire body forming an outfit for him.

Lex felt as if the robe was an extension of himself as his energy flowed through the robes as well.

[System are there beast cores in this reality as well] asks Lex, realising just how much energy he will need to strengthen himself, Kano and Ashura.

{Ding, beast cores are available and can be a reward from missions, however beast powers are very rare in this reality and aren't well known to the people apart from those in the core countries and some in the inner countries} tells him the system.

"This world is getting more and more exciting" mumbles Lex with a smile.

"Kano conceal my identity and we can begin our journey in this new world as Voltacs as we explore and get stronger to help Ella and Angela" he states.

The white robe forms a hood which coats and covers Lex's long white hair and as it does so it stops all light from reaching Lex's face making it impossible to see his face.

Feeling his face covered Lex finally met all the conditions he had set and planned to complete before joining the Voltiac guild.

"Time to become a Voltac"
