Shin manage to gain two level after killing the Minotaur, But his EXP Pool just stopped at 1% immediately after that.

Huu~

"That was intense." muttered Shin to himself as he look at the falling body of the Minotaur.

"Heh, Lad. You are not quite bad, but you are still too weak compared to the female elf that I felt earlier." said Hanzo as he circle around Shin's body.

Shin ignore him as he plans to check out his loots, but before he manage to do that, he was bombered by a barrage of System Notifications.

He took a quick glance at that before swiftly putting all the spoils of war on his inventory space without checking what was it. And after some hesitation, he also dissected the body of the Minotaur to take the usable materials on it. Hanzo is looking at Shin weirdly, confused at the later's sudden change of mood.

After taking all the materials from the Minotaur's body, Shin shift its attention at platform where the Royal Chalice is located.

"What is your plan now, young lad? Are you giving it to the 'King' so that you can dodge his suspicion or are you going to give it to your Church as an evidence?" asked Hanzo while stroking his goatie with his right hand.

Shin answered it almost instantly. "Did you really need to ask? Of course! I'm going to do both. But I'm not going to give that thing to the 'King' in one piece."

Then he walk towards the stone platform until he reach the Royal Chalice. After that he swing the [Yamato] multiple times, cutting the chalice in smaller pieces. After that, he collected all the scattered shards of the chalice and put it in his inventory bag.

After checking the place for one last time, and making sure that he didn't miss anything, Shin finally take a return scroll from his bag and rip it off. Immediately after that, he transformed into a golden light and disappeared at the secret chamber.

At the same time, the entire Saint Heaven Kingdom is shaken by a series of announcements!

Regional System Announcement:.....

That system announcements were repeated five times making it hard for all the players to ignore that.

"What! Someone Solo-Cleared an open dungeon? That was insane!"

"Is it that amazing? I don't think it is. Look it is only a Master Rank dungeon it is not that hard is it? And maybe he is a high leveled player that cleared a dungeon."

"Are you a new player or a complete idi*t? What did you know? Solo-Clearing an open dungeon is easier to said than done. Even the High Rankers are having a hard time doing that!"

"Yeah and you can only Solo-Cleared an Open Dungeon if your level is 10 Levels lower than the average level of all the monsters of the dungeon."

"Oh! Is that so? Then that is really hard then."

While the players of the Saint Heaven Kingdom is busy discussing about Shin's amazing feat. Another series of System Announcement were release, but this time it is a Worldwide Announcement.

Just like the previous announcement, this one is repeated five time in the player's system notification windows. And this time, even the large guilds can't ignore it anymore.

"Investigate who is this guy! I want everything about him as soon as possible."

"Mobilize all our people on the entire game to find this guy's whereabouts."

"Do everything you can to know who is this guy or if he is already a part of any powerful Guild!"

"Someone immediately logout and see the details of the new expansion pack!"

"Tell the other guys to investigate what kind on expansion pack is this."

The man in question on the other hand, is currently walking on the street of Holy City. At the same time, since Shin refused all the calls coming his way, he is currently being bombered by a set of messages from Lawless.

Lawless: Brother Sickarius! What kind of brother are you? You taken another bunch of pies without sharing it with us. You really is a coldhearted individual!

Lawless: Is this what you call a low profile?

Lawless: Tell me what expansion pack did you unlocked.

Lawless: Tell me, did you get something good again? Sell it to me if you gotten your hands on another powerful pet!

'Did this guy think that OP pets are like cabbages that can grow everywhere?' Thought Shin before replying.

Sickarius: I don't know what expansion pack you are talking about. I just took down some Boss Monster then this System Notifications started to pop-up!

Sickarius: And I did got something good. But it is not enough for you. Your equipments are already better that what I have got. I'll just register it all in the Auction House instead.

Shin chatted with Lawless while walking on the streets. And once he arrived in front of the City Palace, he immediately end his chat with his friend and entered it.

The guards didn't blocked him this time, since they already knew who is he, and their 'King' is expecting him to come.

Once Shin arrive at the audience hall, the 'King' is already there waiting for him. And when the later see that the former had arrived, he immediately stood up and greeted him. "Ohh.. Young Envoy, you are already here. I hope you finished what I had requested with you."

Shin already hide Hanzo on another space so that the 'King' can't discovered that he rescued the Void Spirit and made it his first Repear's Retainer, or else this 'King' will become enrage and is going to kill him because of that.

Shin give the 'King' a salute that is unique to the Church of the Sun and the Moon, before replying. "Yes, your Majesty. But unfortunately, I failed to retrieved the Royal Chalice intact, so I'm ashamed to report it to you, your Majesty."

There is a sudden flash of killing intent on the King's eyes when he heard that that. But he still manage to hide it almost instantly. "Oh.. That can't be help then. I guess the monsters there are too strong for you. But you manage to retrieved the pieces of the chalice right?"

Even that flash of killing intent is quite brief and almost negligible, Shin still managed to see that. He is observing the King's reaction after all. Then he took out the shards of the Royal Chalice from his inventory bag and said. "Of course Your Majesty! But because the Chalice had been shattered into many pieces I don't know if I managed to retrieved all the pieces."

The 'King' formed a satisfied smile when heard the first part of Shin's words, but when he heard the next part of it, that smile of his suddenly twitch. But he still manage to regain his composure immediately after. "That's fine as long as you did your best young Envoy."

Then he ordered the General Knight to take the shards of Chalice from Shin's hand. Moments later, and after confirming that it is authentic, the 'King' nodded his head before asking Shin. "Before I give you the reward that you deserve, do you still have something that you want to report?"

'Is this guy testing me?' Thought Shin to himself before answer that question innocently. "Hmm.. I guess there is nothing more, your Majesty. Aside from the bunch of corrupted monsters there I found nothing else. Eh! I guess there is also a strong Old Man. I took me a lot of effort to took him down."

The 'King' want to observe Shin more closely to see if the later is hiding something from him. But unfortunately, Shin's expression is being protected by his [Nephilim's Mask], making him helpless about it.

After giving up the idea of disclosing some secrets from Shin, the 'King' took a deep breath before announcing. "From the power that bestowed upon me by my Ancestors. I 'King Cassius Clay III' is giving you the rewards that you deserve."

Then a Golden Light shine upon Shin together with some system notifications that ring on his ears.

*DING!*

System: Congratulations! You finished your Main Quest Monster Horde. You scored B+ on clearing this quest.

System: You received 100 Fame Points and 3000 Reputation on the Holy City.

Shin look at all his quest rewards and discovered something. 'Ohh... So there are actually clearing rate for High Ranking Quest. And the better your Grade the better the reward. Hmm... Should I take some risk next time then?'

While Shin is in deep thought, the 'King' open his mouth once again. "Aside from what you had received, you can also choose an item suitable for you in our Royal Wearhouse. But remember, you can only choose the item that corresponds on your merits, but if you use your City Reputation Points then that is another story."

"I'm honored your Majesty." Said Shin while bowing his head while having another thought. 'Oh... So I can also use City Reputation Point this way.'

Then Shin was escorted by a steward towards the wearhouse. The 'King' stared at Shin's back for a moment before whispering some words at the General Knight beside him.

...

At the wearhouse, Shin is greeted by rows of rows of different kind of equipment selfs. Shin can't help himself but to turn his head left and right. 'Oh My! This is what a wearhouse should be. Or should I say as expected of a Royal Family?'

The steward guided Shin on an equipment shelf, while waiting for Shin to pick an item on it. But Shin is quite choosey, or should I say he didn't lack any kind of these equipments for now. His current equipments are one of the best for his current level. What's more, he can also upgrade them into a higher rank as long as he found the required materials.

Shin turned his attention at the steward before asking. "Is this everything that you can offer?"

The steward hesitated for a moment before replying. "That was not it, Young Envoy. It is just that your current merits is only enough for any item on this shelf."

"Then how about if I spend my City Reputation Points?" asked Shin almost instantly.

The steward ask carefully. "How much did you want to spend?"

"All of it!!!" replied Shin without hesitation.

Then the steward guided Shin on another shelf. And the moment Shin arrived at that equipment shelf, his eyes were immediately attracted by a certain item on it displayed on it.
