Immediately he said this the entire room went silent as everyone knitted their brows to listen to HQs new orders .

" they've come to the conclusion that the city can not be viewed as a priority right now. There's still a lot to do on Galafray, a lot of strongholds are still yet to fall" Darth explained watching the looks on the face of all in the room grow grim.

HQ was going to abandon them just like that? That was too much.

"However, they still care so information on how to stop the city from further advancing has been made available to all in form of a mission. Its is being uploaded to you HUDs as we speak" Darth said as a series of beeping downs covered the room with a mission titled.

[Break The Core Runes of Rune city]

[Reward: A supreme star seed of any rank]

Staring at the screen with the mission everyone's expression went from dissatisfied to immediately greedy and giddy.

It was clear, break the core and have a chance to undergo a voyage, effectively increasing by one whole rank. That was mouth watering to anyone especially with the grade supreme.

Star seeds were typically graded into several categories depending on how long they've been active and how they were born. For the most recent seeds, the types that existed in great houses and could be bought those were terms as common star seeds.

They would throw a weaver who absorbed its light into a predetermined voyage senerio allowing them to solve the problem in their own unique way.

The second grade was Wild star seed.

It typically would send one into a random voyage senerio with difficulty at a acceptable range, 50% chance of survival typically and was usually saved for extreme talents in any organization.

Above that was this

A supreme star seed

30% survival rate, completely unknown random voyage with danger levels flaunting. It was dangerous but also extremely beneficial giving skills and the opportunity to received a great benefits and legendary avatars.

An organization would never give this out to someone whom they didn't trust especially at this point in their development.

It showed how desperate they were to solve this matter.

'It's says any rank….does that mean they have a supreme star seed of the Demi god rank?'

Enzo thought to himself a myriad of things going through his mind. If this was general, did it mean that more people would be storming into rune city in the near future?

After all, who wouldn't jump at the chance to scale up by a whole rank? Did he need to act fast? Or should he watch the situation closely and determine if it was safe to act?

"The core should be in the dark part of the city, who's going to take such a risk?" Someone suddenly spoke out a frown on his face.

Clearly the core wasn't in this part of the city, if not the holy weavers would have long since attacked it and freeed him. It was definitely at the other side.

"I don't know, I'm just here to convey the wishes of the grand regent" Darth frowned clearly understanding those words.

"There's going to be a small supply ship following the city after tomorrow, you can request for assistance from it by exchanging echos and treasures. The clamdora will do all it can to furfill your wishes"

The higher ups were feeling very guilty about their inability to help them right now, so it was best to milk this for as much as they could.

Once everything was done, they would exit this hell stronger men than they were when they first entered.

The meeting quickly wrapped up and Enzo and the rest went upstairs and locked the door behind them.

Their room contained 10 individuals, these included Enzo, Raven, Zeke and Zhou, the other guys from the outer institute weren't allowed in rune city.

As for their other roommates,

"Enzo my boy, what do you think about that whole core lulabu? Would you like to become exalted ?" Titus smiled grasping Enzo's shoulder and pulling him in.

Right now, everyone else was forming Aliances, they house snowfall were no longer the top dogs of the game. With cloaked shade and their myriad factions, the true powers had been solidified.

"Yeah, but not right now" Enzo smiled then shook his head.

Titus and his friends were club leaders, they couldn't subordinate themselves to cloaked shade members so they were trying to recruit as many people they could to strengthen their position.

Unfortunately, no one wanted to join the losing side.

"Ahh, I understand. Just let me know" Titus smiled as he walked to what seemed to be bunk bed and curled up inside of it.

He knew more than anything how special Enzo was, having him on their team would be a god sent. But too much pressure woukd drive him away.

This was not the past where he had nowhere to go, if he joined a factions of cloaked shade in this dire straits it would be a big problem.

"Sure" Enzo walked to his own corner and sat while Zeke climbed to the bunk above him.

Soon enough a notification appeared in Enzo's hud causing him to smirk.

It read

[I see that look on your face, you're planning to do something stupid. I'm in like a degenerate looking for a high. This place is always so boring]

It was from Zeke

He knew that dispite Enzo's calm and cautious demeanor, the kid was a greedy bastard that loved thrill. The moment that mission was published Enzo had started planning how to throw himself in the middle of it.

He wanted in

He couldn't let Enzo have all the fun.

[Patience, I'm still working out some kinks]

Enzo replied and quickly went to bed.

Hours later

"Haaa" Enzo woke up in a cold breath the room covered in darkness.

It was the 7th night.

Looking around Enzo smirked at the closed eyes as they all seemed to be in deep slumber. Truth was, half of them were wide awake, all clenching weapons in their sleep.

Enzo didn't pay them any mind and he stood up and walked out of the room heading straight down the hall way. His shadow appearing in each door way until he finally disappeared.

Outside

"Roar!!!"

Ancient beasts prowled their vicious glares bruning the darkness as a cacophony of chaos spread throughout the city.

Not just humans were targets, beasts preyed on their own kind, blood and slaughter all over the place.

"They are fighting hard" Enzo sighed

This was his fourth 7th night and each time he had almost died, but the benefits of this night was too much for him to ignore by staying in doors.

They were echos to be hard, battles he could use to his advantage and kill preys gaining not just starlight but also time.

But most of all.

Woosh

Enzo faded into a shadow and jumped through several areas crossing the long stretch of the city in 40 minutes before landing at the outskirts of the dark city area.

There he stopped on a street with a small inconspicuous cathedral. Taking in a large breath, Enzo walked forward in tempered strides m and went straight to the cathedral doors and pushed it open.

"Four isle gems my ass, I wouldn't pay a single shitcoin for that rusty heap on trash"

"Suck my genitals you old hag, this is a holy place"

"I fucking hate you lot"

The sounds of rowdy men echoed in the hall, languages as old as the universe came back to life and so did those who spoke it.

On the 7th night of Galafrays cycles, in Rune city, ghosts of the past came to life and the engaged in a trade of knowledge of power.

"Good day creature of the dark, would you like to trade?" As Enzo walked into the cathedral a young man with an Ax in his head stepped forward and called his attention.

Night creature

One of the creatures of yore and the undead, they could communicate with those difting in the line between life and death but only in certain circumstances.

It was on his second night here Enzo started hearing echos of old drawing him toward these gatherings.

"I'm looking for knowledge" Enzo spoke calmly with a smile on his face.

Enzo's main purpose for coming here was to gain knowledge of Galafray, it would help in understanding what happened in Galafray in turn what happened to Victoria and nibbleskin.

"Knowledge, I have that, but what do you have to trade ?" The ghost spoke leading Enzo to a table far away on the side.

There he sat down and grabbed two cups of what seemed to be rum.

"More for me night creature" the ghost smirked then gulped down both cups knowing full well that Enzo would not be able to drink it.

"So tell me what would you like to trade with and what knowledge do you want?" The ghost looked to Enzo with intrigue.
