Picking up the 3 rings, I rearranged all the rings I've collected. Starting from the left, there was the fiery orange ring of wrath, deep purple ring of greed, Light purple ring of Lust, gold ring of pride and the black ring of speed.

Unlike normal items. These 'sin' s and 'authorities' didn't follow the normal colour to tier rule and have colours that differ from the tier 1-5 chart. On my right hand was the deep green ring of primal nature, black ring of death authority, black ring of abyss, gold ring of conquest authority. What I observed from surtor was that they all glow with a black aura when activated, so their inactive look was just for aesthetic purposes. Done with my rings, the king spoke up.

"Once your'e done, go to the church. You're level 1000 right? Your class should have evolved. After getting your new class, you should come to the throne for a meeting. I'll also bring the royal guards." (Bavner)

The royal guards, they were a unit of handpicked level 900s, chosen by the king huh~

" Just saying this now, they are definitely weaker than you, so don't bother picking a fight. In fact, we don't have a time for a fight. I'm already letting you relax and didn't rush you to the royal church, but you shouldn't take time for granted." (Bavner)

" But I can just rewind time? "

" Then our enemies will think we are attacking, when they see that we are not prepared, we will be crushed instead."(Houzo)

" Got it, then,see you later. "

Using [Teleport-tier 5], I manifested outside the church. Walking in, the same priest were there to see me again. Were they short on manpower? Well, that is not my problem. Walking in, the priest put in the ancient coins to activate the altar before I even spoke. No words needed? That is fine as well. Walking closer to the altar, an intense black light struck the centre of the altar.

It triggered their senses, forcing the 2 priest on each side of the altar to run away and take their distance near the entrance. They still had to duty to watch over the altar so they didn't evacuate just yet. The black light instantly expands to cover the church in a cylindrical shape. In the centre of the area struck was me.

Yes/no

The light was emitting slight pressure, pressing me down a little.but I could still feel it. If not for my infinite vitality, the pressure would have pushed down anyone below level 1000. If you were impatient and wanted to evolve your class right after you acquired it, you would die from the pressure itself. That's what the priest were for. They obvioisly can't withstand the pressure since they are only level 700, but they evacuate the rest of the people visitting the church. That is why there always a distance kept between the one currently using the altar and the next one in line. Obviously, I want to evolve it, the [Yes] button was clicked. Who doesn't want to get stronger? Sure it doesn't solve all your problems, but it doesn't cost anything to grow tougher.

The black light condensed into centre, into me. Until it completely disappeared. Though, I could feel a physical feeling of change.

With all that sorted, I should go to the throne now. "[Teleport]". Showing up, the king wasn't on his throne. There was a letter on the ground. Picking up the letter, my name was addressed on it.

' If you can't find us, Houzo will teleport you here when time's up. If not, I belive you can find us and teleport yourself to the secret room'

Did he predict that I would get [Clairvoyance]? Searching for them with the skill, I caught their presence under the kitchen of the royal palace that I was in. Walking over to the kitchen, I felt the mana in the air around me to search for any hidden mechanisms. There! In a cabinet that was next to the sink, I felt a dense clump of mana on the ceiling of the cabinet. Looking closer, it was a teleportation circle that somehow optimised and shrunk to a size that fits my palm. Placing my palm on it, I teleported to a dark place below the kitchen.

It was the opposite of the bright corridor leading to the throne. It was endless darkness except that there was a sliver of light at the end that made it seem like a corridor. Too bad, I couldn't be tricked by the darkness. Using [Teleport] I made it in one piece over a fall trap hidden by the darkness. I could also feel multitudes of magic circles under the floor. That's right, they were under the floor. They acted like plates, when weight was applied on the floor above, they get triggered and send a trap on the intruder.

Walking through, more and more light entered my vision and I couldn't believe what I saw...

It was a very surreal view. There was a large television screen at the opposite end of the room and a large circular table in the middle. The king was sat at the end, the nearest to the television screen with what looked like a rectangular console on his hand. Houzo was standing next to him as usual. The table was surrounded by the generals of his kingdom, the great generals of Ilnoa. A butler figure came out of the corner and ushered me to my sit which was at the opposite en dof the king.
