2 days had passed and Dan had had finished creating everything he needed using souls. He used a combined total of 700 souls to create slippers, shoes, cloak and several daggers.
After trying to upgrade his sword a fourth time a notification appeared.
➡️ Unable to upgrade.
➡️ Max level of upgrades reached
"Wow, of course you had to take the joy out of it." Dan sighed. He felt like he was going berserk. Every time he discovered something nice or a loophole to something that he could abuse the system just had to ruin it for him. If he ever met the system in a normal physical form he swore he would fight it.
"Well, I'm gonna go and start a massacre to let of some steam."

In the palace Hilfgan was kneeling before the king and queen.
"Is this the horror of the abyss that you were speaking of?" the king said in a pompous voice as he bit into a giant piece of fowl meat.
"No your majesty, it is not." Hilfgan replied. "This is something else, the horror from the abyss will appear much later."
"If it is not then what is it?" the queen asked.
"I do not know."
"What makes you think that is not the horror from the abyss?"
"Several reasons your majesty, the first reason being the time is too soon, the second is, in the prophecy the horror from the abyss uses flames brighter than the sun and whoever or whatever it is that is behind this is not using flames. It gives me reason to think that it is a disease."
"What kind of disease kills over 700 elfs within a matter of three days?"
"I do not know your majesty."
"Do you see anything in the future?"
"No your majesty."
"You are free to go." The queen said as she waved her hand.
Hilfgan nodded, prostrated and walked away backwards not showing her back to the king and queen.
"Do you trust her judgment?" the queen asked her husband.
"Why would I not? She has proven herself time and time again, maybe it is a plague of some kind." her husband replied.
The queen thought for a while. It was true that Hilfgan has never been wrong but that was worrying. What if this was her first being wrong?
"Very well then, I'll announce a state of emergency and tell everyone to quarantine until we find out what is going on."
As soon as Hilfgan stepped out of the kings court her expression changed. It was that of bewilderment and fury. She did not know what was causing all this but whatever it was it was in the way of her plans of taking over this country for her Minna.
Hilfgan was one of Minna's most trusted aides and he trusted her with taking over this country. There were lots of benefits of taking over this country. It would be a safe trading route for all of their merchandise. They could use this country as a storage or as a base. The benefits were truly great but in order to reap what she sowed for years she had to take care of this problem.
BOOOOOM!
The sound of a giant explosion nearly split her eardrums. As Hilgan looked out of the corridor Windows she could not believe what she saw.
A giant wall of fire reaching the size of a mansion was seen. For a few seconds Hilgan could not hear nothing.
Everything was silent. It was as if the entire country just clamped their mouth shut. That included animals of all kind.
Giant flocks of birds including crows, doves, and night birds such as owls sapproximately 100,000 strong took the skies cawing, shrieking and fluttering their wings to get away. The rats and all types of rodents burrowed themselves deeper into the ground out of fear.
The once serene bustling city was now filled with cries and shouts of people and only one person was not affected and enjoying it. Who could this mysterious person be?
Dan?
DING DING DING!

The hero of blink was simply resting under a tree with the small child sleeping on top of him surrounded by all the other girls except for Sylvie who was meditating under a waterfall.
The hero woke up all of a sudden with a jolt throwing the small girl of him and startling the other woman.
"Ouch, that really hurt." the small girl said.
"I'm sorry about that Medusa but we have to go instantly now. Pearl, Enfor go get Sylvie, this is an emergency we are leaving."
"What happened?" the winged lady named Pearl asked.
"I do not have time to explain, I will go wake up the couch driver and the other guy."
The hero stood up and walked of in a hurry and went to the caravan. He told the man to ready the horses and after 10 minutes everything was ready.
"Pearl charge me up, we are going to teleport again."
Pearl asked no questions and put her hands forward above the hero and started chanting. The hero glowed a bright yellow light. He also started chanting and within a blink the carriage disappeared completely. All that was left was the sand kicked up from the ground.
"The city is 8 hours by carriage, I should be able to make it there within 3 hours but if I use teleport every once in a while I can get there on 2 hours." The hero said. He stepped out of the moving carriage and ran past the horse towards the direction of the elven country.
"What did you see?" A voice asked him. He looked to his left to see Sylvie running next to him. Of course she was the only person keeping up with him.
"Huh?"
"What did you see in your out of body experi- you know what forget it, for you to just run away in a hurry must mean that the opponent is a strong person. I can't wait to fight them."
"You will not fight Sylvie, he is too strong for you. I'm not sure how strong because I haven't seen him use his full strength but his aura alone tells me he is someone to not be trifled with."
"Where would you put him on the kravonian table after seeing his aura only?"
The hero stayed silent for quite a while and ran before speaking. "I would say higher end A+."
