[ Congratulation, Host! your energy level has increased after copying Kurodos and Zephyr's abilities.

Blue, Grade Silver > Purple, Grade Silver ]

"System, I've increased one level after copying Phoenix Empress's abilities," Yun observed, his voice laced with a hint of curiosity. "But even after copying the abilities of both Kurodos and Zephyr, my level increased only by one, not two."

The System's response was enlightening. [ Host, although both Kurodos and Zephyr are extremely powerful, your energy level requires more substantial growth to reach the next level. The progression becomes more challenging as you advance. ]

Yun nodded, comprehension dawning on him, "Ok, I understand." With a deep breath, he steeled himself for the journey ahead, his determination to find the Dragon King burning brighter than ever.

50 Years Later

Fifty years had passed since Yun's quest began, and yet, the whereabouts of the Dragon King remained a mystery. He had amassed the treasures of all the THGs marked on the THM, but the ultimate prize eluded him. Yun had scoured every corner of the earth, leaving no stone unturned, no inch of land, sky, or sea unexplored. Still, he refused to surrender.
