The flickering words in front announced Arthur's successful theft.

However, Arthur looked at the ancient ring in his hand, and surprise appeared in his eyes——

[Name: Abdul's Tribute]

[Type: Ring]

[Quality: Legend]

[Attributes: 1, Space; 2, Vitality; 3, Fire Affinity]

[Remarks: When Abdul, as a student, packed his bags, bid farewell to his teacher and friends, and embarked on his journey across the continent with a mix of apprehension and excitement, Hercules had already gained fame.

In response, Abdul wished his friend, who was both a mentor and friend, well and reminisced about the times they played beast chess together.

At the same time, he was more determined to find a path forward for 'Fire Control Technique'.

In the first year of leaving, Abdul went to the empire's warm south, where he saw a small fishing village called 'South Los' that was peaceful and joyful, and Abdul stayed there for 6 weeks.

In the second year, Abdul set forth towards the empire's north.

The cold winds and bandits made him increasingly resilient.

This journey lasted a full three years, during which Abdul's fire control technique became increasingly proficient but still without direction, until he received a letter from Hercules—why can't humans transform into flames?

That hint gave Abdul a thought.

He found not only the next step of thought.

But also the step after next.

At the same time, his alchemy also broke through.

To commemorate his friend, Abdul crafted this ring and inscribed a message on the inner band——My friend, your wisdom is unmatched.]

...

[Space: This is a space measuring 10m x 10m x 10m]

[Vitality: You still can't store truly living beings, but you can keep some objects lively]

[Fire Affinity: Abdul's insights into fire have unconsciously been added to it, by wearing this ring, you cannot be harmed by blaze]

(Annotation 1: Space cannot contain space items)

(Annotation 2: Fresh vegetables can stay fresh here forever)

(Annotation 3: Abdul's Tribute maintains consistently at 3.33g; currently holds 9 full sets of Parasitic Revival vessels, props, 300kg of gold, 10ml of Fountain of Youth, Elena's Compassion X1, Elena's Healing Scroll X3, Elena's Healing Potion X10, Snake Shadow Staff X1, Shadow Stab X1, Selderlon's Fist. Right Hand X1)

...

Arthur had never thought he would encounter the name Abdul at a time like this.

Regarding [Abdul's Pyrokinesis], Arthur had a deep impression.

However, Arthur hadn't expected this 'Abdul' would become a master, and his creativity far exceeded that of a regular master.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have endowed space equipment with the ability to maintain the vitality of stored items.

Understand that, even Lady Abel could only use [Constant Temperature] to maintain the potency of potions at its maximum, not this type of targeted approach.

As for the [Parasitic Revival] complete set with vessels and props stored inside?

Arthur wasn't surprised.

He 'witnessed' Little Lion's 'resurgence', and naturally guessed these items would be inside.

Or rather, he was inherently heading for these items.

Otherwise, he couldn't have procured these things in such a short time.

The 300 kilograms of gold within also allowed him to achieve [Parasitic Revival] in one go, with some still remaining.

The 10ml of Fountain of Youth was a pleasant surprise.

Arthur knew clearly he could enhance his secret technique [Distortion] as part of his learning agenda.

Concerning Elena's Compassion X1, Elena's Healing Scroll X3, Elena's Healing Potion X10?

When Little Lion began to deliberately reveal his trump card and used that [Elena's Compassion] scroll, Arthur had some suspicions.

[Elena's Healing] was less effective than [Elena's Compassion], but it was still sufficient to heal someone with a fatal wound.

[Elena's Healing Potion] was weaker by a margin but still a potent potion for treating severe injuries.

Other pleasant surprises included: [Snake Shadow Staff], [Shadow Stab], [Selderlon's Fist. Right Hand]!

The three props were all disposable items.

[Snake Shadow Staff] originated from the initial Serpent Sect and can summon a Third Order giant snake shadow lasting one minute to serve its user.

[Shadow Stab] is a long-lost tool with 'Shadowflow', capable of launching a Fourth Order attack using the power of shadows.

[Selderlon's Fist] was the power left by the Archbishop Selderlon from mid Holy Era. During the 'Shadow War', this Archbishop faced consecutive defeats but was still respected because he always charged ahead and covered the retreat for most people until he met Death.

This Archbishop injected his will into his two fist gauntlets before dying; Arthur has the right hand, capable of delivering a demigod blow filled with conviction.

Upon seeing these items, Arthur couldn't help but grin.

These could serve as trump card props, which is why he acted as Little Lion—the first heir to Inner Bay, who knows how many items unattainable by common people he could use as his trump card?

Thus, without confirming how many trump cards Little Lion had, Arthur absolutely wouldn't assume he already had victory in his grasp.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

If it weren't for utilizing the opponent's 'Prophetic Vision' and pulling one over them once, he might already be fleeing with his tail between his legs.

Of course, none of this really surprised Arthur.

The real surprise this time was [Abdul's Pyrokinesis]!

'Lv5 allows one to transform into flames?

Then what about Lv6?

Really makes one look forward to it!'

Arthur thought quietly to himself.

In the remarks, it's clear at a glance that Abdul didn't just advance his fire control technique from Lv4 to Lv5. Lv6 probably was advanced as well.

He might even achieve Lv7!

This was naturally great news to Arthur.

However, Arthur wasn't blinded.

He recalled everything he knew about 'Abdul'.

Aside from the secret technique [Abdul's Pyrokinesis], he knew very little about this name, but based on the opponent's talent and effort, elevating [Abdul's Pyrokinesis] to the height of Lv6 or Lv7 couldn't render him unnoticed.

Even without a title like 'Fierce Flame King', he should at least have a name like 'Fire Controller', right?

Yet why does he not?

'Did an accident occur?

Or...

'Shadow War'?'

Arthur pondered while turning his gaze toward another prop at hand.

It was stolen from Count Bet.

Previously, upon discovering Count Bet's 'Undying' wasn't a secret technique, Arthur promptly realized the Count was relying on a prop.

Thus, during the second theft attempt, Arthur chose to steal a prop.

But as for this prop, Arthur's surprise grew more dense.

There was even a touch of astonishment—

'There's actually such a thing?!'
