Everyone's Class: One Effort, 10,000x Bonus Reward! - Chapter 391: Counting the Spoils After the Battle
“We can’t stay here for long. The commotion just now was too big. It might attract spies from other forces in the Abyss.”
Aiden quickly swept his eyes over the broken walls and ruins around them, then gave a cold order.
“Back to Winterhold.”
The three of them did not hesitate. They turned into three streaks of light and tore across the dark sky of the Abyss at incredible speed, heading straight for Winterhold.
Half a day later, at the Winterhold City Lord’s Mansion.
“Pass down my order. From this moment on, the entire city of Winterhold is under lockdown!”
As soon as Rainn stepped into the City Lord’s Mansion, she released the terrifying pressure of a level 90 Venerable without holding anything back.
Her vast Primordial Miko magic swept through the whole city like a great ocean, sealing off the ice-covered fortress completely.
“Anyone who enters within ten miles of the City Lord’s Mansion without permission will be killed without mercy!”
Her cold, murderous voice echoed above Winterhold. The spies from various forces who had been lurking restlessly in the city were instantly crushed by the Venerable pressure. They spat blood, their bodies trembling in fear.
Deep underground beneath the City Lord’s Mansion, inside the highest-level forbidden chamber.
Layer after layer of defensive magic arrays were fully activated, cutting off any chance of aura leaking out.
Aiden stood in the center of the secret chamber. A satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. With a casual wave of his hand, he poured out the storage ring he had seized, along with all the treasures they had brought out from the underground palace.
Boom!
With a deep, heavy sound, the entire spacious chamber was instantly drowned in brilliant treasure light.
It was a shocking amount of wealth, enough to bankrupt any great nation and drive countless Reclassers mad.
“This… this is way too much…”
Cheryl’s watery eyes opened wide, and even her breathing became quick.
There were forty-two pieces of Legendary Rank equipment in total, all shining with dazzling golden light. They were piled on the ground as casually as cabbages in a market.
Powerful law runes flowed across each piece, giving off a terrifying aura.
Beside them were three hundred and sixty Mythic Rank materials, each surrounded by a colorful mist.
As for the Epic Rank items—things that would have caused bloody fights in the outside world—there were simply too many to count. Now, they were scattered to the side like scrap metal.
But the most eye-catching things were still the three core treasures floating above the pile.
The Primordial Miko Crown, which gave off an ancient and majestic presence.
The Battle Miko Armor, filled with a fierce and bloody battle aura.
And the dark-gold scroll that recorded the truth about the merging of worlds and the final disaster.
“Put it on. This inheritance was always meant for you.”
Aiden pointed at the crown and looked calmly at Rainn.
Rainn took a deep breath and forced down the emotions rising in her heart. Then she reached out with both hands and solemnly placed the Primordial Miko Crown, the symbol of supreme power, on her head.
Buzz—!
The moment the crown touched her, a terrifying ancient aura burst out from Rainn’s body.
A brilliant pillar of light shot straight up to the ceiling of the secret chamber. At the center of Rainn’s smooth forehead, the mysterious slit fully opened.
The Eye of the Primordial Miko had completely awakened.
Within that deep eye, it was as if the birth and death of stars were being reflected. At that moment, Rainn’s entire presence changed completely. She was like a true god looking down on the ages.
“Cheryl, it’s your turn.”
Aiden turned to Cheryl. With a flick of his finger, the shining Battle Miko Armor instantly turned into a streak of light and wrapped around Cheryl’s graceful body.
Click, click, click!
The armor made a series of crisp locking sounds as it adjusted itself to fit Cheryl’s body perfectly.
A wave of absolute, bone-chilling ice law burst out from the armor, instantly freezing the walls of the secret chamber with a thick layer of deep-blue ice.
“My staff…”
Cheryl cried out in surprise.The ice crystal staff in her hand was already a high-tier weapon, but under the pull of the armor’s aura, it began to tremble violently.
One by one, the dim runes on the staff lit up. A lifelike frost dragon phantom coiled around the tip of the staff and roared.
In just a few breaths, the ice crystal staff resonated with the armor and broke through its original tier limit, completing an incredible evolution.
Feeling her combat power surge several times over, Cheryl trembled with excitement.
Aiden, however, turned his attention to the least noticeable part of the treasure pile—the thing he needed most.
It was a large pile of faintly glowing Force of Laws fragments, along with pure and flawless Inner Spirit fragments.
“As expected of the foundation of a supreme Miko. She even stored so many rare treasures that normally only appear in the Ancient Battlefield.”
A sharp light flashed in Aiden’s eyes. The magic power of a Legendary Rank Magic Apprentice turned into invisible hands and swept all the fragments into his system space.
With this huge amount of Inner Spirit fragments and law fragments, plus his 10,000x critical hit system, his soul strength would rise to an unprecedented level.
“Once I absorb all of these, I should be able to cross the level 99 threshold and touch that vague, unreachable divine lightning tribulation.”
Aiden calculated silently in his heart. Then, with a casual wave of his hand, he pushed more than a dozen suitable Legendary Rank items in front of the two women.
“Pick a few that suit you. I’ll take the rest.”
The two women did not act polite. They quickly chose the armor and accessories that suited them best.
Watching Aiden put away all the treasure in the room, a new ambition and determination flashed in Rainn’s beautiful eyes.
She suddenly dropped to one knee and lowered her head deeply, offering the young man before her her purest loyalty.
“Aiden, with these resources, and with my Venerable-level strength, I can take full control of Winterhold in the shortest possible time!”
Rainn’s voice was cold and firm, filled with unquestionable authority.
“I will build an unbreakable stronghold for you in the lower levels of the Abyss, and create an iron army that belongs only to you!”
Aiden looked down at the stunning woman who had awakened the Eye of Origin and gave a slight nod.
“Do as you see fit. If you run into an Emperor rank or Imperial rank problem you can’t handle, I’ll deal with it myself.”
His words sounded casual, but they carried absolute confidence—enough to shake the entire Abyss.
From this moment on, Rainn officially became Aiden’s first representative among the myriad races of the Abyss.
Cheryl watched the scene with slightly red eyes, but her smile was brighter than ever.
She tightly held her evolved ice crystal staff and felt the powerful Strength she had never had before.
“Finally… I finally don’t have to live like a rat in the sewers, hunted and bullied by those people anymore.”
…
The night was as dark as ink. Outside Winterhold, the snowstorm raged wildly, but inside the City Lord’s Mansion, everything was deathly silent.
Aiden sat cross-legged on the luxurious bed in the master bedroom. A faint dark-gold magical glow moved around his body.
Knock, knock, knock.
A very soft knock came from outside the door.
“Come in.”
Aiden did not even open his eyes. With a slight thought, his Legendary Rank Magic Mastery turned into an invisible hand, and the heavy sandalwood door opened silently on its own.
Rainn walked in alone.
She had taken off the city lord’s formal robes she wore during the day, the ones that symbolized power and battle. Now she wore a fitted black silk dress.
Although she had carefully held back the terrifying pressure of a level 90 Venerable, her awakened Primordial Miko Eyes still shone with a heart-stopping starlight in the dim room.
She walked to the bed without any hesitation and dropped heavily to one knee.
The movement was clean and decisive.
Rainn lowered her proud head and placed her right hand over the left side of her chest.
This was the oldest and most solemn gesture of submission among the myriad races of the Abyss.
“I, Rainn, the fifteenth Primordial Miko, swear my loyalty to you.”
Her voice was not loud, but it was firm and absolute.
“Without you, I would still be a broken exile, barely surviving in Winterhold.”
“Without you, I could never have broken the seal of the Supreme Temple, and I never would have had the chance to kill the Crow Miko with my own hands and take my revenge.”
“I will never forget this debt.”
“From this day on, my life, my soul, and everything I build will belong to you!”
Aiden slowly opened his eyes. Rainn’s beautiful face was reflected in his deep pupils.
He did not speak right away. He simply looked at this stunning woman who had just stepped onto the ladder of power in the Abyss.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze. The heavy pressure was so intense that even Rainn, a level 90 Venerable, felt her breathing slow.
A moment later, Aiden reached out, took Rainn by her fair arm, and pulled her to her feet.
“Remember what you said today.”
Aiden’s voice was calm, but it carried unquestionable authority.
“As long as you do not betray me, then in this Abyss myriad races rank, even if a Heavenly Demon descends, I will keep you and your sister safe.”
Rainn stood up and looked steadily at the unfathomable young human before her.
In her Eyes of Origin, which seemed able to see through everything, a rare and complicated emotion flashed.
It was awe. It was devotion. And mixed within it was a strange flutter of feeling that even she herself could not explain.
She gently bit her red lip and asked in a soft voice, “Aiden… what do you think of Cheryl?”
The question came suddenly, but there was a hidden meaning behind it.
Aiden raised an eyebrow slightly and met Rainn’s gaze without the slightest change in expression.
Of course, he understood what she was really asking, but he did not take the bait.
“Cheryl is a good girl. She has strong talent, and her heart is pure.”
Aiden gave a calm and flawless answer.
Rainn froze for a moment. Then a small, relieved smile appeared on her lips.
“I understand.”
She did not continue the topic. Instead, she gave a slight bow.
“It’s late. Please get some rest.”
With that, she turned and left the room, closing the door behind her.
The room fell silent again.
But less than half a minute later, Aiden sighed helplessly.
He flicked his finger, and a small burst of force shot out. The door that had just closed gave a soft click and opened a crack.
“Is hiding outside in the cold wind that fun? Get in here.”
