"How do you feel, Boss Cat?"

Lan Qi looked down at the motionless little black cat and asked.

It seemed to be caught in a storm of mental universes.

Compared to him and Hyperion, who had just reached the sixth tier and hadn't yet stepped into the transcendent and sanctified realm of the seventh tier, Boss Cat was the first of them to truly touch the eighth tier.

"...Meow meow meow? Am I really an eighth-tier divine beast?"

Boss Cat still couldn't believe the changes within itself.

Although its species determined that it was still so weak, it was indeed now an eighth tier, comparable to High Priest Loren and Annihilation Bishop Asksan!

"Indeed, I feel you've become much stronger."

Lan Qi nodded.

When Boss Cat was at the seventh tier, it already had the strength comparable to the fourth tier.

Now that it had reached the eighth tier, it could not be underestimated even among the fifth tier.

It could be said that it was currently the weakest combat power in their team.

Its mana bar wouldn't be completely used up after releasing [Roar of the Storm Dragon] once.

"Meow?"

Boss Cat looked up, watching Lan Qi's serious expression.

It always felt like Lan Qi was thinking about something very impolite!

Before it could question Lan Qi, it saw a new change.

[Reward Settlement: Dawn Storm (Eighth-Tier Epic Equipment Card), Kalierah's Shadow Weaving (First-Tier Epic Material), Demon Fusion (Sixth-Tier Epic Equipment Card), Her Golden Moment (First-Tier Epic Artwork), Gift (First-Tier Common Item).]

Soon, several light clusters, each surrounded by different colored auras, appeared before them like stars.

One of them floated towards Boss Cat, and the other four floated towards Lan Qi and Hyperion.

"Eighth-tier epic...?"

Boss Cat opened its mouth wide, gazing at its most dazzling orange light cluster.

It was the first time it had seen an eighth-tier magic card, or even a natural epic card!

Eighth-tier magic cards rarely appeared in auctions, even in the Southern Continent Card Maker Association.

As for natural magic cards, they often contained magical principles related to the Shadow World challenge that did not belong to the current era, so most of them had a higher value than man-made cards of the same quality and tier.

Of course, this was definitely related to their final SSS-level settlement in the seventh-tier Shadow World. If it was a B-level or A-level rating, it would be good to get a rare quality natural magic card.

"Boss Cat, what are the attributes?"

Lan Qi and Hyperion also looked at Boss Cat, looking at the legendary eighth-tier epic.

Even if it was encapsulated, only the eighth-tier Boss Cat could identify its attributes.

As Boss Cat tremblingly raised its paw and gently touched the light cluster, a necklace made mainly of a rare metal with an orange luster appeared on its paw.

[Dawn Storm]

[Category: Equipment Card]

[Grade: Orange Epic]

[Tier: 8]

[Effect: Can be triggered when releasing wind magic, consumes mana to create an additional absolute immunity field, can be triggered up to three times every twenty-four hours.]

[Note: The gale of dawn covered the helpless reason in the dark snowy field, sweeping the faith called light to every witness.]

"This metal... can only be found in specific veins on Nicalis Island. The refining process is even more complex. The small amount of finished product obtained is both hard and light, but I don't have the ability to forge it."

Lan Qi looked at the necklace and quickly recognized its material.

The surface of the metal was as delicate as a mirror, refracting the soft light of the first rays of morning sun. The engraved incantations seemed to be writing about dawn and rebirth.

The irregularly shaped gems inlaid at the joints changed color with the light, gradually changing from deep orange to bright sky blue, just like the unpredictable sky.

"This wind-attribute epic is a bit similar to the [Wind Phantom] made by Senior Kallen from the Yaroran Kingdom's academic visiting team last time?"

Hyperion recalled.

Back then, after observing Dean Loren's original stone slab wind, Kallen, a gold-level card maker from the Yaroran Kingdom Academy, made a fourth-tier sacred wind magic card. The effect was that if there was a possibility of evasion, she would gain a chance of extreme evasion every twenty seconds, consuming mana when triggering the extreme evasion.

Hyperion had a deep impression of that card for only one reason—it was also at that time that Lan Qi made the source of all evil, the counterfeit stone slab wind.

"Meow meow meow, is it very powerful?"

Boss Cat, as a layman, listened to Hyperion and Lan Qi discussing this magic card, and its heart was about to jump out.

"I'm afraid even Dean Loren doesn't have such wind-attribute spells and props."

Lan Qi seriously evaluated, holding his chin.

This [Dawn Storm] is also a wind-attribute protective magic card, but it is completely different from [Wind Phantom].

"Meow meow meow~ Meow meow meow~"

Boss Cat heard Lan Qi's high evaluation as a platinum-level card maker, and happily sang and spun around. It was not used to the necklace, so it wrapped the necklace a few times and turned it into a beautiful bracelet, which was tied to its left paw.

Lan Qi smiled with relief when he saw Boss Cat happy.

Boss Cat was about to go from imitating Loren to surpassing Loren.

When it goes to the Kreiti Empire in the south and uses [Dawn Storm], the Annihilation Bishop Ivanos will only say "How can High Priest Loren still hide such a skill?", "Can't I even break through his immunity field?", "Loren, to what extent are you going to underestimate me!"

Now Dean Loren's deterrent power will also be improved. His opponents will feel unprecedented despair when they can't break through his three life-saving abilities even after desperately fighting him in the future.

"What about you two?"

Boss Cat jumped to Lan Qi's shoulder, looking at the light clusters in front of him and Hyperion.

The two of them were sitting on the steps of the Starry Sky Square, not panicking in the face of the epic-level rewards.

Obviously, they had the calm attitude that only veterans who had challenged the Shadow World several times had.

"Uh, this painting?"

Hyperion saw that one of the light clusters was in the shape of a picture frame, and she knew it was the portrait Lan Qi painted for her in the Shadow World.

However, the ownership of this painting belonged to Lan Qi, and it should be left to him to dispose of.

"If you're willing, you can hang it in the Duke's Mansion."

Lan Qi smiled at her and responded.

"Woo... then I'll accept it."

Hyperion hesitated for a while, then nodded vigorously and whispered.

"Thank you, Lan Qi, I will cherish it."

She added.

When her father returned one day, he would definitely be surprised to see such a treasure in the house.

Hyperion raised her eyes slightly and glanced at the other equipment card.

It seemed to be a pair of black metal earrings, like those extracted from the ancient Purgatory Abyss of the Demon Realm. It absorbed and reflected the weakest bands of surrounding light, showing unstable hues from deep red to dark purple under different starlight.

The metal surface was covered with a thin layer of gleaming demonic runes. The two earrings were asymmetrical, one main and one auxiliary. One side was a sharp, tooth-like metal barb, like a demon horn; the other side was a slender, gracefully curved shape, as if it were a demon's tail.

[Demon Fusion]

[Category: Equipment Card]

[Grade: Orange Epic]

[Tier: 6]

[Effect: Give the other half of the earring to a demon of the same gender. You can fuse with the other party, taking yourself as the main body, and obtain all the other party's magic. The equipment has a cooldown time of 30 days. If you only give it to the other party without wearing it, you can test the compatibility between the two parties. The fusion degree (0% to 100%) is determined according to the magic compatibility and bloodline compatibility between the two parties. After fusion, the basic attributes are the sum of the attributes of both parties, multiplied by the fusion degree. The shortest separation time after fusion is 30 days multiplied by the fusion degree.]

[Note: Only the royal family who rules the demons is worthy of wearing it.]

"This pair of earrings..."

Hyperion always felt that this pair of earrings was weird.

"If I use it, I'm afraid the compatibility won't be very high, because I'm a half-demon... with an impure bloodline by birth."

Hyperion did not immediately bind this card. Once the epic card was bound, it could not be unequipped in this lifetime.

For example, Lan Qi's demon curse could not turn her into a summon because she was not a pure demon, and the half of her human blood prevented the spell from working smoothly.

"This is limited to demon kings."

Lan Qi looked at this epic equipment card.

His personal contribution in the Shadow World was already very full. If he continued to farm, it would only be the limit that the seventh-tier Shadow World could provide, so he had planned from the beginning to distribute the contribution to Hyperion and Boss Cat.

However, the achievement content related to Hyperion's contribution was not necessarily completely related to Hyperion herself, which led to the final reward not necessarily being very suitable for Hyperion.

For demons, especially demon kings, it would be an extremely powerful piece of equipment.

However, Hyperion happened to be a half-blooded demon princess.

Lan Qi himself was of human blood, and his compatibility with demons would probably be zero if he took this card.

"It's okay, I have a plan for this card."

Hyperion thought for a while and took the pair of earrings in her hand.

It just so happened that Tata's birthday was coming up, and she had always wanted to give Tata a gift that money couldn't buy, to thank her for taking care of her all this time.

And Tata herself was a card maker who could make epic cards, so maybe one day she would help her make a more suitable epic card for herself.

Finally, only Lan Qi's two light clusters were left in front of the three of them.

Let's put aside that white common-grade light cluster first.

Lan Qi still got materials this time.

However, the color of its light cluster was more unusual than ordinary orange, and it was much deeper.

Until Lan Qi held the light cluster, when the light dissipated, it turned into a gem.

[Kalierah's Shadow Weaving]

[Category: Magic Item]

[Grade: Scarlet Epic]

[Tier: 1]

[Effect: A gem notebook treasured by the Great Demon Kalierah, can be used as the highest-level illusion or mental material.]

[Note: The only regret in the life of the Fallen Lord is witnessing his friend, the Son of the Sun, unable to realize his beautiful dream even in the Gentle Township. Everything recorded in "Shadow Weaving," from forever to forever, will not be repeated, because the creature destined to endure this loneliness will not have a second chance to appear on this earth.]

The polyhedral jewel felt cold to the touch, and each facet seemed to have been carefully carved by Kalierah himself. The light blue tone of the gem also had a slight gradient, gradually becoming more elegant from the center to the edge, like a shallow beach in the ocean, shimmering.

"Scarlet Epic?"

Hyperion frowned.

Epics are generally orange.

Only epics like the original stone slab would be stained with some scarlet, and the epic cards made by her father also had those masterpieces stained with scarlet, but they were all small amounts of color.

It was the first time she had seen an epic material called scarlet.

"It's over the top."

Lan Qi shook his head.

He had never seen this material either.

Tata at that age might not have seen it.

But when he thought about it being related to the ninth-tier Great Demon Kalierah, he felt that it was not a big problem. Kalierah herself was a creature who had already reached the peak.

"If the epic completely fades away from orange and transforms into scarlet, will it become a new grade?"

Boss Cat looked at the jewel in Lan Qi's hand and asked.

"I don't know."

According to Lan Qi's understanding, in the literature of the Southern Continent Card Maker Association in the past hundred years, although there are few records about scarlet light, there are only uncertain legends about "red."

"I feel that there is a lot of Gentle Township's barrier magic power in this Kalierah's jewel."

Lan Qi muttered, holding the jewel in his hand and immersing himself in thought.

For him, who had experienced the Great Demon's trial and the truly fallen Gentle Township, he was already very familiar with Kalierah's aura.

"But your illusion affinity is not high, right?"

Hyperion asked.

"My mental affinity is okay, and I can't make this prop into a magic card by myself. I have to find a big-shot card maker to be the main force, and I'll be the assistant."

Lan Qi thought for a while, this material might be made into the noblest spell card.

As of now, he has not seen any epics of the spell card category.

Spell cards do not have the long cooldown time of equipment cards, nor do they have the weakness of summons that are easily killed. Once bound, they are your own magic.

"Big-shot card maker..."

Hyperion said to herself after hearing this.

If you want to make a mental card, in addition to the assistant Lan Qi needing to be a mental type, the main card maker must also be good at mental type.

They really have such a card maker around them!

It's just that Talia may not have collaborated with Lan Qi to make cards for a long time.

According to Hyperion's hearsay, in the very beginning, Lan Qi and Talia would still respect each other.

But now Hyperion always felt that the two of them might cause a farce just by chatting, feeling like they were destined enemies who were incompatible.

I don't know if they will cause any more trouble when they concentrate their minds and work together to make cards now.

"By the way, meow, why is there also a first-tier common item [Gift]?"

Boss Cat looked up at the inconspicuous light cluster.

If it weren't for the fact that it remembered that there were five rewards this time, it would have been ready to pack up and go back to the Boss Cat Restaurant.

"That's right."

Lan Qi was also puzzled.

He had never seen a white common quality Shadow World reward since he debuted and challenged the Shadow World.

Until he reached out and touched the light cluster.

Suddenly, with a bang, a sofa landed on the steps in front of them.

The two people and one cat stared blankly at the sofa for a long time.
