In the alleys paved with steel and rock.
Barkin led Tuck forward while whispering.
“Brother Andre, this underground treasure hunt is extremely crucial.”
“For this operation, there are six dwarves and their guardians in total.”
“If we can bring back even a part of the treasure, then I can secure a seat on the Dwarf Clan Council.”
“You know, there are only eleven seats on the Family Council.”
“The powers of our family councilors are quite substantial.”
“With my Level and forging skills, I would have no chance at such a seat.”
“However, due to the sale of those Perfect Elite Materials within the clan over the past half year in cooperation with Brother Andre…”
“I now have the opportunity to become a member of the council.”
“Brother Andre, aren’t you already at the Third Rank?”
At this point, Barkin, who was leading the way, cautiously looked behind to make sure no one was there before he carefully continued.
“After becoming a councilor, the privileges are significant. If there’s anything you need, Brother Andre, I can certainly arrange to trade some things from the Dwarf Clan’s treasury with you.”
Tuck slightly raised an eyebrow.
“Can you really do that?”
“Of course!” Barkin nodded.
“Using the resources from the treasury, that’s a councilor’s privilege.”
“Otherwise, why would clan members vie for a councilor’s seat?”
“Overall, the Dwarf Clan has a lot of good stuff.”
“Of course, Brother Andre, you’ll need enough Magic Gold for it to work.”
Tuck thought for a moment before staring at Barkin and laughing.
“I didn’t expect you to start tempting me with grand promises.”
“Don’t worry, regardless of the whole clan seat issue, I will protect you on this trip,” Tuck said calmly.
“Ha ha… with your word, Brother Andre, I can rest easy, especially since this trip is indeed somewhat dangerous.”
“Indeed!”
Tuck nodded. The location they were heading to was deep within the underground world.
There lay sealed areas, and perfectly enclosed “Boundary Worlds.”
These places posed a threat to Tuck as well.
Of course, the attributes of a Transcendent ecosystem posed the same risks to everyone, not just Tuck alone.
Passing through the jungle of buildings cast from steel and stone.
A magnificent cluster of buildings, almost carved out of the rock walls, came into Tuck’s view.
The Dwarf Clan Council had arrived.
Barkin submitted identification, and after confirmation by the guard, the magical gate barrier was opened.
Just as Barkin entered the outer courtyard of the clan group of buildings.
Tuck frowned slightly and surveyed his surroundings.
The next moment, Shadow Tentacles burst forth from behind Tuck, enveloping Barkin within them.
Almost simultaneously, seven or eight massive Shadow Tentacles emerged from the fountain, rockery, flower beds, bamboo groves, and from the top of walls, all striking downward at the same time.
“Boom…”
The Shadow Tentacles, as thick as the mouth of a bowl, possessed great strength, and the ground where Tuck and Barkin stood was shattered instantly.
Meanwhile, Tuck had already performed “Shadow Walk” with Barkin to another corner.
As soon as Tuck and Barkin landed,
Five or six Shadow Rogues leaped from the shadows of Tuck’s landing spot.
Their Shadow Blades, sharp enough to slice through the air, hacked down at Tuck and Barkin.
These were no mere illusions of Shadow, but genuine “Shadow Rogues,” a kind of witchcraft.
They could not only cut through the flesh of a Transcendent but even sever souls.
Not even a Fourth Rank Transcendent could withstand them.
And with the Shadow Rogues’ fierce onslaught, there was no time for last-minute spells.
Luckily, Tuck possessed an Ecosystem Magic Net and held several witchcrafts at the ready.
Tuck clenched his left hand slightly, and the power of the Bright Flame Ring Staff unfolded.
“Hum!”
The rich Holy Light Healing Magic descended like a golden pillar of light.
It not only enshrouded Tuck and Barkin but also collided with the five or six Shadow Rogues within the golden healing light.
For Shadow, Darkness, and Death, Holy Light is the optimal counter.
Moreover, Tuck’s Healing Holy Light was Level 39.
This is where the benefit of Tuck’s high skill level became apparent.
A high witchcraft level combined with a Ring Staff in a Bright Flame state made the Healing Holy Light’s lethality against Darkness exceptionally strong.
The Shadow Rogues, around Level 40, entered the Healing Holy Light and melted rapidly like snowflakes in a blazing furnace.
At the same time, a Fire Oil Bullet flew out from the center of the Healing Holy Light pillar.
Tuck’s defense and counterattack were executed in one smooth motion.
“Bang!”
The Fire Oil Bullet exploded on a nearby stone pillar.
Seven or eight shadow clusters simultaneously leapt out from within the stone pillar.
Tuck had not entered the heightened vision state, and for a moment, he also failed to differentiate which of these seven or eight shadow clusters was the real body.
Perhaps, each of these shadow clusters was the real body.
Equipped with techniques as formidable as the Soul Shadow, this Fifth Rank Steam Shadow Wizard “Bervis Twain” naturally possessed powerful methods as well.
Watching the shadow clusters scatter in all directions.
Tuck did not continue to pursue.
Rather, he slowly dissipated the continuously descending Healing Holy Light.
Not far away, one shadow cluster slowly opened up, forming a Shadow Door.
A Shadow Wizard with a burly figure, bright eyes, sharp facial features, and clad in a ring-patterned Shadow Mage Robe, stepped out slowly from within.
This person was indeed the Fifth Rank Transcendent Warrior, the Steam Shadow Wizard “Bervis Twain,” previously mentioned by Barkin.
There was the substantial backing of the Dwarf Clan.
Plus, Bervis Twain himself was an existence with exceptionally strong talents.
The Fifth Rank Bervis Twain was a Steam Shadow Wizard with four Steam Cores.
Similar merchant groups would always have such formidable Transcendents as their support.
Otherwise, they would have been completely devoured by their competitors long ago.
In the Transcendent World where supernatural powers prevailed, the scale of commerce often correlated directly with the strength of the Transcendents behind it.
“What’s your name?”
Bervis Twain, scrutinizing Tuck, asked slowly.
Tuck removed his hood and placed one hand in front of him, slightly bowing as he responded.
“Andre.”
“Andre? You’re Andre?”
Bervis Twain raised an eyebrow, while simultaneously looking toward Barkin.
Barkin hastily nodded in response.
“Yes, he is the Andre.”
Immediately, a slight smile of appraisal appeared on the firm visage of Bervis Twain as he looked at Tuck.
“Not bad, you’re quite skilled.”
“Most Wizards would probably not even realize there was an ambush nearby before entering.”
“Just hours ago, the Fourth Rank practitioner brought by Kagura did not pass the test.”
“You did well, not only did you react quickly, but you also counterattacked swiftly.”
“Your level of witchcraft is high, that Fire has significant deterrent power.”
“That Healing Holy Light is also very impressive.”
“Most Fourth Rank Wizards don’t have skill levels like yours.”
“Additionally, to have mastery over both Light and Dark Elements—there are not many Wizards left today capable of such feats.”
In his words, this Steam Shadow Wizard named Bervis Twain seemed to hold considerable admiration for Tuck.
“You… have passed the assessment.”
Upon these words from the Fifth Rank Steam Shadow Wizard before him.
Barkin, who had been anxious on the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had brought Tuck for an assessment, not expecting it to erupt so abruptly.
And it concluded just as quickly.
The confrontation between Andre and the Fifth Rank Wizard was brief, encompassing only two or three exchanges of witchcraft.
But once engaged, it was clear they both recognized the other as a skilled adversary, not merely a poseur with only a rank to show.
Since the goal of the assessment was achieved, there was no need to continue the skirmish.
“Come over tomorrow for assembly; at that time, I’ll hand out the mission assignments and conduct a certain level of rehearsal.”
“After all, you’re only Third Rank, not like those Fourth Rank individuals with a Transcendent State that can easily navigate the Spirit Realm Layer.”
Gazing at Tuck, Bervis Twain instructed.
“Understood!”
Tuck nodded his acknowledgment.
Lower ranks also come with their benefits.
At the very least, for this upcoming underground expedition, Tuck would not become the primary target of enemy warriors.

…
Half an hour later, Tuck followed Barkin back to his shop once again.
Barkin immediately began crafting the Magical Ring.
Compared to the Wizardry Ring Stick with various abilities and methods,
this purely sturdy and durable “Magical Ring Staff” was much easier to forge.
More material, vigorous hammering.
The harder the hammering, the greater the strength of the resulting Magical Ring Staff.
A few hours later, Tuck left with a Magical Ring Staff forged with Space Runes and Dragon Scale, feeling thoroughly satisfied.
Of course,
Tuck did not forget about Barkin’s safety.
Before leaving, he left a Third Rank Soul Shadow behind in the shadow beneath Barkin.
“If you encounter danger, shout my name loudly, and I will hear your call for help.”
After completing all of these tasks, Tuck departed without a trace.
Before the commencement of the underground treasure hunt, Tuck planned to properly construct the Magic Cottage first.
