Before Alec were the two Spirit Equipment Sets he had been planning to upgrade for a long time now, and he figured out that the two grandmaster forgers responsible for upgrading them just happened to be twins.

Alec had always felt that the system either used the same forger grandmaster astral form to craft both of them, or two different forgers with the same skill set, as if they had learned under the same master.

That was why both sets had always shared certain similarities in their abilities.

But for the first time today, twin grandmasters were responsible for upgrading them, and Alec believed the system had done this to keep the similarities between the two sets continuous.

After all, despite the twins specializing in crafting different elemental Spirit Equipment, the fundamentals behind their work and the methods they used still followed the same path.

Looking at them now, Alec couldn’t help feeling proud, especially when his gaze landed on his own equipment set, even its name had changed from the Infernal Mantle Set to the Infernal Sovereign Set.

And not only had it been upgraded, but two more pieces had also been added to the Spirit Equipment Set: a helm and a pair of boots, making it a complete full-body set, even the Terra Sovereign set also had new additions to its set.

The Infernal Sovereign Set levitated in the air beside the Terra Sovereign Set, carrying a much fiercer aura than before, the amount of power it was exuding was far beyond what it had released back when it was still at the Tier 5 level.

And the new skills attached to it, along with its enhancements, were far beyond normal, with his kingdom being attacked from multiple locations, Alec decided it was time to personally pay his new neighbors and the intruders a visit.

He stretched out his hand toward the newly upgraded Infernal Set, even before his hand got close enough, just with the intention of reaching for it caused the Spirit Equipment that had been floating in midair to stir, as it moved straight toward Alec’s hand.

After all, it was still bound to him.

In an instant, the entire Infernal Sovereign Set opened up and encased itself around Alec’s body after the first contact, as if it had a mind of its own, at that moment, Alec spread his arms wide as the full set latched onto him.

He felt a slight itch spread across his entire body as he closed his eyes, while the new tattoos of the equipment set engraved themselves onto his skin, the process took about a minute before the glowing tattoos of the Infernal Set completely submerged into his skin and disappeared leaving only his bestial soul tattoos on the surface of his skin.

Alec could feel the current flow of power augmentation between him and his equipment set, and he could feel that his Black Ash sub-power is now properly complemented by just as much as his fire and earth elements.

After coming out of the room, he found Brandon still sitting cross-legged there with his eyes closed, replaying the life-and-death battle he had just experienced in the amulet’s beast forest.

From his facial expression, Alec believed that Brandon must have gained some insight from the battle, not wanting to disturb him, he decided to go to the battlefield alone, he simply used his mental power to move the newly improved and vastly different equipment set before Brandon.

When Brandon woke up, he would be able to understand what Alec meant, after that, Alec moved toward the teleportation axis outside.

His destination was Arthur’s city.
