On the day of the journey, Leon was set to depart for an overseas trip arranged by Freya and Ronald. He had been kept in the dark about their destination-until that very morning!
Freya had taken care of every detail, from booking the plane tickets to handling visa applications. Leon didn't have to worry about a thing; his only job was to be ready and roll with whatever itinerary the pair had planned for him.
However, as he walked into the main room, he noticed something unexpected: Lily, standing by with her own packed suitcase.
Wasn't she supposed to stay behind and attend school?
"I decided to take a break from school and come with you!"
"Are you sure, Lily? Why would you do that?"
"It's fine!" she replied. "My school is going on a field trip, and I decided to skip it so I could come with you instead."
"Are you absolutely sure about this?"
"Yes," she said confidently. "I already talked it over with Freya, and she's fine with it."
Leon smiled. "Alright then... I'm guessing they've planned something fun for us, right? Otherwise, there's no way you'd be this eager to tag along."
With that, they quickly gathered their things and left the house, catching a taxi to take them to the airport.
The day took an unexpected turn for Leon when they arrived and he discovered they'd be boarding Ronald's private jet.
His jaw nearly dropped as he turned to Ronald. "How rich are you?"
"Ha ha ha... What, you think Elincia's the only one with a private jet equipped with a capsule device?"
Leon stared in awe as they boarded the opulent plane. The interior was a masterpiece of luxury-a spacious cabin with plush leather seats, full-sized beds, and a cozy lounge area with sleek sofas and elegant coffee tables.
A dining section complete with a bar, an assortment of snacks laid out buffet-style, and entertainment corners outfitted with cutting-edge technology left him utterly speechless. The idea of using the capsule device mid-flight only added to his excitement.
"So, which country are we heading to? I still have no idea."
The three people in front of him-Freya, Ronald, and Lily-turned to him with synchronized enthusiasm and declared in unison, "South Korea!"
"South Korea?" Leon repeated, the names of a few guildmates flashing through his mind. Elincia, Booba, and Starfall. All of them were from there.
"Are we going there to recruit one of them?" he asked curiously.
Ronald grinned. "With us, everything's always a surprise."
Turning to Freya, Leon asked, "You're sure you've taken care of all the documents we need to enter Korea, right?"
Freya smiled confidently and gave a small nod. Without saying a word, she reached into her bag and pulled out a small box. She held it out to Leon with an encouraging look.
"Take it."
Leon accepted the box. As he opened it, his eyes widened in shock. Inside was an Immortal Legacy Platinum Card.
"That's your new card, Leon," Freya explained. "With that card, several countries allow entry without the need for a visa. It's incredibly exclusive. Getting one requires meeting some very difficult criteria."
Leon already owned a Gold Card, though he rarely used it. Now, holding the Immortal Platinum Card, he felt like he'd just unlocked an entirely new level.
"This is incredible..." he murmured.
Freya chuckled softly. "Yes, the privileges of owning an Immortal Platinum Card are substantial. Just showing it earns you respect in most places. It's more than just a card-it's a statement."
"Haha, exactly!" Ronald added with a laugh. "That's how the elite flex their status-with the Immortal Platinum Card."
"Congratulations, Leon!" Lily exclaimed
Freya nodded. "Absolutely."
"And..." Ronald said, leaning back in his chair with a mischievous grin, "I hope Golden Age comes out with an even higher-tier card after this. Something like an Immortal Legendary Card or an Immortal Divine Champion Card. Haha, maybe even an Immortal Mythical Card or something wild like that!"
"That would be really cool," Freya said with a laugh.
By now, the plane was soaring through the skies on its way to South Korea. With fourteen hours of travel time ahead of them, there was plenty of opportunity to relax-but they weren't content to just chat, watch movies, or indulge in the luxurious meals on board. After a few hours, Leon decided to explore the capsule device on the plane.

Broken re-entered the Tower of Trials, standing once again on the first floor. This time, though, his gaze was sharper, his determination far stronger than when he first set foot in this
place.
And yet, even on the very first floor, he was spending an incredible amount of time-not just to clear it, but to achieve the maximum score in the challenge.
Gripping his spear tightly, he readied himself as the first wave of monsters entered the arena. A faint smile tugged at his lips-he was fully immersed in the thrill of the fight.
When a boar-like monster charged toward him, Broken dashed forward to meet it head-on. His movements were fluid and focused, spinning his spear with precision as he maneuvered at the last second, narrowly avoiding a collision with the beast.
Using the momentum of his speed, he struck its legs with devastating force, causing the massive creature to collapse. Without hesitation, he delivered a fatal blow to it.
Next came a massive serpent, slithering rapidly toward him. Broken darted to the side, circling the spectral creature while searching for an opening.
The spectral creature repeatedly vanished and reappeared, attempting to outmaneuver him. But Broken stayed ahead of it. Every time the spectral beast materialized, he struck it with relentless accuracy, wearing it down until he finally delivered the finishing blow.
He repeated the same approach wave after wave, even as the number of monsters steadily increased. Broken maintained flawless positioning, landing fatal strikes every time an opening presented itself.
Without combat, protection, or healing abilities, he was forced to rely solely on his weapon and technique. This limitation pushed him to unlock the full potential of the spear he
wielded.
As he fought, he imagined how much more powerful he could be with the Wavebreaker Spear equipped, its Ocean Blessing enhancing his performance. The passive skills of that weapon would allow him to fight with even greater optimization, turning every move into a seamless combination of power and efficiency.
At last, the waves came to an end. Broken smiled in satisfaction, gazing at the aftermath of
his work.
