Liam looked at her status screen and thought for a moment.

"Hmm, I should give her some self-defense skills too," he muttered.

He searched through the skills he knew, but he didn’t have any suitable defensive skills to give her.

"Well, I guess I’ll just have to carry her if things get dangerous. After all, help from one’s familiar is allowed."

He nodded before closing Miriel’s status screen and opening his own.

"Give me five more levels, and then I can start my own Tier 2 Trial as well," Liam said with a smile.

"I wonder if I’ll return at Tier 2 before her trial is even over."

He grinned at the thought before closing his status screen and looking at Miriel.

"At least she is a hard worker."

Liam nodded and activated Black Crystal Silk Creation.

He created a large net of powerful black crystal silk around Miriel’s position. He reinforced it several times, making sure that no monster would be able to reach her while he was away.

After creating the protective net, Liam used the crystal silk to write a message near the entrance.

I’ll be back soon. Stay here until I return.

With everything prepared, Liam flew high into the air.

Using his enhanced vision, he began searching the surrounding forest.

After a few minutes, he spotted a village.

"Hmm, a village with around a hundred Orcs, led by an Orc Shaman."

"Nice. Maybe the Shaman can give me some useful skills."

Liam immediately flew toward the village.

As he approached, the Orcs noticed him.

Several Orcs looked toward the sky in confusion, while the Orc Shaman quickly realized that something was wrong.

Before they could react, Liam activated Black Crystal Silk Creation.

Countless strands of black crystal silk shot toward the village.

The silk wrapped around the Orcs, binding them tightly and preventing them from moving.

The Orc Shaman tried to cast a spell, but Liam immediately sent more crystal silk toward him and restrained him as well.

Liam then pulled all the captured Orcs together.

"I’ve grown much stronger."

He looked at the restrained Orcs before activating his Abyssal Venom.

The venom spread through the area.

A moment later, several explosions erupted among the Orcs.

The entire village was quickly covered in poison and blood.

Notifications appeared one after another.

[ You have defeated Orc. ]

[ Experience +... ]

[ You have defeated Orc Shaman. ]

[ Experience +... ]

Liam’s experience rapidly increased.

His level continued rising until it finally reached Level 60.

He looked at his status screen with satisfaction.

"Level 60 already."

He then glanced toward the direction where he had left Miriel.

"Now, as long as Miriel completes her trial, I can also advance to Tier 2."

"I wonder what my next evolution will be."

"After all, the Cursed Eye King is only an E-Rank Dream Race."

Liam then continued searching through the loot he had obtained from the Orcs.

There were many skill crystals, various Orc weapons, materials, and the Shaman’s staff.

Most of the skills were either too weak or unsuitable for him.

However, Liam eventually found something useful.

"Hmm... Mana Shield."

"It’s only a single skill crystal, but I’ll give it to Miriel. She needs defensive skills more than I do."

He placed the Mana Shield crystal into his inventory.

Liam continued searching through the skill crystals.

The next one caught his attention.

[ Skill: Totem of Elevation ]

Liam looked at the description carefully.

"Interesting."

He decided to learn it himself.

The skill crystal dissolved into particles of light and entered his body.

A moment later, Liam understood how to use the skill.

He immediately activated Reality Reversal.

Silver light surrounded his body as the skill level began to change.

[ Totem of Elevation (Lv.1) → Totem of Elevation (Lv.10 - MAX) ]

Liam checked the new effect.

At Level 1, the skill could create a totem that increased all attributes by 10% for one minute.

After reaching Level 10, its effect had increased significantly.

[ Totem of Elevation ]

Level: 10 - MAX

Description: Creates a Totem of Elevation that increases all attributes of allies within its range by 30%.

Duration: 10 minutes.

Maximum Totems: 1

"Not bad."

Liam was satisfied with the skill.

"It can increase all attributes at once."

"That should be useful when I fight stronger enemies."

He stored the remaining skill crystals and the Orc Shaman’s staff in his inventory.

There was nothing else particularly useful among the loot.

Liam then looked toward the direction where he had left Miriel.

"I should head back."

He spread his four wings and quickly flew through the forest.

With his current speed, it didn’t take long for him to return to the place where Miriel was waiting.

From a distance, he could already see the large black crystal silk net he had created around her.

Miriel was sitting inside it with her sword beside her.

She immediately noticed Liam approaching.

"You’re back."

Liam landed beside her.

"Yes."

"Did anything happen while I was gone?"

Miriel shook her head.

"No. I stayed here like you told me."

Liam nodded in satisfaction.

"Good. Then we can continue."

He removed the crystal silk barrier and looked at Miriel’s status.

Her mana had fully recovered.

"Are you ready for the Advancement Trial now?" Liam asked.

Miriel nodded.

"Okay. Then learn this skill first," he said, handing her the Mana Shield skill crystal.

Miriel nodded and absorbed the crystal, successfully learning the skill.

Liam immediately used Reality Reversal on it.

The skill level instantly changed from its lowest level to the maximum level.
