Mathew's PoV:
As I was holding the brain of the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger, I decided that it would be best to store it in a storage ring than holding it while the blood on the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger's brain soiled my hand.
I took out a legendary rank storage ring from my deity rank storage ring. How strange it was for having to store a storage ring inside another storage ring?
Although I could store storage rings inside another storage ring, there was still one restriction in doing so. That restriction was that I could only store one storage ring of any rank lower than the storage ring I used to store the storage ring.
For example, I could store the legendary rank storage ring inside my deity rank storage ring because the legendary rank storage ring was a rank lower than the deity rank storage ring.
I could store any storage ring below the deity rank but not a storage ring that had the same rank as another stored storage ring
For example, I could store both mythical rank and legendary rank storage rings inside my deity rank storage ring but not two legendary rank storage rings in my deity rank storage ring.
I had found out about that during my free time since I was experimenting with the effects of my storage ring and the other artifacts that I had obtained.
What good an artifact was if I couldn't even determine its proper uses, right?
That's what I had in mind when I was experimenting on the uses of artifacts that I had stolen and I found out about the uses of the said artifacts without any problem whatsoever.
I might as well find more uses for the storage ring later. For now, I needed to store the brain of the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger inside the legendary rank storage ring.
"Store."
I muttered as I pointed the legendary rank storage ring towards the brain of the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger that was currently on my right hand.
The legendary rank storage ring that I was holding on my left hand slightly glowed so the storage ability of the legendary rank storage ring was activated.
The brain of the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger transformed into particles of light and the particles of light was absorbed by the legendary rank storage ring.
With the legendary rank storage ring, I wouldn't need to worry about carrying the corpses of the high-level monsters.
As I thought of that, I went towards the corpse of the level 76,000 shadow ravage tiger and stored it in the legendary rank storage ring.
I then walked towards Alex and Distere. I stored the corpse of the level 79,000 boa constrictor that was currently beside Alex and Distere by using the legendary rank storage ring.
Afterward, I proceeded in storing the corpses of the other high-level monsters that were littered on the ground.
Axel must have some uses with the corpses of the high-level monsters so I might as well store it in the legendary rank storage ring.
I had already planned on giving the legendary rank storage ring that contained the corpses of the high-level monsters to Axel after he wakes up.
I don't have that much use for the corpses of the high-level monsters even if those were materials for making artifacts and equipment since I could steal any artifacts and equipment I wanted to obtain at any time.
There was no point in wasting my time handing the corpse of the high-level monsters to a blacksmith to create personalized equipment.
Now that the high-level monsters were defeated, I decided to rest for a while.
I went to a nearby tall tree and jumped towards one of the thick branches of the tall tree. I then sat and rested on one of the thick branches of the tall tree while checking up on what my teammates were doing.
I saw Distere who was currently sitting beside Alex. Pedonar, Sophie, and Aileen were meditating beside each other as they were recovering the mana that they had consumed.
Aerin removed the wooden hemisphere that covered both Aerin and Axel inside which revealed Axel who was currently lying on the ground. Axel was still unconscious so that must be why he didn't assist the others in defeating the high-level monsters.
Axel had fought against all of the high-level monsters so he must have expended a lot of mana and energy.
How lucky Axel was to have a fiancee such as Aerin who would protect and take care of him whenever he was at his weakest.
Anyways, I'm not that jealous of Axel for having a caring and beautiful fiancee since I am not that much interested in having a relationship for now.
I am still young so I should be able to find a suitable relationship partner for myself when the time comes.
Anyways, I should just rest in here for the time being while waiting for the others to complete their recovery.
As I thought of that, I closed my eyes and relaxed.

[An hour has passed...]
Alex's PoV:
The paralysis of my body had worn off. Distere was still beside me and he was currently meditating.
Fortunately, Mathew had stored the corpse of the level 79,000 boa constrictor in his storage ring or I would have to spend an hour smelling the fresh blood of the level 79,000 boa constrictor.
Since the side effect of the [Surpass Limits] skill which was full body paralysis had worn off, I stood up and stretched my body.
I had already recovered 80% of my mana during the time I was lying on the ground since I had nothing to do at that time.
I checked up on the others and saw Pedonar who was currently fiddling with his death mana and condensing his death mana into various shapes and forms.
Pedonar must have trained his control over his death mana since that would come in handy when he would be battling against high-level monsters or any other threats.
Aileen and Sophie were currently having a duel with each other without using their mana. It was more of physical training for them to exchange and understand the flaws of their fighting techniques.
Aileen was wielding twin swords while Sophie was using two short daggers to fight against Aileen.
Aileen and Sophie were only using their mana to materialize their weapons. Other than that, the two of them had not used their mana to improve their stats and launch an attack against each other.
As Aileen and Sophie continuously clashed against each other using their condensed mana weapons, beads of sweat trickled down on their forehead as the two of them were starting to get exhausted.
I saw Mathew on top of a tree branch. Mathew seemed to have been sleeping so I might as well not disturb him.
I checked up on Aerin and Axel and saw Aerin who was currently stroking Axel's silver hair as she let Axel sleep on her lap.
Damn! It's not like I am jealous or anything like that. But I gotta say, Axel was so lucky to have Aerin as his fiancee. Although, Axel doesn't know that Aerin had let him sleep on her lap pillow.
After I finished checking up on what my teammates were doing, I stood up from the ground and opened the system mission interface.
If I'm not wrong, then I had already completed the two system missions that I had received earlier.
*Ding!*
*S-Class Rank Mission- Evil! Thou Will Be Vanquished and S-Class Rank System Mission- Fulfilling An Apprentice's Duty have been completed!*
*The total rewards for the two S-Class Rank Mission will be 1,500 system points and an increase in favorability from the being known as Axel.*
Finally! I could now purchase the mythical rank [Sword Song] skill and the mythical [Sword Dance] skill in the system shop.
The system purchases the [Sword Song] skill and the [Sword Dance] skill.
*Purchasing the [Sword Song] and the [Sword Dance] skill... The purchase has been completed. One thousand system points have been deducted. Five hundred system points are left from the host's system points balance.*
I activated the [Sword Dance] and [Sword Song] skills which improved both my footwork and my sword skill execution.
I channeled my mana towards my two hands and released my mana. I then materialized a condensed mana longsword.
I executed multiple slashes, thrusts and stabs using my condensed mana longsword while the [Sword Dance] and [Sword Song] skill was activated.
My movements have become more fluid and flexible while the execution of my sword moves became much faster, precise, and had less energy consumption.
Even if an archdemon would fight against me one-on-one, I'm confident that I would be able to overpower an archdemon by using the [Sword Dance] and [Sword Song] skill.
After all, the high-level monsters were much stronger compared to the archdemons.
Since my teammates were still recuperating from the loss of mana and energy while the others were practicing their skills, I decided to hone my sword techniques for the time being.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
