Riveting Night was naturally startled by what she saw. This title was even more powerful than the Frontiersmen that Umbra gained when the Vita Settlement had been upgraded into a Capital City.

The reputation bonus was especially crazy. It meant that apart from Unique Quests where all titles and social relevance were made meaningless, the members of Umbra would be treated with true respect wherever they went, whether it was a Rank 7 power or a Divine Empire.

This was not something to be taken lightly. It opened up many doorways for the members of Umbra. Their global expansion would become much easier, and their ability to access special areas with lucrative resources, shocking quests, and hidden dungeons would skyrocket.

There was also the purchase discount. The guild usually relied on Money Lover to abuse his class to buy extremely low and place items into the Guild Shop while he sold the productions of the guild members extremely high.

This was one of the reasons for the guild's rapidly growing wealth. With this title though, others would be able to buy stuff they needed personally even cheaper, thereby saving their funds for more important purchases.

Unfortunately, this did not cover fees, so stuff like paying for Class Ups, paying for construction, or paying for upgrades did not count. It had many benefits for each member and no detriments to the guild.

As for the combat power increase, it was simply the icing on the cake. Even if Umbra was on par with other guilds - assuming the comprehensive strength of the guild was pulled down to match that level - they now would have the advantage against any enemies.

With the new Class Up feature for the members of Umbra to enjoy, this 10% combat power boost was no longer simple, but a huge increase that raised the guild up to another tier.

After taking this in, Riveting Night then went on to continue her silent assessment of the core member's Legendary skills. As always, first was Noble Writer.

After going through everyone's skills, Riveting Night put everything at the forefront of her mind. She calculated various strategical formations and combinations they could utilize when together and some ideas came to light.

As Draco had once said, Riveting Night was a supreme talent when it came to training and raising experts. Draco's talent with guilds basically came down to his charisma and his raw personal power that could hold down the skies.

At this point, the guards had already authenticated their permit, and the core members of Umbra were allowed entry into this special Continental Dungeon.

Once they passed through the portal, they were deposited in a super mini small world that looked like some bizarre fusion between a futuristic science lab and a witches' hut in a swamp.

Riveting Night recognized this as the typical architecture for goblin and gnomish labs, where they tinkered with their inventions and created strange yet wondrous contraptions with ease.

Just as the members of Umbra were looking around to assess their surroundings, Riveting Night roared to them: "Form up! The enemy will start pouring in endlessly in 5 seconds! Ready your skills, techniques, and weapons now! Get into formation!"

They all hurriedly complied as they didn't want to mess up on their big debut in front of Riveting Night. How well they did today would prove how good her investment in them was, and might decide their future with Umbra.

After 5 seconds, the earth trembled mightily as the core members of Umbra could feel the footsteps of hundreds of monsters rushing towards them, making their breathing still and their hearts palpitate.
