"F*ck! This... What's that ball of blue gas in this kid's hand? How can it be so terrifying?"

"Clyde was killed by that ball of blue gas, right?"

"Then why the f*ck fight? Sorry, since boss Clyde is dead, I'll run first!"

As one of his subordinates fled in panic, the others also suddenly became alert.

That was right. Even Clyde was dead. Wasn't it just flicking a finger for Stark to get rid of them?

Thus, the people who reacted quickly fled from the palace.

However.

"Hmph, you still want to run after provoking me?"

Stark definitely wouldn't give these people a chance to leave and then return to take revenge on himself. With a move of his hand, the aura of the dead instantly swept towards these people.

A terrifying freezing sound rang in their ears.

These people were also frozen by the aura of the dead. They instantly cracked and turned into large ice chunks.

..

After doing all this, Stark looked at the aura of the dead in his hand. After using it for the first time, he finally felt how powerful this ability was.

Regardless of whether it was Clyde who had activated Crimson Rage or his subordinates who wanted to escape, they were all instantly frozen.

It was worthy of being the inheritance of the ancient demon god, Astark.

It was comparable to his various SSS-grade abilities!

And it was precisely because of this situation that Stark's desire to evolve his undead abilities became even more intense.

Following that., Stark conveniently turned his gaze towards Delia, who was beside him.

At this moment, Delia was a little unable to recover from the scene where Stark had turned Clyde into ice chunks.

When she noticed Stark's gaze, she immediately reacted.

"Thank... Thank you for saving me!"

At the same time, her eyes turned serious as she looked at Stark. "I will keep my promise and follow you forever!"

"Mm, that's good. Don't resist anything that happens next."

Delia submitted at once. After Stark responded, he also released his ruling light.

Following the sound of the notification, Delia officially became Stark's third teammate after Susanna and Chris.

After submitting, Delia was also very sensible. She directly announced this information to her companions.

At first, these companions were astonished.

But after hearing that Delia had already made an agreement with Stark, although they couldn't bear it, they still expressed their understanding.

After all, an agreement had to be kept.

Furthermore, following Stark would naturally have a better future than with them.

After bidding farewell to Delia one by one, these people also left.

Within the palace, only Stark and Delia were left.

As she had already submitted to Stark, Delia opened her mouth and asked, "Boss, what's our next plan?

"Are we going to leave this palace?"

"There's no rush. I still have other things to do." While speaking, Stark had already walked towards a particular place.

Just as Delia wondered why Stark was acting this way...

In the next second, her beautiful eyes widened.

She knew what Stark was going to do.

She saw a treasure chest that was emitting a radiant platinum light suddenly appear before her eyes.

Platinum treasure chest!

Stark stretched out his hand and activated his will.

He opened the platinum treasure chest!

With a cracking sound, the platinum treasure chest, which many people had been chasing after, was finally opened in front of the two!

Only two pieces of equipment dropped from the platinum treasure chest.

Both of them were glowing in a resplendent platinum color—B-grade items!

[Ding. Congratulations on successfully obtaining B-grade equipment: Demon Necklace!]

[Congratulations on successfully obtaining B-grade item: Item Evolution Crystal!]

[Ding. Congratulations on obtaining a wisp of divine power left behind by Mercenary King Phelps in the treasure chest!]

Looking at the last message, Stark's eyes instantly lit up to the limit.

Within the platinum treasure chest, Phelps' last wisp of divine power was finally obtained by him!

At the same time, two B-grade items dropped consecutively!

This time, he had truly struck it rich. All his previous efforts were not in vain!

For the time being, he placed the most important part of Phelps' divine power aside.

Stark first paid attention to the two B-grade equipment that had just dropped.

The first was the necklace in his hand. At the core of the necklace was a black heart-shaped gem. On it, there was a little demon engraved.

A piece of information immediately appeared in front of him.

[Item: Demon Necklace

Level: B

Effect: increases 200 spell strength and increases the wearer's mana recovery by 20%. At the same time, when the target uses a demon-type skill, it will receive a 12% increase in strength!]

..

Next was the platinum crystal.

[Item: Item Evolution Crystal

Level: B

Effect: Any C-rank equipment will be strengthened into a B-rank item!]

The information of the two items entered his eyes.

Each item was useful to him.

Especially this accessory equipment was perfect for him.

"Luciana, come out."

Stark directly summoned Luciana.

Luciana instantly appeared from a cloud of black fog.

"Subordinate Luciana greets Master."

Luciana respectfully knelt down on one knee as she looked at her master.

Luciana was currently dressed in purple. The two breasts on her chest were extremely eye-catching. If one looked down, they would see a pair of long, fair legs and high heels.

Delia was also stunned when she saw this scene.

She did not know that there was such an existence by Stark's side. The beauty of this girl in front of her was not inferior to her in the slightest.

Moreover, what shocked her the most was... her strength.

As a level-35 Transcendent being, with her scouting technique, the girl was actually like Stark. She was unable to see through the woman in front of her.

While Delia was stunned, Stark directly handed the Demon Necklace to Luciana.

"I'll give this necklace to you as a reward for following me recently," Stark said slowly.

Actually, he had already had this idea a long time ago.

Luciana had followed him for so long.

As her master, he had to at least reward her with something now and then.

And this time, it just so happened that B-grade demon equipment was dropped, which was very compatible with Luciana's attributes. It was quite decent, too, so he directly gave it to her as a reward.

But on the other side, Luciana, who had received Stark's reward, did not think so.

"Master, this is..."

Looking at the Demon Necklace in her hand, Luciana, who had killed several enemies for Stark without a change in expression, revealed a hint of surprise.

She had never thought about it.

In fact, ever since she was summoned, she already knew that she had to protect this man in front of her.

That was her destiny.

And because of that, this protection was more like a mission that needed to be carried out.

After Stark gave her the Demon Necklace, she realized for the first time that he did not simply treat her as a pet.

Instead, he treated her like a subordinate or a companion.

This feeling of being noticed for the first time moved her. She didn't know what to say.

Finally, all kinds of words turned into one sentence. "Subordinate thanks Master!"

Then, she turned into a black mist and disappeared.

However, what Stark didn't know was that after Luciana returned to the dark space, she held the necklace tightly in her hand.

At this moment, Luciana was even more determined to protect her master.
