.
I left the excited whistles and cheers behind me.
Walked out.
The corridor was completely empty.
Two Lords wearing green uniforms stood there.
On their sleeves… I noticed the emblem of Sunset City with its many palaces.
They were organizers.
One of them quickly spoke.
"Would you like medical assistance, sir?"
he asked respectfully.
"No need," I replied.
I kept walking.
Then reached a resting room.
It was spacious… with an excellent bed.
I closed the door behind me.
Took a deep breath.
Then…
Immediately pulled out the Transfer Stone.
And teleported directly to the cave.
The Transfer Stone had greatly reduced my exhaustion…
But it was only Second-Level.
It wasn't complete.
Its fatal weakness was the preparation time it required.
Even if it looked like only a few seconds…
During real danger and direct combat…
Those few seconds felt like eternity.
Especially because the stone forced me not to consume any accumulation.
No traits.
No strength.
No speed.
