By the time that they left the swordmaster hideout, it was already evening.
Legolas led his faction members deep into the Mikaryat Mountains to stay out of the public eye while making sure to erase all tracks of their presence.
Knowing the pride and ways of the Clown Society, he had no doubt that a vengeance psychopathic army was already coming to check what happened.
If these psychopaths seeking vengeance saw them in the vicinity of the just destroyed hideout, they would all attack them without hesitation.
Though he was not afraid of antagonizing the Clown Society, he wanted to keep his real identity as elusive from them as possible since that would help him.
After locating a cave that was huge enough to contain them all while also being capable of hiding them, Legolas finally led his faction in.
As soon as they all settled down, Blue River brought another batch of the food that they looted from the swordmaster hideout to enjoy themselves again.
As they ate to their satisfaction, Legolas brought out his storage ring.
He stood up with a smile and spoke. "This time, we all tried and gave our best to the collective good of the faction".
"Congratulations, the victory this time is ours".
"Of the weapons that we looted, I'll be giving 10 to each one of you".
"Come choose anyone of your choice".
The weapons that were looted from the swordmaster hideout were much. They ranged from normal melee weapons, to Pugilist-exclusive weapons, to Elementalist staffs, to guns, and to even some supplementary weapons.
Except Prince Christensen, the 2 players were hyped at hearing that as they came forward to choose any weapon of their choice.
After a careful selection from the both of them that lasted approximately 5 minutes, Blue River and Ghost Sentry left with smiles on their faces.

Legolas turned to face Christensen with a smile. "Come take yours".
The Prince smiled then he stood up to go take his weapons. It was still hard for him to believe, but he was really not royalty anymore, he no longer had everything that he needed at the tip of his fingers.
After the encounter with the swordmaster, he matured and now understood that to survive, he needed to take opportunities into his own hands.
On getting there, he was spoiled for choice for a few minutes as he was lost deep in thought. 'What do I need most to survive? That's my priority now'.
As he thought, he soon got it. 'I'm a Summoner, Leo will do most of the work on my behalf, what I should focus on is keeping myself alive'.
He took one of the leather armors, a pair of gauntlets, a shield, a one-handed sword, while he used his remaining slots to pick supplementary weapons.
Prince Christensen turned to leave but he paused and with his back facing Legolas, he spoke. "Thank you, I really appreciate this opportunity that you gave me, thank you for everything".
Legolas simply smiled and did not reply.
After sitting down, like the 2 players, Prince Christensen used the opportunity to have a better feel of his new weapons.
A few minutes later, he looked at Rex again then he spoke. "Faction leader…"
"Just call me Legolas".
"Ok, Legolas, don't you find it strange how the prisoners disappeared".
As soon as Prince Christensen said this, all the others paused as they turned to look at him, even Legolas was shocked as it finally clicked in his brain.
"Right, throughout the raid, we didn't get to see the other prisoners".
Legolas's eyes narrowed as he thought, his suspicions increasing every moment about the occurences in the hideout again as his body suddenly reacted, flooding him with adrenaline then the next moment Legolas moved.
[You have been rewarded with a successful level up perk!]
Do you want to use it now?
----
"Yes".
[Affirmative!]
Instantly, Legolas's Grade D level up process began.
