Numerous system messages filled Adrian's vision as he sat down on the ground and looked at his soulbounds that are injured. Adrian sealed them for the time being as there was no longer danger. He now looked at the system prompt messages.

Adrian took a quick peek at the effects of the titles.
Effect: Deals 50% more damage to undead type enemies. Recovers health equivalent to 10% of damage dealt to undead.
Title: Liberator of the Forgotten
Effect: All Stats +50
The title effects was very nice specially the Liberator of the Forgotten title that added a lot of stats. 50 stats is about more or less 8 levels. Now he knows why the quest was very difficult but the reward was worth it. Adrian first went towards the corpse of the gravekeeper to get his quest item.
[Acquired Quest Item: Undying Heart of the Gravekeeper]
[Acquired Ring of the Corrupted]
[Acquired Earring of the Corrupted]
[Acquired Map of the Fallen]
Adrian checked the items in order to check.
Item: Ring of the Corrupted(Set Item)
Set effect: 20% skill cooldown reduction
Item: Earring of the Corrupted(Set Item)
Set effect: 20% skill cooldown reduction
Item: Map of the Fallen
Effect: Consumed when used. When used, player will acquire the link quest 'Path of the Fallen'.
The accessories were very much helpful towards Adrian specially the set effect for the ring and the earring which is giving him 20% skill cooldown reduction. What really made Adrian happy is the Map of the Fallen item which generates a quest. Usually linked quests like these are rare and the harder the quest the greater the reward. Now feeling jubilant, Adrian headed towards the abyss dragon corpse.
He does not expect much from the corpse because it was only a boss phase and the dullahan heavily damaged the boss not Adrian. Adrian reached his hand out to the abyss zombie dragon's corpse.
[Acquired epic skill book 'Abyss Dragon Breath(Degraded)']
[Acquired Abyss Dragon Essence]
Adrian's hands were shaking as he got the items from the abyss zombie dragon's corpse. He hurriedly checked the item descriptions in order to clear his doubts.
Item: Abyss Dragon Breath(Degraded) Skillbook
Conditions: Magic Job Class
Effect: Fires a concentrated beam of cold energy in a straight line of damaging enemies for 500% of magic damage. Induces frostbite for mage classes specialized in ice magic.
Item: Abyss Dragon Essence
Description: The essence of one of the pinnacle species of water dragons that rules over water and its superior element ice.
Effect: Adds qualities of the abyss dragon.
Conditions: Dragon type Soulbound or Advance Blackmith mastery.
Adrian's hands were trembling with excitement. It seems he managed to get an item that could give Kanlaon another attribute but he needed to be sure first so he would ask Pann when he returns to the Paradox Plane. Adrian was overjoyed about the abyss dragon essence but not the skillbook because he could not use it anyway.
He would probably just sell it like the queen bee soulstone so he could get money to pay for the game bills and maybe end his 8 hour gaming probation.
Adrian took a deep breath and walked towards the Asmodian ghost that is hugging the fragment like his life depended on it. He moved his hand towards the barrier and instead of his hand stopping at the barrier's boundary, his hand went through so he entered the barrier. When Adrian entered the barrier the ghost suddenly opened its eyes and looked at Adrian and assessed him.
The ghost then spoke to Adrian.
" Young one, for you to enter here and defeat the gravekeeper must have taken all of your power."
"Who are you?" Adrian asked.
" I have long forgotten my name for I have been trapped here for countless years and my soul fuels this barrier that the gravekeeper damages every time. Every time the barrier is breached, I use my soul to repair it so that the corruptant's lackeys do not sense the relic or get it. This relic is just a part of three.
The other guardians also fled the battle when we managed to seal the breach that the corruptants made to our world." the ghost replied.
Adrian listened intensely to the ghosts story so that he could properly piece together the story so far. Adrian wondered that when he changed races he did not trigger for other players to become a part of the Daemos race which means he must probably liberate the Daemos race from the persecution of humanity or band together the other races descendant to Asmodians.
Adrian was having wild thoughts when the ghost popped his concentration by saying something.
" Young one, I ask of you to guard this relic instead of me for my soul is wary and would not last any longer if I keep the relic in this place. In return I would give you my inheritance. Do you accept?" the ghost asked.
Adrian thought sincerely if he should and nodded because the world view might change if he did not accept. Since he was sent back in time but did not know when, he could potentially damage the timeline by accepting the quest. Yet Adrian knows when to take risks and this was one he was willing to gamble.
From what the dullahan said, his master was powerful and also not anyone would be entrusted with guarding a relic if they were not strong which means the class could me more powerful than he imagined.
" You would not regret your decision. I will mask the powers of the relic so that it would not be detected by the corruptant's followers but be warned that the relic pieces resonate with each other." the ghost said.
With a flick of his hand,the barrier coated the relic instead of the area and the ghost said farewell to Adrian. The floor vibrated and a treasure chest was seen rising from the floor. Adrian opened the treasure chest and his eyes sparkled.
