Moby woke up from his deep sleep feeling more refreshed than he had ever been in the past 3 weeks. He looked over to his side, looking at Jayden's beautiful face who was wearing a nearly see-through nightgown as she slept like an angel. At least that's what he tried to tell himself. In reality, she was sleeping on one hand that was extended outwards, drooling on her arm and pillow making Moby chuckle at her less than pleasant sight.
'She must have had it pretty tough for the past few days, this must be her first good nap in a while, I can't really blame her,' Moby thought, looking at Jayden with a smile before standing up to stretch his relatively stiff and tired muscles before leaving the room.
He decided to do his daily quest before anything else in the morning. And, he of course did not decide to do it inside the bedroom as to not wake up Jayden so he headed to the arena where he could complete it in peace.
On his way there, he surprisingly found a decent amount of servants already up and about, greeting him with a bright smile and a deep bow as he passed the hallway making him admire their immense dedication for their jobs.
He also thought about what weapons and armour he should buy with his remaining 30 million dollars that he did not spend on his ability.
A part of him wanted to save the money for an emergency or to save up for even better equipment as when he buys them, they would become completely useless as he would not be able to resell them as they would only work on demons.
In the end, he decided to go for a mixture of both, saving a chunk of his money and spending the rest, all depending on the armour's effectiveness for the price.
He opened up his crafting menu and began to browse through the large selection of weapons and armour, most costing in the 100s of millions which were way out of his budget and a few even in the trillions or "Undefined" which really boggled Moby making him ask about the ludicrous pricing and the lack of many cheap armours.
'Well, the ones in the trillions and undefined most likely require a one of a kind material that is almost impossible to find in the mortal realm or that they just don't exist in this realm and are exclusive to the nether world. I learned crafting and got my skills from the nether world after all so it is only natural. Some of the ingredients that are used can be found in both of the nether and mortal worlds, although the ones in the nether world are usually, at least from my experience, much easier to find and obtain which would interns make them much more expensive."
'Yeah… That makes a lot of sense, I was actually thinking the same thing but I just wanted to be sure,' Moby said with a smile.
'Your welcome…' Avilia replied with an audible yawn.
As Moby entered through the front door of the arena, eyes casually closed while still chatting with Avilia, he suddenly heard a loud scream.
"MY LORD WATCH OUT!" a voice screamed towards Moby, making him open his eyes only to see a large, crimson fireball blasting in his direction, making him inwardly panic as he flexed his neck to the side as wide as he could, making him barely dodge it.
'Shit, that was too close,' Moby thought, sweat running down his face as his face was almost burned hard.
When he looked up, he noticed that it was non-other than Abby who had woken up even before him to do her training.
"L-lord! I sincerely apologize, I had no idea you were coming!" Abby said, running down from the stage to apologize and greet Moby with a deep bow.
"Eh, don't worry about it. All's well that ends well. Plus, it wouldn't have hurt that much anyway so put your head up!" Moby said with a smile.
"Yes! Of course!" Abby said, immediately following orders in a stiff manner.
"So, how long have you been training here for?" Moby asked with curiosity.
"I have only just arrived here around 15 minutes ago. I of course took your advice and decided to sleep early to get a good night's sleep. And I have to say, it did wonders for my overall image and energy! I have been a workaholic for so long and ever since I became a demon, I only worked harder as I had hope of finally becoming stronger again and as I had more stamina and suffered less sleep related health problems. Thank you so much for looking out for me my lord! I will try my best to rest every now and then as per your advice and suggestions!" Abby said with a heartfelt smile.
"I am glad to hear! Continue working hard! I expect great things from you!" Moby replied, putting his hands on her shoulder, making her feel extremely happy and proud of herself.
"Y-yes my lord! I promise I will not disappoint!" Abby firmly replied, looking into Moby's eyes with clear resolve.
Moby then told Abby that he was going to work out for a bit before leaving the arena and she should just continue what she was doing like he was never there which she of course agreed to.
Moby quickly finished his daily quest, assigning his 3 stat points into intelligence in order to better use his new ability, bringing it from 529 to 532.
Then, as he had extra time, he trained his new ability by testing out a few things, finding minimal success on some parts while completely failing others. All in all, he felt like he had a very long way to go. And, he felt that he was very slowly getting the hang of his ability as he got a little better and more comfortable with it the more that he practiced.
He also decided to have another training session with Abby for her to show him her new skills with the scythe and for him to teach her a few new things that she may or may not have known.
Teaching her only did confirm once more that Abby really did improve, both in her own style and in the fundamentals. How she beat him when she caught him by surprise was a result of that improvement.
After Moby felt like he had done enough training, he left the arena, leaving Abby alone in there to train as she insisted that she wanted to stay and practice the new scythe techniques that he taught her.
After leaving the arena, choosing to wait a while longer to have his morning breakfast, Moby decided to take a quick shower before returning to Jayden's room, only to find out that she was still fast asleep despite all that time.
It was now the perfect time for him to upgrade and buy new equipment from what he had seen earlier in his browsing session. He also wanted to do it alone as he understood each of his teammates' builds better than themselves due to his inspect skill, meaning that his teammates would not do him that much help in choosing a certain set of armour. Plus, he wanted to keep it as a secret, for now, to surprise his teammates with a brand new set of weapons and armour the next time they met.
