You are all my wings!

The two nodded solemnly.

They all saw Leon's upgrade items.

A powerful seventh-tier shadow longsword.

When upgrading to the fifth rank, they actually dared to use materials of this caliber, and they were even using secret treasures.

If they hadn't witnessed that Leon's physical resistance was already comparable to Camille's, and that he had mastered a seventh-tier combat skill, completed routine training, and could unleash the power of his combat skills with every move, they would never have let Leon take such a risk.

This kind of operation is unprecedented and will probably never be repeated.

It's unheard of for someone like Leon, who at the fourth rank can match the physical resistance of a powerful sixth-rank monster, with strength, physique, and agility exceeding four times the limit.

A little while later, someone spread the word, and many people came over.

Machiru arrived first: "Leon is actually going to use a powerful seventh-tier secret treasure to advance to the fifth tier this time? Iris, why don't you try to dissuade Leon? This is different from before. If he fails, the powerful legendary-level secret treasure will explode, and the severe injuries to his body may be difficult to heal even with king-level healing magic."

Ophie Marceau, who had just finished training with Lyon, sat down to the side and said:

“Machiru, when I advanced to the sixth rank, I used a powerful seventh-rank secret treasure. I believe that although Lyon is currently at the fourth rank, he is far stronger than I was at the fifth rank!”

Of course, she was referring to the fact that their normal strength would be easily defeated by the current Lyon.

If her second personality is awakened, she can rival the pinnacle of legends.

Maggie scoffed, "Who doesn't know that when you go crazy, your physique is comparable to a legend?"

As the women got to know each other better, they naturally learned about these secrets more and more.

Orpheus said, “It’s different. When I went mad, my strength and magic were comparable to a legend, but even with my second personality activated, my physical resistance was still inferior to Leon’s. So, Maquill, you have to believe in Leon.”

Maggie immediately frowned.

In the distance, Margaret's figure quietly appeared. She stood in the candlelight shadows at the basement entrance, her expression unreadable.

She said:

"I will step in if anything unexpected happens, don't worry."

Maggie, however, did not trust Margaret and decided to keep a close eye on Leon herself.

Hamra also appeared quietly. She glanced around, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes. It seemed that she should also advance to the legendary level as soon as possible.

Young people are so daring, trying things that seem impossible.

However, he simply followed the established procedures, which was truly unbecoming of an elder.

Even if most of the hatred has been resolved, the mastermind behind it hasn't been found yet. I have to work hard and not let this future son-in-law look down on me. I have to be a good mother-in-law.

Terena and Tanya, who were studying, also came over with Langley. They quietly climbed down the stairs, stood in the corner, and watched silently.

Leon ignored them, focusing on his final meditation before advancing to the next level.

A moment later, he activated his magic and poured it into the magic circle on the ground.

boom!!!!!

A dazzling magical light flashed out, and in the center of the magic circle, the powerful seventh-tier shadow treasure, worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, quickly emitted a violent shadow, surging like a thick black cloud, spreading in the blink of an eye.

Soon, a shadowy aura, as vast as an ocean, obscured the magical brilliance and was about to cross the basement.

Beside them, Iris and Britta intensified their spellcasting, using light and holy protective magic to conceal the surging shadowy aura.

Machiru activated her demonic pupils, allowing her to pierce through the shadows and mist and carefully observe Leon's expression.

Five seconds passed in the blink of an eye. Leon's expression remained calm, and Maggie breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Because it was a legendary treasure, the magical ritual to digest the upgrade item was surprisingly slow this time.

Normally, within two or three minutes, all the attributes of the upgraded item will be extracted, turning it into a fragile shell.

However, it is clear that this fifth-order magic array cannot easily neutralize the treasure.

This made everyone hold their breath, their hearts pounding.

Finally, 30 minutes passed, the magical light disappeared, and the treasure turned into powder and fell to the ground.

Everyone carefully observed Lyon's expression, each with their own surprise and doubt.

"Did big brother succeed?"

Tanya's eyes were blank; she hadn't yet realized what Leon's advancement meant. Although the commotion was significant, it was concealed by magic, so she didn't feel it deeply.

"Success! Lyon has become the first person in history to successfully digest a powerful seventh-tier secret treasure while advancing to the fifth tier."

Margaret spoke softly, a deep sense of astonishment flashing in her eyes.

In the past, there were exceptionally talented individuals who could use seventh-tier materials to advance to the fifth tier, but they only dared to use ordinary seventh-tier materials and never dared to use powerful materials, let alone powerful treasures.

But what Leon used was a powerful secret treasure that was even better than seventh-tier materials!

A hint of doubt flashed in Britta's eyes as she asked, "How do you know that Lyon is the first in history, Margaret?"

Chapter 412 The First in History

Everyone turned their attention to Margaret.

Before Lyon could fully digest the knowledge gained from this advancement, he would need Margaret, a veteran, to explain what it meant to be the first in history.

Camille also found it strange and asked:

"That's right, how can you be so sure this is the first in history? Mythology is so ancient, even if Lyon is highly talented, he might not be able to surpass all the geniuses in the long history, right?"

"It's definitely the first time in history."

Margaret said with certainty:

"At least within the scope of recorded mythological history, the strongest advancement records of the fourth rank are those of Cheng Erheli, the God of Life who became a god at the end of the Eden Era, and Hephaestus, the God of Forging who became a god in the middle of the Flood Era. When they advanced from the fourth rank to the fifth rank, they both used materials from ordinary seventh-rank divine species, which was already worthy of being recorded in great detail at the time."

The women were immediately taken aback.

Margaret spoke with such certainty and such specificity.

Could Lyon really be the first person in history to accomplish such a great feat?

"Moreover, in the history of mythology, there are only two successful cases of advancing two ranks using materials. It is even more impossible to use eighth-rank materials to advance from fifth to sixth rank. The strongest one is Athena, another goddess of war in the Eden Era, who used a powerful seventh-rank secret treasure when advancing to sixth rank. In this respect, Ophi... Ophi Marceau has equaled this record. Of course, the fact that the profession system was not perfect in the past and there is no comparison between ancient and modern times is also a factor."

Margaret almost called out the nickname 'Orpheus', just like Timia did.

To avoid being noticed, she quickly added:

"In addition, in the history of mythology, there are also gods who tried to use materials across two levels like Leon when they were at a lower level, but most of them ended in failure. They were equally talented, and even mastered legendary combat skills in advance like Leon, but they still failed. It can be seen that Leon must have made other preparations."

A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes as she mentioned that Lyon had made other preparations.

It's strange that I can't figure out what Lyon's true trump card is that will allow him to successfully advance to the next level.

After listening to Margaret's explanation, the women finally understood just how significant Ang's advancement was.

Although in most of their minds, Leon was a genius who was more of a strategist than a fighter.

But at this moment, they couldn't help but realize, and several of them thought in unison: Lyon is so versatile and talented, if it weren't for (me), wouldn't he have achieved even greater things long ago?

then--

[Character Iris's affection level +2%, current affection level 129%]

[Villain Machiru's favorability increased by 2%, current favorability 120%, soul link deepened]

[It can automatically enter a 3-hour deep purification mode every 24 hours]

[Character Ophimosa's affinity +2%, 112%]

[Character Britta's affection level increased by 2%, current affection level 107%]

[Character Therina's affection level +2%, current affection level 96%]

[The affinity level has reached a critical point. The first intimate moment or T-exchange can increase mental strength. The extent of the increase depends on the affinity level.]

Their favorability ratings both increased by 2%.

[Hidden character Taynya's affection level increased by 1%, current affection level is 77%]

The panel refreshed with a large number of messages almost at the same time. Even Lyon, who was digesting the information with his eyes closed, was shocked. This was the first time that the numbers had risen so uniformly.

This time, apart from Camille, whose price didn't increase, everyone else present who had their character's screen opened actually saw their price rise.

It seems this is due to the assistance and endorsement of the First Saintess Margaret and a legendary expert (as commonly known, but actually an epic figure).

However, Lyon is still in form and continues to focus on digesting the information.

Camille couldn't help but ask, "Margaret, are you an expert in mythology? Are there really no other successful examples?"

Margaret nodded calmly.

"At least not to the extent that I know of."

Mythology is a very broad field of study. Most people only know some famous ancient gods, monsters, and mythical creatures.

To delve into the life stories and details of these ancient figures, one must examine the ancient heritage they received and the richness of their personal knowledge.

Among them, the god of life, Cheng Erheli, is an ancient deity that all members of the Church must know and understand. The believers present have also basically heard of him and can recognize him at a glance.

Hephaestus, the god of forging, is a name that only magicians and alchemists may have heard of, and they may know that his name appears in some fire magic spells, but many people do not know much about his specific story and life experiences.

Among the people present, each was undoubtedly more talented than the last, but their understanding of mythological history was only superficial.

In an era when gods were not visible and divine species were extinct, mythology was, after all, a niche area of ​​knowledge.

Aside from Ophimasso and Britta, who have a relatively deeper understanding due to their royal lineage and papal heritage, other people really don't know that much detail.

A person who is well-versed in the history of mythology can also be described as a living encyclopedia.

It's not surprising that Margaret, as one of only two high-level powerhouses present, is familiar with mythological history.

However, some people didn't find it strange, while others became suspicious.

Camille and Britta were among those who still harbored some doubts about Margaret.

Neither of them asked further, but they suppressed their doubts.

Iris couldn't help but raise her hand and timidly ask, "Excuse me, when are the Eden Era and the Flood Era?"

With a slap, Hamra smacked Iris on the head speechlessly, then glared at her.

This good-for-nothing girl.

It seems that taking Elizabeth out to travel from a young age has both advantages and disadvantages.

The bad thing is that the elves don't receive a unified basic education, making them the worst of the worst students.

Fortunately, due to her extensive experience, her combat skills and adaptability are quite good, generally stronger than pure-blooded elves of the same age, and she also became a Light Elementalist at a very young age.

To put it nicely, it's pure and focused; to put it bluntly, it's too naive.

Margaret, seemingly too lazy to bother with Iris, this academically challenged student, and didn't reply.

Iris immediately pouted, her pink cheeks puffing up like balloons.

She thought to herself, "I really haven't learned this. Is it embarrassing to not know?"

Terena glanced at Iris, her pearly pupils flashing slightly, and suddenly spoke to explain:

"The Eden Era was an era in which the intelligent species shone brightly, spanning from 30 million to 6 million years ago, lasting a total of 25 million years. This period also saw the most intelligent species becoming gods, with an average of one god being born every 100,000 years. That is, approximately 250 gods were born during the Eden Era, and the vast majority perished in the Eden War at the end of the era. A small number disappeared into the depths of the Sacred Realm, and only a few gods survived to the subsequent Flood Era, leading the intelligent species to rise again."

Her voice was as clear and cool as ever, like a mountain spring, cool and bright.

Iris looked at the petite Terena with immediate gratitude:

"Thank you for your explanation, The...Therena! My name is Iris! You can call me by my name!"

Iris and Terena were not familiar with each other before and had no obvious interaction. This time, she called Terena by name and completed the introduction, which made her feel very excited.

Actually, she had thought Terena was very beautiful and had a great temperament back during the Mshifisu incident. She was also very cute despite her small stature and interesting personality. She had wanted to get close to her for a long time, but she had never found the opportunity.

"Ah."

Terena replied casually.

"What about the Flood Era?"

Iris asked again.

“Strictly speaking, we are still within the Flood Era, or rather, we should be considered to be at the end of the era.”
