"Good morning to you too, slow down so you don't fall."
Over the past few years, as one of the community's management members, he has become familiar with most of the community's residents. In their eyes, Evan is a kind, sunny, and enthusiastic young man with a vibrant spirit.
Over the years, his body has grown, and he is now about the same height as many adults, even though he is still a minor.
As for strength?
The enhancement of Heartfire never stopped; he could level up automatically while eating and sleeping. In the entire settlement, there was no one left who could be Evan's opponent.
Evan stated that if he were facing the original leader behemoth, he could kill the dragon beast with one punch, and the giant serpent might need three punches because that thing had three heads.
Over the years, you have also continued to forge and research mental weapons, equipment that can resonate with the mind and give power to ordinary people, and has now covered the entire settlement's home guards.
Thanks to the training provided by the environment, the Peros people can basically enter the second stage as soon as they acquire mental armor. Even if they are a little slower, they should be able to complete the evolution after facing the Dark Erosion Beast once or twice.
However, only Vilia, old Kyle, and a few other warriors have achieved the third stage, which allows their will to shine again.
Having absorbed everyone's faith, so far only your Dawn Spear has reached the fourth stage.
"Mental Armor, my greatsword, I seem to have some clues about its forging process."
I might need to confront those Dark Devouring Beasts directly, preferably in one similar to the ruins from before.
Evan and Smith had discussed this matter, but Smith had not yet agreed.
He had enough confidence in Evan's abilities, but what lay hidden in Peros's darkness was something no one truly knew until they actually encountered him.
Any sufficiently open space may harbor some kind of trouble.
As far as Evan knew, news had come from other settlements some time ago that their exploration team had discovered a site that might be the ruins of a civilization from the Sixth Age.
Good news: the relics inside might be quite valuable.
Bad news: It contains the Dark Eclipse Beast race, which has been embroiled in conflict since the Sixth Era.
No one knows the specifics of what's inside, but none of the explorers who went in came back alive.
This is the daily routine of Peros's exploration team: following the passage to places not marked on the map, much like opening a blind box, where no one knows what kind of "surprise" they will encounter.
Even if you follow the map, because the passages are all connected, a place that was a safe zone before may become a dangerous zone that needs to be dealt with after a while, because the Dark Erosion Beasts may move there.
The trip plan hasn't been approved yet, but that's not a big problem for Evan, since his research on mind armor is progressing smoothly anyway.
"A yearning for light, a hope for the future, a longing for a better tomorrow..."
These powers originating from the heart can come together and become part of my inner armor.
As the administrator, he often showed his face to the residents of the settlement carrying the Dawn Spear. Evan could feel that his weapon was still absorbing those beliefs and slowly growing.
"So here's the question: without mental armor, can these beliefs still be absorbed and gathered together?"
What will hope and light—these positive beliefs—become? And what will despair and fear—bring?
Because of the Heartfire, the power of mental armor, and the research on the mental level, Evan can say that he is the strongest in this era.
Therefore, a terrible guess came to his mind.
