"H-hey, is this thing real, did we read it incorrectly?" Shadow said in a stutter as he stared at the dagger that was currently being held by Beast.

The dagger was nothing special, in fact, it looked like a rusty old dagger that one would simply throw away after finding it.

There was no aura that one could feel from the dagger, and neither would one think it was sharp as the edge was chipped and the dagger even had cracks on it.

But what the system said was that this dagger, this small thing that looked like it would break after someone was to simply touch it, could kill a Transcendent being?

"What does it mean when it says the 5th cleansing?" Tank asked as everybody shrugged their shoulders.

They had heard that there were differences between Transcendents, that they had something similar like tiers, but they had no idea how many there were or how they worked.

"It's probably something like Tiers, but that gives us nothing since we don't know how many they have in their realm, if it's like us, then there would be a total of 10, which means this dagger can kill a bunch of Transcendents, as there were probably a lot of them that were below the middle."

"Should we ask Eldar and Jack about this?"

"I'm not sure, they have been helping us out ever since the game started, but there's no telling whether they would try to do anything after learning that we have something like this, even though we have been with them for a long period of time, we still have no idea of who they really are." Reign said as the others all nodded in agreement.

They did trust Eldar and Jack, but the trust went to the extent of the current situation of the game, showing them an item that could potentially even kill them was not something they wanted to risk.

None of them knew the true extent of their powers, but just the glimpses they had shown before made it clear that they were incredibly powerful. Even know, after reaching Tier I and being very close to Tier II, none of them were confident in fighting against the incredibly weakened Transcendents.

"Can you put it in the inventory?" Reign asked Beast who nodded at him before the dagger disappeared.

"It goes directly to my personal inventory, it seems like it's impossible to put it in the group inventory," Beast said with a confused look on his face.

[ Powerful items such as this are prohibited to be shared, only the person that had received it may use it and store it in the inventory. ]

The system suddenly spoke, prompting the others to all nod their heads. It made sense, if an item that was this powerful were to land in the hands of somebody that had bad intentions, none of them would survive. Well, one would definitely die as it seems like the dagger could only be used once.

"Did Drayce put this here on purpose?" Shadow asked as Reign shook his head.

"I doubt it, it was probably Beast's incredible luck that allowed him to get something like this, not even Drayce could have purposely planted something as powerful as this here, hell, this dagger might even be able to kill him." Reign said before getting up.

"I'm gonna build that temple."

The others all nodded before leaving the building together with Reign.

The territory still had a lot of unused buildings, and there were many ruins as well. The monsters had certainly done a number of the city and the inhabitants of the territory slowly worked towards cleaning the broken and destroyed houses.

There were a couple of empty areas in the territory, Reign had created them by using his powers, but he didn't clean everything up in the territory as he thought that letting the people do it would bring them closer.

His thoughts were mostly correct as the inhabitants of the territory truly did start bonding and grew closer to each other after some time. There were some arguments over how to do some things, but they mostly ended amicably.

Reign picked a spot before using the building permit, a holographic building appeared in front of him, and he was surprised by its size.

The building was small, it was as big as a normal-sized house. Compared to the other buildings he had created, it was many times smaller. Even if it had a spatial array and the size inside was larger, he doubted it would be a lot bigger since there were limits to the array, right?

Reign decided to build it, and the moment he did so, a notification appeared.

[ Buddhist Temple built. ]

[ The priest Drayce wishes to serve as the head priest, do you agree? ]

"The hell?" Reign suddenly blurted out as he stared at the temple.

"That bastard, he did this on purpose, didn't he?"

"What are you talking about bro?" Shadow asked Reign who promptly explained what had happened.

"He planted it, he must have, that bastard did all of this on purpose, damn am I glad that Beast got that dagger, Drayce must be hurting because of it" Shadow said before he started laughing after imagining Drayce's frustrated face.

"Yeah, I agree, that permit was definitely planted by Drayce, but to think he was a Buddhist priest, I would have never guessed," Wolf said before shrugging his shoulders.

"So, are you going to agree to his request?" Beast asked Reign who sighed.

"I guess so, I don't see any disadvantages that it would bring us, except for the fact that we would have his annoying ass so close to us, but having another Transcendent in the territory definitely wouldn't hurt, right?" Reign asked the others who simply shrugged their shoulders.

"Alright, let's get this over with." Reign said as he accepted Drayce's request.

[ Buddhist Temple construction finished, the priest Drayce has been chosen as the head priest. ]

[ The Buddhist Temple of the Ashen Priests will allow the players to go in and calm their minds before or after a battle. ]

[ The Ashen Priests are members of the battle priests and their service can be employed by the owner of the territory. ]

Ding!

[ Territory announcement! ]

[ The class 'Ashen Battlepriest' will now be available to all, the players can choose to change the class at any time simply by going inside the temple. ]

[ The players can enter the temple and spar with the battle priests inside after donating a small fee, the faculties of the temple will be mostly open to the players and the trainers will be available to teach skills. ]

[ Be warned, however, the training that Ashen Battlepriests go through is not something most can handle, and most of the skills the trainers can teach will be locked for those that do not have the class 'Ashen Battlepriest' ]

[ The player can use S Coins to employ the service of the battle priest to help the territory out during difficult times ]

The barrage of notifications left Reign and the others stunned. Most of them knew of battle priests, the ancient Shaolin priests were one of them, not to mention the huge number of games that offered the class to people to play with.

None of them had expected that the temple would actually have something like this, they merely expected to see priests walking around and spreading peace and love, there might have even been some bonuses to the territory if they were lucky.

But no, what they had gotten was much, much more valuable.

Ding!

[ The Transcendent 'Drayce' has taken over as the head priest, the territory will enjoy the benefits of the holy light. ]

[ People that spend 2 hours in the territory will have their minds cleansed of negative emotions and will have a slight resistance to soul-based attacks for the next hour. ]

[ People that spend over 24 hours in the territory will have an increase of 3% to all their stats while having a light resistance to soul-based attacks for the next 5 hours. ]

[ Battlepriests that stayed in the temple for over 5 hours will see an increase of 5% to all their stats and will have a light resistance to soul-based attacks for the next 7 hours. ]

More notifications appeared in front of Reign and the others, as they did to everybody that was a part of the territory.

The bonuses one would get simply by staying in the territory were not huge, but they were free and had a good duration.

The ones that would receive the most benefits would be those that had chosen the new class since they would not only gain resistance to soul-based attacks but would have their stats increased by 5% for a whole 7 hours.

That alone would probably be enough for some people to change their class and join the temple.

Reign and the others stared at the temple as its doors opened. A gray robe-wearing Drayce appeared at the door. He beckoned them to enter before disappearing inside the temple.
