Primordial Awakening: They Targeted My Daughter, I Became The Butcher!
Chapter 57: A New Day
A new day.
Tension hung in Cold Moon District after the events of the previous day.
First, it was the death of more than 200 people. After that, all the dungeons within the city were cleared.
Even ones that popped out here and there were cleared out within seconds.
After that, there was a mass destructive attack the previous day.
Citizens were already beginning to panic concerning what had been transpiring within the city for the past few days.
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended upon Cold Moon District.
The pressure only lasted for an instant before vanishing.
Briefly turning around, Amon glanced up at the skies.
Just now, he’d sensed an aura that had far surpassed the president’s own.
’It seems a powerhouse has arrived in Cold Moon District.’
Amon’s eyes flashed coldly as he gradually walked to the sitting room.
His danger sense, which was akin to a divine sense sweeping through the entire city, didn’t find any sense of danger, so he wasn’t worried for now.
Not placing it to heart, Amon called up the system. It was time to sign in for today.
He was immediately curious about what rewards he might receive from today’s sign-in.
’System, it’s time to sign in.’
[Ding!]
[Congratulations on signing in. You have received two rewards.]
[1. Time Bracelet (Rank: Unknown)]
[Description: Sensing the master’s urge to interact with the Time Witch, the Time Bracelet has been assigned. By wearing this bracelet, you can attract the gaze of the one who peers through countless timelines, searching for her lost loved one.]
Amon leaned forward slightly, a look of curiosity tracing his features.
He was startled by the fact that he could now attract the attention of the little girl.
The only problem was that the system didn’t specify when she would arrive, so Amon could only wait.
He let out a sigh and glanced at the second reward from the sign-in.
The second reward appeared beneath the first.
[Ding!]
[2. Dungeon Compass]
[Rank: A]
[Description: A mysterious compass capable of detecting hidden dungeons, secret realms, spatial cracks, and undiscovered inheritances within a certain range.]
Amon’s eyes lit up.
Compared to abilities or combat-related treasures, this reward was far more subtle.
Yet he immediately understood its value.
Strength could be acquired through many means.
But opportunities were rare.
Many powerful hunters spent their entire lives searching for hidden inheritances and secret dungeons.
Some never found a single one.
Yet now he possessed an item specifically designed to locate them.
Amon summoned the compass into his hand.
It appeared ancient and weathered.
Silver engravings covered its surface while countless tiny runes rotated around the edge.
The moment it appeared, the needle began spinning wildly.
Amon frowned slightly, then thought of something and glanced at the system.
He still had seven fate points, so why not just go ahead and upgrade the compass to God-rank?
Amon calculated in his heart, and after a momentary hesitation, he decided to go along with his plan.
Instantly, a point vanished and it became an S-rank treasure. Another point vanished and it became an SS-rank treasure. A third vanished and it was now an SSS-rank treasure.
Spending two more fate points, a ripple spread through the air, spreading out into the surroundings with alarming intensity.
Everyone felt revitalized under the weight of this divine embrace.
A warm current swept across the entirety of Cold Moon District.
Flowers bloomed slightly brighter.
Trees swayed gently despite the absence of wind.
Even the mana in the atmosphere seemed to become richer and denser.
Ordinary citizens who had been exhausted from work suddenly felt refreshed.
Hunters who had sustained hidden injuries over the years discovered that their bodies felt lighter than before.
Some people even broke through minor bottlenecks they had been stuck at for months.
The phenomenon lasted only a few seconds.
Yet its effects left countless people stunned.
Within the Hunter Association headquarters, several experts abruptly stood from their seats.
"What was that?"
"A treasure?"
"No... that felt far beyond an ordinary treasure."
Shock appeared on every face.
Even the President slowly narrowed his eyes as he glanced into the distance.
Levi, who was outside Cold Moon District, felt the vague fluctuations and was startled, his mind filled with alarm.
Meanwhile, within the shadows, the old man guarding Kayla suddenly opened his eyes.
A look of astonishment flashed through them.
"God-rank..."
His voice was barely above a whisper.
Fortunately, the aura had only leaked for an instant before being perfectly restrained.
Otherwise, the entire continent might have sensed its appearance.
The appearance of a God-rank treasure was something that this lower world couldn’t understand yet!
Back inside the apartment, Amon stared at the compass.
The ancient object had undergone a complete transformation.
The weathered bronze surface had vanished.
In its place was a flawless silver-white compass that seemed to have been forged from condensed starlight.
Countless runes drifted around it like miniature galaxies.
The needle itself had transformed into a tiny beam of golden light.
Most shocking of all was the faint pressure it emitted.
It felt less like a treasure and more like a living existence.
[Ding!]
[Dungeon Compass has successfully evolved.]
[Current Rank: God]
[New abilities unlocked.]
[Divine Mapping]
[Inheritance Detection]
[Realm Identification]
[Spatial Locking]
[Anomaly Prediction]
Amon’s eyes flickered.
The additional abilities alone justified the expenditure of his fate points.
Unlike combat skills, treasures such as this became more valuable the stronger he grew.
After all, strength without opportunities was meaningless.
Now that the compass had reached God-rank, even hidden inheritances left behind by divine beings would have difficulty escaping its detection.
Amon carefully examined the treasure before taking a slow breath.
"Let’s see what secrets you’re hiding."
He infused a strand of mana into the compass.
Instantly, the countless runes orbiting its surface lit up.
The golden needle began spinning at a terrifying speed.
Space rippled.
The compass floated into the air.
A faint map gradually materialized before Amon’s eyes.
Countless dots appeared across the surrounding regions.
Most were grey.
A few were blue.
Several were purple.
Then Amon’s gaze locked onto a single point.
Far to the northeast.
A brilliant golden light blazed upon the map like a miniature sun.
The moment it appeared, every other marker dimmed in comparison.
[Ding!]
[Highest priority target detected.]
[Calculating...]
[Calculating...]
[Warning.]
[Target exceeds current analysis capabilities.]
Amon’s expression became strange.
Even after reaching God-rank, the compass still couldn’t fully analyze it?
The golden point pulsed softly.
As though calling out to him.
At the same time, the compass needle abruptly stopped.
It pointed firmly toward the northeast.
[Ding!]
[A hidden spatial anomaly has been detected.]
[Distance: 37 kilometers.]
[Estimated rank: Unknown.]
Amon slowly stood up.
The curiosity in his eyes deepened.
For something to evade even a God-rank treasure’s analysis...
Whatever lay beyond that location was undoubtedly extraordinary.
Amon deliberated for a long time, deciding whether he should head there or not.
In the end, he understood something.
Even the God-rank Demon Lord had been able to kill him.
In essence, he was still not strong enough to handle it.
Now his priority was to reach SSS-rank as soon as possible.
At SSS-rank, Amon knew that with his Supreme Divine Physique, he would be able to slaughter gods like chickens.
A contemplative light appeared in his eyes as he closed the compass and stored it within the system space for later.
At this moment, a cold voice echoed throughout Cold Moon District.
It was loud, but it didn’t resound thunderously in everyone’s ears.
It was as though the person speaking was closer than ever.
"Butcher, I have a proposal for you."
After a long journey, Levi had arrived at Cold Moon District.
What he didn’t know was that Amon’s present strength had long since surpassed his president.
