"An artifact for disguising...?" Souta said as he looked at the artifact.

"Yes, you can alter your appearance to that of a human but it will decrease your abilities to some extent," Alice explained to him the function of the artifact. The limit and the things that he could do with it.

"I see. Then, it will help a lot." Souta said as he wore the artifact and registered it in his system as "equip" so that he could see its effect.

Looking at the details of the artifact, it seems that Alice was right. He could alter his appearance with this but it couldn't hide his real appearance from the eyes of a god-level powerhouse or a person with high perception.

He activated the effect of the bracelet and his body emitted a dim white light. After a few moments, the light disappeared and it revealed Souta's appearance.

Souta looked at Alice and asked, "How is it?"

"Nothing change aside from your skin tone. You look like a real human." Alice answered him.

"Is that so...?" Souta said as he looked at his system and saw his current appearance. He was quite shocked by it. He looked exactly the same person when he was still living on earth.

The only difference was that his hair was longer than "him" on the earth and he was shorter right now.

"Good. Let's go back now." Souta was quite satisfied with this artifact. He didn't think that Alice has this kind of artifact that was perfect for disguising.

"Okay." Alice nodded and she glanced at the dead bodies in the surrounding. "What about these corpses?"

"We'll burn them," Souta replied as he casted his [Fire Ball] spell on the corpses.

After burning the bodies, the two went back to the place where they left Yuko. They didn't forget to bring the corpse of the giant snake.

The two set up a camp and roasted the meat of the snake. They eat the meat along with Yuko. The meat tasted good even without condiments.

From the information that they've gathered, this forest was vast. The place they were in was a small part of the Great Tunbra Forest.

Surrounding this vast forest was three countries. This forest became the border of the three dominant countries and because of this, war didn't occur between these countries.

It wasn't easy to cross this forest as countless powerful monsters were living in this forest and the most ferocious one was a dragon. Dragons were at the top of the food chain in this world.

Everyone feared the overwhelming power of the dragons. Even the three dominant countries feared the existence of dragons that's why they couldn't organize a large army to go through the forest.

The dragon of this world must be a third evolution or fourth evolution. The power of the second evolution monster was already powerful for them. Plus, the giant snake before was only an ordinary second evolution. It wasn't a rare species in Imperium at all. It wasn't even mutated but the bandit leader said that it will take an army to defeat that snake.

It means that the power level of this world was too low. Hero-rank, SSS-rank, and fifth evolution couldn't be seen in this world. Souta wasn't even sure if there were people that reached SS-rank or S-rank.

Souta drew a large circle on the ground and said, "This is the Great Tunbra Forest and we're here in this part." He then drew a small circle at the southwest part of the circle.

The three strongest countries were called Condifan Empire, Gyunar Republic, and Linca Empire.

The Gyunar Republic was a country of humans. It was founded by extremely powerful humans fifty years ago. In just a few decades, a newly built country reached the height that others could only dream about.
