That kind of ability was simply to conveninent! The thought alone lifted his mood even further.

[Artifact: Suppression Ring]
Type: Accessory / Concealment
Item Grade: Legendary
Description: A finely crafted ring designed to suppress and mask the wearer's true power. When worn, it conceals the user's aura and interferes with both magical perception and scanning abilities. Any probes directed at the wearer will only detect the mana core stage set by the user, regardless of their actual strength. The ring does not reduce the wearer's real power—only how it is perceived. Its suppression can be adjusted freely, allowing the user to appear weak, average, or deceptively competent.
Cost: 20,000 SP
He didn't even stop to think about it. The decision was instant.
