"Neither the king spirits in his employ, nor Nine Emperor himself, saw the Night Cloak coming . Even you wouldn't be able to detect someone wearing it," Dragon King said .
Han Sen was delighted, so much so, he didn't even care for Dragon King's explanation being in a condescending tone . If the item was as good as he said, he really had stumbled upon a most extraordinary treasure .
"This cannot be as flimsy as the Night Flag, surely . " Han Sen gave the Night Cloak a firm tug . Fortunately, it did not tear . He applied more strength, and still the Night Cloak remained strong .
"Great . So, how do I use it?" Han Sen looked at Dragon King and asked .
"Well, it can only be used at night . It's faithful to its namesake, but when equipped, you'll be completely invisible," Dragon King concisely explained .
"Hmm, okay . What about dark locations, such as in caves?" Han Sen asked, as he looked at the skies, realizing the day was still young .
"Nope, there's no cheating there . It's called the Night Cloak because it is meant to be used at night . " Dragon King pointed towards the bannerman then, and said, "The reason she wanted a team of bannermen, was so night could be called upon whenever . She wanted darkness to come when she needed it . She was by far the strongest emperor or empress the Third God's Sanctuary has ever known, when it came to strength during the night . Even Ancient Devil Emperor avoided her and made sure to stay out of her way . "

Han Sen put the cloak away, eager to give it a go later that night .
Han Sen continued to dig around for a while longer, to see if he could find anything else . He had an unquenchable thirst for treasure, and he always wanted more . But unfortunately for him, there was nothing extra to be found .
Han Sen wanted to take the stone back to the shelter .
So, he asked for all the help he could get . Even Bao'er pitched in, sitting on the stone to play and boost their morale . Eventually, it was successfully brought into the shelter .
It may have looked useless, but Han Sen couldn't shake the nagging feeling that there was something special about it . The Valley of Time warped the flow of time completely, so something quite grand must have occurred there sometime in the distant past .
Furthermore, the stone appeared to have been cut through with a weapon . Han Sen couldn't wear a single scratch into the slab, so it was near-frightening for him to imagine what manner of creature or person had been able to split the stone in two . Han Sen used to be very proud of the power he possessed, but now, he wasn't so sure he should be .
The little Metal Eater continued to follow Han Sen around, even after entering the shelter . It was a great opportunity . If he moved the shelter, the baby Metal Eater would go with Han Sen, enabling a flawless and no-trouble kidnapping .
But Dragon King did mention Metal Eaters loved to exact revenge . If Han Sen stole their baby, there was a chance the family would come after him . Kidnapping could prove dangerous .

Han Sen dwelled on the subject of whether or not he should, but ultimately decided to keep the little creature .
When the shelter door was closed, Moment Queen moved the shelter .
"Metal Eater bros; I'm taking the kid for a ride . I'll bring him back when I'm done with him," Han Sen told no one, in an attempt to flimsily establish a poor justification for kidnapping a baby .
No matter how strong the Metal Eaters were, though, they couldn't do anything if they couldn't find Han Sen .
Han Sen didn't plan to hurt the Metal Eater, however . He had plans to train the Metal Eater so it could become his second meatshield . Slowly but surely, he was establishing a convoy of damage-soaking tanks .
The small Metal Eater played around in the shelter for a few days, but it eventually got bored and showed signs of wanting to leave .
So, Han Sen decided to visit the Alliance and ordered as much scrap metal as he could . He brought it back into the sanctuary to see if the Metal Eater wanted it .

The gift was much appreciated . The Metal Eater leaped onto the metal and rolled around in it . The little creature appreciated every scrap of metal it was brought each day, and it especially enjoyed z-steel . It hugged scraps of z-steel as it went to sleep, each and every day .
With it being tempted with so much metal-candy, the little creature no longer wanted to leave the shelter .
After a few days, though, the metal it was given would become rusted . When the metal lost its luster, the Metal Eater no longer wanted it . So, Han Sen had to keep on bringing in more . He observed the Metal Eater's reaction to each piece he brought, to see which it liked the most .
And Han Sen noticed it really did enjoy z-steel raw stones . Fortunately for him, they did not rust as quickly, either .
The Metal Eater didn't physically consume metal . Whenever it was in proximity to a piece of metal, it would just absorb the essence and properties of the material .
Ordinary metals only lasted a few days, but z-steel raw stones lasted a long time .
"Metal Kid, go!"
Han Sen threw a stick-shaped hunk of z-steel .
The Metal Eater happily ran to catch it .
Bao'er sat on a chair as this occurred, munching on snacks . She watched the two play about .
Queen glimpsed at the duo and gave a strange look but nothing more . She never thought a super creature could actually be trained in such a manner . Queen did not like Han Sen doing that, though . It was as if he was training a dog, but it did surprise her to see the Metal Eater enjoy its treatment .
Unfortunately, though, the stick of z-steel was never returned after being caught . This disheartened Han Sen quite a bit, as z-steel was pretty expensive to procure .
Han Sen tried replacing the z-steel with a different metal, but the Metal Eater had grown used to the finer variety . It only wanted the high-quality stuff . Han Sen chucked it plenty of alloys, but Metal Kid did little more than glance at it disapprovingly .
Han Sen would have kicked it out a long time ago, had he not thought it to be a useful creature .
The only overwhelming positive so far was that the other Metal Eaters hadn't come after them . But for hunting more super creatures, Han Sen planned to move elsewhere .
Han Sen could only have the shelter moved once a day, so he occasionally returned to the Alliance to rest . He also prepared to send the kid away .
