Manuel was astonished!'How did she manage to hit me through the barrier of lightning?!?'His martial art focused on defense, logically speaking, it had to match Lucinda's attacks.However, Lucinda still successfully hit him.He didn't know that after her second time witnessing that technique, Lucinda could clearly see through its weak spots.'Being a rank 2 beast is wonderful. The speed of my thoughts increased drastically and I can notice details that I was completely ignorant about!'She felt that he could see through everything!Some merit must be addressed to her battle experience though, seeing a weakness and exploiting it were two different things after all."Do you surrender or you want to see if my "Breath" will last till I hit your throat?"Lucinda mocked him with his own words.She was holding back, not using any of her new spells.She was sure that, after that match, her name would be widely known so she wanted to hide at all cost her power and, most importantly, the natur

She had a lot of memories of her battles.From the first time when he fought the rank 1 Four-eyes wolves to her recent fight in the arena, her combat style has always focused on two qualities: speed and sharpness.She tried to imprint her meaning of sharpness on the dark lake, concentrating on the memories where she killed her enemies in one blow.The refinement process took a long time.She had to first synchronize her mental energy with her idea of sharpness and then mix more mental energy in the dark lake to align the nature of the "Breath" with the one that she had set.Another week passed, with Ivor calmly standing right next to her, waiting for the results of her refinement.On the night of the seventh day, Lucinda opened her eyes and stretched and her arms in front of her.Over her palm, a blue liquid floated peacefully.Every drop in the small pond resembled a small blade and a faint sense of sharpness was exuded from it.Ivor immediately neared the liquid and carefully inspec

'This should be the best that I can hope for with my current experience.'Sara thought, analyzing the "Breath" in her sea of consciousness.'Let's try to forge with this.'Another bone of Sun tiger appeared in her hand.Lucinda carefully manipulated a small part of the "Breath" in her mental sphere and slowly inserted it in the bone.It immediately started cracking, the piece of the beast was opposing that foreign substance.However, Lucinda controlled the "Breath" to force the item to stay still, using her mental energy and "Breath" in the dantian to envelop the bone.A black membrane appeared around the item in her hand.That was one of the incubating methods described in the forging procedures.With the membrane around it, the bone could not break toward the outside and was forced to mix with Sara's "Breath".Its color changed, from a pale white with shades of red, it became darker, turning gray with purple tones.Lucinda then controlled it to change shape.Inside the incubating me

It's not that Samuel didn't have techniques or spells to avoid the attack but the surprise effect paired with the fear that he felt due to Lucinda's presence left him defenseless for a moment.And that moment was exactly what Lucinda exploited.The head of the noble dug the terrain and a faint trace of blood came out of it.Lucinda raised Samuel's head from its hair and waited for his reaction."Why did you do this!? Who the fuck do you th-"His phrase was interrupted since Lucinda smashed the head back in the ground.She raised it again and waited."You better be care-"Lucinda slammed it back in the pit and pulled it out."Wait! I'm sorry! I will never talk behind your back again!"Samuel's face was covered with blood and terrain with some trace of tears in his eyes.Lucinda released his hair and smiled toward him, lightly patting his shoulder."Was that so hard? Next time I catch you doing something like this, I will gladly test at what depth the ground becomes harder than your hea

'What the fuck is that?'The guys had an excited smile when they looked at her.One of them gathered courage and stepped toward her."Ehm, dar-, Lord Lucinda, would you like to accompany me on a trip to Arolyac forest? I'm willing to give all my merit-"He couldn't finish her phrase since Lucinda interrupted her with a cold answer."No."Silence enveloped the area.Lucinda uncaringly passed the boy and moved through the crowd to reach her habitation.Yet, she couldn't help but hear the whispers of the boys as she walked through them."Kyaa, have you seen how cool she is! It's the complete opposite of Lord Daniel!""Yes, but Daniel was unreachable for us. Lord Lucinda doesn't care about noble status.""I want her to scold me so badly but I can't even face her, I feel like fainting every time I look into her eyes."'These boys are crazy!'Lucinda thought as the unlocked the door of her house."Dark Queen! Would you mind if I came inside and served you some tea? My family is famous for-"

To create an inscribed item with the Elemental forging method, there were many hurdles to surpass.The cultivator had to endure the absorption of the "Breath" with his sea of consciousness that comported a big risk for that center of power.Then, she had to set her will on a specific meaning and imbue the "Breath" with that, otherwise there would be no effect attached to the finished product.After that, it was time for the choice of the materials.The compound had to be something that didn't conflict with the element of the cultivator and that could sustain the activity that it was meant for.For example, you couldn't use a hard material to create a whip, it would simply conflict with the purpose of the item.At the same time, you couldn't use something too soft either, a whip forged that way would just fail to inflict any damage when wielded.The last hurdle was its form.The item had to be shaped according to its future usage: you could forge a sword but, if you didn't manage to sh

"You really like being mysterious."Yaoyao sighed, giving up on probing more about her past."When you find out about me, you can give me your opinion on what I should have done."Lucinda said, receiving another poke from Yaoyao.They continued to talk and drink for the whole night, enjoying their peaceful time together.As the first rays of the dawn entered the room, Sara interrupted her line of thought and focused back on her surroundings.Yaoyao had long fallen asleep on the couch, uncaringly stretching her legs over Sara's waist.'Is this a habit of her? She sure doesn't care about appearances.'Lucinda shook her head, carefully moving her legs away in order to stand up.Yaoyao didn't wake up, it seemed that the wine had relaxed her so much that she didn't even pay attention to the environment around her.A bitter smile appeared on Lucinda's face as she stared at the girl quietly sleeping in front of him.'If my situation was different, I wonder how our relationship would have evo

After explaining the final arrangements to Ivor, Lucinda made her move as they bother rode the carriage out of the Sect's premises and into the gown as they travelled towards the outskirts.Thirty hooded figures exited a tavern together and ran toward the mountain path, outside of the capital.Meanwhile, right outside the city, on the opposite side from where the group from the Royal family went.Sixty men wearing the emblem of the Aldophus pack marched at a steady pace inside the town.Aldophus was in the center of the group, he was wearing an anxious expression and his eyes darted every time he heard a loud sound."Young master, please calm down. It's just a low rate pack it shouldn't be any problem for our team."Jake was right at his side, whispering with a soft voice to his ear.The soldiers around them were simple guards, unaware of the reasons for their being assembled.If they knew that they were against Alpha Calhoun's pack, their determination might crumble and they might

Peak of the third rank of the body at the age of nineteen and a half!That was an incredible feat!Most of it though was due to the Forging of the Seven Hells in which Lucinda had trained in his childhood.Unorthodox techniques had a faster pace of training but required for the cultivator to undergo risky procedures.The Forging of the Seven Hells had endangered Lucinda's life many times, it was no wonder that he could reach the peak of the third rank at such a young age.'Now, I need to store "Breath" through my whole body.'A lot of energy was required for the reconstruction of the body and, of course, the best source of energy of that world was the marvelous "Breath".Lucinda resumed her cultivation, she had to be sure that her body was filled with "Breath" before she attempted in the reconstruction.One week passed uneventfully, with Lucinda focusing each night concentrating on the Yin body and using the rest of the day to sleep.Rest was necessary during that process, the body ne

Lucinda's life became quite engaging. She would still maintain her usual training routine most of the time but, at specific intervals, her presence was requested in Kurt's hunting group to organize and plan their next mission. They would usually hunt twice a month and only in danger zones where they were sure that the number of rank 4 magical beasts was not too high. Lucinda was a burden for them after all, they couldn't risk being ganged up by several strong creatures. That's why their focus was on the lone packs in specific areas, they had to be sure that nothing unexpected could happen. It had to be said though that Lucinda wasn't completely useless. The group of hunters soon discovered that, during the planning phase, her insights on the behavior of the magical beasts were extremely valuable, so much that Ada would often ask for her opinion. There was a time when they had to face two packs of Hellish hounds both led by a rank 4 magical beast. Lucinda suggested for the two s

Another wave of attacks crashed on the Shrinking elephant once it was on the ground, when dealing with a rank 4 creature, it was better not to take any chance.The magical beast was laying on the ground, its skin was torn everywhere and its gray flesh sprouted blood on the terrain.Newton and Kurt hit repeatedly its head for a while before they stopped seeing that life was abandoning it."Lucinda, it's safe now!"Kurt shouted seeing that the elephant was about to die.Lucinda didn't hesitate and ran at full speed toward the battlefield.She had come prepared: she was wearing a black robe that featured long and large sleeves that completely hid her hands.That allowed her to perform the Blood drain spell as she ran without being noticed by the others in her group."Turn."Lucinda ordered once he arrived next to Kurt.Snorts could be heard coming from some of the hunters, yet, under Kurt's admonishing gaze, they all turned and left Lucinda alone with the beast.Only when he was sure tha

Recognizing the danger before it was too late was one of the key aspects of survival.Hunters generally relied on reports and on their senses to understand if an area was too dangerous or if a pack had rank 4 magical beasts among them.That's why many of them just ignored the study of traces or weren't adept in that field, the senses of a cultivator were generally enough to recognize beings of such might.Yet, having more information could only be considered an advantage, no matter how small it was."This is indeed surprising, I had to hunt in this area for a month before becoming able to recognize the rank of those beasts by their footprints. The academy is worthy of its fame."Ada praised before continuing with her questions."And, what do you think will it be the best approach against them?"Lucinda's answer came immediately."In their reduced size, they are too dangerous because they can maintain the same strength behind each attack while removing the weakness of their huge frame.

In the main hall of the Hunter's guild, a dozen cultivators were sitting around Lucinda's.Some of them were shouting and pointing at him, others were angrily drinking from their jugs, it didn't seem that the conversation was peaceful."No, I won't stop. No, I don't care if you can't gain Credits due to my behavior. If you can't match my hunting speed, you should just consider changing your profession. Is this clear enough for you?"Lucinda said calmly.She had sold the magical beasts' corpses and then joined the other hunters on their table.Yet, as soon as the conversation started, she was asked to slow her killing of rank 3 magical beasts.It was obvious that there had been a lot of complaints after her initial refusal for the conversation to reach that point."Impudent! We have families here in the capital! We have maintained ourselves for decades hunting magical beasts! I won't accept that a new hunter, that gained his entry with the help of the Royals, will ruin my job!"Many hu

Lucinda's biggest issue in using the Blood drain spell to boost her body's strength was that she could only use rank 3 magical beasts in the process.Rank 4 creatures gave more nourishment but she simply didn't have the power to fight them.What happened with Abel was a fluke, his physical strength was in the third rank and he was also injured, making him the perfect target for Lucinda's spells.However, magical beasts had a far stronger body than cultivators, Lucinda didn't have the confidence to beat the latter let alone the beasts.'I guess, I'll be forced to strive for quantity over quality.'Lucinda thought.She was inspecting the various boards listing the hunting zones in the Hunter's guild.'They are quite crowded, as expected.'She sighed internally as she inspected the low-danger areas featuring large numbers of rank 3 beasts.'Basically, all the hunters that can't join parties hunting rank 4 creatures are here.'There were a lot of names next to those zones, Lucinda guessed

Eliminating the unstable parts would reduce the effective power of the item but it made possible for the forging to continue.Lucinda's attention was completely on the internal composition of his creation.Every time she saw signs of instability, she would manipulate that specific part to separate from the core.Little by little, the item in her hands reached the length of a Moon needle.Yet, the forging was not complete.The toxic smoke continued to corrode the bone, forcing Lucinda to cut even more pieces from it.From the size of a needle to the one of a small shard.From a shard to a fingernail.From a fingernail to nothing.The item completely turned into dust, the forging had failed.However, Lucinda was excited.'Finally, it didn't explode! This is the right method to forge with my current materials, I just have to accept that I can't create a complete weapon while I have a rank 3 body.'What she was aiming for with those processes was to gather experience toward what would eve

On one side, there were the nobles that wanted more power and wanted to dethrone the Elbas family.They tried to probe a reaction from the Royals to understand their line of rule and sent one of the heirs of a large-size noble family for the mission.One the other one, there were the Royals that wanted to maintain control over their subjects.They could not personally attack Samuel's group because doing that would lead to a public uproar but they also wanted to limit the growth of the other noble families.That's why they used the criminals that they were gathering for the creation of a hidden army.In a world where birthright decided most of your future, there was an overabundance of individuals that broke the rules in order to become stronger.Those individuals were under the control of Lady Chen's' branch of the Royal family.Lucinda clearly understood why the Royals needed to create such an army.'There are too many noble families. No matter how strong they are or for how long the

'It's over.'Lucinda heaved a sigh and looked around her.The signs of the battle were clearly shown on the terrain.Large red puddles covered the ground and corpses filled the environment.The mountain path had been ruined, holes and marks were everywhere on the terrain, normal carriages could not cross that road anymore.'I should first gather all the valuable things and then rest. Even with a rank 2 dantian, I'm almost out of "Breath".'Lucinda went to every corpse on the ground and searched for storage devices or valuable items.The soldiers of the Calhoun's family had no space-rings and their weapons could only be sold for pieces of gold so he simply ignored them.By selling one Obsidian Credit, one could obtain a large amount of gold, that currency had completely lost any value in Lucinda's eyes.The only exceptions in that group were Abel and Samuel from whom Lucinda obtained three space-rings.As for the cultivators recruited by the Royal family, their situations were poor.Mo
