While Golden observed how Wyba happily ate the black wolf's flesh, Kermu started to talk with him."I suspected it when you were battling those weak beasts, but you really reached the expert stage, right?"Golden wasn't surprised that Kermu had noticed it because he also detected Kermu's level."Indeed, I reached it just before coming here. I can sense that you also reached it."Kermu was indeed worthy of being a genius from a noble clan. Reaching the expert stage at such a young age wasn't common."We should have some sparring after coming out of the Special Realm, finding someone of my generation who also reached the expert stage is far too difficult.""I will be glad to spar with you once we leave the Special Realm."As both of them liked to compare their respective sword techniques with others at their same level, sparring was a must.However, the Special Realm wasn't a good place for sparring.Since in the previous battle, all the guys had received some injuries, Serka started to
The battle hadn't been like they had predicted, but Golden's performance at the end of the fight gave Kermu the opportunity to finish the eagle.Before anyone could say anything about the battle's result, Golden rushed towards Wyba and carried her to the eagle's corpse. Then, he soaked her in the eagle's blood and forced her to drink it before casting Time Healing.The eagle's blood started to fuse with Wyba while Golden used Emergency Recovery to recover his Origin Points to be able to use Time Healing, the Origin Points he had at that moment weren't enough to cast Time Healing due to the consumption in the battle.After casting the spell, the system sent another notification."The user's beast is recovered and entered in a slumber."As Golden heard the system's notification, he smiled. Wyba being safe was something more important for him than obtaining any reward after killing the eagle.Golden had surpassed his limits in that battle. He overused Bloodline Force and his Origin Point
Golden had difficulties to believe Serka's words.The academy obtained for the first time a chance to go to a Special Realm, and Golden met the qualifications to go.Then after entering the realm, Golden joined a group of nobles in which one of the members was his cousin who discovered his mother identity.That didn't feel natural. Golden couldn't believe that he managed to discover that information so casually or that he managed to meet his cousin that easily.However, there was undeniable that he and Ange were able to use Time Healing, and that meant that they have the Zhan Clan's bloodline.Golden had seen how the other nobles reacted when Serka said that he used Time Healing. Thus, Golden believed that at least the part of Time Healing being a spell from the Zhan Clan was true.As for really being Serka's cousin, at the moment, Golden only had her word, so he wasn't sure, but he wouldn't say it in a loud voice.After all, he didn't want to have a bad relationship with anyone in th
Even though Kermu didn't say anything to the others, he continued thinking about the topic.He discovered that there were many reasons for what someone would want to help Golden by approaching him to Serka and thus to the Zhan Clan's faction who supported his mother.The time-based skill Golden had used before wasn't worse than his own space-based technique, any of the ancestors from the Zhan Clan would be interested in him.Other clans would also want to help him even if it was only to do a favor to the Zhan Clan. After all, the Zhan Clan had the best healers of the empire, so doing favors to them was always a good thing, and the other clans wouldn't let such opportunity pass if they were the first ones in discovering that Golden belonged to the Zhan Clan.Time Healing could save anyone's life as long as that person wasn't dead, and the Zhan Clan had a monopoly of Time Healing.Any Zhan Clan's descendant who managed to use Time Healing would belong only to the Zhan Clan, no matter wh
Everyone had agreed to leave the forest zone, so they started to look for a path to reach another area.On their way, they tried to fly for short amounts of time to get more accustomed to flying with the Wind Wings spell. Wyba wasn't able to fly, so she remained at the top of Golden's head while they were flying, she seemed to enjoy it a lot.Before reaching the next zone, Golden had managed to increase Wind Wings to the second level.The group spent two days to reach the next area. However, that area was all submerged in water.The only way to advance was to swim or fly, but their Wind Wings wouldn't be able to last enough to cross the entire area."Do we keep going by swimming across, or do we go back and look for another way?"Kermu asked because he wasn't proficient at battling in water. If some aquatic monster attacked them, they would face a difficult situation."I am able to battle inside the water, but I am the healer of the group. If I am the only one battling, our chances to
Golden couldn't mistake that laugh. That was Heruk's voice.However, another laugh sounded just after that, which meant that Heruk wasn't alone.After hearing that laugh, Kermu was who had a strange face because that time, he was the one who knew to who belonged that laugh.The group advanced until they saw the other party, Heruk was in a group of eight, they had more people than Golden's group.Furthermore, there was another guy, but he was lying on the floor in a sorry state, Golden's group didn't know if he was alive or not. However, it was clear the identity of those who left him in such a sorry state.Fortunately, that guy wasn't one of Golden's friends nor had some relation to the other members of the group.However, although he wasn't one of his friends, Golden knew about him. He was the guy who he had beaten in the tournament with one hit when stepping in the expert stage."Hahaha, this is the second one, I only need to kill five more."Hearing Heruk's words, Golden worried ab
"I know that I was the first in showing killing intent towards them, but you were too rash charging forward without previously checking if there were any traps."Golden spoke with a cold tone of voice while sat beside a pile of rocks. Hyrk's impulsiveness had almost killed them all. In fact, they died, but it was nullified by Absolute Protection.At that time, Golden had difficulties in calculating the area of Absolute Protection to save all his teammates without affecting the trap.The pile of rocks had covered the passage between Heruk's area and the area which led to the island.Thus, no one of Heruk's group had seen how all the members of Golden's group reappeared without a scratch after the trap effects ended, nor Golden's group had heard the other group's words after the trap crushed them.Both ways were completely separated after the trap activated, it should be more correct to say that it was impossible from the start to go from one part to the other.Heruk and the others didn
The next area was just the opposite of the previous one. It was a volcanic area, with rivers of magma flowing everywhere and scorching heat."In this place, I will definitely find some legacy that suits me!"Hyrk was excited after seeing the new area, the possibilities of finding some legacy related to fire or earth were exceptionally high due to the volcanic zone's environment.He knew that he should get stronger, or he wouldn't obtain his revenge and restore his honor even if they were to find that shameless group again.However, the only way to get stronger quickly enough to surpass those shameless bastards was to find a legacy that suited him."Although there isn't any problem with just walking across this area, this heat will exhaust us at a fast rate. Nurvey, do you have a spell that can protect us from the heat?"Nurvey didn't reply, but she cast a spell, and immediately everyone felt more refreshed.Golden couldn't avoid thinking that if Kermu had almost everything in his spat
"So what? You have engaged that guy with someone of your clan, but I have engaged Golden with my little sister, so he is almost my brother-in-law. If you want to kill him, you will die under my sword."Durgan disliked the other party, and that was a good moment to announce to more people the fact that he had engaged Golden with his sister, that way, it would be more difficult for Golden to run without trying to meet his sister before.Golden didn't like the reason Durgan gave for helping him because Durgan had used the engagement with his little sister, and that would mean more problems for him later. However, he wouldn't refuse Durgan's help because he was a powerful ally and having him as an ally was equal to having the five members of the Larken Clan as allies."Are you serious? Are you opposing to our Zhan Clan by giving shelter to a traitor?"The Zhan Clan member was enraged, he had already thought that Golden and Serka were dead, but in the end, they were alive, and even Durgan
After being teleported, Aizu was the only one who vomited due to the space-time fluctuations. The fluctuations were even stronger than when they entered the Special Realm, but the nobles were still able to support it due to their training, and Golden's managed to resist it with his skills and mental strength.The room where they appeared was enormous and had a big statue of an old man behind an altar protected by a barrier spell. No one would doubt that it was the statue of the Special Realm's creator.When Golden's group appeared, they weren't the only ones being teleported. Another three groups had also been teleported to the enormous room at the same time.One of those groups was Durgan's group with the other four members of the Larken Clan. It was expected that they managed to reach the end without too many difficulties.However, Golden's group attention focused on another group, Heruk's group. They had also reached the final area, but there was one more person in their group than
The group returned to the tunnel and continued walking for four days until reaching the exit.Thanks to their trap detecting artifacts, they didn't face any problem in those days. Furthermore, all of them used that time to train their Stone Golem spell. After all, using it in an environment full of the earth element was easier.The day they left the tunnel, Golden had managed to improve it until the third level. He didn't know what level Hyrk had reached, but his golem was the best by a huge margin from the others. Hyrk finally was able to show off after all that happened in the Special Realm.The only legacy that suited him before was the Fire Shield, but due to Aizu's incident, he didn't get too much attention by his speed in learning it, and he couldn't use that kind of skill while walking with the others because he could harm his companions.[Vitality points increased to 30 thanks to the sub-quest reward.][Strength points increased to 30 thanks to the sub-quest reward.]After lea
The golems were troublesome opponents as they didn't feel pain and could restore themselves automatically. Battling with them was even more exasperating than fighting with Golden as his regenerative speed was slower than the speed of the golems, and his tolerance to pain was also inferior because the golems couldn't feel pain at all.Furthermore, their defenses were extremely strong, so weak attacks didn't have any effect on themBattling with swords alone wasn't enough to destroy them. Everyone needed to use their best Combined Skills, and even using them, it was still difficult to damage the golems.There were two ways to create a golem. One was with the caster supplying the golem with magic directly. In that case, the golem would be eternal as long as the magic provided by the caster didn't stop.The main weakness of the first type was that the caster didn't have an unlimited supply of magic and could get exhausted. Furthermore, if the caster died, the golem would also disappear.T
Aizu didn't know what to say as she hadn't expected that outcome. If she had known that Durgan would offer his sister to Golden, she wouldn't have opened her mouth.She immediately disliked Durgan because she felt that he was selling his sister and made her remember how her own clan sold her. However, she had to admit that being sold to a genius like Golden was better than being sold to a lewd old man, but she was still against forced marriages.Seeing Aizu's strange face, Durgan added some more words."My sister's bloodline can't be cut off. The purity of her is something unheard in the clan, so she needs to have descendants. That is a benefit for the whole clan. She understands the reasons, and she had already accepted them before we started to look for a suitable partner for her."Durgan felt normal that commoner girls had a bad impression of him after seeing him offering his sister to someone he had just met. Thus, he tried to explain the situation better. Even if it was just a mi
"Greetings, Durgan. Really what a coincidence. You are right. We are also looking for a legacy here."Kermu was happy that the other party was Durgan's group. If it weren't for the Larken Clan's order that forced their five members to group together, Kermu would have invited some of them to his group."I see that you have two new members in your group, you should have recruited them among the commoners, right? Are they good enough to move you?"Kermu couldn't tell Golden's true identity as a Zhan Clan's descendant, and he also didn't want to tell Golden's prowess with the sword. If they knew about it, even revealing his status as a member of the Zhan Clan wouldn't stop the Larken Clan's interest in him."The boy is called Golden, he appeared in the same place as our group and wasn't affected by the space-time passage. He showed a good moral character, so we decided to recruit him."Kermu didn't dare to lie because the Larken Clan hate liars, and they were good at detecting lies, but t
After Aizu woke up and Serka confirmed that she didn't have health issues, Golden lost one of the two main worries he had after the volcanic cave incident.At that moment, he could finally focus on his other worry, his new sub-quest.After finishing the previous one, a new one appeared as usual, but it was completely different from the other sub-quests he had in the past.[Sub-quest details not available. Reward: Unknown.]With that kind of description, Golden didn't know what he would need to do to complete the sub-quest.The last sub-quest was easy to understand and very easy to accomplish in his current situation. The contrast with the one following it was too big.The sub-quests had been quite normal before entering into the Special Realm, but the two sub-quests that appeared inside were different than usual.After all, if Golden hadn't gone to the Special Realm, there was no way he could kill someone, even if that person were evil. The laws of the Nacesai Academy would restrict h
The group started to walk again because they had the intention of leaving the volcanic zone as soon as possible. Golden was again carrying Aizu on his back because everyone had accepted that she joined them as part of the group. The main reason was that Golden wasn't willing to leave her alone, and the nobles didn't want to separate from Golden. That time the change of area wasn't as abrupt as before. From a volcano, they reached a mountain range. There, the terrain was still tricky, but at least the heat issues disappeared, so all of them felt better than before. On the second day after starting walking, when the group had just reached the mountain range, Aizu finally woke up. Aizu asked that while being half asleep because she didn't recognize the surroundings and didn't remember what had happened to her. Golden looked at Aizu when he heard her voice. At that moment, the group was resting, and Aizu wasn't on Golden's back. "I was starting to think that you will remain sleepin
Hyrk looked at the guy's corpse."We shouldn't waste the resources he has with him, let's loot the corpse."To Hyrk, that was normal. If the opponent is already dead, the killer should pick up his belongings. The nobles were used to do that after killing their opponents, even though the dead ones were mostly powerless people who had offended their clans."Golden, you are lucky today! This guy has a spatial artifact, although its quality is bad!"After finishing his sentence, Hyrk threw a ring to Golden.Hyrk knew that Golden didn't have a spatial artifact and that he needed one.Moreover, Golden was the one who risked his life to kill the guy, so the rewards also belonged to him, Hyrk wouldn't try to get a share without having participated in the killing.If Golden obtained something that Hyrk needed from the dead guy, Hyrk would ask to make a transaction for another thing of the same value.That was also a rule the nobles had to avoid internal strife, although not all of them followe
