Chapter 103 - Pass Out

"Don't worry though, it's not like any of us have changed what we think of you. They'll all be glad that you're alive. However that'll have to wait until they return," Ozel explained.

"Sure I guess. I'm pretty tired right now so I'll be going to sleep," said Steven as he walked through the doors of the the guild and walked towards the stairs to go to he 3rd floor so he could sleep as opposed to the the 4th floor where Julius was resting.

"How come you describe the weapon to be so powerful? It's only a normal blade which had been infused with 2 monster cores. That means that it is only 2 times stronger than a normal monster core infused weapon," said Julius to the white figure as they were still having their conversation.

"That's not entirely true. Just as Jun has already explain to you multiple times, you can't just use numbers to determine the strength of someone or something as there are many variables which apply that might change the final outcome. Nevertheless, you should hold on to it, it's extremely powerful, the white glowing figure explained.

"Wait since it was made long ago, could it also posses magic as well?" Julius asked with a curios face.

"There are a few things which lead to believe that it doesn't have magic but it had something else though. From the looks of it, it was made in the year 0000 as apposed to the year we're in right now being 1609," said the white figure.

"That's an oddly specific year, is there anything special about that year, Julius asked.

"You would have no way of knowing this along with everyone else on your world but something happened which caused the new calendar to be born. That being the Great War," said the white glowing figure.

"I thought the Great War took place 200 years ago meaning that it would've been the 1400s," Julius argued.

"That's because you believe that small event to be the Great War. Let me tell you about the real Great War. Long ago there used to be a whole planet filled with regular people. They didn't know cultivation nor did they know magic. However that would all change once the earth let out its first heart beat," the white figure began to explain.

"For no reason at all, a heartbeat could be heard all across the globe. However after that one sound, the earth went quiet and never said a word ever again. However due to that heart beat, people began to receive information which they had never heard of before which automatically taught them how to cultivate and use magic. It only took a few months until the first strong cultivators existed. After training endlessly just like you and also having magic by their side, people began to grow to power extremely fast. There was no judgment as to who could cultivate nor use magic. It wasn't judged by class or wealth as everyone had the same change but whoever worked the hardest reaped the best rewards, the white glowing figure continued.

"However there were a group of people which were unsatisfied  with the ways of cultivation and magic so they decided to leave and take the extending parts of the large ground area while the cultivators and magic users took the middle of the 1 large continent. I believe that your blade was created at the dawn of magic and cultivation where there was plenty of magic in the world to absorb," the white figure finished.

"What do you mean to absorb?" Julius asked in a confused tone.

"Well, magic has to come from somewhere and that place is from the plant life. However as time passed on, there weren't any more plants to take magic from since magic is created through life force. As such, a new method was invented to capture magic. That being magic from within. As such magic would just tire out a person instead of killing a plant. However, you blade was from the era which used plants and it seems that to make the blade absorb the two monster cores, a great deal of plant life was killed as it was a nearly impossible achievement. Yet it was achieved which is all the more better since the method which the magic was gotten provides a more pure type of magic," said the white glowing figure.

"But I thought you said that the blade didn't have magic,"

Julius argued.

"While the blade itself might not have direct magic, I believe that the monster cores themselves absorbed some of the pure magic and in turn grew in power, that is why I believe the blade to be such a valuable thing," the white figure finished.

"So what do you think I should do with the blade?" Julius asked.

"For now, I suggest that you pretend to leave on a mission and head off far into the mountains. Once you're there, try to gain control of the blade. Even if you pass out, I'll forcibly wake you up. If you were to stay here, waking you up would cause too much attention as it would raise many questions," said the white glowing figure.

"Well if that's all then, I'll do as you said," Julius replied and once he finished saying those words, he woke up from his slumber with a gasp.

"So you're finally awake," said Ozel and Jun as they sat on stools while they had been watching over him.

"Sorry for passing out like that. I hope I didn't worry you too much," said Julius as he apologized.

"Don't worry about it, we're just glad you're alive," Ozel replied.

"Thank you for looking after me, however I wish to continue taking on missions so that I can grow in strength as soon as possible," said Julius as he realized that the blade sheathed blade was right beside his bed on his night stand which brought relief to Julius.

"That fine but I would like you to meet someone first, I think you two will get along just fine," said Ozel.
