Chapter 116 - Discovery

Cyril sighed after hearing Xagan.

"I'll look into it… Don't rush me…"

He indeed wanted to search for the Elf King and Queen already. That is his only option.

In the first place, he doesn't have any idea where he could meet a Fairy King or even a Dragon King.

With this in mind, he has to do his best to fully utilize his connection with the elves. However, there are still several problems that he has to solve.

After all, even if he managed to extend his life, future problems like the vampire outbreak, abyssal beasts, organized crimes, and many others would still happen.

In short, he has to balance his schedule and ensure that he's also growing stronger while looking for the sovereign of the Elven Race.

'Right, I wonder what happened at the hotel right now?'

Cyril checked his phone to find any updates. He's thinking that the police wouldn't be able to find any clues with just those patches of blood left behind.

However, they said that they actually found the culprit and are now running for his life?

"Uhmm… What's going on?"

Cyril continued reading the short article and realized that the middle-aged man, who was previously wearing a red raincoat, was the one who took the blame for the incident!

It appears that the man was found nearby and many people testified how suspicious he was!

'Ugh… I guess that it's better like this?' Cyril thought.

That raincoat guy was the one who was planning to kill an S-Rank Awakened this December.

'Perhaps, because of this incident, there would be changes in his schedule?'

Cyril mused but of course, he wouldn't take chances and he would still try to see what he can do to ensure the safety of that girl during and after his Awakening.

He didn't feel sorry for the man after being falsely accused. After all, that guy might even be far more dangerous than him considering how he targets even innocent people.

After Cyril's act of killing the group of Awakened, he knows that it can't be really helped at that time. A battle between fellow Awakened is too dangerous, he could die if he wasn't ruthless.

He learned of this the hard way so he would never make the same mistake again.

Finally, he ordered Magenta outside to guard the house before finally taking a sleep…

A few days have passed and as expected, Fabrice stopped causing trouble to Cyril. After all, he was worried that the A-Rank Raincoat Guy was actually Cyril's hidden protector!

He's aware that Cyril is just a newbie so he felt that it's impossible for him to kill his men. With this in mind, he can only guess that the one who killed the people he sent out was Cyril's protector.

It would fit really well in the story so he didn't doubt it for now.

Because of this, Cyril's life remained peaceful for a while.

He continued practicing inside the Arcane Worlds that he has as he mastered his sword skills.

Well, his knowledge about the sword techniques was superficial. He's only aware of the basics of the sword enough not to harm himself when swinging or executing simple sword slashes.

Anyway, he has an incredible Wraith Sword right now so he decided to learn the art of the sword.

He can't be too reliant on his martial arts after all. Especially when fighting against top-tier Magical Creatures… It might be enough against the lower tiers but considering the strength of these top tiers like Giants, Orc Lords, Ogres, Doom Knights, and others, he knows that he can't just rely on his S-Rank Aura or he will die a gruesome death.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Cyril had started practicing the Torrent Sword Art that he purchased in the Awakened Association. It is a sword technique that requires the integration of one's Aura.

On the scroll that he purchased, it is said that it has three stages.

The first stage or the First Torrent is quite a straightforward sword technique… He has to inhibit his Aura to the sword and fold his Aura to create a powerful force when released…

It is quite taxing to the body since it requires plenty of Awakened's Aura… However, this first stage is just perfect for Cyril with S-Rank Aura… It is thick enough to create a powerful slash and destroy a Rank-B Artifact if he wanted to!

As for Rank-A Artifacts, he would probably need 10 or so strokes of his sword to do it!

"One more!"

Cyril dashed to the nearest zombie and slashed with his black sword.

He continued doing this for 20 more minutes before stopping…

"Hmm… Their spawn rate had slowed down. I should check the other Spriggan Lair then…" Cyril decided as soon as he realized that the Zombies had dwindled a lot.

Though the Cemetery can spawn an unlimited number of zombies, it doesn't mean that it could do it in a snap of his fingers.

He had to wait for them to respawn before he could continue slaughtering them.

Anyway, he didn't want to waste time waiting for the zombies. Instead, he decided to move to Spriggan's Lair since these creatures also have an incredible spawn rate. As long as he doesn't specifically crush their hearts or cores, they could still regenerate when brought to their altar.

Aside from that, new Spriggans can also be born as long as two powerful Spriggans wanted to create them.

As soon as Cyril came out, he heard a weak explosion coming from Bonnie's room.

"Aunt! Is everything alright?"

Cyril asked as he rushed to her laboratory.

"Yes! Of course. Don't worry about me… It's just an accident… No, I think it's a discovery!"

Bonnie suddenly became excited. Right now, she's studying the potion recipe written in the Alchemist Notes… Of course, it was already translated by Cyril and Bonnie just had to believe in her nephew about its accuracy.

"A discovery? Tell me…" Cyril felt a bit excited too as he curiously asked his Aunt.
