Chapter 46 - Heavenly Demon Sect [4]

As Lucas removed the sword from the stone, he was just left speechless and dazed. It was as if he wasn't expecting something like this to happen, and as Jeric put it, this treasure is supposed to be hard to remove from the stone.

"Are you sure that no one got to remove this dagger from the stone? It felt too easy to remove." Lucas bluntly said, still in disbelief of what just happened.

However, on the other hand, Jeric was containing himself.

"It was amazing, Young Master. I was right all along. Perhaps this dagger only listens to the most powerful cultivator in the realm, and it was you!" Jeric exclaimed in a bit of a proud manner.

"Cut the crap. I am not the strongest cultivator in the realm. And you know that."

"No, no, Young Master. You are the one who's strongest as you are not only reasonable and benevolent but also have strong prowess."

Lucas just scratched his nape and just looked at the dagger in his hands. The dagger was a little bit rusty to look at, but in reality, it was smooth as if it had been maintained. The carving in the hilt was specially made for a sword, and so because of it, Lucas could only wonder why the blade was so small if this was supposed to be a sword.

In that case, he couldn't think of any other term and just called it a dagger.

'Perhaps this is something exponential that has secrets to use. Let's see... Maybe Analyzing Eyes has something to learn.'

Lucas's eyes lit up in different colors, but the result was futile. Even with the use of his eyes' ability, he still couldn't see the value of the dagger.

"Are you sure that this is a treasure? This feels worthless as my eyes can't comprehend the use of it." Lucas said.

Now that Lucas said it, Jeric couldn't spare but to also ponder as he looked at the dagger.

"The previous sect master before me said that this was a treasure among the treasures of the sect. And from what I think about it, I think they are wrong."

'So he thinks of it too.'

"Never mind, just put this back on the display glass and I'll think of coming back to analyze it if I have a chance. I still have much to learn in this realm, so let's not be hasty." Lucas said.

"You are right, Young Master. Well then, I must assist you to your room. The elders had already prepared one for you." Jeric said in a respectful tone.

"How did you order them?"

"Through Mind Communication. Why do you ask?"

Lucas just shook his head and said, "Never mind."

'So telepathy is possible here as well. I am becoming more interested in the cultivation world.'

Jeric just didn't mind Lucas's question and just assisted him to his room in another building. When they finally went down the floor, the disciples were still looking at them with curiosity and as they left the Treasure Hall, everyone's eyes were still following.

And as they went straight to a district inside the elders' district, everyone in the Treasure Hall immediately gossiped about what happened.

Lucas noticed that the disciples inside began talking, and as he was following Jeric, a smile appeared on his face.

'It was fortunate that I cast illusion magic to alter my face from their perspectives.'

Inside the Treasure Hall.

"Hey. What do you think about the identity of that person that the sect master was talking to? Isn't he handsome and have an otherworldly aura?"

"Are you dreaming? He seems to be an arrogant young master to me."

"Eh? Why would you look at him like he's arrogant?"

"I don't know. It feels like he is too confident like he is from a greater family."

"Maybe he is. He had power, so he was confident."

"Enough with it! I don't care! He. is. hand. some. period."

"Yeah. You handsome freak."

As everyone was talking with each other and producing an irritating sound like a mosquito, inside a room on the ground floor of Treasure Hall, an elder who was in management slammed the door, opening it violently.

"Can't you at least try to be quiet?! I am maintaining a treasure here, so why don't you scram if you don't have anything good to offer."

The manager of the Treasure Hall was a sect elder who seemed to be in his late 40's. However, as angry as he appeared, the core disciples inside just snorted at him.

"The geezer doesn't know what happened here."

"Yeah, right."

The manager became flustered and retorted.

"What happened here?!"

"Well, the Sect Master came here with a mysterious young man. Too bad for you, perhaps you'll be scolded because you didn't greet the sect master." one of the core disciples sneered as if they had a casual relationship with the sect elder.

However, the manager doesn't ignore such a disrespectful attitude. As a result, he threw a daggering eye at the one who spoke, making him gulp.

"F-Forgive me."

"Tsk. Tell me. Who was the mysterious young man?" the manager asked one of the core disciples who was just near him.

"I don't know. He was perhaps a guest from the Five Great Families? We don't know."

The manager narrowed his eyes at the disciple to see through if there was information left behind. However, as he felt that there was nothing more, he just sighed and ignored the disciple.

"Get back to your business. The sect master didn't call for a meeting, so it's not important."

"Eh? But they were casually talking. Maybe you don't know that there was one or you were just an outcast." A sudden voice resounded.

"Who said it?!" the manager suddenly roared, but no one answered or didn't point one out.

He just clicked his tongue and looked at his assistant, who was also a core disciple.

"Manage things while I am gone. I will look for the sect master!"

'There's no way my brother would leave me behind on important matters!'

***

Inside the 10 Judgement Hell's Path.

Felicity, who had been jolted awake by a bright light, found herself standing on top of a pillar. It was a pillar from among plenty of pillars, and the bottom was a dark abyss; nothing could be seen.

As she inspected the surroundings, a smile emerged from her face.

"As expected. I can finish this in a month."

Felicity already knew the test, but there was something inside her system that told her that she forgot to do in the Mortal Realm.

As he thought about it, she suddenly groaned and clenched her fist.

"I forgot to tell Lucas about the tests. Tsk. How careless of me!"

But as nothing could be undone, she just shook her head and put her trust in Lucas.

"I know that he'll be able to pass through the trials and tests without my help. He is someone who's greater than me after all."

And so, Felicity moved from her standing position and leaped to another one. As the skies were so brightly blue, she grasped tightly at the ring that Lucas gave her.

'I will surely save you, Mary.. Just wait.'
