Chapter 686 Invitation of the leader
It had been a few days since Erste woke up his body had healed and he was able to move, but his mana circulation was still not flowing properly. While Erste was recuperating Gratz continued to visit him. Even Nikki, Tala, and Miguel would visit him every now and again.
Nikki came one day and told him that he had finally become a member of the squad and she was able to acquire the mana of a New god.
…
The moment they saw this scene some of the incarnations watching from the soul realm noticed that the original incarnation seemed to be affected by this sight. It was only for that single moment, but as people who had better senses than most beings, all the other incarnations noticed the change in the original incarnation’s look. Only some of the incarnations understood what that look meant, it was a look of regret and disappointment.
Those incarnations that understood the look of the original incarnation were confused. The only reason they had regrets and disappointments was because even though they were the strongest of their era, they were still too weak to protect what they wanted to protect, but the original incarnation was different from them.
They might have been the strongest of their respective eras, but the original incarnation was the strongest period. Even among all of them who have been called the strongest and had numerous legends, the original incarnation was stronger than all of them combined. Not only was the original incarnation stronger than all of them, but his luck was beyond any of them as well.
So what kind of thing could such a person who could do almost anything he wanted regret? The question lingers in the minds of those few as they continue to watch the next scene.
…
Erste who was able to move properly now started practicing. In the battle against the Old God, he knew the reason for his victory was because of luck. If he wasn’t able to tap into that unknown energy then he and Gratz would have died back then.
‘Heh, the next time I fight I’ll win not by luck but by my own power and skill.’
Even as his mana was not flowing properly he could feel his strength growing stronger and stronger the more time passed.
‘When I defeated that Old God the form my soul took was that of a sword, maybe I might be the best at using a sword.’
Erste had trained in different forms of martial arts and was good at almost all forms of cold weapons, yet he didn’t know which he was best at since he was extremely talented in combat, and no matter what he used it felt the same to him.
Seeing as the sword was the best fit for him Erste decided to put all of his effort into gaining more proficiency with a sword, which is why he was currently swinging a sword around. While Erste was practicing Gratz arrived.
“Sorry, did I disturb you?”
“Nah, not really, I was about to take a break anyway.”
“Is that so… I have to say your form was beautiful.”
“So what brings you here, surely it’s not just to give me a compliment?”
“Of course, I forgot that you’re not one for pleasantries. So direct to the point as usual, right?’
“Yeah, so what is it?”
“Remember when you asked if you could meet the leader?”
“Of course, I do.”
“I did tell you before that you could only meet the leader after you have proven yourself by doing countless missions.”
“Can you just get to the point already?”
“As impatient as ever, long story short the leader has deemed you worthy. So that means you get the chance to meet the leader.”
“Hoh, so this mysterious leader decided I was worthy… Now I’m even more interested in meeting this so-called leader. So when can I meet your leader?”
“Whenever you want, you can meet the leader now, later at night, in the morning, whenever you want. All you need to do is tell me when you want to meet and I’ll guide you there.”
“I can meet your leader any time. Do you guys no longer need to sleep?”
“You should already know the answer to that question.”
“Actually no I don’t know the answer.”
Gratz was quite surprised by what Erste said as he looked at the other party. At first, Gratz thought that Erste was once again trying to make fun of him, but then he saw the expression on Erste’s face.
“You really don’t know?”
“Would I even ask you this question if I knew the answer?”
“No it can’t be, I can sense mana in you and you have beaten an Old God, surely… This doesn’t make any sense… Erste do you still need to sleep, and eat?”
“I do sleep, and eat the same as before.”
“Do you do that because you need to or because you want to?”
“What kind of question is that, of course I do it because I need to… Don’t tell me…”
“That is right, you should have already guessed it, but aside from gaining a longer lifespan, we who have been bathed by the blood of gods no longer need to eat or sleep… But… Why do you who has so much mana and power, someone who was able to defeat an Old God still a…”
“A normal human is that what you were going to say?”
“…” Gratz was silent as he stared at Erste.
“Well, I guess that’s a mystery that we won’t be able to solve today, for now, let’s get back to what we were originally talking about.”
“You’re the one who derailed the conversation.”
“You changed old man, you used to not talk like this, what happened to you being an elegant gentleman?”
“That was your fault, I have been hanging out with you too much… No matter, even if you have corrupted me a little, I still believe that I exude elegance.”
“Yeah, yeah, whatever you say. So about meeting your leader, I want to meet now.”
