Reaper of the Martial World

Book 7: Chapter 139: Coarse Silver (3)

Madeleine’s smile brightened. Despite having seen what it meant to be a dao formation level beauty, Dyon’s heart still fluttered at the sight of this wife of his.

“All of them.” She finally responded.

“Good!”

Unlike others, Dyon had no need to diligently spend his time looking for treasures. With his divine sense, even with it handicapped, he could cover fifty thousand kilometers in excruciating detail. Although this was only 10% of the Mystical World, with the time they had, he was confident that he would be able to travel its entirety as it would be anywhere between two to three more years before this world closed.

He made mental notes of areas his divine sense couldn’t penetrate, knowing that these were likely the best treasures. At the same time, he didn’t ignore what his divine sense could see. What he needed now more than ever before were resources!

In such a world, even the worst of treasures would cause an uproar in the outside world. How could Dyon ignore them?

Sweeping Madeleine into his arms, Dyon placed the dissected beast corpse into the tower while ignoring the parts he decided to discard. A simple teleportation array later and they had appeared before a mountain the shone with an otherworldly beauty.

It raised what looked like half a dozen kilometers into the sky, having a base twice as large as that.

“This mountain… It’s made entirely of Coarse Silver?” Madeleine blinked in shock. It was no surprise she would have such a reaction, after all, Coarse Silver was not only at least five times tougher than steel, it was considered a Master Grade metal! Just for context, even though steel was a metal of the mortal realm, it was still good enough to nearly be considered a practitioner grade metal!

Although a mere master grade material wasn’t so expensive, when multiplied to the size of this mountain, it was definitely worth several hundred dao stones.

Dyon smiled. “Not only that, but its core regions have been under so much pressure for so many years that they’ve formed a metal I’ve never seen before. But, from its profile, it seems to be of the grandmaster grade and at least twice as tough as this outer coarse silver. Plus, there’s an even more central region my divine sense can’t pierce through. I believe that it should be of at least the comet grade.”

Madeleine rested he head on Dyon’s chest. “You seem very happy today.” She said faintly.

“Of course I’m happy.” Dyon grinned brightly. “How could I not be? Just a few days ago, I finally found Amphorae, and now, I have all the time in the world to spend with you.”

“Really?” Madeleine said with a knowing smile. It was as though she had seen through Dyon a long time ago and was just waiting for him to tell her this truth. Although their souls were connected, it wasn’t as though Madeleine could read his mind to the most stringent of details.

“Mm.” Dyon responded, his expression becoming serious. Even he didn’t understand why he said his next words, but he felt almost compelled to.

“Do you know who my first love was?” Dyon suddenly asked. “It was you.

“You know. If I had never met you, I would probably still be alone today… Clara would have died along with her father because I would have never brought her to the martial world. The Elvin Kingdom would have fallen to the Daiyu because I wouldn’t have saved them due to my relationship with Ri. And, I very well would have already died in my second trial years ago.”

Although Dyon’s last words seemed like an exaggeration, they weren’t. The passing of the second trial wasn’t just made easier by having Amphorae fall in love with you, it was a requirement for success. It was an impossible trial to pass without her full devotion, this was why Dyon was the only one in the trial’s history to ever pass.

“You opened up that part of me. If it wasn’t for you, no woman would have ever entered my heart.” Dyon said seriously. “No one can replace you.”

He squeezed Madeleine body to himself, resting his chin on her head.

In that moment, Madeleine suddenly felt a weight she didn’t know she had on her chest fall. She had always been completely selfless in love, so even she didn’t know when this weight appeared. But, Dyon somehow saw through it and spoke the exact words she had wanted to hear.

She listened to Dyon steady heart beast silently, a content smile gracing her beautiful features.

Dyon grinned. “Let’s go see what’s hidden within this mountain.”

With a thought, a brilliant array started to slowly form on the mountain’s face. In a full circle type of moment, the array formed was none other than the very same on Dyon used during his first date with Madeleine.

Back then, he had used it to allow them to step through the glass exterior of Focus Academy, but now, they used it to walk through the solid mass of a mountain as though it was nothing but air. That said, this array was far more robust due to the density of the metal they needed to pass through.

The couple slowly made their way through the silver mountain. It was odd walking through a mass of dense blackness knowing that it was actually a solid object and not air, but soon, they found that this large mountain was actually filled with veins, veins that all led to a vast open space that caused Dyon’s eyes to widen in shock.
