Chapter 108 - - Second Sword Realm

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Dante carefully manipulated the golden flames, and he slowly started to send them into the drop of blood containing Zatiel stem cells.

When the golden flames touched the drop of blood, this one started to radiate a significant amount of energy. In the next second, it duplicated in size. This process happened repeatedly, and as the stem cells increased their quantity, Dante guided the specialization process.

Even with Dante’s abilities, the process was slow since the changes he was making in his brain and the nervous system needed to be checked constantly, as any mistake in this part would ruin the body.

As the hours passed and the body started to form inside the elder brain, Dante moved the golden sun inside him and formed a heart to contain it.

When he charged the stem cells with the golden fire, it took eleven hours for the body to be completed.

Dante made several inspections on the body, and once he was sure that there was no problem in it, he integrated his soul with it.

Once Dante’s soul entered the new body, some changes happened in the elder brain. The Eye of Life and Creation disappeared, and it was no longer producing any golden flame. Still, his golden exterior remained, and the vitality that you could feel in it was undoubtedly more extraordinary than the one a typical Rank 3 elder brain should have.

It seemed that although the time it was nourished by the golden sun and in possession of the Eye of Life and Creation was short, the elder brain still significantly improved.

A minute after the soul of Dante integrated with the body, this one opened his eyes and came out from the elder brain, landing outside the pool, showing his appearance to Zatiel and Heinz.

The body was that of a child around ten years old. His facial features were very similar to the one of Zatiel. Although some minor differences separated their looks, it is evident that they were father and son.

His hair was black, the irises of his normal eyes were white, and the distinctive Eye of Life and Creation on his forehead displayed his bloodline heritage.

The boy was very handsome, just like his father, and his eyes radiated an aura of great intelligence.

Heinz moved his finger, and a red aura reached Dante, covering his body with a red robe.

Dante walked to Zatiel and Heinz’s side and gave a slight bow.

“Father, uncle.”

“Why did you choose that age?” Zatiel was curious about his son’s choice since he could have made his body adult immediately.

Of course, how old the body appearance was, did not affect his battle power.

“I feel that this age better reflects my emotional maturity.”

Dante knows that even though he may be able to process information hundred or even thousands of times faster than those in his same Rank. His life experiences were nonexistent, and emotional control was weak.

Zatiel knew of the boy’s shortcomings when it came to his feeling. Still, he did not find it a problem, after all, he was literally born today, and the fact that he was able to recognize his weakness was already a great display of maturity.

“Hahaha, so young and already speaking with such wisdom, he is definitely your son, brother.” Heinz could not help but laugh at the child’s words.

When Dante heard those words, he straight up his pose, and pride appeared on his face. As for Zatiel, he only laughed along with Heinz.

“I was going to give this to you, brother, but I think you would be happier if it goes to your son.”

Heinz made a drop of blood appear and sent it to Dante’s chest, where it landed right above the place where his heart was and transformed into a tattoo of a sword.

“That will allow you to release a one-time attack that carries a power equal to the one I can perform when I release my Law Avatar. After delivering the attack, it will transport you to any place you want in a radius of one hundred thousand kilometers.”

“Thank you, uncle!” Dante was elated with the presence of the sword tattoo since it was something it could save his life even in the most threatening of situations.

Despite being only a one-time attack, it could end the life of a Rank 4 life form if it were to land point-blank.

Zatiel was also very grateful since he understood the great value of that drop of blood and knew that it should have taken Heinz a lot of time and energy to create it, especially since it has such a powerful teleporting ability.

“Brother, by what I saw in your battle against Lun, I take it that you already achieved the first Sword Realm, right?”

“Yes, I did, and I must tell it is impressive. Not only my attack increase in power, but my Law of Sword advanced to the “Initial” level of comprehension once I reach it.” Heinz was marveled by the upgrade he obtained by reaching the first Sword Realm.

“Good, then it is time for you to start training in the next realm. To reach the first realm, you needed to make the sword a part of your body, and the second is much harder since to reach it, you will need to treat the sword as an extension of your consciousness.” Seeing that Heinz was focused, Zatiel continued with his explanation.

“The second Sword Realm is known as Sword Spirit. To achieve it, the first thing you need to do is have a sword strong enough to company you during your training in this realm. If your sword were to be broken, you would have to start again from the beginning, and it will be even harder the second time.”

Heinz fulfilled that condition immediately since the sword he was using now was very powerful. Even in the future, when he advances to the next Rank, he would not need to change it.

“You will need to constantly nurture the sword with your consciousness until eventually, just like the stars, develop a consciousness itself. This consciousness is commonly known as sword spirit, and it would increase your offensive power and the defenses of your soul. Here, take this.” Zatiel took a crystal from his ring and engraved some information before throwing it to Heinz.

Heinz catches the crystal, and since he had an idea of what was in it, he could not wait and immediately sent his consciousness inside.

Exhilaration filled Heinz’s face as he read the title, Path Technique: Sword Empyrean.

“Since you reached the first realm on your own, then you can use this Path Technique to guide you into the next realms safely. Although it is extremely difficult to reach the fourth Sword Realm, if you do it, you will reach the level of comprehension needed over the Law of Sword to use it, when you attempt to become a Being of Laws.”

“Awesome!” The more Heinz read this Path Technique, the more he loved it, and he could not wait to start training it.

To become a Being of Laws, you needed perfect control over more than one law, so even if Heinz reached the fourth Sword Realm, it did not mean that he could progress to that Rank.

But he has always been very talented in the Law of Killing. With the help of the Path Technique, his advance will be much easier.

“We still have other matters to discuss.” Zatiel felt the need to call the cultivator’s attention when he saw how he was behaving.

Something was telling him that if he didn’t stop him, this brother of his would enter deep seclusion to train for several years, and for his following plans, Heinz was a fundamental part.

“First, the less important matter, I will need your help to contact the Scientia Kingdom. It is my understanding that when it comes to the creation of magic towers, they are the best in the entire Magi World.”

The Scientia Kingdom that Zatiel was referring to is the third great power that ruled the surface of the Magi World. Although they are the oldest organization on the planet, the lands under their control are smaller than those from the Eye Dynasty and the Aeternum Empire.

That did not mean that they were the weakest since no power had ever dared to challenge them or invade their terrain in all of the millions of years of their existence.

It was rumored that those Being of Laws behind those powerful organizations have strictly prohibited any sort of aggression against them.

“No problem, they are easy to contact, and although they are very expensive, they are indeed the best in what they do.”

After saying those words, Heinz adopted a serious expression before speaking again.

“I must warn you, brother. You must not harm any of them since the repercussions of harming a kingdom citizen is something even I fear. But luckily, you don’t have to worry about them offending you because they are extremely pacifistic people, and the only thing they seek is knowledge.”

Zatiel has heard a lot of rumors about the kingdom, and Heinz’s expression told him they were not unfounded. Still, he expected that a Hight World with a civilization that has existed for millions of years has some mysteries.

“Don’t worry. I only want them to create my tower and nothing more. Now before I go to the next topic, tell me how are the relations between the Magi World and the Heavenly Creator World.”

When Heinz hears Zatiel speak about the relation between worlds, he could not help but sigh.

“Ahhh, sometimes I wonder how extensive your knowledge can truly be.”

Heinz’s reaction was understandable since the only reason he knew about the Heavenly Creator World was his status as a Rank 4 individual with an impressive background who had explored the universe.

To the cultivator’s words, Zatiel only shrugged his shoulder. He did not care that Heinz could deduce some information about his identity.

“Ok, whatever. Answering your question, it is obviously a hostile one, after all, what kind of relationship could we have with a race full of individuals who see the rest of the races of the universe as inferior beings, and they dare to look down on you even when you’re stronger than them.” The disdain in Heinz’s face was evident, and it seemed that the impression he has of that world is awful.

‘I see, they have not changed at all, extremely xenophobic as always.’ Zatiel’s impression of the Heavenly Creator World was just as bad as the one of Heinz.

“Tell me, how would you feel about starting a world war against them?.”
