Chapter 415 Revamp
"You became this strong just after being promoted to S rank. You are already beyond even the S rank peak. I'm not ashamed to admit defeat." Blood poured out from the corner of Ceterus' mouth. And he has severe wounds of various sizes all over his body. He couldn't regenerate since his degu user had been used up. "I know you could actually kill me if this wasn't a spar. I just want to know, did you use all of your strength in our fight?"
"No, I didn't. Though I used 45% of it." Fein honestly answered. 'Since my strongest attack could already take down even an SS rank.'
Even though Ceterus knew it already. He was still amazed at just how large the gap between them was now. After all, they are the same S ranks right? Why is the gap so huge!?
'It's probably because of his high-level strange swordsmanship.' Ceterus took out a blue advanced degu recovery potion from his storage ring with a thoughtful expression and chugged it down to his throat.
The four S ranks, on the other hand, couldn't believe what they just witnessed... Fein defeated Ceterus, who had quite a high rank on the official list!
As an individual... The four of them knew that they won't be able to defeat Ceterus, not to mention, as easily as Fein did it. The only way that they could think of was to team up with each other like always and used all their strength, and the hidden cards that they haven't shown yet to the public.
"Now I knew why they called this guy a peerless evildoer! The list of achievements we heard pales in comparison after seeing it with our own eyes this time. Our country had really produced a monster this time." Red took a deep breath. Then glanced at Ceterus, whose wound started to heal up after he recovered his degu energy.
Zaro nodded with agreement at Red's statement and asked casually. "If it was the four of us. Do you think we could beat him?"
"Well, I don't know... The majority of his strength comes from his high-level swordsmanship. I think it's not exaggerated to call him one of the contender of the strongest swordsman in the world, since his level on it wasn't inferior to the sword saints of the East and Central Plain. No, I think he's even above them!" Ceterus spoke with difficulty.
He experienced the might of Fein's swordsmanship personally. No matter what he did, Fein would just wave his sword and cut his attacks like tofu. And the speed of the sword, flashes of light, and exaggerated sharpness made Ceterus' scalp numb with just a replay of it in his mind. One had to remember that his rank in the S rank official link was already within the top 50! But he still got defeated with a newly ascended S rank.
Not only that, Fein even without using all his strength could already kill Ceterus even if he transforms into his most powerful form, 'Trinity Dragon Form II'!
"Inconceivable!" Zalmond and Red sighed.
'Hey, aren't you exaggerating your words? I didn't even know the sword saints that you're talking about.' Fein didn't know that his sweet and petty revenge would make Ceterus and others react like this.
An hour had passed before they finished their conversation. Fein and the Ceterus mainly talk about the schedule and place of the event. As for the four, they just shared some stories about themselves when they adventured and fought a lot of enemies to reach their current height. Told Fein each of their experience in North and West.
Fein tried to ask some questions about the North since he would go there, which the four answered without reservations.
After that, Ceterus and the four S rank bid their goodbyes, while Michael and Kidd started to flock to him, asking him about the gifts. So, Fein showed it to them and also explain the book's description and its value. Then he excused himself and stored all the gifts in his storage space.
...
Another month had passed. Within that month, Fein and Sofia would date once a week. Voli's transformation, on the other hand, became saturated, and it won't be far before he evolves to a higher level!
Fein constantly monitored Voli's status daily and ensured that nothing would go wrong in the process of evolution. After all, he already learned his lesson...
More importantly, with the help of Ceterus. They finally found a suitable place to imprison Brick Norty and effectively seal his powers. Ceterus called the place 'Revamp' where they imprison dangerous criminals and powerful beasts...
The place had the highest place of security both inside and outside. Inside security to prevent the imprisoned from breaking away and escaping. There are always guards that patrol and inspect the state of creatures strictly every hour. What's more, they constantly change personnel. As for outside, it was armed to the teeth, and there were even two S ranks watching over the place.
Revamp is located in the San Luebisto kingdom, and two S ranks watching it especially came from the Hosu Great Country, so Fein didn't have to worry that anyone would cause trouble and attempt to release the monsters and criminals inside it.
Because of this, he had to spend some of his time going to Revamp and visiting Brick Norty. He's the only one who can access Brick's room because of his request to Ceterus. Of course, the director of the Revamp didn't agree immediately even if t was Ceterus who proposed it. The director came from the royal family of San Luebisto and had a strong backer.
But after he heard Fein's achievements and the title of the youngest S rank from Ceterus' mouth. His attitude changed to 180 degrees and completely took care of Fein's request. This small episode made Fein experience the first benefit of his youngest S rank status! A lot of things really became convenient.
With the director's assistance. Fein managed to perform some experiments on Brick Norty, mainly trying to see if he could find a way to heal Brick's soul by himself. Unfortunately, he realized that he could only find treasures or items. After all, he doesn't have any foundations in soul studies yet and he might mess up Brick's soul if he performs trial and error.
Lastly, he made a new training plan, mainly on how to improve and create new elemental techniques, and began his study on the thick orange book.
