Chapter 225 – Rewards

Noel spent two hours inside that space to swing his blade according to the Sword Saint’s instruction. He was shocked by how much a toll that his swing took in his mind.

It seemed that the Sword Saint had considered everything, including his limit. After the swing, he continued to the next training to cut through the Spiritual Energy. This was the uniqueness came from Ardagan itself, who was a living spirit instead of a normal sword.

Still, there was one more important thing he learned in this space. It was about the runes.

The Sword Saint gave him the remaining knowledge about runes that he had been lacking this whole time. With this knowledge, he could create many runes of his choices. He could even read the runes that sealed the Ancient Demon Tree.

The seal was made of at least thirty runes, so it was impossible for him to recreate it. Even if he could apply a quite powerful rune, he would exhaust all his Spiritual Energy for it. Hence, he had to stick with some low level runes for the time being until he absorbed more Spiritual Energy.

After those two hours, the space gradually disappeared and the Sword Saint seemed to be more transparent as if he had used most of his remaining Spiritual Energy.

“Are you…” Noel squinted his eyes, examining the Sword Saint’s condition.

“I’m fine. No matter what, I had died so long ago. You don’t have to worry about me.” The Sword Saint smiled and patted Noel’s head like his own son. “You are quite talented, boy.”

“I’m flattered, but I don’t think this is enough.”

“To surpass her?”

“Yes. I have to do it.” Noel nodded with a serious expression.

“However, working together with her will be more advantageous for you.” The Sword Saint shook his head helplessly.

“Are you telling me to drop this hatred?” Noel gritted his teeth, glaring at the Sword Saint.

“No matter how I tell you that your parents are still alive and she doesn’t do anything, I won’t tell you to drop your hatred because that’s your main driving force to get stronger right now. In fact, you can continue hating her for the rest of your life like your ancestor and my sister.

“Even though they were husband and wife, they hated each other and always tried to beat each other, whether in skill, parenting, or even on bed… Ahem, forget about the last one.

“Anyway, what I want to tell you is that she can make you stronger and you can cooperate with her. I know that you don’t want to owe someone, so I’m just telling you to create a situation that way. She might be a key that can lead you back to your parents.”

“A key to my parents? Why?” Noel was confused, trying to connect everything but to no avail.

“Just think about it like this. Your parents were the mastermind of their execution and they must be using body double to trick people. Then, they framed the talented girl who was supposed to have no power to decide their execution as the culprit. It’s clear that Anna Stargaze is a huge part in their plan. Instead of killing her, you might want to use her.”

“…” Noel fell silent for a moment. He didn’t think about this. As the Sword Saint said, Anna wasn’t supposed to be in the equation, yet, she became the center of attention. Why?

“That’s all I want to say about her. Right now, I have to tell you the reason why I built this tomb here instead of your home. I mean, I am your Ancestral Uncle, you know. I should be allowed to be buried next to my sister, right?” The Sword Saint smirked. “Well, there is a reason why I built my tomb here.”

“A reason…” Noel looked at him with a curious gaze while trying to guess it in his mind.

The Sword Saint nodded and walked to the remaining treasure chests. With a single wave of his hand, he opened all of them, showing Noel the treasures hidden in it.

The first chest contained a pair of golden rings. It didn’t have anything special on it other than a single rune that was embedded in the inner part of the ring. “These were the wedding rings of your ancestors. I’m sure that you know the rune on it, right?”

“Yes. Transmitter Rune. By using the Spiritual Energy, it can transmit a weak signal to the other ring. Right now, I can think of several ways to utilize it.” Noel nodded with a serious expression.

“These are yours.” The Sword Saint smiled, placing the rings on top of his palm. “You can use it for your wedding rings as well since that might be what Samuel wanted.”

“Uhm… Thank you.” Noel didn’t know what to say since marriage never came into his mind.

The Sword Saint then took out the treasure in the second chest. It’s three blue pills. “These are the pills formed by my own soul. It can heal all your wounds as long as you’re not dead. It can even grow one limb as long as the wound is still fresh. Even if you’re stabbed in the heart, you will still be fine as long as you’re not dead.”

Noel dropped his jaw to the ground because these three pills were extremely precious. They were life saving pills.

“Are you sure about giving these three pills to me?” Noel sucked a cold breath.

“Of course. My tomb is for the Ardagan, so I want you to use this pill as you see fit. Knowing you, I believe you will use these pills carefully.”

“Thank you very much.”

“And this is the last reward.” He took out a book for Noel. “This is my Spirit Technique called Hyper Jump. Basically, it allows you to kick the air to stabilize your balance. You can only do it once and it’ll put some pressure on your foot, but I think this is a precious technique that can save your life.”

“Yes. It’s certainly a technique everyone need.” Noel nodded in agreement. However, he also noticed that the last chest hadn’t been opened yet, but the Sword Saint had said the last reward. In other words, the reward wasn’t meant for him.

“You’re not going to ask me about the last chest?” The Sword Saint smiled.

“No. If it wasn’t meant for me, I don’t have to be greedy for it.”

The Sword Saint waved his hand, opening the last chest. “And that’s why I want you to bring these with you…”
