Lancelot glance at his wrist. His time teller showed.
07:15 Am.
The last foreigner should be close to Lust Hall by now.
Lust Hall is one of the Seven Deadly Sins of Britain. Britannia possesses four sins out of the seven; these families are the only ones who have the ability to become immortal. Each of these families has their own immortals. I need to prepare before going to Lust Hall. I don't have a method to deal with the remaining foreigner since I don't know how many of them there are or what skills they possess. I need to intercept them before they meet up with their reinforcements in Riverview. Lancelot frowned.
Spirit cores are the essence and will of living beings, while magic cores are bodies that collect and use the essence of the earth. Spirit cores are free, but magic cores are slaves to man. What if I combined my will and body to absorb the essence of the earth? If I do that, will I become an immortal? With the absence of supreme beings, immortals are at the peak of this world. They control everything from the shadows.
In order to cross from the mortal realm to the immortal realm without the help of the sins is like walking in the middle of a desert. I can't tell if I am going in the right direction. Even if I try my methods, there are no guarantees. The success rate is low, and if I fail, my cultivation will end—I might even die from backlash. But that's what makes it so interesting. Lancelot smiled.
There's no success without risk.
Lancelot broke the silence and laughed.
North of Britainna, Pride Esate, Forest Road.
Pride Estate's gate was ten kilometers away from Taiyor.
Taiyor stood in a daze. His comrades who had escaped with the princess were all dead. The carriage was nowhere to be found, and the princess's body was not among the corpses.
Tears fell from Taiyor's face. Then he steadied himself and said, True men don't cry.
Whoever did this must be punished. I will avenge them and retrieve the princess. Years of hard work will not go in vain. What if I die in the process? So what? Besides, I can't live with this shame. I need to teach these devils a lesson.
It seemed they hadn't put up much of a fight before they died. The enemy must be strong. I won't waste any time only a sneak attack will work.
Taiyor spoke coldly,
"Adaptive Fusion Blade—fifth configuration: Fan Blade."
Taiyor jumped onto his blade.
The blade reshaped into three attached blades. A short pole connected the blades to the center, and the center of the weapon was round. Taiyor stood at the center as the three blades began to rotate while ascending into the sky.
The spinning speed increased rapidly, to the extent that the blades and the pole turned invisible. Only Taiyor and the center of the fan blade remained visible as they ascended towards the sky observing Britainna from the clouds.
Britain Castle located at the center, Pride estate at the North of Britainna, The strongholds of Britainna (Albion) close to the mountains, Lust Hall at the Northeast of Britainna, Raiders guild border between the North and South of Britainna, while crownford is the only village in the north and east and west that connects to Riverview, while Riverview and Eastern Strait strongholds at the East of Britainna.
The fan blade tilted slightly, adjusting its course to crownford a town located in the east of Britainna. Taiyor did not rush. Rage made fools of warriors, and fools died early. Whoever had slaughtered his comrades had done it so cleanly too cleanly his opponent did not leave any clue. That fact alone made him feel fear and wary of the unknown opponent.
The blades beneath his feet slowed, descending silently as Taiyor entered the outskirts of Crownford. He dismissed the fan blade mid-air, landing without sound between rows of early-morning shops. The village was already awake merchants preparing stalls, guards rotating shifts, travelers lining up at the gates.
Taiyor exhaled and activated his spirit core
Change Form.
His green suit faded into rough traveler's cloth. His presence dulled. The change form skill is just as the name it changes the form of any object or person Taiyor possess two skills change form and adapting fusion. To any observer, he was nothing more than another early passerby but his eyes were sharp as he moved.
The carriage rolled forward slowly as the gates of Crownford closed behind it.
Lionel relaxed slightly, though his hand never left the reins.
"That was too easy," Reinhard muttered.
Leywin sat opposite him, silent, eyes half-closed as if resting but his senses were fully alert.
They passed through the inner streets. Crownford was large larger than most villages serving as a trade artery between Lust Hall, Raiders Guild territory, and Riverview. Raiders, merchants, mercenaries all mixed here.
The carriage slowed.
Lionel frowned. "What now?"
A line of wagons blocked the street ahead. Guards were inspecting cargo thoroughly.
It was early in the morning when Leywin, Reinhard, and Lionel arrived at the gate of Crownford. The soldiers questioned them and demanded to inspect what was inside their carriage.
They told the town guards that they were raiders and that the carriage contained monster corpses. They explained that they were heading to the Raiders Guild to sell the corpses.
Leywin handed the town guard one gold coin, and the guard allowed them to pass through the gate with their carriage.
