Chapter 808: Chapter 636 Three’s Company, My Wife is Sure to be One of Them_2
“The other factions are not worth ntioning.”
“If it’s just the two of us attending, it might cause so trouble.”
Hathaway said.
A flash of understanding passed through Roger’s eyes. The situation was indeed as she described. Since a show of strength was needed, a candidate quickly ca to Roger’s mind.
“I could ask Henrik to… never mind.”
Mid-sentence, Roger dismissed the idea himself. Knowing that guy well enough, once the eting started, it would likely be impossible to find him again.
Sending him out would only give him an excuse to openly slack off.
As for Amanda…
Though a nice thought, didn’t the saying go in his previous life, “Three’s a company, one will always feel left out.”
*Cough, cough.*
Although Roger wouldn’t mind trying it out, the likelihood of things going sideways seed much higher.
No need to rush. Take it slow.
There’s ti in the future.
Besides, Amanda wasn’t even in Kaer Morhen. Hence, the absurdity of last night’s events. As for Claudia…
The idea brushed through his mind, but then Roger suddenly thought of a more suitable candidate.
“Don’t worry. I’ll assign soone to accompany you. She’s reliable enough and can absolutely guarantee your safety.”
Roger said.
“You an that Japanese girl?”
Goway quickly caught on. Roger nodded. The three discussed a few more details before going their separate ways.
Hathaway and the other headed directly to the library, while Roger made his way to the Tower of Shadows.
So far, few Demon Hunters had co here for trials. An individual’s strength could grow rapidly, but the expansion of an organization took ti—it wasn’t an overnight task.
Even in Kaer Morhen, the Tower of Shadows held an exceptionally unique status.
Stepping inside, the darkness enveloped Roger’s figure. Soon, he spotted a familiar silhouette.
Higurashi Chika.
The girl knelt on the ground, a black longsword floating in the air before her. Roger’s entry snapped her out of so kind of ditative state.
Her eyes shot open suddenly, and a flash of spiritual power glead within them.
“You’ve reached the Fourth Tier.”
Roger was sowhat surprised.
He knew his own situation best—he could be considered an anomaly. And even though Higurashi Chika had the support of Gushan, her pace of improvent was astonishingly fast.
“Let check for you.”
Roger offered, and the next second, Higurashi Chika’s figure disappeared. In an instant, the pitch-black longsword floated before him.
“Not bad.”
Roger let out a faint chuckle. He didn’t even bother pulling out the Sword of Destiny. Planting his foot on the tower’s floor, he instantly linked with the ground below.
[Link with the Earth]
With the Quinn Sword Seal’s enhancent, Roger’s defensive power skyrocketed. Flicking his finger, his overwhelming strength made it impossible for Higurashi Chika’s strikes to breach his defense.
He moved fluidly, allowing Higurashi Chika to unleash her swordsmanship as much as she wanted while carefully observing the changes in her spiritual energy.
The trip to the Different Space had deepened Roger’s understanding of the Guardian Spirit Cat. He had to ensure that there were no latent dangers within Higurashi Chika.
After a long ti, Higurashi Chika’s face turned slightly red, her breaths uneven, and most of her spiritual power depleted.
She had no choice but to cease her attacks.
“You’ve grown stronger.”
The girl pressed her lips together, her emotions complex. Even though she pushed herself to the limit, the gap between her and the man in front of her only seed to widen.
“You’re improving quickly too.”
Roger encouraged her.
“Not enough.”
Chika’s expression was determined.
Knowing her personality, Roger chose not to console her too much. He brought up Hathaway and the other’s upcoming mission to Higurashi Chika.
Higurashi Chika didn’t show any hesitation and readily agreed.
Before leaving, she hesitated for a mont before finally asking, “Do you know where he went?”
“Sotis, I access it through the Tower of Shadows, but I don’t dare go too close. I only briefly stop by the house we stayed at before.”
“There, I can vaguely sense my father’s presence. But not long ago, his presence disappeared.”
Concern flickered in Higurashi Chika’s eyes.
“It’s likely just a temporary absence.”
Roger couldn’t explain too much. The people and forces involved were too intricate for even him to fully understand. Sharing it with Higurashi Chika would only burden her further.
Parting ways with her, Roger ascended to the upper space of the Tower of Shadows. A shadow flickered, and Yuan Guanghai’s indistinct figure appeared.
“You’ve arrived.”
Roger nodded but simply studied Yuan Guanghai’s pale face without speaking.
In the eerie silence, Yuan Guanghai quickly realized sothing.
“Red Sparrow… she’s dead.”
Roger sighed.
The light in Yuan Guanghai’s face dimd.
Roger opened his palm, revealing a bead pulsating faintly with bloodline power.
“This… this is the Atlas bloodline…!”
Roger nodded and recounted everything that occurred on Qinglu Mountain to Yuan Guanghai.
“They don’t know you’re alive. Sword Master Fu Niu gave this inheritance bead containing bloodline power, hoping I could find a suitable successor for the Atlas Great Bear.”
“I don’t think anyone is more fitting than you.”
It was foreseeable that absorbing the bead would significantly enhance Yuan Guanghai’s strength. However, Roger didn’t see any excitent or eagerness in his eyes—only a deep sadness.
“Yuan Guanghai is already dead. The one living now is a Demon Hunter of the Bear Fraction.”
“Let the past remain in the past.”
“Here, in Kaer Morhen, this is my ho.”
“I love this place. I love the morning sunlight, the mist outside the forest, and the shadows in the canyon below.”
“And the spirited Demon Hunters.”
Yuan Guanghai took the bead from Roger’s hand. Applying pressure, its structure shattered, and the energy within flowed into Yuan Guanghai’s body.
Pain flickered across his face, and pale flas spread over his body.
The energy, purified bloodline power, clashed violently with his dark energy-infused form, causing a fierce conflict.
However, at that mont, the Bear Fraction insignia appeared on Yuan Guanghai’s forehead. Instead of the Atlas bloodline symbol, it bore the Bear Fraction’s unique mark.
Surrounding the insignia was the Quinn Sword Seal.
In an instant, the two conflicting forces were subdued and guided into a seamless cycle.
Gradually, Yuan Guanghai’s body transford.
The Bear Fraction’s mark grew brighter, and intricate patterns spread across his body until all the energy dissipated. Yuan Guanghai’s strength completely recovered and even received a notable enhancent!
anwhile, Roger also received a notification from the bulletin board: Bear Fraction Heritage completed, inheritance limit boosted, Quinn Sword Seal rules consolidated, appropriate inheritance laws compiled, and cracking and fusion following established templates underway!
Overall progress advancing…
Progress rate depends on the number and strength of Bear Fraction Demon Hunters.
Roger felt a surge of excitent.
The combination of the Cat Fraction and Alder Sword Seal followed the Yatagarasu thod, and now things had turned out exactly as he had speculated.
By successfully completing the Alder Sword Seal, the Hunter’s Cabin could draw lessons and improvents from it.
This would significantly accelerate the understanding and developnt of the remaining sword seals!
Though the start may be challenging and slow, once one succeeds, the rest would beco much simpler.
Roger had the deepest insight into the Alder Sword Seal. But with the Bear Fraction Heritage now complete and observing it personally, his comprehension of the Quinn Sword Seal also surged.
Though it still lagged behind the Alder Sword Seal’s progress, once Roger achieved the title of Extre Path Sword Master through the Alder Sword Seal…
Everything else would naturally fall into place.
By then, with the addition of the Quinn Sword Seal, he would beco the unprecedented Dual-Pole Sword Master!
