"I can give you the Divine Water pond, but I want sothing in return."
Their expressions underwent quite a few changes when they heard him.
Doubt, hope, distrust…
Alia opened her mouth.
"Really? We can pay as much money as you want—"
"Not money."
The Divine Water pond had served its need.
It could bring Neo fortune if he sold it.
But
Important treasures could not be brought with money.
"I want a Tremor-ranked Magic Spell."
"What? That… that's the inheritance of our royal family. We can't give it to outsiders."
Alia felt torn.
She wanted to get the Divine Water pond, but a Tremor-ranked Magic Spell was too much.
Magic Spells were divided into five ranks:
Whisper
Echo
Resonance
Reverberation
Tremor
The rmaid Country had only one Tremor-ranked Magic Spell.
It was given to Alia's ancestor by the Great Ocean God, Poseidon.
The spell was the reason why her ancestors could establish the rmaid country in the harsh seas of Alaspa.
Alia was lost in thoughts when Clara put a hand on her shoulder.
The bodyguard looked at her with a deep gaze.
A sigh escaped Alia's lips.
She understood what Clara ant.
They had no choice but to get the Divine Water pond.
She saw Neo was not going to budge and spoke,
"I can't make an important decision like that myself. We can appeal to the Queen, my Mother, and.... I think she will agree to your demand."
Her words would've sounded like a lie to anyone.
The Queen of the rmaid Country was called the Tyrant Queen.
She was not soone who negotiated and instead took everything from others.
While it was true the Tyrant Queen urgently needed Divine Water in large amounts, she could force Neo to give it to them without any compensation.
Alia did not think such a scenario would co to pass.
Neo was strong.
Her mother wouldn't be able to use her weapon, the overwhelming strength of hers, to take the Divine Water pond from Neo.
Neo thought about it.
He found Alia's words to be plausible.
And
Although he was not strong, he was sure the Tyrant Queen would not take the Divine Water pond from him unethically.
The reason was related to why she urgently needed the Divine Water.
"I have no problem with it. When can I et the Queen?"
"Right now. Let's go, right now!"
A small smile appeared on her face.
She looked especially beautiful at the mont.
The three left the underwater cave after Neo wore the respirator, he couldn't breathe underwater without it.
Alia and Clara found it weird how soone like him had to use oxygen tanks.
But they did not point it out.
They ca out of the underwater cave and Neo noticed a gigantic eastern sea dragon swimming inside the sea.
The sea dragon had blue scales.
It had a ferocious expression and a powerful aura.
All the fishes in the vicinity had disappeared after the dragon's appearance.
Noticing Neo's lingering gaze at the sea dragon, Alia explained,
"That's our ride. Only the Azure sea dragons can travel in the Alaspa Sea."
She could talk underwater without problem.
Clara was the sa.
Both of them had rmaid Bloodline, underwater seas were their ho turf.
They swam and positioned themselves above the Azure Dragon's back.
At the mont, a no-water zone appeared at their location.
They landed on the dragon's back with their feet.
Neo could see that the water was being blocked by an invisible do, probably an ability of the Azure Dragon.
He could breathe without problem.
They began the journey.
The sea animals ran away whenever they sensed the Azure Dragon.
Traveling underwater, Neo felt the journey was no different from an airplane ride with a good view.
Neo could see Alia sneaking glances at him, as if she wanted to talk but was afraid to initiate the conversation, and Clara staring at him with furrowed brows.
He did not converse with them and instead focused on himself.
He had yet to see the changes brought by the evolution of his skill.
'Status,' he thought.
[Neo Hargraves]
[Rank: Grade 5 Awakened]
[Divine Energy Purity: Grade 1 Awakened]
[Stats]
﹂Strength: 18
﹂Speed: 21
﹂Dexterity: 17
﹂Constitution: 12
﹂Luck: 0
[Affinity: Death, Shadow, Darkness, Void]
﹂Magic Spell: Necrotic Touch
[Bloodline: Monarch of Death]
﹂Unique Skill: Death, Immortal
[Quest: None]
His status screen changed after he evolved into an Awakened.
His stats were on the low-end for an Awakened, which was understandable since he evolved recently.
The Luck, however, was quite surprising.
He did not know anyone with Luck below 1.
Neo's Divine Energy purity was very high.
He attributed it to him absorbing a large amount of Divine Water.
'The Magic Spell is the one the Grim Reaper gave . I wonder what rank it is.'
[Necrotic Touch]
[Rank: Tremor]
[Mastery: Apprentice]
[Effect: Applies Death mark to the target through touch. (Max Stack: 5)]
Demigods mainly fought with Magic Spells and used their Unique Skills as trump cards.
To use Magic Spells, one had to burn their God Blood.
While the God Blood could be naturally restored over ti, consuming too much too quickly could kill the demigod due to anemia.
Neo was surprised to see the rank of the spell.
It seed the Grim Reaper he t was a high ranked personnel.
Thinking again, just not any Grim Reaper would've been sent to bring the soul of the bloodline of Hades.
[Unique Skill: Death]
[Exp: 10/10]
[Skill Effect: You Die]
The Death skill had been completely mastered.
Thanks to it, Neo gained another skill.
He checked the new skill's detail with anticipation.
It had to be powerful considering how much trouble he had gone through to get it.
[Unique Skill: Immortal]
[Exp: 0/100]
[Skill Effect: You gain an extra life every 24 hours. (Max Stack: 3)]
"…?"
His face contorted.
What was this fucking bullshit?
The skill was incredibly useful, but, what would he do with so many lives?
If an opponent could kill him once, he could kill him twice!
Even three or four tis!
Dammit! Were all skills from the Monarch of Death bloodline so weak?
'Calm down.'
'It isn't a powerful skill, however, it's remarkable as a support skill.'
'Besides, ti passes slower in the Underworld. I can go there to train my Magic Spells.'
Neo sighed.
It seed he had to keep dying in the near future.
