After talking about this island's secret, they began increasing their killing speed as they planned to have at least five million Spirit Crystals in this mission alone. Half of them would be used to increase Aria's cultivation, while the other half was used for Alex to reach Rank 8 God as soon as possible.
It wouldn't be enough, but he should beco a bit closer. This made Alex think a little bit. If he chose to cultivate all days, he would be able to reach Rank 8 God in three years as long as he had enough crystal. And it was supposed to be around fifty million Spirit Crystal to boost his strength.
He rembered that his previous self had tens of billions, but with how this was going, he might need around a half billion Spirit Crystals just to reach Rank 6 God. After that, the cost would beco higher and higher until he cost a few hundred billion just to level up one rank.
That was why most of the God Rank Experts preferred Divine Herbs or Pills to increase their strength instead of the Spirit Crystal. Not only would it be more effective, but it was also more cheaper.
The reason Alex bought the dicinal herbs in the training shop was for this.
Whenever lvie checked them, her expression beca less and less as if she just treated them as a special case that couldn't be asured by a normal parater.
Their killing thod was far different than any others she had seen so far, so she couldn't comnt on anything or help them by giving them so advice. The only thing she could do was to report what she had witnessed during this one month and waited for the peak master's reaction.
anwhile, Alex and Aria managed to kill around ten thousand magical beasts during this one month. Every ti Alex saw a person, he would warn Aria and went around to avoid any kind of contact.
On the last day, he t up with Aria not far from the coast.
"We have finished the mission with flying color. I am sure the peak master will be surprised with this." Aria nodded with a serious expression. "Don't you want to hide?"
"Of course, you will be taking the spotlight. I am sure that she will be in disbelief in your power, but if you show that you can fight a 3-Star Martial Saint monster, I believe it is enough to convince them. And don't forget about your current progress with Purgatory Sword. As long as you have these two, you can take the spotlight." Alex shook his head without having a change of expression.
"What about you?"
"I will be considered your ntor or sothing and the one who becos your bodyguard until you are a God Rank Expert."
"Oh, I will play along then." She nodded.
"You don't have any plan in giving the reward to your brother, right?" Alex asked.
"I once thought about it and realized it would be better to not give him. After all, he is already under the care of Elder Gian, so I don't really need to care about him for the ti being. And I am sure he will grow even stronger after facing many difficulties." Aria answered honestly.
"I see. He has a Divine Weapon as well."
"Yeah. In the future, I won't be beside him to take care of his matters, so I shouldn't pamper him too much."
Alex fell silent for a few seconds before asking. "You are not blaming ?"
"If you are talking about the fact I will go to you when I have enough strength because this is a promise of myself, you don't need to think about it. After all, this is my personal promise. It's not because of you, but my own wish." She shook her head. "I have told you about it, haven't I? I want to be an expert that has the freedom to do whatever I want. And this is what I want."
"Then, I won't say anything." Alex smiled.
"Hehe."
"There is one more thing I want to do with this quest."
"What is it?"
"Ask the elders to sell only half of the monster cores to the sect while the other half will be sold to the Sword Blossom Peak."
"Ah, it's to not make us too extraordinary from the start. With half of these cores going to the Sword Blossom Peak, they will be the one giving us money. And if they are going to send it to the sect, it will be under their na."
"Yeah. This is a win-win situation for them. After all, they want to keep you in the Sword Blossom Peak no matter what. By using this situation, it is a kind of indirectly telling them we want to stay in Sword Blossom Peak, not other peaks."
"I understand. Let take care of the negotiation. I won't make the sa mistake as the one I made in the test."
"It's fine. The problem has been solved anyway."
"Even so, it still haunts . That's one of my biggest mistakes." She shook her head. The reason it could be considered a big mistake was due to Alex's existence. Offending a powerful God Rank Expert would be the last thing she wanted to do, let alone if that person would be her future boss.
Alex stayed silent when he saw this determination in her expression until the latter said, "Let's return."
"Sure." Alex nodded and flew to the coast.
Aria took charge of the conversation this ti, telling all the plans as if she was in charge of this whole operation and Alex was just her helper.
After asking a few questions, lvie nodded and agreed to let Aria negotiate the term with the peak master herself.
They then returned to the sect. Alex went back first to make it more believable that Aria was the one in charge, not him.
They knew that he was a kind of the one pulling the string, but with this, it should be enough to say that he was preparing Aria in his own way and would soon beco her bodyguard or subordinate.
When he entered the house, he imdiately asked Lin Xingzhi about Eve's condition. "How is she?"
[The sword has been ford and Eve's body has fused inside the sword, so you don't need to worry about her anymore. It will take one day for the last integration before she can start adjusting to her body and new power.]
"I see. It's good then." Alex let out a long sigh.
[By the way, the sword is still unnad. Do you happen to know a good na? Well, Eve asked to have you bestow the na of the sword she will be living in. By the way, I will give you the mory crystal about the sword.]
Alex nodded and took out the last item that just got inside the Inventory.
He channeled his energy to the sword as a certain moving image like a video appeared in his mind.
It was a sword floating above a small white platform. The sword had a black handle covered with so golden stripes. The blade looked very beautiful but ominous at the sa ti. It might be due to Eve's influence, but Alex couldn't help but feel impressed.
The blade was red, but the edge was black, making an illusion that the sword was glowing. Even though Eve wasn't a part of the Divine Weapon he found in the cave, she still carried a portion of killing intent, so it must be the reason why the sword looked this way.
"It's beautiful. I can feel that it's tailored made for . I am sure it will suit ."
[I will take the beautiful part and inform Eve about it. I am sure she will be glad to hear such a thing.]
"Ahaha…I still have a sense of what I can do and I can't do, alright?"
[You are just overthinking it. Do you think we consider every single woman, humans or not, as your woman or sothing?]
"I am just afraid." Alex sighed.
[Haha. Don't worry about it. Besides, I will be sending the sword in two months of your ti.]
"I understand. I want to see the real form." Alex thought for a mont. "And maybe the blade na can be Crimson Night."
[Crimson Night… Well, it's better than most of your naming, I guess it's fine.]
"Haha, nice."
[And if you take too long there, the others might reach Rank 8 God before you.]
"It won't take too long. Besides, I will beco even stronger." Alex smiled. He had gotten Eve and the Sword God's Pure Sword Qi, so his prowess alone would be far stronger than it used to be. If he considered that the Sword Qi might reach Rank 7 before he left this world, it was enough for other Gods to judge him as a threat.
[I know that you are working hard there. Besides, it's not like waiting for a few years is that unbearable since I will be wasting your thousands of years after everything has finished. No, we will.]
"Yeah. Despite having made you wait for a long ti for to reach God Rank Expert, I need to make you wait even longer."
[None of them think that way. We only believe that you are sacrificing yourself to protect us. That's all about it. And concerning this problem, it's not your own problem. As soon as you reach Rank 5 God, I will be contacting the other Rank 1 Gods that can help us in the future. After all, the reason you lost a few thousand years ago was due to you fighting that person alone. If I inform the other Gods first and have them prepare for what will happen, we can prevent many things even if the beast uses the sa trick.]
"I will be leaving this matter in your hand since I don't have enough ti to settle it. And rember, since the beast looks like a sly one, there is a possibility that there are Rank 1 Gods siding with the beast. If they infiltrate us, there is a big consequence."
[I understand.]
"By the way, what was the beast's previous tactic?"
[The beast cultivated the Earth first by giving the power that we called a weapon to kill Gods to them. To our surprise, there were around seven God Kings on Earth alone, so it was a big battle. And with the beast taking charge of the whole operation, our force didn't have enough hand and chose to sacrifice their lives to bring those God Kings down.]
"Is that so… Then I need to start using the Divine Gacha System as soon as possible. At least, I want our Eulja to have four or five God Kings first as an assurance."
[I will tell Korzan to increase the scale of the investigation then.]
"I leave it to you." Alex nodded.
