After setting things straight with Albert and Camila, Lucius quickly got to work.
He agreed to Albert's plan to enter the Sanctuary and couldn't afford to slack off.
The Sanctuary was a place only for the extrely talented and capable and even if he entered with a recomndation he would still have to undergo an exam.
A week had passed since he first ca to this world and Lucius had mostly recovered from his basic weakness.
Standing in front of the mirror, Lucius marvelled at the changes in his body over the past week. Even though he had been in this body for a while now it still took so ti getting used to his new appearance.
Ink-black hair that seed to swallow the light around it, a devilishly handso face that seed to be sculpted by the hand of a master artist and most strikingly a burning pair of blood-red eyes that carried a gaze that seed to piece through a person.
His looks may be rather deceiving, giving off the image of a charming young man but his eyes were truly befitting of a man that would be called a crazy demon a short while in the future.
Lucius tried a few tis to smile warmly in the mirror but with his sharp looks and piercing eyes, any warm smile just ended up looking like an arrogant smirk that made soone want to punch him.
Looking at his reflection that nearly made him want to punch himself, Lucius was left speechless
What should he say... As befitting for a villain I guess.
Say whatever you want about the god, but when it ca to creating Lucius he didn't skimp out in any regard.
Fortunately, he made him handso as well, If that wretched god had asked him to win the hearts of these stunning heroines inside an ugly body then he may as well have hung up his shoes and committed suicide on the spot.
Clenching his fist, Lucius was relieved to feel so power in his arms, no matter how little it was
His strength and physical condition right now wouldn't be much worse than an average healthy high schooler but when compared with the fact that he couldn't even move his arm without exhaustion a few days ago, it was an earth-shattering change. After all, this was a supernatural world with the elents and mana in the air passively nourishing the body, the baseline physical qualities of humans here are slightly higher than humans in his past life. In addition to this, the previous Lucius was a completely supernatural individual before.
Even though the vicious poison he consud had evaporated his physical and magical strength, regaining muscle was always easier than building it. But even after his relentless training and rapid progress, he was still miles away from the previous Lucius.
The original Lucius was an extrely talented magic swordsman with the traits and greatly befitting his characteristics and an end ga boss in the novel.
In addition, talents in this world were not just vague figures of speech but instead were real, quantifiable characteristics that could be accurately asured and explained
Take the talent for example.
For soone with such a talent, learning anything related to the sword would be as easy as eating and drinking. What could take other's years to achieve would take months if not just a few weeks.
It was the type of talent where one could watch a scene and gain inspiration from it or directly copy your opponent's moves and integrate them into your own in the heat of battle.
If you hear a story of soone seeing a natural disaster or watching a painting and then going on to create a new sword technique, it was without a doubt a person with the talent.I think you should take a look at
Even in the story, there were only a few characters seen with the talent, with the protagonist, of course being one of them.
The Sanctuary was the cradle for which humanity's brightest and most capable talents would gather.
It was jointly created by all human nations during humanity's darkest days to nurture and train the most capable warriors and heroes that would fearlessly face the overwhelming enemies of the human race.
Although it had been countless years since its founding and the days when humanity was near extinction were long gone, its tradition of only taking in the best and brightest was never broken.
In the original novel it wasn't hard for Lucius to get into the top class since he had both the strength and talent for it but now, forget about top class, he may not even be able to get into The Sanctuary itself!
For Lucius, this was unacceptable.
He must not only enter Sanctuary but he must securely make it into the top class!
As the class of the MC, there were naturally many heroines inside of it and if he was to win their hearts he must enter that sa class as well.
It was impossible to develop his strength and abilities to that level in such a short ti. If he was to do it then he could only rely on an outstanding trait and he knew just how to get one.
It was impossible to rely on the system store and accumulate the required Love Points. It wasn't a matter of lack of effort, it was just unrealistic.
Instead of the system, Lucius would rely on sothing else to achieve this goal.
After searching his mories in the book for so details, Lucius got rid of tasks that were unrealistic for his ti fra or would simply be too far or too tricky for him to get at the current mont in ti.
In the end, in order to gain a suitable trait, Lucius would summon a demon!
…..
In a dark underground room of the revolutionary army's new hideout,
A group of people could be seen gathered around discussing passionately.
"Young Leader, are you sure you should be doing this?" Asked Albert
"Even if we have dealt with demons many tis and often cooperate with them, you should know how terrifying and devious their contracts can be. They were nothing but just one pitfall! You already have a set of exceptional talents so there is no need to make a deal with demons to gain so talents like a desperate lunatic!"
Hearing this, Lucius just shook his head.
"Uncle Albert you should know that we can't do that. The Empire and by extension, The Sanctuary are our enemy. We have already confird that the Empire had planted spies and traitors in our midst. If it was soone like Camila who was sent for the infiltration into The Sanctuary then the risk wouldn't be high as only a select few in the Revolutionary Army know the full extent of her talents but it would be too dangerous for to do so. My talents are already widely spread and known throughout the Revolutionary army so I could even be identified. No matter how small the risk is, we can't afford to take it!"
