After learning about the nature of the second requirent of the first-floor trial, Cyrus wanted to know the details of the third requirent as well.
But to this surprise, Leo said that she couldn't rember the full details of the third trial as everything was blurry about it. All she knew was she was talking to soone, and the topic was unknown.
Then Cyrus lets Leo rest after giving her the sa instructions and rewards as Leona and Carla.
But he was not done with the system, and he instantly launched an inquiry about what was happening.
However, the system only gave him a subtle reply that the first-floor trial was designed to test the people joining the temple's true motives and desires. Most importantly, how they see him and to what kind of lengths they could go for him.
In the end, Cyrus has to drop the topic since this thod was quite effective, and the system seems to care about these things far more than he does. So, he let it be.
At least he now knows that whoever can pass the second requirent will pick him over their families, and this was a pretty big deal. He could understand Rita doing it since she might not have a deep attachnt to her family, but Hilda was doing the sa; it was news to him.
Nevertheless, he still appreciates it and their loyalty toward him, and despite Rita failing the first condition, he won't bla her at all.
The last place to visit was naturally Hilda's place as he decided to go there in the last since the rest of the four were injured and needed rest while Rita needed both rest and so ti to sort out her thoughts.
Hilda was the only one among five who passed all the two trials prerequisites, and she wasn't injured but only exhausted.
This result was very satisfactory, and Cyrus knew it was now ti to reward her and break the final barrier between them.
When Cyrus appeared, Hilda was resting with her eyes close on her bed as she had completed the trials before the other girls, so she had plenty of ti to rest.
But she was extrely vigilant as the mont Cyrus appeared, she opened her eyes and almost lunged over her bed, ready to fight.
But when her eyes landed on Cyrus's smiling face, she lost all her vigilance and relaxed, and like a graceful lady, she sat straight.
"I hope you don't mind coming here unannounced," Cyrus said as he sat on a chair close to the bed.
Hilda shook her head, "You can visit anyti you want."
"Glad to hear it. Tell , is this place to your liking?" Cyrus inquired smilingly.
Hilda nodded without hesitation, "This place has a special effect on my cultivation as well as I seed to recover far quicker than usual. I should be thanking you for providing this special room for ."
A flash of surprise passed through Cyrus's eyes as this wasn't known to him at all, and only soone like Hilda could point out this sort of detail. If this was true, then it ant these rooms were probably far more capable than the system was giving them credit for.
"Then it's a relief." Cyrus acted like he wasn't surprised at all and said aningfully, "You are the only one who passed all the prerequisites of the two trials and earned six rewards, which ans I owe you twelve prizes.
"Since you already have a cultivation technique, then you don't need a new one like the other. I gave you access to the entire knowledge sanctum, and you select ten pieces of knowledge that will be equivalent to one promise.
"You can also use those promises to make teach you or do one thing for you as long as it is reasonable and within my power. I give you full reign since, at this mont, I can only give you so much, and as my Dao Companion, you have the right to demand things from anyti you want, even if I owe you nothing."
Cyrus's gentle words made Hilda's eyes widen as she felt very complicated at this mont and even felt touched by his generosity. She knew what it ant to have Cyrus owe her those promises with his current status, which made her complicated.
She never thought she would feel such emotions for a man in her life, and eting Cyrus was sothing like a dream.
"I won't disappoint you and do my best to help you with any matters." Hilda solemnly stated.
"I'm counting on it." Cyrus chuckled before he said, "Are you ready to get rid of that abomination on your face? It won't cost you anything since I already promised to get rid of it in the first place, and this is what I should do."I think you should take a look at
Hilda's eyes twinkled like stars as she was waiting for those words and quickly nodded without hesitation as her eyes went cold, "I would be troubling you then."
She was slacking off from her cultivation because of this mask since she knew most of her efforts would be sucked dry by it, and she didn't feel comfortable with it on her face anymore.
So, she was holding up on her Qi cultivation and waiting on Cyrus to get rid of it, and the ti had finally co.
Cyrus's lips curled up as he summoned the Lust Sword.
Eve's jolly voice rang at this mont, "Cyrus, I can really see what is happening inside the entire dinsion space without your help. But the thing is, I can't seem to see inside the temple without you summoning first. This is so frustrating!"
Cyrus wasn't surprised by her ability to see into the dinsion as he suspected this much because she was the dinsion core, after all. But the news about her not being able to see in the temple without being summoned first was quite strange.
"Well, you should be happy about not getting bored in there anymore. The temple is probably a boring place. You can keep an eye on those people outside and make sure they won't cause trouble. You can be like their Guardian Angel or Antagonist Devil." Cyrus stated.
"Oh, I like Guardian Angel more! But still, you would be in the temple with all these vixens doing all those… t-things!" Eve ranted in frustration.
Cyrus instantly knew what the real problem was here, so he said, "Don't worry, they won't take your place even if they want you. You will always be my first one."
Eve's mood instantly lightened up when she heard those words.
"Why are you here?" She finally seed to notice Hilda.
Cyrus then explained what he wanted to do and Hilda's problem.
Hilda, on the other hand, was looking at the sword blade materializing from Cyrus's hand with great interest. She had never seen anything like the Lust Sword before, and for so reason, she felt that sword blade was too sharp and would cut her the mont it touched her, and she won't be able to resist.
She had seen this sword in the projection, but it was entirely different seeing it up close, and Rita also told her ambiguously that Cyrus's sword was very powerful and special.
But she felt it would be out of her place if she asked about it. Even though she was starting to open up with Cyrus but she was not comfortable enough to ask him about his personal belongings or prowess.
Cyrus, after a mont of silence, finally spoke with her, "Alright, now I'm going to use an ascension grade spell to remove the Spiritual Mark on your mask and replace it with mine. This way, the previous owner's control over it will be gone, and with it, all the restrictions and commands he emplaced on it as well.
"You might feel uncomfortable during the process or so pain even, but I can assure you that there won't be any harm to you directly. If you are ready, then I can start now?" He inquired with a solemn expression.
Although he can cast an ascension grade spell, it was not just any normal spell but a very complicated spell despite being only level-1. So, he needed Eve at his side to supply Qi and Hilda's full cooperation, or he will suffer a deadly backlash.
Hilda took a deep breath and nodded, "I'm ready."
"Give your hand. We don't want to turn your new room upside down if things turn out to be ssy."
Cyrus took Hilda out of the temple into a remote location in the dinsion.
Afterward, Cyrus had her sit down cross-legged and placed his hand close to her mask with a cold expression on his face. Black Qi suddenly shone in his eyes as he started to perform hand signs at a terrifying speed with his hand in front of the mask.
Even Hilda was left in a daze when she could only see blur instead of Cyrus's hand, but she could feel her heart palpitate when powerful Qi started to emit from it.
Cyrus uttered coldly at this mont, "Level-1 Ascension Spell: Law Eraser!"
