Lucius was now a first rank warrior and his cultivation at the first layer, we must say that cultivating to become a warrior is not easy but less difficult than mage cultivation the difference reside in the place where cultivators stores the energy , to guide the energy in the soul space require extreme concentration and harmony with the world .
Leyak discovered that the cave was not as it seems so he concluded that inside it was probably a treasure, Lucius after reaching the first rank warrior decided to go deeper in the cave and indeed he found a treasure and also traps , the first trap walls that were hidings blades , Lucius trained body allowed him to pass it easily , after that he finally walked in the treasure room but this time golems appeared , following the advice of Leyak he found their weakness and successfully killed one of the four beast golems , now he only had three of them for enemies .
Lucius seeing the golem not moving on the ground was relieved but the three others roared in frenzy, angered from losing one of their kind, so they immediately attacked him at the same time, Lucius seeing the upcoming attack didn’t have the time to relax, he dodged two attacks but the third landed on his shoulder reaping apart his clothes and injuring him, he hastily retreated with several steps.
“ Hmm? brat you have a long way to go you need to further train your reaction time , your attacks are not weak but your dodging ability is so so “ (Leyak )
The voice of Leyak resounded in mind, Lucius was luckily not heavily injured it was just minor so he shot forward like lightening pushing one of the golems and isolating him, the short sword flashed and the eye of the golem was pierced , this was the second golem dying .
“Now there is only two “(Lucius)
The two remaining golems had no choice but to attack, Lucius taking advantage of a wall jumped up and evaded the attacks, his realized that his sword was in a sorry state so he grabbed another one from the treasure, this time it was a normal sword, now that the number of the beast golems was reduced he easily killed them.
“Whew! Finally I finished them “
“Brat you took some time “
Now that Lucius killed the golems he can take a look at the entirety of the treasure
“woahhh there is so many weapons and gold, there is even armors “
The weapons varied, there was swords, short swords, great swords, knifes, bows, spears ext … , there was boxes of gold and some upper and lower parts of armors , but Leyak was feeling strange a huge cave like this was only holding on some normal weapons and armors , it was too suspicious .
“Brat why are you so mesmerized by mere these weapons? They are low quality weapons”
“But there are so many how can you know that there is not a good one “
“Trust me, there is no good weapon or valuable things, didn’t you see the short sword break in your hands?”
“But then there is money “
“The gold may be valuable to you because you are a mortal, but something here is not clear, I find it very strange “
Leyak from Lucius consciousness was examining the cave, every inch of it was inspected by him, and suddenly he sensed something.
“Hey there is a secret compartment some faint energy is emanating from it it’s probably an illusion too bad I’m here mortals can’t hide anything from me ku ku ku… quickly go find it “
“Ah yeah!”
Lucius then excited began to search by touching the wall behind the treasure after several minutes his hand passed through the wall, he was shocked how can a hand pass through a solid.
“Kid don’t worry it’s the illusion, that is fake part of the wall “
That was indeed a fake part, after Lucius hand passed through the illusion dissipated and instead a small rectangular hole with a box within it appeared, the box was roughly eighty centimeter long, Lucius grabbed it from the hole.
On the box a peculiar symbol was drawn, it was a snake coiled around a sword, Lucius opened the box, inside it was a long pitch black colored sword, it did not reflect any light, and it radiated a strong aura that stupefied him .
“Oh? That is the true treasure hahahaha the man that hide it probably made that illusion and the easy traps were a mere diversion what a pathetic human how can me a Demon God cannot see trough it ? kid this sword was forged with black metal , it’s a rare ore in the mortal world , one of the hardest, and you can channel through it you energy , not bad for a sword , the man probably was lucky to find it or acquired a chunk black metal ore “
“Oh from your tone master this is a rare weapon “
“Yes, in your continent that is “
“Master what do you mean?”
“Oh nothing it’s too early for you to know “
Lucius was puzzled, he didn’t know why Leyak told him that,” too early what did he mean? ” that is what he thought.
“This sword is a good weapon, don’t let others steal it from you and you probably need to train more to use its full power “
“Yes master!”
The next day, Lucius was below the waterfall in the meditative state, around him no sound were emitted there was only big trees with different colors the sight was ferric with the waterfall, the river and the forest mixed with colors.
There was 2 days left and he was allowed to leave the forest, in these two days he spent his time practicing a few moves with his new sword and meditating.
He discovered that the sword was extremely sharp and hard he tried to hit a stone and a deep and clean cut was appeared, it was indeed a treasure and now it was in his hands, he was very excited and happy, all of this was because of the help of his master, he was truly grateful for allowing him to train and cultivate, his swore that he will become strong, so no one would humiliate or insult him anymore.
“It’s finally time to leave this place I can’t believe that I spent three months here now I will go to the city “
“Kid what city are you talking about? I never said that you will go to a city when you leave “
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
“What??? But master where can I go then “
“I have an idea but before I need to tell something”
“What is it master? “
Lucius was disappointed but he was paying attention, Leyak tone became serious.
“Did you forget that I told you that you have a special consciousness?”
“Yeah I remember you said that my mind can focus on several tasks “
“Good if you have that special mind then you can also train in the mage way “
“What!!!? Really “
“Kid when did I lie to you?”
“Mm I’m not so sure “
“You!!... You have someone like me as a master and your spouting this shit “
“I was kidding just kidding!!”
Sometimes Lucius and Leyak would argue like this, it’s pretty amusing to witness their exchange.
“Brat I’m a warrior god I can’t teach you magic “
Indeed Leyak was a warrior god and mighty one at that.
“Then how can I practice?”
“That is the problem but I have an idea, in your mortal realm there is schools you can enter one and have the teachers teach you “
Leyak thought that mage instructors would be a big help to lucius.
“And if I don’t have talent in magic?”
“Impossible if you don’t have talent then what is the use of that special mind of yours, it will be a waste “
“Then I have an idea of what school I will enroll in “
“Oh and where is it “
“It’s in the city of Noria it’s called Sirius Academy, when I was in the village I heard that some of the elite children of our clan will take the entrance exam.
One of the elite children was the son of Gallard , Lucius never saw Dillon in the village so he didn’t know .
“Hmm Sirius huh, but this is perfect “
“The entrance exam is in two months master “
Sirius was a great mage that founded a school in Noria he played a big role in the war between Efrea and Odron in the past.
“There is no problem in these two months before the exam you will train to reach the 2nd layer of cultivation “
“What!! Isn’t two months too short?”
“Not at all, this continent powerful magical beasts are all in the wilderness so there is probably some lesser magical beasts in some other areas do you know one that is near? because you will actually train in there that will raise your battle experience, some life and death situations will affect your mind and suppress your fear, some beast golems are not a real opponent “
Lucius thinking of the magical beast that was mentioned in his books was scared, the magical beasts were terrifying and like their name they can use magical skills and techniques so they are more dangerous than normal beasts, but how can he get stronger when he is frightened like this, he needed to change for his important goal.
“master there is a place that is on my mind its named iron mountains , it’s an area with magical beasts , uncle when describing the cities mentioned it and I think it is drawn on the map “
“Then it’s decided you will go there “
Lucius retrieved the map and began to look at it, indeed the areas surrounding the city of Noria were also drawn, after finishing looking he then saw that the Iron Mountains were several kilometers ahead and in the way of the city he then walked to the road and left the forest.
A noise resembling that of a carriage surprised Lucius but when he turned to look it was truly a carriage a young man was driving it.
An idea popped inside the head of Lucius, he thought that maybe the passengers of the carriage would agree to take them.
The young man saw Lucius and was startled he thought that it was bandits but it was only a youth with long red hair,
Lucius approached the carriage and looked at the young man.
“Hey Mister where is your destination? “
“Oh the city of Noria “
“Can you take me with you?”
The young man was scratching his head not knowing what to do, suddenly the door of the carriage was opened and girl came down, the girl was such a beauty that the driver was not looking at Lucius anymore, her body was slender with cute features, her eyes were big and azure colored, her skin was white and smooth and her hair was long, pink and silky, no one would not be charmed when seeing her but Lucius had no reaction whatsoever, the girl Looked at Lucius but suddenly another person came down from the carriage it was an old man with gentle face and grey hair he was skinny and looked fragile
“Mm …driver why did the carriage stop?”(Old man )
The young driver snapped out of his mesmerized state due to the beauty of the girl
“Ah a person was hoping that we take him with us to Noria” (driver)
Looking at the slightly tattered clothes of Lucius the girl snorted
“Humph!! Look at this commoner why would we take him with us “
A voice rang in Lucous head
“Hey brat did her seriously treat us of commoner if I had my body I would rip her to pieces “
“Shut up master, why are you so angry?”
Lucius Ignored the young girl and spoke directly to the old gentle faced man
“Mister would you take me with you to Noria please “(Lucius)
“Don’t ignore me commoner don’t you know who I ‘m? (Young girl)
“I don’t know” (Lucius)
The young girl frowned
(How can this boy not be charmed by me) she thought
“How rude! But you are definitely a commoner so I won’t take you with us “(Young girl)
“Now now lady Eleonora we can’t ignore a person who needs help do we? And your father told you that you must be nice to others” (Old man)
The old man in Lucius eyes was a good person but the girl was haughty and arrogant
The young girl looked at the old man, and smiled
“Humph! A noble lady like me is so nice, commoner you should be honored to ride with me” (Young girl)
Lucius ignored her another time and looked at the oldman
“Thank you grandpa “(Lucius)
