The Tale of the Devil Sword

"On my way to here, I collected a Seven Petal Ice Venom Suppress. A five hundred year Ice Venom."

Nigel stopped talking and looked at Kylo. Even before he spoke Kylo already had an idea what he wanted to ask.

And with this his guess was right.

This was the plant that Nigel collected that could suppress his poison to some extent.

As the name suggests, this Petal can suppress most kind of poison inside a body system.

The cold energy inside the petal will freeze the poison for a certain period after consuming it. That mainly depends on the age of the plant.

This plant infact could only be found in ice cold regions.

Even if the temperature is below zero degree, it's not certain you can find the plant there.

That's how difficult it is to grow these petals. Then the question was why could it be grown here?

This was the question that bugged Nigel. After all forget zero degree the temperature of this cave was as normal as it could be.

Even the place it was grown was normal.

[So why] Nigel had a frown on its little face.

But Kylo ignored that frown. He already knew it was because of this cave.

Or rather it was because of the elemental stones inside the cave.

That's right! The cave had all types of stones growing on its walls. And the plant was grown by consuming the energy inside those stones.

Upon hearing Nigel's request he simply shook his head. That meant Kylo was not giving him the petal.

No doubt, seeing this refusal put an ugly expression on the snake's face.

After all as a prince and a descendant of a True God, he never lacked anything. What kind of thing would he request.

Nigel, himself never remembered when he last requested something. But now met with the refusal he did not know what to do.

But before he could continue his thoughts Kylo interrupted

"Now is not the time to use it."

Nigel scrunched his brows after hearing it. He could not understand what the devil wanted to say.

Kylo, with a slight smile on his face, replied

"You should know the true value of Seven Petal Ice Venom Suppress and what it could be really utilised for."

For a second, Nigel had confusion on his face, but that soon turned into astonishment. He stared at his Soul Contracted partner in incredulity.

"If you are saying... no it is impossible."

Nigel initially wanted to confirm but then seeing Kylo's eyes the red creature knew his guess was right and shook his head to reject it.

With a smile still plastered on his face Kylo continued

"If it was earlier it would have definitely been impossible."

After saying he looked at the direction he came from and continued

"But now it is not."

Nigel was about to say it is impossible but seeing the look of confidence on his face, he gulped down his words.

[Is it really possible?] Nigel could not help but anticipate.

"You will know the reason soon, do not worry."

Kylo said looking at Nigel still having a complex expression on his face.

Then without waiting for any more respose from Nigel he entered the sword once again.

After slashing in the air, as usual, a crack appeared.

Kylo, skillfully controlled the sword and entered the void space happily.

And why won't he be happy? After all he was now at the Seventh Step Nascent Soul Stage.

Even though that was nothing but approximately only one tenth of his peak power, one should not forget he was only at Spirit Manipulation Stage few weeks back.

To be precise three weeks, and that was counting the time inside the cave which was twice as fast as outside.

That meant just around ten days passed outside. This was an incredible achievement no matter how one looks at it!

Soon Kylo disappeared inside the black void.

Nigel, not wanting to be left behind followed him without any delay.
