The Tale of the Devil Sword

The cave opened slowly once again and two human; an old man and a young man took off

They were none other than Liu Zhengnan and his butler.

"Was it really a good decision?"

The blonde maid asked with a weird look on her face. It was a mixture of excitement and happiness.

Kylo just had a smile on his lips watching them fly with his {Soul Sense}.

Avery did not interrupt him, just watching his handsome face quietly from the sidelines.

After a long while, Kylo said softly

"Not everyone is worthy enough to make {Soul Contract} with me."

Avery did not say anything. But from her blooming smile even a stupid person could see she was happy.

Kylo then turned towards her with his usual smile on his lips. He said

"You should now start cultivating mana."

Avery nodded her head with a dejected look on her beautiful face. Rather than saying weak, she was totally useless right now.

It would be a tedious work even for someone like her who have awoken her mysterious and almighty bloodline to reach the previous levels.

Kylo understood that. He simple smiled and waved his hand.

Suddenly countless purple colored stones with few dark blue colored mixed in it flew in front of the blonde girl.

Her jaws dropped seeing those stones. For that were not normal stones but mana stones. (A/N1)

She could not wrap her head how come so many mana stones appeared out of air.

She opened her mouth to ask her doubt. But Kylo beat her to it and said

"Do not worry. There are plenty of mana stones I have with me."

"Just cultivate comfortably and reach your previous heights."

She closed her mouth. Yes how he got these stones did not matter.

[After all all these resources are for me right now.]

Kylo just shook his head. She was right. The cave had lot of stones growing on its walls (A/N2.)

No need to store them. Growing Avery's strength right now was priority.

She quickly sat in lotus position and started absorbing mana from all those stones without any care.

*BOOM*

It took her less than ten minutes before breaking through first step of Alpha stage.

The first step of Alpha stage power approximately indicates the power of fourth stage of Qi Foundation Stage. (A/N3)

Kylo was just watching everything with a light smile plastered on his face. He was not surprised.

After all no matter what she was a Combat Soul Cultivator.

[But it will slowly get difficult in the future. After all cutlivating Mana and Qi is basically different.]

He knows how big of a difference it is to cultivate these two paths, since he had many subordinates under him who were Mages.

And he was looking forward to her progress.

After all even previously when she was just at the second step of Soul Combat, Kylo could confidently say not many below Supremo could defeat her.

And now with this bloodline

[Even Minor Saints should be helpless.]

Just when he was thinking about it he got a message from Nigel.

<I am done.>

Three simple words but Kylo understood what he meant to say.

Nigel completed the passageway and was near the formation.

[Finally]

Kylo let out a sigh. His cautious nature was really something Kylo did not expect.

Shaking his head he looked at Avery and said

"That runt reached the end of his passageway."

She rolled her eyes. She would have been confused who was the "runt" if Kylo did not complete his sentence.

She waved her hands impatiently and said

"Master can do whatever he wants to do... Oh give me few more stones okay."

She pleaded with her puppy eyes for more stones. Or atleast that was what she intended to do.

But this time it was Kylo who rolled his eyes. While flicking her forehead once again he told her

"You first absorb mana from these stones. If you need more I'll give you."

She pouted but agreed at the end. Not that she had any other choice.

Kylo laughed lightly and once again entered his 'body' to teleport himself.
