It had been a few days since Erste woke up his body had healed and he was able to move, but his mana circulation was still not flowing properly. While Erste was recuperating Gratz continued to visit him. Even Nikki, Tala, and Miguel would visit him every now and again.
Nikki ca one day and told him that he had finally beco a mber of the squad and she was able to acquire the mana of a New god.
...
The mont they saw this scene so of the incarnations watching from the soul realm noticed that the original incarnation seed to be affected by this sight. It was only for that single mont, but as people who had better senses than most beings, all the other incarnations noticed the change in the original incarnation's look. Only so of the incarnations understood what that look ant, it was a look of regret and disappointnt.
Those incarnations that understood the look of the original incarnation were confused. The only reason they had regrets and disappointnts was because even though they were the strongest of their era, they were still too weak to protect what they wanted to protect, but the original incarnation was different from them.
They might have been the strongest of their respective eras, but the original incarnation was the strongest period. Even among all of them who have been called the strongest and had nurous legends, the original incarnation was stronger than all of them combined. Not only was the original incarnation stronger than all of them, but his luck was beyond any of them as well.
So what kind of thing could such a person who could do almost anything he wanted regret? The question lingers in the minds of those few as they continue to watch the next scene.
...
Erste who was able to move properly now started practicing. In the battle against the Old God, he knew the reason for his victory was because of luck. If he wasn't able to tap into that unknown energy then he and Gratz would have died back then.
'Heh, the next ti I fight I'll win not by luck but by my own power and skill.'
Even as his mana was not flowing properly he could feel his strength growing stronger and stronger the more ti passed.
'When I defeated that Old God the form my soul took was that of a sword, maybe I might be the best at using a sword.'
Erste had trained in different forms of martial arts and was good at almost all forms of cold weapons, yet he didn't know which he was best at since he was extrely talented in combat, and no matter what he used it felt the sa to him.
Seeing as the sword was the best fit for him Erste decided to put all of his effort into gaining more proficiency with a sword, which is why he was currently swinging a sword around. While Erste was practicing Gratz arrived.
"Sorry, did I disturb you?"
"Nah, not really, I was about to take a break anyway."
"Is that so... I have to say your form was beautiful."
"So what brings you here, surely it's not just to give a complint?"
"Of course, I forgot that you're not one for pleasantries. So direct to the point as usual, right?'
"Yeah, so what is it?"
"Rember when you asked if you could et the leader?"
"Of course, I do."
"I did tell you before that you could only et the leader after you have proven yourself by doing countless missions."
"Can you just get to the point already?"
"As impatient as ever, long story short the leader has deed you worthy. So that ans you get the chance to et the leader."
"Hoh, so this mysterious leader decided I was worthy... Now I'm even more interested in eting this so-called leader. So when can I et your leader?"
"Whenever you want, you can et the leader now, later at night, in the morning, whenever you want. All you need to do is tell when you want to et and I'll guide you there."
"I can et your leader any ti. Do you guys no longer need to sleep?"
"You should already know the answer to that question."
"Actually no I don't know the answer."
Gratz was quite surprised by what Erste said as he looked at the other party. At first, Gratz thought that Erste was once again trying to make fun of him, but then he saw the expression on Erste's face.
"You really don't know?"
"Would I even ask you this question if I knew the answer?"
"No it can't be, I can sense mana in you and you have beaten an Old God, surely... This doesn't make any sense... Erste do you still need to sleep, and eat?"
"I do sleep, and eat the sa as before."
"Do you do that because you need to or because you want to?"
"What kind of question is that, of course I do it because I need to... Don't tell ..."
"That is right, you should have already guessed it, but aside from gaining a longer lifespan, we who have been bathed by the blood of gods no longer need to eat or sleep... But... Why do you who has so much mana and power, soone who was able to defeat an Old God still a..."
"A normal human is that what you were going to say?"
"..." Gratz was silent as he stared at Erste.
"Well, I guess that's a mystery that we won't be able to solve today, for now, let's get back to what we were originally talking about."
"You're the one who derailed the conversation."
"You changed old man, you used to not talk like this, what happened to you being an elegant gentleman?"
"That was your fault, I have been hanging out with you too much... No matter, even if you have corrupted a little, I still believe that I exude elegance."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say. So about eting your leader, I want to et now."
