"Khaos Gate? What the hell is that!?"
Annara responded with a confused expression and questioning gaze when Ery asked her. As it turned out, she had never heard such a thing co out of her master Zenonia's mouth.
"Well, I only beca her pupil for 3 years before all hell broke loose. So yes, it's very possible that such a thing exists, but I don't know anything about it."
To be honest, Ery had sowhat expected such an answer. However, he still did not want to give up just yet. Hoping she might have seen sothing, he explained it was a portal that should have been placed on a formation rune and should be sothing her master tried to hide.
Unfortunately, Zenonia went and moved around places using a portal on a daily basis, since she was a space magic user. Therefore, his vague questions were not sothing the girl could easily answer.
However, she did ntion that Zenonia seldomly left the Darkness Institute, so much so that the place was basically the ho of female grand magus. Most importantly, she let him know there was indeed an area beneath the institute that not even her direct pupils were allowed to enter.
Ery's gloomy face brightened upon hearing that, but then the red-haired girl asked a question that made him frown again.
"Even if that is indeed the place you are looking for, how are you going to get there?"
Annara quickly expressed her reluctance on the matter. Due to her status as a wanted fugitive of the Magus Alliance, she basically had no intention of returning to the Magus Academy or even coming anywhere near the place.
On the other hand, Ery had a different thought. Since the Darkness Institute was closed down since the elf attack, there was a higher chance they could sneak into the place without any problems.
"And you will be my guide there," Ery finished his words, essentially urging the red-haired girl to help him.
Even though Annara wasn't too happy about such an outrageous idea, she was quite curious and wanted to see what had beco of the place. After weighing the risks, she eventually agreed to Ery's request.
"Fine. But we will only leave after you are done with the Ouroboros' situation."
In response Ery nodded, he was also of one mind with her demand. Silva's condition was their main priority right now. As for the dark elves in the Khaos Domain, the fabricated stories he had given them should have bought him so ti.
Despite the fact the dark elves had seen his and Morgana's faces, Ery wasn't too worried they would get into trouble any ti soon. After all, what the forr saw was his [Shapeshift] face, while Morgana could be considered a ghost in the Magus Universe.
Those should make it hard for the elves to find out who they really were. But at the sa ti, it would be a different matter if the other party were to look into the Silvermane Wolf Guild's database.
"Just to be safe, we probably shouldn't stay in this place too long," Ery said to Morgana.
If the Royal Hunt wasn't just 20 days away, Ery would reconsider his promise to the Silvermane King and most likely choose to leave. Nonetheless, the addition of another [Ancient Wolf Blood] would be crucial to his bloodline and Silva's recovery.
"Alright, that's settled then. Let's get prepared for the Royal Hunt."
First things first, Ery sent Morgana and Tatyana to do more Wolf Guild's tasks so their fa points t the C grade requirents. Since he worried about the two of them, especially the forr, he asked Annara to accompany them.
With a smirk, the red-haired girl clapped her hand and said, "Alright! Girls day out it is!"
After sending the group away, Ery went back to his residence and joined the training with the two remaining mbers of his pack, Yoro and Andrei. For the spar, he brought out the Tier 5 sword he had just recovered. The pitch-black [Savage Sword].
Now that he wielded the familiar weapon once more, Ery found himself having an easier ti re-learning the sword skills he had forgotten. It didn't take long before he started unleashing various battle art techniques with the pitch-black sword.
[Heroic Strike] [Chain Strike]
With his newfound knowledge of the Wolf-specific techniques, Ery found his current sword skills to be much more aggressive than before.
Both Andrei and Yoro were unable to match him at all, the sa happened even when they attacked him together. Forcing the old chief Beowulf himself to join in the sparring. Ery was quite proud of his improved sword skill when after a few exchanges the old chief paused and said he was not impressed.
Of course, he quickly explained in more detail why.
"I admit it is a great technique that can quickly overwhelm your opponent. However, at the sa ti, it also creates too many openings. My advice is that you should refine this technique further and find a good balance between offense and defense."
Ery listened attentively to the old chief's words. Hearing the last sentence, he was reminded he really needed to re-learn his [Dao Divine Sword]. He naturally had been trying, but without the other part of his soul, he found it extrely difficult to find that balance.
There was also the [Shadow Edge] and [Void Sword] he learned from Zenonia. Unfortunately, before he recovered his other half and darkness core, he wouldn't be able to cast any of them.
Unwilling to waste ti sulking over what he lost, Ery brought out the two daggers [Shadow Bane] and [Moon Dagger]. He imdiately tried to use them and discovered that the darkness elent Tier 6 dagger was extrely difficult to use in battle. It outright refused to be used by him no matter how he tried.
With such a disheartening outco with the first dagger, Ery didn't have much hope for the Tier 3 dagger. But then, while he was practicing his dagger techniques with it, he didn't realize it was already night.
To his surprise, he saw the dagger shining with clarity like never before. Before he could think about what was going on, he felt a pleasant sensation coursing through his body, empowering him.
[Blessing of the Moon Activated]
[Battle power increased by 15 points]
Ery was in complete shock when he found the dagger not only increased his combat power, but was also able to strengthen his Magus Core. What he was feeling right now was simply extraordinary.
As he had never experienced anything like this in the past, Ery couldn't help but think there was sothing related between the power of the dagger and that of the Wolf planet.
Unable to contain his excitent, Ery continued to swing the dagger, recalling his [Hidden Stab] technique and one final technique in his mory.
[Oga Strike]
As the dagger collided with Yoro's spear, Ery was surprised to see the dagger was suddenly crack.
"...Damm!"
