“Hmm… he isn’t as helpful and cooperative as you. At least he never placed any human being in his eyes.”
“It’s expected,” I shrugged, “after all he isn’t entirely a human anymore. Besides, all of his strength ca from that race and not from being a human. I think he might even hate himself for being born as a human.”
“He once told this,” she nodded, confirming what I guessed already.
“But that doesn’t count as a weakness.”
“If you looked up at it from another angle, then it is,” she said and I got what she ant.
“It’s hard to prove he isn’t a human. No one of his forces is going to believe .”
I knew what she wanted to say here. Having a leader that wasn’t a human or wasn’t on the side of humans was sothing enough to drive most of his forces away.
But history proved how cunning and cautious this dude was. After all, he succeeded in building a kingdom in my ti.
“Hmm… I can’t recall anything remarkable about his weakness.”
“Then how co you defeated him once?” She told this before. Out of five tis they both clashed together, one ended up in her victory.
“That’s… I don’t frankly know the reason,” she seed struggling to give an answer.
“Tell , when did you et him before? I an considering the ti of the apocalypse.”
“All past quest fifteen,” she instantly replied, “out of the five tis, the one I defeated him was when I t up with him at quest fifteen.”
“Hmm… Interesting.”
“You got an idea or what?” she looked up at with anticipation, but I shook my head.
“It’s just a feeling, nothing more,” I lied. After all, what she said matched what I knew about him.
Ed didn’t shine before quest ten, didn’t expand to the central zone until quest twenty or sothing. Facing him in quest fifteen proved this. And it also proved how wrong his timing this ti was.
He wanted to et up with at quest five? That was too soon for him. If nothing new happened, then he was destined to lose.
Thinking about this cald my thoughts for a bit. I started to slowly think about what I learnt about him from her. She told he had such a unique ability from his god and cultivation.
But didn’t these two need ti to bring out results? Even if he was destined to grow strong, this would take much more ti than just five quests.
I recalled what Ed said. He belittled my achievents, bragging that he did that before. According to what history recorded about him, he didn’t kill a paragon before.
All foes he fought against were just of archlord calibre. This was logical though. After all, paragons seed to sit back and watch the initial fighting going on between their archlords and other races’ archlords.
This ant the strongest foes he might have killed so far would be archlords. Would that be threatening to ? In fact I doubted it.
Did he have another hidden weapon up his sleeve? Or did he receive external help from his god?
There was another option that I excluded almost instantly. He couldn’t be the kind to underestimate his enemies out of his ego and pride.
If I had to choose, then I’d place my bets over the help from his god. If he got the help of his god, then why wouldn’t I receive the help from mine?
Sith already left a recording about his thoughts about my future cultivation path. I listened to it already and got lots of inspiration regarding what I should do.
But I never had a chance to think thoroughly about the questions that recording stirred up. In fact I never took the issue of cultivation seriously until now.
If there was a way to turn tables around against Ed then it would be through my cultivation. However…
I had both my hands busy with everything for a long ti. I had to organise my forces and sent part out to claim the areas around my capital. Also I needed people to stand here in protection.
Then I’d have to go and enter that dungeon. After that there was my eting with Fang and Wryly, and that big war.
After that war I might have a chance to sit idle and think about my cultivation. If things went smoothly for , then I’d be able to do that in just the middle of quest three.
If things went south, then I might reach the early stages of the fourth quest before I’d have ti to think about my cultivation.
“He asked to et up with him at the golden quest… Do you know how I can get that kind of quest?” This was sothing extra important for .
Golden quests… The first ti I heard about them was just before coming here. The old man told to look for his race and help them out at golden quests.
After all this ti in the apocalypse, I started to learn more about the real situation of the old man’s race. That race wasn’t living exactly in the universe.
It was trapped in a separate ti loop as I understood. So how could golden quests help save that race? Or the real question should be how the golden quests help et this race?
“It’s easy for you,” unlike what I expected, Hilary seed confident about my ability to access golden quests, “after all golden quests are given as a prize for your overall performance in the previous quests.”
“Like an evaluation?” I asked and she nodded.
“The system marks every five quests as an evaluation for everyone,” she explained, “so at quest five, and considering your current achievent so far, I’m sure you’ll be able to get access to the golden quest.”
“But I’m not going to take part in quest three or four…” I paused as this was sothing unexpected for . If the system was going to evaluate my progress and performance at the prior quests, then it was challenging for to gain access to the golden quest.
