Chapter 142: Sword Believe

"Lightning Dragon Sword Art- Lightning Hurricane"

Holding two swords in his hand, Lucas leaped on the air and spun. Along with his body, the sword generates a massive hurricane by conjuring wind. The lightning traveled through his hands and coats his two swords.

Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!

Two lightning swords generate the lightning around the hurricane that was sharp as a sword. When the hurricane moves towards the group of brown apes, it slaughtered them like chopping a chicken. The lightning bolt revolved with the hurricane, piercing through those apes.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

"Hu! Finally got enough EXP." When the dead bodies fell on the ground, Lucas puts both of his swords in their respected sheath hanging on each side of his waist.

After four days of regular sword slaughter, he finally got two ranks up. His swordsmanship also improved a lot as he started Two Swords Style. It was a little hard but with the Sword Book given by Mad Beast Emperor, he quickly adjusted himself.

Unlike other power systems, swordsmen have a unique power system. For a swordsman, Sword Believe is the most important aspect. While learning swordsmanship alone for almost a week, he got the gist of his own Sword Believe.

After he entered the Ascending to Godhood, he began to push himself to the limit to comprehend the Sword Believe. From the Sword Book, he understood the levels of Sword Believe. When swordsmanship believes in something, he walks on that path to prove something.

But Lucas had nothing to prove. He only wanted revenge. So, he took an entire week to convert his thirst for revenge into Sword Believe of Protection. Yes, he transformed his thirst for revenge into a Will to protect his people so that he won't lose anyone like he lost his brother.

When he finally built his Sword Believe, he awakened the Sword Will. It was the first level of Sword Believe. And the second level holds Sword Spirit. Once he manifests Sword Spirit, he can finally condense a Sword Soul.

That will be the third level. Sword Soul is not a mere Will or spirit. It is a complete entity like a human soul. And finally, the last level of Sword Believe would be Sword Intent. Once he forms the Sword Intent, he can battle against all kinds of geniuses in the same realm.

Lucas takes a deep breath before he asks for a level-up. In an instant, cool energy flows in his veins and improves his body while creating a seventh core on the back of his neck. This breakthrough didn't take long. After his level up, he dashes outside the forest and moves towards the city.

He had already played enough. So, he wanted to return back. After he logs out of the Ascending to Godhood, his body replaced the clone. Taking out his helmet, he stands up and walked out of his room.

When he opened the door, Lauren who was cooking dinner with Jenny instantly heard it and said "Lucas, go to market and bring back a kilogram of meat. Also, only that must be the chicken breast."

Hearing his sister's order, he could only sigh and return back to his room. Stuffing a debit card in his pocket, he walks out with a sulking expression. His cold and sharp look was no longer present in his expression.

"Are you sure you don't need it?" Jenny turned her head at Lauren and spoke.

"Nah! I told you about my next plan, right? With that, my strength will definitely soar." Lauren shook her head and answered.

"By the way, I was waiting for an opportunity to ask this. Can I tag along with you guys?" Jenny hesitated for a moment but finally mustered up the courage to ask.

"Can't you control yourself to stay away from Mike for few days?" Lauren sighed at her expression and asked.

"No! I am not coming just because of him. You are going inside a Forbidden Dungeon. Obviously, I want to tagalong." Jenny shook her hand and tried to explain with an acute and flustered expression.

"Alright, but let me remind you. We aren't going alone. There is a team where I am one of the core members. This team decided to clear the Forbidden Dungeon. It was just a stroke of luck that my goal is also in that place." Lauren thought for a moment before replying to her.

Although Lauren agreed, at last, she didn't forget to warn Jenny.

Just when Jenny was about to say something, she noticed an unnatural expression on Lauren's face. She swallowed her words and waited till Lauren speaks.

"Jenny, can you promise me one thing?"

"Just say the word!" Jenny smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

Lauren hesitated for a moment and finally spoke "Scarlet Stagroar! I heard about her from Lucas. Jenny, after this dungeon raid, if I ever start acting like her. Can you slap me to remind me about myself?"

"Huh!" Jenny was utterly surprised by her words. But, soon a bright smile appeared on her face as she nods her head. Then, they continued their cooking.

"By the way, we have a guest tonight. So, we need to make an extra portion." When Jenny saw Lauren cutting vegetables, she spoke.

"Huh! Who is the guest?" Lauren asked with confusion as she stopped cutting the vegetables.

"It's Sunny. She said she had finished selecting the building and also hired some necessary staff. All she needs is an advertisement which she left in the hands of her assistant. I was surprised by her proficiency in the field of business. Even though she is slightly running over the budget, it's still great considering her age." Jenny spoke with an astonished expression as she explained more.

"But, I don't understand. Why did Mike think of opening such business?" Lauren was also surprised by her but her reaction wasn't as big as Jenny's since she doesn't understand the business properly. In just three days, Sunny not only hired the workers but also established the company.

Not to mention, she is still a sixteen-year-old. Though, age really doesn't matter that much.

"He said he wanted to become a God of Sex," Jenny smirked and answered but soon both of them burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! Does he even know what God of Sex means?"

......….

Inside the Café

Mike was sitting with three ladies at each side.

"Achoo!" Suddenly, Mike sneezed and murmured, "Is someone cursing me?"

"Are you alright?" Olive asked with little irritation on her expression.

"I am just sad that this talk is going to end so soon." Mike sighed as he showed her a discouraged expression.

He was gloating about the fact that none of them were moving out even though he was using Sex Aura. That made things pretty amazing. But, their talk was too short.

After ten minutes, Olive and Ava decided to leave making Mike smash his head on the ground. But Mike quickly accepted it since it was already 5 pm. He also had something to do. He didn't linger around with Alena and returned back to his room.

After having an early dinner, he went to his room and sat on the bed. He took a deep breath and finally fell into deep thought 'Although I wanted to talk more with the ladies, I have figure out a solution to face that half-elf.'

'My strength should be equal to that of High-Level geniuses, so why in the hell I felt life-threatening danger against those half-breeds? Something is not adding up! Either master is hiding something from me or is it me who hasn't reached High-Level Geniuses rank?'

'Currently, I can't improve anything. Wait a freaking minute, I remembered something. Claire, there are two remaining quests, right? One is a monthly quest while another is a yearly quest. This thing always bothered me but I never got a chance to ask it.'

'Is Pioneer Body Evolution the same as Unique Talent Evolution? I have a feeling that Pioneer Body is not related to my unique ability. So, what is it then?' Mike suddenly asks Claire making her startled.

'Host, I can't answer you correctly. Just remember 'Yin and Yang created chaos, the chaos created Pioneer and Pioneer created everything.' Now, find the answer by yourself.' Claire didn't explain anything instead gave him a hint.

'So, where was I? Yes, I was searching for a method to improve my strength. From those comics and anime I've watched, there is a certain method that the main character needs to find to improve himself. These methods lie within his body. So, I need to find a way that can give me a significant boost of strength during battle.' Mike gradually sunk himself in his thoughts and completely forgot about the hint given by Claire.

His idea was simple. Let time reveal everything. He doesn't want to waste his brain cells to find the meaning hidden in those words.

More importantly, he had something really important to do. This night, he wants to create a trump card.
