Chapter 1014: What Should've Been Done



"...[Essence of Immortality]."

"[Repentance]."

With Clazarek having accrued a massive number of injuries all over his body, Vaughn decided to end their fight once and for all as he hastily did a quick sword dance.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Infusing his Divine-level energy into his swords, a myriad number of blades soon manifested in the air the moment Vaughn swung both swords down, all of them piercing through Clazarek's body as if it were tofu.

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

Though each blade pinned him to the ground, Clazarek merely let out a grunt in response, his eyes still brimming with anger as he looked at the man that brought him to this state in the first place.Findd new stories at novelhall.com

On the other hand, Vaughn recalled his Celestial Realm back before sheathing both of his swords.

Letting out a sigh after that, the man looked at Clazarek with disappointment. "Why did you do that? Why did you plant your mark on someone who didn't even want it in the first place?"

In response to the question, Clazarek remained silent, continuing to stare at the man before him with anger in his eyes.

Then again, if one were to compare the anger that appeared in his eyes before, the werebeast's current anger was more subdued.

After all, the man that stood before him remained unscathed all throughout the fight, instilling a sense of fear that diminished part of the werebeast's anger.

As if he had noticed that fear, Vaughn decided not to ask any further, knowing that he had made Clazarek learn his lesson.

Turning around to head back to where Valyr was, Vaughn left Clazarek a few parting words. "Never do that again."

With that, the werebeast was soon left alone in his private subspace once more, still pinned to the ground as a result of Vaughn's skill.

"Naive," murmured Clazarek to himself as he confirmed that both Valyr and Vaughn had left his subspace for good. "Do you really think I'll follow your words just because you told me to?"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Though he could ask for Vaughn's help a couple more times, it's not like the man is obligated to respond to his pleas after that, no?

"Haah." As the thought of lacking strength pervaded the young man's mind, Valyr soon began to think about the multiple things he could've done to improve his strength even further, but skipped or forgotten due to various reasons.

However, all those thoughts were pushed to the side as a familiar voice reminded him of the most crucial thing he could've done to improve his strength.

"Why don't you ascend to a higher class rank?" Having taken care of Clazarek, it went without saying that Vaughn returned to where Valyr was, dispelling the barriers around the young man after making sure it was safe.

"Well..." Though Valyr instinctively felt like there was a reason why he should stay at this current rank, after mulling over it for a bit, the young man soon began to realize that there was no reason for him to stay at his rank in the first place.

Nevertheless, the young man did not want to say that outright, soon making up an excuse that sounded believable enough. "Didn't you tell me the Records are the most effective while one

is still a mortal?"

"Pretty sure I told you they're most effective when one is still below the Divine level," clarified Vaughn, immediately seeing through the young man's excuse. "Sure, you could try to push the Records as far as you can while you're still a mortal..."

"But is there really a reason to?"

"You're way stronger than your class rank shows, Valyr." Vaughn looked at Valyr in the eyes. "I may not know how strong you are right now when you go all-out, but the fact that you

easily dealt with Rank 5 beings in the inheritance is no small feat."

"I have a feeling you still have a few things here and there you could do to improve your strength a bit further," continued the man. "But as it stands, you're just limiting yourself if you continue to remain at your current class rank."

"Isn't strength what's most needed right now in the war? Wouldn't increasing your class rank be the easiest way to do that?"

"..." Hearing Vaughn's explanation, Valyr merely remained silent, the various thoughts in his mind running rampant as the man's words served as a long-needed wake-up call to him. Seeing the young man remain silent, Vaughn inwardly let out a sigh as he had an idea of what was going on in his mind. 'At times like these, I notice that you put the cart before the horse

sometimes.'

Wanting to give Valyr the time to figure it out on his own, Vaughn soon conjured a rift before

them.

"Let's head back."
