Chapter 1056: A Noble Sacrifice



"...Are you sure?" Though he understood where the two were getting from, Valyr could not help but feel like things were proceeding too quickly, considering that he'd only been a part of the Mystic Plane for a bit over four days. "I don't think I deserve to get this."

"You do," replied Mystia, with Marcus nodding in agreement to her words. "Sure, you may have only been with us for a short amount of time so far, but as I've already mentioned earlier, you've already contributed a lot to the Mystic Plane."

"In fact, you've contributed more than me in some areas of the Mystic Plane," she continued, even going so far to sacrifice a hint of her pride to show Valyr how serious she was.Findd new stories at novelhall.com

Seeing that the young man was now beginning to hesitate whether to accept the subclass or not thanks to her words, Mystia decided to strike while the iron was hot. "Just accept it. It'll help you immensely once I begin teaching you alchemy."

Wanting nothing more than to furiously scratch the back of his head at this moment, Valyr suppressed his urges as he briefly took a calming breath.

Then, going over the words that left Mystia's mouth, he looked at the two and asked, "What kind of subclass are you giving me exactly?"

Glancing at Marcus, Mystia nodded at him before answering the young man's question. "It encompasses pretty much everything I've said so far regarding alchemy."

"It's a subclass that not only allows you to do more with less in the field of alchemy, but it also allows you to delve deeper in the style of alchemy I specialize in. The one that involves Mystic Energy."

"The subclass is called the Mystic Rune Alchemist, if that helps," said Marcus after Mystia was done, prompting the latter to briefly give the man a thumbs-up in response.

Though he felt a hint of amusement at the interaction between the two, Valyr closed his eyes after the two were done explaining, going over various things in his mind as the gears within began to turn.

A minute later, Valyr opened his eyes once more, faintly nodding as he looked at the two with a determined expression. "I've decided."

At those words, the two looked back at him with anticipation, eager to hear the young man to make what they considered was the natural choice.

Unfortunately for them...

"I'll have to pass."

As these words left Valyr's mouth, it took a while for the two to recover from their shock, with Mystia immediately persuading the young man to accept it the moment she snapped back to reality.

"It's a Growth-type subclass, you know?" said Mystia, not bothering to hide important details anymore. "Sure, the subclass starts off at Common grade, but it can go up to Mythic grade if you work on it for long enough!"

Valyr paused in response to those words, the hesitation he'd buried earlier gradually resurfacing because of it.

However, he remained steadfast, shaking his head as he inwardly let out a sigh.

If he still didn't have a subclass after getting this far in his journey, then it went without saying that Valyr would've accepted the offer in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately for the two, not only did the young man get a subclass early on in his path to power, but he'd also gone through many tribulations and trials to transform to what it currently was.

"Pretty simple, really," replied Marcus, the serious expression on his face gradually being replaced with a confident smile. "Since you don't want to replace the subclass you currently

have with the one we're giving you..."

"Why not just give you a space to put the subclass in instead?"

"Wait..." Hearing those words come out of Marcus' mouth, Valyr took a while to process what he'd obtained before responding back. "That's possible?"

"It is." Marcus nodded back in response, slightly amused with the shock that was prevalent on the young man's face. "As far as I know, bestowing someone with a second subclass slot is usually an ability only available for the stronger middle concept planes."

"But I have confidence that I'll be able to emulate this ability to a certain extent," continued the man, only for his smile to become crooked soon after. "Somewhat... I think. I hope so." "..." Seeing Marcus' confidence fluctuate through so many levels so quickly, the shock on Valyr's face gradually disappeared, slowly being replaced with the look of doubt as he stared at the man in front of him. "Are you really sure you want to do it?"

"On second thought... wouldn't it be a better question to ask if you could do it in the first

place?"

"...I wouldn't have brought up the topic if I didn't at least guarantee that I could make it possible in the first place." At this point, Marcus began to slightly frown, which was only met with Valyr's laughter the moment those words left his mouth.

In fact, even Mystia could not help but begin to find their conversation amusing, a faint

snicker erupting at the edges of her lips as she thought about the back and forth that happened between them so far.

"..." In the end, the man let out a low sigh before flaring out his aura at his entirety, reminding both Mystia and Valyr that they were interacting with none other than the

personification of the Mystic Plane.

Whoosh!

Though, just as the man's aura put a bit of pressure on the two, this pressure intensified by at

least ten times all of a sudden, forcing both Mystia and Valyr to endure the pressure Marcus was giving off as the two reminded themselves what the man planned on doing. Fortunately, the sensation of being overwhelmed by the man did not last for long, with Marcus moving quickly during the limited time he was in an empowered state.

Swoosh!

Conjuring a bead of iridescent energy, Marcus did not hesitate to send it towards Valyr, whose body immediately accepted it before he could even register the bead's existence in the first

place.

Ding!
