Chapter 58: Preparations for the Demon Hunt!

Chapter 58

'But well, whatever it may be, fate or destiny, Lucia was able to somehow find the place of trial and through a series of fights with her other companions, she cleared the Oracle's trial and was thus rewarded with the awakening of [Tomorrow's Path] bloodline!'

"Haha... what a plot!"

Oliver could not help but clap lightly; this was very much fate or destiny for Lucia.

He wanted to obtain the bloodline as well!

[Tomorrow's Path] was a powerful bloodline revolving around Oracle and Fate. He would be stupid to let this opportunity fly past him.

'I will need to leave the clan... I need this bloodline before going to the academy...'

Oliver thought with a serious look in his eyes.

He felt it was better to train on his own. According to his calculations, he wouldn't be able to grow much if he remained in the clan.

His treatment in the clan was not the best, and giving treasures to Nadia was becoming difficult.

She would not accept it and would strongly insist against him meeting her. With the way things were, it would be quite difficult for him to remain in much contact with her.

She was not naive either; he could not trick her into using the treasures and artifacts to grow, as he had hoped.

He realized that he had very little control in this situation; people were not as easy as depicted in the novels he was used to reading.

He realized this, fortunately, and now he must plan his growth accordingly.

Staying in the clan was not optimal; sure, Nadia could grow powerful over time, and so would he, but then what would be the use of him reincarnating in this fantasy world?

He wanted to explore the world himself as well, see the various mystical things; if he waited until he got strong, then it would be a big waste.

There would always be someone stronger than him, so did that mean he needed to wait until he became the strongest? How much time would that take? Some centuries? He was a normal human and did not have that level of patience.

He could never spend centuries doing the same thing and following a single routine every day; he would die of boredom.

He could not understand how the novel protagonists would suddenly become like ascetic monks after experiencing reincarnation. Being able to spend a thousand years in some random cave or being a janitor in some sect only to come out when enemies invaded?

Maybe they were indeed extraordinary, but he sure was not, and nor did he intend to spend the majority of his life in one place.

He doubted that exorcists outside would ever refuse a free elixir or artifact; well, they would even try to kill him to get it and here she was.

He received some occasional strength boosts from her during the following months. And his body status was now something like this:

_______________

[Name: Oliver Mystic]

[Race: Human]

[Strength: Level 4]

[Espera: Level 1]

[Charisma: Level 3]

[Luck: Level 2]

_______________

"The demon Hunt will begin in a week..." Oliver muttered as he wiped off his sweat after an intense training session.

In the good span of many months, he did not dare to slack at all; he received tenfold strength boosts during these months and thus trained as a physical exorcist.

He decided to specialize so that he would not be lacking compared to others of a sane level in strength.

Although he did not get any techniques other than [Sovereign Strike of Infinite Freedom] from Nadia, he paid that no heed and instead searched for new weapon techniques himself.

The market was huge, and there were all sorts of mysterious sellers; it was hard to find good techniques, but he was persistent and was thus able to get some good stuff.

"It's only a week before I will be in the presence of the elders and the other heirs; I must prepare myself for this mentally as well."

He looked at the various equipment laying around him: a rapier, a spear, a dagger, and an axe.

Of course, he was someone from the modern world, and he knew just how useful versatility could be when it came to mastering weapons.

He would naturally not limit himself to one or two weapons; mastering more weapons was better for him.

In the future, if he bound himself to another target specializing in another weapon, style, and art, he would have difficulties adapting if he was already not accustomed.
