Chapter 66 Who Are You?

Cyrus felt he was making a mistake, but he could still feel faint lingering Destruction energy from those skeletons who had risen to dust.

'She is only cultivating a Dark Silver Grade Sacred Glyph Chart, which should be a silver element glyph chart. Even the weaponry spell she used belonged to the silver element. Then how could she use one of the rarest elements, Destruction?'

Cyrus's eyes shimmered as he thought of something, 'There are only two possibilities that could explain it. Either she had a connate affinity with destruction element and not an ordinary affinity but at least above 80%. Or she has a unique physique related to the Destruction element. Only then can she unknowingly use destruction energy without even realizing it.'

The destruction element was on par with Yin and Yang elements. But cultivating them with a technique and having a connate element affinity or physique were entirely different concepts.

For example, Rita had no connate affinity with the Yin element or any element, as a matter of fact, because this was quite rare. However, if she had even a 5% connate affinity with the Yin element, her cultivation speed would be even faster.

People with a connate affinity of an element can practice that element technique far faster and grow at a terrifying speed which depends on the connate affinity percentage, which was 1% to 100%. Above 100% were unique physiques, people like Cyrus and Eve.

Simply put if someone were to raise their affinity above 100%, they would awake a mortal-grade unique physique. But it is far easier said than done. Especially to awaken connate ability with rare elements like lightning, light, darkness, and such, not to mention even rarer elements like yin, yang, space, or destruction.

That's why Cyrus was quite intrigued when he saw Hilda's sword skill contain the energy of destruction, and it was not something that a silver-grade sword spell could create, nor was Hilda strong enough to perform a silver-grade spell of destruction element.

Because the easiest spell to learn was of five basic elements like fire, water, wind, earth, and metal, while the mutant element spells like lave, ice, storm, sand, and wood were ten times more difficult than basic elements spell.

Lastly, the rare element spells were 100 times more difficult than basic elements, while rarer element spells were 1000 times. The Qi consumption was also the same for each element spell.

That's why he was sure that Hilda either had over 80% affinity with destruction elements or at least a mortal-grade unique physique. Only then can she use the destruction element in the environment.

'If she really has affinity or physique of destruction element, then she is a reserve Valkyrie material. But it still yet to be seen if she's willing to follow me for the rest of her life.' Cyrus felt nostalgic when he remembered his 99 Valkyries who were hand pick by him, and all of them were terrifying beauties who were only a step away from becoming Gods.

Although he had many women in his life, a Valkyrie was someone who could have at least a 50% chance of ascending to Godhood.

A hint of killing intent flashed past his eyes, 'Whoever killed me should be a terrifying enemy. I just hope those girls would not try to take revenge and flee.'

'Boomm…'

Just when Cyrus was getting worried about his old partners, a terrifying explosion happened, drawing Cyrus's attention as he saw Hilda had annihilated over a hundred stage-2 skeletons with a single slash.

Those skeletons were also turned to dust which made Cyrus's eyes narrow ever so slightly, 'I need to touch her if I want to confirm if she had connate affinity or physique related to destruction.'

At this moment, the silver blimp suddenly started to rise as it was about to take flight.

'They should probably be going to find that oath relic. Which means they aren't worried about her getting overwhelmed by those skeletons…' Cyrus thought as he was now choosing to follow them in search of this mysterious treasure or approach Hilda and make her follow him.

Looking at the masked woman who was fearlessly charging in the sea of skeletons like a war goddess, he decided to stay. Cyrus moved his feet up and stepped in the air, and let the blimp fly away toward the area-1 direction.

If Grey had known Cyrus's character, he wouldn't let Hilda come in contact with him even if he had to fight tooth and nail with him.

After the blimp left, only Hilda remained, as she didn't seem to bother by it at all. She was confident in getting away if she needed to, and she was getting excited as she killed those skeletons.

For as long as she could remember, she always enjoyed destroying things while everything else felt boring. No matter what she tried, she felt no emotions of joy, not like when she was in battle and becoming strong.

In her generation, she was proclaimed invincible in the same rank. Because no one in her family of the same age could beat her, this makes her feel somewhat empty and even more cold and dismissive toward others.

No one dared to approach her because they were afraid she would ask them to spare with them, and that's why she had no friends. She only felt close and could show some emotions with her father, mother, and Uncle Grey.

But she knew far better than anyone that the only time she truly felt alive was when she killed, and for some reason, the more she killed, the more she wanted to kill more and destroy everything.

She had never told about this strange feeling of her to anyone because she didn't want to appear bloodthirsty, especially in front of her mother, who was kind of gentle and always advised her to be kind to others, and she hated violence.

However, now she could finally let go and kill those things, and no one would judge her because they were deemed as 'enemies' by everything.

Hilda's eyes were filled with mirth as she slashed her sword, creating a silver streak and killing a large group of skeletons. Those skeletons simply knew no fear as they charged at her mindlessly.

However, when this nonchalant voice rang, she was alarmed, "Your way of using magic energy is simply too crude. I guess it's not your fault but the lowly technique you cultivate."

Hilda instinctively turned around and was startled for a moment when she was the handsome young man smiling at her. Although she had seen many handsome men, he was leagues above them.

Still, this feeling was only fleeting as it faded like every feeling she had as she emotionlessly asked with a hint of vigilance, "Who are you?"

Since this young man could appear right behind her without alerting her, he couldn't be simple. Even her uncle might not be able to sneak up on her, especially when she is in a battle mood.

Cyrus looked at Hilda's emotionless eyes as his smile widened, "I am someone who can help you realize your full potential!"

Hilda's eyes turned colder as this guy who didn't seem even younger than her wanted to teach her. She didn't ask any more meaningless questions, and with her sword in front of she rushed toward him with killing intent.

As long as he was not from family and appeared in this barren palace, she could kill him without being worried about anything. Besides, he was the one who provoked her.

Cyrus had expected this much as he could feel this woman would only listen to him if he beat her, and the faster he beat her, the more his words impacted.

So, without hesitation, he snapped his finger using a Golden Spell, "Gravity Shackle!"

Hilda, who was quite confident in getting rid of Cyrus, suddenly felt alarmed as the danger sense she developed from her life-and-death battles was ringing like a morning bell. She instantly gave up attacking and tried to dodge.

But to her horror, a terrifying pressure descended on her, and her feet felt thousands of times heavier than normal as she couldn't even move an inch.

'An Epic Spell?!' She thought in horror as she knew her opponent was probably as strong as her father and the old monster in disguise.

At this moment, Cyrus's voice rang again, but it wasn't gentle anymore but filled with disdain and killing, "See that? I can beat you with a snap of my fingers and even kill you with a thought. Now, I'm going to release you and show you the right way to use your gifts.

"However, if even after that you remain blink by your meager arrogance, then we have no destiny together. I don't have habits to nurture narrow-minded idiots."

Hilda felt a hint of fear when she heard Cyrus again and was even humiliated by his words at the end. It was her time someone dared to belittle her like this, but she didn't have words to refute him because the other party's strength was not something she could counter.

However, when she felt the pressure on her got diffused, and what she saw next left her in awe…
