Chapter 74 Beckon Of Calamity

Cyrus was astonished as he guessed what Hilda was trying to imply by bringing out the Unknown Rank Dimensions, "Are you saying the reaming three continents became these Unknown Rank Dimensions, and they swallowed entire continents?"

Even Rita was dumbfounded by this information, and her expression went somewhat pale, "Didn't this mean all those humans there before the dimensions appeared were?"

Hilda nodded and coldly replied in affirmative, "Yes, they were no survivors, and to this day, no one has ever come back from those Unknown Rank Dimensions alive!"

Cyrus felt quite intrigued by these Unknown Rank Dimensions, which could swallow an entire continent-wide area upon their formations.

'Well, I'll go there once I break the mortal shackle.' He thought.

"Alright, you guys, stay here and chat. I'll go and bright our dinner." Cyrus was no longer interested in Rita explaining the cultivation to Hilda.

So, he decided to leave them and hunt for something. It was also faster this way. The ladies also didn't object and decided to wait for him.

Afterward, Rita started to explain about cultivation as Cyrus did to her once. Hilda was fascinated by all the information about the cultivation system.

But Rita didn't expose about Devil's Spouse Technique to her because Cyrus had warned her not to reveal her cultivation method to anyone without his permission.

Furthermore, Cyrus only told her to introduce Hilda to Qi and cultivation and not to teach her the Devil's Spouse Technique. But she still told her about the element she practices.

Hilda was quite shocked when she discovered that elements like Yin existed and Rita could even use Ice Element Spell because of this special element which was quite rare even among the Uniques.

She was even more determined to learn from Cyrus now and was in great anticipation about which rare element Cyrus would teach her. Even someone like Rita, who was ordinary, could learn the Yin element, so she was confident of learning such an element even more quickly.

This conversation also bought their relationship to a close as Hilda was now opening up a little to Rita and not so cold as before. It was her first time having a chat with a peer, so it was a novel experience.

While Rita was quite friendly after she let go of her small grudge against Hilda and found her quiet to her likely as Hilda listened to her seriously.

"Sister Hilda, why do you hide your face? Is there a special reason? If it's personal, then forget about it." Rita couldn't contain her curiosity as she finally asked about the mask.

Still, they weren't that close, so she would understand if Hilda didn't comment on this.

"No, it's not like this. When I earn the Silver Wing Dimension Bloodline, the temple priest gifts me this mask. He said never to reveal my face before I turn 25, and I need to be in his presence when I put off this mask, or some calamity will befall my family." Hilda revealed.

This secret was only known to her father and mother. Not even her Uncle knew about it. But she decided to tell Rita since she was with Cyrus, and she was also hoping to tell Cyrus to inquire about his opinion.

Rita was astonished when she heard about this strange condition. She thought Hilda was hiding her face because she didn't want to show it to anyone, but there seemed to be a deeper meaning behind it.

"You should tell Cyrus about this. I wouldn't trust that priest from some different species if I were you. Besides, Cyrus's knowledge is unfathomed, so you can trust him." She seriously explained.

Hilda nodded and didn't reject this suggestion, and then she asked something that was bugging her, "Where did Lord Cyrus come from, do you know?"

Rita didn't directly reply to this question. Instead, she smiled mysteriously and asked, "What did he tell you?"

"He said he's from the slum district," Hilda replied with uncertainty. She clearly didn't believe it since his existence was completely out of comprehension.

Rita giggled as she guessed what Hilda was thinking, "Then you should believe him. I can tell you one thing for sure, Cyrus never lies because he doesn't need to. With his power, do you think he needed lies to get what he wants?"

Hilda can't refute that statement as she knew Rita was just stating the fact. But it only made her more confused and Cyrus equally more mysterious.

At this moment, they heard noises from the woods, and both women became alert. But they let their guards down when they saw it was Cyrus who was walking with a big dead deer hovering behind him.

"I got lucky." He grinned.

"I'll get woods for fire!" Rita quickly stood up to collect the woods as she started to feel quite hungry as well. However, she could go without eating for one month as long as she relies on Qi. But it is not easy to discard her mortal habits.

Especially after she experienced the underworld dimensions where she couldn't find anything to eat besides cold winds, and this only made her cherish these feelings even more.

"I'll help you dress it." Hilda was lost as to what to do, so she decided to help Cyrus to gut the animal.

But Cyrus shook his head and smiled, "Just rest. You are already quite tired. You're still hiding your fatigue despite losing your magic, which is already evident in what sort of training you have gone through in your childhood.

"However, there's no need to go to the extreme when you have companions who you can entrust your back." Said Cyrus, which only made Hilda feel worse.

Still, she didn't insist anymore and only watched as Cyrus used magic to dress the animal like an artist, and he did it within a minute. Hilda was instantly drawn by Cyrus's precise control over his Qi as if he was using a limb.

Rita was soon back with many blocks of wood, and Cyrus also let her rest as he took the cooking job upon himself for today.

The three of them then enjoy their dinner as Rita keeps praising Cyrus for his roasting skills while Hilda nods in agreement.

After their meals, Cyrus creates two dark spell barriers and says while looking at Rita meaningfully, "Rita go and cultivate. I'll come back after I'm done teaching Hilda."

Rita's eyes lit up as she licked her lips alluringly, "I'll wait for you." She whispered lusciously in Cyrus's ears before she vanished into the barrier full of hidden anticipation.

Hilda narrowed her eyes as she made a wild guess. Still, she knew better than to ask, and she was too distracted by the thought of Cyrus finally teaching her about cultivation.

"Shall we?" Cyrus smiled at Hilda as he pointed toward the other barrier.

Hilda nodded before she followed him into the isolated space, which was like an illusion to the outside, and it was also soundproof.

Cyrus sat cross-legged before he pointed in front of him and said to Hilda, "Sit."

Hilda's heart raced for some reason as she sat down a foot away from Cyrus, as she could see his peerless face even more closely now.

"The reason I'm teaching you alone is that the path of cultivation is different for everyone. You can use someone else insights as a reference, but you should never try to follow in the same footsteps, or you will never be able to find your own path to immortality.

"Rita's cultivation path is different from yours as well, not because she is not as gifted as you but because your cultivation method is going to be vastly different from Rita's. In comparison, she walked the path of pure lust, and your path is inclined toward pure destruction!" Cyrus explained impassively as his smile had long vanished.

Hilda's eyes shimmered as she asked, "What is the path of destruction, and why does it suit me?"

Cyrus answered emotionlessly, "Because you are Beckon of Calamity!"

Hilda trembled as confusion appeared in her eyes, and a storm of questions rose within her heart.

Before she could question, Cyrus continued, "First, let me tell you about Connate Affinities and Unique Physiques. A person with a connate affinity would have a natural affinity toward a particular element, or in some rare cases, there can be two affinities or even three.

"These affinities bring benefits while cultivating the same element with connate affinity. The affinity can be measured on a scale of 1% to 100%, and the higher the affinity, the greater the cultivation speed.

"But when a connate affinity crosses the threshold of 100%, it will give birth to Unique Physiques. Unique Physiques will only have powerful cultivation talent but also special supernatural abilities related to that element.

"There are eight grades of Unique Physiques, Mortal, Ascension, Deity, Immortal, Supreme, Divine, Divine Supreme, and Origin Supreme. Each Unique Physique Grade is then further divided into Incomplete, Complete, Perfect, and Pristine levels." Cyrus patiently laid the outline.

Hilda was completely absorbed in that fascinating information and almost forgot what Cyrus had said before!
