Cultivation Through Artifacts-Chapter 303 - Rebooted Bracelet!

Khal stood calmly before the Fairy and gazed at the spear with a nonchalant look before raising his hand and placing one finger on the tip.

"Were you not taught how to introduce yourself before you wish to fight someone? I don't believe a beautiful lady such as yourself doesn't even know basic manners." Khal smiled mildly as he pushed the spear slightly to the side.

The Fairy frowned upon seeing Khal's casual behavior, but knowing he was right she could only nod and say, "The name is Darla. Happy?"

"How cold..." Khal mumbled quietly but smiled and nodded, "I see, so it's Darla. A glamorous name for an even glamorous wom-"

"Quite the needless flattering and raise your weapon! We will fight!" the Fairy interrupted Khal, and put her weapon's tip back right before his face.

Khal frowned slightly. Although he has already met many arrogant and unreasonable individuals in his life, what Darla was doing was on a whole another level. Not only did she come and challenge him for no specific reason, but she even pointed her weapon at him in a threatening manner.

'This woman has problems...' was what Khal thought before he curved his mouth into a smile and crossed his arms before his chest.

"And exactly who decided that?"

"Me, naturally," Darla said in a cold voice.

"You? But I don't even know you yet you wish to fight me? For what reason? It's not like I have killed your parents right?" Khal asked with a grin.

"You didn't, but you have just used Nether Fire, a wicked flame of the Nether Race that almost annihilated my entire race during the Second Stellar War!"

She then took a deep breath and continued, "Although I cannot kill you no matter how much I wish it, I still can cripple you! So raise your weapon and fight!"

"At least feel lucky that we met here. If it would have been outside of the city walls, I wouldn't have hesitated to kill you."

'...' 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

Khal became silent, his smile no longer visible on his face. If at first, he thought the woman was trying to act arrogant and show her superiority, then now he was sure this time she was threatening him for sure.

And this meant huge trouble as now he not only had an enemy's wrath, but an entire race's that will come after his head even though he was not from the Nether Race.

He must find a solution to get out of this crisis without hitting or offending the Fairy before him. If he decides to fight her, that would only make things even more complicated as that would be akin to throwing oil onto the fire!

If he accepts her challenge he was doomed for use!

That is why he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, before sighing deeply.

"Young lady, I am pretty sure you have misunderstood something here. I don't come from the Nether Race nor my flame is called the Nether Fire."

After saying that Khal opened his eyes, which now turned sky blue with a crimson slit, and gazed deeply into Darla's before continuing, "My name is Khal Nevio and I heil from the human race. Although I have indeed just used flames, my Blessing is associated with my sight. And according to my knowledge, every race, including the Nether Race, can have only one Blessing, right?"

The Fairy looked speechless when she noticed that suddenly a presence broke out of Khal's body even though all this time he had none!

But shortly after, her delicate brows lowered into a frown, and her eyes narrowed into a slit as she examined Khal's aura.

'Is he telling the truth? But how can that be? I would swear on my life when he used his flames he used his Blessing, but then how can this be?'

And soon, she gazed into Khal's eyes, trying to find the truth or the slightest sign if he was using a trick. But no matter how long she tried to stare, she find nothing and realized that Khal's eyes were indeed a part of his body, it was his Blessing.

"See? I told you right?" Khal smiled when he saw that Darla lowered her weapon and sighed inwardly.

'That was close...'

"So... Is there anything else you want to say to me or you wish to watch me all day? Naturally, I wouldn't mind the latter." Khal asked with a smile when he saw that Darla was not moving an inch even after several minutes but simply stared at him in silence.

"Hmph!"

And just as he thought, Darla just sneered coldly before turning around and walking away with wide steps. This made the crowd around them walk away with disappointed sighs, as they thought they will be able to see a great fight between the two.

Watching Darla's back in the distance Khal shook his head and sighed, 'Although I can understand that my Hell Blaze and the Nether Fire could have some similarities, but do I really look like someone from the Nether Race?'

Swish!

"Huh?"

As Khal pondered about the question, suddenly the bracelet on his wrist lit up with a white light slightly.

'Finally!' Khal felt joy when he heard this and without hesitation opened his Status.

{Cultivator Status}

? Cultivation Talent: Power Imitation

? Natural Born Talent: Perfect Disguise

? Hidden Talent: Lost

? Body Essence: 32,463

? Beast Essence: 218

? Cultivation Stage: Body Refiner

'W-What?' Khal's eyes turned as round as saucers while his jaw dropped down to his knee from disbelief.

Although he was aware of his Talents finally being unsealed, he didn't understand why did his Cultivator Traits all of a sudden vanish from his status. But then, Khal quickly realized they disappeared because they were added to his overall strength during his ascension, so it only made sense that he could no longer see them.

'Then this means...' Khal waved his hand, and just as he thought, the panel of 'Cultivation Quests' was no longer among the rest.. They disappeared too.
