Chapter 111 -101 Summoning “Sincerity” _2

It surely couldn’t be possible that someone used a Vortex to keep Sonia as a woman of leisure!

As for the snide remarks like ‘she’s just lucky,’ if they ever appeared in the ‘Sword Flower Exchange’ on the Veil, it would only provoke students into a mocking frenzy and lead to a ban—all rise of Legendary Mages requires a touch of luck; those with bad luck would have long been bullied by the Void Realm into pitiful whimpers.

Attacking a Mage’s luck is the most embarrassing behavior, as shameless and boring as saying, ‘If he couldn’t breathe, then I could definitely beat him.’

Therefore, Sonia had no need to deny it, moreover, she couldn’t deny it now even if she wanted to.

Felix fell silent for a long time. Just as Sonia was about to enter the dormitory area, he suddenly asked, “After you passed through the Vortex, did you encounter a severely injured Fish-Slicing Dragon, and obtained the Slaughter Sword from it?”

Sonia was taken aback for a moment. Whatever she was thinking at the time, the ritual had already decided what she would say, “Yes.”

...

Felix seemed slightly surprised; he hadn’t been expecting such an answer. If Sonia truly had encountered one, she surely grasped the implication behind Felix’s words.

Given Sonia’s personality and abilities, she certainly could have denied it flawlessly, not letting Felix catch the slightest trace.

Felix’s fingers gently tapped on the steering wheel and he asked, “What price would I have to pay to buy back the Slaughter Sword from you?”

Although Sonia wanted to firmly say ‘Not for sale,’ her mouth obediently replied, “Grant me a noble title.”

Felix was momentarily stunned, “Didn’t I mention to you before that if you marry me—”

“I don’t like you.”

It was a marriage of convenience for the sake of benefits, what does liking have to do with it?… Felix was about to blurt out this question, but seeing the serious look on Sonia’s face, he swallowed his words and sighed, “If you don’t wish to take that path, then I don’t have any other conditions that could sway you… Wait a moment.”

Sonia decisively withdrew into the dormitory area, wondering if Felix was actually contemplating forcefully taking a Technique Spirit from a maiden under broad daylight.

She saw Felix take out a piece of paper, scribble on it, and then fly it over to Sonia, “Burn it after you read it. Can this be worth owing me a favor?”

Sonia took it and saw, to her astonishment, it was a Miracle Technique called ‘Slaughter Animation,’ with the Slaughter Sword as the main Technique Spirit.

Unlike the simple power enhancement of ‘Evil Light Slash,’ ‘Slaughter Animation’ was a very complete Composite Miracle. Its effect was to allow the Mage to convert Killing Intent into their own enhancements, comprehensively boosting strength, explosive power, reaction speed, stamina recovery, and other parameters, with the intensification effect increasing as the Killing Intent concentration rose.

It was a Miracle that proved extremely useful both in the Void Realm and in reality because Killing Intent didn’t just refer to the enemy’s intent; the Mage’s own Killing Intent was also included.

In the Silver Realm, ‘Slaughter Animation’ could grant a Mage up to 150% increase in power. Such a practical Miracle, even if Sonia smashed her piggy bank, she couldn’t afford it.

Clearly, it was a matching Miracle that Felix had obtained alongside the Slaughter Sword.

“With this technique, would you owe me a favor?”

“Yes, but it’s only roughly worth one silver coin as a favor. If your request exceeds one silver coin, I will guiltily and uneasily deny it.”

“You sure do calculate precisely.” Felix laughed, “I will use this silver coin favor at the most appropriate time.”

“But are you just giving it to me like this?” Sonia asked in surprise, “No signing a confidentiality agreement? No other conditions?”

“There’s no need, just make good use of the Slaughter Sword; don’t waste it.”

With that, Felix drove off, leaving Sonia somewhat bewildered, thinking is this how the wealthy are, nonchalantly giving away a Miracle Technique with a wave of their hand?

However, it is indeed understandable. As the “Slaughter Sword” of the “Secret Swords Twenty-One Spirits,” it was too difficult for Felix to acquire it again. Therefore, the Miracle of Slaughter Activation was almost meaningless to him; he might as well give it to Sonia as a courtesy.

Moreover, it seemed that Felix planned to switch to mastering Poison Skill, Water Magic, and Wind Skill, and his swordsmanship had become just a disguise. Professor Trozan was merely a temporary shelter he had found. Now, he had no competitive relationship with Sonia.

That said, Sonia couldn’t help but marvel at the audacity of the noble family’s foolish young master. If it were her, she would never dream of giving away a Miracle for free. At the very least, she’d require the other party to fork over some money to appease her stingy heart.

However, the activation of Killing Intent required two additional Technique Spirits, which were costly, and might not even be available for purchase, adding insult to injury to the already not-so-wealthy Sonia.

As if fortune followed hardship, Sonia unexpectedly obtained two Technique Spirits and three Miracles within a single day. Just mastering these “new equipment” would consume quite a bit of her time.

If it were the Sonia from half a month ago, she would never have imagined that one day she would be troubled by having too many Technique Spirits and Miracles.

Yet, at this moment, what troubled Sonia the most was neither Technique Spirits nor Miracles.

She had wanted to go back to her dormitory to relax, perhaps watch Dedarose’s new show or something. But after hesitating for a brief moment, she still chose to go to the training hall to practice with her Technique Spirits.

…

At 11 p.m., Sonia arrived at the Meditation Building on time.

Although the school was still under martial law, areas outside the white giant tower were mostly back to normal operation, like the cafeteria and training halls. Only the lessons were canceled, letting students self-study all day—many of them wished such days could continue indefinitely.

While searching for the Gate of Truth, Sonia suddenly felt a bit anxious, but she quickly calmed herself down.

‘I was still forced to train in swordsmanship for two hours tonight… Clearly, the Observer’s power is still at work…’

‘And with amnesiac resurrectors like that, even if they died, they would certainly come back to life…’

‘If something really happened to him, wouldn’t that be great? Then I could gain freedom. After all, I have already condensed the Silver Wings and temporarily do not need him for exploring the Void Realm, he is of no use to me…’

‘However, he probably just successfully escaped from prison last night and accidentally fell asleep, which is why he didn’t come to the Void Realm. How could it be so easy for something to happen to him? Speaking of which, if I showed off the Technique Spirits and Miracles I just got, would he be surprised?’

Caught up in these wild thoughts, Sonia found the Gate of Truth, sunk into her consciousness, and entered the Void Realm.

Her soul passed through layers of darkness and fog, her consciousness took shape in the Void Realm. Sonia slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was the familiar small boat and the peculiar man.

His voice was still as frivolous and unreliable as ever: “Good evening, Sword Maiden.”

Suddenly, Sonia forgot all the lines of complaint and rebuke she had prepared.

Like a weight lifted from her heart, she breathed a sigh of relief, her hand lightly touching her chest, revealing a smile of great relief: “It’s good that you’re alright.”

This sudden show of concern left Ash momentarily stunned, but before he could respond, a gleam of gold burst forth from the summit of Sonia’s chest, transforming into a dazzling One-winged Technique Spirit.

Its exterior seemed almost transparent like a butterfly, with only one wing, but as it fluttered, it refracted a seven-colored light, as magnificent as bubbles in a dream.

Even without touching it, upon seeing it, Ash and Sonia knew the name of this Technique Spirit.

‘Sincerity’.
