After Gale died and the Outdated Mistress was dropped at the doorways of loss of life, many in attendance needed to go away as shortly as doable, however nobody dared to take action with out making their well-wishes identified. After seeing the Heavenly Couple’s true battle prowess, they not harbored any ideas of disdain or complacency. So, how may they go away with out parting with presents for the younger inheritor?
Elena giggled. “They had been all scrambling to see who may curry the bigger favor. That coupled with that evil plot of yours and the Tatsuya Clan reaped fairly just a few rewards.”
Ryu smiled frivolously. His so-called evil plot was simply one thing he had stated on a whim to vent a few of his frustration. He had been planning to allow them to off the hook after permitting them to squirm slightly, however plainly even when he had been awake to take action, they would not have dared settle for his mercy.
“Simply hand every little thing to the Clan Treasurers, I do not want such issues anyway. It is higher if the Clan could make use of them.” Ryu’s phrases appeared nonchalant and light-weight, however Elena frowned, catching a double that means inside them.
“Are you making an attempt to say that the Clan will want such treasures?”
Ryu was a bit shocked by how sharp Elena was. In truth, he ought to have lengthy since been used to this by now. Elena had at all times been a free spirit who lived life as she noticed match, however with that got here a deep sensitivity to these round her. She was so in tune with herself that she usually reached out to others to share. It was a unconscious dream of hers for everybody to style the liberty she had. Her coronary heart was merely that giant.
From the skin wanting in, Elena and Ryu ought to have by no means been collectively. To name their personalities polar was inappropriate solely as a result of the outline did not go far sufficient. It wasn’t a easy matter of opposites attracting each other as a result of their tendencies had been so totally different that they could not be thought of mere opposites.
Nonetheless, what introduced them collectively was precisely this advantage of Elena’s. She noticed Ryu as a person who seemingly had every little thing, but was shackled greater than anybody else. Whereas others noticed a pampered younger grasp, she noticed a frail inheritor with a shadow over his soul. Whereas for Ryu… Perhaps he was subconsciously interested in this freedom Elena had, perhaps he needed to know simply what it meant.
Ryu was smug. He felt that he was past this vanity, believing that he deserved a loftier label. However, did he? Wasn’t his disposition simply as shallow because the 9 lettered title hooked up to him? How may such a seemingly robust particular person may very well be so weak?
Ryu appeared to take delight in his will to battle. He appeared to search out gentle the place there was none and victory the place there was solely defeat. He repeated these feats numerous instances in his mere thousand years of life. But, this exact same Ryu feared his skill to learn destiny. This exact same Ryu refused to take his girl into his arms and provides her the love she deserved. This exact same Ryu accepted his mortality with out an oz. of resistance.
How can each issues be true in a single particular person? How are you going to declare to be above all issues but have such a profound weak point inside you? How are you going to declare to be mighty once you’re actually so frail?
This was Ryu’s life. He was a person with out freedom. A person shackled by his personal insecurities. A person unwilling to battle.
Ryu blinked at Elena’s query, his imaginative and prescient barely blurring. He felt a swarm of enlightenment bombard him. It was as if his life was laid out and its each scene may very well be simply picked aside by him.
The very first thing Ryu realized was that his reminiscence was by no means this good. As a mortal, he had by no means had excellent recall. Such a factor was reserved for these with the best ranges of cultivation and was additionally restricted by the complexity of the fabric being remembered. For instance, an skilled of his father’s caliber may keep in mind a standard grade approach with a single look, however an origin grade approach was one thing even Titus wasn’t able to memorizing.
‘This… Is that this the Origin Flame’s doing…?’
“Ryu? Hubby?” Elena lay a fragile hand on Ryu’s brow when she seen his respiration quicken. Might or not it’s that the Origin Flame is not as docile as data say? Why else would her fiancé have been unconscious for 3 days but nonetheless react like this?
Ryu cleared his throat. “I am nice.” His voice carried a slight weak point, but it surely had a basis of firmness. “I solely meant that the actions of the Clans throughout that night time had been too odd. The obvious was Gale’s recklessness. That has to stem from someplace. It is higher to be secure than sorry. Too many Kingdoms in historical past have fallen throughout their absolute peaks…”
“Oh…” Elena’s flashed with an odd gentle, however she did not pursue it. “I knew you’d say that concerning the treasures, however I saved just a few for you that really may very well be helpful.”
“Helpful to me?” Ryu laid on the mattress, wanting up on the ceiling with a clean expression. “Are you positive?”
Elena giggled. “In case your pretty fiancée says so, should not you imagine her? One is a Mystical Grade Treasure, one other is an Origin Grade Treasure, and the final is a Distinctive Grade treasure!”
Ryu’s eyes had been slowly closing earlier than these final phrases left Elena’s lips. However, the moment he registered them, they snapped opened with an added vigor. “What’d you simply say?”
“I assumed you were not ? Hm?” Elena appeared away, pretending to not discover Ryu’s gaze. Within the void, Nuri’s stunning laughter sounded earlier than she coated her delicate pink lips and blushed. It was really an odd sight contemplating nobody may hear her anyway.
The grading of treasures was similar to the grading of bloodlines. The one distinction right here is that the Sovereign Grade is changed by the Mystical Grade. Other than this, it follows the identical sample. Widespread, Black, Earth, Heaven, Mystical, Ancestral and Origin.
Nevertheless, what’s apparent right here is that the Distinctive Grade is not talked about in any respect. It is because a Distinctive Grade treasure is inconceivable to correctly categorize. It wasn’t essentially extra highly effective than an Origin Grade treasure both. Actually, in some uncommon circumstances, it wasn’t even definitely worth the Widespread Grade label. Nonetheless, what one may by no means doubt was that the truth that these had been all treasures that existed exterior the bounds of heavenly legal guidelines.
