Reaper of the Martial World

Book 7: Chapter 213: Black Armored Guardian (1)

Within the second phase sky castle, Dyon was completely oblivious to what had occurred. He simply continued to help the beast babies retrieve the treasures they wanted. Days later, they were happily hugging their treasures with bright smiles on their faces. This was especially so for Sen who wore valiant peak transcendent grade golden battle armor in his toddler form. It was oddly domineering and adorable at the same time.

As expected, retrieving the booklet he wanted to gift Madeleine was by far the most difficult. It took 70% of his stamina to take the golden yacht, yet he surprisingly failed three times before he succeeded in taking the music will booklet. Each time, his mental energy was drained completely, leaving him incapacitated for hours. Even Sabona felt bad and tried to get him to give up.

In the end, Dyon had no choice but to reveal his half-step dao spear qi. He didn’t completely trust Yandevere and Sabona, but he felt that he’d be able to put up countermeasures in case they ever decided to betray him. That said, Biibi’s vote of confidence in them let him feel a bit more reassured.

Without suppressing his will level, Dyon was able to shoot his spear qi further and force it to last longer. In the end, he retrieved the booklet after using little more than 50% of his stamina.

‘Creation Law…’ Dyon mumbled to himself as he gave the booklet a cursory glance.

Creation wasn’t a type of will, but it was rather a path of sorts, just like the sovereign path of Dyon’s weapon wills or the immortal path of Lilith’s sword will. This creation path was always chosen by those most powerful in music will because it allowed the most flexibility. The so-called ‘Composers’ of music will made use of the creation path to depict mighty images with their music, they could then use these images to attack.

Madeleine, as of now, could already compose Earth Grade music, giving her compositions the strength of a normal Earth Grade technique. This showed the depth of her comprehension. However, each further step was like ascending the heavens.

Although Dyon wasn’t certain, he was sure that Amphorae likely followed this path as well. In fact, she was almost definitely far more powerful than Madeleine in it. This book would likely greatly benefit them both.

What Dyon still hadn’t fully comprehended was that this creation path was very useful to him as well. After all, his innate flames both followed this path. While on the outside, it seemed that they had multiple characteristics, each of those abilities stemmed from a single characteristic! It was just that this characteristic was so domineering that it manifested itself in a myriad of different ways. This was why Dyon’s flame evolved as his soul did. In fact, since the last time he unleashed his flames fully, his soul strength had doubled, it was likely that there were already more abilities he had yet to discover.

Dyon put this technique away, placing it beside where Madeleine was currently sound asleep. These days, she only awoke for brief half hour stints before falling asleep for days, but maybe she could use those few dispersed times to comprehend something.

At this moment, Sabona was looking toward the four beast babies with a jealous expression. She had already tried retrieving the winged book multiple times already, but she continued to fail.

“Can you help me?…” She said softly, clearly not used to asking others for such a thing.

Dyon only smiled, sending out a stream of spear qi with a single thought. A moment later, the book had landed in his hands.

Closing his eyes, his overwhelming soul strength began to comprehend the will of the book. It was nothing impressive, actually, just a Peak Heaven Grade technique, however, Dyon felt his heartbeat with excitement.

With a thought, Dyon stealthily communicated with the Soul Tome, transferring his comprehension of the technique’s will into it. In an instant, the Soul Tome filled a blank path page with a brilliant array, just finishing it as Dyon tossed the booklet to Sabona.

Sabona blinked. “I thought you said a few hours? You can look through it some more if you want.”

Dyon smiled. “There’s no need, I’ve memorized it already. I’ll slowly comprehend it later.”

“This…” Sabona smiled sweetly. ‘He seems like a big bad guy, but he’s actually so nice.’

Clearly, Sabona thought that Dyon only pretended to need this technique so that she’d feel less bad about asking for help. After all, Dyon obviously didn’t have wings, she felt stupid for not thinking of that before.

Sabona was simple minded and straight forward much like her Dwarf Ancestors. So, she had decided to accept Dyon as a friend, a matter she took very seriously.

Dyon partly realized that he had been misunderstood, but he only shook his head.

Although he had never used the ability before, it was always prevalent in his mind that the Soul Tome allowed him to instantly master techniques to their Great Perfection stages based on his soul strength. Now that he had a peak celestial soul, he could master peak heaven grade techniques instantly, if he so chose.

The only reason Dyon had not used this ability was because if he relied on the Soul Tome to reach Great Perfection, then taking the last step to the One with Self realm would become twice as difficult. After all, the Heavens never gave anything for free.

For weak techniques like common grade ones, this trade off wasn’t worth it. However, it was worth it for techniques that took longer to master. After Dyon completely mastered all of the peak common grade techniques he had to, he would begin taking advantage of the Soul Tome for when he had to repeat this feat with Earth and Heaven grade techniques. By then, he’d bask in the true might of a treasure of the 33 heavens.
