Reaper of the Martial World

Book 8: Chapter 139: Emerge (3)

Dyon was having a hard time holding back his smirk. Maybe if it hadn’t been for Amphorae who was still in his arms he would have been laughing too hard for his lips to contain.

Lillianna grit her teeth. “Holy Princess greets … s-s-s.”

“What was that?” Dyon leaned his ear over.

“S-s-…”

“Hm?” Dyon’s eyes blinked innocently.

“SUCCESSOR.” Lillianna finally forced out.

Though neither said it, this really was a stroke of fate. Under normal circumstances, Lillianna would have directly ignored Dyon when he came to her statue. But, then he started groping her. As a Holy Princess, she couldn’t stand that, so she came out to reprimand him. As a result, she sensed his overwhelming soul, a soul that should have been too powerful for anyone on the mortal plane to contain.

This led to Lillianna trying to kill Dyon for what she thought were his evil deeds and finally getting trapped. Had all of these things not happened, Lillianna would have waited forever without finding the person she had waited for all of this time.

Finally Lillianna settled her emotions and sighed. “How…”

“How what?” Dyon’s voice no longer carried a teasing tone, he decided to let her off the hook for now.

“How can you have those wings but no angel blood? I wouldn’t have made such a mistake had you had even the smallest drop of angel blood!”

Dyon shrugged. “My parents are mortal, how could I have angel blood? These wings are a result of my manifestation causing changes to my body.”

“Manifestation?”

“Yes. My manifestation has angel wings. Not long after I awoke my manifestation, a painful tattoo etched into my back and this was the result. Thanks to that, even when my soul was sealed away, I was still able to use my wings.”

“… I see… It’s not unfeasible if that’s the case then…”

Dyon tilted his head in confusion, but it was Amphorae who answered.

“There are some cases where manifestations can grow powerful enough to elevate the race of their wielder, Lord Husband.” Amphorae said lightly. “For example, if someone with a weapon spirit cultivates their manifestation to a high enough realm, it isn’t impossible to display some of the prowess of a half sword sprite like the Diasho Clan disciples.”

Dyon’s brows arched in surprise. “So such a thing is possible too… It is still a bit odd though. My angel wings etched into my body quickly, almost too quickly. I had hardly had my manifestation for a few weeks at that point. But, none of the other parts of my manifestation reacted in that way.”

“It’s probably because your manifestation takes yourself as its form. It’s very different from your halos.”

Dyon thought for a bit then accepted it. He hadn’t ever heard of anyone having themselves for their manifestation, but he did.

When Delia evoked her Ice Queen manifestation, it wasn’t actually a reflection of herself, but the originator of her constitution. However, Dyon’s manifestation wasn’t just humanoid, it looked exactly like himself. It shared his personality too… It felt like him, albeit more mature and brooding.

Dyon once more had no choice but to ignore much of this. He was still in the process of comprehending his manifestations, he definitely didn’t need anything more to complicate that process.

“So, what will you teach me today?” Dyon said with a wide grin.

“W-wait, y-you?” It seemed Lillianna had finally gotten over herself enough to notice Amphorae. “You have angel blood! How is that possible?!”

Amphorae only shrugged. It seemed for people who weren’t Dyon, she couldn’t be bothered to speak, let alone explain much of anything.

Lillianna sighed. “This whole family wants to drive me insane. Other than those overgrown Nephilim Clan monstrosities, there shouldn’t be any angel clan blood remaining. Her being here makes no sense at all. And her blood is quite pure at that … Very pure…”

Hearing the Nephilim Clan mentioned, Dyon remembered the Emperor Giant Clan. According to what he understood, they fell under that umbrella. It seemed that if he wanted to use his “blessings” appropriately, he had to find individuals with angel blood. That left only Amphorae and their potential children, but the Emperor Giant Clan was another possible avenue… If he could subdue them properly, they’d become a very powerful pawn for him. It was too bad he didn’t like Anak very much…

Finally, after ranting for an obscene amount of time, Lillianna finally snorted.

“You want to gain the Goddess’ Legacy, but are you even worthy? Do you even know what holding up her mantle entails? You might be a great soul talent, but controlling the Wings of Blessings isn’t related to the soul at all.

“Blessings are an ancient form of magic. The only magic that can stand its equal in terms of ancestry and power is Dragon Tongue.”

Dyon suddenly thought back to the Dragon Saliva he gained from the golden flame mystical world. If he recalled correctly, the twins said Dragon Saliva was the result of accumulated dense magic from repeated use of Dragon Tongue. It seemed that maybe it was more valuable than he gave it credit for.

“You don’t understand even the most basic magic, yet you want to comprehend Blessings? What a joke..”
