Chapter 773 Majesty of Seventh Grade
Since Angus chose red-veined wood as Jayna's sword base, he couldn't let it still have the water weakness. Normally, one will select the strongest and densest material as the base for a weapon base.
However, the ordinary material base couldn't hold on against Jayna's destructive power, especially when she imbued it with her emotion fire power.
Despite its destructive properties, Jayna is still the master of her own fire. Controlling which one should be burned is a natural instinct for her. However, her fire still managed to break her high-quality swords.
Through Angus' observation, Jayna's sword has not only melted like ordinary metal work but degraded from the inside. With the continued and intense use, the decline goes faster.
Furthermore, this adverse damage will go at a microscopic scale. Unless Jayna has perfect control over her fire, like Angus with his body, she may be unable to prevent this damage.
Therefore, Angus needs a material completely impervious to Jayna's fire, even at the microscopic scale. By coincidence, the red-veined wood he got from the Heart Ancient Vault has this characteristic.
Angus' previous solution was to eliminate the wood weakness by mixing the wood with other materials through the alloy method. Unfortunately, Angus finds the wood will crumble if its part gets slightly damaged.
This led Angus to choose the elf to liquid forging technique. The liquid material is just changing form and not truly destroyed.
As long as he returned to its original solid state, Angus could prevent red-veined wood from crumbling and mixed it with other material. Basically, it is a perfect technique to process the red-veined wood.
Meanwhile, far from Angus's current location, Ivis meditates her body thoroughly inside Menaki Capital City. After a few hours of checking her body thoroughly, tears flow from Ivis' eyes as she makes a sad smile.
"Thank you. Thank you. Master." muttered Ivis softly.
After a full body check, Ivis finds all her body discomfort and even the hidden injury she got before reaching seventh grade is gone. Her foundation, chi pool, and body control are improved to top-notch.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt is as if she goes back to her previous life when she was still Angus' student and hailed like a fairy. Moreover, she also noticed her chi pool increasing at a fast rate each day. Based on her calculation, it will continue to grow until one or two years.
This sudden increase is the side effect of her body synchronization. As the ex-student of Angus, Ivis also practices a top-notch chi cultivation and refining technique. With the endless vitality from seventh grade, she should be able to cultivate a massive chi similar to Angus.
All her previous hidden injuries and the side effects of many Forbidden Techniques prevent her from cultivating chi to the maximum. After getting treated by Angus, her body completely changes and strengthens over time.
Previously, Menaki Kingdom was a very chaotic place. Rather than a kingdom, it is only a small lawless trading hub. Growing up in this lawless place, Ivis was forced to overdraft her body, mind, and soul many times to survive before reaching seventh grade.
She was even forced to change her body a few times using forbidden art [Soul Replace]. It is until she breaks the shackle and reaches seventh grade that Menaki Kingdom becomes stable. However, her hidden injury and forbidden technique side effects stay in her body.
Since it is more like a body condition and disease than a real injury, she couldn't treat it with any conventional magical healing. Ivis also doubts other people are as proficient at body, mind, and soul as her master or other expert in his previous life.
Angus and her technique are not just a few dozen years' inventions but a heritage as old as the human itself. Some scholars even assume that it is a long-lost technique from advanced civilizations in the past.
After confirming her current body, Ivis could feel the lingering warmth she longed for a long time. She could feel the familiar warmth that her beloved teacher showed to her when she made a mess.
Yet, like drinking seawater, it only makes her more thirsty and leaves her unsatisfied. Deep inside, Ivis longed more for Angus and wanted to stay by his side forever.
However, there is no malicious intent towards Angus. It is not only that she didn't want to hurt her beloved teacher again, but she knew it was a futile effort.
Although Ivis knows Angus still has not reached his full body potential of seventh grade, she knows how fearsome his teacher is. She witnessed how Angus fought with countless chi experts without a single ounce of chi for three days straight.
Be it will, skill, or absurd body control, Angus already reached a top-notch even without reaching the seventh-grade level. Still, this inability to get her beloved master leaves her only sadness and emptiness in her heart.
As she contemplates her own solitudes, she hears a soft knocking sound from the door. *Knock* *Knock*
"Come in." replied Mistress Ivis coldly.
"Excuse me, Mistress. There is an envoy from the War Temple asking for an audience." said the female maid.
"War Temple, again? Tell them to… Wait!!" said Ivis before stopping talking.
During this moment, she remembers how Angus rebuked her for not showing the majesty of seventh grade. In the past, Ivis needed to gain a lot of favor from these religious groups since they were not only a big client but also had the chance to fix all the hidden dangers in her body.
In fact, Ivis tries to charm and control some of their healing experts like the other two seventh-grade subordinates when they let their guard down. Now, she doesn't need to bootlick and give these people a face as her body is completely healed.
"Tell them I am busy and send Bory to kick them out. My Menaki will no longer have any dealing with War Temple." said Mistress Ivis coldly.
"Err.. Mistress?" asked the maid in confusion.
According to her understanding, Mistress Ivis always tried to gain the religious group's favor for a long time. Even when Ivis got a considerable loss in the deal, she never said anything or complained about it.
"Are you questioning me?" asked Ivis coldly as the whole room shook.
"N-No! I don't dare. Please punish this humble one." said the maid in fear while kneeling.
"Get out now!!" ordered Ivis sternly.
"Y-Yes, Mistress." said the maid with fear and trembling.
Menaki Kingdom may become one of the biggest black market and underground businesses in Firuman. However, it doesn't mean there is no law and order at all. Inside Ivis Royal Palace, her words and majesty are absolute.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis is not only because of her seventh-grade power but the people who could stay here are personally chosen by Ivis. Either they have undying loyalty or are controlled like puppets by Ivis.
Unbeknownst to Angus, he made the religious groups lose one of their biggest suppliers by casually healing Ivis.
With the Menaki's vast connection and big underground market, the religious-like War Temple, Karum, Zion, and many others often contact Ivis when they need something that couldn't be bought openly.
Unlike the kingdom that could easily buy dangerous weapons or unethical things like slaves openly, the religious group needs to keep their image clean and behave as if they are the savior of the world.
A moment later, Ivis could feel some strong mana turbulence inside the Royal Palace. Through her perception, she knows the War Temple envoy didn't want to leave empty-handed.
War Temple is a unique religious group that didn't resemble the other hypocritical religious groups. They worship Ulveus, God of War and Strength.
With such a brute and rough deity, War Temple preaches quite radical teaching that weakness is sin and the only way to be saved is by becoming stronger. Despite its radicalness, there are still many believers and followers among them.
Since they consist of a strength-based group, every single one of their members has a strong combat prowess. Some even said if it were not for their radical teaching, they may already have occupied the number one religious group long ago.
*BOOOM* *BOOOM* *BBRRMM* The loud and trembling could be felt all over the royal palace for a while before it suddenly turned back to calm.
Witnessing all the short fights and interactions inside her room, Ivis thought for a moment before spreading her mana to cover the capital city.
"Obey your Mistress. Catch or kill all religious groups!! No God believer shall ever step into my kingdom again!!" ordered Ivis through her mana.
"Obey, Mistress Ivis!!" yelled the majority of the people inside the capital city.
Soon, chaos and fights occur everywhere inside the capital city. All the religious people are trying to fight their way out but only meet with countless waves of loyal citizens.
Furthermore, the strong appearance of two seventh-grade puppets in the air makes almost all devotees lose hope. Some strong ones could still fight back. Yet, they still couldn't last a few minutes against the two seventh-grade puppets.
From start to finish, none of them know why Ivis suddenly gave such an order and cut their ties with them.
