The Meeting 2

The Elders sat on their thrones with different emotions and a mixture of both terror and amusement on their faces. While others' attention was on the Patriarch, only a single Elder was able to spot Ivy's entrance to the Grand Hall despite the titanic pressure unleashed by the Patriarch. This person was baffled by what he witnessed because due to the pressure generated by the Patriarch's aura overwhelming the Elders in the Grand Hall, It should have been more than enough to crush anyone of Ivy's age both in body and spirit in an instant. Unknowingly, Ivy had garnered vital changes to his physique following the awakening of his Legacy, and due to that, he had forcefully controlled a special force to strengthen his body. However, only a minute amount of it could be utilized as he has yet to fully excavate his infinite potential. Elder Harman stared eyes wide at this little monster called Ivy as so many thoughts ran through his mind. ' ..This should be impossible for this boy, even if it was for a second. No wonder he's the Patriarch's most favored. It seems he had tempered his body through unknown means. If I can get that method then maybe..' a sly smile slowly spread on Elder Harman's face.

" How are you feeling son? I heard you fainted after you took that Grade 2 Elixir. I'm sorry, if I had known I would have stopped it myself." a warm fatherly voice spoke apologetically. " To prove myself you can ask anything you want. Anything at all and you will get it immediately with just a word from me." The source of the voice was Kane, the Patriarch.

"Thank you, Father. I'm actually in need of a few things I would like to have. " Ivy happily responded. Since time immemorial, this father of his has always been kind to him. He has been providing special pills for enhancing potential to Ivy. Even among his elder siblings, he is the favorite of his father. His father has always been one of the only two individuals he felt a sense of familiarity and of course, his butler Blane is the second. All other members of the Clan show indifference as if he doesn't exist.

An assassin appeared from thin air by Ivy's side in an outfit of sleek black pants and a long-sleeved shirt. A horror mask was attached to the face with the eyes bright like the moon making it difficult to decide if it was a male or female. With two crimson daggers hanging on his waist, the aura generated was of death as It must have claimed innumerable lives to achieve such an effect. Fortunately for Ivy, it wasn't here to claim his life. Ivy wasn't surprised by the assassin's arrival as it was a special product of the Creationists of the clan. They had conducted numerous experiments consuming large amounts of precious resources of which the Assassin Clone 0004 is among the results. They are clones specially trained in assassination with methods a human couldn't endure. Those who prevail are extremely dangerous killing machines if let loose.

Ivy handed over his list of materials to the Assassin as this one disappeared immediately. A second later, it reappeared with a spatial bag in tow which contained the materials Ivy asked for. He grabbed the bag as a notification appeared to him.

Due to the availability of the materials needed for the concoction, the Alchemist Bot seeks permission to start concocting products needed for the Host's development. YES/NO

______________________________________________

'Yes'

Ivy accepted the transfer of the materials in the spatial bag as it was easier for him to do nothing. He also accepts the request by the Alchemist Bot who became impatient to concoct the product.

[ The Alchemist Bot will need a few minutes to familiarize itself before the concoction due to it being inactive for a very long time. The Master should prepare a secured space to awaken the Second Legacy as the process is beyond explanation.] 'Alright,' Ivy said.

"Father, I would like to leave to prepare for the National Examination coming up next month," Ivy said facing his father.

"Oh, how could I forget that? I shouldn't bother you with the Clan's affairs as you have to prepare for the exam. I got inside news that this year would be different from the normal conduct of the previous years as this year is the coming-of-age ceremony of the Ninth Prince of the Imperial Dynasty. There will be an expedition to Corrupt Areas after the assessment. It is to broaden the spectrum of knowledge to the monstrosities that plague our Dynasty and eradicate them. A system of points would be set up by the National Examination Committee to award those who perform brilliantly. The rewards of the top five winners are astonishing and the first prize is the core of a dead planet, a Grade 5 resource. That alone has many uses for bloodlines especially those that specialize in Body Refinement. It's also a crucial resource for peak Grade 5 artifact refinement which could serve as a core providing an almost infinite supply of MANA to the wielder in battle. It is said that the Emperor, a bright genius when young had used it to refine his Ancestral Bloodline, the Cosmic Whale to the next grade, setting a future path of development. The Emperor plans to gift the Grade 5 resource to the winner. Of course, there is a glaring mockery untold to the public as the Emperor seems confident in his son's ability." Kane briefly explained. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he taught of the Emperor's overconfidence.

" Thank you Father for your explanation. I'll carry that in mind" Ivy stood up and left the Grand Hall building. His gaze is unfocused as a notification steals his attention.
