Chapter 75

"This should be enough."

Zephyr muttered with no particular reaction or what so ever despite acquiring a skill that would totally break the power balance in Tensura. With eyes that was devoid with any emotion like he always had, Zephyr tried to divert his attention.

However, before he could do so, the voice of the [Wise One] was heard in his mind again.

{Master, I can also provide another skill of the Death element that would be very beneficial to you as I have analyzed the phenomenon death itself.}

'Oh!'

Zephyr became interested in what it is. Not because of how powerful the skill is, but due to the interesting ability of the Soulstone of Wisdom.

{Sending data information to Master. Proceed?}

"Do as you wish."

[The skill, 'Reincarnation' has been created.]

[You have made an achievement that is not easily complished. Additional karma will be provided.]

[You have acquired 5,000 karma.]

[You have acquired 7,500 additional karma.]

Rather than feeling elated, Zephyr was calm like a steady water like he had always been. With a slight curiosity, Zephyr inspected the skill created by the [Wise One] for him.

'Well it's not a bad result for me anyway.'

Zephyr calmly thought in his mind. He thought this would be a perfect match for the invincibility passive of being a legend making him an undying player.

However, unlike Zephyr, Hyrkan burst in laughter inside Zephyr's consciousness seeing the newly acquired abilities of Zephyr that is related to death.

(Kuafuhahahaha! What an interesting ability. To accidentally acquire both Death element and Soulstone of Wisdom at the same, what an wonderful coincidence!)

Unbeknownst to Zephyr, the otaku dragon inside him grinned widely in satisfaction seeing his BFF became even more stronger that would make many transcendents in the future tremble in fear when just hearing any mention of him.

Returning his gaze back towards Eliazar who waited patiently for him to settle, he then thanked him for the satisfying match as it made him aware how strong his full power is.

Eliazar smiled seeing no sign of boastfulness in Zephyr when he, a demi-god was defeated but just his natural aura of confidence.

Naturally, Zephyr knew he was only able to win against Eliazar because he was acknowledge by the fellow and surrendered. If not, his chances of winning was close to zero as for Eliazar who possessed billions of health, he was not even able to reduce it to 90%.

Even with the power of the [Dragon Force] that allows him to be in an equal standing against a Tier 5, he knew that the law of casualty of Tensura would not allow him to defeat Eliazar however the fellow willingly surrendered after acknowledging his skills.

With Eliazar's decision, the law of casualty wasn't able to prevent his winning. As win is a win, this allows him to obtain another rise in status and strength due to his supposed to be unattainable achievement.

"Well because you win against me, I think my pride could not allow to just reward you with the skill book and the shard as it was not a befitting reward."

Eliazar spoke with a thoughtful expression as he was slightly embarrassed as he only had the Fly skill book and the shard that currently held no value at the moment and nothing else.

"No need. This is more than enough."

With his monotone voice, Zephyr stated that he did not need something from him as it was never been his intention to begin with. For him, they didn't bet anything and just fought out of his curiosity.

'Hmmm. Not an ounce of greed. Truly a wonderful fellow. It's unfortunate that I can't give a blessing to him or I might anger the dragon that is supporting him.'

As a transcendent, he naturally had the ability to bless someone and gave them an ability but he didn't as he did not want to incur the dragon's wrath as he knew, Zephyr wouldn't be able to obtain the dragon's power without being in contact with a dragon.

With how special Zephyr for him, he thought it was not impossible for a dragon to become interested with Zephyr and shared a portion of his power which was not very far off from the actual truth.

Also as a transcendent, he knew how prideful the dragons were as they considered the other races as insignificant which made him refrain from giving his divine blessing.

"However, for my pride of being a demi-god, I can't tolerate by not giving something that has equal value for defeating me."

Despite that, he was still determined to give something appropriate to Zephyr for achieving the achievement of defeating a demi-god precisely for defeating him.

"Well follow me back at my house as I have something in there."

If he cannot give a blessing, he could just give an item instead. That was what Eliazar thought after thinking for an alternative to avoid incurring a dragon's wrath.

Zephyr sighed and no longer argue with Eliazar seeing his determination as he determined it would only be troublesome and tiring when the latter has no intention to concede from the start.

As he followed him, Zephyr's wandering gaze saw something interesting. It was the expression of the shocked Ericson and the Nephilims who had watched their match.

Ericson who was spectating the entire match was left speechless after seeing the full capability of Zephyr. Seeing the immense strength and power of Zephyr, he thought in his mind.

'What had he done to have this kind of power in a short amount of time? For us to have this gap...'

For a fellow player who started playing Tensura at the same time, he was buffled at the gap in strength that he had and the other players against the undisputed number one player.

Aside from clearly seeing that he could contend to a demi-god and win, he knew that Zephyr would only grow far more stronger in the future.

'I swear! I will surely surpass you!'

He promised himself that he would become even more diligent to surpass Zephyr. The onlooking Nephilims were also in the same state like him.

Earlier, when some spotted that their human guest has a spar against their elder, they watched due to their curiosity as they knew their elder was a Tier 5.

For him to have a spar against a Tier 2, it surely aroused their interest. However as time passed by, they became even more speechless seeing the full capabilities of Zephyr when fighting a demi-god.

Initially, they became even more interested at Zephyr when they felt the demonic energy around when a mask appeared as he clearly has no connection to any demon. Then after a while, they were stunned when they saw him absorbing the abundant natural energy inside the pocket dimension of Ascalor.

As the land of the Nephilims, the natural energy in Ascalor was very pure and massive in terms of quantity. As they recognized the Sage Arts, they all acknowledge Zephyr for being capable to use this.

However, they froze seeing the dragon scales as they were aware of the standing of the dragons in Tensura. They even felt true fear when they sensed the [Dragon Fear] that radiated around Zephyr even it was not directed towards them.

Seeing him win, none of them objected even they favored that their elder should win the spar. Many Tier 3, and Tier 4 Nephilims felt that they widened their horizons and was determined to become even more stronger.

****

Both Ericson and Zephyr followed Eliazar as they returned to the home of the demi-god. After a while, Eliazar then handed Zephyr a sword that was green in color but radiated an aura that indicates a legendary item.

"Please accept this as a token of my lose. If you dont, I don't think my pride could handle your rejection."

Seeing his expression, Zephyr sighed as he knew that rejecting this sword would tire him so much due to the request of the stubborn old man. Accepting the sword, he then inspected it out of curiosity.

Zephyr became curious at one of the effects of the sword as even the target has high evasion rate like an agile assassin that is very hard to hit, this sword could be said as a key item to counter targets that have intense evasion.

The level ignore effect also interests him as he knew this was a valuable effect if one could ignore the level suppression allowing one to have a better performance during a battle.

Not just these, but the other effects were also very satisfying as he could see that this is a top tier among the legendary items. He could say that this sword greatly surpassess the Aetherius Sword before it evolved.

Not just that this sword could evolve to a mythic rated upon meeting the required condition, it was also stated that this sword was made by a Tier 6 God.

Having witnessed the awesomeness of the sword, Zephyr muttered in his monotone voice.

"Not bad."

Seeing there were no particular reaction in Zephyr's expression, Eliazar was dumbfounded as he expected Zephyr's expressionless face to change when seeing a new legendary sword as it was never been easy to acquire one.

If he knew Zephyr only occasionally came across with the legendary swords and did not intentionally wanted one, he would totally cry.

Technically, Zephyr did not easily obtain his high rated swords as he was only to obtain the items when satisfying a certain condition that he met unknowingly like defeating the legendary demonic swordsman when he just became a Sword Saint and acquired his first legendary sword.

The same could be said when he acquired the Aetherius Set as he would never be able to obtain it if not meeting the legendary blacksmith Agur.

And now, if not for defeating Eliazar, it could be said that this Avarice Butterfly wouldn't fall into his hands.

"Old man, are you sure about this?"

Zephyr asked Eliazar one more time. Even he did not truly wanted this, he could tell that sword has a great value here in Ascalor. Hearing him, the demi-god smile as he spoke.

"Well actually, I've been thinking of giving this sword to a promising Nephilim as I myself uses a scythe."

"As I had obtained this before, I wanted someone to be capable to use this to its full extent."

He then fixed his stare at Zephyr as he continued.

"But now that you're here, there should be no one else more capable to do this other than you Sword Saint right?"

Zephyr simple nodded as he understand what Eliazar meant. He then thanked him for his generosity. The three of them, then continue to chat including Ericson as they rested after the tiring match.

It didn't took long for a familiar system prompt to appear.

[Tensura Server Announcement: The game has been online for 9 hours in real time. The server will shut down in 30 seconds. Please log out immediately.]

[Tensura Server Announcement: All players progress will be saved so there's nothing to worry. Please log out immediately.]

Ericson and Zephyr then bade farewell to each other as both of them logged out afterwards. Waking up from the game capsule, Zephyr got up.

He then sighed as he had to go again at the boring school not knowing something would happen today.
