Chapter 97: Episode 97: Hegemony Sword Energy Evolving Technique!

Marvin pondered deeply about what he will use his sword for. Time flowed like a stream as he contemplated and came to a decision based on his life, and his eyes jolted open as he looked at Life Taker in the eyes.

"I will use my sword to protect myself and those who believe in me. My sword won't show mercy to the filth of society, and if needs be, I will annihilate all three generations of the filthy. I will annihilate all threats be it be my enemies or flesh-eating demons to safeguard myself and my loved ones from possible harm! However, I won't slaughter nor butcher unless necessary. Especially when it comes to innocents. No innocent will suffer under my sword! Furthermore, I will go out of my way to provide Justice to others whether it be a bystander or myself, and my reason to use the sword will not be affected by the person's gender, race, and looks. Ugly and poor or rich and handsome, before my sword they will all be judged equally!"

As he said these words, Marvin's chest hoisted up in pride and confidence. His silver eyes shone brighter than before, and he seemingly looks no different than a king. Because he knows how bad it feels to become a victim of the people in power, he knows how bad it feels to be bullied, and how painful prolonged teleportation resulted due to corruption can be, he decided to never wrong innocent bystanders and help them.

That way, he will be different than the world. Mostly, no one helped him when he desperately needed to be helped. And the bullies regularly targeted him. However, he will be no different than the common folks if he did the same. Thus, he will be the one to bring change.

Hearing his words, Life Taker's mood turned melancholic and his feelings were shown through his "black icy eyes". His face was covered by a black wooden mask, after all, and Marvin couldn't see what he looks like.

He looked at the white clouded skies and said, "When I was but a little boy, the place I lived and grew up in was the coldest town in the kingdom. During harsh winter, many families in that little town would have surely starved to death but the rich merchants of the Elihu town provided rations to all the houses. I was just one of the many they helped. But who would have known that the little poor boy of yesteryear will become the Endlessness Punisher."

Marvin couldn't believe that this powerful expert that have shattered stars using myriad-shaped immortal vanquishing slash was but just a poor boy.

Marvin instantly felt a connection with him, and he said, "Guess your background is also humble like mine."

"Humble... Hahahahaha. I was the long-forgotten descendant of the divine battle king. They refused to honor my existence. Though after obtaining success I refused to honor my ancestors!" Life Taker said with a laugh. He then turned to look at Marvin, and he continues to say, "Your background isn't so humble either. The blood of Kronos courses through your veins. Anyways, Cleansing the land of evil and providing justice to the weak and innocent. Your decision to use the sword is excellent. However, not all evil deserve to be killed off. Similarly, not everyone deserves to be helped. Some might seem pure to the eyes but they hide the greatest evil inside. Though this is just a bit of honest advice from someone who has lived thousands of years more than you, and your decision is yours to make."

"Your words have been engraved in my mind. I will remember them by heart." Marvin replied by respectfully clasping his hand to the senior swordmaster. He has read some quality fantasy novels and knew some basic gestures of respect used by a junior sword wielder to show his respect for a senior cultivator. "Is there any other questions?"

"None. You have passed the tests to prove your worthiness." As Life Taker said that the blurriness surrounding the sword stone wall vanished. "Go on, young friend. You are now worthy of comprehending the hegemonic sword energy evolving technique. As the time is short, you may also use the help of your little friend to comprehend this technique."

Only three hours were left before the examination end. It wasn't too shocking that Life Taker knows about it. He was an indefinitely powerful expert and his means were boundless. Knowing something as simple as the ongoing test was pretty simple for Life Taker. What is really shocking is the fact that he knew about the existence of Noah!

Marvin didn't feel shocked. Because Noah was created by Night. Plus, Life Take was one of the experts whose inheritance could be found in the system, and that's why Marvin had concluded long ago that Life Taker was aware of Noah's existence.

"Well, then I will try to comprehend it first. If needed, I will use experience and ability point to learn this technique." Marvin said. Courtesy to Noah, he could learn the Peak level energy evolving technique by using four ability points and he could also learn the way to execute it perfectly by using 10000 experience points.

He sat down on the ground before clearing his mind from all thoughts and focusing all attention on the sword stone wall.

"Hegemon Sword energy evolving Manual. Peak Rank. Can be utilized any time of the day. Contains three stages. First stage: Purify Magic Power into pure mana at an incredibly fast speed, and Battle Force into higher grade energy called Sword Force at an average speed. The second stage: Uses Sword Force to refine the body into a weapon. The second stage is further divided into various ranks. Bronze, Silver, Gold body tempering technique. Bronze Sword's body tempering technique creation mainly focuses on using the sword force to temper the body. For example, the sword force can temper the body causing it to have the toughness of bronze, greatly increasing a sword wielder's defensive capabilities multiple times more than that of an average person's.

Once the body is tempered to the Silver rank, the body will possess the toughness of silver. Plus, it will be possible for the sword wielder to project his Sword Force onto his body and make it possess the sharpness of a sword. As for the Gold-ranked sword body, it is the sharpest and most sturdy among the three.

The third stage of the technique is called sword manipulation. Just like its name, once grasped, the sword wielder can project their Sword Force onto anything from grass to trees and use them as swords to obliterate his enemies."

Only these words were written on the stone wall. Except for these words and the image of Life Taker, the sword stone wall was as blank as a white sheet.

What?

What can I comprehend by myself, if there is nothing to comprehend?

Marvin felt confused. Because he could see nothing else and believed that he will have to use the remaining four ability points.

Life Taker's soul projection which was floating beside the sword stone wall slightly smiled. "A sword wielder's thoughts reflects the state of his mind, and actions reflect the state of his heart. This is a mystical sword stone wall which contains my inheritance. The stone wall is created out of time stones. It reflects what you will possess in the future, and allow you to experience them. Although it can only be used one time, you will greatly benefit from it. It will reflect your sword mind. Keep on looking at the stone wall sword with the reason you will wield the sword. It will reflect yourself,"

Marvin felt gratitude for Life Taker's guidance. He didn't utilize the ability points and continued to stare at the empty sword stone wall. Soon after, his decision to use the sword began to be carved into that wall. When his decision to use the sword were entirely reflected on the sword stone wall, Marvin felt a mysterious resonance with it. His thoughts turned to words began to morph into innumerable swords.

Then two different swords materialized out of the sword stone wall. One sword was red and the other one shine in a golden luster.

"The blood red sword signifies that you will possess the slaughter domain in the future. Slaughter domain is obtained through killing. It increases the sharpness of attack and decreases the defenses of others. Whereas, the Golden sword signifies sword domain. Sword domain means the birth of a sword saint. You can test the power of a single domain before the sword stone wall turns to dust and you obtain my inheritance. Make your choice." Life Taker calmly said.

He could feel the intent of each domain by merely staring at the two sword, but tbe golden sword gave off a far powerful intent than the red sword.

"Naturally, I will choose to test the power of a sword saint." Marvin replied.

In the very next moment, the golden sword rushed towards him at an incredible speed. Marvin didn't dodge as he believed that the sword won't harm him, and evading the golden sword will result in failing to pass the test which will allow him to experience the powers of a sword saint.

The golden sword stabbed his stomach. However, Marvin felt no pain. Rather, boundless might began to fill his body, and he could feel himself becoming stronger at an incredible rate as the golden sword was absorbed by his body.

Marvin's eyes shone in a golden glow and a massive sword intent surged out, creating a small sword domain.

"What do you feel?" Life Taker asked.

"Boundless might and absolute power. I feel that I can use everything presence in my domain as a weapon. Be it the trees in our surroundings or the grasses." Marvin said, he was amazed at this self discovery.

"That's right, this is the power of the sword domain. Everything inside the boundary of the sword domain is your weapon. However, animals and humans possess a will of their own, hence they can't be subjugated to another's will. Thus, only trees, plant and similar things will be your weapon. Now, project your will on to them, and see what happens." Lie Taker nodded. Because he was more powerful than a sword saint and could also use sword domain, he could clearly explain the abilities of a sword domain to Marvin.

Following his words, Marvin projected his thoughts on the flowers in their surroundings.

Rustle! Rustle!

Suddenly, the flowers were uprooted from the ground and floated around Marvin who stood in the center. With a single thought, the flowers rushed to the nearby trees, splitting them in equal halves.

From this, one can infer that these normal flowers were as sharp as invincible divine sword, and could obliterate his enemy. Such was the destructive power of a sword saint, and Marvin was extremely lucky to experience it.

Then, Marvin used everything present inside the boundary of his sword domain as a weapon. A tree was uprooted from the ground and flowed in the direction of his choice. The tree was wide and extremely sharp. Under Marvin's will the tree caused a lot of devastation. However, he wasn't able to enjoy the use of sword domain for too long.

A few minutes of using sword domain and the boundless power entirely left his body. The sword stone wall turned to dust since its one time effect was used. The particles of dust floated towards Marvin, and he could feel them entering his body through the pores.

"These dust particles contains the hegemony sword energy evolving technique. Don't resist and allow them to enter your body through the pores. The information will naturally be engraved in your mind, in due time."

"Alright," Marvin happily replied and dropped all resistance. He absorbed the sand of knowledge and the information inside them automatically appeared in his mind.
