Chapter 114. A Matter of Mood (5)
Yublam wasn’t far. Upon seeing the gleaming silver ingots, the thought of Rena’s joy made my steps feel lighter.
Rena’s scenario came to mind. I had become even stronger than in my previous life, so my power would definitely be helpful to her. If I supported her as much as possible before she gained momentum and stepped back before T&T’s inner circle took an interest in me, I could help her live the life she wanted from a stable position.
There was still plenty of time before sunrise, and the moonlight stretched across my feet. As I strolled leisurely, I suddenly had the urge to refine my swordsmanship once more.
Swoosh!
Though I heard a single sound, my blade had cut twice. The severed leaves scattered into four pieces, carried away by the wind. I could only perform this double slash after reaching Swordsmanship Lv. 10.
I was growing stronger at a rate faster than I had ever imagined. Above all, Gith-Za-Rai’s help played a crucial role for me to reach this point.
Gith-Za-Rai...
The moment her name surfaced, a complicated mix of emotions followed because I was on my way to Yublam.
I ignored her impending death simply because I didn’t want to get involved. At this moment, she was probably still waiting for the emperor’s procession in the catacombs.
Even if I can't help her, is it fine to pass by without a warning?
Clatter.
Inside the armor that Rubia had left me, my bones shivered. The autumn night breeze suddenly felt colder.
