Gacha Sovereign
chapter-949

A few minutes later, Aria looked to her left, finding Alex had caught up. "We don't have any problem, right?"

"Yes. I should have burned everything, including a small blood droplet, so I am sure they won't have anything to track us." Alex nodded.

"Where should we create a new battle scene there? And don't you think it's better to use their body and place it in this new place to make it more believable?"

"No, I don't recommend that. If you investigate their bodies, it's easy to tell how we kill them. The moment we say we used the traps to kill them, they will realize we are lying. I know that we can try to smear everything about them, but it's hard to manipulate it to a perfect degree. Rather, I will just smear monster blood around the area and coat it with water. In terms of energy, they are not that different from humans, so as long as we use red blood, we can camouflage them as human blood."

Aria thought for a moment and noticed how clueless she was in this situation. She took a mental note about this and nodded. "I understand. I will be following your decision since you are more experienced than me…Now I am wondering what the heck have I done this whole time? You are far younger than me, but your strength and experience far surpass me."

"Haha, we just have a different life. That's all." Alex shrugged.

Aria fell silent for a few seconds before sighing in defeat and changing the topic. "Anyway, where will we create a new battlefield aftermath?"

"A bit farther from this location because we will make it a bit bigger because it won't be logical to kill a 9-Star Martial Saint with seventy people with her by small traps. Since Millman and the others can't see this, it should be far away." Alex nodded. "We will travel around fifteen minutes. It should be enough."

"Alright." She nodded.

Alex and Aria flew according to Alex's plan and arrived in a deep forest with huge trees surrounding them. This would be the perfect place to place traps, so he immediately commanded. "You go around and cut these trees while leaving your marks everywhere. I will do some explosions here and there."

She nodded and moved to the spot, beginning to work on the perfect battle.

Alex did the same and created many explosions that blew trees away. He did it to the very details, including how his fire burned the trees. It looked far worse than the aftermath in front of the cave, but at the same time, it appeared to be natural as if there was a big battle here.

Smearing the monster blood on the ground, stones, and trees, Alex finally finished decorating this place and regrouped with Aria.

"I have done according to your instruction. What do you think?"

"It's good enough. We will be waiting for a day or two to make the others think we have used our time to escape, trap, kill, and recover." Alex nodded.

"How about those people? Do you think they can win?"

"Absolutely. Sitting here alone is enough to make the enemies grow restless as time goes by. After all, they are worried whether Nella has managed to enter or not. With that aftermath and the missing people, including us, they won't be able to confirm it. This will give Millman a good advantage to take the situation unless he doesn't believe us."

"I see. We will wait then." She hesitated for a second before asking, "What do you think about the inheritance of the Luzear Family? Their ancestor indeed followed the Sword God in the past, and he was able to reach Rank 2 God, so I wonder if you are interested in it."

"Nope." Alex shook his head. "It will give me more troubles than necessary. Besides, he is a Spear User, right?"

"Yeah."

Alex lied at this point because it surely piqued his interest. He wanted to know the difference between wielding a sword and a spear, especially from a Rank 2 God. However, he knew that there would be a weird bond between him, the Sword God, and the Luzear Family if he went there, so it would be best to make a line here.

…

Meanwhile, half an hour earlier, when Nella just entered the cave, she found nothing but darkness in the cave. There was no light or whatsoever that could lead the way, but Nella didn't panic. Instead, she used her Spear Domain to scan her surroundings before feeling the pressure coming from the Spear Qi flowing inside the cave.

'Mother said this is a kind of test to see whether I can go to the end of this path and meet the ancestor…' She started walking according to the path she sensed without hesitation while thinking. 'Anyway, there is something bothering me with that Nyx. I feel like there is something more in him to the point my business sense is tingling. Well, there is a high possibility of me joining the sect, so I can know about him more and whether to forge the relationship between my family and him.'

While thinking about this, a light ball appeared in front of her as if it wanted to follow her. She hesitated to follow this because it might also be a test from her ancestor, but the light ball suddenly formed into a human figure, smiling at her.

"Welcome to my humble abode, little girl. May I know who you are?"

She was dumbfounded seeing this but immediately bowed and introduced herself. "I am Nella Luzear, 87th generation and the current patriarch's second daughter."

"I see. So, the last one coming here was your…"

"Yes, it's my brother, Kevin Luzear." She nodded.

"That's good to know then. Follow me then." He waved his hands as blue light suddenly brightened the whole cave.

'The walls are emanating blue light?' She furrowed her eyebrows, but her feet had begun walking.

They didn't talk for a few minutes before she found light coming from the exit of the cave. When she crossed it, a majestic room came into her vision.

There was a huge palace inside the cave room.

'Huge? The cave alone is around a few kilometers, while the building is a fifth of that. I can see trees here and there, so it must be a garden, but more importantly, I can feel the boundless Spear Qi in this place.' She gasped and looked around.

"I see. You are that type huh, not bad. At least, you are not rash." He nodded and stroked his long bird. Since he had arrived in this place, he finally turned into a middle-aged man that was in his prime. His muscular body was still visible, and there was this fighting aura emanating from his body.

"Nella Luzear greets the Ancestor."

"Good. Because you were not sure if I am your Ancestor, you didn't greet me earlier. It means you have the necessary heart to remain calm in every situation." He assessed Nella's personality and kept nodding his head as if he was satisfied with it. "Still, fifty years old Martial Monarch, huh. Not bad."

"Thank you for the praise even though I don't deserve it."

"Anyway, there is something bothering me. Before we enter, I hope you don't mind me asking this question first."

"Ye-yes. I will answer Ancestor's question to the best of my ability."

"My question is simple. Who were the man and woman coming with you? Although I couldn't see them due to the barrier that keeps me living here, I could still feel their presence and energy."

"Ah?!" Nella never expected this question to come out of his mouth and instantly apologized, thinking they shouldn't come because they disturbed him. "I apologize if they have caused a disturbance in your abode, but they…"

"No, no. You misunderstand me here." He corrected her before she could finish her words. "I just want to know who they are and their relationship with you simply because I am curious about them, not because they have disturbed me."

"I see." Nella felt relieved and explained. "They are Nyx and Aria Cypress from the Unsurpassed Blade Sect. My mother, Alcea Luzear, informed her friend to post a mission so the sect could send a few disciples to escort me. As Ancestor might already know, we were always targeted during this time, including me."

"Yes, I know. It's a kind of selfish wish of mine, but I want the latter generations to think about overcoming these difficulties and coming out at the top. Do you think I am too cruel?"

"No. Ancestor only wants us to grow even stronger. There is nothing wrong with that." Nella shook her head.

"Anyway, it seems you don't have any relationship with them."

"Currently, yes. They are only bodyguards after all."

"Currently?" He caught the hidden meaning and asked, "So you do have a plan to—"

Nella nodded. "There is something different about these two from the usual disciples, so I am a bit curious about them because I feel they are far extraordinary for an inner disciple. My Mother has shown this concern as well and asked me to observe them."

"I see. In that case, let this old man say something to you. Do whatever you can to forge a relationship with them. No, whatever the case, grab that boy for the family. Or if you can't do that, make sure not to become his enemy." He looked at Nella with a serious expression.

Nella was amazed by her ancestor. Alex was indeed different and even brighter than Aria, but it wasn't this much, so this kind of request baffled her.

"What? You don't understand?" The ancestor scratched the back of his head and explained. "You must know my relationship with the Peerless Sword God, right?"

"Yes."

"Then do you know what are the things the Sword God has left behind?"

"His Sword, Sword Cave, Sword Stone, Sword Pavilion and Sword Arena."

"That's right. Those are the five wonders of this world. I felt the presence of his skill in the woman's body, so my prediction is that she has managed to grasp his sword technique. And only his Divine Sword Techniques that I can strongly remember, so that woman is someone extraordinary."

"What?!" Nella dropped her jaw to the ground before sweating.

"That's not all. The boy is more outstanding. I don't know why but I feel the energy of a Sword Spirit in his sword."

"A Sword Spirit?" This time, she got confused with the new terms.

"There are not many who know this, but there is another kind of entity called the Sword Spirit, or in general, they are known as the Spirit residing in a weapon. In the past, only the Sword God managed to create a Sword Spirit that resided in the Sword he left behind."

"Then, do you mean he has the Sword?" She fell down as her feet couldn't withstand the pressure of this matter. She never expected that these two were this extraordinary. If she knew about it, she would treat them differently.

"No, I doubt he has the sword because I can feel that the Sword Spirit is different than the one I know." He shook his head. "It must be another Sword Spirit. You, later generations, have been feeding me with information from the outside world, so I know there is not a single Sword Spirit other than that kid, but I guess there is another one born in this world. Even the Sword God could only form a Sword Spirit when he was a Rank 5 God, so this kid must be extraordinary. Whether it was his inheritance or his hard work, all of it was irrelevant. You know what I mean?"

Nella's body started shaking as if she just heard the information that would shake the world. There might be another God King rising at this moment, and it was still hidden from the world. If that was the case…

Her expression suddenly turned serious.

"Anyway, I don't think I need to tell you what you need to do, right? There is a possibility of killing him before he grows up, but a mysterious guy is usually more dangerous than what he shows, so yeah." He let out a long sigh. "We better move on to your training first before we discuss this. Come on in."
