"For the first time, I have come really close to defeating you, mentor," Leonard said breathlessly as we finally stopped fighting.

  We had fought for nearly an hour, and I have to say, he is really good. If it had anyone else with such strength, I would have defeated them half of the time.

  "No, you have not, Leonard; you have been defeated in the first minute we have begun fighting," I said with a smile.

  He frowned, hearing that.

  He clearly did not believe me, seeing how close he was to defeating me, but when he tried to say that, he realized he could not open his mouth at all. Not only he could not open his mouth, but he could not even twitch.

  He felt like he was encased in iron crafted perfectly to his size, which restricted even the slightest movement of his body.

  "My sword is secondary, Leonard; my strings are my real weapon," I said, and I showed him what very few are able to see and are alive; those who see are already underworld.

  I revealed my strings, thousands of unfurling across his body; these strings are tens of times thinner than hair and have a faint green color. The strings are colorless, but I made them green, so he could see them; only see them, he will not be able to sense them.

  A smile couldn't help but appear on my face when I saw him trying to scan the strings with the soul sense; even he tried concentrating his soul sense on a single string and even then could not sense them.

  "This is my real weapon; these have killed all the enemies they have bound," I and looked him in the eyes.

  There is a reason I showed him my real weapon, which I only showed to a few people like my parents and Marina.

  "You have been blessed with great power; the evasive ability of your energy is beyond amazing. Try to control it and use it in the final moment to blast the enemy apart after you get the idea of their defenses," I advised.

  That evasive factor of his energy is a great weapon and would only get strong. He should not use it as a blast weapon but as a sharp weapon with surgical precision that will get a job done every time it is used.

  This had as much potential as my strings, as no one would expect a sneaky ability from destructive mammoth power.

  "Thank you for your advice, mentor; I will remember it." He said, and I nodded.

  "Oh, and remember, only use the 'Blood Burst' only when your life is at risk; it will leave you completely weakened that even King would be able to kill you easily," I cautioned. "I will not use it unless there is a threat to my life," he replied before walking out of the hall.

  His blood burst is a copy of my fourth boost; it will burn his essence for great power.

  While it may be a copy, it provides a stronger boost than my own first boost. As it would not be a direct blood burning but blood burning through his constitution's burst ability; even I don't know the limit of the power it will provide him, but I am sure it will horrifying.

  It will also leave him completely weakened, far more than I left when I burn my blood.

  I usually did not weaken much; if I burn a moderate amount of blood for less than a minute.

  I have left a recorder seed inside him; I will read the data I got from him and will adjust Inheritance that way. I could do it since I am the one who had created the Inheritance.

  "His power is really horrifying. Will Ellie would able to beat him if they fought?" Marina asked as she appeared behind me.

  Her question made me think for a while, "It will be hard for her to defeat him, but Leonard would also find it hard to defeat her," I replied.

  Elina had created core very early in Tyrant class, and it came with my benefits, like numerous abilities and, most importantly, the impartation.

  That damning impartation is equal to the hard-won experience of years, and she received it many times due to her advantage in creating the core early. Which made her a very tough enemy with numerous powerful abilities, including death phoenix in her arsenal.

  All of it makes her a very tough opponent to deal with.

  "So, what were you saying earlier," I asked Marina as I turned to her. She opened her mouth but closed it; she shuddered to see the burning fire in my eyes.

  I did not forget what she did to me earlier; she enticed me with that passion before leaving me high and dry.

  I had promised to take revenge for that, and I will take it.

  "I did not say anything; you must have been hallucinating," She said defensively as she took a step and was trying to take another when I appeared directly in front of her and grabbed her wrist, and moved my face toward her.

  "What are you planning to do?" Marina asked breathlessly as our lips were just a finger apart; I could feel her breathing and see the passion burning in her eyes which was just as hotter as the one burning in my heart.

  Tring Tring Tring

  "I w" I moved my lips closer to whisper something when I suddenly stopped her holowatch began ringing with a call.

  I move my hand to cut the call; I am not going to let anyone disturb; Marina deserves to be punished for what she did, and I will do that, and nobody will be able to stop me.

  I had just that thought that when my hands stopped, I saw who it was, and it instantly froze my hand.

  It is old woman Marla; even after so much time and gaining such strength that I could crush her with my breath, the old woman still scares me.
