Chapter 837: Life Fails (2/2)

Roben didn't mind it.

”Very well. Then again, even if you could only awaken a single dagger's Spirit, it's still worth the price of an awakening. Anyway, I'm looking forward to what you can do during the next two months.”

Krune smiled and immediately put the dagger aside before taking the other one into his hand. The dark clouds of the Calamity Laws then gathered around that dagger as Krune initiated the process of awakening once again.

Another month went by in a flash. During the month, Krune had finally reached the 2nd Stage of the Godly Fusion Realm. After breaking through into the Godly Fusion Realm, Krune's cultivation speed had decreased by a lot. He still used his mind-splitting technique to cultivate and comprehend the laws while working. However, the amount of energy necessary had increased by a lot. Before, Krune only took around a month to go from the 8th to the 9th Stage of the Mortal Rejection Realm, but now Krune took three months to go from the 1st to the 2nd Stage.

'Well, I doubt it would continue to be that simple anyway. However, if it already takes three months to do it here in the God Realm, I don't want to even think how long it would take in the Godly Path Realm. At the very least, it would be ten times longer.'

However, Krune also understood why he couldn't cultivate faster.

'I need higher level Spirit Stones. However, I'm still stuck at the lowest level of equipment. Once I become good enough to awaken God Foundation Stars Equipment, the God Stones I receive from them will help out a lot.'

That was the plan Krune had formulated in his mind. With that said, he once again focused on awakening the Spirit of the second dagger, which he took another month to reach success. Naturally, he called Roben over once more.

”Oh! So you took around the same time to awaken this one.”

Krune nodded.

”Yes. This time, however, I failed 92 times.”

Zap, who was there to examine the dagger's Spirit, found it very good already.

”What are you complaining about? This pretty much guarantees that you have an average success rate of a little bit over 1%. Do you have any idea how jealous any of the other Spirit Awakeners are once they find out? There will definitely be a lot of Spirit Awakener Guild Officials coming over to see you after this.”

”Officials?”

Roben nodded as he said.

”Yes. Your special case had to be reported to our Spirit Awakener Guild's Sector Headquarters. After all, our City's Guild Master, Senior Dima, couldn't simply open the City Guild's coffer and pay your debt without reporting to them first. From that point onwards, they kept an eye on you to see just how good your method is.”

Zap then continued.

”However, it's still too early to decide how good you are with it. After all, you might have just been lucky with these two daggers. Once you finish awakening the Spirits of other equipment, we will have a better understanding of your ability.”

Krune nodded. This was a lot more attention than he wanted, but he already grew used to his life of low-profile fails.

”Is there something I should worry about if my success rate is confirmed?”

Roben shook his head as he replied.

”Not that I know. I'm sure they will try to attempt and emulate your methods. However, Guild Master, I, Zap, and the other elders already tried to do it. They'll eventually understand that simply copying you isn't possible. Of course, they might have other methods that we don't know, but I find it hard to believe they can work around it.”

”What happens if they can't copy my methods?”

Roben shrugged his shoulders, saying.

”That I don't know. Anything might happen as far as I know. It all depends on how they will respond to it.”

Krune sighed in response but nodded in the end. He knew that escaping wasn't an option. There was no lack of Divine Senses locked on him. Of course, he couldn't feel them due to the cultivation difference. However, Krune had never lacked IQ, so he could imagine this much. If he wanted to leave without anyone seeing, he would need to use something like Luvile's Purple Tribulation Lightning Layer. Unfortunately, he didn't have that anymore.

”Well, whatever happens, happens.”

He thought about purposely failing the Spirit Awakening from now on. But there was a problem with that. If he did that, he wouldn't receive any payment. Naturally, he won't have God Stones to cultivate anymore. The God Stones he was receiving now aren't even close to satiate his Godly Energy Meridians. Let alone if he stopped receiving anything.

'Perhaps I should give up and focus on alchemy again? However, I can't create the Purple Flames anymore. Besides, I'm really far behind in alchemy than I am in blacksmithing and Spirit Awakening. It'll take way too long to bring that back to a profitable level.'

Krune shook his head in the end. He decided that it was better to continue on as a Spirit Awakener.

Both daggers were at the One Godly Fusion Star level. Because of that, Krune was paid 2000 Rank One God Stones. Of course, he could only retain 30% of it while the rest of it was taken away because of his debt.

”600 Rank One God Stones... Well, better than nothing.”

Krune then focused on the armor, which was the last One Star Equipment. The two swords were at the Two Stars Level, so Krune decided to leave them aside for now.

”Well, then. Back to work.”
