Chapter 218: A Fast Learner
Since he didn't want to be called a crazy person for talking to hi the cave Despite the theactivated, he could still feel Dark Self's existence It was a surreal sensation unlike anything he had ever experienced He suspected it was due to the fact that they both acknowledged each other
The sensation was just a feeling, however They still couldn't converse without the help of the mirror However, Sila could feel what Dark Self would do or say in certain situations Nevertheless, the one who makes the final decision would still be Sila
With the sa for Sila's return On the table, in addition to the bottle of sake, was a solden box Its size was similar to all the random boxes in Monster Soul Sila had opened before
”You have finished your business, right? Sit down first I have so at an empty chair next to him Sila approached the table and sat down
Crow stared at him ”Whatever you wanted to do in the Cave of Immortals, did you succeed?”
”Yes, sir I—”
Crow lifted his hand to stop Sila froolden box toward him
”It's better if I don't know Take it”
”What is this, sir?” Sila asked while flipping the box Except for its eye-catching color, there was nothing special about it
”The reward of the quest It's yours”
”Is it about our previous spar? You don't have to do this, sir I honestly don't want anything”
”No, that's not it Actually, you should have obtained this prize the first time you were here As the NPC stationed in the Valley of Iht to choose who receives the reward out of those who can reach this valley by theive it to you last time because Sanon and Vichien asked me not to”
”Is that so?” replied Sila He put the box in front of him In his mind, Dark Self clearly displayed dissatisfaction when he heard the names of the two Elders
Crow poured sake into his mouth ”Don't misunderstand It's ive it to you or not, it ultimately depended on me By the way, those two didn't do it with malice In fact, they wished you well”
”Wished ive you a suitable weapon It sounds like a good thing, however, we all know that the Flareat a weapon you obtain froer will decline and you will only end up being a stepping stone for Montra Sanon and Vichien orried that you ht lose, so they told me to keep it at least until after the war event”
Crow continued ”If I didn't know about your iven this box to you Having a weapon is beneficial for you in the long run I considered it would be harmful to you in the short ter you this tiiant stone mountain This trivial matter won't be able to make you waver”
Sila sat still ”What have the Elders been doing? Could you please tellto reduce Montra's army in order to indirectly help you Sanon announced a strict order prohibiting all his disciples fro the order As for Vichien, he exited the game and visited several dojo'sMontra Only Mora, your teacher, kept his silence and hasn't done anything”
”That's because Teacher believes in me! The other two Elders don't think I have what it takes to accoets a chance toto help!” Sila stood up and raised his voice
Sila had been thinking that he had been cheated by Montra However, it turned out that Montra was the one being cheated Even though it was just a s, Sila felt he could sympathize with Montra's ee if Mora, his own teacher, was supporting his opponent instead of him
If that were to happen, undoubtedly, he would extreh, he had never considered this point of view before Was this Dark Self's perspective when he looked at Montra?
”If you were an ordinary player, I would have already given you this box without caring for the consequences Therefore, take it”
Sila promptly took the box Since the Elders didn't want hiertips touched the box's cover, Crow fired bullet energy at hi Sila to hastily evade
”What was that for, sir?”
”Drink this cup of sake and open it elsewhere I don't want to knohat you get,” Crow replied while pushi+ng a cup of sake toward Sila
Under normal circumstances, Sila wouldn't drink alcohol However, he wasn't in the mood to decline today He sed all the sake in his cup in one gulp A sweet fragrance and hot flavor flowed from his neck to his stoain until after the war event ends I beg your pardon Farewell, sir”
Crow nodded, and Sila leaped toward the exit, heading for the forest As he left, Crowif Sila heard
”You shall come back for sure, Sila, and there will be no handicap next time”
Crow silently eolden box in his hand His body soared through the Single-Horned Dragon Forest like he was a forest spirit The ti, but Sila felt like a long tiht As he entered the inner forest, he stopped his feet and stared at the box in his hand
”I won't let anyone else decide things for us Since I already have the Crystal Divine Sword, this one is yours”
All alone, Sila talked to himself in the forest Yet he knew that there was so to his words That person responded to his words by e Dark Psychic Corrosion froolden box was opened, and a golden crystal flew out before absorbing Dark Psychic Corrosion and dyeing itself jet black Even natural light from the moon and stars were absorbed into it Finally, pure darkness reigned over the area, and in front of Sila was a thick sword, both its dangerously jagged blade and its handle the darkest black Sila had ever seen It seemed to be made from a black crystal that shone even in a world covered in darkness
Sila extended his hand to grab it He gave the sword a name as soon as the system asked hiuessed that Dark Self came up with it

”Seal the Crystal Demonic Sword,” Sila said, and the black sword flew into the Mechanical Evil God's Protection
