Chapter 479 – 479: Emergency
Even the short sword\'s name seemed to be cut out for him, called the \'Severing of Second Chances\' it made him want this short sword even more.
So much that he was even ready to buy it without looking at its price, but the moment he thought about it and saw the short sword\'s price, he almost had a heart attack, and felt his soul leave his body.
\'Cough…, cough…, cough…\'
He had to cough a few times in order to be able to recollect himself and regain his calmness as this short sword seemed to be available for the price of 20 Million SP points.
That\'s right, there were 7 fu*cking zeroes behind that first number 2, which made every possible good impression he had of the Legacy System jump headfirst to the bottom of the ocean.
This damnable thing of an artifact that he possessed, his great cheat code, his biggest plot armor was for sure rigged and didn\'t work as it should.
Shouldn\'t the systems give easy tasks and good rewards? Why was it only him that he needed to work his ass off like crazy in order to get even something useful?
This was most certainly a glitch! The fu*cking Legacy System must be hacked. Even though he understood the value of a 5-star weapon, he still felt that it was too much.
It took Eric quite some time to actually calm down, as he still held some resentment towards the Legacy System at that moment and couldn\'t help but look at the 4-star grade weapons.
The weakest of the bunch cost about 100.000 SP points, while the best among the 4-star grade weapons was actually 550.000 SP points.
Well it wasn\'t just one actually it was a paired weapon as it was two daggers, called the \'Ice-Flame Reaper\' with one of them being cold as ice, and the other being hot as lava.
Looking at their information and also utility Eric could tell that they were pretty good, not far away from the short sword, the only difference was their spiritual sentience.
These two daggers didn\'t have any trace of spiritual sentience despite being borderline to being 5-star grade weapons.
Eric was in quite the dilemma at that moment, as he didn\'t know whether he should save for the short-sword or buy them there and then.
Not to mention that once he did the purchase he would be left with only a few tens of thousands more SP points than upgrading his movement technique.
While he was still hesitating and looking at them, he finally saw something that pushed him to actually purchase the two daggers.
Besides the extra resistance towards the elements of the two daggers, there was also a Stealth skill that could be used in the environment of the daggers element.
In other words, if he were in the water, or amidst fire, Eric could use the daggers to completely stealth himself to the surroundings, which was a great help to the current him.
Especially knowing that his hiding spot and his great Nightless Stone City were actually found underwater.
With these thoughts in mind, despite being reluctant and broken-hearted, Eric actually pressed on the Yes button to complete the purchase of the two daggers and took them outside.
Without losing time he quickly bit on his finger and let a few drops of blood fall onto the two daggers, as he could feel the establishment of the connection between him and the two daggers.
In fact, now he could even lead and use the two daggers through his spirit sense, which was extremely difficult at the moment.
It was the same as trying to be a telepath or using telekinesis the spirit power consumed and wasted was too much and too quick.
He could only try to train and get the hang of it slowly. But he was sure that it would be worth it, so he was extremely excited about it.
With the weapon testing over, and the shopping spree over, Eric could finally press on the YES button to absorb all the information and techniques that he had just bought.
\'AAARRRGGGHHHH~!\'
Even someone like him wasn\'t able to take that much information without pain or torture, as he felt like his head was going to explode just like some sort of watermelon.
It had been quite some time since he last felt something like this, but now wasn\'t the time to think about that, as the pain would only increase.
When his brain was already overloaded with the information he was receiving, he couldn\'t afford to use it for anything, even if it was simple thinking and remembering.
Fortunately, while the information was precious and difficult to understand wasn\'t much, and with the help of the system, he was already at entry level at both skills.
The \'7 senses analyze skill\' was difficult to use in that place, as he only tried to practice it towards some elements and objects, while the \'Void Steps\' were otherworldly even at entry-level.
Considering his current Realm, speed, and this skill, he would be able to win a 100-meter race against that Usain Bolt in just a step.
In fact, it would be worse than a grown-ass man bullying a little kid, making him not know what to think at that moment.
Well, anyway that didn\'t matter much right now, and this place was just too small for him to practice the skill, as he felt that \'Void Steps\' skill was made for large open places and distances.
With those thoughts in his mind, he left the basement and went towards the ground floor of the mansion. The moment that he appeared at the door though, Akira jumped towards him,
"Master we have an Emergency!"
"What happened!?"
"Sister Amane just sent news that the Takeshiba family has decided to annul the marriage between you and Takeshiba Aika, so they could marry her to your brother, Michael!"
"OH~! It seems like these guys have finally started to make their move! Using such an obvious trap to get me to reveal myself!"
"Master what are you going to do about this!? You don\'t plan on going there, do you!? Just like you said this is an obvious trap."
"What are you saying Akira, of course, I will go there! But it won\'t be me the one to cause trouble, I will just go there to enjoy the show!"
"Huh!? What do you mean Master!?"
"Really simple actually, I want to see whether the Takeshiba family dares to proceed with this plan.
No matter how useless the Young Masters of the Shiba, and Yuzuriha families are, I am sure that they won\'t let this happen!
That would be just too much of a slap to their faces, as they would be losing twice against a commoner!"
Saying that Eric seemed to fall in a stupor and think deeply for a few moments, before actually being reminded of something important and asking,
"By the way, where is the wedding scheduled to happen?"
"Right above us! It seemed to be your brother\'s request that the wedding happens over the basin of your dead body, as to have your soul rest in peace knowing that he will take good care of your wife!"
Akira was quite worried as she said those words as she thought that Eric would explode in anger and curses but different from her expectations, Eric started laughing out loud,
"Hahahahahah~! That guy truly never seems to learn! Well, let us see what will happen!"
…
Not far from there, in a newly built base of the Yuzuriha family in the Senkaku Islands, Young Master Yuzuriha was being accompanied by Young Master Shiba Yahiko and Young Master Kisaki Haoru.
All three of them seemed to be indulging in alcohol and beauties, as Young Master Shiba Yahiko was the first to be unable to control himself as he cursed,
"That bastard uncle of mine, how dares he hand over the love of my life to a damned commoner twice! I can\'t accept this!"
As the Young Master who had loved Takeshiba Aika the most, there was no way he would be able to bear two different people taking her from his hands twice.
In the heat of those feelings, and the incitement of the alcohol he didn\'t care for the face and standing of his uncle, as he cursed and chided.
"Young Master Shiba has been in love with Young Lady Takeshiba Aika for a long time, each and every one of us could testify to this!
It\'s true that the Takeshiba family\'s conduct in this matter is extremely lacking and unjust! But you should be careful of your words Young Master Shiba.
People might think of you wish to act against the Takeshiba family if you aren\'t careful!"
The one to say these words was surprisingly the hot-headed Young Master Yuzuriha and not Kisaki Haoru, but Young Master Shiba didn\'t have the brain to think about that, as he snorted and said,
"Hmph~! Who cares about that! So what if I want to act against them!"
"But that would cause a big problem with the big families!"
Young Master Yuzuriha seemed still strongly against this, but it was at this time that Young Master Kisaki Haoru that had been silent the whole time said in a lost voice,
"That would be only if they know who was the one behind it, no!?"
"What do you mean Haoru!?"
"No, he is right! As long as they have no idea who acted, everything will be fine!"
"Young Master Shiba what are you even saying, do you know the weight of your words!?"
"Hmph~! It was their fault for pulling such a stunt, now they can only face the consequences…
