Chapter 417
“Yes, but as a last resort.” Blake said.
[Are you ready for the consequence of showing how powerful your weapon is?] The system asked.
No one had a clue of what a legendary weapon would look like, talk more of one Azkelwart used before he became a deity. The problem was that even though many thought it was an epic-tier weapon, its powers and strength would attract lots of the wrong attention.
“I already have a lot of enemies so adding a few more wouldn’t change a thing.” Blake let out a helpless sigh.
With his quick accent in the adventurer association, Blake’s accomplishment and record of not failing a single mission had made a lot of people jealous.
In the space of almost 2 years, he had been involved in 3 assassination attempts but they had all failed.
.....
It wasn’t as if they underestimated him, it was just that Blake had too many hidden cards.
No one knew he had the space element so they were only making preparations to counter the fire and lightning elements. Also, there was still the system that could detect a lot of things people in the Hero realm couldn’t.
[Alright then, I just wanted to know your decision.] The system said.
After weighing the pros and the cons the system agreed that it was a good decision because not only would he get a strong artifact if he won the regional competition, but he would gain more recognition that would in turn open more doors for him.
“If I am to reveal them as my trump card, they need to be on the level of a trump card. No offense.” Blake said to Ebony and Ivory.
Right from the moment ebony and Ivory evolved, Blake had been feeding them tons of beast cores, but even after almost 2 years, they hadn’t evolved.
“Men, you guys are turning into a bottomless pit, hope you evolve this time.” Blake said with a tear in his eyes as he brought out 2 king-rank beast cores.
He had gotten one of the king-rank beast cores as a reward from the ruin they had raided while purchasing the remaining 2 with a lot of gold coins.
[Why are you still complaining about gold coins when you have a lot.] The system couldn’t help but facepalm for Blake being a cheap stake.
During his 2nd year, Blake launched more inventions from Earth making him more than twice richer than he was in his first year.
“Even though I am rich, if I spend my gold coins anyhow I would return to being broke. So I have to keep my spending way below my earning.” Blake felt his heartache when he remember that he spent 2.5 million gold coins on each king rank beast core.
“let’s get this over with or I might cry.” Blake said to Ebony and Ivory as they immediately fused together.
Ebony and Ivory in their combined form had a 2-meter tall black and blue energy wolf body with red and blue eyes.
Awoo!
They howled in excitement when they saw the King rank beast cores that were twice the size of Blake’s hands.
Blake gave them the brown king rank beast core which came from an earth beast that he had no idea of.
On entering their mouth, the beast core instantly dissolved causing their energy body to glow with an extremely bright light.
“That’s a good sign.” Blake couldn’t help but smile with his fingers crossed.
He waited for a few minutes for them to completely assimilate the enormous amount of energy in the King rank beast core before feeding them again.
The next king-rank beast core was orange in color and came from a fire-type beast.
Blake fed them the beast core, but this time the light from absorbing the beast core was even brighter.
“Let’s go!” At this point, Blake was pumped because it was safe to say that their evolution was sure.
This time it took them a longer time for them to assimilate the beast core, but Blake could wait.
After close to an hour of waiting Ebony and Ivory were back up on their feet, but when Blake tried feeding the last king-rank beast core they didn’t want to eat it.
“What’s wrong?” Blake couldn’t help but ask.
Awoooo!
Ebony and Ivory howled as they pointed around the room.
“How did I forget that the King rank evolutions are always explosive?” Blake patted them on the head for reminding him.
It had been 2 years since the exam with the ant queen incident, but Blake could still remember every single detail that happened that day.
[I don’t think the training rooms would be able to withstand the King rank evolution process. Also, even if it could withstand the damage, it would gather a lot of attention.] The system said.
“To the forest then.”
Blake wasted no time to board a carriage that took him to the western gate.
From there he began moving deep into the forest because he didn’t want a situation where those on the city wall would be able to spot the energy pillar from the sky.
After close to an hour of travelling through the forest Blake finally stopped after the system told him it was far enough.
He quickly scanned the area for any humans, before clearing out the beasts that could interrupt the evolution process.
“Are you guys ready?” Blake asked, receiving a nod from Ebony and Ivory.
“Alright then, lets get this over with.” Blake said as he fed them the blue king rank beast core that came from an ice beast.
