n“Teacher, you’ve succeeded!” Sister Windcloud Nine gleefully shouted. Judging by her reaction, she seemed to be happier than Akna to see her in possession of Tuhr Sacred Sword.

n“Yes.”

nAkna clenched Tuhr Sacred Sword tightly against her. She was too overwhelmed with emotions to say anything more.

nVisible to the naked eye, vigorous pressure was amassing on the sword and slowly flowing towards Akna’s body.

n“It’s all thanks to you two that I can get my hands on Tuhr Sacred Sword.”

nDing!

nSystem Notification: The Affinity between you and Akna has increased profusely.

nDing!

nYour relationship is now Adoration.

nJust a show of gratitude has brought the Affinity to a whole new level. Li Yi was pleased with the results because he knew that the increase of Affinity and closeness in their relationship meant he could reap more benefits from her.

n“Teacher, how did you enter the fifth stage? How did you subdue the sacred sword?” Naive Sister Windcloud Nine started with her questions.

nLi Yi thought that Akna would not answer to these questions. He did not think that Akna would not hold back and explained the whole situation in detail.

n“When I entered, a Tuhr Sacred Sword flew my way. Its handle was facing towards me so on impulse, I grabbed it with my hands…”

nAkna caressed Tuhr Sacred Sword as she recalled the earlier scene. She was still hot with emotions.

nThe fifth stage Territory Field was created by Tuhr Sacred Sword and there was only one such sword in there. It would hang around the fifth stage entryway once every three days, and that very moment was the only chance to seize the sword.

nOnce Tuhr Sacred Sword was in hand, its Territory was no longer a threat. Akna was dragged and suspended in the air by Tuhr Sacred Sword for a few rounds. Her HP was gradually dropping and when she was about to pass out, she caught sight of the fifth stage altar stone.

nOn it, an incantation was recorded. Reciting the words, the fiery Tuhr Sacred Sword finally calmed down.

nAfter bouts of struggle and torment, Akna persisted on for over six hours to finally subdue Tuhr Sacred Sword.

n“This demonic sword’s miraculous, I can already sense it. The blood flowing in my veins is such a beautiful feeling…” Akna joyfully embraced Tuhr Sacred Sword, afraid of it escaping her grip.

nLi Yi took the opportunity to ask, “Your Highness Akna, about the Mount Emblem…”

n“Hahaha, it’s a small matter. You’ve been a huge help. I would’ve told you even if you didn’t ask. I have an incantation here, remember this. Argooloo, aloo, looaloo…”

nBy the time Akna was done reciting, it was automatically recorded in Li Yi’s Quest Pane.

n“This is a powerful incantation to enhance the Soul’s Oath Scroll. When used on a controlled target when it’s HP is below 10%, there’s a high chance the target would become a Mount Emblem.”

nIt was finally settled!

nLi Yi was elated. Although he did not obtain Tuhr Sacred Sword, the weight that has been bothering him was lifted. It did not matter to him whether or not he has Tuhr Sacred Sword, as Onyxia was more important to him.

nThe current level cap was Level 100 and with flying mounts on the rise, having a good mount would decide one’s fate in breaking the dungeon’s record during the opening of Flight Dungeon.

nLi Yi obtained Dark Incantation and Sister Windcloud Nine too did not leave empty-handed. In a fit of happiness, Akna passed down all teachable spells to Sister Windcloud Nine without inhibitions, and that included Forbidden Curse. It was then Li Yi found out that the relationship between Sister Windcloud Nine and Akna had reached Worship.

n“This staff is of no use to me so I’m giving it to you.”

nJust before they parted ways, Akna handed her Skull Staff to Sister Windcloud Nine.

n“Teacher…” Sister Windcloud Nine was touched beyond words.

nAkna recited an incantation and sketched a dark teleportation door with Tuhr Sacred Sword before disappearing into it.

nShe left.

nSister Windcloud Nine held Skull Staff as she expressed her gratitude to Li Yi, “Mr. Ulumuchi, thank you.”

n“You’re welcome.”

nAkna left using a teleportation door but Li Yi and Sister Windcloud Nine were incapable of doing the same. They had to depend on their legs to leave Tuhr Altar.

nTuhr Sacred Sword has been claimed so no monsters would appear in Tuhr Altar within this short time period. The monsters would reappear once Tuhr Sacred Sword respawned.

nLi Yi cupped his chin, “Ah right, when Tuhr Sacred Sword was after you before, the Tuhr Sacred Swords in the entire fourth stage disappeared. There has to be some reason behind it.”

nSister Windcloud Nine’s face blushed in red as she recollected her thoughts, “I was in the midst of using Dark Curse spells and about to use my blood in sacrificial ceremony, when… when at the wave of my hand, the sacred sword appeared out of the blue… and my blood stained that sword.”

n“Blood stained the sword?” Li Yi was shocked.

nLi Yi turned and headed back.

n“What’s wrong?”

n“To the fifth stage.”

nAkna had already retrieved Tuhr Sacred Sword, so the fifth stage Territory Field should disappear along with it. Although he could not possess a sacred sword, he has not read the fifth stage altar stone. What better time to read it than now?

nSister Windcloud Nine clapped her hands, “Ah right, we hadn’t gone to the fifth stage. It’ll be a waste if we leave now.”

nThe duo arrived at the entryway of the fifth stage. Li Yi summoned Violent Bear’s Protection and was the first to tread in.

nThe Territory Field in the fifth stage was indeed gone. This time, Li Yi did not experience elemental attacks.

nSister Windcloud Nine too made her way in. The duo exchanged glances before taking quick steps forward.

nNo one knew when would the fifth stage Territory Field return so they hurried.

nWith no obstacles ahead, they soon caught glimpse of the altar stone.

nThe record about Tuhr Sacred Sword was more descriptive on the fifth stage altar stone. It was mentioned that blood could temporarily weaken the demonic attribute on Tuhr Sacred Sword. It was similar to what Akna has described before, grabbing Tuhr Sacred Sword as it made its round at the entryway to forcefully subdue it.

nSister Windcloud Nine said, “Nothing much here.”

nLi Yi shook his head. He has read all the stones in Tuhr Altar and combining all of them together, he has a sense that this was not all.

nCould it be a sixth stone within Tuhr Altar?

nLi Yi glanced to his left and right, noting that in this empty walkway, there was nothing but the altar table before him.

n“Let’s search!”

nLi Yi hurled these words before tapping his Purple Broadsword on the walls. Sister Windcloud Nine imitated his actions and knocked on the other side of the wall.

nThe walkway in the fifth stage of Tuhr Altar was simple. It was a cross-shaped with a thick frame over a tiny frame and sharp corners. With a bit of patience, the entire area could be covered fairly quickly.

nAt the crossroad, Li Yi and Sister Windcloud Nine separated to the left and right respectively. If both of them stuck together, it will take way too long for the search. It was much faster if they separated.

n“Mr. Ulumuchi, I see a huge treasure chest!”

nThe duo had not separated for long when Sister Windcloud Nine suddenly shouted out.

n
