Chapter 177 - Attaining The [Slaughterer’s Path]
To summarize the messages, everyone was astonished by his achievement to purchase a world seed. They had been worried and asked if he was hurt or if anything felt off after Kia began to explain the issue.
After that, nobody wrote anything for a moment and it seemed as if they tried to comprehend everything slowly.
However, not much time passed before they asked how they could help Shane, while his father immediately wrote.
How many mana stones do you need? without writing anything else.
Aunt Kia had yet to explain what she was going to do and his father seemed to have understood everything almost immediately.
When Shane saw this, he was baffled for a second. He didn't know what to think of his father's message because it seemed to have some meaning but somehow also none.
'Is he worried or does this message have a different meaning?' Shane was unsure how he should interpret the message. At the least, he was thankful that his father had offered help, which surprised him more than he had expected.
'It's not like my father never took care of me but only that he wanted me to follow the path specially created by him for me!'
That was a big difference, but even if it was like that, it didn't really change anything.
In the end Shane was still adamant about not wanting to return to the mansion to live with his father. He planned to evade his father until he would turn a new leaf or notice that he did something wrong.
Once he read through all the messages, Shane lifted his head to look at his aunt, who only smiled at him as she said
"You can enter the Dimension-sphere. There is no need to stay here. I already said that I'll take care of everything! Once you're done, you'll probably enter the Primordial Dimension without any delay, right? Take care of yourself and don't cause any more trouble while we try to acquire mana stones for you!
"
Grinning at her words, Shane replied that he wouldn't do too much until his world seed blossomed before he rushed out of the office towards the colosseum.
Following Shane with her gaze, Kia only sighed as she said,
"You are a bad liar…
"
Entering the colosseum, he walked towards the elevator which brought him to the floor where the Dimension-spheres were situated.
This time, he saw a different guardian stationed in front of the Dimension-spheres. He politely greeted the guardian before he showed him his ID through the status panel.
After that was done, he could enter the Dimension-sphere for the next 9 hours. It was the same duration he had been granted the last time he had entered the Dimension-sphere.
Shane was sure that he wouldn't need all of the 9 hours to reach the required threshold to attain the Slaughterer's Path technique, but it was better to be safe than wasting his precious time on Igra.
He stepped inside the sphere and saw himself standing in the completely white room. Shane immediately selected the Slaughterer's Path's visualization function, enlarging the room he was inside.
His surroundings changed and an overly familiar human youth manifested next to him with a curved longsword in his hands.
It was his replica who he saw standing next to him. He released the exact same bloodlust that Shane had established only a few days ago.
'So the Dimension-sphere updates itself, once I become stronger?' He noticed with a faint smile. He saw his double using the crimson-colored bloodlust to intertwine it with its killing intent. It created a full membrane around his double and the curved longsword in his hand.
'That's different…' Shane immediately sensed after comparing Frer's bloodlust-killing-intent to that of his double's.
However, based on what he perceived, Shane could already tell that the double's bloodlust-killing-intent was much more profound and extremely complex than his own.
This reaffirmed that the bloodlust he had established was the best for now. This temporarily satisfied him but he had more to achieve as he simultaneously released both his bloodlust and killing intent.
He couldn't intertwine them like his double, but he barely managed to envelop his curved longsword with both before he noticed a familiar black-scaled warrior appearing in front of him.
His Crimson Yaeli longsword was vibrating violently because of the two dominant forces revolting against each other on the curved longsword's surface. Shane slashed out at the warrior in front of him who deflected his attack with great difficulties.
The black-scaled warrior's hands almost went numb due to the powerful impact Shane created. The warrior staggered back a little and managed to evade Shane's next slash by a hair's breadth.
'Did they become faster?' Shane wondered after his opponent evaded his second attack. The warrior charged forward and attacked him with a powerful vertical slash, wanting to cleave him into two halves.
Trying to overwhelm the black-scaled warrior with his own strength, Shane erupted with the mana inside him. He suddenly recalled that his world seed was sealed inside the Dimension-sphere which caused him to be distracted for a quarter of a second.
Unable to completely deflect his opponent's attack, Shane forcefully extracted some mana out of his mana pool and circulated it through his arms.
He used the majority of the mana that he circulated through his arms to insert it into the Crimson Yaeli longsword. It began to gleam lightly as Shane attacked the heavy broadsword's vertical slash.
As the two swords clanged loudly, Shane felt that the impact caused his feet to sink in the ground which was already wet due to the blood of several thousand corpses littered across the battlefield.
Roaring in anger at his stupid mistake, his desire to win ignited deep within him, which caused his crimson-colored bloodlust to glimmer lightly as it turned slightly darker.
At the exact same time, Shane could feel that his strength increased as his bloodlust-killing-intent intertwined for a short moment, allowing his Crimson Yaeli longsword to cut the black scaled warrior's broadsword in two.
Before the black-scaled warrior could even react, Shane forcefully changed his curved longsword's trajectory to pierce through his chest without any hesitation.
As the black-scaled warrior looked at his chest, his red, bloodshot eyes widened, not knowing how he had lost the fight before all strength left his body.
The warrior slumped to the ground, and Shane glanced at the corpse for a moment before he averted his attention to the humongous-sized battlefield. It was filled with thousands of black scaled beings.
Taking a deep breath, the only thing Shane could do right now was to stay level-headed and control his bloodlust-killing-intent that finally seemed to accept each other slowly.
Their assimilation process had already started and the only thing they required were more fights and time!
After fighting against the black-scaled warrior for 9 days, Shane was finally released from the battlefield. The experience had been a combination of excitement and torture at the same time.
Leaving the Dimension-sphere after 9 hours, he entered the real world. He received a system notification that he checked with a broad smile on his lips.
Host has reached the threshold to attain the martial arts technique Slaughterer's Path Tier-1(Gold)! Congratulations!
After he received this message, Shane opened his status panel to take a proper look at his status that had undergone many changes in the last two months.

Walking towards the elevator he passed the guardian from earlier. The guardian looked at him with wide eyes as he mumbled. "Is the new generation already that terrifying? He is barely at the 6th Apprentice stage but has already established both bloodlust and killing intent! " Unbeknownst to Shane, he was still radiating faint streams of bloodlust-killing-intent that he had forgotten to withdraw after seeing that he had finally attained the Slaughterer's Path technique. Only after he left the colosseum, Shane noticed that something was off. Everyone eyed him weirdly while receding several steps, which caused him to retract it within a matter of seconds. 'I should really start caring more about my surroundings!' He told himself before he rushed towards the Portal hall. __________________________________ W E B N O V E L= https: / /bit.ly /3xrU5Yx If you like the novel, please support the Author with your powerstones __________________________________
