This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Shouts and Cheers resounded from the training field of the Aeon's mansion, a group of maids, guards and other workers from the mansion had gathered to a crowd, excitedly spectating the intense spar happening at the moment.

of the two figures fighting, the first was rather a familiar person to everyone who works in the mansion, she was the close friend of the 2nd prince and the known prodigy of the Great Cyrus family, Seraphina Cyrus.

While the later was a young woman with an ashen-blonde hair. she looked much the same like the lady of the Aeon family, but a younger version.

The younger looking Davina was wearing a light golden armour with a sun drawn in it, flaming golden crows were vividly inscribed through the armour, on her shoulder was a small fiery golden bird was coaming its feathers.

With the pace of the spar it was already a stretch calling it a spar, as it looked akin to an epic life or death fight, even thought either sides were using wooden weapons, the tension in the air was suffocating.

Sera's movements were quick, sharp and carried strong momentum, on the other side Davina's clone was steadily standing in the same spot, her movements... simple, precise and always keeping her in a superior position, her pace was relaxed yet unshakable, heavy yet ethereal, like a vague mountain behind the clouds. no matter what Sera did she couldn't gain any type of advantage against her.

Beads of perspiration were appearing on Sera's forehead, exhaustion was consuming Seraphina's stamina, after a while of high intensity fighting, barely noticeable flaw appeared in one of Sera's stances.

A spear went through the gap in defence, targeting Sera's heart guard, a flustered Sera took a step to the side nearly stumbling but surviving the sudden attack, however she wasn't out of danger yet.

In hopes of turning the tables, a bright glint appeared in Seraphina's eyes, counter-attacking, she bend down as she started sprinted, her spear's tip pointed to the ground, intending to put an end to the spar.

Suddenly, coldness spread through Seraphina's body a sensation of doom grasped her heart, her spear moved quickly, but the danger had already arrived, a spear's tip was inches away from her throat.

with a thud, Sera's spear fell to the ground, tilting her head down " I've lost " biting her lips in disappointment, she stood, as the wooden spear tip was moved away, she kept looking at her feet, her expression couldn't be seen.

planting the wooden spear on the ground, Davina's clone looked at Sera and smiled encouragingly " Your spear-manship progress is marvellous, with your current level you are definitely the top of your generation in the five great families " while talking Davina's clone took few steps towards Sera it started glowing.

grasping the air, the spear flew from the ground to her hand, raising her hand Davina's clone handed the spear to Seraphina " Sera... stand straight, you should be proud of yourself and remember..." while talking the clone's body started breaking out into light fragments as they turned to small flaming flowers, dispersing to the air;

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

A voice resounded in Seraphina's ears " The harder you work, the higher you rise ".

The surrounding crowd were startled for a moment but soon they resumed cheering and clapping, Seraphina raised her head, eyes reddening, she took the wooden Spear floating before her and stood straight, her eyes glowed with determination.

on the side near the training field, under the shadow of the mansion, Allen's mother, Davina was standing under a shade while observing Seraphina fight with the clone she made;

As she Looked to the side " Mary, what's your opinion on Sera's performance? ",

slightly behind Davina, stood a middle-aged woman, contemplating for a moment she replied " Miss Seraphina is truly talented in the path of the spear, she almost reminds me of when the first prince was learning swordsmanship they both have that unmatched battle sense, i believe all she lack is experience".

Nodding in agreement Davina asked again " What do you say about her personality? ".

A strange expression came on Mary's as she replied " she is a bit rash but overall she is good person with a pure heart ".

a moment later Davina said in low voice that only she and Mary could hear " I'm thinking on making her my disciple ", on the side Mary's eyes were wide open in shock.

.....

Allen's room, Allen stood in front of his desk, where multiple big sized cases were spread, behind him on the bed a a wardrobe worth of clothes was in the bed.

On the table at his right side, three black crystal bank cards and one golden card which meant three anonymous untraceable bank accounts and one with the highest privileges bank accounts, a fake identity card and multiples books discussing different types of information, a seal of the Myriad Dao Realm's Aeons Family and two another unknown seals, communication devices, some spatial storage Equipment.

On his left side was a Dark Cloak with black runic inscriptions spread all over the cloak, a hand guard and other parts of a soft armour.

on the side a specially made metallic case sat, three mysterious words were written in ancient runic languages the metallic case was sealed using runic seals.

looking at both sides Allen had a smug smile on his face, taking a deep breath, he focused all his attention on the desk again specifically at the long black cases, which were his most priced collections, his eyes glowing and a weasel-like smile in his face, with unconcealed excitement he opened them one by one.

A sharp aura erupted from each case he opened, the cases were of weapons Allen bought secretly through out the last two years, there was a Halberd, a pair of swords, a bow and a pair of daggers, each and any one of them emitted an intense sharp aura showing their high grade.

Suddenly an old man's voice rang out of nowhere as a miniature dwarf made of blue light was floating around the room, "what a waste of money, if you gave me half the money you spent on these useless things i could've made a true masterpiece not some low level trash like what you bought!".

The dwarf's tone was irritating and his voice like the rubbing of metal parts even thought he wasn't of flesh and blood he surely had a vivid life-like expressions the disdain and the earnest disappointment on his face, with tobacco pipe that was twice his size, he was a master at ruining anyone's mood.

Allen was having a headache from dealing with the Dwarf spirit, he looked at him annoyed and said sarcastically " well in case you forgot you are a spirit not a real dwarf, and secondly you and weapon crafts couldn't be more far than each other"

Unconvinced, the dwarf said in his annoying to hear voice " spirit or not i'm a dwarf, even my worst works is of a higher grade than theses things ".

Annoyed, Allen looked at the dwarf and said " and what will i do with a high grade weapon if i can't use it? look at it?".

with an innocent expression "Don't look at me like that, its not a secret that you dragons like collecting shiny things".

" Novath let us make a deal, you stay silent about everything you saw here and i will buy you a package of that high quality tobacco you got last time" Allen replied.

his eyes lightning up " i want four packages ",

"you get two " Allen,

"three" Novath,

"one" Allen,

"two" Novath,

"deal" Allen looked at Novath with a smile as he took a two packages from a bag on the side and said "here you go!".
