NOVEL WEB Chapter 213: Mythical Knight!
By the time the human warriors had arrived at the location, a strange phenomenon appeared.
Due to the large amount of mana congregating around Lucas, it had become visible even to ordinary people. The shapeless and colorless mana created a blue hue in the form of a tornado, twisting vigorously as Lucas absorbed everything like a black hole!
"When a blue tornado hits, a Mythical Knight is born. Now I understand what this quote means." Smith was awestruck by what he was witnessing.
"What a magnificent view!" Jared watched the scene unfold with wide eyes.
Meanwhile, the human warriors were similarly stunned. They had never seen this kind of phenomenon before.
"Lord Lucas is advancing to the realm of Mythical Knights!" A knowledgeable warrior exclaimed in surprise. His words caused a collective gasp of shock.
"A new venerable has arrived!"
"The Venerable of the North!"
"Venerable Lucas of the North!"
Everyone chanted with excited faces.
The North was always treated as a barren countryside and it had never produced a venerable throughout history. However, things were about to change with Lucas' advancement.
At this moment, the elves had finally noticed the strange phenomenon and they rushed to check the situation.
The first ones to arrive were the Transcendents and the 3-Ringed Beast Soul Masters.
Among them was the elven king himself, Garandel Greenwood.
He stared at the man who was at the center of this phenomenon with a look of disbelief.
Lucas is advancing to the realm of Mythical Knights!
A figure suddenly appeared next to him and exclaimed.
"Your Majesty, Lord Lucas is!"
It was Sunset who hurried over when she sensed the commotion.
A few more elven experts gathered around him and they all expressed their shock upon learning the situation.
With a Mythical Knight as our ally, we do not have to fear those old undying monsters anymore…
Upon thinking about this, Garandel issued a series of commands.
"Protect Lord Lucas! Inform our elven warriors to secure the perimeter and make sure that no wild beast or monster would disturb his advancement!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The elven warriors replied in unison.
This was a big matter. Some elves were worried that they would be oppressed by the humans, but some of them also thought that it was a blessing to have a powerful human as an ally.
A few hours passed by in the blink of an eye. Lucas had already absorbed all the energy inside the mana pearl, but he still hadn't achieved a breakthrough.
This time, he started absorbing the energy contained inside the beast soul crystal of the winged goblin monarch.
Some monsters and wild beasts were attracted by the commotion, but they were quickly eliminated by the elven and human warriors.
Three hours later, Lucas had already absorbed half of the energy inside the beast soul crystal.
I hit a bottleneck, but this is not enough to stop me from advancing!
Lucas thought when he felt a strong resistance during his breakthrough.
The absorption process became more difficult and it felt like something was blocking the mana from entering his body.
I must break this barrier to advance!
He pushed himself to the limits, causing his body to shake from the huge influx of energy that was flowing into his body.
His eyes sprang open, revealing his bloodshot eyes.
He felt a heart-gripping pain, but he gritted his teeth and endured it all.
In the next moment, the barrier that was preventing the energy from entering his body was finally broken.
He had successfully stepped into the realm of Mythical Knights!
Lucas didn't stop absorbing the energy from the beast soul crystal. He took in every last drop of energy to stabilize his advancement.
After he had absorbed the last drop of energy, the beast soul crystal disintegrated and turned into dust.
Lucas swept his gaze over the crowd, making everyone feel uneasy.
His eyes momentarily stopped at Alaric.
"I have succeeded. Thank you for ensuring my safety, everyone." Lucas cupped his fists at the gathered crowd to express his gratitude.
There was a moment of silence for a brief moment.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Alaric clapped his hands, breaking the silence. Everyone followed suit and they all gave Lucas a round of applause.
"Congratulations on your advancement, my lord." Alaric smiled at his father.
Lucas' breakthrough was a pleasant surprise for him. This would give House Silversword a protective barrier in the coming fight for the throne. His power would also deter the people who had bad intentions toward their family.
"Congratulations on your advancement, Venerable Lucas!"
"We greet the Venerable!"
Everyone lowered their heads, including the elven king. Garandel didn't dare use his authority to undermine Lucas. His Greenwood Kingdom wasn't powerful enough to offend a venerable.
Lucas waved his hand. "There is no need to be formal. I have been told by my son that we will become allies soon. How about we finalize this alliance and seal the agreement?"
He turned his gaze to the elven king as he said those words.
Garandel's eyes brightened upon hearing this.
"As you wish, Venerable One!" He nodded in response.
The elven king invited Lucas to his treehouse to seal the agreement.
Meanwhile, the crowd dispersed and they relayed the situation to those who didn't spectate the event.
As the crowd began to disperse, Alaric noticed Yvanna leaving together with Neo.
"Yvanna, wait!" He called out to her.
Some were surprised when they heard someone intimately call the elven princess' name, but when they realized that it was Alaric, they pretended like they didn't hear anything.
Heck! Who would dare stop the son of a Mythical Knight from flirting with someone?
Yvanna yelped when she heard his familiar voice. She stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around.
"Alaric…"
After she had learned that she liked him, Yvanna could no longer stare at his eyes.
Alaric stood before her and said with a serious expression.
"Yvanna, I need to speak with you."
The elven princess felt inexplicably nervous, but she still nodded in response. "Alright. Follow me."
