BXBX NOVEL Chapter 449 Honor
"I\'m just wondering how you were able to kill the Keltia ranked Heligav!" The Dojo Master smiled lightly at the small frame of Nial while leaning against the door.
The Dojo Master didn\'t appear to be tensed, which Nial noticed quite easily.
"I just gave my best, I guess?" Nial answered with a shrug, acknowledging that he actually killed the Keltia Heligav.
\'Just give your best?... Is that so…\' The Dojo Master thought while his attention remained on Nial.
"I hope you will not tell the Heligav that I was the one who stole their Swirl of Chaos ability crystal, right?" Nial asked in an attempt to make sure that he was on the safe side. In the future, he might want to return to Alliance City, which meant that he shouldn\'t be blacklisted, let alone on the wanted list.
"Telling them? I\'m not insane, you know! They\'re our enemies as well, so if anything, I should thank you properly for killing this piece of shit, hahaha." The Dojo Master burst into a short laughter that died down within the following seconds.
The Dojo Master was quite relaxed and comfortable around Nial, telling the young Original that he was actually happy about him killing the Heligav.
"And you absorbed the Swirl of Chaos, didn\'t you?" He asked Nial one of the other questions he was curious about.
The Dojo Master could see the finances of all members, who belonged to the Thousand Bodies Refinements Dojo. The Insignia where their finances were stored were connected to the banking system of the Dojo, which was how the Dojo Master could tell that Nial was currently one of the richest individuals in the entire Alliance City!
"It\'s my last ability, yes. After I finish the 10,000 Refinements of Imperfectia, I will finally advance to the Deux rank. But I will take your leave before that. There is something I have to do," Nial answered in all honesty. The information he shared was actually not that secretive if one were to ignore the origin of the Swirl of Chaos ability crystal.
"I expected you to leave, so I prepared a few things that should be quite useful for you. There are also a few new creations of body refinement pills in the storage ring, so you can test them out while practicing the 10,000 Refinements of Imperfectia technique," The Dojo Master said, throwing a storage ring in Nial\'s direction.
Nial caught it easily and he accessed it in an instant.
\'Martial Art techniques, Advanced Body Refinements techniques, a bunch of resources suitable for body refinement…not bad at all!\' He thought, slowly nodding his head as he put on the storage ring.
"Thank you very much…" Nial wanted to thank the Dojo Master properly, just for him to recall something he never noticed before, "By the way…what\'s your name?"
Nial smiled wryly when he asked the Dojo Master for his name, but the Dojo Master didn\'t seem to be all that bothered about this. He burst into a laugh and waved off his hand.
"It has been quite a while since someone asked for my name. All Valxians know it but they don\'t dare to speak my name because they deem it rude," The Dojo Master explained before he cleared his throat, "My name is Colossus, you can call me that as well."
"Colossus? That\'s a nice name," Nial mused and he nodded his head while his grin turned wider, "It was nice meeting you, Colossus! Let\'s have a spar when we encounter each other in the future!"
Nial stepped forward and he reached his hand out to Colossus. His entire frame was tiny in comparison to Colossus\' huge build, but Nial was not fazed by it in the slightest as he kept smiling confidently.
Nial didn\'t even know that it was an honor to be allowed to call Colossus by his name. He was oblivious to the Valxian\'s achievements and that he was basically considered one of the Valxian race\'s Heroes of the New Age.
But not even Colossus was bothered by this because he had a weird feeling about Nial.
\'Why can I tell that he is serious about sparring with me? … And why am I certain that I will have to do my best if that spar were to actually happen?\' Colossus thought.
He was confused by his own thoughts and the feeling he got when wondering how strong Nial was and the true extent of his talent.
\'Looks like I have to keep working hard to make sure that he won\'t be able to defeat me in the future…\' Colossus concluded, smirking at the thought of fighting Nial with all his might as he extended his humongous hand.
"It was nice meeting you. Let\'s have a battle that shakes the heavens and earth when we meet again!" Colossus replied while shaking Nial\'s hand.
Nial smiled in return, and he nodded his head.
"I will definitely defeat you at that time!" Nial said with a grin and they let go of each other\'s hand after a few seconds.
Nial was still cradling the Little Oracle in her arms, and he had intended to wait for her to wake up before leaving.
However, to make the current situation less awkward, Nial would have to leave the Pagoda right now.
"I left you a small gift. I hope it will help you and your Disciples to grow stronger!" Nial said, pointing at the office table before he walked past the Dojo Master.
He left the Pagoda with the Little Oracle in his arms and Ryu on his shoulder.
\'So…where the hell am I supposed to wait until this little Princess wakes up?\' Nial wondered while bearing a mysterious smile.
As Nial was searching for a pleasant place to stay until the Little Oracle would wake up, Colossus took a look at the storage ring, which Nial had left behind.
Most storage rings would automatically adjust themselves to the being that held them. Thus, there was no problem for the Dojo Master to pick up the storage ring, wear it and access it.
"Oh?... Huh?" Colossus\' expression changed every few seconds and it grew more intense the longer he spent time examining the contents of the storage ring.
The storage ring was far from being filled but the content inside it was exceptional even if it didn\'t look like this at the beginning.
Seconds of investigating the items inside the storage ring turned into minutes and minutes turned into hours.
The Dojo Master missed several important appointments thanks to the findings he made within the storage ring. He bore an expression of ecstasy and nothing would be able to disrupt the genuine happiness he felt right now.
"I didn\'t even know that there was something like that… That\'s amazing!!" Colossus exclaimed, not even noticing that a familiar figure had appeared in the office.
"Dojo Master… what are you doing here instead of the Emergency Meeting of the Alliance??" Elder Walin looked at the exhilarated expression of the Dojo Master in dumbfounding. She had never seen Colossus that happy.
"Oh, Walin, it\'s you," Colossus merely said after he saw Elder Walin out of the corner of his eyes.
"Yeah…it\'s me…You didn\'t answer my question, Dojo Master…" Elder Walin spoke quietly, but she looked a little distressed. The Dojo Master had been requested to be present at today\'s Emergency Meeting because the agenda of the meeting was rather important. They had heard of a Valxian, who had been fighting the Keltia Heligav before another contestant joined the battle, killing the Heligav inside black fog, in the blink of an eye at that!
Fortunately, the Heligav didn\'t pin their suspicion on the Valxians about the murder of their strongest member. They could tell that something, or someone else had killed the Keltia Heligav. Nonetheless, they wanted the support of everyone, especially since it was the fault of those races that the City Brawl happened, in the first place!
"I won\'t attend the meeting. This is far more important!" The Dojo Master waved his hand off and retrieved a bunch of items to highlight the importance of his words!
A wide grin was plastered on his face as his eyes stared at the liquid that levitated in front of his eyes.
"What is that?" Elder Walin\'s interest was piqued as well.
"Something Nial left behind before leaving," Colossus gave a brief answer.
"Nial left? Why?" Elder Walin didn\'t know that Nial had left, which made her feel confused.
"That\'s none of our business…but this is our business," Colossus said while pointing at the liquid.
"Perfect-quality ability-removal liquid with hundreds of ability crystals that are perfect for Valxians…"
