[Dumb Fortune Opportunity Found!!]

[Initiating the Opportunity!]

Neil frowned slightly, he could feel something change but couldn’t exactly tell.

And it wouldn’t just be Neil, even the people around him would suffer the same.

“Master, Magnar’s evolution has already started after I got the core from your teacher.” Nemo informed, she noticed the frown and questioned:

“Is everything alright?”

“…Yeah, anyway it is time for training, I also made a bet with teacher yesterday.” Neil’s attention quickly shifted to the bet, if he could win he would get to taste her blood.

After a look around, he found her seated on the wooden chair, appearing as breathtakingly gorgeous as ever.

“Walker, will you be able to keep up after such a long rest?” Cinthia rose to her feet, she was more aware of the faint changes than Neil as she too frowned.

’Something is not right, or is it just my imagination?’ she wondered as even her intelligence was affected.

“Heh we will see about that teacher, shall we get started then?” Neil smiled as the tattoos on his arms glowed.

Then the dual blades attached with the chains appeared in his hand, the sight surprised the snake Queen.

“Quite the weapons you got there, hmm why is your aura already similar to someone at the 4th Origin?” she muttered, but didn’t question much.

Everyone has their own secret, and she didn’t want to make him feel uncomfortable.

“Yeah they are good, I want to test them out.”

The two chains and the blades glowed dangerously, the temperature of the space shifting.

“Come at me then, show me just how much you have grown. After seeing your strength, I will start teaching you about this 3rd Origin.”

Though Neil didn’t really plan to go all out, neither was he going to use his phantom phases or use his soul space skills.

Aside from that…

[Agility Lock Activated!]

[Agility Lock Target Selected!]

[Sonic Activated!]

A mental shock suddenly hit Cinthia, it wasn’t much but for a second her body froze.

The Queen was greatly shocked that his skill actually worked on her, Neil pounced forward with explosive strength.

CLANG

He threw out the two chains which wrapped around Cinthia’s body in an instant, and a whirlwind of phenomena started in her body.

Her movements, her mana, even her thinking were slowed down thanks to Frost, as extreme cold seeped into her body.

Even the ability to activate any skill was frozen.

While Inferno made her blood and internal organs burn, her frozen mana was rapidly burning, as the extreme heat started to attack her from inside.

Normally one would think that the two chains would cancel each other’s effects but it was the exact opposite.

A part of her body was extremely cold while the other was really hot, it made her situation worse.

Of course with her strength, Cinthia could easily break free but she was interested in seeing their effects.

WHOOSH

While she appeared dazed, Neil flashed before her, slashing at her neck with the spear.

But even without looking, Cinthia easily dodged the spear.

She applied some force, as the chains were forcefully pushed off but it shocked her that she wasn’t able to just break them.

’What sort of weapon is this even, it’s too powerful.’ She was really impressed by her student.

“Looks like I need to increase the force.” She smiled, now going less easy on him.

Taking a step forward, she launched a simple palm strike which would have killed Neil before.

CLANG

But Neil waved his arms, as the two chains formed a barrier before him, stopping the attack completely.

Following directly after was a swing of his blades which instantly appeared behind Cinthia, almost piercing her back.

But she just smiled, her figure turning into a blur as she appeared before Neil, her soft palm heading for his chest.

CLANG

This strike even managed to push the chains aside, her palm instantly coming in contact with his chest.

But all her hand managed to strike was empty air as Neil’s body burst into countless droplets.

This shocked Cinthia very much, she really froze this time, unable to believe her eyes.

’Apotheosis- no pseudo apotheosis? He can already do that, how is it even possible?’

How long had it even been since Neil became a lord? Not even half a year, yet here he was, his strength already at such a terrifying level.

It excited her even more, just what sort of monster was her student going to be.

Although the apotheosis state is very special, difficult to deal with and nearly immortal in battles, it too could be dealt with overwhelming strength.

Now, Cinthia was barely holding back at all, with tremendous force she started attacking him.

Neil was now quickly flashing between forms, while also launching attacks in between.

Now very few attacks could actually hit him, but it was still very difficult to fight against someone so powerful.

For some time now, Neil wouldn’t be able to get more 3rd Origin cores as there were no such beasts left in the Carceral Citadel.

It was because of the abundance of beasts there that helped Neil greatly, only links might help him there.

The battle turned more and more chaotic, Neil was exerting every bit of his strength but his stamina and essence were getting drained crazily.

If it was a normal 3rd Origin lord, they would already be lying on the floor.

But both his stamina and essence were way higher than any other person.

The realm was full of explosions as the ground got destroyed, it was a complete mess, but both of them were loving this battle.

The more Cinthia fought, the prouder she felt to have him as her student, she really wanted to show off.

Especially to that dragon empress, her arrogance made her lose such a wonderful student.

…

But unknown to both of them, strange messages kept flashing around them both.

But in the excitement of the battle, the two couldn’t notice anything.

After over four hours, Neil was completely exhausted with a lot of wounds all over his body.

But compared to before, his condition was way better, he was sitting instead of lying on the ground.

“I won!” Neil exclaimed, while panting heavily.

His wounds healed very quickly under his clothes, but with their low intelligence none noticed it.

All the deep wounds had healed within a minute, not even leaving marks, and it was all thanks to Neil absorbing that Phantom’s body.

Which not only greatly increased his healing speed but also gave him various resistances, which is why heat or cold weren’t affecting him.

“Yea, you haa sure did.” Cinthia rolled her eyes, it was such a great opportunity to have him shift.

But in her excitement she completely forgot about the bet.

“Then it’s time to rest and heal, shall we go to the bathtub?” Neil asked, slowly rising to his feet.

Cinthia nodded, but just as she was about to go support him, she received a notification from El.

“Queen, it is a message from the werewolf prince again, he is asking if you have made up your mind.”

“Looks like you can walk on your own now, go there first, I will join you in a minute.” Cinthia said, a frown on her face.
