Birth of the Demonic Sword

Chapter 1306 1306. Chance

’It’s time to settle that matter,’ Noah thought as he summoned Snore.

The Blood Companion appeared and spat a red crystal in Noah’s hand. Second Prince’s core didn’t react to that change of environment, but Noah could sense that he wasn’t dead.

"Hey," Noah said as he pecked the crystal. "I’m about to leave. I need to decide what to do with you."

Second Prince remained unresponsive. The crystal didn’t show any sign of life, but that act couldn’t deceive Noah’s mind. Still, he didn’t think that the Royal was pretending to be dead.

"I will just break you then," Noah said and tightened his grasp.

Cracks opened on the crystal as soon as his fingers pressed on its smooth surface. Second Prince didn’t answer at the beginning, but a few screams eventually resounded from that item.

"Do you have anything you want to say?" Noah asked as he straightened his fingers.

"Breath" flowed from within the crystal and healed the cracks while a ragged breath echoed from the item. Second Prince sounded far away from his prime, but Noah didn’t mind that delay in his answer.

"You," Second Prince replied, "You kept me in complete darkness for more than a millennium! Why didn’t you just kill me?! I couldn’t even self-destruct inside that thing!"

A hint of surprise appeared on Noah’s face when he heard those angry reprimands. He had lost track of the passage of time while he was completing the preparations for his ascension, so he had never considered how Second Prince felt about his prison.

A thousand years weren’t a long time for powerhouses, but Second Prince had spent that period in the complete darkness, unable to do anything with the dark matter suppressing the crystal.

That was even worse than the Demons’ confinement. Second Prince had to spend that time completely alone and unaware of his warden’s intentions.

"I have been busy," Noah replied as a carefree smile appeared on his face.

"Busy with what?!" Second Prince shouted. "You had no opponents in the entire world! I’m sure you could have spared a few days among your many impending matters!"

"Enough, I’m tired of this already," Noah cut that topic short. "I don’t mind letting you leave, but killing you is also easy. Convince me to spare your life."

Noah had lost any interest in Second Prince, the Elbas family, and the lower plane’s environment. He couldn’t find any of that interesting when the Immortal Lands were so close.

Existences on the level of Second Prince had become nothing more than ants that he could ignore. It was the same mindset shown by King Elbas when he managed to enter the separate dimension. Gods were in their realm, and they couldn’t bother to waste time over lowly matters.

Second Prince didn’t answer. It went silent again, but Noah squeezed the crystal to force some reaction out of him.

"What do you want me to say?!" Second Prince asked while shouting. "I’ve lived in my Father’s shadow for most of my life, and I’ve become your entertainment for the rest of it. I’ve failed in the cultivation journey. Let me die already."

"Giving up in front of the chance to live is quite disappointing," Noah said as a sigh escaped his mouth. "I guess King Elbas’ experiment was a failure in the end."

The crystal began to vibrate when Second Prince heard those words, and his angry voice came out of the item again. "I’m more than a simple experiment. I’m an inscribed human. My potential overcomes what simple living beings can achieve."

Noah could sense traces of pride in Second Prince’s words. It seemed that he had accepted his peculiar status.

"This pride is worthless without ambition," Noah replied. "You talk about potential, but you have never fully expressed it. King Elbas and I are far stronger than you."

The crystal went silent again, but Noah knew that Second Prince was thinking about his words, so he gave him the time he needed.

Truth be told, Noah pitied Second Prince a bit. The Royal was by no means weak, but he had lived in the same era of two monsters.

The first was his creator, the mighty King Elbas. His Father was the best inscription master in the world who had also proven his might when he fought against the organizations.

The second was Noah, whose cultivation journey defied any logic. The stories of his adventures could leave anyone speechless, and his achievements were even more legendary.

Second Prince was slightly above the ordinary geniuses. He couldn’t compare himself to monsters, and his greatest advantage consisted of his peculiar status.

"Why would you even let me live?" Second Prince asked in a helpless tone.

Noah scratched the side of his head before giving an honest answer. "It would be a waste otherwise. I would have totally killed you if I were a heroic cultivator, but you can’t even touch me at your current level. You don’t have the power to be my enemy."

"Are you implying that my weakness has given me the chance to survive?" Second Prince asked as anger began to fill his words again.

"Yes," Noah replied bluntly.

Silence followed that exchange of words, but Second Prince soon gave in to his desire to live.

"I’ve helped you when the world was too frail to withstand your power." Second Prince said.

"It doesn’t count," Noah replied. "You mostly wanted to save yourself when you completed that formation."

"I can show you the way for the separate dimension of the Elbas family," Second Prince continued. "Anything you like will belong to you."

"I am a god," Noah replied without showing the slightest interest in the matter. "How can you offer me the creations of experts in the heroic ranks?"

"I can accompany you in the Immortal Lands!" Second Prince said as he changed approach. "I can grant you my expertise in exchange for a few materials."

"Your expertise is useless among divine materials," Noah replied. "You don’t even know if your inscriptions work up there. Moreover, I already have noisy companions."

Snore pretended to look away when Noah gave voice to those words. The Blood Companion couldn’t fully understand the human language, but it could sense that Noah wasn’t saying good things about it.

Then, Second Prince said something that stirred Noah’s interest.

"I can recreate the dimensional portal," Second Prince exclaimed. "I can give you the chance to meet your organization. I only need a few centuries, a millennium at best!"

"I won’t spend another day in this plane," Noah replied, "But you have earned your life back."

Noah placed his finger on the crystal, and a minute will fused with its surface. Second Prince could only accept that oath. He needed to rebuild the dimensional portal in less than a millennium, or he would die.

"I guess throwing you in the sea is fine," Noah said as he turned toward the separate dimension of the Elbas family."

"Completely fine," Second Prince replied, and Noah threw the crystal when he heard his answer.

The crystal flew for half of the plane before falling in the sea, right below the entrance of his separate dimension. Second Prince was now free, and the same went for Noah, who moved his attention to the sky.

It was time to leave.
