Omni-Mastery 396 Maybe He Ascended?

After all, not only sects were pooling their resources to make a team of mixed elite, planned exchanges of knowledge and apprentices were also going to take place. Every apprentice wondered to himself if they would be of the lucky early ones who would be able to gain a new skill from another completely foreign inheritance or even be extremely lucky to be chosen to join the elite team!

As for the new apprentice that had caused an uproar within the sect with his new tower records very recently, too little people cared about that topic at the moment.

Other than the few advanced apprentices who joined the demon war operation and took notice of his stellar performance, the rest barely saw him after the day he shocked everyone.

Rumors said that he may have been really chosen as a personal apprentice of the Sect Master and put into seclusion training under his guidance or some others said that he simply disappeared, either way, both theoretical conclusions didn't make him a hot topic that could survive the excitement brought by the upcoming changes.

However, at this moment, the root of the whole world-changing plan itself was discussing the exact same forgotten existence.

"So, what's the big matter…?"

The Supreme Sword asked with curiosity filling his mind, they had just finished the last meeting regarding the grand integration plan with most of the basic foundation having been fully agreed upon and were supposed to retreat to their own sects to prepare, but for some reason, the Elemental Blade has asked both him and the crazy woman to stay behind for a little discussion.

"Don't tell me you plan to do something crazy like s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g the plan you put yourself or something like that, it's I who does these kinds of things around here… also, where is that crazy young man, is he no longer going to hang around during our meetings?"

The Cult Master herself, who seemed to have started becoming more rational as of late, asked in quite a funny way as she smiled and looked around.

However, as she looked in the Elemental Blade's eyes, she seemed to have reached a quick and impulsive conclusion…

"...Is this about him?"

"Yes."

The Elemental Blade nodded even though he seemed lost in thought before taking out a small item and putting it on the table.

"This is…?"

The Supreme Sword questioned, obviously not understanding the reason as to why they would need to discuss the little information helper, and even more confused what that little thing had to do with that.

The little 'thingy' that was put in the table seemed to slightly s.h.i.+ne like a piece of gla.s.s in the not so well lit meeting room, it was colored in a clean faint blue, almost close to indigo, its shape could be considered peculiar on itself as well.

"Is that some sort of a… scale?"

The Cult Master quickly came to conclusion, though a bit hesitant as she couldn't identify what creature could be the source of such a beautiful scale, even though she was quite knowledgeable in regards to animals and monsters.

"This… is something that fell off a creature that jumped out of Lan's arm…"

"What kind of creature exactly…?"

"I know this might sound strange, but I believe it was a dragon."

As the Elemental Blade answered the Cult Master's question, he held the scale and started staring at it as if he was trying to ask it a question somehow…

He was still both fascinated and extremely curious about what happened yesterday when he took Lan to their 'Elemental Control' library, but he obviously didn't plan on telling the other faction heads about what he saw, he only discussed it with the two other masters from his generation, as they was a time when they called each other as 'friends' at one point in their life.

"You mean the scaly creatures that ruled the land at one point? The same dragons who are even more of a legend than demons are?"

"Like I said, I already know it sounds unbelievable, however, I myself checked the records and compared them to what I saw. Though it was only in its early infancy stage, that creature was most definitely a dragon, even Lan himself was covered in similar scales at one point!"

"You are telling me that the young guy was a dragon in disguise who could shoot baby dragons from his arms as he wishes to? I mean, I would be understanding enough if you explained the existence of dragons otherwise after we saw something as extinct as demons appear, but how you are seeing you met your 'dragons' is almost as crazy as her…"

The Supreme Sword held his head as he felt like there was a headache on its way to him, the situation was getting better as Elle finally started to get less crazy, yet Blade was the one who was starting to get crazy now?!

"Besides, where is he exactly now, why can't he just do a dragon shooting performance so that we can understand? Hmm?"

"That's the point that I was trying to get to, he somehow disappeared in front of me, possibly even from the whole domain. At one point he started floating as two giant dragon wings encased him as light shone behind him, it only took a second before that light spread to the wings and almost blinded me. When I opened my eyes once again, he was already gone."

"That's… could he possibly be ascending? I mean, he was definitely unnatural and super talented, I would understand if he was a totally different cla.s.s of a creature… it really would have been awesome to have a dragon as my personal apprentice!"

Before the Supreme Sword could respond, the Cult Master who was lost in thought and silent suddenly proposed a weird theory before being lost in a trance, she seemed to be fantasizing about the possibility she just mentioned…

"Really, you believe him this easily? That's completely illogical! Why would a dragon suddenly appear out of nowhere, enlighten us about the gravest danger that is soon to befall the domain before simply revealing his ident.i.ty and disappearing? Does this make sense to you?!"

"It doesn't, but that's exactly what I was thinking about, the way I saw how it happened, I could somehow tell that something unexpected caused all of that, Lan didn't seem like he was expecting what happened either, like it was just an accident or a coincidence… what if he didn't plan on revealing his ident.i.ty at all, nor plan on leaving early... what if he was just called back to be sent to another place to provide help like he did with us?"

"Uh…"

The Supreme Sword looked at his 'friend' Blade in the eyes as he could tell that he was seriously contemplating that possibility, in fact, he himself had somehow started to accept this unconsciously as he couldn't find a proper explanation to the existence of Lan who came from nowhere to reveal things that they had been blind about for years…

"Alright, let's say you are partially correct, what are you going to do about it now that he suddenly disappeared without a clue?"

"He did leave a clue… He left a message that he asked me to deliver for him, so I plan on doing just that and see what I can find from that, maybe the receiver could help remove some of the fog…"
