The Talentless Sect Master Chosen By The System Chapter 48: Chapter 48 The System And The Favour

Nightin knew that he could do nothing to help the system right now,all he could do right now is to get stronger. Even though the system hasn't explained its reason for a.s.sisting him,he believes that the system has no intentions to harm him. He didn't have any reason to back it up,it was purely his gut feeling and instinct. Even though the chances of the system wanting to cause him harm is higher through deductions, he's willing to trust it with his life as the bet.

Back in the system,a man who looked to be in his forties was alone by himself in a enclosed area. He was blocked off by a prismatic structure which glowed with colourful neon lights. The prismatic structure was made up of five colours.

Crimson red to represent the raging flame,burning off every single thing that comes into contact with it. As long as something brushes past it, it would be burned into ashes until they disperse into nothingness. Red here showing the strength and determination for war,yet showing great determination and pa.s.sionate love at the same time. A simple yet conflicting colour which holds many meanings.

Navy blue to represent the water which is the peaceful yet calming ocean,showing freedom and inspiration. It shows the desire of every living being to explore the world,even thought they may have hidden it deeply within themselves.

The bright green here represents the wind is flowing in the air throughout the world,the essential nature element for every human being including cultivators. It represents the world which is beaming with life as l.u.s.ter plants and flowers grow,yet a small fraction of it is actually corrupted by the word 'greed'.

The dark brown here represents the earth which we are stepping on now. Earth is all around us as it protects us just like our children. Earth being everywhere with us shows us the difficult duty and huge responsibility it has in protecting us; maintaining peace in this world to prevent chaos and destruction.

Last but not least we have white which represents the metal elements and every ore in this world. It brings about light and spirituality and is the colour that represents everything which is on the bright side of life.

The man who was trapped within sighed as he said "Three more months of boredom I guess."

Back in reality,Nightin was panting heavily as he barely stood up with his sword stabbed into the ground. Nightin wasn't just mentally fatigued but emotionally exhausted as well. Even though it might only a short the system leaving for awhile,it had helped him to understand that the world still has some true feelings. Even if the other party doesn't has any reason or benefit to gain through helping you,that individual might still do so.

Nightin slowly lifted his sword off the ground as he stood up resolutely,his sword kept to his side as he straightened his back. Determination could be seen in his eyes,his mentality right now is miles apart from just now. If he were to face the same illusion again,he would remain unfazed and break through it easily.

Nightin realised that the Samsara law he had cultivated right now,had no limits or signs of breakthroughs even though it got stronger. Despite the problem,he had no choice but to face it and find a solution in the far future.

As for his Life and Death law, he's currently only capable of increasing the recovery speed of his body and kill people easily without even flinching. If he had to compare,his comprehension for the Death law is much beneath that of his Life law.

Shortly after he realised this, the Life and Death sword separated away from each other into two divine swords, which means that he held three Divine laws right now.

Soon,Nightin began to realise that cracks were appearing on the magic array and spread around like spider webs. The next moment,a strong suction force from above forcibly dragged Nightin out from the magic array as he landed in front of Cordelia again the next moment.

Cordelia looked at him as she kept her staff and sat down on the chair at the counter,on the counter table was a drink which was deep red in colour and held a close resemblance to blood.

Nightin was about to thank Cordelia,only to realise that her face was pale white and void of colour. Her spirit energy was in complete disorder and her breathing was erratic. Her hair had turned a deeper shade of gray and it was obvious her body was lacking blood essence as well.

Nightin thought back to the blood like drink on the table and could only link it back to Cordelia who was leaning against the counter table right now as she struggled to keep her eyelids open.

Cordelia gave Nightin a weak smile and told him "Remember I say that you owe me a favour? Me requesting you to drink this cup would be the first step to repaying me."

Nightin didn't know what to say,his heart was in a mess. Again and again, people close to him always get implicated everytime he grows. Is there even any chance that he can get stronger without inflicting any harm or suffering to people around him?

Nightin closed his eyes as he tightened his fists,his veins could be seen clearly which amplifies the absolute effort he's going through now. It was a simple decision which could change his future and affect his decisions from now,yet he had made a promise to Cordelia. As a true man, there's no way he would go back on his promises, he'll never take back his decisions.

In a single shot,he took over the cup and swallowed all the blood in one shot without any hesitation,it tasted sweet yet bitter.

When Nightin swallowed the cup,Cordelia who was looking at him gave a weak smile and said "You should know about my body situation right now?"

Nightin nodded as he asked "Just what is it that you have to ask from me? Is it worth you giving up so much?"

Cordelia's weak smile gradually turned into despair as she said "After casting the magic array and losing so much blood essence,I only have a few moments left to live. My only request is that... you'll find the Undead Prince... and a.s.sist him in his conquest, also please tell him... that I'm... sorry..."

Before Nightin could answer,Cordelia had already vanished and what appeared in place of her was a s.h.i.+ning emerald.

The emerald was hexagonal and had six sharp pointed sides as it reflected off the lighting of this inn. Nightin picked the emerald up from the ground carefully before finding a proper jade casing to store it in. After that was done,he placed it within a safe area in the spatial ring of his.

Nightin decided that it's pointless to waste time in reminiscing about the system and Cordelia anymore. The best he could do right now is continue on the arduous journey of cultivation. Who knows,he might even find a method to revive Cordelia one day.

From this day onwards, Nightin vowed to himself "Towards my allies, I'll protect them at any cost and won't make them suffer anymore because of me. Towards my enemies, I'll never show any signs of kindness of hesitation, I can't give them any chance to harm my loved ones."
