Gacha Sovereign Chapter 253: A Promise

Chapter 253 A Promise

It wasn't only those two who left the white building and searched around.

In a place around the white building, the group of Southern Kingdom was completing their quest.

"Hmm... where are those two? Did they die? If not, why didn't they come here?" Eric suddenly noticed. It was already ten days, but they hadn't caught up with them even once.

"They might have died," The princess said.

"They might have fled or joined another group," The captain said.

"..." Eric was pondering before he mumbled, "Or they found the entrance of this building?"

"Haha... don't joke. Putri is a fool who needs to take care of a brat."

"But, that brat said he was going to breakthrough... The timing was weird. Why did he suddenly want to breakthrough..."

"Maybe, he really wanted to breakthrough."

"What if... he found the entrance and because he didn't like us, he wanted us to go first?"

"Don't... jo-" The princess couldn't finish her words.

"Let's go back," Eric didn't care about the mission around the building anymore. He immediately flew away from that place and went to Alex's previous location.

The princess and the captain also followed him. "The rest of you need to continue the quest."

Not long after, when they arrived at Alex's previous location. They also found the corpses of the people from the Zhou Kingdom, especially the second prince's corpse.

After that, they found a green array and immediately realized, 'That's it!'

"D*mn, that brat tricked us!" Eric shouted.

The princess and the captain were also furious about this. All of them immediately went inside the array and found a pa.s.sage underground.

They were convinced this was the pa.s.sage to the white building. They looked at each other and rushed through the pa.s.sage.

...

Alex and the rest had recovered their Spiritual Energy. Alex said, "Let's go."

They nodded.

Alex looked at the big white door and pushed it open. He had looked at it with his Spirit Eyes. There was no sign of monsters inside. Even so, they walked carefully.

They walked in another pa.s.sage. The whole interior was white.

After three minutes of walking, they found themself in a hall. This hall had six entrances, including the one they came just now.

In the center of this place, there were stairs to the second floor. Alex was sure that these six entrances symbolized the six underground pa.s.sages. Then, the only way forward was to upstairs.

Alex and co started moving toward upstairs. Finally, when they reached the second floor. They were shocked.

They could see a huge botanical garden. Alex looked at the garden and found something that piqued his interest. He found a white flower. This flower was called White Eye Lotus. As its name implied, it was good for the eyes.

In fact, Alex really needed this flower if he wanted to make his Spirit Eyes stronger. When he wanted to pluck the flower, after confirming it was safe to pluck the flower, Putri shouted.

"Look..." Putri noticed something and pointed her finger.

Alex and the rest looked at the direction she pointed at. They found a young man in his thirties. He had long red hair, and he wore a gardener 's clothes.

Alex activated his Spirit Eyes. When Alex checked him, he was surprised to see that it was the same case as the founder of Heavenly Sword Sect. The man in front of them was a ghos..., Ahem, Spiritual Being.

"Umm(?)" The man finally noticed their presence.

"Oh, finally, After waiting for so long, I have visitors," he said. Then, he went to Alex and co. His clothes suddenly changed from a gardener's clothes to fancy red clothes.

"Welcome to my abode. I have been waiting for people who won't be enticed by small gains. Surely, I have been waiting for too long. Just look around you.

"I separated my soul before I died and sealed it inside this place. Then, because I am too bored since I couldn't cultivate again because I have died. That's why I planted this entire garden with medicinal herbs.

"You can imagine how long I have waited for this day to come by. I am wondering why people love those small gains around the building I built. If they kept searching around, they should be able to find the pa.s.sages. After all, there are six pa.s.sages in this entire realm.

"Since you have come, follow me. Let me explain this realm. Oh, right. I almost forgot. My name is Zwaka, so nice to meet you," the man said while walking toward a door to another room.

Alex and Putri looked at each other and nodded. They followed the man carefully.

They arrived in a huge looking throne room. But instead of a throne, there was a coffin.

"I am Zwaka, a rank 6 s.p.a.ce element array master. I feel the boy is compatible to receive my inheritance. So, boy, wors.h.i.+p me as your master."

"..." Alex didn't say anything. In fact, he wasn't even interested in it.

"Hurry up."

"No, I don't want to. I already have a Master." Alex rejected him.

He was surprised to see he was rejected by Alex. After all, he was an Array Master. Their existence was even more prestigious than Alchemist or Forging Master. "Boy, are you stupid? How can your master be compared to me, in this continent who only have a low Martial King."

Alex looked at Putri first. He made a Sound Insulation Array. The array only covered Alex and Zwaka.

Zwaka was even more surprised to see that Alex was an Array master.

"I never thought you were an array master."

"How can my Master be compared to you!" Alex snorted. Of course, in this array, only he and Zwaka could hear their talk. Putri tilted her hand, confused. She didn't know what Alex was talking about inside. Anna and Fabio stopped her from finding out.

"You are not even a monarch, even less a saint," Alex said.

"What! What do you mean! I am a Martial Emperor. In this continent, I am the number one powerhouse if I am alive."

"Yes, it is restricted only in this continent," Alex shrugged his shoulder.

"You, you are not from this continent?"

"..." Alex didn't say anything.

"Monarch... Saint... Don't tell me, your master is a Martial Saint from Heavenly Continent?"

"I learned Array and Alchemy from him," Alex bragged a bit. He didn't actually learn Alchemy from Maxwell, but in this case, he should brag it like he was the one who taught him.

"..." The ghost was speechless. If Alex's master was a Martial Saint and he also taught him about Alchemy and Array, then how can he compare with him?

"I am Zwaka from the Sacred Continent. Because I was a Rank 6 s.p.a.ce Element Array Master, I was adored by many. But many people also wanted to kill me.

"That day, I was surrounded by Devil Blood Sect. They wanted to enslave me, but I refused. Then, they finally decided to kill me, I tried to escape, but as expected of an evil sect.

"I escaped from Sacred Continent to Nilis Continent, even there, they continuously chased me. Finally, I reached this Wilow Continent. Even so, I will eventually die with my injury.

"If you promise to erase that evil sect. I will give you everything I have here. I don't mind how long it will take. I won't mind even if you reached a Martial Saint first before erasing that evil sect. As long as you wipe them out, I am fine with it.

"Here, I have the botanical garden that I personally take care of. Although I am not an Alchemist, I still have some knowledge about Medicinal Ingredients. I could proudly say that there are numerous high ranking medicinal ingredients.

"You can look at many rank 4, rank 5, or even rank 6 pills medicinal ingredients which only appeared on the auction. You couldn't buy those medicinal ingredients with the usual route from the Merchant Family.

"I also have many weapons at my disposal, from swords to maces. Anything you want, I gave many rank 3 or rank 4 weapons to those people, but I still have many collections of rank 5 or rank 6 weapons.

"There are many Spirit Stones and Spirit Gems inside my treasury which you can have. If I'm not wrong, they are equal to thirty million Spirit Stones. I locked this place with a barrier that had my s.p.a.ce Element inside it.

"It blocked Spiritual Energy from going outside. That way, this place was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with Spiritual Energy, and a few mines had been born beneath this place. The monsters were gathering the Spirit Stones and Spirit Gems. We just made a mutual relations.h.i.+p.

"And one last thing, I sealed my s.p.a.ce understanding inside a crystal. I can feel you also have a s.p.a.ce Element, which makes you a s.p.a.ce Element Array Master. I don't know how much you can understand from it, but you will definitely be satisfied with it.

"I am a righteous person, so I want to destroy the sect. But this is also my revenge as well as a personal request. That's why will you accept it?"

Alex contemplated. His offer was indeed tempting. But Sacred Continent was very far.

[Are you going to accept his request, Host?]

"What if I do?"

[I will generate a request. But you can choose to abandon the quest if you don't want to complete it anymore.]

"I am not someone like that. If I have promised them, I will definitely fulfill it," Alex said. And because of that, he needed to think about it first.

After thinking for a while, Alex ultimately said, "I agree."

"Thank you."

Zwaka requested something that absurd was because he thought Alex was telling the truth about his master. If his master were a Martial Saint, Alex would become Martial Saint later, or at least a Martial Monarch.

Zwaka placed his bet on Alex. If Alex turned out lying to him, he could only say that his eyes for people were bad.

He waved his hands to break the Sound Insulation Array.

Zwaka turned to Putri, Anna, as well as Fabio, and said, "Thank you for coming to this humble abode."

Zwaka then turned to Putri, "You have a wind element. I will give you a Wind Gem, which can improve your element and two Mid Heaven Tier wind Martial Arts. Since you are a spear user, I will also give you two Rank 4 spears, one rank 5 spear, and one rank 6 spear.

"Sadly, I'm not a weapon user, and you also don't know about array. So I can't give you a Spear Art or Array knowledge."

"Thank you very much, Senior," Putri thanked him.

"And another five million Spirit Stones," Alex added.

Zwaka and Putri were shocked when they heard that. To think Alex wanted to give her five million Spirit Stones. It was such a waste. But since he had said that. Zwaka said, "And five million Spirit Stones."

"Alex, you shouldn't..." Putri wanted to reject it. After all, she felt useless. Alex and co were the ones who successfully learned about the underground pa.s.sage. Even the ants that she killed couldn't be compared to Alex, who was a 5-Star Martial Grandmaster.

She felt like she was only tagging along with him and suddenly got so many things. The original thought about sharing what she got later with the others from the Southern Kingdom had gone.

Alex ignored him as Zwaka made an array. A s.p.a.ce ring suddenly appeared from that array, and he gave it to Putri.

"As for you two, I wi-"

"No need!" Anna immediately shouted. She and Fabio looked at him mysteriously. After they had reached a Martial Lord, they could send a thought transmission. It must be that.

Not long after that, Zwaka nodded, "Alright. I will just give it to him."

"I noticed that you seem to want the white flower badly, how about plucking it now? You can also pluck all of them while you are at it. I will prepare your reward in the meantime." Zwaka asked Alex.

Alex nodded. Putri followed him. Anna and Fabio also followed him in the meantime.

In the botanical garden, Alex could see many high ranking materials. But what he wanted the most was to level up his Spirit Eyes, which was very useful for him. He immediately plucked the White Eyes Lotus.

"Who are you!"

After he plucked the lotus, he heard a female voice. He turned his head and found two women had just come up from the stairs.

"Deep Frozen Ice Technique. Ice Phoenix."

Alex was shocked to see other people here, and she suddenly attacked him to boot.

"Fire Phoenix Art, First Stage. Phoenix Summoning."
