Gacha Sovereign

169 End

"GHOST!" Alex screams at the top of his lungs.

"Hoho, Never thought that I finally see someone who managed to understand the meaning of my words." The ghost spoke. The way he spoke just now wasn\'t like someone scary. Instead, it was like someone easy going. But for Alex, it is still a ghost.

"It...It Spoke" Alex pointed out his sword toward the ghost.

"Hey brat, you are pretty rude, aren\'t you? This is a will that I leave behind before I died. I sealed it inside the monument, which I stored my technique. I\'m a bonafide, the founder of Heavenly Sword Sect, Azat." The ghost said proudly.

"Eh?" Alex was surprised by the ghost\'s words. "Founder?"

"You finally listen to me. That\'s right, I\'m the founder of Heavenly Sword Sect, Azat. I am the one who made this \'Seven Stars Cut\' technique. It\'s true, I never good at explaining. And only you who managed to understand it after a thousand years."

"Don\'t say it like that. You made me like I\'m the same as you. At least, I can explain it in a better way!" Alex immediately replies.

"Hoho, I\'m just too happy to see someone managed to understand me." Azat laughed.

"Why don\'t you appear like this to other people, then teach them step by step?"

"I\'m afraid it wasn\'t possible. I made this wooden doll appeared when someone finally made its way toward the essence of this Sword Art. It\'s proven when it appeared just after you think about a different way, and fortunately, it is also the right way. I will be out of the wooden doll after you defeat the doll.

If you actually defeated it right after. I will appear and teach you the true essence. But it seems that I didn\'t need to do that troublesome thing. Haha, you brat. You really save me from trouble" He said jokingly.

Vein popped out on Alex\'s forehead. What did he mean just now? It is like Alex just did something pointless, he can just destroy the wooden doll and learn it easily from him. He swings his sword toward the ghost and split it into two. Azat obviously startled by it.

"You brat! I didn\'t say it earlier. But you are pretty rude. I will be dead if I\'m still alive." He said cheekily.

Alex raised his sword again and swung it toward him again. But he dodges it easily. He continues slashing him, but Azat dodges them one by one.

"Hehe, you brat. You can\'t hit me. Look at this, Ghost Spin. Ghost Maneuver" He mocks Alex while dodging his attack one by one. After a while, his expression becomes solemn, "All right. Let\'s get back serious."

"Fine, you finally act according to your age" Alex said, frustrated.

"This is only a wisp of soul that I sealed when I\'m in my death door. I didn\'t have much time left. When I sealed this soul, it can have the cultivation of Peak Martial Lord. But after a thousand years, It only has the strength of 6-Star Martial Master."

Alex was surprised by it. According to his master, Maxwell. For someone who is in death door to seal its own soul and escape from the cycle of reincarnation is a taboo. The moment the soul lost all of its energy, it will be extinguished and won\'t be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

"I made this Heavenly Sword Sect along with my friends in Journey. We used to be a mercenary, taking jobs here and there. Finally, we felt tired and decided to make a place to spend our time. That is Heavenly Sword Sect. This is like our home and also our kid. And I decided to do this.

Finally, without much time left, I can meet a kid with boundless talent. Comprehension Speed, Sword Intent, Spear Intent, and you can even use Spear Intent in your sword. I want you to inherit the sect master position, but this position will only waste your talent. So I won\'t do that. I won\'t question your motive joining this sect.

This is only a selfish request of mine. If the Heavenly Sword Sect is in peril, I would like you to give a helping hand. For the payment, I will use this remaining soul. You can absorb this soul remaining energy, and because this is only your consciousness, it will be very beneficial to your Mental Energy. Please" Azat bowed his head.

Alex didn\'t know what to do. "As you said, I won\'t be in here for the whole time. This is not my final destination. I\'m afraid that I will also make many enemies and won\'t have any time to come back here. But if you don\'t mind all of that. I will go back when I have the time, and if at that time there is some trouble in the sect. I will help them. How about that?"

"I\'m fine with it." Azat said solemnly. "Please take care of this sect in the future"

Alex didn\'t say anything, he just nodded his head. Azat started glowing before finally disappeared. "I wish you luck on your journey."

"This Junior, Alexander Sirius, See Senior off" Alex bowed.

When Azat disappeared, all of his energy condensed to a single pill. It falls on Alex\'s hand. The Sect Founder has gone, his soul is extinguished. But in his last moment, he found some peace. Alex didn\'t know any tradition to the deceased in this world. He just bowed to him to show his respect toward Azat.

After that, he swallowed the pill and refined it on his body.

The next day, Alex opened his eyes. He felt that his consciousness get stronger, along with his senses. He needs to get used to his senses. Alex took all the time he needs to get used to it before the space slowly crumbled, and he is back to reality.

The fifty people who are challenging the sword monument started to wake up one by one. After they woke up, the test finally ended.

"The third test finally finished. There is the last thing you need to do. You need to use the art you learned in these three days. As you might already know, we let an inner or core disciple to have a promising disciple under their tutelage. It is also to let you grow even faster. Let us welcome the inner and core disciples" Elder Dolf said.

There are around thirty people that suddenly appeared. Three of them suddenly come toward them. One of them is a blonde young man, his face is kind and full of gentleness, but there is something behind that gentle face. The other one is a silver-haired man. His face is filled with a fierceness that even others might feel it easily. The last is a pretty female. She has long blue hair, slender eyebrows, shapely figure, glossy skin.

"Ah, Brother!"

"Cousin"

"Elder Sister!"

Evelyn and Lena approached the blonde man. Nakagawa Hikotaka approached the fierce man, Alex is surprised to see him here. He forgot about his existence this whole time. When Alex just about to see the last one. Kenshin grabs his hand and drags him forward.

"Kenshin, you are very good. As expected of my brother" She said with a smile.

"Hehe, That\'s right, Elder Sister. This is my brother that I told you last time" Kenshin introduced Alex.

When they saw each other, they were shocked and can\'t help but blurt out.

"Franklin!"

"Elisa!"

"Franklin? Elisa? What are you saying? This is my elder sister, Himura Minami. And this is my sword brother, Alexander Sirius" Kenshin was still clueless, he innocently introduced each other.

"What is Franklin. How dare you trick me!" Himura Minami is angry.

"What about you? Elisa? Heh...You dare to trick me for my pill" Alex snorted.

"I thought you are innocent. It seems you dare to trick me about that too!"

"It\'s better than someone who ordered her nephew to call her with \'Elder Sister\'. Let me guess, the reason for it because it might make you look old, heh...\'Elder Sister."

"You want a bout? I will take you on." She said while looking down on him

"Not like I scared of you!" Alex snorted

"Grr!"

"Oh, right. Since you are a new recruit. Then be grateful, since I will let you under my tutelage. You can give me some pills to help my cultivation from time to time as a thanks."

"I don\'t need that! I can train by myself."

"It\'s not your choice. The Seventh Elder and even the Sect Master has already agreed to it. You can\'t refuse. They told me the reason, well I don\'t understand it. They said you couldn\'t have a Teacher or a Master. But you still can have a mentor." She said cheekily.

"What! That old fox!" Alex finally found the conspiracy.

"What Old Fox? Don\'t be rude to your elder!" She was angry.

"That\'s right. I can\'t be rude toward the elder. I\'m sorry, Aunt Himura" Alex mock her in the form of apologies.

"I\'m going to teach you manners. You brat!" A vein popped on her head, she was thoroughly angered by Alex.

"Hoh, you show me your old age when you call me a brat" Alex said cheekily.

"You!" She gritted her teeth.

"Ahem! I\'m glad that you have known about each other. But please be mindful of others" The third elder finally step in.

Since the third elder step in, they can only let it go for now. Both of them snorted. "Hmph!"

Kenshin didn\'t know what to do except scratching his cheek, embarrassed.

"Let\'s go with the last part of the test. You can show your progress to others. Who wants to start first?" Elder Dolf asked.

"Hikotaka, since I\'m going to take you in. Show them your progress, don\'t let me lose face." The Fierce man said.

"Yes, Cousin" Nakagawa Hikotaka nodded. He stepped forward. "I\'m first."

Hikotaka looked at the disciples that challenged the Stone Monument. He smiled confidently. He raised his hand and used \'Seven Stars Cut\'.

A sword wave flying toward the nearby boulder and crashed it to piece. The others observed the sword wave, Nakagawa Ryuu, Hikotaka cousin nodded satisfied, and Elder Dolf announced the result. "Umu, You have managed to form two layers Seven Stars Cut. You got big potential."

(AN: I will use \'7 layers\' than \'7 sword waves\' to make it easier. After all, the move itself is a sword wave. Ah, I love sword wave)

"Thank you, Third Elder." Even though he is thanking him, others still can see the complacent and smug tone in his voice.

"He is only managed to form two layers and already so smug. He should be ashamed." Himura Minami snorted.

"Himura Minami, watch your mouth. You know exactly how much talent for those who managed to use two layers \'Seven Stars Cut\' in this beginning. Even you too only managed to form two layers at the beginning" Nakagawa Ryuu retorted her.

"I have said. My younger brother is far superior to me. Comparing him against your brother, it is an insult." She said proudly. Whenever the talk about Kenshin appeared, she will be the one who rectifies and glorifies him.

"Then, I really want to see how much he can form. Since you said he is more talented than my brother, so I\'m sure that at least he can form two layers, right?" Nakagawa Ryuu said with a mocking tone.

"Of course, two layers are too easy for him." She snorted. She looked at Kenshin. "Go, younger brother. Slap his face for me."

"Elder Sister... Don\'t put much hope to me" Kenshin smiled wryly. He sighed...Disappointing her is not an option at this point. Since she believes in him. He also needs to perform to his best.

"Look, your younger brother is not confident. He is only a talent in your mouth. In reality, he is nothing more than an untalented person." Ryuu mocked her.

Kenshin ignored and closed his eyes. He focuses all of his attention toward his sword as his sword started glowing.

\'Seven Stars Cut\'

Another Sword Wave flew toward another rock. This time, this Sword Wave shocked everyone. Because they can see in this Sword wave, it was formed by four layers. The impact is far more powerful than Hikotaka\'s. Kenshin is panting after using this move.

He can do something like this inside the monument. If not because of the limitation cultivation stage, he is sure that he can use five layers Seven Stars Cut. His talent is becoming more apparent after he got a Katana. Alex looked at him mysteriously, it seems that he is planning to do something.
