Chapter 455 - Evolution

Tang Shaoyang watched the young Prince relinquish the ownership of the Flaming Sword. The process was quite simple actually. He cut his own palm and let the blood dripped onto the sword. The Flaming Sword absorbed the blood and the Prince canceled the oath.

"With this, I relinquish the ownership of the Flaming Sword!" After that, the Flaming Sword lost its glow. Losing its glow, the sword looked so ordinary now.

Prince Kaiden handed the sword to Tang Shaoyang with his two hands, cautiously. His hands were trembling while his eyes turned while looking at the sword.

That was one of twelve of his kingdom's treasures. He just relinquished the ownership and handed it to the enemy, 'But my life is more important than a mere treasure.'

Tang Shaoyang reached the sword. The Flaming Sword was ownerless now. He tried to swing the sword and he furrowed. He then slashed the bed table and the sword bounced back instead of destroying the table.

Before Tang Shaoyang could ask, Prince Kaiden explained by himself, "The sword would be useless unless it bounded to the owner and only the owner of the sword could use the sword!"

"How are you bound with the sword?" Tang Shaoyang looked at the Prince while thinking about the sword user within his people. Lu An and Zhang Mengyao used a sword, but both lacked Magic Power to use the sword. If he gave the sword to them, they could not use the sword to its full potential.

'I also doubt Mengyao and Lu An want to change their weapons. Mengyao seems to be fond of her lance while Lu An does not want to change his sword. He loves his first sword, even if he gets a better sword, he gives the swords to his team member instead of changing his sword,' Tang Shaoyang thought of the potential people who would get this treasure.

'Ah, Wei Xi might like the sword… How could I forget about this guy?' Tang Shaoyang stored the sword in the inventory before he focused on the young Prince.

"I will not kill you or even resort to torture…" he paused for a moment while Prince Kaiden's body shuddered fiercely when he heard the word 'Torture', "… As long as you answer my question. I will ask and you will answer. Just answer what I ask you, understand?"

Prince Kaiden nodded his head profusely. There was no resistance from the prince.

"Good, this is the reward for being obedient," He took out a vial of healing potion and handed it toward the Prince, "This is a healing potion, it will heal your injuries so you will not suffer any pain."

Prince Kaiden's eyes brightened as he reached the healing potion. Of course, he was being cautious as he checked if the vial was truly a healing potion or a poison before he drank the potion.

When he found out it was a real potion, Prince Kaiden drank the potion in one gulp. The cooling sensation spread all over his body as it eased the pain on his joint and face that got repeatedly punched by the Demon.

There was one thing he learned from the short exchange. As long as he followed the man's words, he would not be mistreated.

"Good, what's your name?" He started with the basics even though he already knew the young prince's name by identifying the Flaming Sword.

"My name is Kaiden Timothy Kingsley." The young prince quickly answered.

"Where do you come from? Your world?"

"My world is called Lukan, I am the fourth prince of the Lionax Kingdom."

"So, how long has it been since the Game started in your world?" This was what he was curious about. Since their world could be connected, that meant Lukan had gone through the Game as well. He was curious about the age of that since the Game.

"204 years. The Game started 204 years ago." Prince Kaiden replied truthfully.

"204 years?" Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brows, "But how? How are you so weak?" He could not help but question this. How come they were still level 600s even after 204 years? This puzzled him.

"Because we are just a Minor Kingdom. The Lionax Kingdom is a minor kingdom located on a small continent called Durakan. We are a vassal of The Empire of Nasalis. My Ancestor is a noble of the empire and was sent to Durakan. Our family ended up establishing a kingdom under the Emperor's decree," Prince Kaiden explained.

"That does not answer my question," Tang Shaoyang raised his voice slightly, causing the young Prince to be flustered.

"No, I haven't finished it yet. From history, thirty years after the game, Lukan was invaded by the Underworld. Humanity united and fought for a hundred and twenty-one years against the undead and the demon from the underworld. We prevailed and managed to seal the gate which was connecting the two worlds. But humanity paid a huge price to win, a lot of Legend, Myth, and Demi-God died during the battle. The prolonged war against the Underworld caused humanity's power to decline. At least, that's what was written in history," Prince Kaiden summarized what happened to Lukan.

"Our Kingdom was also greatly affected. From my family, my great grandfather, and great-granduncle that survived the war," The young Prince let out a resigned sigh.

"Interesting…" Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice, "So thirty years later, my world will face the Underworld or maybe another force from another world."

"What about this Myth, Legend, and Demi-God?" He heard the foreign terms for the first time.

"You… don't know?" Prince Kaiden widened his eyes but then he realized something, "Ah, your world just recently underwent the Game, so no wonder you don't know. Myth, Legend, and Demi-God are human evolution.

After a human reaches level 1000, you will be given a quest to evolve by the system. If you complete the quest, you will be given a reward. It can be second class, bloodline, and more. The rank from the lowest is Epic, Ancient, Myth, Primordial, Legend, Demi-God, and God."
