Chapter 202 Please, Bestow This Technique Upon Me!

"Before we start, I would like to ask you two questions," Arthas said as he gazed at the boy in front of him. "You said that the other half of my Medallion is in Drada City, correct?"

"If my guess is right, then yes," Thirteen replied. "I could be wrong though, but that would mean that the other half of your medallion was taken somewhere else. But, if I were Gael, I would definitely keep it somewhere close to me to ensure its safety."

"My second question. Do you know how to activate the complete medallion?"

"Yes. But there are a lot of preparations that must be made beforehand. It will be our key to winning this war against the Majin Prince."

Arthas nodded. "Fine. I'll give you one chance to prove to me that you are telling the truth. I will go to Drada City with you."

"I, too, will go," Netero commented. "I can't believe Gael is behind such madness. I refuse to believe it until I see the proof with my own eyes."

Thirteen eyed his two guests before sighing deeply.

"Okay. We leave in two days time," Thirteen stated. "Something came up, so I need to make some preparations in advance. It will be best if we move in a small group. So, how about just the three of us going to Drada City? Having more will just attract suspicion to our group."

"That's fine with me." Arthas nodded.

"Good. Then we meet here in two days. Make sure that both of you wear proper disguises."

"Understood."

After that brief discussion, Arthas and Netero both left to make their preparations.

Thirteen, on the other hand, called Cristopher to his room and ordered Giga Chad and Brutus to guard the door.

"Young Master, why did you call for me?" Cristopher asked with curiosity.

"I called you here to give you a reminder and a gift," Thirteen replied. "Cristopher, I already said that you are my right-hand man. Don't copy Colbert and turn into a bootlicker like him. There are things that only he can do, and things that only you can do.

"So whatever happens, don't become jealous of him. I trust you more than him. Also, I will never throw you away. Do you understand?"

Thirteen was the System of Cannon Fodders, so he understood more than anything else that some conflicts and wars were caused by misunderstandings.

Because of this, he wanted to be frank with Cristopher so that the chubby boy wouldn't have to worry that he was about to be thrown away.

"Yes, Young Master," Cristopher replied, feeling relieved that Thirteen had made their relationship clear. "I'm sorry for being weak-hearted."

"It's fine," Thirteen replied. "But, remember this. What I'm going to do next must be kept a secret from the others. I will make you inherit one of the peak Gold-Grade Techniques of our Leventis Family Main Branch. This will help you become stronger, so make sure to carry this knowledge to the grave."

Cristopher was shocked after hearing that he would be given a peak Gold-Grade Martial Technique.

All Gold-Grade Martial Techniques were the pinnacle techniques of the Human race. Having one was enough to ensure that a Family would become a powerhouse, which was why some families kept their techniques as a hidden treasure.

"Young Master, this is very precious!" Cristopher's face almost lost all color from both fright and excitement. "I can't accept this!"

"Oh? Then I guess I'll just give it to Colbert then." Thirteen nodded.

"Um, I change my mind, Young Master," Cristopher replied with a determined expression on his face. "Please, bestow this technique upon me!"

Thirteen chuckled internally because he knew that using Colbert's name would rile up Cristopher's stubbornness.

Right now, he didn't trust Colbert enough to give him a Divine Technique, and what he told Cristopher just now was a mere bluff.

After asking Cristopher to take his shirt off, Thirteen scribbled the runes on his body, using the marker pen that he took from his house when he returned to Pangea.

Paven, who was the City Lord of Parania City, didn't hesitate to give Zion all the Jinn and Beast Cores he could carry inside his storage ring.

With the provided resources, he could impart his Divine Techniques to the people and monsters who would play a vital role in their fight against the Majin Prince.

Thirteen planned to give Cristopher two Divine-Ranked Martial Techniques.

The first one was the same skill he had, which was Cheap Shot Savant.

He wanted Cristopher to not engage the enemy in close combat because he didn't have any talent in it.

Having this Martial Technique would ensure that the chubby boy would be able to hit his targets from a distance, keeping himself safe.

The second Martial Technique was a Movement Technique called Triathlon Finisher.

It may sound funny, but this is truly a Divine Martial Technique that was created in a world where racing was the most popular sport.

This movement Technique only focused on three things, and that was running, swimming, and riding, as fast as possible.

Just like the name implied, it covered three movement techniques in one!

It would allow Cristopher to run very fast on land, swim very fast in water, and empower his mount to run, fly, and swim faster.

His original plan was to give Cristopher the Road Runner Martial Technique, which would make him unmatched when it came to running on land.

With that Martial Technique, no one would be able to outrun Cristopher once he mastered it.

But as the name suggested, the said Martial Technique had a limitation.

It could only be used on land, making it inflexible.

With the Triathlon Finisher Movement Technique, all of Cristopher's bases would be covered whether it by land, sea, or air.

The only downside was that its speed was only half of the Road Runner Martial Technique. However, Thirteen believed that it was more than enough to allow Cristopher to survive any danger that would target him.

With these two techniques, he was certain that whoever Cristopher fought against would go mad with anger. Employing the hit-and-run tactic, he could strike his enemies from a distance, run away, then strike them again.

It was truly a dastardly strategy, which would make his right-

hand-man peerless in the future.

It took Thirteen two hours to transfer the two techniques to Cristopher, leaving him drained afterward.

Thirteen then slept for four hours, ate dinner, and proceeded to transfer a Divine Technique to Tiona.

The reason why Laplace Demon and The One hesitated to allow Thirteen to bestow this power to Tiona was due to her nature.

The Divine Technique, Predation, would allow the Domini Mortis to learn one skill from another creature after she ate it.

However, The One made a condition that Tiona would only be able to store 10 Skills at a time. If she wanted to add something else, she would have to dispose of a skill to make room for another.

Thirteen was fine with this since he knew that adding more would become too much of a burden for the Black Snake, who would remain a Rank 1 Monster for life.

However, he was confident that if she got the right set of skills, she would become a threat to anyone whose Ranks were higher than her.

"Bear with it, Tiona," Thirteen said softly as he looked at the writhing snake, who was absorbing the power of Predation.

Unlike the Martial Techniques that he bestowed upon his family and Cristopher, Predation required to change Tiona's body to a cellular level, rearranging her genetics so that she could cope with her new ability.

Tiona hissed in discomfort as she endured the pain.

She knew that her Master was doing this for her own good, so despite the pain, she persevered till the very end.

An hour later, Thirteen carried the unconscious snake to the bed, allowing her to rest comfortably.

Although Tiona's eyes were open, she remained motionless, forgetting to even coil up like she usually did.

"When you wake up, you will become the strongest Domini Mortis in the world," Thirteen muttered. "You will also play a crucial role in the defeat of the Diabolical Hyena."

The seven-year-old was already planning to feed a portion of the Rank 6 Overlord to Tiona.

As long as she gained one of its abilities, then they would profit greatly in their collaboration with the Purple-Furred Honey Badger, whom he planned to visit after his mission in Drada City was finished.

"One step at a time," Thirteen said softly as he laid beside the unconscious snake on the bed, lightly placing his hand over her body. "Good night, Tiona."

Thirteen fell asleep immediately because he was truly exhausted from imparting Divine Abilities to his two loyal subordinates.

Tomorrow, he planned to give Bruno the Hammer for All Seasons, and Taiga the skill, Golden Emperor.

He would be leaving Gronar City with Arthas and Netero, so he planned to finish this task before he handled the traitor of the Barbarian Race.
