Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Caleb took a deep breath and decided in his heart. No matter what. This city is the place where his friends live. Andre, Luna, Clifford, Kidd, Kazuto, and that damned Rekka. Not to mention, Rozho took the effort to introduce him to his master and the old man helped him awaken his sword aura.

He wasn't the kind of ungrateful person. When someone did him a favor. He would pay them back double. Favor for favor and enmity to enmity. That was his motto in his first life as a killer. Not to mention, befriending or getting the favor of a Sword King is surely a win! Isn't it worth it?

The old man might even teach him a method to increase or make his comprehension of sword intent faster. Now, he was in the realm of Sword Disciple. The next realm was Swordsman and then Swordmaster.

To step into the next realm, he needs to be able to manipulate and shape his sword to any form he wants like it was an extension of his limbs. Although he doesn't currently know the conventional way to go about it and train it. He knew for sure that his high spiritual attribute would help him in the aspects of control, efficiency, and learning! The perks of spiritual attributes when it comes to training were an unexpected boon to him.

"So how do you go about acquiring energy source for the sword formations? Where should we even get them?"

Caleb's question silenced Rozho's master. Caleb didn't know if it was his illusion. He felt a vengeful aura from the old man's for a brief second thanks to his high spiritual attribute. He knew that it wasn't his illusion. If it was someone, they wouldn't even manage to feel such a fleeting moment.

With a sigh. Rozho's master whose Caleb still didn't know the name. Yes, right from the start even, when Rozho introduced him, he didn't even mention his name. The old man also didn't take the initiative to say his name.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

However, as an adult, he knew that there must be a reason for such a powerful personage to hide his identity. Evident from his mask. It could be said that the old man's goal might be against the interest of some people with status in the city. In simple terms, a conflict of interest. Rozho's master might be a nuance to the eyes of those certain people. Of course, Caleb didn't who those people are. His speculation will remain speculation.

"The energy sources are hidden by the ruling class. In the past, my masters tried to negotiate with them. We offered a fair deal. This energy source isn't anyone's property in the first place. Those energy sources contain special characteristics and they are the only energy that could run the sword formation. Electrical energy won't be able to run the sword formation. We tried various substitutes but no one worked..."

The old man stopped for a second to breathe.

"Those energy sources were used to fuel the entire sixth and seventh district. They could use electrical energy but they do not want to because those sources could last them for a hundred years and they can be used at every mechanical related."

'So it's because of their greed and personal interests? Can't blame them though. If it was me, I might have also considered such a thing. However, they are really quite short-sighted. Fifteen years it is? It seems I need to increase my strength as much as possible before the fourth coming arrives.'

Caleb rubbed his temples because of the massive information that he had received.

"If you help us. As a reward, I will teach you everything I know. From theory to experience I've learned in my journey. This will help you if you really want to go far in the way of the sword."

The old man sighed bitterly. "It's actually in a scroll of mine but it's not in me now. It was hidden in a secret location. That scroll is the inheritance passed down from master to master including my knowledge. If I'm not too old. It would have helped me to reach the legendary grandmaster realm. If talented enough, it could even help increase 45% the chances of reaching the mythical sword saint realm!"

Caleb couldn't help but gasp. 'Damn it! This old bastard is really trying to whisper in my ear. Tempt me like a devil...'

He would be stupid if he refused in the face of such a reward. After all, such knowledge would help him in the next world. He might not be able to reach the sword grandmaster in this world. But surely, after a lot of reincarnations coupled with the old man's inheritance. Sword Saint is a certainty no matter how slim the chances to reach it are! Find exclusive stories on empire

With glee, Caleb patted his chest confidently. Afraid that the old man would suddenly back out on his offer. "I'll gladly participate in this mission. For world peace..."

"..."

The old man and Rozho looked at each other for a while. Unable to say anything. World peace? Although that's essentially the objective. It sounds wrong to say it.

First of all, the City of Phenos isn't the entire world. The old man, unlike others, Rozho knew that other kingdoms existed outside. Rozho also knows of this fact because of his master. However, In Rozho's view... Johan was unaware of the existence of the kingdoms outside.

The old man could only force out a smile. "Didn't expect you to have such a sense of humor. It's really good to be young...

Well, I won't hold you two any longer. There are a lot of things on my plate right now and I just rushed here. Before that, I have some advice for you."

The old man stared at Caleb.

"I heard that you chose shadow path. Before the nobles and the royal family. The shadow path... It scares them. There's no doubt that they would see you as a threat once you reach Tier 6. The recipes of Tier 5 and 4 were also with them. As for the Tier 3 and 1. Just look for it at the shadow temple."

The old man vanished after under the stunned Rozho and Caleb.
