Solitary Sword Sovereign Part 2

It's Your Pleasure To Meet Me

Will was quite protective of his friends. Many a time, he had left them to their own devices, but he had the power to protect them and had every intention of using that power.

'There is no point in having all this power if I can't use it to protect my underlings.'

Thus Will decided to make his presence known at the moment Reinhardt had asked.

The moment he appeared, Alexa was gobsmacked because she had failed to notice Will arriving. Will had only been around level 50 when the empire had first contacted him; now, he was capable of arriving at a location without her noticing at level 99. Alexa was not sure how to feel about this.

'Could he really be Peerless?'

Will was a Supreme Candidate, but his loyalty to the empire had not yet been proven. He was also a suspect in the matter of Peerless Dao Master's identity. Thus his every action caught a lot of consideration. Now that he was exhibiting such skill at such a low level, Alexa started to feel extremely suspicious. Not only that, but Will's crew had experienced growth beyond what she knew them capable of.

She had seen Merlin and Woodsy use Intent and exhibit battle prowess that was far above what their talents were supposed to allow. The Dragonheart Empire had tested them to their limits countless times. As former Supreme Candidates, they had been heavily scrutinized and were under Alexa's jurisdiction. But now she had no idea how this had happened. Woodsy's ability to teach Intent and spells like Soul Chain Share had been the greatest shock of all.

'If the empire possessed someone this knowledgeable in Intent and capable of teaching it this well....'

Even Alexa herself had benefitted greatly from Woodsy's lectures. Her understanding of matters regarding theory and mental energy applications had more than doubled her strength. Hence Alexa could not help but ask herself a question.

'If I became this strong from listening, then how strong s Woodsy for knowing this information?'

As Alexa worried about how to handle this tricky situation, Will looked caringly at his crew.

'I have to give these guys a reason to trust in me.'

Then he shifted his gaze to the 8 cultivators ahead.

'And I have to give these guys a reason to fear me.'

...

Will spend a few minutes talking with his crew. Only Letty, Alice, Duke, Woodsy and Merlin were familiar with Will, while Achilles had only known him for a day.

Since Will had a lot of catching up to do, he decided to chat with his friends and give them a little update on his movements, completely disregarding who was watching.

Will and co's complete lack of interest in Reinhardt caused the latter to feel humiliated. Reinhardt and his companions looked as if they had just swallowed a mouthful of chilli. They were powerhouses that could move unhindered throughout the nearby regions. Only powerhouses above level 100 had the right to disregard their presence in such a manner.

Identification skills had already been used, and Will's level was revealed to the others. His identity was shown as Solitary Sword Sovereign, as one could replace their username with titles. This is what allowed users to hide their identities. Queen Abyss was actually a title that Letty had equipped to prevent her from being known. Her real name was her username, and Eridium had some fame; thus, she did not want to be discovered easily.

The Solitary Sword Sovereign Manual was not well known among weaker domains such as Lower Worlds because they never had those strong enough to even cultivate it. One not only had to have a disposition towards swordsmanship and solitary behaviour, but one also had to have supreme talent in the unorthodox and an aptitude for death attribute skills. One also had to have a preposterous amount of mental strength and be a Natural Born Sovereign to even bring out the full potential of the manual. It was not a manual hard to get, but it was hard to use.
