Evolving My Mythic Legion With A Legendary Skill-Chapter 73: A Strong Opponent

[A/N: A big and important change, the ranking of the domains will now be called ’Order’ instead of Origin like the lords’ ranks, which was confusing.

To understand better, check the auxiliary chap 0 and I have changed it all in prev chaps too, damn, was tiring...]

"Why do you need spare ones?" Cinthia frowned, it seemed he had a diamond class domain.

"Those are not spare, I can’t explain it but I need three just for me." Neil said helplessly, but having a teacher like this was not bad.

Even if humans turn on him, he can always leave them.

He hoped she is trustworthy.

"Alright, I will try." Cinthia said, but getting domain cores, especially diamond class might not be easy.

A domain can only be attacked by lords of the same generation or younger. Older lords are not allowed to attack a newly evolved domain for at least six months.

For example, if Neil has just evolved his domain to 2nd Origin, its defences, structures, and overall strength would still be at the level of 1st Origin at the start.

So if powerful older lords were allowed to attack immediately, they could simply invade, crush his weak defences, and easily take a mythic-class core of 2nd Origin without real effort.

This is exactly why this protection rule exists, it is given to every lord after each domain evolution so they have time to stabilize and strengthen their new domain.

Lords of the same generation can still fight and attack one another, but the lords from previous generations are forbidden from attacking newer ones.

’Looks like I would have to ask the younger generations to get three diamond class cores.’ Cinthia thought, then nodded.

"I will try to find them. We can start our training from tomorrow, are you planning to continue fighting in the Silver Zone?" she questioned.

It would take some time for the two to open to each other and develop this new relation.

"Yes." Neil nodded, since he had defeated a lot of bronze class lords at once, a lot of time was saved.

"Alright, I will watch your battle for today and make your training plans." Cinthia was in a hurry, she had to report this to her parent and buy temporary freedom.

They exchanged a few more words and she couldn’t help but comment.

"It seems not all humans are indecent and trash."

Neil wasn’t surprised that she knew he is a human, both of them had obtained little information about each other through their conversation.

"Oh did something bad happen before?" he asked curiously.

Before speaking, Cinthia made the blur around her body disappear, and only now she became completely visible to him.

Her face and identity was still hidden, but he was a bit surprised by her voluptuous proportions, almost matching Ileana’s.

It seemed his teacher is a gorgeous matured lady.

"Yeah, I met a really vile person, he was worst of the worst, if I find him again I will torture him to death." Her eyes were burning with rage as she spoke, almost feeling that biting sensation on her lip.

"Oh I hope you find him..." Neil said and since they were connecting heart to heart, he decided to open up a bit too.

His teacher seemed like a nice person.

"Honestly, the women I meet have been the worst. My girlfriend left me because she looked down on me, then I met a madwoman who kille- almost killed me, I will grow stronger and beat her up."

He spoke, filled with the same anger.

"Hmm. If you persist, you will certainly defeat her in the future." She nodded, his talent seemed limitless.

Soon, the two disappeared. Cinthia reappeared on her seat while Neil appeared in the arena.

The people again began to chatter wildly, wondering who he chose as his teacher.

[Would you like to Silver class zone battles?]

The message popped before him again.

"Yes." Neil planned to test his strength against one opponent first.

And a figure wearing heavy armor and holding a big hammer appeared before him, it seemed his forte is strength.

"Oh Bronze?! This is the first." The person had a bulky body, and possessed a calm temperament.

"Oh my god, that... isn’t that Teddy, underling of one of the strongest fighter from previous year, he is from the werewolf race!

Sigh why did Dead Man Walking get matched with someone like that?"

"Yeah, I heard he is close to reaching the Gold class and works directly under one of the werewolf prince."

Neil listened to their conversation and looked at Teddy with a calm expression.

’This guy is way stronger than any normal silver class, Arlo and the others are no match for him at all.’ Neil thought, Teddy was indeed pretty close to gold class.

On the other hand, Teddy looked quite happy hearing all the comments, he looked as if he himself is a prince.

"Accept defeat, I don’t like bullying the weak." He said, putting the hammer over his shoulder.

’This will be interesting. Walker, show me all you have got.’ Cinthia was sure this will be enough to test Neil’s limit.

"Wow, I didn’t know werewolves fight their battles in this manner, now am I supposed to retort with a verbal attack too?"

Neil said, he wanted to see if Teddy could really remain calm.

"You have got quite the tongue, huh. Well, disciplining juniors is my favourite activity, your luck or connections aren’t going to help you here kid." He said, with an arrogant look.

’So he doesn’t take insults well.’ Neil smiled, fighting hot headed people is easier.

But his strength is still very high, Neil would have to go all out to have a chance at defeating him.

’Right, I am yet to test the advancement in Aquamorph and Slimemorph, they should have grown along with me too.’ He thought, and felt excited.

This battle was going to be fun.

The crowd turned silent, all of Neil’s battles were just too exciting.

[The Battle Begins...]

Neil and Teddy remained still for a moment, both maintaining their stances.

[Agility Lock Activated!]

[Agility increased to x2 Temporarily!]

[Agility Lock Target Selected!]

Right away, Teddy felt the drastic changes, his agility was instantly reduced by nearly half.

He was surprised but wasn’t flustered.

Neil ran forward at full speed, and swung the blade with all his strength.

CLANG

Sparks flew in all directions as his blade left behind a faint mark on his armor, but didn’t manage to pierce through.

Teddy finally reacted, he let out a beast like roar and struck the ground with all his might, before charging towards Neil.

[Aquamorph Activated!]

A big wave of water suddenly rose before Neil and struck Teddy, though it wasn’t strong enough to slow him down.

But in the next moment the water actually transformed into a high viscosity liquid, sticking tightly all over his armor and hammer.

This definitely annoyed the arrogant werewolf.

A red glow appeared around his body, probably some skill and his body grew a bit, strength increasing quickly.

[Slimemorph Activated!]

Slimes as big as Teddy himself suddenly appeared all around Neil, all of them looking completely different.

"What sort of skills are those?" everyone watching was stunned, he used his skills for the first time.

Teddy charged forward like a bull, he wasn’t afraid of any attack as the slimes pounced at him all at once.

Neil tapped as a big pillar of thick liquid rose under his feet.
