System, max these techniques and fuse them.
He heard the notification as the techniques maxed out and fused.
[Host has gained skill: Spearhail Domain(Legendary)]
[Spearhail Dominion: The user drives their essence-infused spear into the ground, marking the area as a deadly zone. From above, spectral spears rain down on all enemies within.]
Fuse it with Mooncurrent Blade, he said as the chime rang.
[Host has gained skill: Moonpierce Blade Field(Legendary+)]
[Moonpierce Blade Field: drives aqua blade into the ground, releasing a flowing field of water energy. While the blade remains embedded, arcing water crescents and piercing spears rise and fall around the field, striking in rhythm with the user's thought. Each passing moment strengthens the strikes.]
This concludes my preparation for the duel, he said casually.
But I still can't believe that Sera made me unconscious for 3 days.
I guess I shouldn't have driven her to that extent, he thought.
Levi stepped out of bed calmly and left the room.
He stepped out and noticed that where he was coming from was actually his room.
What is going on here, he thought as he looked back into the room.
They were still there, the machines, the white paints, and the elegant design.
Why is my room like this? He muttered.
Young master, Mira curtsied as she walked closer to him.
Oh, good.
What happened here?
The master ordered us to remove the ancient designs and structure of the mansion and replace it with modern ones.
He said you will be the new master.
Hold on, just slow down.
Levi's mind was in disarray, the amount of information too much for him to process, but he heard one.
Did you just say I am the owner of this mansion, he asked, slightly confused.
Yes, master.
The house, the maids and everything in this house now belong to you.
What about my master? What happened to him?
He died on the battlefield, Mira said, her eyes slightly red.
He only sent a transmission to you, she said, then brought out a silver orb.
A silver glowing light covered the surface of the orb.
When Levi heard this, his eyes turned red.
Again, just when I thought I had a new family, the machina race snatches him.
Levi collected the orb and went into the room without talking to Mira.
Mira stood in front of the door calmly.
Then she heard a scream. Levi's burst into an uncontrollable tear.
Even she who wanted to pacify him, was terrified, so she stayed back patiently.
After an hour of grief, the tears finally stopped, and Levi cleaned his face.
No, this shouldn't break me.
It just gives me more reasons to destroy the machine race, he muttered.
He picked the orb and walked out of his room, only to see Alric, Mira and the 6 maids. Even Celene was there.
When they saw him, Anya was the first to greet him with a hug, then the other maids joined, except Yula and Alric.
Yula said sorry and left the place, but deep down, there was a flicker in her eyes.
Alric patted Levi on the back.
You are a strong boy. If you are sad about this, just grow strong enough to defeat the machine race.
Levi nodded. Thank you all.
The table is set. How about we continue our discussion over a meal? Elen said to lighten the mood.
They all nodded and went down the hallway, the mechanical light casting a beautiful glow over the house.
The maids walked, with Levi around them, but there was a new resolve in them.
To protect the young master.
