{I have been going back into past chapters changing 2 of the skill duration times. Let me know if I need to change the times for heavens light and protected by heaven to 10 minutes instead of 2 minutes, because that's what I did for the chapter called The divine class. The new stats and skills from his rewards might seem overpowered to all of you, but I have to remind you that NPC's like Grandmaster Magician Wilmer has 14 billion health. In the face of levels like that the new damage output is extremely low. Thanks for reading!!}

{I will take Saturdays and Sundays off from writing Ancients World. I want to use this time to improve plot and edit my storybook. I am doing this to improve the quality of the story and make it better, I really hope this doesn't anger to many of you. This is something that will take the plot and characters to another level!}

Monrell is a person of strong character and even stronger techniques. Now that I have completed his trial I'm being rewarded. He wants to talk to me about something first though, this was never written in the forums so I have no idea what's about to happen. "I watched your battles with my disciples and I'm surprised you did so well, especially against Florian. You were exploiting all their weaknesses except for Florian's. Where did you learn all this information?" He doesn't know about the existence of the players and their unique presence. I could just lie and say I studied all of them before I got here. I have a better response though, one that he will like.

I take a breathe and release a deep and tired sigh as I rub the back of my head. "I knew Veven was like an impenetrable fortress, but his armor is imperfect in its design. I seen the opening in his armor after his first attack." Monrell looks at me with impressed features on his face. I continue telling my methods for everyone I faced. "Lady Vayra was the easiest out of the 3, she was being crippled by her disease and could no longer fight at the level she once had." Monrell looks down in slight shame at the mention of Vayra, she really did turn out wrong. She also paid the price for her actions with the diseases she got. "Florian was the hardest, I could notice a blind spot produced by his armor. I couldn't exploit it without getting hit by that powerful blade. Turned out I had nothing to worry about, one of my perks was strong enough to negate the ability of the blade. That allowed me to attack without worry." He laughs at my explanation of how I defeated Florian. Most people who took the trials wouldn't get past Veven.

I did something that never happened before and completed one of most difficult known trials of Ancients World on my first try. I am sure there are ones that are even harder out there, but they have yet to be discovered. He finishes laughing and turns to me. "I would have offered you a legendary class, but you have one that is much better than what I can offer. Mind if I ask who you are and what your class is?" He must want a reason to explain my incredible powers and out of the normal strength for someone my age. I can't see a reason not to tell him, he is not alive anymore and this will be the last time a fragment of his consciousness stays on this realm.

I look off into the distance and prepare my answer. "I'm half angel. My father is Arch-Angel Michael, my class is called The Son of Arch-Angel Michael. I have a human mother that goes by Amelia Zern. I go by Slayer Zern, I didn't know about my bloodline or my powers till I met her. I saved her from some thugs while walking by her orphanage. My life changed after that day." I stick to the lore of the class and play the role of Michaels son. I turn my head back and look at the slightly shocked look of Monrell.

He might be having the same thoughts as others of high positions do. Its not everyday that you meet someone of my lineage and family. "That answers my question about your power. I think you will surpass everything I can think of in a few years time. So that means I can entrust you with something." I don't know what is happening right now. The forum said that you would receive the legendary sword after you left the trial area so that means this must have never happened to Pesticide when he completed this. "I want to leave my technique legacy to you. Florian was always a great student, but he was to much like me. I wanted someone different to have my final gift to this world I love so much." Wow, an actual technique legacy. These are the most sought skills from every player that plays this game.

Technique legacies are when people or creatures of incredible power give you knowledge about their most infamous and powerful skills. These shaped the top spots players occupied in the world, I was already certain I would be within the top players. This pretty much guarantees I am the strongest, I'm glad I get a choice on which the players and NPC's see between my player name or my title. "I would be honored to have your technique legacy Monrell. However, I must admit I do feel shame taking this. Feels like I am taking more power when I already have enough." This feeling is true too, sometimes you cant help the feeling of wrongness when you get something you don't think you deserve. I suddenly get a system notification that is kind of funny and unexpected, they really are watching me.

[The Almighty Father and your father are proud of your humility and apprehension to take power]

[+15,000 reputation with all beings in Overworld]

I chuckle to myself as I read the message, Monrell looks at me a little confused. I open my player tab and make it visible to him and I show it to him. He sees the message and has a different reaction than I did. He gives a subtle grin and closes his eyes as he leans back, I guess most who are as strong as him would react like that. He gets his bearings straight and begins to talk again. "I don't have much time left so I will impart my techniques to you. They will help you in your journey and whatever you may face." He puts his hands together and begins creating a ball of blue and white light. Once he is done I get a system notification again.

[Sword Saint Monrell wishes to impart his teachings upon you]

[Do you wish to accept his technique legacy? Y/N]

I think yes and the ball explodes in brilliant light. The knowledge of his skills comes to me as if they are my own. After the light fades I look at an exhausted Monrell and I look into his tired eyes. He looks like he wants to say one last thing before he goes and I am sent back to Ancients World. "I will place you in a cave outside the city of Zeder. This way you wont be pursued once you leave this place." I forgot about that, there had to have been a world announcement while I was in here. I give Monrell a silent nod of gratitude as I am picked up by a mysterious power and taken from this place.

I land flat on my ass in the cave, light shines through the entrance and I hear a weird sound outside of the cave that's hard to describe. I stand up and walk out of the cave and lookout into the vast plains and out into the city of Zeder. Zeder is one of the more popular cities in Vedersfall and its far from eclipse. I will have to go through that place again once I go to my capital city for my tier up quest. I look down the hill and notice a beautifully crafted sword that has elegant engravings and masterful design. Its about 3/4 my length and I am 6'2, its a sword that draws attention.

[https://www.pinterest.com/pin/564287028284543229/ This is what the sword looks like. All credit to this design goes to Lockhart Tactical!]

I walk up to it and pull it out of the ground, once I do I am filled with power and I notice how unbelievably light it is. I do some practice swings and I can already feel a bond growing with this sword. Some swords have a property that allows you to bond with it and gain more power and move better with it. I inspect its information and I am overcome with happiness, almost to where I cry.

[The Witness resonates with your angelic blood. +5000 focus]

[This item wishes to bind with you]

[Will you allow The Witness to bind to you? Y/N]

I think yes and I feel an incredible bond being created between us. I don't know why it would resonate with my angel blood and powers. Not all the information is available to me so perhaps more about this blade will explain that. I know for certain that I will be able to kill much stronger opponents now, I wont have any trouble getting to level 50. My Damage is going to be insane now as well. My calculations indicate that by adding Dead's Bane 650 damage and The Witnesses 8,000 damage together I get 8,650 damage all together since I am duel wielding. Then I add the flat 8,500 from my strength stat and I get 17,150. Then you multiply by 2x since I am duel wielding and that causes double damage, and I now get 34,300 damage from just my normal attacks. Now its time to see the new skills I learned from Monrells technique legacy. I go to my skills section and see 2 new skills that are going to make it hard to defeat me.

Now that I have completed the trial of Monrell just like I wanted its time to go find the hermit and talk to him. I'm making great progress on my skills and power. My level hasn't moved in awhile though and most top players have probably passed me by a few levels by now. The quests I get from the hermit will fix that though.
