Ancient Determination, The Envy of Assassins is a force with murder and infiltration specialists. This force is called Assassin.
One of his great blessings was to allow the owner of this power to enter the shadow for three minutes and be able to appear in its nearest shadow.
Arcturus made use of this ability to climb the Tree of Adam without any effort. Even so there was a limit to where he could utilize this power.
Arcturus' body is still relatively weak to handle this ability. Arcturus could not continue to use it to reach the top of the Tree of Adam.
“My destination is near.”
One thing not known to all included the Third Eye Ogre. There is a shortcut to the top of the Adam's Tree.
Arcturus was currently in the middle of the tree, he then found a trunk that looked like a root. There was nothing special about it, but there was a secret in it.
“I found it.”
Arcturus took out a sword from his dimension ring and attempted to cut the root. He thrust out his sword and made a small hole.
A smile began to grow on her lips when she discovered that there was a room inside her tree. Information from his previous life was very useful.
“I should have brought an axe .. This weak physique is very irritating.”
Even though he has trained his body but Arcturus does not have a body that is said to be fit. His training lasted less than two months. There are not many results that can be achieved even though relying on newbie gains.
It took Arcturus a short time to make a hole the size of his body and into the Tree of Adam. Soon the roots he had dug out earlier began to close back, as if they had never been hollowed out.
“So this hidden place Tree Adam.”
Arcturus obtained information about this place from his previous life. He visited the burnt-out Tree of Adam to retrieve the Elixir-making materials.
The tree of Adam which at that time lost its fertility shows this secret room.
It was a room with a spiral staircase up. In the center was only a pillar with rune carvings that even Arcturus was unaware of. Although there is no lighting whatsoever this place is not dark at all. How mysterious.
His current place was the ground floor and Arcturus needed to climb up the spiral staircase to reach its peak.
“Much better than climbing from outside.”
Riding hundreds or even thousands of stairs is troublesome, but it is not comparable to trying to climb from the outside.
After all, Arcturus has the ability to deserve this. He started jumping from wall to wall and kicked the air. He was at the top of the stairs and the top of the Tree of Adam.
The wall in front of him slowly opened itself, like a strangely moving root.
The view of the night sky filled with stars greeted him, the full moon displayed its light beautifully without hiding its identity.
The air in a place this high should be thin, but strangely Arcturus can still breathe smoothly as below. Perhaps it was because of the uniqueness of the Adam Tree itself.
“Now should I look for materials or get that power first?”
There are two things that Arcturus can get from the Tree of Adam.
First is the essential ingredient for making Elixir. Arcturus knew its location though it was quite troublesome to pick it up.
Lastly, it was the reason Arcturus was willing to trouble himself and waste time here. Things that will be useful to him. Of course it is power.
• there's something around here.
Arcturus smiled after hearing the killer sense something. At first he himself doubted it really existed, but only recently the truth was confirmed.
“I'd better take it first, another Ancient Determination.”
Arcturus was grateful to have arrived in the first place. He did not want this beautiful tree to experience anything tragic again.
Arcturus began to walk. There were tree branches scattered everywhere, as if trying to make a roof to prevent anyone at the top of the rain.
There were even roots hanging as if making a protective wall in the one place where the strongest wind blew. Surprisingly, the root was only slightly unmoved due to that strong gust of wind.
Soon Arcturus found a place facing directly to the moon. The only place where the roots grow sideways is as if making a particular door and path.
“I found it.”
It was a place where he could obtain another Ancient Determination. Arcturus unhesitatingly began to step up even as the murderer began to speak.
• Betting two resolve at once might weigh you down. Not to mention the owner of this determination felt familiar.
Arcturus did not know if each Ancient Determination was interconnected and knew each other. But based on the information contained in the original novel, the majority of Ancient Determination came from the same era.
It was very likely that every one of the Ancient Determination's owners knew each other even though it was only limited to hearsay.
‘Should be fine as long as I don't ask for an exchange like last time.’
Arcturus once transacted with the assassin for strength instead he would be paralyzed for some time. It was an exchange that did not harm Arcturus considering that the killer was quite friendly.
Another story is if it's not the killer. The owner of the determination certainly has a different ego.
• Then I will suppress my strength for the safety of your body. Be careful, lucky people are more hated and envied.
Arcturus could feel that something that seemed to fill his chest began to shrink to some extent. The killer had apparently been earnestly suppressing his own existence.
• my strength is also getting limited when I do this.
There was no problem, Arcturus just nodded and thanked him in his mind.
Arcturus arrived at the end of that unique place, he watched the sky below him and the full moon align with his line of sight.
Another voice immediately infiltrated his head.
• I'm not gonna bow respect to anyone.
• kings, emperors, dragons, even gods. Without exception.
His voice might sound like a robot already determined to say just that. But Arcturus can still feel the emotions of the owner of the voice.
• I hate bowing down for showing my humility. I don't like to look up because I admit I'm small.
• yet I finally looked up, and looked down .. while cursing the sky and the sun higher than me, the moon always beautiful and great.
Arcturus could guess what kind of power this one was. There should be one that is most suitable to describe this Ancient Determination.
• even so I don't feel low or small. I continued to challenge him to the end .. solely for my own satisfaction.
• A great king who will not bow down to anyone. I am the greatest emperor who looks upon all things from on high and is looked upon with great majesty by those who live.
Arcturus' smile became even wider and brighter as he learned of the identity of this Ancient Determination.
• the king's. I am the emperor who adored all life.
‘Ancient Determination, Pride of Great Emperor.’
