Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 591 - 319: Formation of the Divine Artifact, [Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Pill] Reveals Its Edge (6,200 words)

"You're injured." Beatrice gently wiped his skin with a handkerchief.

Louis shook his head and said, "You know about my recovery speed now. This kind of wound healed before I came up."

Beatrice put down the white silk handkerchief in her hand. At this moment, the blood on Louis's upper body had been wiped off, revealing intact skin.

The girls nearby sneaked a peek, only to see the body usually hidden under regular clothes, with well-defined, non-bulky muscles full of strength.

However, everyone's gaze was somewhat different.

Olivia coughed first, then turned her head away.

Grace covered her face, not daring to look closely.

It was Alice, the crazy girl, who examined him while clicking her tongue in wonder.

Just by looking at her expression, Louis could guess she was internally murmuring, "This guy's got quite the physique."

"You handle the negotiations with the Lokeshi Empire later."

Louis rubbed her nose, and Beatrice laughed, "All right, I'll take care of it."

Although the cooperation matters between the two countries had already been determined in advance, the details still needed careful discussion.

Louis was paving the way for his main wife in negotiations through his own actions.

Their group left the training ground, went to the lounge to wait, and soon the Sword Master energetically ran over:

"Not bad, it's a method I've never seen before."

Seeing the Sword Master's sincere smile, Louis shook his head and said, "You have an open heart; if the demigods hadn't intervened, we both would have ended up heavily injured."

No wait, to be precise, the Sword Master would be heavily injured, and he'd just activate the Emerald Sacrifice and start over.

The Sword Master laughed heartily and said, "Your words have some flaws. If they hadn't been present, we wouldn't have been able to properly compete."

After saying this, his expression was a bit helpless and lonely: "A pity, in the end, I couldn't force out your true power."

Louis's body instinctively tensed. Did the Sword Master already know he held some card that could overturn the situation?

He instinctively thought of destructive moves like the [Nuclear Explosion Technique] combo.

But he quickly realized that this method was something even Beatrice had only heard about but never seen.

—After all, even Louis himself hadn't used it, fearing accidental ramifications.

The Sword Master must be talking about something else.

"It's that special domain you used when assuming the position of Weapon Master previously."

Louis suddenly understood, realizing the Sword Master was talking about the unique area unlocked at Nine Sword Grandmaster LV10.

Earlier, he had completed the path from Nine Sword Grandmaster LV6-10, successfully obtaining abilities like Weapon Master, Unity of Man and Artifact, Weapons Seize Opportunity, Weapon Upgrade Magic, and more, which significantly enhanced non-technique combat strength, eventually forming the domain.

In this battle, he used all his technique means besides the domain; one could say his regular trump cards were all out.

The reason for not using the domain was simple; in pure power terms, the domain wasn't stronger than the dragon force combined with the Invisible Gang Qi forming the Dragon Cry Gang Qi.

So he shook his head and said, "The domain's power is strong, but using it to fight you would put me at a disadvantage. You indeed forced out my limits."

—Referring to regular limits excluding the series of Sins, Book of the Dead power, and strategies extended from Sin Dragon Weaponry.

Oh right, now maybe add one more.

Not counting the magical pet Limuru.

I wonder to what extent Limuru's destructive power has escalated after advancing to Kingdom Slime.

But one thing is certain, Limuru will definitely not be a regular legendary creature.

Even back when it was a giant slime, its wide-range destruction power was already approaching a regular legend.

Its advancement speed is faster than I imagined. Calculating the time, the special biological metal and fabricated divine tool experiments should have started.

He began to look forward to it.

But his somewhat distracted state made the Sword Master more convinced that the domain was definitely stronger than imagined.

"Do you want to spar again when there's time?" He couldn't help but say, "Let me see how strong the domain you hide really is, okay?"

Louis pondered for a moment and said, "Sure, as long as you don't feel it's unfair afterwards."

He thinks if the Sword Master learns the truth about the domain, he might feel he lost unfairly.

…

Beatrice went to meet with the Lokeshi Empire's top brass to discuss cooperation, while Louis went out with Olivia and the others to dine at the Adventurer Guild.

Accompanying them were Chris and his brothers from the Royal Guard.

They were part of the Guardian Knight squad Beatrice took out of the country.

Louis took advantage of their dinner outing to get them from Teacher Jino.

Note: Kulin and Jino are also part of the Guardian Knight this time.

"What a pity, if the silent William were also here now, this might be the time when the Moonlight Cat Cat Group is most complete."

Alice picked up the bottle and drank merrily, showing a satisfied expression.

Grace whispered, "Mr. Caesar, why didn't Mr. William accompany you this time?"

Seeing Louis look over, her voice got even lower, "I'm just a bit curious, since usually Mr. William is always by your side to protect you."

Alice suddenly realized, smashing the bottle on the table, she asked in surprise:

"Yeah, something's not right. He's the Iron Guard, under normal circumstances, no matter where you go, he should stay by your side. After all, he's different from the one by His Highness's side."

"What's different?" Louis paused for a moment, then explained, "William went back to get something for me. You should be happy about it, Alice. That thing is very important to you."
