MMORPG: I Can See Hidden Information-Chapter 57 - The Fairy Lake and the 32 Swords Slash

Fike slowly approached the treasure chest before opening it.

[Congratulations on obtaining the Eye of the Demon Lord]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Heart-capturing Flute]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Demon Flame Coat]

As he gazed at the three strange rewards in front of him, he could not help himself from sighing in his heart.

‘This was much more dangerous than the last time. Why did only three items drop again?’

Fike quickly checked the hidden messages.

[Hidden Information: Eye of the Demon Lord, Demon King-grade. A rare material that is independent of other grades. It is extremely rare. Any equipment forged with this material will automatically shatter other equipment below Diamond-grade in combat. Shattered equipment cannot be repaired.]

[Hidden Information: Heart-capturing Flute, Platinum-grade. Although its quality is low, it has an astonishing effect. All creatures will listen to your commands when you play the Heart-capturing Flute]

[Hidden Information: Demon Flame Coat, Demon King-grade. Grants immunity to all fire-type damage and will reflect double of the damage upon the caster.]

‘So these three items are incredibly powerful!’

Fike quickly put away the three treasures he had just obtained before searching through the Demon Prince-tier Exotic Beast’s corpse.

A voice sounded again in Fike’s spiritual world.

“Earth child, there’s a Fairy Lake nearby with a large amount of spiritual energy. You can’t cast spells now. Why not go there and cultivate for a few days first? When your condition returns back to normal, you can proceed to the royal city of Romon.”

‘Why are you so familiar with this place? Where should I go?’

“Head east. I’ll guide you!”

The sky gradually brightened, and the real sun finally rose.

Following Zhao Ruoxian’s guidance, Fike soon found himself beside a secluded lakeside.

The vegetation growing around the lakeside was vast and beautiful, and among them were even rare medicinal herbs.

The environment here was completely different from the rest of Miracle Forest that Fike had been used to before.

This place was brimming with vitality, without any of the dilapidated feel of the rest of Miracle Forest at all.

‘I didn’t expect there to be a barrier around the Fairy Lake! Could this be private property?’

“That’s right, I’m the one who set up the barrier!”

Zhao Ruoxian responded proudly.

“More than three thousand years ago, before I became a god, I discovered this Fairy Lake as I was exploring Miracle. Do you know why this Miracle Forest is full of only dead branches and rotten wood?”

Fike thought for a moment before blurting out.

“It must be because this Fairy Lake absorbs such a large amount of spiritual energy that it causes everything in Miracle Forest to wither.”

“That’s right! Quickly, enter the lake and start cultivating!”

After hearing Zhao Ruoxian’s words, Fike immediately took off his clothes before jumping into the fairy lake.

Magical orbs of light immediately surrounded him, and he felt his physical strength recovering naturally.

‘Hey, Zhao Ruoxian! What exactly are the Immortal Pills you gave me? I’ve been wanting to ask for a while, why was I able to hear the voices of two strange men?’

“Actually, it wasn’t an Immortal Pill. It’s My younger brother’s origin pill for subduing evil and severing thoughts.”

‘What? So you’re saying that I consumed their cultivation crystals?’

“You can put it that way. Haven’t you already mastered an immortal cultivation technique?”

‘Oh right, I still have a big question regarding Divine Snowfall. Why is it that the attributes of the skill I copied previously was similar to the original, but this time it deviated so much? I tried to learn a fire-type skill. How did it become an ice-type skill in the end?’

“Have you forgotten that your Baptism of Holy Light has also become an Immortal Spell?”

“So it’s because of a special effect from the Immortal Spell?”

“I can tell you that the Immortal Spell automatically adjusts according to the enemy’s attributes in battle. Because your Baptism of Holy Light has also become an Immortal Spell, if you apply the purification that comes with it on yourself, the skill will naturally change.”

Hearing this, Fike nodded as if he had understood something.

‘Alright, that’s enough. I’m going to rest!’

…

Fike looked through the items in his backpack in boredom.

Suddenly, his gaze landed on the Celestial Arcanum.

‘Hmm… seems like I haven’t practiced any cultivation techniques from the Celestial Arcanum for a while.’

Fike procured the book before casually flipping through it.

“The fifth chapter of the Celestial Arcanum, 32 Swords Slash.”

Reading the description of the 32 Swords Slash in the Celestial Arcanum in a daze, he quickly grew quite fascinated. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

‘That’s right, upon reaching the royal city of Romon and enrolling at the Yogmo Academy, I shouldn’t reveal my identity as a mage. If I still can’t use any spells or skills when the time comes, what would I do if I encountered someone who wanted to attack me?

‘Although this sword technique may seem just like any other ordinary sword technique to others, to unleash the full power of this technique, an extremely high energy capacity must be possessed.

‘Eh, doesn’t my class just happen to not consume energy? Could it be…’

Fike immediately checked the data panel which displayed his personal attributes, including his energy.

[Energy: Unlimited/Unlimited]

‘As expected, it seems that I will soon have another new skill!’

Fike haphazardly searched for a long wooden stick as he began cultivating according to the instructions in the Celestial Arcanum.

He soon found that he was not consuming any energy despite the continuous repetition of the complex sword maneuvers.

To put it simply, if the 32 Swords Slash could be compared to a spell skill, the energy required to perform it would be equivalent to the mana consumed when casting a spell.

However, because Fike’s own energy was unlimited, he could use the 32 Swords Slash without any restrictions.

Moreover, the power of this sword skill was also directly proportional to the energy consumed from the practitioner as it was performed. As such, Fike had full control over the power of each sword slash.

‘What a sharp sword technique. I don’t even feel tired at all!’

A few moments passed.

Fike was still only practicing with a long branch. Still, with a light swing of his wrist, the Sword Qi unleashed managed to slice through a thousand-year-old ancient tree, felling it.

‘This 32 Swords Slash is too powerful!

‘The only problem now is that I’m still lacking a suitable weapon.

‘Perhaps the spatial ring that Bert left for me contains a blueprint for a sword-type weapon.’

Fike opened the spatial ring and searched thoroughly for a while.

‘Huh… Guess not? There’s only a bunch of materials here related to the manufacture of this weapon.’

Fike frowned slightly as he thought to himself.

‘Maybe Bert’s senior, Tegpus, has a way of forging such a weapon?

‘It looks like I’ll have to master this 32 Swords Slash quickly, before my strength completely recovers!’
