Ancient Tears BloodLine

Mercy's lotus, What a powerful name. Zack thought internally. "Uncle James, Do you want me to use this treasure?" Zack asked. He was pained in his heart. Ever since he was little. Uncle James was the one who helped him. Both he and Granny Park were like two relatives to him. I had no recollection of my parents. I heard from Granny Park that they died in a monster attack. Uncle James was the one who took care of me.

I must become stronger and take care of Uncle James and Granny Park. Zack vowed in his heart. Seeing complex expressions on Zack's face.

Granny park sighed and said. "Don't trouble yourself, Zack. This treasure is valuable for you now; But for strongest warriors the single petal is useless" She continued "Besides, there is a reason James and I were helping you ; We need strong warriors to defend humanity. At first, we want you to have a normal life. But you on the other hand always wanted to become a Ranking warrior".

She is being emotional then She said.

"I still remember the days you are asking about warriors in the orphanage spending nights in the library to gain knowledge; Even in the lengths of not having single friends in the orphanage. You isolated yourself completely. Both of us were concerned seeing your behaviour. That is why we decided to support you to become Ranking Warrior to a level higher than us".

Mr James had complex expressions on his face. Because he knows the truth. There are only Four people who know Zack's true bio. They were Captain Norman, Feral, Granny Park and himself. They only knew Zack was rescued from Meteor stricken Zone and Zack's parents died saving him. But they didn't know about Zack parents bio. I modified them and lied to them. Saying Zack's parents from hunter league.

He quickly said. "Zack if you want to repay something. Just live well become stronger and save humanity. That's all. Don't think about anything else; Do not forget you are the seed of the ARMY Federation. And the Federation don't like weaklings. This petal will help you create the perfect base. There are three things needed to be noted about Ranking warriors".

Uncle James continued by saying.

"1. Magical Strength

2. Physical Strength

3. Soul Strength

You can gain physical strength and magical strength by levelling up using the warrior technique. But increasing soul strength is harder. By only using rare treasures we can at least gain a little bit of power. This Mercy's lotus petal help you cleanse your soul from impurities. it's a rare soul type treasure.

Mr James carefully explained everything".

Listening to both Granny Park and Uncle James. The turmoil in my heart was reduced. I forget that I am the seed candidate. only by performing better, I can gain resources from ARMY thereby reducing pressure on Uncle James and Granny Park. Hope this will be the last time. I rely on them. Zack said to himself.

"Uncle James, How to use this petal?". Zack asked after readied his thoughts. He removed his distracting thoughts and focused his mind on the current task. Uncle James said. "You have to consume the petal quickly. once it leaves the case. It will start to react to the surroundings. Its power will reduce then. Sit in a meditation position there. I will create a barrier around you. Granny Park is maintaining a barrier around the backyard".

Zack sat in a meditative position in the centre.

In front of him was the metal case. Uncle James signalled Granny Park. And Created a barrier around Zack. Zack opened the metal case carefully. He then calmly picked up the petal. The aura emitted by the petal makes his mind lost for a moment. Zack's heart starts to beat faster. He opened his mouth and put the petal inside of it. Soon his perception ability turned on itself without him thinking. The White petal melted quickly and entered his soul.

Zack lost his mind. He felt blissful seer pleasure took over him. As the white petal energy starts to cleanse his soul. The little aftermath effects were left on his soul by the lightning rune were cleansed and his soul is in the next stage of purification his soul become denser little by little. Zack cannot perceive this whole happening. He is in a state of loss.

Mr James from outside cannot see through what is happening inside. It's already half an hour. He started to worry. Sometimes later Zack regained his consciousness. He was overwhelmed by this new feeling. He felt powerless. A single petal made him defenceless makes him completely lost his mind. Zack bit his lip and readied his thoughts.

Soon a surprise caught in his eyes.

He felt powerful his physical strength seems to get stronger. Uncle James told me this was a rare soul type treasure. Look like my soul power got levelled up. I did not know how to measure it accurately. I need to ask Uncle James about it. He cleared his mind. Then got up and went outside the barrier.

Seeing Zack coming both Uncle James and Granny Park got relaxed. Granny Park felt Zack become stronger. She smiled "looks likes the little petal did his wonder". she responded. Hearing that Zack smiled and said, "Yes Granny I felt powerful but don't know how to measure it. My intuition tells me my soul power is the same as physical strength".

Uncle James added by saying. "It's hard to sense the exact level of soul power. only by having a powerful artefact you can judge or do you need to have a high-level warrior to sense your power.But it's not needed to have for the time being; You have now a perfect base filled with power. Now you needed to polish this strength with extreme training".

"Okay, Uncle James, I will train harder" Zack replied. He vowed. Hereafter, I will spend some extra hours in training in the sword centre. After some conversation, all of them left.. Zack went back to his room slept peacefully.f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮
