Possessing Nothing Novel (쥐뿔도 없는 회귀)

Chapter 140 - Promise (2)

"I listened to all the requests you made to me back then and sparred against you plenty of times. I think I've already repaid the favour you did me by teaching me how to use the Blood Gale Nova."

"Eugh!"

The Crazy Heavenly Demon answered Lee Sungmin with a moaning sound. As he said, Lee Sungmin had received a lot of help from The Crazy Heavenly Demon during the journey. He was able to get familiar with the current level of his martial arts, and make a lot of progress in mastering the Blood Gale Nova .

What was certain was that he was yet to enter Transcendence. At the same time, Lee Sungmin was convinced that his Transcendence would end in him entering the spirit world. Still, he was weaker than the level necessary for the spirit world, and there was a great difference between himself and the others who entered the spirit world before him

Lee Sungmin was not the only one who gained something. Consistently sparring with a warrior walking a similar path had also helped the development of The Crazy Heavenly Demon. In other words, they had benefited from each other.

"It's been a long time since I last saw Rubes."

Rubia got out of his arms. She stretched out like a crouching cat and put her hand on her waist.

"Have you ever been to Rubes?"

"You know, this is the headquarters of the Wizard Guild, and there are Gold and Red towers."

Gold tower. A memory came back to Lee Sungmin unbidden. Lee Sungmin had formed a relationship with Lloyd, the owner of the gold tower in Preskan's Dungeon. Lloyd had told Lee Sungmin, who saved his life, that he would do him a favour if he came back one day.

'I don't really want to call in a favour right now.'

When Lloyd first said that, he put it off until later because he had nothing to request from Lloyd at that time. Lee Sungmin glanced down at his left wrist. The bracelet that Scarlett had given him when they parted ways at the Shaolin Temple hung loosely on his arm.

Scarlett said she would let him know through the bracelet if she needed help one day.

But the bracelet had never reacted, even over the many years that had passed. Lee Sungmin was reassured by that fact. Lee Sungmin had received a lot of help from Scarlett, and the fact that the bracelet had not responded was proof that there was nothing wrong with Scarlett's personal affairs.

"My cold-hearted master had not contacted me in more than a year, but he may have left a message in the Gold Tower."

Although their journey was still continuing, Rubia was very excited. Lee Sungmin opened his eyes wide after hearing the excited Rubia's voice.

"What do you mean?"

"Lloyd, the Tower Master of the Gold Tower, is my master's disciple."

"What?"

Lee Sungmin looked surprised. Rubia opened her arms wide, feeling proud of Lee Sungmin's surprise.

"My master is a great man. Though he isn't that famous, few of the famous wizards don't know my master!"

Rubia's words decided what they would do today. Lee Sungmin could afford to meet with Wijihoyeon tomorrow, but he had no plans for today. So he decided to stop by the Gold and Red Towers.

As a large city, Rubes had many convenient facilities that were not found in other cities. Trains stations and trains that ran on railways facilitated the rapid movement of urban residents. Lee Sungmin followed Rubia, who was leading the way, to the train station near the entrance of the city.
