As I stared at the list of my Sword Skills and its current state, I couldn't help but shake my head. It looked totally neglected. However, thinking back to the time that passed, I truly had no chance to mull over creating my Sword Skills and complete this Mastery Phase concerning my skill with Swords.

True, I could pull out my previous Sword Skills but most of those had their different prerequisites. The Festival of Blades was one with the least prerequisite to executing it. It only needed Energy Control and mine was already sufficient.

As for the other Sword Skills I possessed back then, the Intent contained in them were too complicated for my current progress.

Nonetheless, now that I got the chance to truly look at it and also to prepare for what I was about to face, I better dig my memories to fill in the last three Sword Skills to integrate with my Sword Style.

And this was like killing two birds in one stone. This Advanced Sword Mastery would be maxed out and evolve into my own Sword Path.

Sword Path or any other type of weapon's Path was different from a pathway but at the same, it's closely related.

The blue-colored Swordforce or the other force generated when using another weapon still stemmed from one's Source Energy.

Imagine Source Energy as the water and the Pathway and a weapon's Path as two canal streams. Even if they're from the same source, they're different from each other.

And that's actually the reason why others didn't possess a Force. They're only using their weapon as it was presented to them.

As for the consciousness in one's weapon. It's part of the weapon's Path. It's a prerequisite to creating one's weapon's Path.

It's actually possible to generate Swordforce or any other type of Weaponforce even as a Rank 1 Mortal. It's also possible to complete and create a Sword Path even without becoming a Transcendent.

That's why there are those who are called Weapon Experts; Sword Expert, Spear Expert and many more.

However, one's Pathway is still more important because that's what evolves one's body to enlarge one's Source Energy Capacity.

Without sufficient Source Energy that would generate Swordforce, no matter how sophisticated one's Sword Path, it would be too limited.

Naturally there were also different ranks attainable on any weapon's Path.

Back then, my Sword Path was weaker than my Pathway even before I became a Divinity.

I only attained the early King-class in my Sword Path. And a King-class is equivalent to a Sage Realm if one will base it on Pathway's different realms of existence. But that doesn't mean a King-class can rival a Sage Realm. Because like I said, everything still depended on Source Energy.

The rank goes from Master, Saint, King, Emperor, Deity.

And in this new life, I'm still short of being a Master-class or someone who had just created his own Sword Path.

In any case, although I wouldn't truly focus on it, I deemed it necessary to tread on Sword Path.

My Pathway was mostly filled with support skills and I was brute-forcing it most of the time against my enemies. The true offensive skills I possessed apart from my Sword Skills could be counted on one hand. Bedeviled Outburst and my Air Bullet Elemental Spells Variations.

The Knight Skills and Wizard Spells from the System Pathway weren't counted. My Clones, Pillars and Avatar were auxiliary skills and they're closer to summons rather than being a pure offensive skill.

Ah. There's also my Crest Release from my Spirit Pathway but that was a one-time use before it needed to be recharged.

I'm truly a Support Character, huh? But that's not a bad thing for me. I already have my Companions filled with offensive skills.

Now then, I will be creating or recreating Sword Skills to fill up the Sword Skill slots while on the way to the Administration Building.

When I left that place where the Artificial Intelligence and the Central Processing Unit was located, I brought with me a clue to what I was supposed to get at the Administration Building.

And although it's not that surprising, it's still welcome news.

It's actually the chance for me to finally complete Mortal Pathway, skipping the long accumulation of Source Energy.

There were other methods to increase one's progress. However, the best one was still continuously absorbing Source Energy, aided by Energy Stones or not.

Nonetheless, that method was proven too slow for me at the time. If possible, I would like to receive another reward from that Dimensional Battle I participated in with Irja. When we won against the enemy world, the reward was a swift increase in my Pathway's progress that time. It was instant and no hassle.

That's impossible to achieve this time though.

And here comes the entry of the clue provided by the Artificial Intelligence.

What's waiting for me at the Administration Tower was an inheritance or what they called the Legacy Acceptance.

That's right. Inside that building was a Legacy left behind by the owner of this place.

Ah no. It's partly wrong to say that it was prepared by him.

It was actually prepared hurriedly by that Artificial Intelligence when the owner of this Place or specifically the one who created the Central Processing Unit and the Artificial Intelligence, suddenly perished.

Well, this Legacy that was left behind was a programmed command to the Central Processing Unit just in case that owner met his untimely demise.

And he did meet his untimely demise.

It's not hard to guess how he perished, right? He's probably a Sage so he's probably among the first ones who got turned into Source Energy Resource at that time.

Before Earth was dried up of its Source Energy, the Artificial Intelligence who's like the soul of that gigantic machine successfully completed that Legacy and placed it at the top floor of the Administration Tower.

Obviously, the condensed Source Energy from the crystal deposits that should be part of that Legacy was also sucked in back then. But according to the Artificial Intelligence, there's one item that survived that ordeal because of how tightly sealed it was.

It's a condensed Chaotic Energy that was extracted from Space Oddities they subdued in a World Ruin or a Chaosworld.

Chaosworld was another way to call those places inhabited by them.

The owner was probably studying Chaotic Energy. But there's no one who made a breakthrough on utilizing those. It only has one known function, absorbing the Chaotic Energy from the Space Oddities to increase one's Pathway progress.

If I could get my hands on that condensed Chaotic Energy, that would really become my ticket to completing my Mortal Pathway.

But like the Artificial Intelligence said… I had to pass the test created for that Legacy Acceptance.

Whatever test was that, I had no choice but to do it, right?

And that's why, after 20 minutes, I arrived in front of the imposing Administration Building.

In front of me… a Gold Automaton almost the same as that one in the Armor Peripherals Storage Building was already waiting.

"Is this part of the test? Perhaps not." I shook my head as I pulled the Willful Sword out of its sheath.

​ "Lucky you, you're going to be the one who will try these Sword Skills I prepared."

Although this one wouldn't understand me, I still talked while getting into the Sword Stance to execute one of my new Sword Skills; Rupture.
