The colossal pillars reach for the sky, and at their summit, the Eye of Gendaya stands majestically, observing the movements from all directions.
"Alright, no need to see me off anymore, you can all go back." The old count turned around, looked at Logo and the others, and said with a faint smile.
Logo stood ramrod straight and looked at the old count, saying, "Grandpa Kevin, take care. I hope that after the Martial Arts Tournament ends, I will receive the good news that you have broken through to the Legendary."
"Haha, don't worry. You said it yourself, my chances of breaking through to the Legendary level are already over 80%, so this time I'm definitely safe."
Having said that, the old count waved his hand and prepared to leave.
But then, as if remembering something, he turned his head and stared intently at Logo. "Boy, I don't know if you're just using that girl or if you're genuinely interested, but you must be careful. A duke of the royal court—if you piss him off, the consequences..."
Upon hearing this, Logo remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Seeing his appearance, the old count sighed softly, turned and left. Led by a group of elite soldiers, he rode a cloud ladder to the Eye of Gendaya to complete his breakthrough.
Logo then took Crassus and Caesar back to White Wolf Castle.
On the way, Crassus hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.
"Just say what you have to say. What's the point of keeping it to yourself?" Logo glanced at the fat cat and said softly.
"Boss, what are you thinking? These days, you've become a bit unlike yourself, especially around Miss Qiya. I don't believe she can charm you the moment you meet her. You seem to be taking some kind of precaution..." Crassus murmured, his voice trembling slightly. In this world, besides Logo himself, he was probably the one who knew his boss best.
Therefore, Crassus was extremely sensitive to Logo's recent changes. He hadn't been sure before, but the old count's words had completely awakened Crassus, and he finally realized that something was wrong.
"What are you saying? I don't understand," Logo said calmly.
"What I'm saying, boss, you should know. What exactly are you going through that would make you act like this?" Crassus asked, his neck stiff.
Logo looked up at Crassus in front of him, smiled slightly, and reached out to pat his head. "Crassus, tell me, how long has it been since I touched you like this?"
"Not long ago? What's wrong?" Crassus was taken aback. What did this have to do with his earlier question?
"Tell me, if I lose all my emotions, am I still me?" Logo murmured.
"Lost all emotions?" Crassus looked surprised. "Boss, what do you mean? Was someone sabotaging you? Or what happened?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm about to break through to the High-Rank Transcendent..." After saying this nonsensical sentence, Logo closed his eyes and said no more.
Crassus and Caesar exchanged a glance, but neither dared to ask any further questions.
"Miracle Creation is indeed not so easy to bear..." A low sigh echoed in his heart, but unfortunately, no one but Logo could hear it.
This is a blood-red ocean stretching to the Endless, with countless crimson mists drifting in all directions, weaving into a net, transforming into all sorts of creatures, and then quickly collapsing and dissipating.
"Still such a pure Slaughter aura. The Sea of Slaughter is the perfect place for Slaughter Knight to break through." The old count looked around, realizing this was the second time he had seen it, and a look of admiration flashed across his face.
"Young man, although I don't know what difficulties you've encountered, the stronger you are, the more I can help you. You've done so much for the clan, and the clan will never let you down."
With thoughts swirling in his mind, the old count sat cross-legged, his beard and hair flying wildly. Boundless Blood Qi gathered above his head, transforming into a battle scythe. With a flash of crimson light, the blood scythe suddenly merged into the old count's body.
In an instant, countless blood-red patterns appeared, writhing and shifting, transforming behind the Grand Elder into a colossal figure clad in a cloak and wielding a scythe. A terrifying aura of Slaughter surged forth, and faintly, a wondrous and profound celestial sound echoed...
"Kalenos, Origin Blood Demonic Scythe, Supreme Slaughter..."
"Logo, you're back." The girl carrying the silver spear rushed up to greet them, a bright smile on her pretty face, like a flower blooming in early spring, dazzling and radiant, a stark contrast to her previous autistic behavior.
"Qiya, why are you out here?" Logo stepped down from the carriage and chuckled.
"Since I had nothing else to do, I came out to pick you up. Don't forget, today is the last time to light up the stars and Unity of Person and Weapon. I've been looking forward to this for a long time." Qiya said with a smile, her eyes crinkling slightly.
Five days have passed since Logo moved into White Wolf Castle.
With Logo's help, the Silver Star Spear has gradually become a part of Qiya, allowing her to use it as an extension of her own arm, and its power has greatly increased.
Now, only one last star is needed. Once it is lit, Qiya will be able to completely merge with the Silver Star Spear.
This fusion is not the Legendary equipment's natural ability to integrate into the body, but rather a fusion with the blood soul, as if it has transformed into one's own hand. The flow of energy will be smooth and unimpeded, and it can even borrow the power of the weapon for its own use.
Otherwise, Logo wouldn't have gone to such lengths to help.
"Looks like you can't wait any longer. Alright then, let's begin, the final ignition of the stars."
