The stone that he swallowed earlier turned into magma.
It flowed into his blood and circulated throughout his body.
All the pores on his body felt like they were on fire, and his organs felt like they were being cooked.
The pain was so excruciating that he wanted to cry.
Can’t I just die in peace?
Why did I even bother to swallow that stone?
What the hell is it? Why did it morph into magma after I swallowed it?
The Spirit Stone!
That stone he swallowed must be the Spirit Stone!
Previously, he took a few Spirit Stones from Eurasia and gave some to the Four Divinities.
However, was left with one more.
He did not expect himself to swallow it by accident.
Finally, he passed out from the pain.
After some time, he woke up and he felt more comfortable than before. It felt as if he had just taken a warm bath.
He could no longer feel the cold nor the pain, and his body felt as light as a feather.
Am I dead? Am I in heaven?
He glanced around and found himself inside the same cave.
He widened his eyes. “What just happened?”
He got up immediately. As a result, his head knocked against the roof of the cave.
He felt no pain, but the rock he knocked against, was smashed into ashes.
Damn!
Connor was shocked by what he had done.
What’s wrong with my head?
Is it made of iron?
That’s impossible.
As he was unsure, he punched the cave wall again.
Boom!
A thunderous sound rang through the cave, and it began to shake violently like there was an earthquake.
Then, the middle of the cave collapsed.
All he did was punched once, and that caused the cave to collapse.
It was like a miracle to possess such power.
Connor laughed happily like a maniac.
“With this strength, I am the strongest amongst all the warriors I know. With my power, I have far exceeded Archduke and attained King Class. Haha! As a King Class warrior, I am already a legend who stood above all the others.
Father, can you see this? I have finally fulfilled the goal that you never got to achieve.
Zeke, thank you! This is a blessing in disguise. If it weren’t for you, I would still have been a fugitive.
Overjoyed, he punched the pile of snow that blocked the cave opening.
The power released from that punch drilled a hole through the two-hundred-meter-thick snow.
Connor leapt up with joy.
He flew through the thick snow like an arrow released from a bow and soon landed on top of the mountain.
He was over the moon to see daylight again.
At that moment, a ferocious snow leopard passed by.
With one glance at Connor, it became fearful and turned to flee for its life.
The murderous aura that the man emitted made the snow leopard feel threatened.
However, Connor was hungry and was not going to let it off.
With one punch, he released an immense force. It chased after the snow leopard and created a hole in its stomach.
Then, Connor picked up the snow leopard and began to drink its blood.
The blood tasted sweet, and he satisfied his hunger.
“Eurasia, I’m back.” He said as he walked towards Eurasia.
“I have two motives for my return. First, I will avenge my father by killing the Great Marshal. Second, I will rebuild the Prince’s Residence and retake the title of Imperial Teacher.”
As far as Connor was concerned, Zeke posed no threat to him since he had a weakened life force.
Knowing that he could kill Zeke anytime, there was no hurry to do that.
Right now, his top priority was to rebuild the Prince’s Residence.
