Chapter 19: Elon Of Sloth

"It's been a while since Rui, Lilia and Sura have been shopping in the market. I really need to refrain from abusing my power like that."

The man gestured his right palm open forward before chanting, "System!"

Nascent Realm Enlargement was a phase after a mana cultivator had finished their Golden Orb creation to nourish their converted mana. To enlarge the miniature realm they must build a catalyst using their Golden Orb with a high amount of mana hundred times used for the Golden Orb as the fuel. Then again, the methods were different from each cultivation law.

"Aiya, if only the Champion was in the Citadel. The temple is closed due to the foreboding they received." Elon sighed. "Seems like I'll be staying in this Citadel for a while. The quest center should be my destination by now."

Elon Suykar was a revenant, he was an error in this world. He was already deemed as dead within the seams of destiny, but how could he be breathing by now?

The soul inside of him is none other than a teenager from six thousand years from the past, the era where someone his age was attached to a device that could connect to an information mindhive and couldn't tolerate two days without them.

The moment Elon got betrayed by his brother, the soul of this unfortunate young man was sent to its crippled body. With the help of a mystifying entity called the 'System', he was able to renourish the body via rewards and guidance given by the transdimensional cheat.

Rather mortified that he got transmigrated into the body of someone who was not supposed to be alive after gaining all of Elon's memories. The man has been piloting the corpse and rebuilding it anew as he changed his appearance to conceal himself from the siblings who hated him to the core.

"After enlarging my mana sea, joining an association or forming a mercenary group seems plausible. I can't stay too long or the blessings will be triggered."

His blessings, [Fortune Guidance] were too much for him sometimes. Elon wanted a carefree life out of danger but this blessing was always engaging him for the reward he would receive in the end. Then again, the danger was nullified most of the time with his heaven defying luck. Of course, this luck was different from his innate luck stats.

Although sometimes it doesn't work, he found out that he could manipulate the blessings by actively seeking for gains. This gave him two possible paths in his mind.

The first one was to be as strong as he could by actively seeking for system's compliment and rewards.

The second was to manage any activity that triggers the blessings while also trying to lay low after making an event. Because if not utilized, it would automatically trigger to get Elon into trouble.

Of course, he chose the second because he was a coward.

He used the enormous amount of wealth to buy a plot of land and a house in Gaia Citadel instead of investing on his cultivation and strength. Even with three females chasing for him, he couldn't care less about power. He felt he had everything despite not having many.

The system itself was consistent at best. It gave him everything he needed right at that moment. Slowly like a beaver building a dam, Elon was still waiting for the power spike that let him freed from the shackles of fate.

"I just want a peaceful life."

"Elon!" Shouted a feline. The giant yellow bell clanged rapidly as she ran to the man on the veranda. "A problem! Sura and Lilia were being attacked in the forest when cultivating!!

The cat ears upon the silver threaded hair were twitching, she stopped with her hands on knees, gasping before continuing. "They told Rui to run to Elon because there will be a raid coming in this direction!"

The man was annoyed, tight veins were wrapping on his cranium. "So the three of you went to cultivate right after shopping in the market without my permission!? Argh, I'll scold all of you later because firstly, the Citadel is in danger."

Right after he said that, the wailing from thousands of Calamities had reached the beating heart of Gaia Citadel. The giant bell rang many times so suspenseful with people panicking on the street. In distress events like this, Usurpers available for combat must be dispatched immediately.

"Rui! Lead me to Lilia and Sura!"

"F-follow Rui."

Within the call of the crisis, all Usurpers were allowed to soar through the sky to get to the frontline as fast as they could. The rules of 'No flying within the Citadel' were implemented to reduce the chaos and to set the one with powers and civilians having the same standing on the ground.

But in time like this, the strong must protect the weak. That statement was declared by the progenitor of civilization to ensure the world will not be devoid of life and kindness.

Elon and Rui casted a flying spell to themselves. The Guardians from Vagant were equipped with high grade weaponry and armor as they cast their mana barrier, soaring the sky in unison while cultivators not in any association were given a choice to run away or to stay and defend the mark of what mortal's left behind in this uncaring world.

Many were working together to build a barrier formation to encapsulate the sky. Above the said sky high barrier, Elon zoomed his vision of his enhanced eyes meridian to the area Rui was pointing at.

"They are in that direction!"

"Rui, stay here and help the other, I will get to Sura and Lilia."

Elon skipped the sky to reach the area his companion was at sonic speed. Only to find nothing, not even a trace.

'This must be the blessing triggering again!! How!? I gambled to seek for fortune!!'

At that moment, thousands of Calamities could be detected, numerous meters away from the Citadel and his position, rushing at high speed.
