Chapter 69: Shura's Determination

  "Shana, wait at home for a while, I have something to go out and take care of. Don't wander around." Gala reminded Shana, but the girl was currently engrossed in reading a thick book, and when she heard the voice, she just nodded her head slightly, not knowing whether she had heard it or was moved by the content of the book.

  Shaking her head, this girl's interest in reading is no less than her own, never mind, probably nothing will happen.

  Another time, he came to the adventurer's paradise. Gallo had thought about it and wanted to buy the Windy Rock Stone, but he must have money for himself. According to the starting price of 50,000 gold coins, if he wants to buy it, he must prepare at least 100,000 gold coins. Oh my god, just thinking about it makes his head hurt.

  I currently have around 20,000 on me, which is far from enough. The fastest and safest way would be to create magic tools for sale in exchange for money. According to Master Delan's description, if I were to create a sixth-grade or higher magic tool, it might not even sell, as potential buyers may not be able to afford it until the next Yu City auction, where such valuable items are sold. It's not that no one wants them, but rather they're too expensive for anyone to afford.

  So this time the goal is set on fourth and fifth grade magic equipment, unfortunately the materials in hand are scarce, so I can only come to find again. In addition, I also plan to make a few for Shana to defend herself, after all, Shana has no power at all which is very dangerous.

  "Good materials are hard to come by." After browsing the mineral area, Gallo reluctantly gave up. Perhaps because the auction was about to take place, there were even fewer materials here than before.

  She tossed the only small piece of steel she had in her hand, which was the only harvest. The reason why it caught her eye was that its density was pretty good. Galloping leisurely, Caro arrived at the Demon Core District, the foundation of demonic artifacts. After all, they still had to rely on the materials from this place.

  It's okay, the demon core's influence isn't big, after all, to be able to go to an auction, you need at least a level 5 or higher high-quality demon core, so it doesn't affect the materials here.

  Ka Luo casually picked a few, picking up a level 4 wind attribute, a level 3 water attribute, and a level 3 light attribute.

  "Others... Hmm, this one is..." Galo picked up a black magic core from the table, about the size of an egg, with an irregular shape and densely packed sharp angles that made people feel very uncomfortable.

  "Dark attribute? This... is really a strange material." He stared at it for a long time, and from the energy of this magic core, it was at most a third-tier material. However, a third-tier dark attribute magic core seemed to be something he had never seen before, with such a low level.

  "Oh my, isn't that Miss Gallo?" Suddenly, a very unpleasant voice came over, and Gallo turned her head to look, it was the man who had gotten her into trouble with the Earl's daughter back then, what was his name again? Prince Kaito?

  Karlo took a glance and then turned back, continuing to select the magic cores.

  However, it seems that I underestimated Kate Prince's patience. He seems to be stuck with me, following closely behind and constantly annoying me.

  "Ah, you're selecting demon cores, huh? Well, they seem like some pretty good materials. You have a good eye for this."

  "What are you going to do with so many? You're not wearing a magic robe, and your magical aura isn't that strong either. That's strange."

  "Oh, I see, you must want to use him for something, let me think, is it for a magic experiment or as a material for potion-making?"

  "Don't just stay silent, it's boring for me to talk alone. Anyway, considering I've accompanied you for so long, can't you say a few words?"

  Garo stopped in his tracks, and Prince Kate seemed to be concentrating on something, immediately stopping as well, within two steps of Garo. Garo slowly opened his mouth, "Prince Kate, it seems this isn't a suitable place for someone of your status, shouldn't you be heading to the highest auction house in U City?"

  "Haha, you finally spoke up." Prince Kate smiled, just as he was about to speak again, Gallo suddenly turned his head and stared at him with icy eyes.

  "I just got rid of one trouble and don't want another coming so soon. If you understand, please leave quietly, okay?"

  Prince Kate was stunned and lost his mind for a moment, because he saw that Galron's sky blue eyes had turned into pale golden color in an instant, cold and ruthless, and lost all emotions, just like the eyes of death.

  In just that short amount of time, it was enough to make Gallo leave. Shaking his head, Prince Kate smiled "How interesting, I originally only planned to tease you a bit, now it seems things are getting more and more fun."

  "What's so funny, it's disgusting." Suddenly, a voice came over.

  "Ah, Uncle Blood, you're here too. Looks like this auction is going to be quite lively." Prince Kate immediately wiped the smile off his face.

  A figure emerged beside Prince Kate like a wisp of smoke, with an enormous iron mask covering two-thirds of his face. If Gallo was still there, she would have shrieked, for this person was the one who had given her her first defeat and setback - the 9th-level powerhouse, Iron-faced Blood God!

  Unfortunately, she can't see that now. Gallo, who had purchased the materials, was on his way home at this moment. The harvest was pretty good, with three magic cores in front of him, a dark system, a fire system and an earth system magic core.

  Suddenly, Carla stopped in her tracks outside the door of her house and saw a figure huddled up with its knees drawn up.

  Garro paused for a moment, then walked up to the figure and caught a whiff of something pungent - blood. She crouched down beside him.

  "Have you thought it through?"

  Xiu La lifted her head, and in her eyes, the original indifference was now filled with boundless sorrow. "You, can you really help me?"

  "What happened?"

  “……Yesterday, I killed again, many, many people.” Shura raised his trembling hands. “I was chased by nearly fifty members of the San Huang gang and got injured. Later, I was rescued by a farmer outside the city, but the next day, the farmer was killed by the San Huang gang. I was filled with hatred, and in that moment, I lost my mind again. When I came to, all the members of the San Huang gang, as well as three households from the village where the farmer lived, had been killed by me. The ground was covered in countless bloodstains and severed limbs.”

  Shura suddenly burst into tears "I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it anymore, such days, I won't be able to bear them for another day. Please, please...". Shura grasped Garrow's hand tightly "You said you could lift the curse from me, didn't you? I agree, I'm willing to become your servant, no matter what, I don't want to kill anyone anymore, I don't want to..." At this moment, Shura was like a poor child who had lost everything, sobbing uncontrollably.

  "I understand, come in first." He led Shura into the house, handed a borrowed book to a puzzled Sana, and then directly led Shura into the basement, leaving Sana bewildered upstairs.

  Jia Luo waved his hand and a chair appeared "Sit."

  "Alright, sit down and calm down," Shula said, looking at Galo. "Can you tell me what to do now?"

  "It's actually simple, but not that simple." Gallo said something inexplicable. "If you had come to find me a few days ago, it might have been more troublesome, but now it's much easier. From the fight that day, I've studied your body and found that when you lose your sanity and become extremely bloodthirsty, there's only one reason - the large amount of special dark energy substance contained in your blood."

  Xu La's eyes lit up, and Jia Luo said that every time he lost his mind, he had a feeling of boiling blood throughout his body.

  "I said it's simple, but that's for me. For you, it might be the most difficult hurdle in your life. To overcome this bloodline is easy - just be stronger than him. If you can reach the strength of a 7th level cultivator, you'll be fine."

  "Seventh rank?" Shula was taken aback, but immediately shook her head "But I've been stuck at sixth rank for almost five years now, without any signs of breakthrough. It's impossible to reach seventh rank in a short amount of time."

  "Of course, for you, level 7 might be an unattainable limit for your entire life." Galo's words shocked Shura. "Because as a level 6, your ability is only slightly stronger than the dark element power within your body, so most of the time your body is under your control, but once you reach level 7, then the dark element power will be completely absorbed by you and become nourishment for your body, at that time you will absolutely not lose your rationality again."

  "Really?!?" Shura exclaimed in delight, bewildered that a lifelong puzzle could be solved so easily.

  "However, there's one thing - the dark power within you is also clear, and it's constantly destroying your body, making it impossible for you to become a 7th-level strongman. That's what I meant by 'the difficult problem'."

  "Is... there a way?"

  "The only, and the last resort." Garo's hand lifted up, a black magic core appeared in his hand "You're very lucky, I bought this magic core today. The method is simple, I'll use forced power to make you break through, but be careful, if you fail, you'll only die."

  "I will infuse power into your body, but what ultimately decides is your own willpower. If you can control it, you have a chance of victory. However, if you fail, you will be permanently controlled by the dark power, and at that time, I will kill you."

  "But relatively speaking, if you don't accept this method, then you can go on like this forever until you die, think carefully about it."

  Shura smiled, "No need to say anything more, I've thought about it for a long time. If this time you also can't do anything, then I don't plan on living anymore." He raised his head, "I want to see the beautiful sky again with that carefree heart, I want friends who can be with me, simple wishes but for me they are unattainable. So this time my decision is the wisest one in my life, come on, Garo Master."
