Chapter 470: Grade III Legacy

[Demesne of Desire: Grade III]

[Legacy Skill: Instant Restoration]

I was watching in shock, not daring to believe, when the words flashed in front of me.

This is not a dream. The legacy has truly advanced to Grade III.

Something that took decades had been achieved in less than a year.

A thing, that only happened once in this era.

“The establishment had advanced,” said Caena and every eye turned to me.

I opened my mouth to respond when everything disappeared in front of me.

For a moment, I was in absolute darkness, before the multicolored sun appeared in front of me and the moment after that, the planets materialized in front of me.

As all the planets appeared, another change started.

This one was expected.

The tides of emotions came toward the core. The tide is dense with emotions and gets denser every second as the wave spreads from the legacy.

There are massive emotions in the city.

Since the last advancement. There had been four battles, and many different things that brought out intense emotions from the people.

The tide contains much denser emotions than the last time. This isn’t surprising; a Grade III legacy is capable of absorbing more powerful emotions.

The core begins to get bigger as it absorbs the massive emotions the tides are bringing it.

Soon, it reached the size of a truck and began to pour the power into the planets. They ate it like they had been hungry for years.

I could feel the small changes happening in them.

Caena had been making the changes to these charms. She could not make big changes, but an even smaller one was enough to upgrade them.

It cost me a lot of money and I hope, the cost will be worth it.

Till now, the upgrade wasn’t active as it needs enormous power. Such an amount of power could only be gained in advancement.

If I took it from the core, it would weaken it and take years to activate all the upgrades, but a breakthrough could be done in seconds.

Soon, the core had become as big as the house and still getting bigger, absorbing more emotions.

The wave had only spread to the third of the city. It is spreading further and further.

Hun!

I was looking at the planets when I turned to specific ones. The twenty-four especially. These twenty-four are absorbing the largest amount of emotions from the core

They are the ones, that nearly broke my skill last time.

The benefits it had provided had saved my life and the life of everyone in the city.

If it wasn’t for that; I would have been killed by the lich and thousands of people would have died.

The city might not have been standing as it is right now.

It had created the outer range, which aided me in using the spells outside of the legacy.

This time, I had asked Caena to make preparations. I want at least half a city to be covered by it, more if possible.

Last time, it had nearly broken the skill, but seeing the tremendous benefits, the outer range provides. I took the risk, once again.

The core seemed to have an insatiable appetite. It begins consuming a massive number of emotions. Far more than it should at this level.

While it’s feeding the charms. It is also getting bigger.

Finally, the wave reached the wall from all sides, absorbing all the emotions present in the city, and stopped.

It made me feel relieved. It had really become huge, that I feared. Something bad might happen. Bigger isn’t always better.

It had grown massive, as big as the tennis stadium.

It remained at that size for several seconds, before it started to shrink. As it did, the emotion essence inside it began to thicken fast, becoming more and more powerful.

In just a few moments; it had shrunk to the size of the carriage, before stopping.

The essence inside became powerful. More than the Grade II. It’s Grade III, now.

Hun!

I was looking at the core, when the skill activated and domain of legacy, begin to expand.

Demesne Expansion.

It begins to expand vertically and horizontally. I could feel the floors as they began to enter its domain one by one, while it spread, covering more and more area.

Finally, the expansion stopped.

I looked at it, with a big smile on my face.

The legacy now covers all twenty-one floors of the tower, as I had expected. It also covers forty-four thousand square feet of the area of the tower.

Sixteen thousand more and it will cover the entire tower.

Hun!

I was thinking about the essence, I could harvest with the bigger legacy, when the twenty-four planets connected to the wall shone.

Seeing them, my expressions turned serious, and I braced myself.

A second passed and then another when I felt the pull from them toward my legacy skill.

Demesne Expansion.

The skill resisted, and the planets increased the pressure.

Till it had reached so much, it became painful, and the pain kept increasing, that it took all my will to stop myself from screaming.

I bore the pain as I focused on skill, which is resisting the pull, but won’t be for long.

It’s reaching its limit and once it does. There will be only two choices in front of it.

A lot would depend on what choice it makes.

Finally, it reached the limit, and I watched the legacy skill with the bated breaths.

I am taking a massive risk here. If I failed, I would pay a horrible price. I would lose this skill and even damage my legacy.

The damage would be so great, that it would never be able to advance again, but I need to take the risk.

The enemies are everywhere. The outer range covering the large area of the city would help me tremendously to deal with threats that came for me and mine.

The pull had reached so high that I felt the skill would break when the skill began to change.

Like it did last time.

Immediately, the soul-breaking pain disappeared, and twenty-four planets began to pour a massive amount of essence into the skill.

As they did, the outer range which covers a third of the city began to expand.

It covered more and more stress and squares. Soon, it covered half of the half of city.

Taking city hall into its domain. It made me feel relieved.

With the city hall covered, it will make things much easier for me and also safer, than I would be able to use the spells from there.

I thought it would stop at 50%, but it didn’t and soon, it had covered the lord’s mansion and kept spreading even further.

Within a second, it had covered 75% of the area of the city, while I watched in shock as it continued to spread.

Seconds passed, and it had finally stopped.

I remained frozen with deep shock in my heart. The outer range had covered the entire city. This means I could use the skills of legacy from any part of the city.

I could throw spells from any part of the city, including the wall.

Hun!

I was watching in shock when the twenty-four planets hummed and suddenly increased the flow of emotion power into the skill.

It made my eyes widen. Something like this hadn’t happened last time.

The skill resisted the power, but the twenty- four planets shoved it into the skill forcefully.

For a moment, I didn’t understand what was happening, when suddenly my eyes widened, and I saw the expansion again.

It’s not the outer range, that is expanding, but the core domain of the legacy.

It began to expand, spreading foot by foot, while planets poured more power into the skill.

It lasted for several seconds before it suddenly stopped, and I heaved a sigh of relief. The skill had reached the breaking point, that I felt like cracks would start appearing on it.

The legacy calmed down, and everything disappeared, but I didn’t react.

I am staring at the legacy, not daring to believe, what I am seeing.

The legacy now covers all sixty thousand square feet of area that the tower occupies. It had also spread vertically, approximately five and a half floors.

This means now, I could build five and a half floors more, but I won’t do that.

I already have the five floors and with my intentions. Five underground floors were covered in the domain of legacy. As for the half-floor, it covered the roof.

I could see the instant reaction from the girls as the colorful mist appeared on the roof.

“Congratulations, Master Silver,” said Caena, bringing me out of my thoughts.

“Congratulations, Master Silver,” the girls echoed.

“Thank you all. It wouldn’t have been possible, without all of you,” I said to them, and I mean every word of it.

Such advancement is extremely rare. It is their belief in me, that made it happen.

“Girls, go back to your shifts. Floor leaders, return to your floors and announce the advancement of the legacy. The rest, return to your dorms,” ordered Caena and immediately, the girls began to leave.

They looked unwilling but followed the order immediately and began to leave.

Within a minute, only Carla, Margaux, Caena, Bell, and Zela remained.

“My lord, there are inquiries from the lords and the legacies,” informed Zela.

I could have made the advancement silent like last time, but I let the other sense. I need others to know; it will help me deal with the pressure I am in.

“Conform it,” I ordered.
