Chapter 700 Introducing

"What? A Lord has invaded your territory, and you had to go all-out to defeat him?" Michael asked with a teasing undertone, "That was about time. How did you even manage to spend a whole year without getting attacked or invaded?!"

Kaleb's lips parted as if he was ready to respond to Michael, but he shut his mouth a moment later when he heard Hiraku mumble behind him.

"Ridiculous. A 7-Star Soultrait alongside an Inheritance Technique, Legacy Arts, near-infinite resources, and he doesn't even have to face any powerful monsters or Lords for a year."

"Two years if we use the Origin Expanse's timeline," Frederik added.

Kaleb stared at the trio, his eyes narrowed to slits.

"Why are you teaming up against me?" He grumbled.

[You seem like an easy target, just like my brother~] Danny said in Michael's mind.

For once, Michael was happy that his brother couldn't use much origin energy in his current form. Danny's Living Soul was entwined with origin energy, but it was not enough to use Whispering Energy for a prolonged period. He would fall into a weakened state when using Whispering Energy for too long. Therefore, Danny didn't even think of wasting his precious bits of energy to talk to the others. Talking to Michael was enough for him.

"We're not teaming up against you," Michael retorted lightly, "It's just surprising that you weren't attacked until now. But that might be better for you. You have your family backing your territory development with resources. It's not the same in the Untamed Jungle. I had no resources and had to use the Untamed Jungle's resources to expand my territory. Only by dealing with the Lords and Awakened, who'd threatened to invade my territory, was it possible to grow this powerful."

Michael wasn't complaining. It was just that he never had much time to focus on his progress. He had yet to create custom Legacy Arts, Martial Arts, etc. The only time off he has had was during the last few months. Michael had been very busy with his territory and the creation of Soul Techniques, but he hadn't been attacked. His enemies were all dead, after all.

Michael imagined what would have happened if nobody attacked him for two years – Origin Expanse time. He was not sure how much weaker he would have been in that case.

Footsteps resounded behind Michael. The clattering of heels reached his ears.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Michael and his friends turned to the noise source and noticed Maria. She entered the arena, followed by her followers, Lincoln and Zeke.

Lincoln and Zeke approached Michael and the others right away. On the other hand, Maria gestured to her followers before she strode toward the group as well.

[So that's the other one?] Danny asked when Michael's eyes landed on Maria.

Michael had to use Spirit Eyes to show Danny the outside world, but he regretted that at this moment.

Michael was comfortable talking about Evalynn Fang, Hesta, the Nest, and their family's Curse. He activated one Cursed Seal, resulting in the expansion of the Spirit Eyes' Stigma. The intricate pattern of the Cursed Seals covered most of his upper head. The pressure in the room intensified, and the Extraction Aura engulfing Michael grew stronger.

His friends sensed the tremendous power within the aura shrouding Michael and the change in his presence caused by the Cursed Seal.

"That...explains a lot," Zeke said, "But I have never heard about Curses like that. I know Soultraits that can Curse someone, but these Curses are...different from this Curse."

Zeke pointed at the Cursed Seal and frowned deeply.

"Your family is messed up," Frederik merely said, earning another barrage of glares from the others.

[Frederik is a nice one. Keep this guy close to you. He will make sure that you're never bored.] Danny announced suddenly in Michael's head. Michael mentioned nothing.

"So...you managed to resurrect your brother by removing the Curse adhered to his Soul. Then you extracted his Living Soul and shoved it inside...your other Soultrait?" Maria asked, the doubt in her voice apparent.

"I stored him inside the Soul Grimoire," Michael said, summoning the Soul Grimoire. The Grimoire floated in the air before his friends and fluttered open. A moment later, Danny's voice resounded through the minds of Michael's friends.

[Hello there. I'm this troublemaker's brother. There is no need to be nice to him. Beat him up a little to ensure he won't be too full of himself!] Danny mentioned in their minds, using Whispering Energy.

It used a considerable amount of energy, but Danny didn't mind. He could replenish his used-up energy in the next few hours.

"Thanks, Danny..." Michael grumbled. He retrieved the Soul Grimoire, only to smile when he saw his friends' expressions.

They were shocked and still in disbelief, more or less. However, they were also pleased to see Michael like this. Michael was happy. It didn't take many brain cells to tell that Michael was much more relaxed than he used to be. It felt like nothing in the universe could shake Michael at this moment.

The last time Michael felt like that was...a long time ago. He didn't even remember when he felt like that before.

"You managed to revive your brother...amazing," Maria mumbled, her eyes glimmering with curiosity.

"Yes...and no. It's a little bit more complex than that," Michael acknowledged.

"But no matter how complicated it is. I will revive my brother completely soon. I can do it!"
