Stronger.

So far the main reason for growing stronger has always been revenge. It was still the same now. With a second life, the goals in my life were meeting Choi Seulgi and exacting retribution on the Sword Saint to some extent, but my perception of this gradually began changing after rebirth growing up with a brood of Green Skins and then finally leading this clan.

They were equally precious.

In this situation, the first thing I must do is become stronger; exacting revenge on that woman. Though the majority of the Spider Clan would lose their lives due to the Queen of the North, it meant that shell become stronger than all of them. I wasnt sure, but if she could accomplish it, then so can I.

I stared at the weapon which I stole from that woman.

[Cursed Voice.]

[It is a weapon too vague to be called a weapon or a dagger. It is a weapon made by a Siren who initially lived in the depths of the sea. She forged it with her own scales in favor of a loved one from a race of Humans. Whenever her sword is used to attack, a clear, clean sound as beautiful as Sirens voice. But after time passed and the human used this sword to kill Sirens, a bad, fuzzy sound had begun to emanate. There is a passive effect that reduces the enemys abilities when exposed to this sound.]

[Dexterity +3, Mana +2]

Fortunate. It wasnt just simply good. It was where one considers it to be of the highest grade.

I observed my body was becoming heavy, perceived it was due to her Unique Ability, but now realise that it was a debuff effect from this weapon. I began to slowly recollect the image of that woman in my head.

Revenge

That twisted, short-haired woman Before she falls under the hand of the Queen of the North, I will make her die painfully before me.

I bit my lip. I had to become stronger than ever before as I am still a weakling on this Continent. This time, I was fortunate to survive, luckily with the help of Green Goblin.

But there is still about one year left until clan independence. If I continue to remain in this state, it is impossible to protect my tribe. If my strength was equal to that of Black Spear, or just below Green Goblin, she wouldnt have been able to approach me so boldly and recklessly like then. Not only would I have been able to return alive, but I could have also safeguarded my clansmen as well.

During this one year, I needed to be strong enough to be at least, on the level of Black Spear to protect both my body and clan.

As such, time had slowly passed.

For instance, fortunately I had succeeded in returning Ahyeon safely to the city. Thanks to the fierce encounter between Green Goblin and the Spider, a few survivors were luckily able to escape the place. Since the rescue squad dispatched from Legius were all killed by the Spider, it was apparently a miracle that they had returned alive. I made Ahyeon re-enter the cave from the entrance we dug and made her pretend to be safely rescued as she crawled out.

Ahyeon did not want to return after seeing my wounds, but it was an inevitable choice.

It was more advantageous to have her collect and synthesize the information with the Humans, before sending them to me. Since I did not have much information regarding the Spider Clan in the past, I needed information only Ahyeon could bring.

After a few days, I had received some useful information.

[Savior-nim]

[Speak.]

[Yesthough all I heard were rumors from the outside, but I have roughly discovered her identity. The womans name is Park Hyeri, and I was told that she was originally active in the East. I am still investigating why she is here in the West, but the most important conclusion I could make is that her behavior pattern is simply due to fickleness]

[I see]

Since she was the one I did not remember in my memories, it meant that more sensitive, private information in relation to the Spider Clan was hard to obtain, no less for a third-rate swordsman like me in the past. If there were people that knew, they would definitely be famous one or two famous Elites at the most.

[Is there anything else?]

[YesYes! I dont know if this is helpful information, but she is 22 years old. It has been six years since she has come to this Continent, and exactly three years after since she killed all of her clan members before fleeing the city. I did not find out exactly what has gone on before that, but it now seems she has joined the Spider Clan roughly about a year ago.]

[I am also investigating her Unique Ability, and I will need a bit more time to make enquiries about her. I have also heard that the city will start hunting for her personally, once a bit more information has been gathered.]

[Mm well done.]

[No surely not! Savior-nim. PlPlease recover your body well..]

As if she had suffered quite a shock from my injured self, she would occasionally send this remark.

After disconnecting, I began to walk.

My body wasnt in a state to train right away, so I was concentrating on restoring my body, which the others were doing likewise.

Anyways, it was the 20th day since Mev had started fasting, and ten days since Hark and Gark had started fasting. I decided to find them and see how they were holding up. Ra
