Robert took out a red invitation letter with golden trims and handed it to the church’s staff.
Checking the invitation Robert gave him, the staff revealed a gentle smile.
Then, he pointed inside.
“Dear believer, this is a VIP invitation letter. You have a chance to pull out the Divine Sword in the Stone.”
Robert immediately attracted the envy of the crowd. They were all holding ordinary invitations. Only those with VIP invitations had the opportunity to pull out the Divine Sword in the Stone. They could only admire it from the outside.
Robert walked directly towards the huge rock said to house the legendary sword.
The huge rock was placed on a grandiose platform.
A flight of steps that was dozens of meters long connected the platform and the ground.
When he realized that many people were looking at him with envy, Robert’s heart swelled up with emotion.
No matter what kind of world he was in, status and connections could get a person a lot of benefits.
Fortunately, he had received the VIP invitation from senior sister Kael.
Otherwise, he would be part of the crowd that was admiring him right now.
Robert climbed up the steps and stood in front of the seemingly ordinary stone. If the system had not notified him that the Divine Sword in the Stone was really inserted in the stone, he might have thought that this was a joke from the previous owner of the Divine Sword in the Stone, just like many other skeptics.
“System, what should I do?”
Robert did not know how to activate the bloodline of the holy item — the Divine Sword in the Stone.
[ User, please put your hands together and make a pious prayer. This will make the Divine Sword in the Stone recognize you. ]
Robert did not hesitate and immediately followed the system’s instructions. He put his hands together and closed his eyes, praying in a devout manner.
At this moment, in the eyes of outsiders, they all saw Robert as one of them, one of the devout believers of the Lord.
As if his prayers were heard, Robert suddenly felt as if he was being watched by something.
At this moment, Robert had not noticed that a long sword that was shimmering with holy light was closely assessing him.
[ User, do you wish to use the novice reward package to awaken the bloodline related to the Divine Sword in the Stone? ]
Robert nodded, but he immediately thought of something.
He asked worriedly, “When the bloodline awakens, there won’t be any anomalies, right?”
As a person who was well-versed in web novels, Robert read that there would usually be anomalies occurring at such times. If he awakens his bloodline now and something happens, it would be troublesome to deal with. With his bronze-level realm, he might even be captured and dissected by various interest groups, much less keep the holy item for himself.
That was why Robert asked worriedly.
[ There will be a strange phenomenon occurring. However, this system can help the user to suppress this strange phenomenon so that no one will be able to notice it. ]
“Then help me suppress the strange phenomenon. I don’t want anyone to know that I was the one who pulled out the Divine Sword in the Stone.”
The bloodline awakening did not even take a few seconds.
Whoosh!
Robert’s surroundings suddenly changed!
He did not know where he was.
The sky was very dark and the land was barren. No matter where he looked, there were no signs of life at all.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a volcano erupted in the distance. The volcanic ash shrouded the skies, causing the world to become even darker. Scorching hot magma flowed onto the ground, turning into streams of fire.
At this moment, miserable wails of agony rang out from around him.
Only then did Robert see clearly that he was in a land of misery. The magma was slowly swallowing up the mountains of corpses under his feet.
At this moment, the earth suddenly cracked. A sinkhole that was more than ten meters wide opened up. The crack was so deep that one could not see the bottom. As countless creatures fell into the crack, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the sky. A gigantic meteor was flying straight towards him.
“Boom!”
The moment the meteor made contact with the ground, the whole world was completely shattered…
“What the hell is this?!”
Robert trembled as he desperately grabbed his chest.
This doomsday scene in front of him had caught him off guard. He could not accept this.
If this was the future of this world…
If he was the only one left, the loneliness would kill him.
“Huff… Huff… Huff…”
He breathed heavily.
Robert forced himself to calm down.
At this moment, a very pleasant female voice that he had never heard before rang out in his ear.
“Robert, come to me!
“Robert, I’ve finally met you!
“Robert, let me see you quickly!
“Robert, what are you hesitating for? Come over quickly!”
The other party’s words became more and more urgent.
Robert was caught off guard.
His vision blurred, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of a grandiose platform. A ten-meter-long flight of stairs pointed in the direction he wanted to go.
Atop of the high platform, a long sword was shining brightly with holy light. It was so dazzling that it made people unable to look directly at it. The sword was inserted straight into the high platform, quickly attracting Robert’s attention.
“What are you waiting for?”
As soon as it finished speaking, Robert stepped up the stairs subconsciously.
His body was suddenly enveloped by a circle of warm green light.
Under this circle of green light, Robert felt his blood all over his body jolt. Not only his blood, but even his bones and the depths of his soul emitted a joyful sound, as if he was being baptized and reborn.
Robert’s proceeded up the steps at an even faster pace.
A moment later, he reached the highest level.
Robert felt that his body and soul had been reborn, and his entire body felt a sense of relaxation that he had never experienced before.
He did not know if this was an illusion.
Robert saw countless thumb-sized fairies with transparent wings and pointy ears. They were holding flower baskets in their hands as they constantly sprinkled beautiful petals on his head, as if they were congratulating him on his rebirth.
“Robert, what are you waiting for? Quickly pull me out!”
Only then did Robert react.
“So you’re the sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone?”
“So you already know. Hehe, not bad! Yes, it’s me, I’m the Divine Sword in the Stone. So, Robert, don’t hesitate anymore! Quickly pull me out!
Robert walked forward.
“Your wish is my command.”
Robert gripped the hilt of the Divine Sword in the Stone with both hands. At this moment, the little fairies with transparent wings started to circle around him as if they were cheering for him.
Robert revealed a confident smile. He realized that he did not need to expend much effort to pull the Divine Sword in the Stone out from the high platform.
Sure enough, Robert with barely any strength, the Divine Sword in the Stone was pulled out.
Those little fairies happily revolved around him, as if they were celebrating his success.
Boom!
However, just as Robert pulled out the Divine Sword in the Stone, he seemingly felt the sheer power of this legendary sword. At this moment, a huge shockwave had seemingly rippled out throughout the supernatural world!
