I have made up my mind. I will never regret this decision!\" The blood-soaked woman's expression was unshakably resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the Third Princess did not attempt to dissuade her further. She could sense the unwavering determination radiating from this woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is your name?\" the Third Princess asked earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sophia! My name is Sophia!\" The blood-soaked woman repeated her name with conviction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sophia, if there's nothing else, come with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, the Third Princess turned and left Ironblood City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophia quickly followed but paused to look back at Alan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alan, my name is Sophia. Thank you for saving my life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan gave her a serious nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Isabella ran up from where she had been standing with Carter, her eyes scanning Alan from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan smiled and patted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fine. Those Sacred Battle Legion mages from the Barton Kingdom were just putting on a show. Once they saw the Third Princess, they retreated immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella finally breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, there were so many mages back there. I was scared out of my mind. Don't ever be so reckless again, at least not without taking me with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan, feeling a pang of guilt, replied softly, \"I won't do it again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go. The Charlie No. 1 is about to depart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Third Princess gone, Ironblood City quickly returned to a semblance of normalcy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan and Isabella boarded the Charlie No. 1 train again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the way the other passengers looked at Alan was entirely different now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Third Princess had dominated the spotlight earlier, drawing everyone's attention to herself, now that she was gone, the focus naturally shifted back to Alan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Alan's solo stand against the Barton Kingdom's mage army had left a deep impression on everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was his courage or strength, he far surpassed his peers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And most notably, Alan had earned the Third Princess's praise, standing as the sole individual rewarded amidst the many punishments she had handed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had even invited him to become the captain of her guard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though no one understood why he declined, Alan had made an impression that would not soon be forgotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When many were eager to approach and build a relationship with him, Alan had already slipped into his cabin, avoiding further interaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, the Third Princess's invitation was wonderful. Did you decline because of me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in their cabin, Isabella spoke with a trace of melancholy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Alan had always fought with their family and that the military would have been a great fit for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Third Princess's support, his strength and status could only grow exponentially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lioncrest Academy is an excellent place too. How can you say that?\" Alan reassured her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, when will I level up? Will I ever be as strong as you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella's bright eyes sparkled with hope and longing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her like this, Alan's heart ached. Gently, he said, \"Once your strange illness is cured, you'll be even stronger than me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really, brother?\" Isabella's eyes widened. \"Will I be able to protect you one day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan nodded. \"Of course. If you can endure such a bizarre illness, learning magic will be child's play for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Encouraged by his words, Isabella gave a confident smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The siblings chatted for a while as night fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Charlie No. 1 sped along, the once noisy train grew quiet. Isabella eventually drifted off to sleep under Alan's care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan, however, took a deep breath and entered a meditative state—one akin to venturing into the depths of hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earlier confrontation with the Barton Kingdom's Sacred Battle Legion had left a suffocating impression of death on Alan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the Third Princess's timely arrival, he might not have survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was an experience he never wanted to repeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, despite his reckless decision, he had gained something invaluable:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Blade Spirit].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a breakthrough he had not achieved despite years of arduous training as a swordsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're lucky,\" a voice interrupted. \"[Blade Spirit] is immensely powerful. If you can master it, it's a technique that rivals the strength of a magus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed woman appeared in his mindscape, her expression tinged with curiosity as she observed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, magi focused on unraveling the mysteries of the elements and refining their spiritual power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magi, after all, stood at the pinnacle of existence, renowned as the strongest class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Becoming a top-tier magus guaranteed a place anywhere in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan, however, had not awakened his magus potential during his life-or-death battle. Instead, he had emerged as a swordsman of remarkable talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the woman spoke, Alan opened his eyes and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder, what makes [Blade Spirit] so unique? Why does it seem to have limited impact on my combat power?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a swordsman, he had always known of [Blade Spirit], but his understanding of it was superficial at best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had truly grasped it, he felt faster and more precise with his strikes but saw no other noticeable changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among swordsmen, it was said, \"Without [Blade Spirit], one cannot be called a true swordsman,\" highlighting its importance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed woman looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know why Duke Alice is so powerful?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of hesitation, Alan replied, \"Because of her unique constitution?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman nodded and then shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her constitution plays a part, but when she fought you, she didn't rely on it. Most of her strength came from her mastery of blade aura.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blade aura?\" Alan squinted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swordsmen and blademasters were somewhat similar classes, so Alan knew a bit about blade aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For blademasters, blade aura was a pivotal milestone—those who mastered it were prodigies, while those who did not often stagnated for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blade aura and [Blade Spirit] are fundamentally the same,\" the woman explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan nodded thoughtfully. \"An unshakable belief?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly,\" she affirmed. \"Each individual's conviction varies, shaping their unique blade aura or [Blade Spirit]. You must discover and strengthen yours. This is also an opportunity to truly understand yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only by knowing yourself can you gauge your moves with precision in battle—when to advance and when to retreat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan realized that his difficulty in fully utilizing [Blade Spirit] stemmed from an emptiness in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lacked the resolve he had possessed when facing the Sacred Battle Legion—his will to fight to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the woman's guidance, Alan felt as though a veil had been lifted from his mind, plunging him into deep reflection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the black-robed woman said no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In both magic and other disciplines, a teacher could only guide the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest depended on the student's fortune and insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan's potential was undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could make significant strides in swordsmanship, it would greatly benefit his future as a magus as well.\u003C\u002Fp>",1343,"2026-06-06T15:56:16.256Z",1,"novelbin.me","95b13cc354a6bbbac2392f30903e36b3c7a7fec791a12a5f2eceb33ac42ee812","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-491","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-489",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
