Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 190: Breaking Through to the Grandmaster Rank
Chapter 190: Breaking Through to the Grandmaster Rank
Kairos was stunned by her straightforward answer, while Ren only stared at her without saying a single word.
"I don’t accept you." Kairos still considered her an enemy because she had represented Nafield City in duels.
"Why are you behaving like I’m in love with you?" Diana scoffed, "I like your leader, not you."
"Leader, don’t accept her. I’m sure she is a bad woman who only falls in love with handsome men. Women like her are dirty and untrustworthy, always chasing after power and looks instead of sincerity." Kairos spoke ill of her because he didn’t want a deceitful woman to ruin Ren’s life.
"What do you mean by dirty? Yes. I do like handsome men, but that doesn’t mean I’m impure." She turned to Ren and continued, "Handsome, if you don’t believe me, we can go to a hotel right now. You will know that I’m still a virgin and pure."
"Bullshit!" Kairos stated, "It’s impossible for a woman like you to be pure and a virgin when you openly admit to liking handsome men. I’m sure there have been plenty of good-looking men in your life before."
Diana gritted her teeth in frustration because Kairos had defeated her in the argument.
"I will let it slide because you are his subordinate." She would have killed Kairos on the spot if he were not Ren’s subordinate because she hated being cornered in a debate.
Ren, who had been watching them debate, let out a sigh before finally rising to his feet.
"Handsome, where are you going?" Diana stood up as well.
Ren didn’t answer her question and immediately used the Void Steps skill, disappearing from their sight and reappearing on the terrace of his house.
"Hm? Where did he go?" Diana said in surprise.
"Don’t bother looking for him. it’s useless!" Kairos knew that Ren was using the Void Steps skill because he had seen Ren using it a few times.
"You!" Diana turned to him with an intense gaze. "Tell me everything about him, from what he likes to what he has been doing recently."
She was not going to give up easily because finding someone like Ren was extremely difficult.
Perhaps it was even impossible to find someone like him because he was perfect, handsome, powerful, and an Aeris.
"I don’t want to." Kairos was not afraid of her, so he refused without thinking twice.
Diana didn’t chase him immediately when she saw him leaving.
Instead, she touched her chin and thought of something.
’Wait. This annoying man said he was their leader, then...’
An idea popped up in her mind.
"Hey, don’t leave! I still have a few questions for you." Without waiting for another second, she chased him, hoping her idea could bring her closer to Ren.
’I’m not a woman who gives up easily. No matter what happens, I will make him mine.’

Xander and Joshua were currently talking in a private room of a restaurant. A feeling of anger still lingered in their hearts because they had lost a duel against Nightshire City.
They even lost two of their generals, causing the flames of anger to burn even wilder.
"So, what should we do now?" Joshua didn’t want to give up on the mine because he had lost countless soldiers in his attempt to seize it from Nightshire City.
Xander tapped his right index finger on the table before finally speaking, "It seems like I have to use my trump card."
"Trump card? What do you mean?" Jushua asked curiously.
"My sister." Xander responded, "She is King Aldric’s concubine. If she asks him to issue a royal decree stating that the mine belongs to us, Nightshire City will have no choice but to obey."
The Luvrela region was divided into two territories: the north and the south.
The north region was ruled by the Tuiziya Kingdom, while the south region was governed by the Veneian Kingdom.
Nightshire City, Nafield City, and Icria City were under the jurisdiction of the Tuiziya Kingdom, so they had to listen to their king.
"Will the king listen to your sister?" Joshua doubted King Aldric would listen to his sister because she was only a concubine.
Xander chuckled before finally speaking, "You underestimate her influence. She is King Aldric’s favorite concubine. He listens to her more than anyone else."
"Really?" Joshua’s eyes shone brightly because the possibility of them seizing the mine from Nightshire City was much higher than before.
"Yes." Xander responded as he nodded, "One royal decree and the mine will be ours."
"Haha." Xander and Joshua laughed happily.
Shortly after that, they used communication magic to contact Xander’s sister.
Elyse Mccoy.
A breathtakingly beautiful woman with long pink hair and red eyes appeared in the magical projection.
She raised an eyebrow when she saw Joshua standing beside her brother.
"Hmm?" Elyse almost failed to control her emotions when she saw them together because she knew the relationship between the two cities. "Xander, why are you with Joshua? Don’t you hate him to the bone?"
"Sister, we are allies now." Xander was not surprised by her reaction because he had guessed it before.
"Allies? I thought that word would never come out of your mouth in this lifetime." Xander always spoke ill of Nafield City, so she thought they would be enemies forever. "So, why are you calling me?"
"Sister, we need your help." Xander quickly explained their situation.
"I see." She was a smart woman, so she understood their intentions right away. "So, you want to use my relationship with King Aldric to take the mine from Nightshire City?"
"Yes." Xander admitted immediately. "Sister, we have tried to seize the mine on our own, but Nightshire City has someone powerful now, so all our efforts have ended in failure."
"Someone powerful?" Elyse’s brows furrowed. "Who is this person, and how strong is he?"
"His name is Ren. His Warrior class is at the Master rank, and his Mage class is at 3-star." Xander told her that Ren had recently killed countless of their soldiers.
They were powerless against him because he possessed many deadly skills and powerful magic.
"Aeris?" Elyse was shocked because there was no Aeris in the capital.
"Sister, we need your help," Xander pleaded earnestly. "Please persuade King Aldric to grant us the mine. I promise we will reward you generously."
"Yes, Lady Elyse," Joshua added. "We promise to give you a generous gift in return."
"Sure." Xander was her brother, so she agreed instantly.
"Thank you, sister!" Xander said happily.
"Thank you, lady Elyse." Joshua was also delighted, but he suppressed it.
"I will inform you of the king’s decision later," Elyse said, "In the meantime, stay quiet and don’t provoke Nightshire City."
"Understood." Xander and Joshua responded in unison.
Shortly after that, she ended the call.

Ren’s House, Backyard.
Ren was currently sitting in a lotus position and absorbing the spiritual energy. He didn’t absorb his beast cores because he had turned them into health potions.
His house was equipped with an Ethereal Essence Gathering Formation, so low-rank beast cores were meaningless to him.
’I will not stop until I break through to the Grandmaster rank today.’
His Warrior class EXP was 30,570/31,250, so he was only a step away from leveling up.
After absorbing spiritual energy for several hours, he felt his dantian thump. His dantian expanded slightly in size, and a crack appeared on the surface.
*Crack...Crack...
Crack lines spread on his dantian.
Not only that, but spiritual energy began to swirl around his body as well.
After his dantian cracked completely, his energy exploded, scattering the gravel around him and making the green grass sway.
’I did it! I finally broke through to the Grandmaster rank!’
His new dantian was only slightly bigger, but it could store much more spiritual energy than before.
’So, this is what it feels like to be a warrior at the Grandmaster rank, huh?’
The world was much clearer now.
Not only that but when the wind bushed against his body, he could also feel the energy that flowed through it.
’Should I try to break through to 4-star now?’
His Mage class was also nearing its limit, so he believed he could break through to 4-star soon.
’I think I will do it tomorrow.’
The sun was setting, so he decided to take a bath immediately because Scarlett and Lexie would return soon.
After taking a shower, Ren decided to cook dinner for his women since it had been a while since he last cooked for them.
"Done!" a soft smile spread across his face as he saw several delicious foods on the dining table.
’Now, I only need to wait for them.’
He walked out of the dining room and waited for them on the terrace.
Several minutes later, Scarlett and Lexie returned.
’Hm?’
The duo was shocked to see him waiting for them because he had never waited for them on the terrace before.
"Ren!" Scarlett ran toward him with a happy smile on her face.
When she was close to him, she jumped into his arms without thinking twice.
"Welcome home, Scarlett." Ren smiled as he carried her.
Scarlett cupped his face and kissed his lips. "I’m home, Ren."
Without putting Scarlett down, Ren turned to Lexie and asked, "Where is my kiss for waiting so patiently?"
Lexie gave him a peck on the cheek before finally entering home.
"Not on the lips?" he uttered.
"Later." Lexie headed to the dining room because she was thirsty.
’Food?’
She stopped her footsteps right after she stepped into the dining room.
"I had free time earlier, so I cooked dinner for us." Ren said as he stood next to him.
"It looks delicious!" Scarlett rushed to the dining table immediately.
"Let’s eat now." Ren uttered.
To his surprise, Lexie cupped his face and kissed his lips.
"Thank you, Ren." Lexie expressed the happiness within her by kissing her.
Ren’s face broke into a smile. "Let’s eat now."
"Un." Lexie nodded.
