章 81: LITTLE OF WORLDS LAW

Rose could not believe the current situation.

Rose was a very talented girl. Despite her father being a normal city guard and her mother a village woman that her father met in his early years, Rose was born with an incredible talent.

When she was five, she touched a sword for the first time. From that instant, she fell in love with the sword. While other girls played with dolls, she trained with a sword. She liked to defend the other children when they were bullied and had a great sense of justice.

Soon, the other kids began to call her 'Guardian Angel'.

Rose loved that nickname. As such, she trained even harder to protect her friends.

When her father saw her passion for the sword, he decided to teach her swordsmanship. He did it in a whim, and to be honest, he thought she would stop playing with swords when she got bored of it.

However, she never got bored.

When she was seven, and under the astonished gazes of her parents, she broke to the second layer of mana.

Her parents were surprised. They never taught her any cultivation technique. Instead, Rose relied just on her swordsmanship alone to temper her mana and open her own path.

When she turned eleven, she broke through the third layer of mana.

At twelve, an old mage saw her talent and taught her magic. The mage was nothing special, just a talentless old man that only managed to reach the sixth layer of mana despite dedicating all his life to magic.

Instantly, Rose found her second passion.

Magic.

If Rose loved the sword, she admired magic. The ability to manipulate the world's rules and shape the world at her will, for Rose, was highly attractive.

Even the mage did not expect that Rose's talent for magic would be so great. He taught her only the most basic spells, but in less than one month, she had deduced the magic formulas of more than ten different spells.

At fourteen, she broke through the fourth layer of mana.

At sixteen, she comprehended a little of the world's laws. She grasped the concept of [Purification], the ability to return any phenomenon to its original state.

And now, at seventeen, she was just a step away from breaking through the fifth layer.

But for the first time in her life, she met a monster even more frightening than her.

For the first time, Rose doubted her talent. The people that praised her as the greatest talent the empire had seen in one thousand years surely had never met this monster.

Not many knew about it, but Rose once faced a sixth-layer magic beast and defeated it easily. However, facing the fourth- layer prince, her strength seemed insignificant.

Every time his sword moved, Rose felt the world tightening around her, suppressing her movements and forcing her into a passive state.
