Blistering Flame Arrows!

Faytahlia looked Eren up and down before speaking.

"You know what I want. I want to know how you awakened your spiritual roots. After all, I'm the one who determined that they were unawakened, hence the reason why I made your father betroth you to me."

Eren was shocked upon hearing such news. Even though he had a strong soul which allowed him to remember more older memories than the average person, he didn't remember the border count inspecting him when he was born.

'Did she test me the moment I was born? If so then that explains why I don't remember it...' Eren was still shocked as he responded.

"I-I found a small treasure! It awakened my spiritual roots, that's all!" He hastily said. It was almost as if he was trying to let the border count know he was lying by the way he sounded.

She only stared at him for a moment before letting go of him. She began walking back into the forest.

"I don't know what type of secret you're hiding, Little Eren, but if it's even somewhat significant, I hope you know I'll try to uncover it at any costs. I'm the border count after all, so I naturally must know any and everything happening within the border."

Faytahlia's voice contained a small hint of killing intent in it, as if she was talking to an enemy. Eren's heart sank when he felt the killing intent.

After he couldn't feel her presence anymore, Eren quickly made his way back to the manor. There, he discovered Erwin and Lydia sitting at the table.

Normally, Erwin and Moriya would be engaging in their nightly activities by now, but Erwin was strangely sitting at the table.

Eren quickly approached the two out of curiosity.

"Father, third sister, why are you two sitting at the table?" He asked. Erwin only glanced at him for a moment and then at Lydia. He let out a sigh before speaking.

"Eren, my son, your sister Lydia, after eating the azure spirit apple has finally broken through to the Iron-Grade. She's now a certified Iron-Grade weapon cultivator!" Erwin said.

His past expression that indicated he was troubled had completely disappeared as if it was a mere facade. Moriya came from the back of the manor, specifically from her and Erwin's room wearing proper clothes.

'Even mother is wearing proper clothes at such a time? This is definitely a grand situation!' Eren thought to himself as he quickly sat down at the table.

He observed his third sister, Lydia, and noticed her hidden but excited expression. Underneath the table, she was grasping her bow with all her strength.

"Little Eren, thank you! Without that spirit apple, I wouldn't have become an Iron-Grade weapon cultivator until a few months later!" Lydia exclaimed.

Moriya suddenly placed her hands on the table and said, "Little Eren, we will go to Thick Peach Town tomorrow in order to sell these golden apples. I hope that's alright with you?"

Eren firmly nodded with a bright smile on his face. This sudden event had erased the anxiousness and tension he felt when he encountered Faytahlia earlier...

"Nghhhhh!" Eren stretched so hard that he accidentally fell off of the bed. He hit the floor pretty hard, which woke him up completely.

His entire body trembled when he stretched. It was more magical of a feeling than eating a spirit apple!

"Oh right, were visiting Thick Peach Town today! In that case..." Eren quickly stood upright and snatched his clothes from the maids that had just entered his room upon hearing him fall off the bed.

They had worried expressions on their faces but immediately exhaled sighs of relief when Eren moved around quite energetically.

They just hoped he hadn't hurt his head when he fell off the bed.

Eren quickly dressed himself, though a few things were off. The usual shirt and vest filled with cotton that choked the life out of him every day had been slightly loosened.

"I'll be damned if I choke to death or have a heat stroke!" He muttered under his breath before leaving the room, leaving the maids questioning what exactly they had just seen and heard.

"Did Young Master Eren just say what I think he said...?"

"Sh! You must've hurt your head this morning! Young Master Eren would never say such... things..."

Eren tiptoed through the manor and into the storage room downstairs near the panic room. There he found a few broken bows and multiple quilts of arrows.

'...If only I could bless multiple things at once... That would be so convenient.' Eren said. He held his head up as if he was waiting for something to magically appear.

[In fact, there are two functions to the Heavenly Blessing Ability. Heavenly Blessing and Multiple Heavenly Blessings! Multiple Heavenly Blessings can bless multiple things at once, but the chance of getting anything beyond Silver and Gold-Grade is low. As well as each thing affected by the Multiple Heavenly Blessings ability will be the same grade. The cooldown for each multiple blessing is 5 minutes.]

Eren's lips curled into a severely arched smile as he quietly danced inside the storage room. He even went so far as to hump the door frame, but after hearing a creak from the second floor, he was startled and went back to what he was doing.

He approached a quilt full of arrows and placed his hand above it.

'Bow to me... peasant!' He thought to himself before casting the Multiple Heavenly Blessing ability.

He made sure to close the storage room door before starting the process because the light was entirely too bright. Eren even staggered backward because of all the light that was emitted from the arrows.

Finally, after a full minute of excruciatingly bright lights piercing Eren's eyes, they subsided, leaving behind a grand aura that made Eren tremble.

He opened his eyes and looked at the arrows that went from wooden and dusty to shiny and refined!

Information regarding the quilt arrows immediately appeared.

[Blistering Flame Arrows] (x20)

[Grade: Bronze]

[These blistering flame arrows can set anything from dirt to bronze-grade stone on fire! The flames of these arrows have strengthened the arrows themselves, giving them the hardness of bronze-grade stone. If a person beneath or within Bronze-Grad is hit with one of these arrows, unless they have a bronze-grade water spell, then they'll burn to death.]
