Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2588

Throughout history, only Alfredo and the successive masters of Swordhaven Keep had the qualifications and knowledge to enter this place.

He searched the lakebed again and again, his anger boiling while his heart sank like a stone. The divine sword was truly gone, and he could not even wrap his head around it.

Who on earth had the ability to pull out Godslayer? Unless it was a martial god-level expert who came here personally to do it.

Then again, even a martial god might not succeed. After all, Alfredo was now a martial God himself, just one step away from ascension. Yet, every time he had tried to draw the Godslayer, he had been met with violent rejection and chaos.

Through years of careful investigation and research, Alfredo had finally confirmed that pulling out Godslayer did not require absolute martial force. Rather, it required a certain qualification to make the sword spirit recognize a master.

For a time, he had been rejected by the divine sword precisely because he lacked this qualification. But now, Alfredo had finally found a way to make the sword spirit submit.

Yet, the divine sword was gone.

Turning around, Alfredo's figure shot through the lake bottom like a massive python.

Enormous waves immediately churned upward. However, he did not care about any of that. When he emerged from the underwater passage and returned to Sword Lake, the first thing he did was unleash three sword strikes at the calm lake below.

The three intersecting sword beams finally met at the lake bottom.

Like a small earthquake, they directly collapsed the secret passage leading to Sword Pool. Even so, the rage in Alfredo's heart had not dissipated much.

"Onyx and Ivory, come see me immediately!"

Alfredo said coldly, "The divine sword is gone, stolen by some unknown thief. I've painstakingly waited all these years, only to have someone else reap the benefits overnight. The Eastern Regions are vast, but my power is enough to destroy everything. Whoever took my sword won't live to see another day."

After Onyx and Ivory received their orders, they immediately gathered people and launched a massive search of Swordhaven Keep. They did not spare the outer city either.

Meanwhile, Alfredo said nothing more and moved at over 100 meters per step, returning to his wooden cabin in the blink of an eye. His expression inside the cabin was dark.

The divine sword must have been stolen just recently. In other words, searching Swordhaven Keep was the smartest course of action.

The thief, having obtained the divine sword, could not possibly have left the grounds of Swordhaven Keep yet. That meant he still had a chance to recover what was lost.

Whoever had taken the Godslayer, once caught, would be split clean in half.
