Right after the siege of the lemurian king and after his retreat, the goddess of water, Aquarius manifested her self above the kingdom of atlantis. A Gigantic Apparition of Water appears above the atlantean warriors. Many of the atlantean warriors, including king poseidon noticed such majestic apparition. Then aquarius appeared on it. She then started to talk.

Goddess Aquarius: Kingdom of Atlantis, My sons, Today I have witnessed your courage and strength, that not even the son my sister artemis would be able to trample you. Thus I, Aquarius, decided to bless all of you, my brave sons.

At that moment, the entire kingdom of atlantis was covered with dark clouds.

Goddess Aquarius: Feel the blessing my sons, and forever protect your kingdom.

What comes next was a heavy rain. It was not a normal rain, this rain gradually heals every wounds of all atlantean warrior. Many of them are wounded because of the fight, thanks to goddess blessing, they were all healed. Then the rain stopped and everyone was filled with rainbow dust. Everyone checked their status upon hearing the word blessings, everyone was quite shocked when they see what was changed. Everyone around that time opened up their mouth. All of them have receive different unique skills, a skills that could use in a fight. The giant apparition vanished in their eyes as the goddess bid his farewell. The king of atlantis, king poseidon raised his trident and everyone shouted with joy. They win, they were able to defend their territory, their kingdom, they were healed and now they received a blessing. Everyone was filled with joy. Right then General Clayford then head to the king.

General Clayford: My lord.

King Poseidon: Clayford, check every damaged establishment and casualties due to the seige report it to me tonight.

General Clayford: Yes my lord.

The general then went on his way to check every damaged that they have taken from the seige. Seeing that everyone is safe, king poseidon then flew back to his residence leaving the two generals and his people. General Hamilton commanded his platoon to escort the citizens of atlantis back to the kingdom as they were hiding at the tunnel of the snowy peak. That day, everyone hold a feast for they have successfully defended their kingdom from the beasts.

Outside the kingdom, jacob springer, was able to obtain a bag of monster core, as usual he wanted to use them for his cultivation. He then took some meat from the monsters dead body and carried it on his back. Then he took his time going back to his residence. On his way, he cant help but get a massive sigh. He lost his sword, it was with him for a very long time, and now he would need another one.

Jacob: Such a waste, ive lost my sword, i'll look out for anna this time and asked where to find a blacksmith

After an hour, jacob reached the kingdoms gate pass, there he noticed that part of the kingdom wall was destroyed and beside on it was a massive beast.

Jacob: A beast?

Jacob then went immediately to the castle gate guard and asked of what had happened. The guards tell him everything that has happened when he was gone.

Guard 1: Beasts from kingdom of Lemuria attacked us. They even have their king fight us.

Guard 2: Luckily, king poseidon is arround, it was a huge fight, every atlantean warrior, mages, wizards, hunters, archers participated.

Guard 1: Ofcourse, who would defend the kingdom but all of us.

Guard 2: It was a hard fought battle, the enemies have those beasts, giant beasts fought us, and they have swarm of flying monsters. We thought it was impossible. Thanks to the two generals uplifting our moral.

Jacob: I see. So in the end you were able to defend the kingdom.

The two guards nodded. They then let jacob in, at that time, theres only one thing that comes up on jacobs mind. The monster core. He needed all of those things for his cultivation so he comes up with a plan. Later, that night, while everyone was partying, jacob with his knife started his quest. He first took the monster core of the two massive snake, then he went to the corpse of the snowy mountain ape, right after that he checked the pile of corpse of winged beasts and finally the remaining giant beasts. He checked all of them one by one with out rest. It was already past midnight when finishes everything, he then went back to his residence carrying three sack of monster cores.

Jacob: It will be another hell

claimed by jacob, he knows how painful it is, absorbing monster core essences, but he knows too how beneficial it is. That night, while everyone is soundly sleeping after their feast, jacob absorbed all three sacks of monster core at once. At that moment, all pores on his body opened up, it then absorbed the monster core essences around him. Jacob could feel that his whole body is about to burst but he resisted. The monster core essences, cleansed out every impurities hidden inside his bones and cartiledges, nerves, internal organs, muscles and skin. In response to being cleansed. Pool of dark stinky blood spurted out in all of his body. He is like a fountain of blood. His whole body is being cleansed out. At that moment too, jacob not only could feel a hell like torture inside his body, but he could also feel that his blood is bursting one by one. Any normal person would definitely die at such event. But, jacob is fine, he accepted it and resisted the pain. The monster core essences gradually became more thiner after cleansing out jacobs body. Now that all of jacobs body are cleansed out from impurities what happens next was a heaven like feeling for jacob. All of his body parts are being nourished by the monster core, from skin, to muscles, to bones, to blood, to nerves, to the organs and finally his brain. It was a heavenly like feeling for jacob. It continue nourishing his whole body for a long period of time.

It was already morning when the monster core essences around jacobs body vanished. At that moment, jacob could feel that with his current condition,he could easily finish creating a tunnel in the snowy peak mountain with in a month. That hard rock would be easy for him to pummel. He then went out to try it out. Not far from his house was a massive boulder rock. Jacob then clenched his fist, and with his might fist he punched the giant boulder rock. What happens next make his mouth open wide. That hard massive boulder rock was pulverized by his fist.

Jacob: and with just my fist?plus i didnt even get exhausted at all.

Claimed by jacob, he pondered about it for awhile and right after that he had accepted the fact that he is strong now. He then went back inside his house and started doing his daily chore. He watered his crops and his plants, then he collected all of the dry leave arround his back yard. He then cleaned up his bloody house from the ruckus of cultivation with water and a map. Then right after that he went for a swim on the nearby river. After finishing all of those things, jacob went to the market to inquire anna of a blacksmith. On his way, he saw his carpenter friend commissioned by the kingdom on reestablishing the destroyed buildings. He say hi to them and greeted them back. The seige caused a widespread damaged that several establishment was destroyed. Luckily the kingdom has a reliable carpenters, and with their hands they will be able to re-established those buildings soon. Right after that, jacob went to the market to find anna.

Anna: Morning jacob, where have you been yesterday?

Jacob: Im at the south east

Jacob hesitated a bit, in the end he lied to anna and instead he tell him that he was in the south east together with the fisherman. Anna then tell him her sidestory of how the seige started and how were they doing as an evacuee. Jacob then nodded in response. They talk about it for several hours until finally jacob gets a chance to ask anna about the blacksmith.

Anna: I know one, go to this place and informed him of my name.

Jacob nodded. Anna then sketched it up for jacob. Right after that jacob bid his farewell to anna and went straight to the blacksmith.
