"I don't know how but you did the unthinkable. You broke the curse and with that, you have the potential to turn the tides. Now your only duty is to grow quietly and prudently till you can be of use on a battle of this scale."

As Dante heard this a slight frown appeared on his face.

Dante couldn't imagine how strong these beings are with his current strength but he knew it wasn't something he wouldn't be reaching anytime soon.

"So how long would I have to wait before I can become of use." Asked Dante 

"Well, typically your race would reach maturity at around 500+ years old but looking at your talent it may be achievable in just 300 years."

As Dante heard this he froze

"300 years!" Said Dante in disbelief 

"You mean I'll be constantly under threat by a being that can obliterate my existence for 300 years!"

"No my child, that wouldn't be the case?" Said the voice

Like I said before, I may not be able to defeat my adversary but I can hide things from him. When the time comes I will place my blessing on you to hide you from his gaze. In the process it will inevitably have to seal your bloodline to its surpassed state again but that is a little price to pay to hide from that one. When the time comes and your body reaches maturity i will release bloodline seals again.``

As soon as Dante heard this countless questions erupted in his heart.

Bloodline seal?

How will this affect his strength?

Will there be any side effects?

But just as Dante was about to ask his question he felt the entire space around him begin to shake.

As soon as this happened the panicked voice of the Mother Tree sounded in his mind.

"Child there is still much that I want to talk to you about but unfortunately there is no more time."

"The enemy is trying to interfere with and trace our connection so you must leave quickly. From now on it will be much more difficult for me to interfere and communicate with you but do not be afraid. You must continue to grow stronger joy only for yourself but for your entire race as well."

"I believe with your talent there will be nothing to worry about and remember my dear child,I will always be watching."

As soon as he heard those words, Dante saw the space around him shatter as he was blasted by a blinding wave of light.

The next time that Dante opened up his eyes he found himself back in the familiar planes of the elemental nexus realm.

'Was… was that a dream?' Thought Dante in disbelief.

But as if to prove his thoughts wrong Dante felt a throbbing pain in his heart as his arm suddenly burst with an emerald green glow as a searing pain ran across his right arm and chest. Fortunately, the Pain was only brief and within a matter of seconds it disappeared as if it was never there in the first place.

Confused, Dante checked his arm and was quickly surprised by what he saw.

Wrapping across the whole of his right arm was an incredibly detailed tattoo of a giant tree that seemed to stretch all the way up to his chest.

'Is this the seal' thought Dante?' 

Putting this thought to the test, Dante tried to inspire the same amount of power he had felt when he first removed the bloodline curse but no matter how he tried he felt something blocking his efforts.

As this was happening a faint emerald glow could be seen on his right arm proving Dante's guess was correct.

This strange tattoo was the seal that the Mother Tree had been talking about.

Realising the power he felt would be out of his reach for a long time, Dante couldn't help but sigh.

But he quickly cheered up again.

After all, it wasn't like his trip today was unproductive.

He had produced many suns inside of his acupoints greatly increasing his physical strength and his bloodline had also been lifted of its curse greatly increasing the purity and power of the moonlight energy he cultivated.

As Dante inspected his body he noticed something off.

It was his hair.

His hair Which had previously been white was now a platinum silver.

Although it wasn't glowing like when he had unlocked his bloodline it was still a drastic change from last time. And it wasn't just his hair that changed, his war ears had also changed becoming sharper and more elongated.

"Well, I guess I really look like an elf now." Said Dante with a light chuckle

"Come to think of it, I never got down to asking the Mother  Tree what the name of the race was." Thought Dante 

But after a brief moment of regret, Dante quickly moved on from the thought. After all, in the grand scheme of thighs, the name of the race wasn't really that important besides, The Tree Mother had said that they would meet again. He could always ask her that question when the time came. 

Now that he had finished getting started in the Celestial Galaxy refining art and even added on the extra benefit of lifting his bloodline curse, Dante decided it was finally time to leave the elemental nexus realm.

Suddenly a pair of crimson wings unfurled behind Dante, as his figure shot off into the distance

…..

As Dante left the elemental nexus realm, There was a faint nervousness that kept plaguing him that once he left the elemental nexus realm that being that could even make the Mother Tree feel fearful would quickly locate him and shatter him into oblivion.

Fortunately, Dante's fears were completely unfounded and his journey out of the elemental nexus realm went smoothly with the only thing being the glances being cast his way due to the sudden and rather strange changes in his hair colour but the people didn't take it too deeply.
