Under John's eloquent persuasion and sugar-coated barrage, Shadowcloud eventually, albeit reluctantly, forgave him.
As John had anticipated, Shadowcloud indeed came to teach him, specifically, a mystical technique coveted by countless awakeners - the "Godslayer Blade."
Turning to serious matters, Shadowcloud's demeanor changed, adopting a grave tone.
"Learning the Godslayer Blade isn't something that can be achieved overnight.
It requires a considerable amount of time and effort.
Moreover, frequent use of the Godslayer Blade can inflict severe damage on your body," he cautioned.
His eyes briefly clouded with a touch of melancholy, "And this damage is irreparable. Are you sure you want to learn it?"
Without hesitation, John affirmed, "Of course, I want to learn!"
The power of the Godslayer Blade was evident to all; it could unleash strength far beyond one's level in an instant.
