Chapter 28 - A Deal With The Devil



Chapter 28: A Deal With The Devil

“You’re simply seeking death!!”

The great elder roared in madness, his entire being sank into an endless rage.

He had put in so much effort to nurture his next successor for so many years.

Yet in the end, Dreyer was dead. His throat was pierced by Shu Ke’s sword, and his face was filled with confusion and fear as he died.

It seemed that until the moment of his death, he still could not understand why Shu Ke dared to kill him.

Was Shu Ke not afraid that Dreyer’s grandfather would tear him into pieces?

Dreyer could not understand that because his thinking was different from Shu Ke’s.

‘What an idiot. Threatening a person who is completely capable of killing you in that kind of situation is truly seeking death.’

‘Since he will die anyway, why won’t he just kill you to make his death worthwhile?’

Lilia looked at Dreyer’s corpse with ridicule and disdain.

Such a foolish fellow, even if he did get in the Royal Academy, he definitely wouldn’t make it.

“Shu Ke, I want you dead!!”

The great elder, who was on the verge of going crazy, came before the arena. Before the mage who had constructed the arena could explain the magic behind it, the great elder had already smashed his fist heavily onto the arena.

Immediately, lightning flashed, and terrifying thunderclaps could be heard from every direction.

The great elder was a cultivator of Lightning Dou Qi and an expert Dou Spirit.

That one move immediately caused the surrounding area to be filled with thunderbolts.

After that, a huge crack appeared on the sturdy stone pillar. The great elder’s entire body was surrounded by lightning and his white hair fluttered even though there was no wind.

He was even more lion-like than the fourth elder.

Not in terms of appearance, but his aura.

He was like a raging lion.

“I want you dead!”

After so many years of hard work, his highly-valued grandson died in front of him just like that.

How could the great elder suppress the rage in his heart?

“Wow, the great elder of the Vincent family is really powerful. I have studied earth-type magic for over thirty years. This stone-made cage is an ordinary Dou Spirit. Even if two or three of them attacked at the same time, it would still take a few minutes to break it. Yet, he actually broke it with one strike?!”

The mage instructor at the side looked at the great elder with astonishment on his face. “No wonder after that one battle eighteen years ago, the name of the Vincent family had become more and more common in the kingdom. In addition, rumor says that the head of the Vincent family who was even stronger had devoted himself to cultivation. This family is indeed not to be underestimated.”

“It’s a pity that the prodigy – Shu Ke will die young, way before his powers could actually blossom.”

There were many prodigies in the land, but very few would be able to live to their peak.

This was the reason why prodigies were so rare.

From the mage instructor’s perspective, Shu Ke was one of them.

Since he had killed the great elder’s grandson, there was absolutely no chance for him to survive.

The academy wouldn’t offend one of the noblest families in the kingdom for the sake of a student who hadn’t officially entered the academy.

Since Shu Ke was also a member of the Vincent family, the outsiders had no reason to interfere with a family matter.

“Die young? I don’t think so.”

Lilia turned her head in the direction of the treasury as she spoke. “I have a feeling that someone has prepared for battle.”

“Wolf Sword Technique: Wolf Ghost Howl!”

Just as Lilia finished speaking, a wolf shadow suddenly rushed out from the direction of the Vincent family’s treasury and headed straight for the great elder.

“Toulon, are you going to turn against me?!”

He was about to kill Shu Ke and take revenge for his grandson.

But suddenly a man appeared out of the blue. Toulon’s strength wasn’t inferior to his, so the great elder didn’t dare to worsen the situation. He could only give up on the idea of killing Shu Ke and deal with Toulon instead.

“This kid is my disciple. Although I, as his master, have not taught him much, I can not watch him be killed in front of me!”

Toulon held a sharp sword that was emitting a faint blue light and protected Shu Ke who was behind him. Even when facing the great elder, Toulon did not back down.

“Teacher, I have troubled you.”

Shu Ke knew that he wasn’t exactly Toulon’s disciple.

However, as Toulon had helped him in the past and was also willing to help in this situation, Shu Ke was naturally grateful.

Moreover, Toulon had already taken the initiative to say that he was Shu Ke’s teacher. This meant that he was willing to help Shu Ke take care of these troublesome matters and become his support.

Therefore, Shu Ke took the opportunity to acknowledge Toulon’s identity as his teacher.

Moreover, the Wolf Sword Technique was given to him by Toulon and he had relied on it to avert danger several times. Therefore, it was reasonable for him to address Toulon as his teacher.

“Toulon, with your power as the highest of the Dou Spirit tier, as long as you open your mouth, many would rush to become your disciple. Why is there a need to be enemies with the entire Vincent family because of a demon contractor?”

A demon contractor was someone who signed a contract with the devil and obtained power from it.

Most of these people would be deceived by the devil in the end and become slaves of desire and power. They would do extremely dangerous things, even destroying a country would not be surprising.

Therefore, a demon contractor would kill almost every single living creature that is kind and gentle.

The words — demon contractor — never left the mouth of the great elder. He had to convince the others that Shu Ke was the right person to be killed, and then kill him for righteousness.

In this way, not only would Shu Ke be dead, but he would also be notoriously despised for thousands of years.

The great elder could only vent the anger in his heart through that.

One had to know that his grandson, the grandson he doted on the most, had died in Shu Ke’s hands. How could he not hold a grudge?

” I know better whether he is a demon contractor or not.”

Toulon looked at the great elder with a cold expression.

“I will make my own judgment about my disciple. Even if he really is a demon contractor, I should be the one to take action, not you!”

“Toulon!”

The great elder could not contain his anger when he heard this. The other members of the Elder Council stood behind the great elder at that moment.

There were a total of nine elders, which meant that there were nine Dou Spirit tier experts.

This was the most powerful force of the Vincent family. Therefore, no matter how arrogant Toulon was, he did not dare to underestimate them.

“Toulon, I’ll give you one last chance. Do you want to give up?”

“No!”

Toulon did not hesitate and rejected the great elder directly.

“Alright! Vincent family Elder Council, for the sake of righteousness, let’s get rid of the scum and demon contractor – Shu Ke. Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed with no mercy!!”
