Chapter 71 Chapter: 004 Preliminary Test Part II (2/2)
This man was called Vridus, he was the High Secretary of finances of the Behemoth Empire and a slave dealer that trained ophans into his own special division of assasins. Twelve years ago, Keith was part of the Bellman clan, one of the three greatest empires on the Behemoth Empire. At that time, Vridus was a friend of his clan and had a smugling contract with his father. Two years later the Emperor dicovered about the smugling and had his clan killed. As for Vridus, not only he was unafected, as he ended up taking Keith who was now a orphan with him because of his special race and abillities.
Hearing what Vridus said, Keith's eyes showed panic like he had forgot that all of this was an illusion. The reason for this was because the Duke Rowan's youngest daughter was his childhood friend and his first love. Then Keith kneeled before Vridus and said in a panicked voice: ”No! i won't do this, you can ask me anything but don't make me kill Luna, please.”
But this only made Vridus feel even angrier as he lifted his right leg giving Keith a straight kick on the head.
”You are realy trash! this time i will forgive you and send another one to kill her. But the next time, I will cut all your body parts and let you have a taste of death by dismembering as i torture you.”
Vridus's recklessly laughed with his face full of mockery:”And you still care about that little girl? She is the daughter of an Duke and has one of the most rare spiritual bodies. Even if i she lives, you won't have a chance with her in the future. You are a You're nothing but a toad lusting after a swan's flesh!”
Keith's face twitched as veins began protruding on his forehead one by one. Even if whatever the Vridus had said in front of him was actually his own memories, he was now completely lost in the illusion. He had fallen in too deep.
Then Vridus looked to one of the boys. The one he was looking at had dozens of scars on his face and his eyes give off killing intent and insanity.
”Shark, can i leave this mission to you?”
Hearing Vridus would give a chance to kill someone,his killing intent was amplified by several times: ”Yes Master, i would love to do this mission. It's been so long since I've killed someone.”
”Okay then. Take this, it's a dagger enchanted with destruction magic, you only need to touch her with it and her body will dissolve in a few seconds.” Vridus gave a dagger to Shark who disapeared in the dark.
Keith who was in panic about everything, has come to an realization. 'Wait all of this has happened before... I remember now, i was in a test right now.But even if this is an illusion i will never let anything happen with Luna. Even if she doesn't remember me i will never forget her! And i will continue to strive to the peak, this is my path!'
Something seemed to change inside him as several green tatoos covered his body.
His cultivation technique was different from the others. It is a relic from his clan, it's name was [Seven Heavens Art] it was an cultivation technique which only Seven Realms, he was only at the peak of the Second Heaven which was comparable to the fourth realm and now he finaly broke the barrier to the Third Heaven and unlocked the Heaven's Apostle form.
Seeing the strange transformation happening with Keith, Vridus took a step back as Keith walked closer with an smile on his face.
