Chapter 289: Kaleidoscope Arcane Master, Advancing Forward! The Death God’s Teachings (2/2)

Fighting against the Allen Brothers just now had caused Ayrin to realize just how different real battles were from the tournament battles he had fought before. It caused him to realize the gap between him and truly powerful arcane masters.

The arcane skills Liszt had him learn were enough for him to use to deal with his opponents during the national tournament. But now that he was encountering truly powerful arcane master enemies, his methods of attack and defense were too limited and easy to see through.

“This fellow… his speed of improvement and learning abilities are indeed the scariest aspect of him. Learning more arcane skills and becoming a kaleidoscope master is definitely the most effective method for him to become stronger. We are members of the same team, but his progress… he has already opened his third arcane gate and mastered so many more powerful arcane skills… I can’t help but feel jealous…” Rinloran couldn’t help but sigh in his mind as he watched Ayrin. Ayrin had just grown so much.

“I shall carry you,” Lotton abruptly spoke at this moment.

“……” Stingham had originally wanted to speak, but he immediately closed his mouth as Lotton spoke.

Ever since he had seen Lotton’s face earlier, he had felt flustered whenever it came to Lotton.

“To think that I am teammates with a vengeful spirit… and going to the Land of the Undead,” Stingham couldn’t help but think that he was kind of amazing.

“It won’t be taxing for me,” Lotton added.

“Alright!” Ayrin said as he vigorously nodded his head. It seemed like he had no extra thoughts as he continued, “Let us depart then?”

Lotton didn’t reply Ayrin’s question as he instead asked, “Are you interested in learning my arcane skills?”

Ayrin, Rinloran, and Stingham all froze.

“You mean your super powerful arcane skills?!”

Ayrin became excited as he exuberantly shouted, “You will really teach me?”

“I think you will be able to learn them,” Lotton nodded.

Upon hearing Lotton’s neck creak, tears emerged in Stingham’s eyes once more as he cried out, “Teammate Lotton, if you are going to speak, then just speak. Don’t nod your head.”

“Also, after we enter the Abyss of Evil, I can only lead the way. I will not be able to use any arcane skills,” Lotton added, this time without moving his head.

“That means you won’t be able to fight?” Stingham exclaimed. “You are the most powerful person here, but you won’t be able to fight? Are you really just having us go to our own deaths?”

“Why?” Ayrin asked in surprise.

“If I circulate my arcane particles while we are in or next to any of the bishops’ territories, then I will immediately be detected. Because I have not followed their orders since leaving Eichemalar… the bishops will definitely not hesitate to come and kill me if they detect my presence,” Lotton slowly explained.

“But you are already dead,” Stingham said.

Rinloran was flabbergasted as he reacted, “Stingham, your words are not amusing at all.”

“I will be completely erased off this word, regardless of my wishes,” Lotton responded.

“Just what have they done to you?” Rinloran asked.

Although Lotton had previously been a most hated enemy, his current state and his hidden past caused Rinloran to feel strong sympathy for him.

“Bloodline… the Evil Dragon Bloodline given to us is incomplete. It is easy for them to cause our bodies to mutate and perish,” Lotton explained. “In other words, I am a scum manufactured by them… one whose life and death decided by their whims.”

“So the Lunar Spring Essence will eliminate some of those negative factors within your body!” Ayrin exclaimed as he finally understood Lotton’s intentions. His eyes began to burn with fighting intent as he looked at Lotton and vowed, “Lotton, I promise that I will do my utmost to help you obtain the Lunar Spring Essence. This I swear on my name as an arcane master!”

“For now, I will teach you my Avarice – Beast of Fear skill. Once you have mastered it, then we shall set off. As for the other skills, I will teach you later,” Lotton said.

“Is that the skill which causes others to fall into a state of extreme fear? The one which limits their movement and speed?” Ayrin immediately became excited. He had long been interested in this skill which he considered Lotton’s most powerful skill.

“Why does Lotton believe that Ayrin can learn his arcane skill… and with such certainty? Lotton has the Evil Dragon Bloodline… but Ayrin?” Rinloran abruptly sucked in a breath of cold air as a thought crossed his mind.
