Chapter 238: The Dark Totem

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The biology prodigy, an A-level Overlord from Dark Totem, was killed by Chen Fan with a flick of a finger.

Never did Jason think that he was so powerless before Chen Fan. If not because Chen Fan’s curiosity in the power of an Extraordinary One, Chen Fan could have unscrewed his head off his shoulders even before Jason had the chance to summon the wood element.

“Professor… Professor Chen?”

A shaken voice came up from a corner.

Chen Fan looked over and saw a terrified Xue Jiao. Jason’s power seemed like the stuff of legends. However, Chen Fan was even more powerful than Jason since he had killed Jason with a flick of a finger. Xue Jiao felt it difficult to take in all that had happened. She had never seen the Extraordinary Ones, the underground world, Grandmaster Martial Artists; before today, she had never thought such things existed.

“Will you be in trouble since you killed Jason?”

Xue Jiao lowered her head and said under her breath. Although Chen Fan could have killed people easily, she could not bring herself to fear Chen Fan.

“Doesn’t matter”

Chen Fan summoned a ball of green flame and landed it on Jason’s dead body. Suddenly, Jason’s corpse turned into a puff of dark smoke and in less than a second, the body was gone.

Chen Fan snapped his fingers and the vines and boughs that were summoned by Jason turned into countless rays of green light as they shot toward Chen Fan.

Xue Jiao rounded her eyes and watched in disbelief. If there wasn’t anything strewn around in the room, no one could tell that Jason was ever here.

There was one more person that needed to be taken care of.

They both turned around and saw Han Dongyu who was still hiding in the corner, covering his head with both arms. Fear and shock flickered in the eyes.

Jason’s disappearance didn’t seem to cause much suspicion from other people.

After all, this biology prodigy was well known for his carefree lifestyle. Even the event organizers thought that he had sneaked away to another country for his personal vacation. Plus, everyone’s attention was on Chen Fan and therefore no care had time to care about him.

However, the news about Jason’s death quickly spread through the underground world and shocked everyone.

Jason the Tree Herder was one of the most powerful Overlords in the Dark Totem. Dark Totem had only a small handful of members whose powers were on par with him. Although the Dark Totem was only a mid-tier organization among the Extraordinary community, it was the most powerful among its mid-tier peers. The death of Jason also carried other news to the Dark Totem: the existence of the heavenly water.

Meanwhile, inside a mysterious ancient castle somewhere in Europe.

The wall of the gorgeously decorated room was painted with murals created by painting masters. Two long blades were set in the shape of a cross on top of the fireplace mantel. Above the crossed blades were a pentagram depicting a demon. Any furniture, let it be the sofa, desk or even the teacups were a few hundred years old antiques that were worth tens of thousands of euros.

Inside the room sat four statuesque men. They were either surrounded by shadows or flas.h.i.+ng lightnings. They represented powerful forces that controlled entire regions.

Meanwhile, one of the men who seemed to be surrounded by dark clouds received a phone call. After he heard the message, his face became gloomy.

“Theseus, my friend, why the long face?”

Across the room, a blond handsome young man said with a smile as he put down the coffee cup.

The blond young man knew that the man in the shadow was the leader of the Dark Totem. He was a powerful Overlord that dominated the underground world and his name is Theseus, the Phantom. He had the ability to control shadows and was considered the most powerful a.s.sa.s.sin in the world. He was born to be an a.s.sa.s.sin.

“Zoro, my beloved disciple, Jason is dead,” Theseus said with a husky voice.

“The Tree Herder, Jason was dead?”

The blond young man was Zoro the Thunder King from Hong Sect.

Zoro paused a second as he tried to come to terms with what he heard. Jason was an A-level Overlord under the age of thirty and therefore, Zoro had heard of his name. His death had caught him by surprise.

“The death of an A-level Overlord would be a big loss to any organization. Plus, Jason was so talented and so… young. What a pity.” Zoro lamented.

Any A-level Overlord would be a leader of most small to midsize organizations. People such as Linhu could have dominated the entire Alaska. Others such as Tang Yuanqin dominated an entire province of a superpower nation. Although Jason seemed extremely vulnerable before Chen Fan, he was considered a mighty Overlord among his international peers.

“Before he died, he sent us a message, saying that he had discovered the whereabouts of the Heavenly Water of Life in China,” Theseus said heavily.

“Heavenly Water of Life?”

Zoro and the other two guests were all stunned by the revelation.

The Heavenly Water of Life was ten times more precious than diamonds to an Extraordinary One. The Heavenly Water was able to bring out an ordinary person’s full potential and unlock his supernatural abilities hence becoming an Extraordinary One. Most Extraordinary Ones were awakened with the external stimulation such as the Heavenly Water of Life.

“Where is it? I am looking for it as well.” Zoro narrowed his eyes as tiny flas.h.i.+ng b.a.l.l.s of lightning wondered in his eyes.

“Thunder King, you are from the Hong Sect, why do you need Heavenly Water of Life?” Another member of the Dark Totem asked curiously. He was an old man wearing a white robe. He was surrounded by a powerful energy that seemed to be able to pick him up into the air at any moment.

The sight of the speaker alerted Zoro.

Arthur, The King of Wind. He was one of the three masters at the Dark Totem. He was able to harness the power of airflow and control wind. The other two leaders of Dark Totem were Theseus the Phantom and The Abyssal t.i.tan.

The three were the most powerful Extraordinary Ones in Dark Totem. Any one of them was as powerful as Zoro himself, if not more so. Theseus the Phantom was the most deadly of the three and he was able to kill Grandmasters.

However, with the backing of the Hong Sect, Zoro did not fear them. A powerful international organization such as Hong Sect was untouchable. Compared to the Hong Sect, the Dark Totem was far behind in terms of power and influence. If not because of Theseus, Zoro would never take the Dark Totem seriously.
