Mike’s expression became solemn. He recalled the Holy Dragon’s remnant soul he had seen in the northern region. He subconsciously asked, “Could it have been left behind by that Great One?”
“I hope it isn’t. Even though that Great One has passed away several times, he still has a realm that far surpasses that of a divine summoner. If there really is someone who is using his corpse, we definitely won’t be able to deal with him.”
Mike’s mood became dark. He asked, “What do you think?”
“I suddenly thought of something. Do you think that the dark magi found out about your relationship with the Great One, and that’s why they’re targeting you? I’m just a side character.”
Eve immediately refuted Mike’s opinion. She said, “What are they afraid of me for? Do they suspect that the upper realm sent me to investigate them? Then they would not dare to touch me. As for the fact that they suspect that I am the Great One’s descendant, that is even more implausible. Think about it, if they really suspect that I am the Great One’s descendant, why would they be willing to kill me? Squeezing out the last bit of my value is the way to go. Without knowing all the secrets about us, they would kill me.”
Mike nodded. He felt that what Eve said made sense.
Eve said, “There’s another thing.”
Mike immediately perked up and asked, “What is it?”
Eve said, “They might be coming for Teacher Kelly. Teacher Kelly doesn’t belong to this world, and her power is suppressed by the High-level summoners. So they are taking this opportunity to harm Teacher Kelly.”
Mike nodded after hearing what Eve said. He felt that what Eve said made sense.
…
On the other side of the High-level, a crow flew into the young man’s hand. The young man did not seem to notice it. His gaze drifted into the distance as if he wanted to see through the endless mountains and rivers and focus on one person.
A black fog gathered around the young man and whispered into his ear, “You can’t waste your time here. You have to go to the central region and compete with those geniuses. Over there, our spider webs can be exposed to the sunlight. Here, we can only live in the shadows.”
The young man’s gaze continued to look into the distance. The delicate face was still like a piece of white paper, without a trace of anger.
The young man’s adam’s apple moved, and a word came out of his mouth, “Okay.”
The figure in the black fog seemed to heave a sigh of relief. He turned into a black fog and disappeared into the world, “Then you can leave in three days.”
The young man turned into a flock of crows and left the place.
…
Mike was listening to Eve’s explanation, engrossed.
The two of them did not agree for a long time, so they decided not to think about it anymore.
Mike walked in front of the youths and said, “Tomorrow is your new round of selection. I hope your efforts are not in vain.”
The youths agreed in unison.
The next day, Mike bid farewell to the group of teenagers and said goodbye to Linda. Under Linda’s reluctant gaze, he walked up the Snowy Mountain and began his own life.
In the distance, a black figure saw Mike up the snowy mountain. He only regained his senses when his subordinate called his name.
“Thief, it’s time for us to leave. It’s hard to guarantee that nothing will happen when it comes to that guy.”
The youth turned into a group of crows expressionlessly and left this snowy country.
…
Mike sat beside Akari. Akari and Amelia smiled at him in a friendly manner. Mike also returned the greeting in a friendly manner.
The Dark High Priest looked at his 100 disciples and said, “From today onwards, Mike is a member of the Church of Darkness. Although he is not my student, he is also a student of the Summoner of God. In terms of status, you are all the same. As for strength, if you want to challenge him, go ahead. However, you are not allowed to rely on divine power, lest others say that we are bullying Mike.”
Mike smiled wryly at the Dark High Priest.
