Chapter 123: Price for power (2) (2/2)
The students and instructor Hai watched from a distance and they too were left dazed! How is someone this powerful still a student in their academy? With this level of strength, he can become an instructor! In fact, many who believed Lucien was too young and weak to be a noble began rethinking everything.
”It cant be him! If he is this strong then he wouldn't need to be in the academy!” One of the students cried out! He just couldn't get himself to accept the fact that Lucien is far stronger than them.
Hearing this, many students were eager to agree with this explanation but what came next was unexpected!
”According to the information given to us by your former war mage instructor, Emma…. Lucien used this same ability when facing two outer disciples of the creed… Mind you those two were spirit realm masters surpassing other spirit realm masters… yet Lucien won... I heard a spirit beast cultivator at the warrior realm beat instructor Emma and three other students and she is at the peak of the mortal realm… Lucien is a skilled spirit beast cultivator who far surpasses the girl that beat instructor Emma… It is very logical he is capable of this! By the way, He only excels as a spirit beast cultivator and not a mage… He wants to push his cultivation as a mage too and that's why he is still in the academy… If he excels at both then it means we are witnessing the birth of a new beast emperor! One far stronger than all three great emperors” Instructor Hai said all this with lingering fear visible in his eyes. It was simply because he didn't know the kind of person Lucien is so he doesn't know what he will become in the future.
”YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE GUTS TO FACE ME ALL ALONE? HOW ARROGANT!” Lucien's enraged voice was like powerful thunderclaps making people shudder.
The students who wanted to argue further shut their mouths! Lucien's words were enough to prove he is the one responsible for the fiery blue whirlpool!
Meanwhile….
The Azure dragon had successfully suppressed the Lanka by turning into the Abok the moment it got close enough and using its massive body to bind it. The Lanka was caught off guard but it didn't stop it from reacting quickly! It soon released a massive surge of purple gas which began corroding the body of the Abok!
Hiss!!!
The faceless hissed in pain as it used the Abok's signature skill to transform its entire body into steel and bluster its defense but unfortunately, it could only mimic the form and power of an enemy and not the cultivation level! Even with its increased defense it could barely last against the Lanka and could only watch as its body was shattered by the magic beast's true strength!
”DIE HALF-BLOOD!” Lanka cried as it leaped towards Lucien, attempting to smash him with its massive skull.
”YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE GUTS TO FACE ME ALL ALONE? HOW ARROGANT!” Lucien growled viciously as he pushed downwards and a massive blue whirlpool surged down!
BOOM!
The collusion made the world around them tremble terribly before a loud painful cry rang into their ears making the hearts of those who heard it skip a beat!
”Aaaaarrrrggggggh!!!” Lucien cried out painfully as he felt like an ant getting head-butted by a giant goat!
”This….” Lucien muttered as his body flew high and even went above the clouds!
Why did he challenge the king-tier magic beast head on?
Was he enraged by the fact it looked down at him?
Was he always this careless?
His vision felt blurry, he felt like all the air in his body as pulled out the moment he was hit. Visions of his entire life flashed all through his eyes causing him to ask one question.
”Am I dying here?” Lucien muttered as he watched images of his sad life flash across his eyes.
All his dreams, goals, ambition, gone just like that!
[WAKE UP, LUCIEN!] Rakuzen's enraged voice rang in his head forcing him to yank his eyes open!
”HELL NO! I REFUSE TO GO DOWN THIS WAY!” Lucien suddenly yanked his eyes open and growled.
Brrrrrrrr!
His body was soon consumed by blue flames as the faceless formed above his head once again and took the shape of the Azure blue serpent dragon!
”Let us end this!” Lucien growled while standing atop the head of the dragon!
