Chapter 281: Chapter 271 I am Black Ash
“`
Something that doesn’t exist at all?
A powerful Forbidden rare artifact?
Is the situation with the “Black Ash” so unique?
After hearing this, Byrne immediately fell into deep thought. Anyway, it seemed that if he really could take down “Black Ash,” the rewards would be tremendous, and the great Lord of the Lost would be very pleased.
Then, he continued to act very respectfully, slightly bowing his head as he said:
“Marquis Vlad, the black dragon is actually the sworn enemy of the Fischer family, and as the son of Lucius Fischer, I will never give up on taking revenge on it. Therefore, I must ask you about everything concerning ‘Black Ash,’ please tell me, what exactly is the existence of ‘Black Ash’?”
A sudden furious shout came!
“Did I allow you to ask?”
Without any warning, Marquis Vlad’s loud roar made Byrne suddenly unable to speak.
He fell silent.
Ever since, except for when Ariel got angry over the dispute for the heir, the Monarch powerful experts of the Romann family had been relatively nice to him.
Byrne had even started to forget about the gap in status between himself and the top-tier nobility.
Even ordinary Monarch powerful experts clearly had no face in front of Marquis Vlad, who had already reached mid-level Monarch status.
What more for someone like himself, who appeared to have no chance of advancing further, an ordinary Transmutation Extraordinary Exponent?
Marquis Vlad Castleton probably views me as I would view some unknown member of a baronial family, with no regard whatsoever.
“In any case, we don’t need to talk so much, just come with me,” said Marquis Vlad impatiently and coldly. Then suddenly, he stretched out a hand covered in fiery red scales.
“It’s perfect to try and see if you can lure out that thing. Your arrival as a fisherman is my luck,” he said.
“Marquis, are you intending to…”
Byrne’s face turned pale with shock. He had just started to speak when he felt the world spinning, his entire body gripped forcefully by Marquis Vlad, carried along in his grasp. The next moment, the two of them turned into a fiery meteor streaking away from the casino, rushing out directly.
“Boom!”
The casino was almost half destroyed by the aftermath of the flames in an instant, but Marquis Vlad didn’t care at all about the damage to the casino. A pair of fiery red wings sprung from his back, and in this manner, he flew out of the city with Byrne.
Byrne couldn’t utter a single word as they swiftly left the confines of Willowdale City and arrived at an uninhabited area on the outskirts.
“Get down,” Marquis Vlad said indifferently, casually tossing Byrne. His body fell uncontrollably onto the ground, the pain was intense all over him, and his bones nearly broke.
A hint of anger began to rise deep within him.
On the surface, most of the Extraordinary nobility maintained a certain amount of etiquette when dealing with “equals” among their own ranks, but Marquis Vlad Castleton was unduly domineering!
Having landed smoothly, Marquis Vlad simply looked at him and said calmly:
“What, you’re not convinced?”
Without hesitation, Byrne forced a smile.
“Of course, I am convinced!”
“Hmph, it’s clear that you are a spineless wretch,” Marquis Vlad scoffed.
Old man, what do you want me to say? Byrne couldn’t help but curse inwardly, no wonder the “Volcano Dragon” Marquis Vlad was famously difficult to deal with, such a person really was unbearable.
It seems that the rumor of him killing his own son in public was also true.
I must be more cautious not to die inexplicably at the hands of this irascible old man, Byrne thought.
The next moment, a boiling, fiery red blood appeared in Marquis Vlad’s hand, which automatically fell to the ground.
The burning blood instantly ignited the grass on the ground, and the flames snapped and crackled, moving autonomously around.
With that boiling blood, he began to draw a special Array on the ground.
While drawing the Array, Marquis Vlad continued coldly:
“That black dragon, called ‘Black Ash,’ has actually existed for thousands of years. It once used a very powerful Forbidden rare artifact to protect its tribe and obtain great power.”
“But after paying too much of a price time and again, the soul of ‘Black Ash’ was completely enslaved by that Forbidden rare artifact,” he said with a cold laugh.
So that was it.
Byrne suddenly understood that “Black Ash” was a mysterious existence closer to a conceptual nature, rather than a magic beast or other mysterious creatures, with no physical existence in the material world.
He felt somewhat fortunate to have encountered Marquis Vlad; otherwise, he might never unravel the secret of “Black Ash” in his lifetime.
Marquis Vlad continued, “Because our family has always been skilled at hunting the dragon tribe, the legends about ‘Black Ash’ were also passed down.”
“It has always been hunting people’s fear, and now it’s my turn to hunt it.”
“That ‘Black Ash’ has come nearby is a rare opportunity for the Castleton family. Come, you are to witness my hunt… or perhaps, you can become bait.”
