Chapter 297 - The Price Of Trust (2/2)

That was the fate that befell thousands of people in this world. Any encounter with a monster could end this way. Humans, however, were far scarier than monsters. Humans could do things so terrifying that even monsters would flee in fear.

The reason for this was that, for the most part, monsters, much fewer beasts, did not act if they did not need to. An example was that a beast, a monster, or a simple pet would not eat more than they need. They would eat as much as they needed to get full and regain their strength. However, a person may continue to eat until they become nauseous.

So it is unlikely that a monster would torture a human or any other creature, but humans have been known to be masters at this.

”Hopefully, that will be enough. The sooner I can access the Demonic Tree spells, the better.” Mumbled Evan.

He could have gone to Vextin or The Last Moon to pick out his second-level spells, but he didn't see much point in doing so. He was sure that no Mage Academy had strong, rare, and unique spells as the most dangerous and powerful dark organization.

Evan wanted to get on with the experiment and unlock all the chains on the pillars. He was sure that the spells he received would make him much stronger.

When Reykar finished eating the light mage, he quickly caught up with Evan.

Evan decided to head straight to Rave rather than his tower. He had to get his full Demonic Tree status from him. Of course, Rave had said that he was not authorized to hold a formal enrollment ceremony.

But, he certainly had enough influence to make Evan a full member of the Demonic Tree once he joined the organization. That was exactly what Evan needed.

The Emerald Hand's camp was quite far from the abandoned Rave Castle. So it was not until fifteen hours later that Evan saw the castle's outline in the distance.

He was sure he had already been spotted, and if no one stopped him, that meant he was allowed to land in the castle grounds.

After a couple of minutes, Evan jumped off his mount and headed into the depths of the castle. As before, he encountered several very strong members of the Demonic Tree along the way.

They didn't pay any attention to Evan, even considering they were seeing him for the first time in their lives and Evan wasn't wearing the red robe.

It showed how confident these men were in themselves and the protective formations around the castle. Not even an insect could enter this castle without permission, let alone a mage.

As Evan approached the front door to Rave's office, he met Kilia. Like the other mages, she walked silently past him, but it was obvious that she was surprised. Even though Evan was much weaker than her, his actions were beyond her comprehension.

Click.

Evan opened the door and walked into Rave's office.
