“No, this isn’t a joke.” It quickly became clear to Arlo that Roy wasn’t pulling a prank on him when he noticed his condition deteriorating quickly. “He is seriously hurt.” What Arlo and Julian witnessed shocked them so much that they gaped. Roy was bleeding from his eyes, ears, and nose, and strand by strand, his hair was turning white. Slowly but steadily, wrinkles were appearing below his eyes. He was ageing for sure. ‘Something must have affected his lifespan. But what could it be?…-

In the end, Arlo accepted Roy as his student. Like Vizards said, it was time for people like him to pass their legacies to the younger generation. Arlo chose to pass his techniques to Roy. He was the Fourth Baldwin who would be learning the unrivaled technique called Limit Breaker! “This conversation ends here.” Right then, the surface of the golden aura barrier entrapping them rippled like water. It disappeared. They walked. A stone archway connected the backyard with the Manor’s…

“Born to the incarnation of Far West, the only Queen of the Empire, and the Glorious Sun Emperor, the Youngest Prince of the Empire is the strongest unawakened Far West has ever seen.” Arlo praised. The Emperor only had two women in his harem, the Empress and the Queen. The first one he truly loved. The second one fell into his lap out of her own accord. He didn’t deny her advances for a reason. Mating with her gave him the strongest son. But although he cherished both his wives and sons, he…

“Go on.” Arlo waved his hand. This was Roy’s cue to ask a question. “How did you lessen the Count’s prejudice against me?” Arlo directed a mysterious smile in Roy’s direction. “That’s a secret I can’t tell you.” ‘That confirms it. He really is the reason why the Count’s attitude towards me has taken a turn for the better.’ Roy thought, seeing Arlo in a new light. A moment of silence passed between the two before Roy questioned Arlo a second time. “Why was the Count…

Roy’s eyes widened when he heard Badulf taking his side over Noah. It was well known that Badulf didn’t like him and liked Noah more than anyone in the household. Thus, this came as an unexpected surprise to him. ‘Why is he taking my side after being indifferent to me for so many years? Is he possessed?’ Seeing the bewilderment on Roy’s face, Arlo winked at him. This told Roy that his uncle had a hand behind the change in the Count’s attitude towards him. ‘Why are you also taking his…

“You almost killed him!” Badulf blamed Roy. “If we had stopped the fight even a moment later, he would be hanging like a limp corpse from your hand. How can you be so cruel to your brother?” Roy chuckled sarcastically, “Brother? This person plotted to kill me again and again. That night I almost drowned to death because he took advantage of my mental retardation and directed me into the cold pond by casting illusion magic on me, playing with my senses, and making me believe it was my bed. And…

Just when it reached a hair’s breadth away from accomplishing its ill intention against Roy, his partially tangible body melted entirely into a mist, becoming ghostly. As the blade passed through Roy’s intangible self, Noah snapped his finger “Boom!” It exploded, and Roy’s foggy form was blasted into bits again. Broken pieces of his misty self were falling down the air left and right like light feathers. The thought that he got him hard had just popped in Noah’s mind when the many wisps of…

When Noah saw Roy scraping away his last line of defence as quickly as a rat eating cheese, his face contorted slightly and his eyes turned ruthless. ‘If this continues, it won’t be long before he breaks my shield and strikes me down. I can’t let that happen.’ Even being struck by a trainee is humiliating for a rank-1 mage, let alone defeat. If Noah lost to him, he would become the laughing stock of society. He needed to win at any cost. That’s why he decided to give “that” a shot. It…

One of the spikes sticking out of the crystal sphere, which had crash-landed a step away from Noah, had already penetrated his Adam’s apple, wounded his neck, and drawn a small quantity of blood from his throat that slid onto his chest. Noah saw the reflection of this sight on the crystal sphere’s shiny surface, and upon realizing how close he had come to death, Noah’s pupils dilated, his eyes thinning to the size of needles. “That would have gone into my mouth through my chin if I had been any…

Amelia and Delilah stood up to accompany him. But when he saw that, he immediately stopped them. “You two, wait here.” “But-“ Amelia hadn’t completed what she wanted to say when she was interrupted by Roy. “That’s an order.” Standing side by side and pouting miserably, they could only see Roy walk away. Seeing the troubled youths, Julian cleared his throat and said, “I’ll go and inform Uncle of this. I have a feeling his help will be needed,” Then… he left the room to…
