Chapter 797 - Apprentice Duels
Chapter 797 Apprentice Duels
Though both parties were from the Crimson Clan, their relationship wasn’t exactly harmonious.
At the very least, Bloodsucking Fang didn’t get along with Shadow’s Light.
“Yo, isn’t this the Ponta who only knows how to go around collecting garbage? How did he make it out of the Black Forest safely?” A sweet voice rang out from the counter the moment they entered the tavern. However, the words caused the members of Shadow’s Light’s expressions to change.
“I was wondering who it was. To think it was the one known as the most pretty of White Tower, Lord Lens! Where did you find the free time to come here for a drink today?” Ponta’s face turned into a scowl, and he retaliated with a bitter smile on his face.
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man, though with a pretty face and a sweetly soft voice. He was dressed in a delicate noble’s robe and wore a noble’s emblem on his chest, though it appeared unfamiliar to everyone’s eyes.
These vampires had all come from the Faen Plane. They were all blood elves with pretty faces, slender bodies, and two sharp ears peeking through their light green long hair.
As noble blood elves, these outsiders to the World of Adepts still maintained much of their habits from before their conversion. They had perfectly inherited all of the merits and ‘shortcomings’ of the Faen forest elves. They were a group of radical individuals who judged others severely by their appearance; they hated all creatures whose looks were imperfect.
Seria’s former strength provided her with a different state of mind and worldview when compared to the other apprentices. As such, she wasn’t constrained by the narrow and drastic view of appearance supremacy. Her red eyes swept across Locke’s body and her pretty brows scrunched together into a frown.
“Big Sis, is there something wrong?” One of the blood elves moved over and asked.
“It’s nothing. Maggie, warn Lens not to let down his guard. That…that green-skinned fellow is a bit odd. Don’t let Lens embarrass us blood elves!”
“Understood, Sis!”
With the acknowledgment of two Pseudo-adepts, this duel became a certainty!
The location of the duel was decided to be the round plaza in the center of town. The square was tiled with thick green stones, and large braziers burned around it. It was both broad and bright enough for the apprentices to duel there.
At any rate, the apprentices couldn’t unleash excessively powerful spells with their power; this small plaza was enough for their fight. Naturally, the loser would have to pay for the repairs of any damage done to the buildings or the road.
“The duel can’t be performed for nothing. I am willing to offer our fire lion’s core as wager!” Once both fighters were ready, and the onlooking apprentices had gathered, Ponta couldn’t help but shout out loud.
“Hmph! We won’t lose! I’ll use a wyvern’s core as wager!” Seria wouldn’t be outdone and replied loudly as well.
A wyvern’s core was the magical crystal within a wyvern.
Though it was a First Grade magical creature, its tough skin, poison claws, and flying ability made it a fearsome beast even amongst First Grade magical creatures. The value of its magical crystal was twice that of a fire lion and even more.
An expression of excitement appeared on Ponta’s face when he got this reply.
As the captain of the team, he had witnessed Locke’s combat power over these days. He knew very well how strong he was. Little Locke’s chance of victory was fairly high when fighting against an Advanced-apprentice blood elf!
Seria looked at the crowd around them, and coldly said, “Since there are no more objections, I hereby declare that the duel begins now.”
As she finished, Lens instantly transformed into a palm-sized bat and quickly approached the ditzy goblin Locke on the other end.
