Chapter 289 A Banquet
The victor had been decided.
A joyous Adept Nunnally and smiling Angus greeted Greem as he stepped out of the arena with the Infernal Tyrant.
The Gerto adepts stared angrily at them, their faces full of killing intent.
Both parties looked at Greem and the Tyrant, but no one paid any attention to the disheveled and defeated Rouneau.
“Very well. The esoteric duel today has concluded.” The silver-robed adept stepped up as the mediator, “Shop 167 of Champs Élysées Street will continue to be managed by the Byron Clan. As the losing challengers, the Gerto Clan has to pay their compensations to the Byron Clan within three days. If the compensation is not paid on time, the Silver Union will exile the Gerto Clan and all property they have in the Castle in the Sky will be forfeited and put up for auction. I hope this will not be the case. Very well, now that the duel has come to a close, you may all leave.”
The silver-robed adept took one last look at Greem and his golem before silently leaving.
“Let’s go! We have to go back and have a proper celebration after this!” Even a cold and grim fellow like Adept Angus couldn’t help but betray a smile. It was clear how significant of a victory this was for the Byron Clan.
There were also other, smaller social circles in the hall aside from these youths.
One of them was the bloodline adept’s circle.
Those who could step foot in here were all elites among the bloodline adepts. The greatest indicator of this was the dense bloodline aura they radiated, as well as their obvious appearances. Most of them were similar to the creatures their bloodline came from.
The Synos Clan managing the Black Rose was a clan of bloodline adepts. Their clan’s bloodline legacy was that of the Shadow Serpent. This was a terrifying shadow creature that was widely known to be able to reach the ranks of Sixth Grade.
That was why all of the adepts from the Synos Clans had a black serpent’s head in place of a human one. It was the same whether they were male or female. All of them looked like a serpent. Their bodies also showed vague signs of blurring, as if they were constantly under the protection of shadows and darkness.
These bloodlines adepts clearly disliked intimate relationships with adepts of other races. Their considerations and priorities when picking a partner or lover were focused on the opponent’s bloodline concentration and their Grade level. Appearance and personality was only a secondary thought.
There was also a group of mutated adepts in the hall that had undergone severe body modifications. Perhaps parts of their bodies had been replaced with that of wild beasts, turned undead, or replaced with mechanical parts. Either way, the marks of magical modification had been left on each and every one of their bodies.
There wasn’t much left about them that was human!
