Chapter 438 - Ritual of Blood
Bogula narrowed his eyes. “Oh, it looks like you’re a good friend of Diablo. Well, of course, he won’t offend Isabella like this otherwise. He even sacrificed Naga… Oh man, how terrible.”
Bogula didn’t mean to hide his intention since Shadow already told Angor enough.
“Correct, I will turn you into a puppet,” the man said while his tongue moved around his mouth like a real snake, “but what’s on your mind might be a little different than the actual puppet I use. Did you see Naga’s intelligence? I can allow you to retain your own consciousness, and it will be easier for you to become a wizard as I’d be making adjustments and upgrades to your body. What do you say? Will you follow me?”
Bogula stared at Angor with pure greed.
Now that Bogula revealed everything in the open, Angor wasn’t sure how to react. If Bogula didn’t lie, then the man really gave him a choice that would determine whether he survived this day.
However, Angor didn’t believe that everything Bogula said was truthful. Rather, it would be weird if a wizard didn’t use word tricks at all. Besides, Angor’s nature told him to steer away from being someone’s underling. Bogula’s promises didn’t compensate for what he would lose.
But… what if “becoming a puppet” and “death” were the only two options?
In other words, he either lived on like someone’s dog or disappeared from this world right here, right this moment.
“Ritual of Blood?!” Bogula had put away his dramatic expression and replaced it with a serious look. “You’ve been planning this all along?”
Ritual of Blood was a very powerful level-2 blood spell. Under normal circumstances, Bogula would avoid getting affected by it at all costs, but now, he was completely defenseless in front of Isabella.
Bogula no longer cared about Angor’s choice. He had to leave the area of the spell first.
The man stepped into a rift. As he disappeared, the Hand of Spell that supported Angor also vanished, dropping Angor on the ground.
Away from them, the Dual Sprite, Talos, also watched in shock at what just happened. Talos knew about Isabella’s mad character from rumors and stories, but this was the first time for Talos to witness the woman’s hysterical nature up close.
A level-2 wizard was going to use a large-scale spell just to murder an apprentice. This was an outrage!
Isabella never intended to mind the strength gap between her and Angor. She was simply using her best shot to kill an insect. There was not another wizard out there who would do such a thing. For one, it was an unnecessary waste of stamina. And secondly, it would be a joke that would stain one’s name.
However, Isabella cared for neither.
Angor lay still on the ground and watched as the overwhelming spell sealed his fate.
