Chapter 157

The leader's expression was indifferent. He had pale skin and black irises. He gazed at the burly man for a moment before shifting his focus back to the mountain.

"Do whatever you like."

The burly man with brown skin smiled wickedly at that, his hands itching for blood and flesh. He was going to kill everyone inside and drink their blood.

"Leader, what about you?" the man with short stature questioned with respect.

"I will do nothing."

"…."

The group looked at him with blank expressions.

"This… Leader, are you sure?" the woman hesitated and wondered.

"I will be making preparations for a killer array in advance. Once we manage to pass through the barrier, I will engage with the expert present inside while you retrieve the egg."

He spoke in a dark tone, making others tremble.

His words carried an unspoken threat, a promise of what was to come.

Killer Array!

It was one of the demons' inventions, designed to deal with the pesky, troublesome exorcists.

The array consisted of extremely destructive and violent runes. Just one array was enough to eliminate a plethora of exorcists with a single activation. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Basically, it was a death trap for any exorcist who would be caught inside.

For their leader to activate such an expensive and complex array, they all knew that the situation was dire. The expert inside must have been a high-ranking exorcist since he was forced to use such an array.

"Ah…"

All of them had their eyes sparkling with lights of revelation.

"That's great, leader!"

"As expected of our leader!"

They praised him like a group of bootlickers around a young master.

The leader nodded, his eyes glistening with a sinister glow in them as he ordered them to disperse and create an opening in the barrier. Considering the barrier's sturdiness, it might take them weeks to do so, but it was worth it.

They would not get a chance better than this one. If the exorcist returned to the Mystic Purge Clan, then it would be impossible to reach them.

This was their best opportunity, and they would never let this pass by!

_____________

It was soon the next day.

Sigfor summoned the group of children, this time, all of them were seated on their desks while he was in front of them.

"Now, you have two choices."

He said as he summoned a thick old book and a spear. He then looked at them and continued, "Either we start with weapon training or runic studies. Discuss it and we will proceed with what you decide."

As soon as Sigfor finished, Daniel stood up from his desk and looked at others, "You guys have to choose weapon training!"

His tone had excitement as if he was ready to defend his point to the very end.

Alphonso looked at Evelyn, who was next to him and asked, "What do you think?"

"Well, I am fine with either of the two. Both are going to be useful to us. I will follow what you guys decide," she replied with a smile.

"Isn't runic knowledge more important…? Weapon training is going to be exhausting honestly," Amber said as she stretched her back.

"That's true as well…" Alphonso muttered with a nod.

"You guys can't be serious, right!? Amber, Alphonso, just think about how much fun it would be to train together! We can spar with that old ma—cough, elder Sigfor as much as we want! Don't you all want to know about his powers and we can also duel with each other! You guys, please…!" Daniel pleaded as he looked at the two.

"You brat, you are still a hundred years early to dare to think about fighting me," Sigfor frowned.

"Hmm…" Amber leaned forward on the desk, supporting her chin with her hand, she turned to look at Oliver and asked.

"Oliver, what about you? What do you want to do?"

"Me? I am fine with either. But since Daniel is requesting all of us, we should consider him too," he thought aloud.

"Oliver, my dude! I love you!"

"Stop being so cringe, Daniel," Amber scolded, making a disgusted face at his words.

"Well…" Alphonso smiled wryly before glancing at Nadia, who had an icy aura surrounding her. He didn't dare approach her, and given her stance, she probably did not care either way.

He coughed twice and said, "Since it's like this, then Amber, I think we should take the weapon training first, we can always learn about runes later."

"Sure, if everyone is fine with it. I just mentioned it since I like runes more," Amber shrugged.

"Haha…" Alphonso laughed and nodded at Daniel.

"Elder Sigfor! We want you to teach us weapon training first!" he shouted, making sure that the elder had heard him clearly.

Seeing the brat yell, Sigfor frowned, it seemed like this brat hadn't learned his lesson even after getting beaten up.

"Alright then," he said, and the book vanished from his hand and returned back to his storage artifact. He then tapped the spear against the floor, producing a thud.

"We will start with weapon training first!"

"We will start with weapon training first!"

Just as Sigfor announced, Daniel jumped in joy and made noises only to be silenced by the elder's anger.

"First, we shall see what weapons you kids feel the most comfortable with. If you already have a preference with the weapons you are comfortable with, then find it; otherwise, I will help you get one," he said as he waved his hand and the next moment numerous training weapons appeared on the table before him.

"I will use a sword!"

Daniel leapt over and picked up a sleek sword, he then waved it in the air with swift and precise strikes.

'Not bad.'

Sigfor thought as he observed the kid's short movement and instantly recognized that Daniel was very familiar with his weapon—the sword.

'As expected from the Sacred Swords Clan, they must have nurtured him with weapon techniques and training extensively.
