Chapter 195: The human in the elven territory Part6
William Bastion slowly stirred awake from his stupor.
A subtle smile hung on his thin lips as the man contently looked at the stone tablet.
This was indeed an unexpected windfall!
He hadn’t come here expecting such a good thing, but his fate magic never lied.
He was promised a life-changing occurrence and the prophecy was fulfilled.
He had no idea that dark elemental magic could be used in such a powerful way.
As the man’s blue orbs dazedly looked at the stone tablet, still comprehending the chunks of knowledge regarding the necromancy inheritance in his brain, something else appeared in his peripheral vision.
Huh? William exclaimed in surprise.
He cocked his head to look at the pale blue figure lying unconscious on the ground.
He instantly recognized who it was!
This was the same snake woman who had sat beside him in the elven royal feast!
“Heh. You are still alive!”
He chuckled, also remembering how this gluttonous woman had inhaled poisonous meat one after the other.
“Poor thing.” He shook his head. It seemed that this woman had extremely bad luck.
In their first meeting, someone else had poisoned her food and now in their second meeting, he would be directly killing her.
William didn’t think too much about the snake after that as he quickly collected his bearings.
He stood up from his seated pose and used a strong and thick saber to slice the stone tablet.
The tall stone which should have been simply uprooted from the cave’s floor unexpectedly exploded into an amalgamation of dust and sand.
“Hmm… Just as I thought.” William nodded.
He wanted to bring this stone tablet with him if possible, but that didn’t turn out well.
Now that he had no more business in this labyrinth, he was ready to leave.
He took out a small silver bead and from within that, he retrieved a small silver orb, brimming with chaotic and swirling mana.
This was his teleportation orb, his crisp and clean getaway card from here.
William was not a fan of loose ends.
So before he touched the orb, he clicked his tongue and flicked his saber again, this time sending out a slash in Tang Yue’s direction.
The attack he sent was strong enough to blast her into nothingness, so he almost didn’t wait to see the results.
But unexpectedly…
Kaboom!
A loud sound echoed in the small cavern, freezing him in his tracks and stopping him from teleporting out of there.
“What the hell? My attack rebounded?”
William turned and looked at the snake woman lying on the floor.
A thin layer of black mist surrounded her and several strings of black mists were pouring into her.
William instantly understood what just happened.
He now also had a good idea of why the woman was lying unconscious on the ground in the first place!
Just like he had tried to kill her, she had also tried to kill him and the same attack rebounded on her, rendering her unconscious.
“Heh. Interesting. What a powerful spell formation!”
The man chuckled looking at the snake. “It seems like we are connected by fate.”
In truth, the inheritance he had just acquired consisted of two parts.
One part was the runic knowledge about an ancient necromancy art while the other part was the massive collection of souls contained in the five black orbs.
And unfortunately, unlike Tang Yue, William had directly touched the white orb and hence he didn’t get a chance to absorb the souls from the black orbs.
Coincidentally, Tang Yue had touched the black orbs first and hence also claimed the massive collection of souls fueling this entire labyrinth.
“Tsk Tsk… I guess this can’t be helped. I can always collect more souls.” He chuckled.
If he had taken the time to analyze everything more thoroughly, he wouldn’t have missed this crucial detail, but he was in a hurry and he didn’t want to face an entire elven army by himself.
So this random woman lucked out and stole half of his inheritance!
He didn’t have much time, so his fingers traced the black strings of souls and William smiled once more before touching the teleportation orb and disappearing from the labyrinth altogether.
Only Tang Yue was now left behind in the 12 layers of hell, knocked out unconscious and peacefully resting on the cave floor.
And the strings of black soul steadily and continuously poured into her as if they were never-ending.
These disintegrated soul wisps slowly merged within her own soul, making it stronger and more powerful with every passing second.
Time slowly ticked away and several minutes later… a loud rumbling sound echoed in the huge towering layers of hell.
The entrance to the cave formation blasted open, with Xander, Xavier, several sect elders, and dwarven emissaries rushing forward.
They all heard the announcement about the ‘layers of hell’ and the inheritance and it only took two seconds for them to reach the top floor.
But, they didn’t find any inheritance like they were promised.
Instead, the only entity present in the last cavern was a beautiful mesmerizing pale blue figure lying on the floor.
Xander stopped. His crimson orbs curiously looked at the snake.
Everyone else gasped in surprise as well and started murmuring.
“What happened here? Where is the inheritance?”
“Did this spirit beast obtain the inheritance? But she is so weak! She is not even at Saint realm yet!”
“What the heck? What is the meaning of this?”
“We were the ones who fought the powerful epic grade beast and now someone else already claimed the inheritance?”
“This is completely unfair!”
“How did a spirit beast even obtain the rights to participate in this labyrinth?! This is ridiculous!”
A heated discussion broke out and everybody gnashed their teeth at Tang Yue for having stolen their good fortune.
However, the man at the center silently stood.
His crimson orbs flickered and he stepped forward, ignoring the rest of the crowd.
He carefully and gently picked the woman up like a delicate flower, holding her snug and safe, close to this chest.
He then carried her out, through the azure waters and all the way to the elven royal palace.
