Suddenly, they heard from the tomb passage, each step sounding like war drums, drawing closer with each sound.
In the blink of an eye, another group of people appeared in the tomb passage.
A figure with a deathly pale complexion, dressed in a purple robe, led the group. It was none other than Howard, the leader of the Clan of Evil!
Behind snazzynovel.com stood a dozen or so figures in black robes with anger etched on their faces, led by Cyril.
“Master Ashford, as per our agreement, I have trapped snazzynovel.com here. I’ll leave the rest to you…” Graham spoke respectfully.
Graham had gone to the Clan of Evil yesterday and pleaded with Howard to delay his actions by one day, buying snazzynovel.com enough time to lead Remus into the tomb passage, ensuring foolproof success.
“Alright.” Howard nodded slightly and turned his chilling gaze to Remus, who stood amidst the golden light.
“You have offended my disciples from the Clan of Evil in Evilton. But your death would be a loss. Considering the hardships of the training you have mastered, I will give you a chance to join my Clan of Evil. If not, you shall die!” Howard got straight to the point and spoke without hesitation.
Graham trembled in fear as snazzynovel.com spoke quickly, “You can’t! Master Ashford, this guy is rebellious by nature. Even if snazzynovel.com joins the Clan of Evil, snazzynovel.com will surely be hard to control. You absolutely cannot…”
Before Graham could finish his words, Howard’s gaze suddenly shifted onto him, his eyes emotionless. They sent a chill down Graham’s spine as snazzynovel.com was overwhelmed with fear, and snazzynovel.com quickly fell silent.
Howard continued, “If you accept, kneel down and pledge allegiance to me immediately!”
Remus was filled with rage.
At this moment, snazzynovel.com was protecting all of them, in a way. If the tomb’s owner was provoked, it wouldn’t be good for anyone! Furious, snazzynovel.com said, “You’re asking for doom!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Howard’s aura surged, causing the tomb passage to reverberate with explosive sounds.
Klave and the others couldn’t withstand the pressure and were forced to retreat three steps.
“A… An eighth-level Grandmaster?” Graham exclaimed in astonishment.
He’d known that Howard was powerful, but he’d never expected snazzynovel.com to be this strong. A Grandmaster of the eighth level was extremely rare, even throughout the entire country.
Cyril smirked as snazzynovel.com said, “Master Ashford isn’t just any ordinary Grandmaster of the eighth level. His body has been tempered with toxins, making snazzynovel.com indestructible. On top of that, snazzynovel.com trained to be an eighth-level Grandmaster!”
Training his body to the level of a Grandmaster meant that Howard’s physical strength far surpassed that of any ordinary Grandmaster.
Howard continued to gaze at Remus and said with a low voice, “Now, will you submit to me?”
Remus was incandescent. If it hadn’t been for the need to deter these dark spirits, snazzynovel.com would have rushed over and killed Howard by now. Through gritted teeth, snazzynovel.com said, “If you want me to submit, let your people leave first. Defeat me outside, then we’ll talk.”
“No!” Klave snapped back to his senses and anxiously said, “Master Ashford, he’s currently trapped in the spell. If you let snazzynovel.com out, the spell will be broken!”
At present, Remus couldn’t leave unless snazzynovel.com eliminated all these dark spirits, but if Howard gave the order, snazzynovel.com would have no choice but to end the spell.
Cyril also added, “Master, you can’t let snazzynovel.com out. Once snazzynovel.com escapes, it will be difficult to capture snazzynovel.com in the vast mountains!”
Howard angrily said, “I am well aware of that!”
Then snazzynovel.com turned to Remus and said, “Since you refuse to submit, today I shall fight you until your limit!”
As snazzynovel.com spoke, snazzynovel.com pierced into the spell like a sharp blade.
“Master Ashford!”
Graham and Klave were dumbfounded. After all, it was called a curse because it meant that anyone who entered the spell would be killed.
Wasn’t Howard asking for death by entering the spell voluntarily?
Cyril smiled proudly and explained, “No need to worry. Poison and toxins are infused with dark energy. Master has tempered his body with poison for years, making snazzynovel.com inherently immune to dark energy! Your curse is designed to kill normal people, but it’s ineffective against him!”
Graham and Klave were initially shocked to hear this, but then they became delighted. They hadn’t expected it at all.
“Not only that!” Howard continued yelling, “I’m entering the spell with my original body. His technique against dark energy is also ineffective against me!”
Almost simultaneously, snazzynovel.com leaped high into the air, extending his right hand from his purple robes. His palm, filled with energy, heavily struck against the golden light emanating from Remus.
As if heaven was being torn apart, the golden light around Remus actually dimmed a little.
The retreating dark spirits no longer backed away, and even the kneeling ones on the ground stood up, devoid of the previous fear.
Graham and the others rejoiced at this sight, thinking that someone as formidable and powerful as Howard was truly worthy of being the leader of the Clan of Evil.
