Lord Evolution: Starting With SS-rank Skills

Chapter 269 - 269: The Cult (39)

The jubilation was still ongoing when, suddenly, dark clouds descended upon the area and, a few seconds later, a strong wind pressure appeared, tossing light objects in different directions at a pretty chaotic speed. Dust and dirt gradually created a dirty fog that disrupted their sights.

The sudden change caused the jubilation to halt right away as everyone braced themselves for what was to come, some with bravery and others with cowardice, praying that whatever it was would not be the cause of their death.

The dark cloud kept getting denser by the seconds and the wind pressure grew even stronger, indicating the closeness of the approaching evil.

The spy knights had already drawn out their shiny swords, taking a battle-ready stance while their vigilant eyes darted across the place in

"This is bad."

Dragun muttered while avoiding the sharp gaze of Xandros fixated on him.

"Do not worry, these two would not get past me."

D'andre assured with a cheerful smile.

'If only your opponent weren't the dark blood brothers.'

The stare-down between both parties lasted for about ten seconds before Xandros finally spoke, his voice laden with hatred and anger.

"You with long white hair, you are an outstanding mage. It is rare for someone this young to become an archmage without engaging in dark magics. You would be a great addition to the cult, while you are with us, we would help you become a Tier-7 archmage in less than two years and, after our plan has succeeded, you would receive enough mana to become a Tier-8 Super mage. What do you say?"

When Xandros opened his mouth, Dragun expected him to be brazen and rageful as usual, but he was shocked to actually hear him speak with a plan in his head. However, he could tell that his speech was either influenced by Alister or one of the cult's higher-ups.

Dragun turned to D'andre.

'This proposal is too enticing, being able to reach Tier 7 in less than two years is almost impossible and reaching Tier 8 is nothing but a dream every cultivator wishes to achieve one day. Even the strongest rulers of the cult are unable to attain that rank. I fear, if I were in his place, I would accept without a single hesitation. If he accepts, our hopes of leaving this place would be tarnished.'

Dragun feared that D'andre would accept, but his reply changed his mind.

"Shove your proposal into your black asses."
