William Again

Although this was equal to an entire small room, which could be said to be a massive space for just the smallest dimensional bag, still, you never know what happens in the future, and mages needed countless products to be stored, so it would have been filled up in no time.

Still, that was only for the mages, but for an ordinary mercenary, this much was plenty enough. The problem was that it was too expensive for people to buy this.

"If you are wondering where we got it from, it is from our inheritance left by our grandpa.'' Chloe looked at Aur with a strange glint in his eyes, directly looking at his face up-close.

"Oh, I didn't know you two were royalties…"

"No, we are not. Our grandpa was only a mid-tier one mage, but it was given by the previous village leader because he sacrificed his life to save the village."

"Oh, alright." Aur just nodded his head as he refrained from asking any further.

"I wonder where the protagonist is?" he mused to himself.

After all, Aur knew that this opportunity was stored up for the protagonist, although he didn't know who it was, but still, it was up and ready for him to get it with some coincidence.

"Sister and Aur, I have finally taken all the mana crystals. They are two thousand fifty-seven, the exact number," Emma jumped from excitement.

"Aur, we will divide our loot in the mercenary place, alright?" Chloe looked at him as if seeking his confirmation.

Aur just nodded his head.

"We will leave now."

The trio silently made their way to the exit.

The bright sunlight shone on the trio as their eyes all narrowed.

"It's nice to see the sunlight again." A small, goofy smile graced Emma's face with her tongue stuck out with excitement.

"Let's leave quickly." Chloe said with a cold tone as she looked around.

"Can you carry Emma too, Aur?"

"Eh." Emma was stunned when she heard this.

"Sure." Aur smiled as he gave Emma his right hand.

"Hop on."

"But sister… sis… Aur…"

"Fast." Chloe's expression turned serious as she looked at Emma.

Feeling the serious expression, Emma nestled in Aur's left arm like a koala.

"Let's go." Aur coldly said as he disappeared.

Just at that time, a golden-haired youth came holding a half-torn map in his hand.

"Is this the place?" Williams looked at the hole that extended downwards to pitch darkness and looked at his map again, seeing a big black dot marked at this place with a treasure symbol in it.

"So this is the right place…" he frowned. "Well, the only way to find out is to enter the cave." William shrugged as he entered the cave.

"This might not be the place."

The cold voice rang in his ears.

"What do you mean?" William asked with a strange expression on his face.

"As I said, this might not be the right place."

"How are you so certain?"

William waited; however, no reply came, which made him shrug as he entered the place.

"Hmm…" There were traces of footprints of people, and some blood was also thinly smeared on the cave walls.

"Someone was here before." William's eyes narrowed as he slowly made his way through the darkness.

"It's too dark here…" he muttered.

William eyes seemed to glow with darkness as his blue pupils suddenly became black, emitting blackish flames around his eyes.

In his mental space, there was a circle with countless variations and patterns inside it, floating in mid-air right at the centre of his mental space, with a thin string attached to it connected to the ground of the mental.

The ground of his mental space there was a small pond of transparent liquid that slightly filled to the reaching about the knee level.

The strange pattern started to rotate, consuming the transparent liquid as it flowed up into the pattern, nurturing it.

"Tier one: true pupils," William muttered, looked around, and finally, he could see almost everything in the room.

"Looks like taking this first spell as my initial vital spell was not a bad choice; however, this is entirely useless in combat."

"Don't worry, kid. Black magic doesn't have the strongest strength in the spell ranking, but it is the strongest in killing and lethality."

"You can raise an entire army by yourself; imagine your very own kingdom that you built from your very own power where everybody will obey you."

The cold voice rang in his ears.

William just shook his head when he heard this. "Don't try to corrupt my mind, Asmodeus."

However, his expression soon turned to confusion. "What is the spell ranking?"

The cold wind from the cave blew over his skin; however, William never got any reply.

"He is acting dead again…" William cursed as he advanced in the cave, suddenly seeing a green figure lying on the ground.

"Is that an imp?"

He walked towards the imp and looked at it carefully. From his eyes, William could see a thin blue circle around the imp's bent neck.

"This is the only thing I can see right now…" William cursed. The only thing his tier one true pupils, his vital spell, could do was seeing in the dark and having an intuition of death and things related to death.

Although it might be useful, it was entirely useless to increase his combat strength, and it didn't match his style of fighting.

William liked to fight head on, not like a coward who hides in the shadows.

That was against his morals.

"So I was late," he muttered as he finally recovered from his thoughts and started to go further with an even deeper frown.

William saw the wolf that was brutally killed, its body still plastered against the walls, as if it were a bug.

"He was punched in the face, sending him directly to the wall…"

His eyes widened when he saw this. "What type of strength is needed to do this? Is it a tier two mage?"
