Kael stared in shock at Aiden’s action and asked: "What... what are you doing?"
What else could Aiden do?
Of course, he was going to kill Kael.
"Thunder’s Wrath!"
Without any hesitation, Aiden aid the spell directly at Kael.
Wild lightning surged around, bright flashes of electricity jumped quickly. Before anyone could react, Kael was completely surrounded by lightning and was struck down.
"Stop him!" Soone shouted, but it was already too late.
Aiden didn’t use the extrely cold version of the spell because this skill was mainly for control and to add a debuff to the enemy.
As for Blazing Tornado, it did more damage over ti but wasn’t good for quick kills.
Right now, only Thunder’s Wrath was fast enough, did enough damage, and had a chance to deal real damage.
As the lightning slowly faded, a blackened body was left on the ground.
Silence. No one spoke.
Owen’s eyes were wide open, shocked and unable to believe what Aiden had just done. He never expected Aiden to act so quickly and decisively.
As for Aiden, he just calmly put his staff away and looked at the log.
[Defeat Epic Paladin, Experience 1000]
...
[Defeat Epic Paladin, Experience 100,000]
Not bad at all. Even though Kael had a low level, his class quality was really high.
100,000 experience points. At the lowest cost of 10,000 each, that’s enough for ten uses of Apprentice’s Heart.
Too bad, though—Kael didn’t drop anything at all.
"You... you actually killed soone right in front of ? You’ve gone too far!" Owen couldn’t control himself anymore. He shouted angrily.
Aiden looked at him with a mocking expression and calmly said: "According to Imperial Law Article 139, any Reclasser has the duty and responsibility to fight against dangerous and evil groups like the Evil Demons Guild."
"But Kael isn’t even a mber of the Evil Demons Guild!" Owen felt insulted.
Aiden turned to Luke and asked: "I just heard you say that Kael wanted to join the Evil Demons Guild. You heard it too, right?"
Luke nodded and added: "Imperial Law Article 372 says that if a Reclasser is determined to join an extre evil group and poses a threat to others, they can be killed if necessary."
"As the deputy head of the Sovereign City Reclasser Association, I think Aiden’s actions just fit that situation."
Owen had no words left. After all, even as the grandson of the top minister of the empire, he couldn’t openly break the law.
Of course, as long as no one found out, or if the ones who found out were dealt with, there wouldn’t be a problem.
"I’ll report what you did today," Luke coldly said, then walked off with the four mbers of the Evil Demons Guild to a quiet place for questioning.
Aiden wanted to follow, but Owen took two steps toward him.
"You’re just a lowly Iron Rank Magic Apprentice. You should rember your place. So people aren’t soone like you can get close to!"
Aiden knew exactly who he was talking about.
He and Vespera hadn’t even done anything, but he was being targeted on purpose.
Owen didn’t want Kael to die—wasn’t it just to use Kael to cause trouble for him?
He was smart, that guy in glasses. But not very smart.
"First of all," Aiden said: "Vespera ca to The White City on her own to find ."
"Second, who the hell am I, and what does it have to do with you? You’re not my grandpa," Aiden said clearly and directly.
He often didn’t bother to argue, but that didn’t an he couldn’t mock people.
"You! You, I’ll rember you, Aiden!" Owen clenched his fists, his chest rising and falling quickly—he was clearly very angry.
Aiden smiled slightly and added: "What, are you a pig? No, even a pig would have rembered by now."
After saying that, Aiden turned and walked toward Luke.
Owen stood behind him, gritting his teeth, breathing heavily like a boiling kettle.
Within less than three minutes, the four mbers of the Evil Demons Guild were barely recognizable.
Luke’s thods were brutal, almost like a demon. No, actually, it was even worse than that.
He first cut open the forehead skin of one of the mbers, then pulled out so liquid rcury from his storage space.
It was super corrosive and very heavy.
Once poured on the wound, it would tear the skin and flesh apart, causing terrible pain.
That wasn’t all. Luke even brought out a special potion that could enhance senses.
"Didn’t do this in a while, I’m a bit rusty," Luke said while peeling off the skin, still calm and casual as he talked to Aiden.
"By the way, the 139th article of the Imperial Law doesn’t talk about extre evil groups, does it?"
Aiden frowned at the bloody scene and asked back:
"Do you know the Imperial Law well?"
"Just a little. But what you said and what I said are both wrong." Luke smiled, very brightly.
"Now you understand—even with the Abyss as a danger from outside, people still fight among themselves, fighting for their own desires."
"It’s not just the Empire. All the other countries are much the sa."
"There are many extrely talented Reclassers who never fully grew up before they died," he said.
"Many geniuses have been killed by all sorts of fights—more than those killed by the Evil Demons Guild’s secret attacks."
As he spoke, Luke laughed, but his face showed deep sadness and a quick flash of anger.
Aiden took a deep breath. He knew that Owen was just one example of sothing bigger.
But right now, his only goal was to get rid of the demon curse.
Soon, one of the Evil Demons Guild mbers couldn’t take Luke’s cruel thods anymore and spewed out a lot of useful information.
"Only six left. Let’s go. We need to hurry, or they’ll move again," Luke said, and he took the four mbers with him.
Owen stared at Aiden with a cold, deadly look—like a snake ready to strike.
Under Luke’s guidance, the group arrived at a cave.
A Reclasser in black robes stood at the entrance. Suddenly, his skin cracked open, and tiny holes appeared all over it.
In an instant, countless black little insects flew out of the holes and rushed into the cave at a fast speed.
Luke saw Aiden’s surprised look and explained:
"A Platinum Rank class—Insect Tar. They’re not very strong in direct combat, but they’re good at scouting and providing support."
"You should be careful when you et rare classes in the future. Don’t underestimate them too much." he added.
Aiden nodded. He felt like Luke was teaching him.
But why?
Then, the Insect Tar spoke:
"They’ve moved. There are fifteen left inside. One of them is strong. He already noticed my insects."
Luke sighed. He had expected this.
"Owen, the information is clear. You’re the Puppeteer. It’s your turn to step in."
"I want them alive." Aiden said.
Owen glanced at Luke but didn’t move.
Luke said calmly: "Cleaning up the Evil Demons Guild is sothing every new teacher at Garvard University has to do."
"I can tell Garvard University that your lack of cooperation caused the mission to fail."
Owen’s face turned pale. Garvard University had been around since the world changed, and it had survived until today.
They only trained talented people. Unless the empire was in big trouble, they never got involved.
So secret families were the sa. Even his grandfather was very afraid of Garvard University.
Owen folded his hands and made a strange gesture. A six-pointed star appeared in front of him.
Three golden humanoid puppets, covered in old and mysterious symbols, appeared instantly in the magic circle.
One held a shield, one held a long sword, and the last one was a mage puppet.
Luke turned to Aiden and said: "A Puppeteer, Legendary Rank. They specialize in making and controlling all kinds of puppets. With enough resources, one Puppeteer can be as strong as an entire army."
"Fight a Puppeteer, don’t get into a long fight or a battle of attrition. You need to find their real body quickly and take out the leader."
Owen moved his hands, and Aiden’s voice echoed.
"Can a Puppeteer make exact copies of themselves to trick the enemy?" Aiden asked.
When Owen heard this, he almost fell over.
This was a secret he had been thinking about for a long ti. How did Aiden just say it out of nowhere?
It must have been a mistake!
...
After ten or so minutes, more than a dozen mbers of the Evil Demons Guild had lost the ability to fight and were lying on the ground.
Luke picked out six people, then pulled out so strange and unusual materials and laid them out on the ground in a five-pointed star formation.
"Alright, you just need to step into the circle and wait a little while. The demon curse will be gone in no ti." he said.
"I need to go and question these people as quickly as possible."
Aiden stepped into the circle, and a log ssage appeared.
[You entered the curse transfer circle]
[Demon curse is being transferred]
After about three minutes, Aiden suddenly heard a strange, hissing voice in his ear.
He looked around and saw that the demon curse was gone for real!
But the ten mbers of the Evil Demons Guild were completely dead—no breath left in them.
Aiden felt a big weight lift off his chest. Now he could finally enter the Abyss and fight the boss.
As he stepped out of the circle, sothing felt off. The atmosphere was strange.
Especially Owen—his face looked really nervous and regretful.
"I... I didn’t expect it to go this way," Owen said, his voice shaking. He was trying hard to explain.
Luke ignored him and turned to Aiden and the others, his expression serious.
"Everyone, we’ve got a big problem."
"The majority of the Evil Demons Guild mbers here didn’t just move—they actually slipped into The White City."
