Chapter 871: I Won’t Compete with You
Lachlan spoke frankly, without intending to hide anything from Violet.
To be honest, he desired power just as much as she did, and upon learning about Ulric, he had no intention of yielding to Violet.
In essence, Lachlan and the girl had saved each other’s lives, canceling out any debts of gratitude.
When faced with a situation, their relationship would determine their actions.
Truth be told, Lachlan didn’t feel much of a connection with Violet.
Of course, he had no interest in concealing his intentions or intentionally deceiving her.
In the end, he would deceive Violet a little.
Violet, after all, couldn’t be considered an enemy.
Even if Lachlan desired power, he wouldn’t stoop to such low acts.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
So, he confronted Violet directly.
Upon hearing these words, a look of surprise appeared on Violet’s delicate face.
“You… you’ve also mastered the embryonic form of the Way of Death?” she asked in astonishment.
“That’s right! So, I won’t hide it from you. I also want to seize the Way of Death,” Lachlan nodded and admitted.
With his words, Violet’s expression changed several times as she looked at Lachlan.
Finally, she bit her lip and asked, “Lachlan, thank you for telling me. No matter what, you didn’t hide it from me.”
At this point, she sneered and inquired, “So, are you still willing to help me kill Ulric?”
Lachlan nodded in response, “Of course! Without killing Ulric, we won’t obtain the complete Way of Death.”
Violet asked again, “When the time comes, will you also kill me?”
After asking this question, she stared straight into Lachlan’s eyes, as if waiting for an answer.
However, Lachlan shook his head, “No! But I will compete with you… for the kill! To strive for the final blow against Ulric!”
Lachlan spoke the truth.
Killing Ulric with his own hands would have a greater chance of seizing his fortune and obtaining the Way of Death that rightfully belonged to Ulric.
Lachlan certainly wouldn’t kill Violet, but he would surely compete for that kill.
Upon hearing this, Violet looked at Lachlan, and a hint of a smile appeared on her lovely face.
She smiled, illuminated by the flickering flames, akin to a spring flower.
There was no sign of anger or negativity in her beautiful eyes.
Instead, a sense of relief arose. “Then you don’t have to compete with me! I… will give it to you. Lachlan, I’ll give you the Way of Death.”
Violet bit her lip and spoke firmly. “You won’t compete with me?”
Lachlan’s expression changed slightly, surprised by her words.
Violet nodded and said, “You are stronger than me and fully capable of killing me to take it by force. But you said you wouldn’t do that, and how could I not understand that? Moreover, you have more potential and will surely reach greater heights than me in the future. Besides, we have a common enemy. That beast, Maximus, you will confront him sooner or later, Lachlan. I don’t know if I will be able to avenge my grandfather and father in my lifetime, but I believe you can. Promise me that if one day you confront the Ancient Willis family, you won’t spare that beast, Maximus. Help me tear him to pieces, can you?”
As Violet spoke these words, her eyes revealed a sense of powerlessness, as well as a glimmer of hatred and determination.
Hearing these words, Lachlan’s heart was touched. The next moment, he nodded solemnly and said, “Alright, I promise you!
“To Maximus, I also desire his death for my own satisfaction!”
Mr. Maximus, a former member of the Ancient Willis family, is likely the mastermind behind his grandfather’s rebellion against the Ancient Willis family. Moreover, he is indirectly responsible for the death of his own parents.
According to Lachlan, the Elder of the Wicked Bone is Maximus’ lackey.
“Well then, let’s go. We’ll go find Ulric right away!”
“To avoid nightmares in the long night! What if someone else kills him?”
Violet nodded and grabbed Lachlan’s arm, getting up.
Within the Mirror of Trials, where day and night were unknown, Lachlan finally left the valley and, together with Savannah, followed Violet to search for Ulric’s whereabouts.
…
In absolute darkness, a figure completely concealed its aura while practicing the “Heaven Gap Great Technique,” as if it was tailored specifically for them.
“The progress in strength is astonishing!”
“Gagagaga…”
Isa’s voice, if not intentionally controlled, sounded somewhat harsh, like the laughter of a duck.
Within the Mirror of Trials, there were no sun and moon, and without any other light sources, it was immersed in complete darkness.
There was no trace of light!
Such environmental conditions were almost non-existent outside.
As long as the sun and other celestial bodies existed, there would always be light shining upon the earth.
Even on a cloudy night, there would still be a glimmer of light.
Even in an underground cave, absolute darkness was impossible.
After all, light could be refracted and scattered, reaching every corner.
It was impossible for absolute darkness to exist!
However, within this Mirror of Trials, as long as there were no other light sources, it was enveloped in complete darkness everywhere.
For Isa, who had grasped the rudiments of the Dark Path, this environment was simply a great advantage.
At this moment, Isa’s strength had reached the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, and his mental power had just entered the Internal Fusion Realm.
And now, he was breaking through the bottleneck of Void Reclusion!
Buzz!
Accompanied by a wave of fluctuations, a powerful aura emanated from Isa.
Then, the aura instantly converged and disappeared!
Having finally mastered the complete Dark Path, he successfully advanced to the initial stage of Void Reclusion.
His whole person merged into the darkness.
Completely vanished!
“No one can discover me! Gagagaga…”
“I am truly a born assassin!”
“Tremble, you little trash.”
Within this Mirror of Trials, Isa relied on his ability to blend into the shadows, mastering stealth techniques, and who knows how many participants he had killed.
Now, having fully mastered the Dark Path, his stealth ability had once again improved, to the point where he could completely merge with the darkness.
This assassination skill had undoubtedly undergone a qualitative change.
This twisted mind of his only desired to go on a killing spree and experience the pleasure of slaughter.
On the other side!
Lachlan followed Violet as they continued in a certain direction when suddenly, he felt a kind of causal connection.
As someone who possessed the Dragon Gaze Heavenward Technique, with his spiritual power realm once again advancing, he became more sensitive to certain sensations.
“Violet, wait a moment!”
“The tracking technique you used on Ulric, it remains effective for seven days, right?”
“No need to rush to find him! Come with me first!”
A change came over Lachlan’s expression as he made his final decision.
The next moment, following that slight causal connection, he deviated slightly from the original direction and hurriedly went on his way.
