Chapter 201 SSS-Rank Shadow Fox
"Well, that's nice," he said. "But sorry—your apology isn't accepted."
CRACK!
The sound of bone breaking shocked everyone, and everywhere fell silent—even the sound of the wind blowing could be heard.
They looked at Damien, whose life was leaving his body. He had an unwilling expression.
He had thought that since his father was here, he had escaped. Seeing his father beg for him, he felt touched and reassured that he was safe, even though he was currently weak.
But he never thought that Draco would kill him—especially right in front of his father. He hadn't expected this at all.
His eyes lost their light, still carrying an unwilling expression.
The entire crowd looked at Draco in shock. What audacity did he have to kill the young master of a main clan before the head of the clan?
They couldn't help but take a peek at Romans, whose expression was malicious—he couldn't wait to devour and skin Draco alive.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Romans roared in anger. The wind blew, forming a whirlwind. Thunder struck, and the weather changed.
The Everett clan elders were raging with anger and killing intent, unable to wait to kill Draco.
Tera, who saw this, knew what was about to happen. In a flash, his figure disappeared and reappeared before Draco's body.
Romans stretched out his right hand, and an Originat energy hand formed, piercing through the barrier like paper, heading straight for Draco.
But before it could reach Draco, it dispersed. Romans raised an eyebrow.
"What are you doing, Tera?" he asked, his voice filled with visible anger.
"Protecting my student," Tera chuckled.
"What student? This young man dared to defy me and kill my son! I will kill him to show that I cannot be defied!" Romans roared.
Tera chuckled at this. "But he didn't do anything wrong. It was about strength—there was no law stating he couldn't kill the other contestants. I'm sure if he had lost, your son would have killed him."
"Tera, are you sure you want to go against me?" Romans asked in a deep voice.
"No one would want to provoke a main clan like yours, but I must protect the righteous. This young man did nothing wrong. If anyone else is also innocent, I would protect them as well," Tera said.
When the others heard this, they snickered. Who was he trying to fool with these sweet words? But they didn't bother exposing him since they understood the message he was trying to send.
Romans frowned in anger when he saw this. He couldn't really fight here since Tera was defending Draco, and Draco wasn't in the wrong at all.
Tera was right—Draco had followed the rules. Also, the entire crowd was watching this unfold all over Calonia. Romans had to be careful with his actions.
When Rose saw Draco kill Damien, a headache surged through her, making her feel dizzy. She walked out of the arena with a sad face and heavy heart. Alya noticed this and followed her to calm her down—or to stop her from doing anything reckless.
As for Draco, the one at the center of all this, he held Damien's corpse in his hands.
"Speaking of which, Xylara, if I extract his shadow, would he still have his talent and ability?" Draco asked.
"No, he would be an ordinary shadow. But there are some shadows that mutate, developing their own shadow skills or unique abilities."
When Draco heard this, he was surprised. He fell into thought. If Damien's shadow proved to be ordinary, then he would have his other shadows plunder him.
He also noticed what was happening outside, but since Tera was protecting him, there was no need to intervene. He silently remembered this favor from Luminari Academy.
Draco put Damien's corpse on the ground. Everyone was confused as to why he did so. He bent down slightly, using his finger to touch Damien's body.
"Emerge," Draco commanded.
A large influx of Originat gathered around Damien. A dark shadow aura flowed out from his body.
Tera and the rest were surprised by this. They looked at Draco suspiciously—they could feel a noble aura.
It wasn't just them; Draco could feel it too. It seemed like something shocking was about to happen. Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire
"YIP!" "YAP!"
A fox's cry shocked everyone, including Draco. A shadow fox appeared before them, with nine tails behind it.
Then, the shadow transformed into a familiar face and a human-like body, though parts of it remained unclear.
"Greetings, Master," the shadow knelt down with reverence.
[You have awakened an SSS-Rank Shadow Fox.]
[Host has accomplished a hidden mission – Awaken an SSS-Ranked Shadow.]
[Reward granted: Shadow Ruler Domain.]
Draco was surprised by these notifications. He quickly withdrew the SSS-Ranked Shadow Fox—it was already garnering too much attention. He would check its status and the system rewards later.
He was also shocked that Damien possessed such a high-level shadow. Moreover, the shadow's voice was fluent, with no struggle, signifying just how powerful it was.@@novelbin@@
The entire crowd watched, stupefied. Draco sighed. If he hadn't acted quickly to awaken the shadow while the corpse was still warm, he wouldn't have been able to do so.
Romans, who witnessed this, was furious. Even his son's shadow wasn't left alone. But his greedy mind was now focused on Draco—he couldn't wait to eliminate him. If someone had Draco's ability, they could become an unstoppable force.
The Five Element Dragon Spell, the Thunder Art, his weapon, and now this shadow extraction ability—it was all too shocking. The greed of those around him burned fiercely. They never expected Draco to be a walking treasure trove.
Yes, he was. Each of his abilities was defying logic and could create a top-tier organization.
The members of the main clans present laid their eyes on Draco, unable to wait to exterminate him and take everything he had.
Meanwhile, Draco spoke.
"Xylara, why is his shadow so strong?" he asked, delighted.
"I guess he had a dormant, powerful fox bloodline, and becoming a shadow removed the limitation that only a female could awaken the bloodline," Xylara explained.
Draco smiled. This shadow was now the strongest in his shadow army, and he could tell that it had the potential to grow even further.
Then, he felt numerous gazes locked onto him—some filled with greed, others with killing intent. Draco simply smiled at them.
When the Everett Clan elders saw this, they felt enraged. Draco was toying with them.
"Young man, you dare to laugh? No matter where you go, the Everett Clan will hunt you to the ends of the earth. Anyone related to you will face our wrath!"
"Young man, you are playing with fire, and now the fire will burn you!"
The numerous elders of the Everett Clan began shouting, but Draco maintained his smile.
Then, he shifted his gaze toward the people of the Night Clan.
"Oh, I had almost forgotten," he murmured.
His gaze then moved to Fian, who stood beside Astron.
