Crimson Overlord

Chapter 55

Orpheus, capable of using five attributes, was bound to send a storm through the academies; like in Saint Star Academy, another monster slightly stronger was born here.

Leon’s face was cold as ice; he was filled with rage but decided to control himself; he couldn’t let his killing intent slip. This man must be eliminated at all costs. He must visit his mother and ask for her help. Like she had done until now, helping him get rid of anything that threatened his position and interests, she would undoubtedly help him get rid of Orpheus.

The twin goddesses were surprised as well. Ella had the feeling that Orpheus could control more attributes than what was shown, it was just an hunch, but her instinct rarely lies.

Among those present, only Alvinia knew Orpheus better, and seeing the number five displayed after his test; she couldn’t help but chuckle. Amused of what would happen if they knew he could control every attribute. The whole world would tremble because, except for him, nobody else could do that, not even in their homeworld, not even the extremely talented Dragon prince could.

Sometimes, Alvinia would think that the truth that they created this monster was not real; an unknown force was at work. It was how people believed that it was them, the seven who created this world. They didn’t create this world; they only created the races living inside it.

‘Sigh! There’s no need to think about that for now. Let’s enjoy this life until they come.’ Alvinia mumbled and threw those nonsensical thoughts to the back of her head.

”Wow! We have an Elementalist in our class. What great news. It will be good if you can control them all.” Quinn said, and the other students heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

They thought there was no way he could control them all. The pressure they felt when they saw that he could control five elements diminished. It was exactly what Quinn wanted when she said those words. She did not doubt that this young man was proficient in all five attributes; from what he had shown since his arrival, he must be capable of that much.

”Ok next student, the Xiao twins,” Quinn called out, and Xiao Qingye walked forward and put her hand on the new crystal; the result was Wind and Ice, while for her sister, it was Wind and Water.

The next one to come forward was Alvinia’s childhood friend, the dark Elf Delia. She could use Wind and Earth.

Finally, it was Nemesis’s turn, and when she put her hand on the crystal, another Elementalist was born: Darkness, Fire, and Lightning.

”Sigh! This year’s special class is really special. Okay, that’s all for today. You are dismissed.”

Right after she said those words, the school’s bell rang, announcing the end of classes.

Orpheus left to go rent a mansion; now that Lilith had come, they would need their private space more than anything. Xiaosu proposed to go with him, and strangely, he accepted. The two leave the classroom together.

Amber and Xiaowen walked to the cafeteria together and brought their meals. Right after they finished, Xiaowen, who was burning with questions, asked.

”So your family is specialized in the Blood attribute?”

”You can say that,” Amber said before frowning, she could feel someone secretly watching them from somewhere, and because her spirit perception was weak, she couldn’t locate this person.

”I see, your young master is really incredible. An Elementalist with Five attributes. I wonder who he really is?” Xiaowen mumbled in admiration.

”I wonder.” Because Amber was focused on searching for this person, she answered absentmindedly, making Xiaowen suspicious.

Fortunately, Amber quickly noticed her blunder and immediately tried to correct it.

”I meant my master is so awesome that I wonder if I truly know him. He is most exceptional in the family. We are all proud of him.”

”It is that so?” Although she was still suspicious, Xiaowen couldn’t help but believe in Amber’s excuse. She changed the subject, and they began talking about women’s subjects.

”Do you have someone you fancy?” Xiaowen suddenly asked this question, and Amber’s answer was immediate.

”None. What about you?” Amber asked Xiaowen in return.

”Hum! I don’t have someone I particularly like, but if I have a man, he should be awesome like my brother and your young master.”

Amber rolled her eyes at her friend. Previously she was not too fond of her master, but the moment he showed how exceptional he was, her attitude flipped. Women are indeed fickle creatures; as a woman herself, she could tell.

After spending a few minutes together, Amber decided to separate from Xiaowen; the latter wanted to go shopping outside of the academy while she wanted to visit the library. There were two reasons for this choice; the first one was because she wished to acquire more knowledge, while the second reason was to lure out the person spying on her. She was sure this had something to do with her master; knowing this person’s identity, she would connect to the mastermind behind whoever it was.

“See you tomorrow, Xiaowen,” Amber said before leaving the cafeteria. Xiaowen soon followed.

Soon, a man also left the cafeteria and followed Amber. This man was called Daneel Stone, the 1st prince of the Stone Kingdom, one of the vassal kingdoms of the Wratharis Empire. Daneel is Leon’s subordinate, and currently, he is on a mission.

His mission was to get close to Amber to gain information.

The library was big as one would expect of the biggest academy. Amber was searching for a book holding detailed information on origin beasts.

This book happened to be on the tallest shelf, just as she was about to pick it up.

Daneel appeared and swiftly took the book and presented it to her.

”Thank you, but that isn’t the book I want.”

Amber said before jumping lightly and taking the book she wanted; it was right next to the one Daneel took. He stood there frozen, not knowing what to do. His first attempt to get closer to the little vampire failed.

‘Forget it; I’ll have plenty of opportunities later.’ So he believed.
