Chapter 114: Sebastian's Story
Aur's crimson eyes narrowed as he held a stainless black ring in his hand.
"The things that were written in Sebastian's diary were all true," he muttered with a strange expression on his face, while having a deep sigh of relief.
The Sebastian man was a complete idiot but at the same time had some brains as well.
From the diary Aur had read when Hanma had appeared in front of him, immediately he thought it was his lucky encounter and praised himself as the luckiest day of his life.
And he was even more excited when Hanma showed his power and proved to be quite useful to him as well.
However, Sebastian knew his limitation of being a person who barely took three steps in the awakening ceremony, making him not even be educated in the academy.
Although Hanma promised him that he would find him some treasures to upgrade his talent, Sebastian was a little doubtful about it.
Either way, he didn't care much about it. After all, he was living his best life after Hanma appeared.
All Sebastian wanted previously was to have a happy wife and live a peaceful life. However, human greed was never satisfied; it only grows with time in a bottomless pit with no stop to it.
From then on, he lived his life using Hanma's ability to shock everyone.
Even if someone tried to harm him, Hanma would give him the power to defeat, slaughter and kill people as he liked even if they are wizards. However, one faithful day, Hanma spoke.
"I have a higher inheritance for you, my inheritor. As long as you go to this certain place, then you will be able to earn my complete inheritance."
After Hanma told such a thing, Sebastian was even more excited.
Since he worked for the landlords as a humble handy boy from time to time, he lived in the middle of a forest outside the city, just near the residence of the landlords.
Sebastian walked out of the house into the wilderness with hopes for a bright future.
After he reached the cave and searched for the important things, the old man Hanma and Sebastian somehow fell into an argument, and then Sebastian returned to his own residence, while hiding the ring in a certain location.
It wasn't written in the diary what the argument was about.
But Sebastian knew that the old man would come to bite him, so he had written a diary for the weakness of Hanma one by one, observing him as carefully as he could.
Before one day, he walked out of the room without the ring carrying with him on an excuse away from Hanma, telling the inheritance cave of Hanma directly to the village.
When this was known to the village leader, Noah was immediately happy and rewarded Sebastian generously. His reputation in the village instantly rose up in sky-high value.
Before long, he was declared as the hero of the village as everyone cheered for him.
However, that was also the reason Hanma killed Sebastian later, and the rest was the scene he had already seen.
Aur mused to himself as a sneer gradually formed on his face.
"Reputation, oh reputation, the meaningless thing it becomes a burden to you if you want to garner it for just a moment of pride, but if you manipulate it to your likings, it will be a weapon…" he chuckled to himself as the gang leader.
Aur has faced numerous things in his life, although he was still relatively younger in his previous life.
"But it doesn't matter. Who am I to judge people? It's better to improve yourself rather than judging people."
Aur touched the cold ring with a smile on his face.
The blood he had dropped in the ring was actually just a mortal's blood. From the diary he had read, only the people with weaker strength of a mortal could open the ring.
Aur's blood wouldn't work. However, even if it did, he wouldn't want to use it on the ring. Who knows what type of trap was used in the ring?
"That old monster was still stronger than I expected, even after I fought him after destroying his source of power." Aur cursed. However, he has at least found how strong his strength is at now.
The spells of Hanma were very few because he destroyed the ring, but still, he had some spells left in him that was all at least tier one spells used in full power.
Unlike the ones they used, although the spells used by Aur is still at tier one, however, the power is like a small baby compared to be used by higher tier wizards.
"My strength is comparable to a first-tier wizard," Aur muttered with excitement.
Not an average wizard as well. Although Hanma's power could barely fit in the category of tier one wizards, but as an old monster, even without his spells, he was terrifyingly experienced in combat.
Aur could bet if his physique wasn't so strong to completely nullify some spells of his, then still Hanma could beat him as easily as crushing bugs.
If Aur had found other wizards who were as strong as Hanma in the fight, the fight would have lasted so long at all.
With almost no weak point, and even if Hanma showed weak points, it was to bait Aur into falling for it.
Aur had narrowly missed some attacks as well, which would have made him either dead or seriously injured. If he had even slightly put his guard down, the consequences he would have to face would be terrifying.
He sighed thinking of this.
As he walked out of his room.
"Young master?" Lucy asked with a bewildered expression.

Aur's expression morphed into an irritation. "I lost some money gambling. Now I need more money. The academy doesn't pay nearly enough for it, so I will go outside the wilderness to hunt you."
"Yes, young master," Lucy said with a pitiful expression.
