Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 179 - Amanda's Hidden Reason

"B-But, you never accepted a disciple since your last one," Otman carefully said, as this topic was already a forbidden one to speak up with Amanda. This was a known fact, as her first disciple ever, and the one who held her heart at that time, betrayed her, betraying the academy, making her forced to kill him with her own hands, and since then she never smiled, ever again!

Amanda's face didn't change, but the vibe coming from her changed drastically to be extremely terrifying. This topic was really and off one to speak about, however her current decision made the four feel extremely skeptical about this.

She never accepted a disciple ever before. Amanda didn't say another word, as she knew her reasons to decide that were only appreciated by her alone.

The moment she saw him, she was reminded by that mage of the past, very special, very promising, very unique. However that mage had already betrayed the academy, and despite her killing him, he had left a great rift inside the academy that up till date wasn't cured or healed.

She decided to adopt this mage, watch him closely, and if he showed any doubtful actions, she wouldn't hesitate to kill him!

That intention of her made everyone feel the coldness in her air, and after some moments, she regained her previous composure, and glanced at Arthur with a very serious look.

Cesile, on the side, knew she was going on a losing competition here, and this was also what the other three thought of. This vice dean was already a hegemony that no sane person would refuse to be under her.

Everyone helplessly sighed, and all the excitement they had from before vanished completely. Arthur was considered to be already taken!

As for Arthur, the main instigator of all this, he didn't realize his actions had attracted the attention of such a merciless predator. He was immersed in his own world, where he felt that his own energy was about to take a giant leap to the next level, however there was something that kept him from doing so.

That hideous cursed book of his dragonair faction!

Every time his energy would soar and gain momentum, he felt some strange wisps coming towards him from the ring in his finger. These wisps fouled his energy, preventing him from moving forward even a single step higher!

'That damned dragonair master of the old! I couldn't believe a dead man could do all this, even after all this time!'

The only way for him was to distract his thoughts, try to fight these wisps, however every time he managed to isolate some, others would appear instantly to defile his energy again!

'This isn't good! That book is really troublesome!'

He didn't know what else to do! His body had already reached a dead end in his upgrade, and he had the feeling his body and energy required slight push forward and he would reach a new level, where he could utilize all these absorbed energies.

However, this small feat couldn't be achieved now! that book with that cursed soul in it stood in his way!

The only way he had right now was to stop this training session, remove that ring, and then he would continue again. however, he doubted the academy officials would let him do that!

This made him in such a dilemma, and he started to think about other ways to deal with that book.

'Why don't I try and summon it here? I might have a hard battle, but at least I would have a chance!' he muttered to himself, and the next moment he tried to delve with his consciousness into his ring, summoning the book here.

Just as he tried to do so, the book suddenly appeared inside his soul, floating there calmly, yet it was surrounded with a very evil aura!

This sudden move of his caused his ring on the outside to cause some fluctuations, very minute though, yet they weren't missed by the keen eyes of Amanda.

"Stay here," she muttered, as she instantly disappeared as she reappeared the next moment beside Arthur's body. she then put her palm over his back, and closed her eyes.

"What is she trying to do?" Otman muttered, while Cesile recalled the time she tried to pry over Arthur's body. she just smiled, faintly, without saying a word, as she knew Arthur would react fiercely to Amanda's intervention.

However, nothing happened, which made her wonder about what was going on with Arthur right now, was he ok?

Inside Arthur's body, the moment the book appeared there, it suddenly opened its pages, fast flashing them like it was possessed. The first ten pages were flipped fast, and the eleven pages appeared there, where a hideous face was drawn, with eyes closed, and darkness surrounding him.

The moment this face appeared, Arthur felt a shudder in his heart, extreme innate fear from the depth of his soul, as if he met a predator, his nemesis.

And suddenly, that face had its eyes opened, directly glancing at him!

"Kakaka, you foolish little mage! Do you think you can get rid of me this easily? Kakaka!"

Just as these words erupted, the face suddenly started to control darkness around it, stirring it like it was boiling fog. The next moment two things occurred, the darkness started to move outside the book, like silent toxic gas, and the wisp of will of Amanda entered his body!

"Help!"

He didn't care who was prying on his body, as he screamed out in panic, as he hurriedly shouted:

"This is a cursed soul technique, aimed to completely shatter my soul and gain control over my body!"

His words were perfectly heard by Amanda, who got shocked by the scene she just saw right now. she knew something was off the moment she felt these fluctuations on his ring, as she sensed a very evil and very ancient aura that she would never forget!
