Chapter 304: Noah left the village, Destruction
"What do you want?"
A child's voice, sounding a little annoyed and fair, came from inside the Golden Text, as if spoken after a long time of sobbing.
Aur was a little stunned when he heard these childish voices.
"Who are you?" he asked with a strange expression on his face.
"Huh, what do you mean, 'Who am I,' after calling me for so long?" Lily said with rage. ಠ_ಠ
Naturally, the childish voice belonged to Lily. When she saw how polite Aur was, she still reluctantly talked under the persuasion of her big sister, and now these bastards dared to not recognize her?
Aur became silent.
When he had first met the holy book, the voice was female, but it wasn't as childish as this one and contained some majesty and power, while these voices sounded pure, innocent, and naive.
"Hey, reply to me now, you bastard."
Lily exploded. It was fine if he didn't talk to her previously, but now she had replied, and he still didn't talk to her. With her childish mentality, she was at the point of exploding with anger. 凸(`△´+)
"So you are saying you are the holy magic book?" Aur finally asked at this moment.
"Yes, you bastard," Lily replied with a nod. (‿ˠ‿)
"Good, then give me all the spells you have," Aur said lightly, his lips curling up as if he were saying something casual.
"Wait, what?" Lily was stunned on the spot. She took a deep breath. "Why should I give you any spell, you bastard? Not only did you almost kill my master, but you also kidnapped me. Why would I give you anything?"
Aur smiled mysteriously when he heard this.
"Of course, because I can go back and kill your master right there."
Lily was stunned, about to explode again with indignation, when a sneer appeared on Aur's face.
"Do you think I cannot do anything to you just because you hide in the golden text?" Aur said.
Lily's voice caught in her throat as she felt a deep sense of danger from her intuition, making the entire holy magic book tremble.
After all, these people were just the consciousness of the holy magic book.
Because of its high tier and ancient age, even a high-tier wizard couldn't do anything to the book.
However, removing the consciousness of the book was actually a simple solution that even a low-tier wizard might be able to accomplish if they had the right method.
Thinking of this, Lily was frightened for the first time in her life. It was as if her very existence was threatened at that moment.
Suddenly, a gentle hand landed on her shoulder startling her.
"Big Sister?"
"Let me handle this."
"Thank you, big sister." Lily was overjoyed and slowly let go of the control of the holy magic book.
As Aur waited patiently with amused eyes, he suddenly heard a very majestic and eternal voice.
"What do you want?"
"It's very simple. I want all the spells and the information that you have," Aur replied directly without any hesitation.
This was the voice he had heard when he first encountered the holy magic book in the hidden door of the dungeon. It still sounded as majestic as ever, with an air of aloofness, yet it was tinged with fear.
"When you strip away all the power, all the layers of pretence and aloofness vanish just like that."
Aur's heart was still calm as ever as he patiently waited for a reply.
"Very well."
He didn't need to wait long before he heard the voice.
"It's good that you agreed," Aur nodded. "Otherwise, I would have to take extreme measures as well."
Of course, Aur had no intention of going back to the village again, nor did he dare to, especially since he seemed to have incurred the wrath of that tier four.
Besides, with the walking time bomb William, he would die anyway. There was basically no hope in the village now.
Inside the golden text:
"Sister," Lily frowned, "you are giving him such a thing so easily?"
"We don't have any choice here, Lily."
Lily could hear a deep, tired voice from her sister, which made her not question her big sister for long.
Meanwhile, inside the village, Noah and the First Elder carried the ashes of William back to the destroyed office and went through a secret passage to arrive at a huge door.
"Lord Sky, this is William."
After placing the jar on the ground with a respectful bow, Noah left the place. The First Elder also bowed and left with Noah.
"Are we just leaving like this?" the First Elder asked in a perplexed tone.
"Yes, Lord Sky has already instructed us to leave after delivering William's ashes. What happens after that is not our concern," Noah said, giving the First Elder a deep look.
The First Elder's eyes seemed a little lost at the moment.
"What shall we do then?"
"I am leaving this village. If you want, you could become the village leader," Noah said, his head bowed.
"Hmm, you are going… Wait, what!?" The First Elder was shocked when he heard this.
"You heard me. I am leaving this village with Lord Sky. There is no future for me here."
As Noah's voice faded, he disappeared with the wind, his figure blurring.
The First Elder stood with widened eyes for a long time, still not believing what he had heard.
After a while, the First Elder started to laugh.
"Finally, I have gotten the position of village leader. From now on, only my name will resound throughout this village, and I will rule all."
The First Elder tightened his fist, leaving the place with a snicker.
"What a fool."
He went toward the other forces to unite them, as he still needed minions if he wanted to rule.
"But for some reason, I feel hollow in my heart," the First Elder grumbled with frustration.
However, he soon shook his head and didn't pay attention to it.
When something is earned through hardship, even a piece of metal can be cherished. If something is just given to you, even gold will feel hollow and invaluable in one's eyes.
Back to the underground, where the huge door was, the ashes of William were slowly combining and seemed to be forming flesh and muscle.
At this time, the huge door opened, and a man with long black hair and black eyes emerged from the room, his eyes cold.
"William, huh..." He looked at the vase, and his expression changed slightly.
Mana was gathering towards him at that moment.
"These… this is?" Lord Sky had a confused expression on his face.
He lightly waved his hand, and the jar came to his side. He went back inside.
The inside of the huge door was a simple room with minimalist furniture and a simple bed. Apart from that, there was nothing more.
If Lord Sky weren't here, then this room could easily be mistaken for a servant's quarters instead.
Lord Sky waved his hand again, and a strong vitality emerged from the ashes.
Within moments, flesh, muscles, and internal organs were formed anew, each detail meticulously crafted. Blood and Qi merged seamlessly with the newly formed tissues, infusing them with life.
With the combination of blood and Qi, the heart started beating again, and all the functions of the body operated once more with the guidance of that thin trace of vitality, which had already grown to the point of an ordinary person.
The eyes flashed, and the closed eyes slowly opened.
"Where am I?" William said lightly, still in a trance.
Lord Sky simply shook his head, and a cloud appeared in front of him again, dressing William once more in a simple martial attire.
At this moment, William's trance finally ended as he looked around with a horrified expression on his face.
His attention wasn't on the terrifying men around him but instead inside his mental space, where his spells were all rotating around. However, there was something missing, which brought despair into his heart.
"Nooo…"
William crouched down with a horrified expression, sobbing directly.
"What should I do?"
There was unconcealed fear on his face, making him despair from the bottom of his heart.
"How interesting. Tell me, what has happened, boy?" There was no emotion in Lord Sky's eyes.
"Yes, I will tell you," William shouted with a ferocious expression, his eyes unconcealed with a murderous intention.
"Since I can't have it, you can't have it as well, you bastard Aur."
With that said, William told the story truthfully, narrating every detail but subtly glorifying Aur's misdeed.
"Hmm, so you are saying this Golden Text has such a magical effect?" Lord Sky mumbled.
For a moment, William saw a purple light shining in the black eyes of Lord Sky.
The next moment, however, his expression drastically changed.
"I have broken through to tier two-"
Boom!
With William at the centre, a sky-destructing force emerged, destroying everything in its path covering the entire village and even some part of the wilderness along with it.
