“I personally saw that William drank the red wine, the demonic essence was in that glass, how could it have no effect?”
Keith went out to find Graham, and the two of them entered a secluded room. Keith frowned deeply as Graham revealed that he couldn’t sense the demonic essence in William’s body, thus unable to activate the demonic magic and kill William.
He even wanted to ask if Graham’s mastery of demonic powers was insufficient.
But after hesitating, he decided not to voice it out.
“The demonic essence has disappeared!” Graham was also frowning deeply. After a moment of silence, he took a fearful deep breath and muttered to himself, “Could it be… that William is not as simple as he seems?”
“A novice Soulmancer, a rookie! What’s so special about that?” Keith was very disdainful of William’s power. Thinking about William’s abilities and then considering Graham’s failure in such a trivial matter, he even doubted if he had chosen the wrong person.
With such abilities…
And yet he arrogantly claimed he could control the entire Bell family.
“There was no reaction after drinking the demonic essence, and it’s not even the state after consuming a purification potion. Moreover, I personally refined that demonic essence and mixed my blood into it, connecting it to my consciousness. It just disappeared!” Graham, biting his teeth, said in a tone of disbelief, “The moment William swallowed it, I could no longer sense it.”
“What? A purification potion couldn’t cleanse it?” Keith almost laughed out loud. A demonic essence that couldn’t be cleansed by a purification potion, and now Graham was telling him that it disappeared the moment William swallowed it?
Was this a joke?
“You don’t understand!” Graham had realized something was amiss. Logically, even an elite mid-level Soulmancer who got hit with his “Mind Poison” would have no escape but death.
Could it be that William was a high-level Soulmancer?
Graham, deeply frightened, realized the danger and prepared to flee.
As they were talking, the room door was suddenly knocked on.
“Who?!” Graham’s pupils abruptly constricted, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
William directly opened the room door, standing at the entrance and looking at them, a smile gradually appearing on his face: “Demonic essence, huh?” 𝓵𝓲𝓫𝒓𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝓶
“Gulp!”
Graham swallowed hard.
The smile on William’s face seemed eerie to him.
“Hahaha! You had a choice of heaven, but you chose hell! Interesting!” Keith couldn’t help but burst into laughter. In his eyes, a minor character like William, if killed, would not warrant a deep investigation by the 13th Bureau.
They could just burn the body somewhere, leaving no remains, and see how the 13th Bureau would investigate then.
However, Graham didn’t dare to speak. He wasn’t as confident as Keith.
Did he really think he was invincible?
Since William knew they had put demonic essence in the wine and still dared to confront them, there must be a problem.
At least William didn’t seem like someone with a problematic mind.
But Keith…
What a fool!
Graham’s eyes narrowed slightly, preparing to take the opportunity to flee when Keith and William start fighting, and thereafter leave New York for good.
There was something truly strange about William!
“Have you ever seen the gates of hell?” William looked at Keith and smiled, “How about I give you a glimpse?”
“Hmph! Die! You trash!” Keith laughed maniacally, surrounded by a black mist. The mist suddenly enveloped William, like a monstrous beast’s gaping maw swallowing him.
“Sacrificing your own soul for power, you won’t even have the right to reincarnate after death. For your grandfather’s sake, I’ll let you live one day longer than him.” With a casual wave of his hand, William dispersed the black mist. Keith spat out blood, his dark aura shattered, his face pale as paper, and he staggered, falling to the ground.
William had nullified all his powers but did not kill him immediately.
After all, Daniel was once his servant, and William decided to spare Keith’s life until Daniel’s death.
But the day after Daniel dies, Keith will surely die!
William’s words would definitely become reality!
If someone tried to change it, they would have to die alongside Keith!
Seeing the situation go south, Graham tried to flee, but as soon as he moved his foot, he crouched down in pain, beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolling down his forehead, falling like raindrops.
“You… who exactly are you?” Graham knelt on one knee, his face contorted with bulging veins, looking up at William in disbelief. He couldn’t believe that this was a mere novice Soulmancer.
For he felt his soul being torn apart by tens of thousands of evil spirits!
As for what exactly was happening, he had no idea.
With a flick of his finger, William drew a powerful black mystical force from Graham’s body, converging it into a pinpoint of light on his fingertip.
The universal law?!
It was because of the universal law that he had personally killed his woman and so many old friends.
Was the universal law still playing with him, applying the Law of Cause and Effect?
This universal law should be abolished or destroyed when the opportunity arises!
Without it, there wouldn’t be such rigid application of the Law of Cause and Effect on those around him, right?
But William believed that the universal law had its own consciousness.
Or rather, he had never explored these things before. What was it that controlled the destiny of others in the obscurity of the universe?
With a flick of his finger, the black mystical force was dispersed among the other “Chosen Ones.”
“Serve Daniel Bell well, for you shall die the day after he does,” William paused and glanced at Keith, “But you needn’t fear. Once you’re dead, it’s all over, as your soul has already been sacrificed.”
William realized that Keith, like Luna, must have made some sort of pact with something that was expelled from his body. Once they died, everything would return to that entity.
Truly a method to gain power.
Keep getting stronger!
William shook his head and left the room, seemingly indifferent to how strong “he” became. After all – he had already been invincible for a billion years!
Keith lay collapsed on the ground, staring at William’s retreating figure. Finally, he exchanged a glance with Graham and asked with a trembling voice, “Who… who exactly is he?”
“How would I know?” Graham had just endured the excruciating pain of his soul being tortured, a pain that seemed to emanate from the depths of his soul and was infinitely magnified, yet he couldn’t even faint from it.
William’s power was beyond his imagination.
To think, just now, he hadn’t even seen William make a move.
If he had to describe any action, it was just a wave of the hand.
“Heh!” Graham gave a self-deprecating laugh, filled with bitterness.
They had thought about killing William?
Now, doesn’t that seem utterly ridiculous?
“What do we do now?” Keith was completely lost, not knowing what to do.
Graham exhaled deeply, stood up, and said, “What else can we do? Didn’t you hear him? If Daniel Bell dies, we die!”
…
Keith was left with lingering fear. Previously, he had thought about killing all the other members of the Bell family, including his father and mother.
Now, he fears he can only be a well-behaved grandson, hoping every day that Daniel Bell lives a long life of a hundred years, and if given the chance, he would genuinely wish to extend his grandfather’s life by a thousand years.
