Chapter 59: The Third Elder
"Are you fine with the apology, Miss Amelia?" Williams asked with a smile on his face.
"Yes, I am fine." Amelia replied in a cold tone.
"What about you, my dear maid?"
"Young master, I…" she hid behind him and started to shiver uncontrollably.
Seeing this, William frowned and looked at Henry with a questionable gaze.
"What, what do you want me to do about it?" Henry asked with a frown on his face as well.
"Hmm, what should he do, Angel?" William patted her head in a tender gaze.
"Young master, I… I-" tears filled her eyes as she had a hesitating expression.
"You don't have to reply if you don't want to." William whispered in a gentle expression as his gaze turned cold while he looked at Henry again.
"What are you looking at me for again? I already apologised."
"Get yourself out of my sight from now on, or I will kill you the moment I see you again." William looked at Henry in a deadpan expression.
Hearing this, Henry looked at him with a face full of surprise, as if he had heard the greatest joke in history.
"Are you trying to kill me?" Henry's laugh resounded throughout the passageway as he suddenly became expressionless.
"Has Henry lost his mind…" Jack thought with a frown on his face which soon turned into a smirk.
"That is even better than I can finally get rid of the competition. Sure, William can step over my head because of his talent and the backing of the village leader, but this guy Henry has become arrogant ever since he has joined the academy. I will let these two guys destroy each other." he internally sneered while outwardly he had a worried expression on his face.
"We should stop Henry, he has become a madman…" Jack voiced in a concerned tone, however, nobody moved.
After all, the status of Henry and William was evident, and nobody wanted to join these guys' power struggle for such childish things.
"Have you become mad, Henry?" William rubbed his ears and looked at Henry with a casual tone.
"You have gone too far, Williams, do you really think you can do anything just because you have a high-grade talent and the backing of a leader-" Henry said as he seemed to pause.
"Exactly, I can do anything," William said with a sneer on his face.
"You… today I have to teach you what real strength is then…" Henry said in an eerily calm tone.
"Oh, teach me." Williams said with his voice cracking in amusement.
"Exactly, I will teach you."
Boom!
The sound barrier broke as the figure of Henry disappeared.
Instantly, he appeared right before Williams as he extended his hands forward with the momentum.
Williams' eyes widened as he felt a terrifying force push him as he was sent hurtling ten steps back.
"This…" William looked at Henry in shock only to see a giant Henry whose height had increased by at least double his previous height while muscle poked out of his body like an inflated balloon.
"Tier one: Body expansion." Henry muttered with a ferocious expression on his face, his eyes were blood red as if in sheathing rage.
"Hmm," Williams frowned as he quickly dodged another of the attacks from Henry.
"So you really want to fight me, huh…." William spoke in a loud voice as he released his aura. Instantly, his body's strength increased to a terrifying degree as a pressure descended on everyone, however, it was nothing compared to Henry in just his normal form.
"Hmph, a mere trick." Henry snorted as he also released his aura, enveloping everyone.
The aura of his wasn't as strong as Williams, however, the boost it provided for his body was even stronger than Williams' aura.
Unimaginable Power coursed through every vein of Henry's body as he roared.
The entire building rumbled with the terrifying roar of his as dust came from the ceiling while the crowd started to retreat back.
Williams was caught off-guard by the roar as he struggled to maintain his balance, however, he wasn't given a chance as the hulking body of Henry went full force on Williams.
Seeing this, Williams' expression turned cold as he gritted his teeth since Angel was behind him and Amelia was at the side of him.
Instead of retreating, he advanced towards the man.
Just as his eyes were about to turn black, Asmodeus' cold voice rang in his ears.
"You can't use True Devil Eyes here, there is a tier three wizard in the upper floor and I am not going to hide your magic from a tier three wizard."
Hearing this, William gritted his teeth. "What should I do then?"
"Are you an idiot? Oh, I forgot you were one. Use the magic that the village leader gave you, didn't you imprint that spell in your mental spell also." Asmodeus replied with sheer mockery.
"Yes, master, mastering ice magic is the best option for you currently." the cold voice of Asmodeus was replaced by the teeming feminine voice.
Hearing this, William nodded with an expressionless face, however, he didn't move a single bit instead he closed his eyes as if resigning to his fate.
Seeing this, Henry sneered with mockery as his mind was consumed by rage; it was one of the side-effects of the spell, as he charged forward at Williams mindlessly.
However, just when he was in the point-blank range of Williams, Williams' blue eyes suddenly snapped open as a spell reflected on his eyes' surface.
An ice shard appeared right in front of Williams as it directly pierced into his chest.
"Shit."
The ice shard went half inside the chest of Henry and stopped from the sheer density of his muscle, luckily the shard didn't pierce his heart.
However, the ice shard didn't stop there as it shattered into countless shards inside his body, creating countless holes in his chest that destroyed his organs. Even worse was that the ice seemed to cause the area around the damaged part to decrease in temperature.
Cough!
Henry directly vomited blood from the sheer internal damage done to his body, however, even in the blood, there was a thin amount of ice mixed in.
Thud!
He directly fell to the floor with disbelief written on his face.
However, Williams didn't stop there as his expression turned colder. "You have no right to live as a scum-"
"That's enough." a cold voice resounded throughout the place as a terrifying pressure descended on everyone, causing everyone to almost freeze.
"Help me, Asmodeus." William muttered inside his mental space, however, Asmodeusu didn't reply. Instead, he sneered.
"It was your own doing that got you into this trouble, so you should solve the trouble yourself."
"Yes, master, I will help." The book vibrated in happiness as it flipped its pages.
"Is this book stupid…" Asmodeus gritted his teeth with anger seeing the book.
William in the real world suddenly moved, even with the terrifying pressure that descended on him.
The old man, completely unaware of this, walked towards Henry with a cold expression on his face.
"I will take my son now." the old man said as everyone froze in place.
"Where are you going, old man?" William said in an arrogant voice.
