Chapter 182: Chronicle of a Loser's Counterattack

Chapter 182 The Scum's Counterattack

Hearing the conversation between the two, the Shadow Servant quickly hid himself.

The wooden board at the cave entrance was opened.

Two people crawled out from the underground hole.

One wore ordinary clothes, his expression reserved, looking just like an ordinary citizen of Maple Leaf City.

The other, though dressed plainly, had an air of arrogance barely contained on his face.

Li Wei glanced once and knew this person was definitely a member of the nobility.

This kind of look could be seen on many noble faces.

"Why would someone from the nobility appear in a place like this?"

Li Wei wondered in his heart.

So far, there was still no evidence found indicating the two were Black Cultists.

The man hiding in the distance saw Li Wei standing motionless at the door and felt some anxiety in his heart.

He looked left and right, feeling somewhat hesitant in his mind.

Thinking of the money soon within his grasp, he disregarded the hesitation and hurriedly walked to Li Wei's side.

"Mage Sir, why do you not go inside?"

"There is someone outside!"

The noble inside the room instantly became alert.

"Quick, go out and take a look."

Creak.

The gate opened, the commoner poked his head out to look twice, seeing no figure.

"My Lord, there is no one outside."

"Prepare to transfer, this place has already been exposed," the noble said without hesitation.

"This... how can we transfer?"

"You don't need to worry about so much, you are responsible for bringing back today's items, the rest I will handle."

"Alright, let's go, do not come back again, meet at the old place."

The noble dismissed his subordinate and returned to the room.

Pacing around the cave entrance several times before finally making up his mind.

At this moment, the Shadow Servant had already taken advantage of the two leaving and drilled into the underground hole.

Li Wei saw the scene inside the underground hole through the Shadow Servant.

"Oh ho! Caught a big fish!"

The ground below was hollowed out, countless livestock corpses lying inside, blood drained dry, bodies desiccated.

The floor, walls, and ceiling were all covered in strange symbols painted with blood.

Obviously, this absolutely was not an ordinary Evil God cultist.

Otherwise, they couldn't have pulled off such a large ritual.

The noble returned inside the underground hole.

He took something out from his clothes and crushed it.

On the surface, a man walking on the road preparing to buy livestock suddenly felt a pain in his chest.

Darkness before his eyes, he fell heavily onto the ground.

"Ah!"

People around screamed.

"What happened to you? Wake up quickly."

Li Wei had been following the man; seeing him fall, he hurriedly approached to check.

"The Mage Sir is here, everyone make way!"

The man following behind him shouted loudly immediately.

Upon hearing this, the crowd also stepped aside to clear a path.

The man's face showed a look of pride.

This feeling of borrowing the tiger's skin really felt good.

Li Wei checked the corpse, confirming this person was already dead.

That noble used supernatural power to kill the man, the purpose being to silence him.

But he would not know that right beside him was an eye watching him.

The noble looked at the ritual array before him.

"Pity! Just a little bit more and it would have succeeded."

The noble man took out a small knife and sliced open his palm.

Blood dripped into the important blood spring of the ritual array.

Drip drop!

The ritual array slowly lit up with red light.

The entire underground hole was illuminated by the red light.

A mass of black shadow stood within it, appearing particularly glaring.

The noble man stared at the Shadow Servant with a bad complexion, not expecting there to be something else here.

He took a deep breath and punched hard against his own chest.

Thud!

His heart shook violently.

The surrounding red light was like bees finding their home, all surging into his body.

The noble man pulled up the sword used for slaughtering livestock from the ground.

Eyes blazing with scarlet light. He swung a sword strike towards the Shadow Servant.

"Die!"

Boom!

The gate was blasted open by Li Wei with a single Small Fireball Spell.

The Shadow Servant walked out of the room dragging the injured noble man.

Li Wei looked at him, somewhat speechless.

Seeing the grand scale of the evil ritual, he had thought this man was some important figure.

It turned out he was merely an ordinary noble seeking extraordinary power.

However, the hat of a heretic cultist was one he could never take off again.

"Where did you get the blood sacrifice ritual?" Levi asked.

The nobleman hung his head in despair; he never expected that after gaining power, he couldn't even defeat a mage's servant.

In a single clash, his sword was broken by the Shadow Servant, and he himself suffered grave injuries.

If not for that strange power within his body sustaining him...

With injuries like these, a normal person would already be dead.

The Shadow Servant hadn't known the opponent was so weak.

He directly unleashed a move called Shadow Claw.

It severed the iron sword and nearly cut the man into four pieces.

Fortunately, he stopped in time; otherwise, Levi would only see a corpse.

The noble said nothing, so Levi ordered the Shadow Servant to take him to a room.

The Shadow Servant stood guard at the door.

Levi lit a stick of incense and placed it beside the nobleman.

Soon enough, the nobleman fell into a deep sleep.

"Great Dream Wandering Heaven Technique."

Entering the nobleman's dream bubble, Levi consciously guided the evolution of the dream.

Helping him recall the scenes from back then.

With slight guidance, the man's subconscious began to remember the causes and consequences of obtaining the blood sacrifice ritual.

Once, he was a minor noble member who was disliked by everyone.

Unable to become an extraordinary practitioner, he was bullied by other family members.

Commonly known as trash.

Later, he met someone.

The other party claimed they could help him gain extraordinary power.

The ability to kill subordinates was the first extraordinary power he obtained—Heart Plucking.

Plucking out another's heart while allowing them to function normally without it.

And while holding another's heart, he possessed the ability to kill them at any moment.

He used this method to force many people to work for him.

Gradually, the nobles around him dared not look down on him anymore.

The man also wanted to obtain even greater power.

Thus, he found the person who gave him extraordinary power.

The other party handed him a blood sacrifice ritual.

As long as the blood sacrifice was completed, greater power could be obtained.

The man had once hesitated; he knew the blood sacrifice ritual was an evil rite.

Once used, he would be regarded as a heretic cultist.

But driven by thirst for power, and the desire to change his own fate.

Knowing full well it was wrong, he still chose this path.

Within Maple Leaf City's two or three hundred thousand people, true extraordinary practitioners numbered only two or three thousand.

One in a hundred.

Although not comparable to the one in ten thousand probability for mages.

But it can be seen that becoming an extraordinary practitioner is not easy.

Noble descendants unable to become extraordinary practitioners are everywhere.

Lena's uncle, Monis, also became the vice president of the Spark Literature Society because he could not become an extraordinary practitioner.

Otherwise, as a member of the Golden Shield family, who would want to be a vice president of some literature society.

The literature society wasn't particularly profitable anyway.

Before Levi arrived, the literature society earned less than twenty gold coins a year.

For ordinary people, this was already a lot.

For nobles, let alone members of one of the top noble families in Maple Leaf City.

This money meant absolutely nothing.

Some choose to accept their fate as ordinary people.

Others refuse to accept fate and ultimately walk onto a crooked path.

Levi exited the dream.

He saw who the person was that gave the man the blood sacrifice ritual.

Upon seeing the other party's true face, Levi was also greatly surprised in his heart.

He knew that person.
