Pausing, the gray-haired elder continued with a look of exasperation, "On the other hand, the Crawfords only moved here twenty years ago—why do you think they rose steadily to become the top clan of Zoronda? It's all no thanks to their nine mysterious elders! If you're not sure you can handle them, then you shouldn't move against them at all!"Ches' face contorted with a look of utter savagery. "I can beat Caleb, Master! He's just Ether rank five, while I'm already Ether Lord rank three! And I'm not some loser instructor at the academy…""Heh," the gray-haired elder snickered. "So you're confident you could have taken them down in three moves?"Ches was quickly silent.He had the ability to punch above his weight, but it was nothing to brag about compared to Caleb.Unless… "Unless you activate the Overlord Bloodline?" The gray-haired elder narrowed his eyes as he seemed to read Ches' mind. "If you do, you proved that you attempted to murder Caleb. And not even your father can

Fiend!The entire hall was left in an uproar as soon as the term was mentioned, as fiends were individuals who lost their minds and only sought to kill!And aside from their savagery, their combat ability also improved exponentially, and Caleb's recent form really suited that description!The chief of the Limbet clan barked furiously then, "That's right! Caleb definitely became a fiend—there is no other explanation for his savagery and his murder of my clan's junior chief! So hand him over, and we will all suppress him! This is nothing personal—this concerns the safety of all life in the east!"Xar's eyes narrowed at all the clan chiefs and elders, snorting, "Caleb slayed Ryona Larkin and the other mentors in a death duel that was carried out fairly. As for your respective clans' junior chiefs, they all clearly intended to kill him!"All Caleb did was defend himself—how does 'fiend' even come into the equation? His unparalleled might is only testament to him being a Crawford, and

Beston promptly leaped backward to dodge, yelling at the same time, "Attack! We have the numbers—we don't have to fear them!"In his words, the respective clan chiefs and elders of the Larkins, the Limbets, the Warks, and the Urbans leaped forward too!They were never here to negotiate anything in the first place, not after Caleb massacred their junior chiefs.However, the Sects were keen to find out what gift Caleb took with him out of Gehenna, and therefore held back!Never could they have expected that the Crawfords would attack first instead—it was simply suicidal!That was when Jax leaped in front of the clan chiefs, cutting them off and scoffing, "Hah! Know this, geezers—it's your good fortune that your kids died by Caleb's hand!"There was a long saber in his hand before they knew it, inscribed with a blood-red wave pattern on its edge."How dare you!" Shunk!Even as the four chiefs charged, a blood gash appeared on their foreheads, just before they were all cut in hal

Hearing that, Caleb bowed his head respectfully. "I'm not afraid, Elder Alea!""Good." Alea nodded. "Soon, it's going to be your duel against Ches. Don't be reckless!"Caleb smiled. "Yes, I will remember!"Alea then turned toward a burly middle-aged man. "Sil, weren't you going to forge Caleb some weapons and armor?""Haha! That's right!" The middle-aged man laughed cheerfully.His name was Sil, and he was the fourth elder of the Crawfords. He was also a craftsman and wore an apron just like a blacksmith!"Thank you, Elder Sil!" Caleb exclaimed in delight—he was just wondering if he should fight unarmed, as the Overlord was just an ordinary Ether-grade weapon.Alea then continued, "Alright, you don't have to spar with Jax today—go with Sil to the forge and familiarize yourself with your new weapon.""Thank you, Elder Alea, Elder Sil." Caleb nodded, grinning in delight.He had to agree, as Jax might pummel him again, and he might not heal in time, even with another potion bat

Better yet, what did Caleb have that could help him win?His clan's strength? Against the noble house of Lazuli?With that thought, Ches' lips curled up triumphantly.Still, the geezer with him warned, "You must remain prudent, my lord.""I know!" Ches retorted as he quietly closed his eyes again.He already couldn't wait to slay Caleb and move on to his loser brother!And with that, he would succeed his father!-Soon, a week had passed.Way before the duel between Caleb and Ches began, the academy was congested with an excited crowd.It was only natural that the duel would get so much attention. Not only was it a duel to the death, but it was also a duel between a princeling and an individual from a very scary clan with nine enigmatic elders.Before long, a fighting ring had been set up in the colosseum!Then, as everyone watched enthusiastically, Ches Lazuli gently jumped into the ring, his embroidered robes at once elegant.Everyone cheered at his arrival, as Ches had
