Ancient Tears BloodLine



Somewhere in the Outer Post, Jonathan is carrying out the secret mission instructed by his master.

Someone is interfering in the outer post. His task is to find out the information. It can be said that the people interfering are not from this region. 

It can be said that they are from the outside. It's either from the inner post or another outer post located beyond the barrier.

However, the power levels of the warriors residing in the outer post are similar. They can't compare to people in the Inner Post.

Jonathan thinks it is likely people causing trouble here are from the inner post.

When he got free time. He didn't forget to check the messages. Among the messages he received, Carlos Kent's recent message caught his attention.

"The Supreme Elder is working for someone outside," A cold glint flashes in his eyes. The secret is so huge. If the news is leaked, it can cause turmoil in the whole region.

Earlier, he had his suspicions about the Giant Tower Academy. The people operating behind the scenes are not as simple as he had guessed.

When he met Carlos, he thought the outsiders were from another academy or maybe some rogue warriors. 

But looking at this message. He feels something fishy. Who could move the Supreme Elder of the academy? Unlike the existence of his master. It's impossible. 

For quite some time, the supreme elder of the Saw Scale Viper Academy has been responding to the master properly. 

So he had advised Zack to stay alert. If the information is true then Zack is in danger. You will know when the person will attack.

A hint of apprehension appeared in his eyes. Jonathan decided to visit Viper City right away. Who knows the information that he is looking for might come from there. 

...

From MC's Perspective:

The duel started. Vina Potkins released her winning attack against Eurice Frye. They started confronting each other by using simple attacks.

Boom~

One after another explosion occurs on the dueling stage. Both of them are fighting fiercely. 

Vina's wind attack pierces through the air. The attack reaches the target faster than Eurice's water element.

"This?" A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. One has to stay focused. To see the number of attacks.

Vina is releasing continuous attacks more than the opponent.

"Eurice is now being pushed to the corner," Ernest said.

I raised my eyebrows. I know her mutated water element is troublesome. Her technique can turn her water essence into a boiling hot one.

If Vina is not careful, that attack might hit her hard.

On the other hand, the spectators are causing the noise. Everyone became excited. Both the warriors are ranked top among their respective factions.

This duel is an important one for the factions. 

A few minutes later,

After a few initial skirmishes, Vina brought her weapon outside. 

"Wind Scythe," I uttered in surprise. 

"Yeah, it's a customized one. I heard that she made a design herself," Ernest added.

A faint smile appeared on my face. There must be benefits to doing that customization. Then I saw releasing her attack.

Then I saw the wind arc releasing from the scythe. Getting hit from that would tear up a person's body. 

How is she going to block that? I looked towards Ernest. Then I saw her releasing a similar arc attack in response.

This time she is not going to end up using tricks. Last time, Carlos must have provided her with the poison.

Let's see whether she had the skill or not.

Meanwhile,

Elder Alice furrowed her eyebrows. She can see that Eurice is having a hard time. This means Vina Potkins is not simple either. 

She suddenly looks in the direction of the Gale Faction Head who seems to be smiling ear to ear. 

Then she retracted her gaze and looked at the dueling stage. She thinks defeat can change her mind to practice hard.

After getting defeated by Zack Lockwood. Eurice completely locked herself up in her room. Alice is hoping that things will be different this time.

She made up her mind to give some pointers. So that Eurice can improve further in her techniques.

On the other hand, the Flame Faction Head Franklin sneered. For him, the duel is going as predicted. Nothing was surprising. 

Kane Patrick is observing the reaction of the faction head. 

Suddenly he asked, "Why don't I ask Zack Lockwood for a duel?"

"Are you sure?" Franklin was surprised by Kane's courage. So far Zack Lockwood kept an undefeated record. 

For others, it's a scary record. It's normal for even top-ranked warriors to think twice. So Kane's words impressed him.

"I'm confident," Kane responded. But a hint of jealousy rose in his heart. He wondered why the head was doubting himself.

Franklin took a moment to remember. 

"Our Flame Faction already lost to him once. So do the others. But if we lose face a second time, we would be ridiculed."

"Don't forget it would not only affect our prestige here. But in other institutions as well."

Hearing that Kane shuddered. For a second he forgot the character of the Flame Faction Head. 

For a long time, he has been eyeing for the dean post. He has maintained the prestige of the Flame Faction all these years. 

So that it can provide him with good momentum. The only thing that stopped him was strength. He is weaker than the dean. 

If he raises his strength then he may have a chance of becoming dean of the academy.

Franklin saw Kane thinking deeply. So he shifted his gaze back to the duel. It's not that he is underestimating Kane's strength. But he still thinks Kane is not serious about this matter.

He just came back. Franklin thinks Kane needs a few days to know about the recent events. Maybe then he would have a better understanding. 

...

Azure City,

The Blevins Family Head Robert was staying in his study room. He had exposed a great secret to Carlos Kent. Hoping that he would help him eradicate the Morrow Family.

But Carlos is avoiding him instead. Robert couldn't help but start to regret it. He also feels a little scared. The Giant Tower Headmaster would be pissed off if he knows.

Beep~

A sudden call broke his attention. But when he saw the contact name, He broke out in a cold sweat.

"What timing?" Robert cursed. After calming down his heart. He attended the call.

"Robert, what's going on?"

"Why is there nothing happening in Azure City?"

"There should have been some turmoil at this point."

The Giant Tower Headmaster's voice reached his ears.

Robert's expression turned ugly. He knows that person is following the developments. It's difficult to escape his eyes.

"Cough"

"Sir, Elder Carlos is taking his time. He will act soon," Robert replied.

"What?"

"He has not acted yet. What is he doing there?" The Giant Tower Headmaster sounded infuriated.

Lately, Carlos has been testing his patience after consuming his resources.

"Uh, Sir"

"I heard there is a duel scheduled for his student. The dean might be asking for him," Robert thought of a reason. 

He is keeping tabs on the Academy information. So the news left his sight.

There was silence for a moment.

"Harumph"

"Looks like that kid is enjoying his life."

"No wonder, Carlos is not acting. That b! tch might be staring at him."

"Alright, ask him to do it after the duels," The Giant Tower Headmaster ended the call after saying that. 

It's not Robert. The Giant Tower Academy also keeps an eye on Zack's information. So it's easy for them to confirm the news.

Phew~

Robert heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't know what was going on with Carlos Kent. So he thought his student duel might be bothering him.

The more he thinks the more he feels right.

Since the Giant Tower Headmaster said it himself. He can't wait for a few days.

Meanwhile,

Carlos is resting in the guest room. He spends most of the time staring at his watch. He hopes to receive a response from Jonathan.

Otherwise, he doesn't know what to do. He is completely stuck now. If his actions were exposed, then the Supreme Elder would silence him. 

He broke out in cold sweat imagining that.

Beep~

His watch notified him of a message. Hearing that he immediately saw the contact name.

Seeing the name "Jonathan" he finally sat on the chair. 

Then he began to read the message. After reading it, his eyebrows ease down.

Jonathan asked him to return to Viper City. That person will be there soon. 

Carlos finally caught his life's straw. He stood up from the chair and decided to leave right away.

He doesn't want to spend time here.

Creak~

When he opened the door to leave. Robert appeared before him.

"Are you leaving?" Robert asked.

"I'm going back. It's urgent," Carlos replied without turning back. 

He left the mansion and took the flight ability to appear in the sky. From the beginning to end. Robert didn't try to stop him.

Carlos felt strange for a second before starting to rush back to the Academy.
