Armipotent

Tang Shaoyang was shocked to see Alton's condition. It was as if the old man had gotten older in a short time. Alton had his eyes closed as if he could not sense his arrival.

"How long have I been unconscious?" He could not help but ask the girls. The change was too big.

"A few hours? Around eight to ten hours, maybe." Selena was the one to answer him. "Do you want me to heal him? Zara did not let me heal him." She was quite concerned about Alton. The old knight received inhumane treatment from Zara. She did not say anything when Tang Shaoyang was still unconscious since the old man almost killed him. But now, she sympathized with the old man.

Tang Shaoyang glanced at Zara as he did not expect this would come from Zara. He was not surprised if this was Bronson's doing, but he was wrong about that. 'I guess that's why she evolved into the Angel of Death.'

Alton heard the noise from outside of his cell and opened his eyes. His vision was blurry, and he could not see clearly the people outside his cell. He squinted his eyes until his vision cleared. Alton's body shuddered at the sight of Angel of Death as his brown eyes shook for a moment.

However, Alton immediately shifted his gaze toward Tang Shaoyang. The old knight gazed at Tang Shaoyang for a while before he opened his mouth. "Is that true that you have summoned Queen Rosalie's spirit? Is that true that the one Allan killed is Crystal's spirit, not your illusion?" Alton's voice was hoarse, but he tried to get his voice to get the confirmation.

Tang Shaoyang glanced at Zara and communicated through the [Spirit Link]. He was asking if Rosalie met Alton during the time he fell unconscious. He got the confirmation, Rosalie indeed met Alton. She was still trying to convince Alton and Allan to follow him. If Alton asked him this, that meant Rosalie was successfully convincing the old knight.

"Is there a reason for me to lie to you? I mean, I have her and her." He pointed at Zara and Kalliyan with his thumb. "Do you think the Beast Coven has a chance against us if my goal is to destroy the Beast Coven?"

"I never agreed to let them meet you because I know you will not believe it, but they insisted on meeting you since they were afraid of me killing you and Allan." Tang Shaoyang told the truth. He did not care if the old knight was trying to kill him a few hours ago. If Alton joined him, that was a big win for him.

"That's true." The old knight muttered in a low voice before looking straight at Tang Shaoyang's eyes. "Can you revive Queen Rosalie? Do you have the skill to revive her? If you promise me to revive her, I am willing to follow you to be your loyal knight until the end of my life. No, I don't mind if you take me as a slave as long as you can revive Queen Rosalie."

"I do have the skill to revive her, but she is not on my priority list to be first to be revived. There's a long line for the resurrection." Tang Shaoyang nodded his head. "She's not the only spirit I have, after all. On top of that, I can't use that skill yet because I don't meet the condition yet. It will take time before I can revive her."

Alton stood up and approached the steel bars. He stopped right before the bars and knelt toward Tang Shaoyang. "If you promise me to revive Queen Rosalie, This Alton is willing to be your slave. I will-"

Tang Shaoyang waved his hand. "Let's cut the formality. You just need to make an oath never to betray me. That should be enough." He gestured to Selena to come over. It was not that he did not appreciate the gesture, but this was not the right place for that.

"You just have to repeat my words, Sir." Selena remained respectful to the Elder. It was that pitiful, so Selena could not treat him coldly. After Alton nodded his head, Selena started the oath ceremony.

The dark dungeon turned bright as soon as Selena started the ceremony. Her hands were glowing brightly as she recited the oath, and Alton followed after her. It did not take long for them to finish reciting the oath. After Alton, Tang Shaoyang followed his promise. "In the name of the Empire of Tang, I promise to revive Rosalie."

The lights in Selena's hand turned into two light balls. One light ball entered Tang Shaoyang's forehead, and the other one entered Alton's forehead. After the ceremony oath was over, Tang Shaoyang gestured his hand to Selena. "You can get him out and heal him now."

"Before that, can you listen to my one request, My Lord? Can you forgive Allan?" Alton was still kneeling as he voiced out his first request. "I know this might be presumptuous of me to make the request, but I say this because Allan might be useful for your ambition, not just because he is my friend."

"We haven't talked about anything, but you seem to know a lot about me?" Tang Shaoyang smiled at the old knight. Of course, he knew that it must be Rosalie who told the old knight about him. "It's not up to me, but depending on your friend. From my understanding of him, Allan is the one who does not want to follow me."

"It's because of the misunderstanding between us. Allan thought you were using our past to sway us, but we were wrong about that. We don't know that the dead can be summoned as a spirit, and we don't know there's a class that can do that as well. It's our ignorance that caused the misunderstanding. I wish you can forgive Allan just like you forgive me, and let us serve your, My Lord."
