Chapter 396: Sacrifice!



Chapter 396: Sacrifice!

“Principal, what did he do?” Grey asked, shocked.

“Hehe, he absorbed the town’s treasure,” Blake was the one who replied with a chuckle.

“The town’s treasure?” Grey asked, surprised.

“Yes, you see…” Oliver started to speak of the history of the town to Grey.

Hundreds of years ago, this town wasn’t called Moon Town, it had a different name, but suddenly, a strange situation started happening in the town. Usually, in all places, the elements of the residents are always mixed, with common elements like water, wind, fire, and earth being abundant amongst the Elementalists.

But in the case of Moon Town, the water element takes up a staggering eighty percent of the people here.

According to the people, they were blessed by the Moon God. Well, after experts in the Overlord Plane noticed the strange occurrence in this small town, some started investigating it and found out that there’s an ice vein under the town. But that was not all, there was a small rock that seemed to be radiating icy energy.

Naturally, the rock attracted the greed of some of the Water Elementalist experts, but surprisingly, not only were they unable to obtain it, but they died instead.

This reinforced the beliefs of the townspeople, saying it was a blessing from the Moon God.

A Sage Plane expert finally decided to step in, and after careful investigation, he found out that the rock was not from their world.

With such findings, one would think that the town would’ve grown bigger, but surprisingly, any Water Elementalist that was born from this town can not break through to the Overlord Plane.

With the new findings, interest in the town started to dwindle over the years, until it was almost forgotten by most of the experts.

The elemental essence in this town was poorer compared to the other sides of the continent, and people thought it had something to do with that rock.

Since they couldn’t destroy or move it away, they decided to warn the people of the rock so they would abandon the town, but who would’ve thought that they actually rejected it.

What was even stranger about this town though was that the people here usually live more than the normal age. For example, a Collection Plane Elementalist could live up to two hundred years, but if that said person was born in this town, they could live for an added hundred years or so.

Over the years, the rock had stored a large amount of ice energy, and Klaus was surprisingly able to absorb over fifty percent of it.

What was more shocking was that his stage only increased by two stages. According to his father, before they got here, Klaus was in the Fifth stage of the Origin Plane, but after absorbing the energy from the rock, his stage shot up to the Seventh stage of the Origin Plane. It was getting closer to the Eighth stage before he was seen by one of the townspeople.

Klaus could easily defeat most of the people, but seeing that it was their treasure, he couldn’t bring himself to do that. He might be shameless, but he still has his bottom line.

….

Hearing the story of the town, Grey was astounded by the mysteries of the world. A small rock that is able to easily kill experts in the Overlord Plane, and change the affinity of people is quite fascinating, to say the least.

If not for his cautiousness, Grey would’ve wanted to check it out, and see what it was. But after hearing it could kill people in the Overlord Plane, he decided to wait until he got to the Sage Plane, before coming back here to study the rock.

“I’ll go help him out,” Grey said, he hadn’t taken a seat all this while, so he walked out of the shop, heading to the other side.

He couldn’t sit by and watch Klaus get beaten!

Okay, that’s a lie. He only wanted to go closer so that he could gloat at Klaus’ misfortune.

‘Even after so long, he’s still causing trouble wherever he goes,’ He thought while laughing inside.

Grey didn’t even need to speak to Klaus before his mood lightened up a bit. He even brought out the communication device to inform Alice and Reynolds about Klaus’ unfortunate situation.

The trio laughed, with Alice and Reynolds wishing they were there to see Klaus.

Grey soon got to where the crowd was gathered. The place was quite wide, he felt it was most likely the town’s square.

“Look, I didn’t know it was the town’s sacred treasure. I’m sorry for mistakenly absorbing it,” Klaus tried explaining to the crowd before him.

“Chief, don’t believe him! When I got there, he was speaking of how he should’ve seen this place sooner.” A young man said while pointing at Klaus.

“That’s because I didn’t know about it being your town’s treasure you blockhead,” Klaus looked at the young man as if he was looking at a moron.

“Young man, the essence you absorbed from the moon rock will take years to recover.” An old man whose hair had turned completely white spoke up.

He was the one who the young man addressed as chief previously.

“What can I do to help you people out?” Klaus asked.

He had already absorbed it, it wasn’t like there was anything else he could do to stop it.

“It’s nice you’re such a considerate young man. Since you want to help recover it, then you don’t mind being sacrificed to the rock, right?” The old man asked with a cold look.

“Sacrifice? Me? The rock? You must be crazy!” Klaus immediately cursed out when he heard what the old man said.

He had been trying to reason with them civilly, but since they were saying such stupid demands, then there was no use. Although he couldn’t beat all of them present, he was sure he could escape. Although he wasn’t a hundred percent sure about his escape, he was one thousand percent sure his father would help him out!
