Chapter 46 - Servant
Chapter 46: Servant
“You still want to run? Stay here!” Seeing that the other party was about to run, Romo waved his hand and a gust of cold air instantly pounced on him. The gray-robed old man felt a powerful threat behind him. When he turned around, he saw a gust of cold air pouncing on him like a demonic shadow. It was so fast that he was not able to escape at all. He immediately released several waves of Fire Flames Magical Power. However, what shocked him was that the magical power he had released was directly frozen by the cold air. The gray-robed old man was horrified. Even his Fire Flames Magical Power was frozen! This was definitely a technique only a Great Archmage at his peak could have.
He wanted to run again, but it was already too late. The cold air pounced on him and curled around his body. Instantly, his entire body seemed to be frozen. His breath was not smooth, his blood vessels were not working, and he was even unable to activate the magical power in his body. He became an ice popsicle.
Then, an almost transparent figure appeared in front of him. Its entire body emitted a white, cold aura, making it impossible to see the face clearly. The gray-robed old man looked at the figure in front of him and was horrified. Who was this person? He had not offended such a powerful enemy before. Why was the other party attacking him? And it seemed like he was specially here to find him?
Romo took out the Magic Conch and injected some magical power to test it. Sure enough, the other side of the Magic Conch was on the body of the gray-robed old man in front of him. He had not found the wrong person.
Romo turned around and looked at the few people in the magical barrier below. He immediately understood what was going on here. It was nothing more than murder and robbery. In this desolate and uninhabited Calamity Mountain Range, this was a common occurrence. Romo had also done such things when he was alive. However, his current target was the gray-robed old man in front of him. He did not want to complicate matters, so he said coldly, “Those irrelevant people, leave quickly.”
When the few people in the magical barrier heard this, they all looked blank. They did not know what had happened at all. Why had another person suddenly appeared, and this person’s strength seemed to be much stronger than that of the gray-robed old man?
The white-robed old man was the most puzzled. However, he was also very glad because he had already had the thought of perishing together with the gray-robed old man earlier. Now, because of this sudden incident, he had been saved.
Just as he was about to remove the magical barrier and quickly leave, he heard the blond youth behind him say, “Teacher, could they be lying and deliberately making us remove the magical barrier?”
The old man in the white robe berated, “Don’t talk nonsense. That senior’s strength is definitely at the peak of the Great Archmage realm. If he wants to harm us, he can break my magical barrier with one slap, and even kill us all. Even if my magical barrier’s defense is increased by tenfold, it will still be useless. Do you understand?”
“Understood, Teacher. I’m sorry.” The blonde young man looked at the transparent white figure in the sky in fear. His eyes were filled with fear and envy. When would he be able to have such powerful strength?!
“Senior, I am Gandolf, the teacher of the Pure White Magic Academy. Thank you for saving my life!” Gandolf bowed respectfully to Romo.
Romo ignored him and waved his hand. Upon seeing this, Gandolf immediately retracted his magical barrier and urged his magical power to sweep up the other students and fly away quickly.
The gray-robed old man could not care less about these people now. He was in a difficult position to protect himself. He was thinking quickly about how he had offended this powerful enemy in front of him and how he could survive under his hands.
Seeing that everyone had left, Romo looked coldly at the gray-robed old man and said coldly, “Who is Saruman to you?”
Hearing this, the gray-robed elder instantly understood. It seemed that it was not that he had not offended this powerful enemy, but rather that Saruman had offended him, and that the other party had seized upon some clues and pursued him here.
Damn you, Saruman, why have you offended such a powerful enemy? It’s one thing for you to die, but you have even implicated me.
The gray-robed old man cursed viciously in his heart.
At this moment, the gray-robed old man could sense that the cold air around him had receded a little, enabling him to at least speak. He immediately said respectfully, “Senior, Saruman is my disappointing younger brother, but apart from our relationship as family, I manage my own affairs and have nothing else to do with him. Even if that fella has done something, it has nothing to do with me, Senior!” The gray-robed old man was deeply afraid that the other party would vent his anger on him, so he quickly tried his best to cut ties with Saruman.
Romo ignored his words and said coldly, “Tell me your identity and background.”
The gray-robed old man did not dare to hide anything. He knew that if he were to hide anything, he would be immediately frozen and killed by the other party. There was no chance for him to live. He immediately said, “My name is Karuman, and I am from the Southern Empire. I do not have a master sect. When my younger brother Saruman and I were young, we stumbled upon a ruin and obtained an inheritance. Then, we fumbled around and cultivated till we reached our current realm…”
The gray-robed old man told him everything very truthfully. In the end, he pleaded, “Senior, I’ve told you everything. My relationship with my younger brother is not good either. What he has done really has nothing to do with me. Senior, please spare my life. I’ll do anything.”
Romo could not be bothered to listen to his nonsense. He interrupted him coldly and said, “Be a servant or die!”
When the gray-robed old man heard this, he was stunned. When he said he could do anything, he meant that he could make compensation. He still had many Magic Stones, other magical items, and Magic Pills on him. He even had the Ice Fire Grass which he had just snatched from the hands of those from the Pure White Magic Academy. He could compensate the other party with all these, but he did not want to be his servant!
He was a dignified level-4 Great Archmage! How could he be someone else’s servant? However, he opened his mouth to refuse, but dared not say it out loud because the other party had clearly said that if he did not become a servant, he would die! He did not want to die. For a moment, his heart was filled with unwillingness and humiliation.
“Hmm? Since you’re unwilling to be my servant, then go and die!” Romo did not even bother to give the other party time to think. Seeing his hesitation, he snorted coldly and was about to freeze him to death.
Kaluman immediately felt the cold air spreading throughout his body. He had no doubt that in half a second, he would die.
“I agree, I agree!” In the face of death, all unwillingness and humiliation were thrown to the back of his mind. Compared to life, everything else was useless. Only life was real. If he did not even have his life, then there was no need for anything else to exist..
