Chapter 48: The Return

Ron returned to the Nightmare Tower again, it was a month later, his stored potions had bottomed out, in exchange for the death of the sixteen apprentices of the Soul Mystery House, the continuous killing made Ron haunt a strong smell of blood, wherever he went, whether it was an apprentice or a handyman, he would subconsciously take a step back, not daring to stand near him.

The sixteen apprentices brought Ron a reward of nearly five thousand magic crystals, as well as one hundred and sixty merit points.

Compared to Ron's consumption, this gain is obviously too small, but Ron has other gains, that is, eleven demonized items, although most of them are medium-level and low-level demonized items, and the accumulation of the number is enough to make up for the loss of Ron's magic crystals.

Ron sent someone to bring Aldrich a bracer, the only high-level demonized item among the trophies.

Although a high-level demonic item could not completely solve Aldrich's thirst for magic crystals, it could somewhat alleviate his predicament.

The remaining demonized items brought Ron nearly 10,000 magic crystals, making Ron's shriveled wallet a little fuller again.

After a day's rest, King Locke found Ron, and the oppressive atmosphere made King Locke less funny than he used to be, and even the feast of the bait didn't make him happy, King Locke just briefly explained that Elvis asked him to go to Laboratory Seven, and then quickly left.

The change in King Locke made Ron's heart sink, and there was a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.

Ron arrived at the lab, where Mentor Elvis was facing away from them, looking out at the cloudy sky through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

Seeing that Margaret and Roy were still there, Ron felt a lot more relaxed, but when Margaret told him that all the living people had arrived, Ron's heart sank again, and the ominous premonition finally became a reality.

He didn't see Klaus and Patrick, which meant they were never going to come.

The elf carried a heavy roster and delivered it to several people.

It was full of dense names, Ron knew that this was the list of apprentices in the Tower of Nightmares, and what was shocking today was that more than ninety percent of the names on it had turned into a gray color, with only a few dozen names, still shining, many of them were newly recruited first-order apprentices, and Ron found Klaus and Patrick's names in the dead gray.

Ron continued to look down, his gaze pausing under Archmage Anthony's name, for all the names of all the apprentices under his name had dimmed, and the apprentices of the other mentors had also suffered heavy casualties, but there were still a few apprentices remaining, only Anthony's apprentice was left.

There were still some gaps in the roster, and Ron knew that they were some apprentices who had withdrawn, and since Elvis had a way to erase their names, those big families must have the same rights, and not all of them would have the courage and reason to fight to the end.

When Ron closed the parchment, his heart had become heavy, and although he had expected such an outcome, he fell silent when the bloodiest and cruelest aspects of war were laid out in front of him.

This war is like a greedy beast, after devouring countless flesh and blood and lives on both sides, it still refuses to leave, but bars its last fangs at them, and this fang is called Bloody Deathmatch.

"This war is not over. ”

Elvis turned and walked towards the group, "The bloody deathmatch requested by the Soul House has been approved by the Council. ”

Bloody Deathmatch!

Several people breathed for a moment, and at the same time realized that this was the last madness of the Soul Trick House.

Bloody Deathmatch is far more dangerous than the previous wars, because it is no longer a war between apprentices, but between all the wizards of the House of Souls and the Tower of Nightmares, although they will not fight directly, but only through apprentices.

This means that in a bloody deathmatch, only half of the apprentice's own strength will determine the outcome of the battle, and the other half will be in the hands of the official wizards of both sides.

And the Soul Trick House has three second-order existences, which will inevitably occupy a great advantage in this bloody death match.

"All registered apprentices on both sides must participate, and if you want to quit, I can erase your names. ”

Elvis didn't say anything about the consequences of erasure, which was to be expelled from the Nightmare Tower, and Elvis could use his second-level wizard authority to protect him from being wanted by the Nightmare Tower after being expelled, but that's about it.

"How many people are there in the Soul House?" Ron asked.

"A little more than us, but not much. ”

Elvis glanced at Ron with a strange look in his eyes, "Even Cisse's Soul Eater Mother is dead, and the situation in the Soul Trick House shouldn't be better than ours." ”

"Mother Soul Eater dead?" Ron was stunned, and at the same time looked a little puzzled by Elvis's eyes.

Elvis didn't continue to discuss this issue, paused and continued, "The FΓΌhrer has prepared a rich reward for this bloody deathmatch, now tell me your decision. ”

Elvis stared flat, as if he didn't care about the deaths of Klaus and Patrick, but Ron knew that the old man, who had no heirs, had already treated them as his own children.

The death of each child must have left a deep wound in his heart, and although Ron could not empathize, he had already secretly made a decision in his heart.

"Klaus and dead, I will avenge them. Margaret whispered, and suddenly coughed, a strong smell of blood, wafting away, and Ron noticed that a dull water stain appeared on the chest of her black robe, and the water stain quickly expanded as she coughed.

Then Ron knew that Margaret was injured, and the water stains on Margaret's clothes were soaked in blood, and her wounds broke open in the sound of coughing.

"I still owe Patrick a life, I haven't had a chance to pay it back, I'll kill a few more bastards of the Soul House for him. ”

After Milon, Leitch, and Roy said they would not quit one after another, Ron let out a cloudy breath, "I've already killed sixteen, and I think I can kill another twenty-six." ”

Elvis's gaze swept over the faces of several people, and finally paused slightly on the two empty seats, and then said, "The bloody deathmatch will start in a month, and you only have one month to prepare. ”

Several people glanced at each other, and there was no trace of fear in each other's gaze, only a thick hatred and endless war intent.
