My Magical System

Chapter 97: Grenn Family’s future

Detty couldn’t fully believe what Guwang Ho had said.

Not because she didn’t trust the parliament official’s words, but because, in the first place, it was impossible to believe that a Silver-Grade expert caught the attack from a Golden-Stage expert without receiving damage.

“Then, Mr. Ho, is that person the reason why you’re unconscious on the ground?” Detty continued asking.

“No, it wasn’t that person who attacked us.”

“.....”

Detty and the others didn’t know if to feel relief about it. After all, if that person could also knock them and left them barely alive, then it was beyond belief already.

“Mr. Ho, do you mean, the person with him was the one who knocked you out? Who is he? Is he a Golden-Stage of a higher level than yours?” She asked once again.

.....

“Her name is Immortal Witch, a Golden-Stage expert, yes. But not higher than us, perhaps we are of the same level.

“Did the two of them team up to defeat you?! Did you engage in an all-out fight? Did they captured my father?” Janrui who remained quiet this whole time after Detty arrived suddenly chimed in. Detty sighed at Janrui’s impatient attitude.

A frowned was visible on the old man’s face.

“Nothing like that had happened.”

“Eh?!” Everyone was surprised because the one who answered them was the person lying on the second bed. Beside the bed where Guwang Ho was lying. It was coming from Mo Hung.

They glanced at him and saw his unwilling face, “What do you mean by ‘nothing happened’, Mr. Hung?” Detty followed.

With a grim face Mo Hung replied, “No all-out fight had happened, because when that woman started to walk towards us, that’s also the time when our consciousness started to blur, the last thing we know, we were already gasping for breath while lying on the ground. Haha, I wonder if those two were humans. There’s no way someone like them was a human being. For me, they are true monsters!”

“WHA-?”

“.....”

They all fell silent once again. Seeing the grimace on Mo Hung’s face, they could tell the feeling of powerlessness in him.

‘True monsters?’

‘Really, what kind of people did they encounter, and who were these people that Elder Grenn has a dispute with?’ Detty was already in deep of her thought as she contemplated what’s the better move she would take first.

“Ah right, Mr. Ho. What happened to your other guards. My aids told me that they couldn’t find them in the area. Not even their corpses were there. I don’t think the enemy captured them while leaving you alive in that place.” She could already sense that the enemy did it on purpose.

She chose to ask Guwang Ho because Janrui had started questioning Mo Hung.

“We don’t know what happened to them. Before we noticed it, they had already gone. Probably the enemy was responsible for it.

Around this time, the door slammed open, and a handsome blonde young man with medium length hair was spit out of the door.

“Jura!” Janrui called out his name.

Seeing that Jura was here, Detty narrowed her eyes.

‘Tsk, that Jao, he’s so hungry for political power,’ she could guess what would be going to happen in this family later. The main family could not directly intervene in this matter as it was the Grenn family’s issue.

At this moment, Jao the father of Jura was already gathering some votes from the other leaders of the Grenn family. The disappearance of his father could also be a good thing for him. After all, one needs to replace him. Aside from him, there was also his sister and cousins. So he has no time to ask questions about his father’s whereabouts.

Though it was a sad event to lose his father at this time around, the family needed an acting elder immediately. And since he was the eldest son, he had the highest chance to be the next head of the Grenn family. However he needed to act eagerly, or else someone might steal the spot from him. Since this kind of family matter was needed to be voted on by all the Grenn family leaders.

He did not even send a glance to his aunt, and immediately bowed slightly to Detty. After all, Detty was the main family’s first daughter. He needed to show a favorable attitude towards her. To gain allies for his future in the Grenn family. Especially now that he achieved a good result in the subjugation mission. Although it was a risky gamble for him, it also the best shortcut to climb in power.

He knew that the main family could not help him with his desire if he was just a small member of the Gentlewind family. He needed power so that his words brought weight to the whole family.

“Lady Detty, may I ask what happened to grandfather?” Jura asked her.

Detty raised a brow, then explained to him the current situation about his grandfather.

In the Lord’s Domain, Yeman just woke up, last night he had to trick Night by giving her one of the Magic Cryst. He chose to give her the Black Magic Cryst which was dropped from one of the Snake-Eyed Phantom.

He wondered what happened. Did she succeed in absorbing it?

Up until now, he still could not use it.

“System, is there any news on how I can use the Magic Cryst?”

“Soul container?”

“I-I see, but what do you mean upgrading it? To what extent?”

“Soul Sea?”

“Then how many levels before I get there?”

“I-I see, but how to evolve it to such an extent?”

“Do you mean, it evolves on its own?”

“.....”

Yeman remembered the soul collection. Why did he even forgot it? As expected, he was bound to forget some things when he was too focus with another things.

‘In that case, I need to kill, huh. Being that it has a certain goal to achieve, I can tell when it will evolve.

In that regard, these things aren’t useful for me for the time being. I’m still had a long way to go to use it. Hopefully, it was useful to others. Or else I have only one option for it, to sell them in the auction.’

The System added which caught his attention.

“Eh, what do you mean by it, System?”

“Do you mean there was an item like that?”

Although the System told that there was an item like that, Yeman knew that it wasn’t easy to find it. But it was better than killing to collect souls.

“Anyway, what’re the other useful things you get by completing the scan of this world?” Yeman asked the things that curious him.

“Yes! Please!”

“Fufu, for all that I’d experienced already, do you think a little pain can scare me?” He said while brushing his nose using his hand.

[Downloading all languages...]

The System started downloading the necessary data for several minutes.

As expected,

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!

Yeman suddenly collapsed.

When he woke up, the scene like before greeted him, cushioning on top of her legs, while two pairs of beautiful eyes stared at him.

“My lord, why are you sleeping outside?” Asked Little Sky.

“My lord, are you okay?” With a worried face, Night asked.

“Ngh, I’m fine,” he replied while holding his head.

Unexpectedly, that ‘little hurt’ said by the System was too extreme.

Regardless,

It was good that Night was here, “how’s the Magic Cryst!”

“Mhm, it’s a success, My lord!” She beamed.

Seeing the joy in her face, Yeman smiled. “Can I see it?”

“Of course, My lord!”

In the middle of the forest, Night walked in front of Yeman and Little Sky.

Black energy was swirling from her feet, then crawled towards her body. Until the black energy completely swirled around her.

Yeman felt a strong surge of energy from her. It wasn’t ordinary. And behind her, a black figure with multiple hands appeared. Looks like...

“.....”

He was speechless. This surprised him very much.

“Yay! Congratulations Miss Night!” Exclaimed Little Sky beside him.

This wasn’t good. She became a lot stronger than him. He needed to become stronger too. The sooner the better.
