Book 6 Chapter 8.4 - The Rising Sun is Also Dark
Just as he was making these speculations, Kebileâs cold voice suddenly sounded. âRoss, you know Iâve always hated being pried at!â
The officerâs entire body shuddered. He raised his hands above his shoulders, expressing he didnât have any hostile intentions, and only then did he slowly turn around, saying, âGreat suzerain, I didnât mean anything else by it, nor would I have any other kinds of thoughts. My ability talents stop at six levels, so even if your distinguished selfâs position is given to me, I wouldnât be able to sit there for more than a few days. The surrounding suzerains would immediately tear me to shreds. Just now, I was just worried for your distinguished self, worryingâŠ
oh,
no! Heavens, youâve already successfully absorbed an eighth level ability?! This is truly inconceivable, doesnât the ability need a week to fully form?â
Kebileâs hand stroked the bloody long whip, looking at his assistant Ross with narrowed eyes. He knew that this assistant was always cunning and crafty like a viper, but he was similarly clear on the fact that what he said was true. In Sun Empire, especially the border region, if one wanted to become a suzerain, they had to be strong enough, intelligence alone wasnât enough. In Sun Empireâs system, abilities were treated with the highest importance. It could be said that the higher the abilities, the higher the status. This was a world that favored abilities. The border regions were combat type ability usersâ world, while in the core region of Sun Empire, Perception, Mental, and Mysterious Fields Domain ability users also had majestic statuses and corresponding power and wealth. The knowledge passed down regarding abilities and biological science and technology were extremely developed in Sun Empire, to the extent where it clearly exceeded the Blood Parliamentâs level, and abilities were already quite widespread. Single level ability formulations already became common goods even free citizens could afford. However, from another standpoint, in the field of inherited science and technology, Sun Empire was astonishingly behind. Not only was there no new technology that surpassed the olden era, they couldnât even succeed the olden eraâs level of science and technology. This was an extremely warped state, yet it continued to this day.
That was why in the bordering region, with seven levels of ability, Kebile who was good at fighting and killing had status similar to a king. Meanwhile, the cunning and crafty assistant, because he only had six levels of ability, could only serve as an assistant.
Kebile took a breath, and then a vague layer of light suddenly appeared on the surface of his body, his obese body immediately full of terrifying power. The assistant couldnât help but take a few steps back, and only then did he stabilize himself. He carefully inspected Kebileâs stance, sensing a stabbing vicious aura. He couldnât help but cry out, âEighth level Offense Defense Mastery! This⊠is the true Offense Defense Mastery!â
Kebile released a snort, and then slowly withdrew his ability. He coldly said, âThereâs no need to be so shocked. Everything youâve seen is real. Right now, even if you were given an AK rifle, you still wouldnât be able to kill me. This is the gift Vibimoreâs new master, Lord Su, gave me.â
âLord Su? That is⊠the one from last night⊠he can grant an eighth level ability?â Rossâ voice began to tremble. This was a world where ability decided everything. An existence who could bestow an eighth level ability was truly no different from Sun God.
Kebile slowly said, âThe ability came from a formulation, but Lord Su can make it take form within a day, and I originally couldnât absorb that vial of drug. That is why this is practically no different from having the eighth level ability bestowed onto me.â
Ross took a deep breath. This wasnât much different from being granted an ability. In an attempt to feel things out, he asked, âWhat kind of background does this Lord Su have?â
âI donât know either! However, I believe he has something to do with Kabi and Robbio.â
âProphecy poem!â The assistant sucked in a breath of cold air.
Kebile laughed in a sinister manner. âYou already know too much!â
Rossâ expression immediately became ugly to the extreme, saying, âKebile, youâve also become sinister.â
âThat is because before, there was no need!â Kebile said with a cold laugh.
Ross thought for a bit, and only then did he say with a bitter laugh, âThen, if I donât vow loyalty and devotion, I probably canât continue living. Right now, what do I need to do to express my loyalty? A slow acting poison, or is it something else?â
Kebileâs smile became even more malevolent. âNone of that! Lord Su needs some capable subordinates, and in return, he might even grant you a seventh level ability. Of course, thatâll depend if you can hold on to your little life!â
âThatâs all?â Ross didnât dare believe this. The conditions didnât only sound good, but ridiculously good. The conditions unexpectedly didnât have any threatening methods, and large amounts of people would be willing to do their utmost for Su over this.
âThatâs all!â Kebile replied in a resolute and decisive manner. However, no one believed his answer.
Ross definitely wouldnât believe Kebileâs words. At the very least, if he obtained the ability but wasnât willing to serve under Su, then Su would definitely take action to kill him. Even Kebile had been subdued, so how could a sixth level assistant like him stir up any waves?
âIt doesnât seem like I have much of a choice.â Ross said with a bitter smile.
âIndeed.â Kebile agreed, and then with a nasty grin, added, âIf you donât agree, without waiting for Lord Su to even action, I will kill you right here!â
