Chapter 72: He Never Ceased To Surprise Me

Myles, on the other hand, slowly regained his consciousness. He instantly perceived the demonic energy of the Law of Charm was being devoured by the Ancient Demon of Gluttony.

He asked the voice in his head, “Can you explain what’s happening?”

[The Ancient Demon of Gluttony detected demonic energy invading in your body and trying to take control of you. Hence, he did not hesitate to save you and fill its appetite along the way.]

“As if its appetite will be filled.”

Myles sighed. He slowly opened his eyes to see how the other Blood Knights were faring.

To his surprise, he began to realize he was the only one who remained standing. He also swept his gaze and discovered the Commanders were staring at him with widened eyes.

He could even hear the Eidolon Sentinel Commander pestering the Commander of the Blood Knights.

“Look! He even opened his eyes to look at us! How arrogant!”

The Shadowbind Knight said, “In the first place, HOW?!”

Myles quickly closed his eyes and frowned.

He asked the voice in his head, “Can you make him stop now? I think the arena will only stop if I have reached my limits.”

The voice in his head was silent for a while and finally replied, [Host, do you want to gain a fragment of the Law of Charm?]

Myles was surprised. He pondered for a while, but suddenly, his change of thoughts was interrupted when he heard a mumble from an unknown demon knight far from him.

“Isn’t he the knight with the least potential? What’s happening?”

Myles instantly realized he had gained unwanted attention.

He inwardly sighed. Without hesitation, he dropped himself to the floor and began convulsing.

To make it even more convincing, he controlled the blood inside his body to make a rampage, causing his body to instinctively convulse.

His deception was successful since how his body reacted was pretty close to the other Blood Knights.

After all, instead of their blood rampaging inside their body, it was the demonic energy from the Law of Charm.

At the same time, Myles said in the voice in his head.

“Don’t make it too obvious. Tell the Ancient Demon of Gluttony to slowly consume. Once I gain a fragment of the Law of Charm, stop immediately.”

[I have passed your message to the Ancient Demon of Gluttony. However, he also said it would take five hours to gain the fragment. He also proposed a deal with you. You must always continue to last an hour during this session everyday. He claimed he would be confident to reward you with a fragment of a Law of Charm, enabling you to reach your law affinity with the Law of Charm to a high level.]

Myles frowned. He disliked how the voice in his head talked a lot just to convince him.

He said, “How many minutes have already passed?”

[It only has been half an hour.]

Myles was speechless. If he lasted another half an hour, it would immediately raise suspicion—enough for him to be called by the head master and possibly have his secrets be revealed.

He said, “If it’s only half an hour every session, will it take two weeks? Also, the math isn’t mathing.”

Myles meant about the five hours mentioned by the Ancient Demon of Gluttony and yet he proposed that for a week, he would have to last seven hours in total.

It didn’t make sense to him.

The voice in his head replied, [Yes, it’s still possible. As for your complaint, it was simply because you have to last five hours straight. If he pauses every day, he would need seven hours in total.]

Myles shrugged. He said, “Then, make him stop.”

As soon as the Ancient Demon of Gluttony stopped devouring the demonic energy of the Law of Charm, Myles didn’t even last for a second as the demonic energy was on an entirely different level.

Hence, the arena quickly deactivated as the Commander of the Blood Knights instantly appeared above his students, observing their status.

He frowned when he realized he would have to call for the Guardian of Scarlet Bond to deal with the Law of Charm lingering on the soul of the Blood Knights.

He sighed and turned towards the other Commanders and apologized.

“I’m sorry, I have to call for the Guardian of Scarlet Bond at the moment. The arena might not be used until all of my students have now returned to normal.”

The Commanders nodded. The Eidolon Sentinels Commander replied, “Don’t worry. At the moment, we’ll lecture our students first about our future prospects of their courses.”

The Commander of the Blood Knight expressed his gratitude to them as he disappeared.

…

The Guardian of Scarlet Bond was currently teaching about politics, governance, and court etiquette to all of the first-year students of all of the demon nobles.

She would teach about the same topic with different years everyday. On her seventh day, she would teach about the Bloodline Mastery Studies.

Hence, she did not have a rest, only every night.

She was currently focusing on how to deal with emotional manipulation, when suddenly, in the middle of her teaching, a knock echoed on the door.

She frowned and instantly perceived it came from the Commander of the Blood Knight.

She excused herself and opened the door, walking a bit outside to prevent the other students from seeing her and the guest.

The Commander of the Blood Knight bowed and said, “I have an urgent emergency Guardian of the Scarlet Bond that requires your immediate assistance.”

The Guardian of Scarlet Bond frowned. She thought there was finally news from her Blood Knight, so she was a bit displeased.

She fanned herself and asked, “What could it be?”

The Blood Knight explained, “The Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows daughter’s Blood Knight lasted longer to the point he jeopardized the life of the other Blood Knight. The Law of Charm lingered even to their soul. If left untreated, they might be crippled.”

The Guardian of Scarlet Bond’s eyes widened.

She exploded into a hoot of laughter, catching the attention of the demon noble inside.

The Guardian of Scarlet Bond said in an amused tone, “He never ceased to surprise me, didn’t he?”
