Chapter 68: Training in the 'Myriad Primordial Forest'

In the Grayeye family,

"Everyone, if the news about this goes out, I am going to behead everyone in this room myself."

The family head of the Grayeye family seriously said to a dozen men in the hall before asking them to leave the hall.

During the same time, Heath, the kid who awakened a Duke-level talent in dark magic, was also kidnapped.

However, the Grayeye family kept things quiet when they saw the scroll belonged to the mysterious organization because they wanted the others to believe that Heath was taken away by Sir Tyler. So that, they could gain more respect and fear from others.

'I thought Heavens blessed my Grayeye family with Heath; however, he was taken by that Mysterious organization.'

The family head felt quite sad as he thought about Heath.

…..

At the entrance of the Myriad primordial forest.

"Everyone, take these weapons and if you see any weapons pavilion members, just kill them without talking anything."

Lucas chose a quiet place to enter the forest as he gave the rank 3 swords he got from killing the weapons pavilion's members in the dungeon.

And if by chance the weapons pavilion's members saw these weapons, they would definitely hunt Lucas and his slaves.

So, he gave them instructions to be careful.

"Yes, master."

All the slaves respectfully nodded their heads as they took the weapons.

After undergoing the special training for a week, the young squires don't look weak anymore; however, at the same time, they were not strong enough.

Nevertheless, with their low-level knight rank, they could fight a mid-level knight and hold their position for a while.

"I know your training has just started and I guess you have already seen the effects of the training. So, I am moving your training to the next level."

Lucas's speech didn't finish as he continued, "When you kill a spirit beast, use the moves you trained as it would increase the efficiency of your training."

"Even though I am speeding up your training that doesn't mean you will be killing any rank 2 spirit beasts. For now, you will work as a team and your target before the sunset is 100 rank 1 spirit beasts."

"Porter, as for you, your target is 100 rank 1 spirit beasts, 10 rank 2 spirit beasts and a rank 3 spirit beast. You can leave now. Let's meet here by sunset."

In a few seconds, Lucas gave the orders to ten young squires and the tier 1 lesser knight.

'Swoosh'

Once they received the orders, the young squires and Porter nodded their heads and hurriedly entered the forest because they were only less than six hours before the sunset.

'Porter, forget the mission I said; instead, go and protect them from the shadows.'

Just as Porter was about to leave, he heard Lucas' voice in his head that surprised him because only lesser knights or lesser mages could speak through the voice transmission.

However, what he didn't know was that Lucas used his spell 'Telepathy'.

Even though Lucas was a cold-blooded assassin in his past life, he didn't want to kill his own subordinates unless it was absolutely required.

Nevertheless, Porter looked at Lucas for a moment before nodding his head and disappearing into the forest.

"Young master, where are we going now and what is our target?"

Beck, who was silent until now, asked Lucas with a serious look on her face.

To Beck, who thought she was reunited with her family, Evan getting kidnapped was quite a blow to her.

Just like Lucas, she wanted to become stronger. So, she asked about their target to kill today.

"We will be going separate ways."

However Lucas's next words made her a little anxious as she listened to his words, "You will be killing 50 rank 2 spirit beasts."

"Why should we go separate?"

Even though becoming stronger was her goal, her main duty was to protect Lucas and it was what she promised her mother.

"Are you questioning my decision?"

Lucas looked at Beck with an emotionless face and asked her.

"N..no."

For a second, Beck felt like Lucas was completely different; however, she came back to our senses and shook her head.

"Good. If you want to help me, then do what I said. "

Lucas seriously ordered her which made Beck a little sad; however, she still nodded her head and thought, 'Young master...please be safe.'

"Beck...wait a second."

Just as Beck was entering the forest, Lucas stopped Beck and asked, "How many spirit beasts can you tame right now?"

"Currently, I am a rank 2 beast tamer and could tame five rank 2 spirit beasts. Since I already tamed two spirit beasts, I can still tame three more."

Even though the system warned Beck not to tell about her trump cards like how many spirit beasts she can tame to others, Beck didn't care much and explained everything to Lucas.

"I am sorry for my earlier behaviour," Lucas apologized to her for his attitude because Beck was different from the slaves he ordered earlier.

Nevertheless, he didn't allow Beck to reply because he was still new to apologizing to others as he continued saying,

"If you find any suitable or rare rank 2 spirit beasts, tame them. I think you will have no problem with that, right?"

"You don't need to apologize, young master."

Beck's earlier disappointment disappeared as she revealed a beautiful smile on her face as she continued, "As for taming, it will be not a problem with Ada and Spade."

"Thank you."

Lucas thanked her for understanding his current situation.

"Young master, please be careful and don't do anything risky. Even Grandpa Bernard was not here with us."

Before leaving, Beck said those words to Lucas.

Even though Beck didn't know why Old Bernard didn't come with them, she knew her young master had some plans for him too.

That's right!

Old Bernard was currently travelling to other towns to recruit some young men and as for the criteria, Lucas had already given some instructions regarding it.

Initially, the old Bernard was not willing to leave behind Lucas alone; however, Lucas convinced him in his own domineering way to make him go on that mission.

"Swoosh"

With everyone gone, Lucas also entered the 'Myriad primordial forest' and took a completely different path from others.

'Huf huf'

After running a few kilometers into the forest, Lucas started breathing heavily as though he was tired; however, in his heart, he was revealing a cruel smile.

'Swoosh'

'Swoosh'

Just as he stopped, a group of silhouettes jumped from the trees and rushed at him with sharp daggers in their hands.

"Kid, how can you get tired just after running a few kilometers?

"Moreover, why the hell did you run in the forest?"

"Aren't you worried about getting eaten alive by the spirit beasts?"

At the same time, a few of the masked figures mocked Lucas for his actions of running in the forest, getting breathless after a few kilometers of running without caring about attracting the spirit beasts.

"What if I say, I did what I did just to bring you out of the shadows?"

With an evil smile on his face, Lucas replied to the incoming assassin as he threw the hidden needles at them.
