69 Training the Enchanter pt 3

The next day Draig was once again summoned by Zarra however this time the people of the township were already there, it seemed the Heir of Feratu was the one everyone was waiting on.

"Good now that the last of us have arrived I can explain" started the Mage as he appeared as a competent person this time around.

"Today we will begin with an old and outdated Training program, this method was put out of practice shortly after me and my associates gained our classes. Due to the risk of this training no one is mandated to participate however those of you that do will become the forerunners of this new generation in this changed world." continued Zarra as he seemed to take on a grave tone.

"There will be death's among you, this is just a mere culling of the weak. If you are able then you should have nothing to fear but beware of how you pick your battles. Over the past week I have seen fit to invite some of my other associates here with their own awakened to participate, in this exchange the group that comes out on top will be winning valuable resources donated by the losers. In this sense I expect you to be victorious to help our Township thrive. Are there any questions" finished Zarra.

"Lord, what of the competitors" asked a random awakened

"If that is all then allow me to welcome our guests" called out Zarra ignoring the question as several large rifts appeared allowing for massive groups to appear.

The groups walking out didn't seem to be of the ordinary variety however, the difference being they all carried some kind of scar and an aura of bloodlust.

"In case some of you are unaware these are wanted criminals that Jared and Gregory have gone through the trouble of releasing for the sake of this training. They will be your opponents, on each of them you will find valuables and resources that they have gathered through their lifetime of crime and slaughter. They will become yours if you can defeat them, now I will explain how this will work" smirked Zarra as he saw the faces of those in the crowd tremble at the revelation they would be facing criminals.

"You will be locked in the forest and the surrounding area until either all of them are dead or all of you are dead. Anything is allowed during this time, in other words there are no rules" chuckled Zarra as a dark look of remembrance seemed to come over him.

Draig staring at his father couldn't help but find himself growing a bit excited at the challenge causing him to speak out.

"Father, you are too cruel giving these poor mortals false hope for freedom. Look at them, such frail and weak bodies to be broken" chuckled Draig as he stared towards the group who had now fixed their gazes on him.

"Hey kid, didn't your parents ever teach you to watch your mouth" asked a one armed man carrying a rapier at his side causing Draig to laugh.

"Why don't you ask him" stated Draig looking towards Zarra who chuckled but was gushing on the inside.

'He admitted it, he claimed me' thought Zarra excitedly seeing hope in the bond between them.

The criminals followed the Vampire's gaze and found it resting on Zarra causing many of them to widen their eyes in shock, who was Zarra? Perhaps one of the most vile battle maniacs to ever step into the light of day. It was now the Criminals turn's to be shocked, this was something none of them had expected.

"I'll be looking forward to meeting you on the battlefield then" chuckled the one armed swordsman as he stepped back in line with the rest of his group.

Draig cast an appraising glance over the group and found himself rather impressed as these were normal classes that had advanced down a darker path.

'So many treats to behold but to think I will only be aiming for them is a mistake' chuckled Draig as he kept his gaze locked on the one armed swordsmen and three others.

"Now that you have met each other we will begin the program" laughed Zarra as he cast his staff into the sky causing a large barrier to be brought forth and surround the area.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

"Happy hunting kiddies" laughed Gregory as he, Zarra, and Jared seemed to disappear.

"Let's go ahead and break in the fresh meat" laughed one of the Criminals seeming to lead the charge as many of the weaker ones ran out to battle the Awakened of the Township.

Draig watched as the awakened who had seemingly wished to stay uninvolved crushed small crystals that pulled them out of the barrier in a glow of light.

'Seems I missed part of the speech afterall' chuckled Draig mentally.

He noticed Sylvie and Winter clutching their crystals causing him to smirk as he bit his thumb and sent two blood needles that shatter their crystal and pulled them out as well.

"Now I can enjoy the festivities in peace" laughed Draig loudly gaining the attention of those around him as his Ivory sword came into view.
