Chapter 421 Such a humble desire

The Shapeshifter Lord, summoned by William from the reception room, was met with sympathetic glances from the others.

Being called out like that, he was most likely doomed!

William, having called out the Shapeshifter Lord, asked, "What's your name?"

"My lord, I am named Oxys Ironhoof." Oxys trembled and lowered his head, not daring to look at William.

"Oxys Ironhoof?" William couldn't help but praise, "Good name!"

Hearing William say this, Oxys was so frightened that he knelt down again.

Bang!

The floor beneath his knees cracked open once more, and the whole base shook violently as if struck by an earthquake.

"Please spare my life!" Oxys exclaimed.

"..." William didn't find himself to be that terrifying.

He had always considered himself quite benign. How did a compliment from him end up scaring Oxys to this extent?

"You needn't fear, I generally do not take lives," William said indifferently.

"..."

This time, it was Oxys' turn to fall silent.

Yes, of course!

You don't take lives!

Whatever you say is right!

Could it be that Lernaeus died by an accidental sudden death?

William, looking at the trembling Oxys, wasted no more words and instructed, "Go to a place and fight a fierce beast with all your might. If you win, I'll give you something valuable."

As he spoke, the image of the beast and its location already appeared in Oxys' mind.

Oxys slowly raised his head, his eyes wide with fear, and asked, "My lord, what if I lose?"

William laughed, "Then you will have to die."

Oxys was almost scared to tears.

What happened to generally not taking lives?

His speed was indeed so fast that even William's rapid hand movements were futile.

Unless William anticipated his attacks in advance for evasion.

While William and Jhin were conversing, Oxys, head bowed and fists clenched, walked cautiously towards William.

"My lord, I have finished the fight," Oxys said meekly, a far cry from the ferocious warrior who had just punched through an entire mountain range.

"Oh!" William stood up and said to Jhin, "Dr. Lopez, we will be leaving now."

Jhin?was completely in a state of shock.

He had thought that his creation could stand up against any Soulmancer, but Oxys' punch had thrown his beliefs into disarray.

"No, no, this isn't enough!" Jhin seemed to have entered a state of frenzy, shaking his head and muttering to himself before turning and walking back into the lab.

He hadn't fully grasped the extent of Oxys' strength.

In his view, the reality was that his creation could not defeat a Soulmancer.

He had spent his life wanting to defeat all Soulmancers with human power alone, striving to be the strongest.

He knew he was far from achieving his goal.

"Not strong enough!"

"Not yet!"

...

William didn't concern himself with Jhin's next moves and took Oxys to Steven's office.

Oxys actually doesn't expect any reward from William,just not being killed by William is enough for him.

Such a humble desire.

William pulled out a bunch of bottles and some magical herbs from his spatial storage ring.

The bottles contained pills refined by William through alchemy during his free time, certainly extraordinary.

And those magical herbs were mystical plants from hundreds of thousands of years ago, no longer found in the modern world.

"Choose one for yourself," William said, placing these items on the table and smiling at Oxys.

Oxys, looking at the items on the table, was almost in disbelief.

"Is this... is this the Flameheart Vine grown from dragon blood?"

"Winter's Breath Fern?"

Oxys recognized these two magical herbs, having heard about them in the Nether Void of the Underworld, but he couldn't identify the others.Continue reading on N0 VêLbIn
