Chapter 60: Retreat from The Third Elder

"This..." the old man's pupils dilated, seeing William, who was completely unharmed, even from the pressure he emitted.

"Hahaha, I didn't think that a hairless brat like you had the guts to stand against me."

The old man laughed off with an amused expression on his face.

However, the pressure on William didn't stop. Instead, it increased, pressing down on William as if he was a mere bug.

But to the old man's shock, William remained standing no matter how he increased the pressure, like a tall tower.

"How is this possible?" The old man thought as he narrowed his eyes, carefully accessing William.

"Third elder, what were you saying previously?" William said with a sneer.

However, the third elder just remained emotionless, even after William's taunting.

"This brat still needs to work on his skills more if he wants to taunt me like this..." the third elder thought as he took back his pressure.

He went up to his grandson, touched his head, and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, sheer rage glinted, like a volcano just about to erupt.

The third elder looked at William with deep sheathed rage in his cold expression, however, he didn't move.

After a long time of staring at William, he looked up at the ceiling with narrowed eyes, took Henry, and went away silently.

"Where are you goi-" A warm voice suddenly rang in his ears, which stopped him from speaking.

"William, don't poke a hornet's nest, this is enough for today." Noah's voice directly rang in his ears as if he was right beside him, whispering in his ears.

"I understand, master." William gritted his teeth as he looked at Henry and shook his head.

He looked around, where a crowd of people had gathered, and his expression turned cold.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen enough?" William roared, and instantly everyone went back to their places in a hurried motion.

"Hmph." He gritted his teeth in anger.

"It's okay, William, I am fine now." Amelia said, however, her expression was still cold.

"Why didn't you stop me now, book?" he voiced as he looked at the book.

"Because the master will feel a lot better if he heard your words, but what do you mean by stopping you?" the book replied in a confused tone.

"I can feel something special about that boy, Aur. Although from my senses and all my probing he appears to be a normal man, I feel like the terrifying pressure he exerts makes him not his age, as if he had seen the true meaning of life..."

"What do you mean? Maybe it is because of the variance magic book I have given him."

"What's that?" Asmodeus asked.

"It's nothing worth the knowledge for a primordial demon like you. They are just derived from a complete set of magic and made better, however, they are incomplete, although their power is much greater than an ordinary set of magic and are quite weird. Maybe that guy imprinted a spell in his mental space that made him that weird. You could feel it, right? He already has mana in his mental space."

"Yes." A mysterious smile formed on Asmodeus' face.

"Either way, this brat isn't truly apologetic at all as he should be, but the hypocrisy in his words..."

"Hey, master is still a child and hasn't grown strong enough yet. He still needs more experience in life."

"Sure, sure, whatever you say, book."

"Hey, bastard, stop calling me a book! I have a name, you know."

"What is your name?"

Silence!

The book went entirely silent as if it had shut down from its activities. Seeing this, Asmodeus chuckled, "I almost got you."

...

"Lily, that's why I say that you should let me be in charge. You almost revealed our real name to that primordial demon."

"What do you mean, sister? I have been talking to this guy for a long time, however, he doesn't seem to be a bad guy at all. Didn't you say that these primordials are supposed to be bad..."

Inside the book, there was a huge white dimension.

In the dimension, there was a faint figure of two women, one small and another tall and mature in soul form.

They both looked like how a woman should look, however, there was a brown tail sticking out of their buttocks which was swaying in the white dimension, and where there were supposed to be normal human ears, they had furry brown ears that stood tall.
