nEvil beings looked just like regular humans with two horns and long hands. Other than that, their bodies emit a dense black aura which was considered as an evil aura by the human race.

n

"You….how…

"

nWilfred was shocked to see the sudden change in the appearance of Geoffrey into an evil being.

nEven though Wilfred and Geoffrey didn't have much interaction with each other from the past, he grew along with Geoffrey and used to seeing him every now and then.

n

"You killed Geoffrey?

"

nWilfred could only think of this possibility because he was very sure that Geoffrey was a human just like me.

n

"Haha…as expected of the righteous member of the weapons pavilion.

"

nThe evil being laughed as he turned back into his human disguise and looked at the other evil being,

"Kill everyone in a single move and leave this righteous one to me?

"

nAfter giving orders to the evil being, Geoffrey walked towards Wilfred and continued speaking,

"If you are not so righteous and be like other members of the weapons pavilion, you would have enjoyed great benefits.

"

n

"What are you talking about?

"

nWilfred knew he could no longer escape from the current situation because the other party was so confident in killing him and even exposed his true form.

nNevertheless, he didn't understand what he was talking about.

n

"Oh…my poor Will. You are really in the dark despite growing old.

"

nGeoffrey shook his head and informed,

"Other than you, all the members of the weapon pavilion swore loyalty to my Nether glaze evil clan.

"

n

"What? Impossible.

"

nWilfred was shocked and didn't agree with the evil Geoffrey.

n

"Haha…I know you won't believe me.

"

nGeoffrey was calm as though he had already expected it and asked,

"And how urged you to help me in killing the amber elementals?

"

n

"What?

"

n

"Everyone knows you will be dying today and they were very happy to see your end as they were always jealous of your talents.

"

nGeoffrey…no the Nether glaze evil clansmen liked to torture their prey before killing them. They want to see the despair in the faces of their prey and that's what he was trying to see in Wilfred, which he was more or less successful.

n

"You hate the evil race for losing your parents in their claws and everyone knows that. Moreover, you openly show your anger and disgust towards the evil race and even gathered similar like-minded men under you. So, everyone kept their guard against you and your followers. If not for your talents which were useful for the plans of my clan in the coming invasion, you and your loyal followers would have died already.

"

n

"Anyway, you are no longer useful to my clan. So, it is time for you to die.

"

nAs soon as he finished his words, Geoffrey looked at the other evil being who was not killing Wilfred' loyal followers and tried to toy with them.

n

"Bastard, just kill all the lowly humans.

"

nGeoffrey shouted at him and asked to kill the loyal followers of the weapons pavilion.

n

"Yes, master.

"

nThe evil being that wanted to toy with the humans was scared when it heard its master's shout and without wasting any time, it summoned a dozen icicles and killed everyone from the weapons pavilion.

n

"Sylvia, Gatrell and Klein, refine those humans and increase your strength. As for others, continue keeping an eye on the surroundings while I enjoy myself…Hehe.

"

nGeoffrey was not interested in anyone except for Wilfred and resumed his emotional taunts, making Wilfred angry and hopeless.

n

"Yes, master.

"

nThe three members who followed Geoffrey nodded their heads and transformed into their evil beings that were obviously their true forms.

nIn the next moment, they started refining the corpses to increase their strength.

nTime continued to pass and 10 minutes passed by in a flash.

n

"I want to torture you even more; however, I need to go back as I have others things to prepare for the upcoming invasion.

"

nFinally, Geoffrey decided to kill Wilfred who was still furious and wanted to kill Geoffrey even at the cost of his life.

nHowever, he was still unable to move from his place and he could not even self destruct himself.

n

"Do you have any final words left before I kill you?

"

nGeoffrey asked Wilfred with a slight smile on his face.

n

"Fuck you

"

nWilfred angrily scoffed at Geoffrey.

n

"Haha…I like it.

"

nGeoffrey was not at all angry at Wilfred's word; instead, he started laughing as he liked the prey a lot when they resisted.

n

"Now, you can go die with a heart full of resentment.

"

nA black coloured ice sword appeared in Geoffrey' hand and he tried to pierce through the heart of Wilfred.

n

"Infernal bomb

"

nJust as the sword was about to pierce through Wilfred' heart, a loud voice came from the distance and it landed exactly 8 meters away from Geoffrey.

n

"Who the hell are….?

"

n

"Boom

"

nGeoffrey frowned and looked in the direction in which the voice came from; however, before he could finish his words, he saw a huge fireball land a few meters away from him that blasted him and Wilfred away.

nSince Geoffrey was much closer to the Infernal Bomb compared to Wilfred, he received a lot of impact. What's more, just when the infernal bomb was about to land on the ground, Wilfred was pulled away by some forest vines.

nAs for other evil beings, everyone was much closer to the Infernal Bomb compared to Geoffrey and they were much weaker than Geoffrey. Nevertheless, their outcome was yet to be confirmed as the entire area was covered by smoke and dust.

n

"Damn it…who was that?

"

nGeoffrey hurriedly stood up and checked his surroundings; however, he didn't find anyone other than the corpses of his subordinates.

nUnlike him, who had the strength equivalent to a peak tier 5 general mage, his subordinates were just tier 1 to tier 3 general rank experts. So, for them, an advanced spell-like Infernal Bomb that does more damage than regular advanced spells were very critical.

n

"Aargh….whoever you are, I will pay you back and torture you to death when I find you.

"

nGeoffrey shouted as loudly as possible before running away from that place because the current place would attract a lot of spirit beasts. So, he decided to move away from that place.

n…..

nOne kilometer away from that place.

n

"Beck, did he die or what?

"

nLucas asked Beck as they continued to run away from that place.

n

"He is alive, young master. He is just unconscious.

"

nBeck replied after checking the old man's condition who was tightly wrapped by the vines of the forest fairy.

n

"Good.

"

nLucas nodded his head and waited for the system notification.

n'Ding,

nThe host killed five rank 4 evil beings.

n'Ding,

nThe host gained 4000 sovereign points and received a cultivation technique 'Darkheart refining technique'.

n'Ding,

nDo you want to learn it?

nInstead of the system notification that Lucas was waiting for, a series of system notifications appeared in front of him.

n'What? 4000 sovereign points?'

nLucas was surprised because generally a rank 4 spirit beast only gives 100 sovereign points; however, killing the evil beings with the same cultivation gave him 10 times more sovereign points.

n'Is it because of their race?'

nLucas could only think of that possibility and checked the cultivation technique he received.

n'Ding,

nCultivation technique name:- Darkheart refining technique.

nGrade:- Earl grade.

nEffect:- It can help the user absorb the evil energy from the evil beings into his heart which can be later refined into useful energy.

nSide effects:- If the user didn't refine the evil energy that the user absorbed into his heart within an hour, he might become an evil being himself.

nNote:- Cultivate it at your own risk.

nSoon, the information on the cultivation technique appeared in front of him, making Lucas raise his brows.

n'Can I convert the evil energy into one of the useful energies like Magic energy, Knight energy, Assassin energy and Tamer's energy?'

nSince the effect didn't mention clearing the useful energy, he asked the system about it.

n'Ding,

nThe host has to find it out for himself.

nHowever, the system also didn't have an answer for it and asked Lucas to learn the answer on his own.

n'...'

nLucas was speechless at the reply; however, he didn't bother to ask and decided to learn it because, in the future, he would be killing more evil beings and the evil spirit beasts.

nSo, he refined the evil energy into useful energy.

nAs for which useful energy he could convert the refined evil energy into, he was not sure and he had to find it after killing the evil beings in the future.

n'I want to learn it.'

nAs for the side effect, Lucas kept it in mind before deciding to learn the technique.

n'Ding,

nDarkheart refining technique needs 1000 sovereign points to learn. Do you want to spend time learning or do you want to follow the manual method?

n'Who will go for a manual method when I can instantly learn it? Go for the 'Pay to learn' method.'

nLucas directly chose to spend 1000 sovereign points as he gained 4000 sovereign points a few moments ago.

n'Ding,

nThe host learns the 'Darkheat refining technique' by spending 1000 sovereign points.

nAs usual, he received a huge amount of foreign knowledge in his head as he instantly understood how to refine the evil energy from the evil beings and the evil spirit beasts.

n

"Young master, I think this distance is enough.

"

nAfter riding their spirit beasts for more than 10 kilometers, Beck suggested they could stop running.

n'Ding,

nCongratulations to the host for successfully completing the mission 'Save envied genius'.
