The Price of Compensation!

Even though she couldn't witness the specifics of Robet and Valentine's Valentine, Clary could still sense just how powerful Robet were. Because as the two fought, even though Clary was inside the Magic Academy, and the Magic Academy had reinforced the surroundings with arrays, the place was still trembling violently...

Such terrifying strength left Clary feeling somewhat bewildered. She had only just entered the world of the extraordinary, and although she knew that Robet was very powerful, she didn't really grasp the extent of his strength. But this time, Clary seemed to understand that the gap between her and Robet was much greater than she had imagined!

"Their strength is naturally formidable, perhaps even surpassing the most powerful Shadow Hunter. Perhaps only the Angel who created the Shadow Hunter lineage could be stronger than them?" Hearing Clary's words, the Guardian sighed softly. Even though the Shadow Hunter lineage had once been glorious, it was still far too weak compared to Robet and Valentine now!

"Indeed, their strength would be considered that of a Demon King in Hell. Such strength would also be considered very powerful on Earth. Apart from some big shots who are hiding their identities, there are not many people stronger than them..." Constantine nodded in agreement and said softly.

"Are there people on Earth who are even more powerful than them?" A look of disbelief flashed in Clary's beautiful eyes. Robet and Valentine's strength had already exceeded her comprehension. Now, hearing Constantine say that there were even more powerful people, Clary found it hard to accept.

After all, Clary has only been in the transcendental world for a short time and doesn't know much about it. Moreover, the Magic Academy itself isn't particularly strong right now. Apart from dealing with Demon, it hasn't had much contact with the transcendental world. The Magic Academy currently knows very little about the world beyond that the leader of the magic lineage is Kamar-Taj and that there is a powerful Sorcerer Supreme there...

"The Earth may not mean much to some beings, but to those who have just entered the world of the extraordinary, the Earth is vast, so vast that anyone you meet on the street could also be a member of the extraordinary realm..." Constantine shook his head and said softly.

Constantine had encountered similar situations before, and he had even nearly been defeated several times because he hadn't grasped the opponent's strength, including his first encounter with Robet.

"Then what should we do if we want to become stronger?" Clary Constantine, her expression somewhat confused as she fell silent. After a long while, she murmured unconsciously.

"Clary!" Upon hearing Clary's words, the Guardian's voice turned serious. Looking at Clary with a solemn expression, he said in a deep voice, "Do you know how dangerous your current thoughts are? You haven't even mastered your current abilities, yet you're already thinking about becoming even more powerful. This will lead you astray!"

"That's what happened to Valentine. He was originally an excellent Shadow Hunter, but when he coveted greater power, he went astray and ended up like this. Do you want to become like Valentine now?!"

"..." Upon hearing the Guardian's words, Clary lowered her head with some guilt and fell silent once again. Some of the Shadow Hunter beside her had the same thoughts as Clary, but now they also fell silent, feeling ashamed.

These Shadow Hunter had always been fighting Demon, and they had never encountered any formidable opponents. Even with the recent surge in the number of Demon, they still hadn't met many powerful Demon, because the powerful ones had either gone into hiding or been killed by Robet and Clark during their sweeps.

Therefore, the Shadow Hunter of the past never thought about whether they were strong enough; they had never seen the light and could have endured the darkness.

But now, having witnessed the power of Robet and Valentine, even the most outstanding Jess Central City the same thought as Clary: Jess knows that even if he spends his entire life developing his abilities, he could never become as powerful as Robet...

Fortunately, the Guardian noticed this situation and, through his reprimand of Clary, brought all the Shadow Hunter to their senses. Even if some Shadow Hunter still harbored a desire to improve their strength, the chances of them going astray were actually not very high.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, going astray also requires strength and talent. Valentine's ability to get to where he is today is not only due to being targeted and misled, but more importantly, because Valentine's own talent was among the best of the Shadow Hunter at the time.

Even Jess, the most powerful Shadow Hunter of this generation, is far inferior to Valentine in terms of talent; perhaps only Clary can surpass him.

Therefore, even if there is concern that some Shadow Hunter might also go astray, it is enough to only pay attention to Jess, Clary, and a few others. The others are not capable of truly going astray; at most, they will become disheartened and give up their identity as Shadow Hunter.

Over the years, quite a few Shadow Hunter have done this, which is why the Shadow Hunter in the Magic Academy are so young now. Eventually, Shadow Hunter tire of their destiny of constantly hunting Demon and choose to abandon their duty...

"The Holy Grail..." However, what the Guardian didn't expect was that after Clary fell silent, she actually thought of the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail was the artifact of the Shadow Hunter, but it had become the tool that led Valentine astray. Clary wondered, Valentine became what he was because of Demon Blood, but what if he used Angel's Blood? Would Valentine not have become what he is now?

Thoughts flashed through Clary's mind. Unbeknownst to her, the Tarot Cards with the Holy Grail pattern in her arms was emitting a faint white light, but it was concealed by Clary's clothes and not exposed. Even Constantine and the Guardian did not notice this anomaly, because everyone's attention had returned to the great battle between Robet and Valentine.

"Why?! Why am I still no match for you?!" At this moment, Valentine's mentality was gradually breaking down as he fought Robet. He watched in disbelief as he was injured by Robet time and time again. Even though his fighting strength had not decreased, Valentine clearly felt that his strength had been completely suppressed by Robet, which was something Valentine could not accept.

Of course, it's not surprising that Valentine's mentality exploded like this, because he suddenly gained great power without knowing it. As Awakened One who is clearly someone else's pawn but is completely unaware of it, and who thinks he is very powerful, it is indeed difficult to maintain a good mentality when faced with setbacks.

With a loud "bang," Robet slammed the mentally broken Valentine down from the sky with a single punch, sending him crashing through the ground into a bottomless abyss. Even with the reinforcement of the array, the ground could not withstand Robet's power, and Valentine was severely injured by this attack.

Of course, possessing the power of both Angel's Blood and Demon Blood, Valentine recovered quickly, but his mentality completely collapsed. He couldn't accept his current situation because his thoughts told him that the ending wasn't like this!

"No! I don't accept this! This isn't real! I'm going to become the Demon King, I'm the future ruler of Earth, how can I lose to some nobody?!" Beneath the earth, Valentine struggled to accept his current situation. He roared angrily, the Holy Light around him dimming further, while the power belonging to the Demon rose continuously.

It is said that the power of Angel and Demon is fused into one, but after entering Hell, the Fallen Angel used the power of Hell Origin to deduce new powers, abandoning the Holy Light they once possessed. How could Valentine, a mere figure, possibly have the virtue or ability to perfectly control the power of Angel and Demon as one?

The power within Valentine was merely the result of the Angel's consciousness forcibly incorporating itself into his body after entering it. Even with human blood as a binder, it only appeared perfect. To completely fuse the powers of Angel and Demon and create an even greater force was something even the Angel controlling Valentine couldn't achieve, let alone Valentine himself.

At this moment, with the complete collapse of Valentine's mentality, the power within Valentine's body also began to become unbalanced. Compared to the holy Angel Power, the power of the Demon was more suitable for Valentine's current state of mind!

"The aura is already chaotic? And it hasn't appeared yet? Does this really mean I have to kill him again before the mastermind intervenes and rescues him once more?" Robet sensed the chaos in Valentine's aura beneath the ground. He hovered in mid-air and muttered softly, "You'd better keep a close eye on him. Don't let Valentine get taken away again..."

Robet wasn't talking to himself; he was speaking to Clark, who was watching them. It would be difficult for Robet alone to detect the movements of the person behind Valentine, but if Robet and Clark worked together, the probability of detecting the opponent would increase significantly.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things for you!" Clark nodded, his voice transmitting into Robet's mind.

"Alright, then I'll go down and give him another nudge!" Robet, his figure instantly disappearing from his spot as he rushed towards the deep pit where Valentine was. Since Valentine didn't seem to be coming up immediately, Robet had no choice but to go down himself!

"Useless!" However, just as Robet rushed into the deep pit, a terrifying consciousness swept out, and the Demon power that was surging on Valentine's body instantly subsided. Then, a voice that sounded like that of a god rang out.

The voice wasn't directed at Robet, but Robet felt immense pressure. He vanished from the pit in a flash and reappeared on the surface, warily watching the pit.

In that surge of consciousness, Robet felt immense pressure. Robet wasn't sure if Clark, at his full power, could exert such pressure on him, but Robet was certain that Diana's consciousness during the previous battle hadn't been this terrifying!

As the divine voice appeared, Clary, whose consciousness was somewhat hazy, took out the Tarot Cards with the Holy Grail symbol in the Magic Academy, and then took out the Holy Grail from it.

"Clary! What are you doing?!" Constantine reacted the fastest, looking at Clary with some surprise and calling out.

"Huh? Ah!" Clary snapped out of her daze upon hearing Constantine's voice. Her body trembled suddenly, and she instinctively released the Holy Grail from her hand. However, the Holy Grail did not fall but remained suspended in mid-air. Immediately afterward, a strange power enveloped the entire Magic Academy.

With the appearance of this strange power, everyone present, except Constantine, lost the ability to move, becoming like wooden figures, completely unresponsive...

"WTF?!" Constantine exclaimed in surprise. He realized something was wrong with the Holy Grail. Just as he was about to create a Magic Sigil to deal with Holy Grail, a life-or-death crisis suddenly enveloped Constantine's heart. As someone who had struggled on the edge of life and death for many years, Constantine immediately chose to trust his first instinct. The Magic Sigil in his hand changed, and he directly changed to another Magic Sigil!

With a "poof!" sound, a beam of Holy Light flashed where Constantine was. Constantine's figure had already left that spot, but after the Holy Light swept over the original location, a gap appeared.

With a "whoosh," after Constantine disappeared, the Holy Grail began to spin above the heads of Clary and the others. Streams of holy white light rose from Clary and Clary others, and their expressions instantly became weak. However, they remained completely unconscious and motionless, standing still like wooden figures.

The next moment, drops of holy blood rose from the bodies of the Shadow Hunter. As these drops of holy blood flew into the Holy Grail, Clary and the others collapsed to the ground. They felt incredibly weak, their original strength had vanished, and they didn't even have the strength to move.

Clearly, it's not just Constantine's Tracking Magic that comes at a price; the Shadow Hunter lineage also has to pay the price. The Angel who once bestowed upon them the Angel's Blood has taken back his own blood!

This Angel's Blood has been passed down through generations of Shadow Hunter, weakening Shadow Hunter with each passing generation, but also absorbing the power they've developed. Demon has also provided them with the residual power from the Shadow Hunter Hell Dimension, gained from slaying Shadow Hunter —this is the price the Shadow Hunter pay for their power...

The power bestowed by Angel is not given away for free!
