Spare Him!

Starry Sky Principal is a warrior, but not a complete warrior.

He grabbed the True Ancestor, and although he failed to kill him with a flurry of Meteor Fist, he successfully shattered the True Ancestor's worldview.

From the outside, this thin old man looks so frail, but when you tear off his clothes, you see all those muscles on his body. What's going on?

Is this a way to look slimmer in clothes?

That's way too exaggerated.

"You... a magician, without magic... without a staff?"

"Is magic only something that can be launched from a staff? Is magic something so inconvenient?"

"Therefore, every punch I throw is Physical Magic."

Starry Sky Principal spoke, he couldn't help but think of his favorite Forty-meter Staff.

If his teacher hadn't said it would damage the image of the next generation of tower masters and rejected him, then this wouldn't be such a hassle now.

Because this is the real him. If it weren't for maintaining the traditional image of a mage in public, he would never want to use this Toothpick Staff.

Can this thing kill someone?

It's worth noting that Achilles challenged him when he was just becoming a legend.

What decided the outcome wasn't magic, but a surprise punch from Starry Sky Principal that completely stunned Achilles.

"If you ask what the truth is, my fist is the truth."

The True Ancestor raised his head; the sky was gradually brightening, and the blood moon was about to end.

I didn't expect this old man to have such a trick up his sleeve. "It was my oversight, but I'm more curious about what that layer on your body is?"

The True Ancestor was referring to the Soul-like Gauze on Starry Sky Principal's body, which was like a layer of protective true energy.

What is this thing? It's just a vengeful spirit.

It provides both psychological and physical protection.

Those are the souls of the High Tower Mage of all generations. This is not necromancy, nor is it the effect of any prop; it is a curse.

The souls of the tower's lords throughout history were sealed in jars after their deaths.

This Soul Sealing Jar is a Curse Ritual. The imprisoned soul will breed resentment. The stronger the Mental Power in life, the more terrifying the resentment will be.

The first thing each new tower master does upon assuming the position is to perform a transfer ritual to bless themselves.

When the tower master's life is threatened, the ritual is activated, and the vengeful spirits Soul Sealing Jar are released.

The blessing is applied to the cursed body to form Vengeful Soul Gauze.

At the same time, this Vengeful Soul Gauze can also sustain the life of the one who has been cursed.

The Runes and patterns engraved on Starry Sky Principal's body were painstakingly pierced into his skin by his teacher with a needle during the ritual.

This is similar to tattooing.

Seeing that Starry Sky Principal did not respond, the True Ancestor turned his gaze and glanced directly behind Starry Sky Principal.

"Friendly reminder, your mage party is about to be wiped out."

Starry Sky Principal turned around, only to find corpses strewn everywhere behind him. The mages who had turned into the Blood Clan licked the blood off their hands and sneered.

"Principal, you're getting old."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, this is the inevitable trend of the times."

"There's nothing we can do, this is destiny. You shouldn't resist it. Destiny cannot be defied. Join us, Your Majesty. The academy no longer exists."

"If the academy still exists, it must be the academy of the Blood Clan."

Seeing this, Starry Sky Principal's fist suddenly lost its strength.

"Thinking about it carefully... it turns out that so many years have passed."

"The academy has finally come to an end, and I'm already so old."

"Is this the trend of the times?"

An unstoppable trend is gradually engulfing the world.

"Actually, I should have realized it long ago. Even without another world, we would still be heading towards the end. It was all destined from the day I saw the truth of the world."

"Perhaps this is the world's punishment for me, because I rejected the power offered by the Gate of Truth."

"But I don't regret it."

The truth of the world is cruel; even the most resilient person cannot accept such an outcome.

Throughout history, those who have seen the truth have either gone mad or become fools.

The madness of the Hidden King back then is the best example, but there are still some people like Starry Sky Principal who would rather deceive themselves than accept the so-called truth.

Starry Sky Principal closed his eyes and sighed deeply, "Ah..."

Alice then attacked, "Is this a sign that they're planning to surrender? Well, at least they know what's good for them."

The giant scythe swung down toward Starry Sky Principal's neck, but Starry Sky Principal remained motionless, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.

"Truth is the death of destiny."

"And I cannot face this truth, so I will not live to see that day."

Starry Sky Principal uttered his last words, and just as the scythe was about to strike his neck, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and grabbed the scythe!

"Young lady, spare her life."

The newcomer was a man dressed in black with white hair.

Upon seeing the man, the True Ancestor frowned. "009?"

009 flicked his finger to deflect the scythe from Alice's hand, then turned to look at Starry Sky Principal.

"Sir, you are a man of great talent. It would be a pity if you died like this. Why not join me in advancing the world and realizing the great feat of the Industrial Revolution?"

Starry Sky Principal opened his eyes, but he didn't understand what 009 was saying.

At this moment, Arthur walked over with the Half-elf Jena, twirling a small knife.

"Translate it."

Jena sighed, "He said you had great talent and ability, and it would be a real pity to die like this."

"So he wants to invite you to participate in his plans and make a great contribution to the world."

A great contribution?

Upon hearing this, Starry Sky Principal's gaze dimmed. "No matter what he wants to do, the final result will be nothing but a wasted effort."

"Let him save his energy."

Jena looked at 009 and said, "He said that no matter what you want to do, it will all be in vain in the end."

009 was puzzled, "Why? Has the technology in this world been locked down?"

"Or does physics no longer exist?!"

Perhaps what you're talking about isn't even the same thing...

Jena thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out how to translate it.

At that moment, the True Ancestor attacked, shouting, "What exactly do you want, 009?"

009 looked at Sequence 008 True Ancestor, and said, "Oh, so you're here too."

"I want this person."

"What did you say?"

009 stepped forward to confront 008, saying, "This is also the will of my God."

"Can you drag my god into everything you do?" the True Ancestor mocked.

"That's right, because I'm like a tapeworm in an adult's stomach. No one in this world can understand that adult's meaning better than me!"

"You don't understand anything! You're the one who knows the least about my God!"

"You're only fit to smell the farts of Lord Aus!"

Watching the two arguing face to face, Starry Sky Principal, Alice, Jena, and Arthur all wore the same expression.

"What on earth are they doing?" Arthur asked.

Alice looked at the two swirling white tufts of fur in front of her and suddenly clapped her hands.

"These two must be brothers, right? Yes, that must be it."

Jena's lips twitched upon hearing this, because she could understand what the two people were saying.

However, it's not entirely unreasonable to say that they are brothers.

After all, 009 is derived from 008, and the immortality is extracted from 008. Both of them are white-haired, and their serial numbers differ by only one.

Calling them brothers doesn't seem inappropriate, does it?
