"Victor..." Amber had never seen Victor this angry before.

"I had a debt to repay for your family killing my parents."

Hearing Victor’s words, everyone’s eyes widened.

From his memories, he knew the murderers were from the Sylph Family, who had participated in the war between the Kingdoms of Eindrik and Drakol, and it was the Duke himself who had killed his parents.

’Fuck, what dogshit luck...’ Jack cursed inwardly. His eyes widened in terror when he felt his body turn stiff and completely unable to move.

"Who the fuck are your parents?" Jack asked in terror.

"It was the Baron and Baroness Silvernum," Victor replied coldly.

Hearing this, Jack cursed inwardly again. Who would have thought he would encounter such a disaster over killing some petty barons? He was certain that in his father’s eyes, they hadn’t even been worth a second glance and were crushed like insignificant ants.

"No, don’t kill me! My father is the Duke of the Sylph Family of the Kingdom of Drakol! If you kill me, my father will immediately know and take vengeance on you!" Jack shouted with eyes full of fear as he felt the pressure around his body increase further, forcing him to his knees beneath the crushing weight. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Bang! Bang!

Victor did not reply and casually killed the men beside Jack as their bodies exploded into bloody mist.

"Damn you!" the man exclaimed when he felt the mana around his body begin to fluctuate wildly and the pressure increase further. With bloodshot eyes, he shouted, "The one who killed me was Victor Silvernum of the Kingdom of Eindrik!"

"Trash."

Victor sneered as he looked at the corpse. He had already seen through Fate Information that the treasure he wanted was with one of them.

He walked forward and searched through the bodies. His eyes lit up when he found the storage rings. After some time, he finally found what he had been looking for.

He brought out a plain-looking knight armor. This was one of the treasures he had come here for.

Soul Lightning Armor

Rank: ?????

Type: Soul Weapon

Description: A soul weapon which is currently dormant. Requires a Lightning Bloodline Warlock of at least A-rank to bond with it.

--------

In his previous life, he had stumbled upon this item but could not bind with it due to lacking a Lightning Warlock Bloodline. Soul weapons were the rarest kind of weapons, as they could grow alongside their user to the highest ranks and possessed many powerful built-in abilities.

[Does host want to form a contract with the Soul Lightning Armor? Yes / No]

"Yes."

Victor selected the option without hesitation and waited eagerly like a child about to unwrap a Christmas present.

[Ding Dong]

[Soul Lightning Armor searching for a Lightning Warlock Bloodline...]

[Lightning Warlock Bloodline detected.]

[Initiating bond... 1... 2... 3...]

[Ding Dong]

[Bonding has failed due to lack of a Mythical Lightning Spirit.]

[Please feed the soul of a Mythical Lightning Spirit to the Armor to awaken it.]

"What?!" Victor exclaimed upon seeing this, and suddenly his eyes widened when he sensed a sudden shift in the atmosphere.

Rumble...

"This..." A rare trace of nervousness appeared on Victor’s face.

Drakol Kingdom, Sylph City

Soldiers wearing armor and silver spears patrolled the quiet streets of the beautiful city.

Tall buildings soared into the clouds. There were also a few floating islands in the city, which seemed to be a prominent tourist attraction, from which beautiful waterfalls of pure, crystal-clear water cascaded down, bathing the clouds and covering the world in mist.

The atmosphere was free of impurities, viruses, and dust.

Suddenly, the patrolling soldiers stopped dead in their tracks, and their eyes widened when they saw a black pillar erupt from a building and shoot toward the sky.

At this very moment, the always peaceful and silent palace was turning into complete chaos, with soldiers shouting and panicking.

"Heavens, a black pillar—who among the Sylph Family died?" a soldier said in a hushed voice. Whenever even a direct member of the Sylph Family died, a black pillar would erupt, and this had been a frequent occurrence during the war between Eindrik and Drakol.

Inside a spacious hall adorned with golden statues and chandeliers made of precious minerals, a middle-aged man suddenly opened his razor-sharp eyes, filled with killing intent, and said, "Who dares? Who killed my son?!"

The man shouted as he left the room and arrived in another chamber

.

"Quickly check who killed my son," the man said as his teeth ground together in fury.

A man hurriedly brought an orb, and the orb began to glow as a few words appeared.

Kingdom of Eindrik

Victor Silvernum

"Damn, a bastard from the Eindrik Kingdom!" Duke William Sylph roared in anger and looked at his butler before asking, "Who the hell is this Silvernum Family?"

The butler wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "From what I know, they were a Baron family. From what I know, they died by your hands during the war, leaving only their young son behind."

"Good, good. A mere Baron family’s heir dares to kill my son? Not only will I kill that bastard, but I will also slowly torture him to death," the man said with bloodshot eyes.

"Prepare the army. I am going to attack," Duke William said, and the butler was startled.

"My Lord, if we do this, it will invite backlash. We only just entered into a peace treaty," the butler hurriedly said, but stopped when he felt the Duke’s glare upon him.

"It’s because you have been loyal for so many years that I am not outright killing or crippling you. If it were someone else who defied me like this, he would already be dead." The butler broke out in cold sweat when he heard him.

"And now, to answer your concern, I won’t face any problems. The King was already planning an invasion, as the Kingdom of Eindrik is about to erupt into civil war within a month at most," the Duke explained, and he was about to continue—

Rumble

"What the hell?" Duke William was startled when it felt like the whole world had begun shaking.

Then his eyes widened in shock. "This mana density..."
