Chapter 526 - 478: A New Era, Old Grudges_2
"There’s a possibility," Yugas’s calmness surprised the giant shrouded in darkness, while the elegant ghoul continued, "but the Guild Leader hasn’t announced my failure, so I still have a chance. As long as there’s a chance, I won’t give up. Those young people don’t know the real secret of the Elegy Poetry Society; they don’t even know when they lost the qualifications to compete in this competition, and that’s exactly my advantage."
The dark giant fell silent again, and then he sighed.
"I don’t understand your thoughts, but just get to the point, what do you want me to do? As long as it doesn’t violate the rules of the Elegy Poetry Society, I can help you."
Yugas said happily, "I knew I could rely on you. I wouldn’t ask you to break the rules, of course. I just want you to seriously help the newcomer through the current difficulties. I hope this lich can ascend to deification soon, for then he would lose his qualification to compete with me."
"How far is he from becoming a deity?"
"I don’t know; he is very peculiar. By all accounts, as a mortal who instigated a war among deities and deceived many of them, he should have already obtained Aeo’s recognition. But there has been no reaction. I guess the Guild Leader stopped his deification, or there might be other reasons. But it doesn’t matter; let him continue to be arrogant. Aeo won’t sit idly by and allow a deity to interfere with a mortal at will, nor will he allow a mortal to toy with all gods. Deification or destruction, that is his inevitable end."
"Alright, I’ll help him, but I must kill Arthur Laine."
"You can decide on that yourself. I don’t doubt your determination, but I question your capability. You weren’t a match for Arthur Laine even when you were alive, and now that you’ve become undead, holy light affects you even more. Can you withstand Arthur Laine’s Holy Slash?"
