Death… And Me Chapter 1155 - Ancestor Paulo

Chapter 1155 - Ancestor Paulo

Milina couldn't help but ask, "How did you find out about the flaw in his abilities?"

Sure enough, even Hedoi's expression changed as he also wanted to know that.

Roan shrugged his shoulders as he replied, "I didn't really know. All I knew was that his ability used Yin Energy and Dark Element. That being said, I decided to let him use his skill on me so that I could test whether it worked on a Dark Affinity cultivator or not. Since we were already heading in the direction where we were going to give up on this battle, I might as well test his abilities out."

Roan continued, "I just didn't expect that by copying what he was trying to do with his marionette threads, I would take control over his body instead. That was totally out of my expectations. My idea was to see if I could recover my body's control once he had that skill working on me. Well, it worked, so that's what matters."

Hedoi felt like crying after hearing that. In the end, the guy didn't even aim for something like this. However, the problem now was that he was locked down. Well, he wouldn't die, nor would he be crippled. The protection device would prevent that from happening.

After replying to Milina's question, Roan looked at him and said, "Now then, what should I do with you?"

Rean then got an idea. "Hey, isn't everyone probably watching this match? How about we make him do some funny tricks? It's always good to entertain the public."

Hedoi was taken aback. He obviously preferred to be tortured than having people watch him humiliating himself.

Roan didn't care about such things, though. "Enough with the bulls.h.i.t. It's quite unfortunate that I can't make him speak his own secrets. This technique isn't controlling the mind, only the body."

Rean found that strange, though. He couldn't help but ask through their Soul Connection. 'Can't you force him with your Dark Element?'

Roan shook his head. 'I can, but I don't want to show that it's possible now that everyone is looking.'

Rean understood and didn't ask again.

In the end, Roan simply held Hedoi there until time was up. Eventually, due to the match having ended with Rean's group having more members, they won. They were teleported through the spatial door once again and arrived at the waiting room.

Hedoi, obviously, was released from his own marionette skill. Roan took his spatial ring to see if he could find the skill book that explained how to use that marionette skill, perhaps a jade slip. Unfortunately, Hedoi didn't have it on his person.

Hedoi saw as the Sacred Land people brought his sealed companions away and then looked at Roan. "This isn't over. The marionette control is just a skill I use for fun as it's not effective against people with higher cultivation. Next time, don't expect me to make the same mistake."

Roan nodded, not caring too much. "Yeah, yeah. So be it."

The two teams separated, and Gala came to talk with Hedoi through Divine Sense. 'What will we do? The sect master definitely saw this defeat of ours. Do you think he's gonna kill all of us?'

Hedoi shook his head as he told Gala, 'No, he won't. Didn't you see? Their group already had 21 points when they fought us. Even if we won, they're pretty much guaranteed into the top 60. Besides, their next opponents are those pieces of trash from Tacon Country. There's no way they would lose to that. In the end, the chance to make them fail the recruitment had never shown itself. Sect master can't blame us for that.'

However, Hedoi looked at the three guys who were released from the protective device. 'However, he's probably gonna kill those three if he's too angry. Don't meddle with them too much as I can't guarantee your safety.'

Gala nodded after hearing that. 'Alright. Our next battle is basically decided, so we have also joined the Sacred Land with it. Let's focus on the next test.'

Back in the guest hall, Fabio simply couldn't wipe the smile on his face even if someone beat him. With the victories against both Holang and Klacks Country, his proteges would definitely join the Sacred Land. "When was the last time someone from our Kamos Kingdom joined the Sacred Land? Hahaha! I can't even remember as I wasn't born."

Haera knew that it was over. Her brother had truly found the perfect duo to bring him all the merit from the Sacred Land Recruitment. "The last person from our Kamos Kingdom to join was Ancestor Paulo. I wasn't born at that time either, as it was over 3000 years ago. However, as far as I know, our father has some contact with him. It seems like Ancestor Paulo is still a minor elder in the Sacred Land."

Suddenly, a voice echoed behind Haera's back in response to that. "Sorry for being a minor elder."

Haera almost jumped in fright. The man behind her appeared like a ghost, so she didn't notice at all. "An-Ancestor Paulo!" Haera had never seen the man up close, but her father did have his picture, so she recognized him immediately.

Paulo ignored Haera and looked at Fabio, asking, "Are those five your proteges, especially the twins?"

Fabio's expression immediately changed into one of respect as he bowed to Paulo. "Yes, Ancestor. This Fabio was lucky to find them in a small city of our Kamos Kingdom."

Paulo nodded before saying, "I shall pa.s.s that brat Varold a message, telling about your good eye for talents."

Fabio couldn't be happier to hear that. Not only was he going to receive a lot of attention, but even the Ancestor that they had in the Sacred Land was also recommending him. That didn't mean he would become king one day, but it was definitely an enormous step ahead. "Thank you, Ancestor Paulo."

The other princes and princesses were obviously dying of jealousy, but they didn't dare raise their voices.

Paulo looked at the scoring board and then back at Fabio. "Tell those five that I'll make the arrangements in the Sacred Land for them. I'm also looking forward to their performance in the next test.." After that, he turned around and left before anyone could ask anything.
