Chapter 223: A Promise.
"How dare you speak to me like that? Do you even know who you’re talking to?, This is not like the last time we met, I have now entered the Earth ranking board and have become one of the core members of the academy."
"Fighting with me is only going to end badly for you, You should be aware of this, Since you no longer reside at the Terran peak, it means you are no longer his disciple and should not concern yourself with such matters."
Orion said this towards the new Mage that had just appeared, but he only snorted in response, Different types of large Earth Element runes revolved around him as his chill smile never changed.
"I dare you to make your move, because I’m really interested in checking out the powers of the so called Earth ranking masters, And no,one of you have the right to revoke my status as Terran’s disciple, That decision is only between him and me, so let that statement never repeat itself."
Orion’s facial expression changed when he realized that the new Mage wasn’t going to back down easily, It was clear for all to see that he was determined to be a thorn in Orion’s side, Orion knew about him, he was someone that have always survive death no matter the amount of assassination attempt on his life .
Though many people were unaware of who he was, what was even more shocking to them was the fact that the mighty Orion was hesitant to strike or not.
Such actions on his part only served to raise the new mage’s prestige, as they had never heard of a mage who could make an Earth ranking genius hesitate to fight.
As only a genius could face another genius, Orion grew tired of the new mage’s expression and made his move, He was followed by a raging tide of water , while the other mage protecting Alec and the rest of the Gordons clan cast another sandstorm, planning to clash with Orion.
"Enough!"
A man mysteriously appeared before both of them and opened his palm, blocking the two destructive attacks of Orion and the Earth Mage at the opposite side, His grip was so strong that they couldn’t retract their hands.
The mage who protected Alec quickly bowed before the man, while Orion could only stare at Terran in shock.
Terran was the one who effortlessly stopped their attacks, as if it was nothing spectacular at all, The other instructor also descended from the skies, although his clothes appeared fine, his pale facial expression indicated that he must have been internally injured.
"Look at you, getting smug and initiating an attack on me the moment you stepped into the Tier 8 Mage realm, What were you planning to achieve?, Defeating me and using my name to build a reputation for yourself? Please, don’t make me laugh!, I have killed Tier 8 lifeforms before don’t make me add a mage to the list."
Terran sneered at the instructor who had finally reappeared, Alec’s eyes kept darting between his master and the other instructor.
While his instructor’s clothes were in shambles, he seemed completely unharmed, Alec couldn’t comprehend how his instructor had won a fight against a Tier 8 Mage in the skies when he himself was only a Peak Tier 7 mage.
Alec had always been taught that the gap between mid-rank stages was vast and difficult to bridge with talent alone.
The high-rank stages were even more daunting, However, just like his Grandfather the patriarch of the Gordons clan and the Third Elder, his instructor shattered his preconceived notions, Terran proved himself to be among those talented and extraordinary mages.
Though Alec still had questions, he decided to keep them to himself for now and inquire his master about them later.
"What are you so proud of? Once I stabilize my realm, I will come back to attack you, And if I still can’t defeat you, I will go back and train until I reach a realm where I can conquer you."
"You want to know why I’m so arrogant? It’s simple, You haven’t made any progress in your cultivation for a very long time, while I have continuously moved forward, step by step, And as long as you still have your heart demons, I am confident that I will be able to defeat you one day."
The instructor said this before adjusting his clothes and walking away hisdiscipp quickly joined him but before he could go far Alec stopped him
" I shall repay this Humiliation back in multiple Folds I just hope you are prepared causes I would stop at nothing to defeat you"
" Bring it on insect I shall be waiting for you, two months from now on the death Arena"
"it’s a deal!"
Orion left after setting a match with Alec and the mages nearby stare at Alec like he was already gone, as they felt it was another plan hatched to kill another of Instructor Terran’s Disciple.
Alec looked at his master with eyes filled with questions, but Brandon appeared unaffected, Arthur’s eyes held admiration, while Agnes looked at him with great curiosity.
When Terran witnessed this, it reminded him of his previous disciple, and his fist clenched in determination.
He made up his mind to give his all in raising this new set of disciples, so that they would not easily perish in life-and-death tribulations where he couldn’t save them.
He approached the Gordon clansman whose hand had been severed and summoned an Earth Elemental spirit to use heal magic, reattaching the mage’s hand to its previous state.
"Thank you, master!" the Gordon clansman exclaimed, attempting to bow, but Terran stopped him before he could.
"That’s enough. You are all under my care, so forgive me for only being able to provide limited security,"
Terran said with his head bowed, It was evident from his actions that he was mentally affected by his disciple’s injury. Enjoy new stories from NovelBin.Côm
This was one of the reasons why he hadn’t been able to step into the Tier 8 Mage realm, His body, mana, and spirit were unable to unite due to his strong attachment to his student, Whenever anyone got hurt, it affected his spirit, making it more difficult for him to achieve a breakthrough.
His body and mana levels were much higher than his spiritual power, and without the unity of spirit, he would be unable to evolve his manifestation.
Thus, Terran had been trapped in his current realm due to the heart demon of his disciple’s potential demise, Though he acted as if he didn’t care, but he was like the earth element he controlled — tough on the outside, yet soft on the inside.
