Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Relying On the Power of External Forces is No Different From Garbage

Apophis had been an old creature that had survived for more than ten years.

The lifespans of strange creatures were not short, and it was much longer than that of human beings.

However, most strange creatures die very early.

They would either die at the hands of other strange creatures or at the hands of the Mage Association.

There were only a few creatures like Apophis who had lived for more than ten years.

Therefore, Apophis actually had a lot of life experience and higher intelligence than other strange creatures.

Although he could not sense the true strength of the scarecrow, he was clear about one thing.

If he made an enemy of the scarecrow, he definitely would not gain any benefits.

On the contrary, surrendering was the best choice.

Moreover, a strange creature surrendering to another creature was a completely different concept than a creature surrendering to humans.

After submitting to humans, a strange creature would become humanized, and the creature’s soul would no longer be complete.

The details of his form would change according to his master’s will.

In other words, he would no longer be him, but a completely new him.

However, submitting to another strange creature would not result in such a situation.

There were no differences between any strange creature’s cognition, regardless of their form.

The only thing that mattered was their strength.

Surrendering to the scarecrow meant he could keep his original form—his complete soul.

He could even obtain a powerful backer.

He believed that if he surrendered to the scarecrow, he would be able to live for a very long time.

This did not need to be questioned.

Just by watching the scarecrow in this battle, it could be seen.

One person against all the members of the Sarkos branch.

The scarecrow was completely unharmed and the Sarkos branch was completely destroyed.

Apophis did not think that he could achieve such a result alone.

Therefore, he was willing to submit to the scarecrow.

After the scarecrow narrowed his eyes and said ‘I accept’ with a smile, Apophis immediately turned into a ball of light and flew into the middle of the scarecrow’s brows.

At this moment, an island appeared in the scarecrow’s sea of consciousness.

This island was not a small island, but a big one.

Not only was it far larger than Black’s bald island, there were also many plants and mountains on the island, lush and full of vitality.

This was also the embodiment of Apophis’s strength.

The scarecrow nodded in satisfaction and said loudly in its sea of consciousness, “Apophis, from today onwards, your name’s ‘Sword’.

“Sword Apophis.”

Out of some respect for Apophis, the scarecrow chose to keep Apophis’s original name.

After receiving such respect, Apophis was naturally full of admiration.

“I, Sword Apophis, thank the Lord for the name.”

After receiving the reply, the scarecrow nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Flanders’s strength had increased once again, reaching C-class!

Subduing Apophis had actually allowed Flanders to increase by two levels in a go!

Flanders was pleasantly surprised, and with a simple thought, a huge magic sword appeared in his hand.

The sword’s entire body was red, and its dual blades were incredibly sharp.

There was a white skull on the hilt of the sword, and the skull’s eyes were flickering with a strange green light.

This was Apophis’s original form!

Apophis, who was 2.4 meters long, looked much taller than the scarecrow.

At this moment, however, he did not give anyone the slightest sense of disharmony.

The scarecrow was his master, and Apophis was the servant.

It was only natural that the master controlled the servant.

…

Seeing his beloved sword fall into the hands of the scarecrow, the Sword King’s face was filled with unwillingness.

He looked at the scarecrow with resentment. The teeth in his mouth were tightly clenched together, almost to the point of shattering.

However, he would not do anything superfluous.

This was his chance to survive by sacrificing the magic sword.

He was definitely not going to make a move that would end his own life.

Moreover, without Apophis’s support, the Sword King’s strength had already plummeted.

The current Sword King was merely an E+ weakling.

Flanders could also feel the change in the Sword King’s strength. He revealed a contemptuous look.

A person could only rely on external items to increase his strength. The moment he loses this item, his true form would be revealed and he would once again become trash.

“Today, I’ll spare your life.” Flanders’s cold words came out of his mouth and the Sword King immediately let out a sigh of relief.

He was most afraid that the scarecrow would go back on his word after obtaining the magic sword. There would be nothing he could do about it then.

However, just as he heaved a sigh of relief, the scarecrow’s next words made him nervous again.

“However, I don’t care if your subordinates are willing to spare your life.”

After saying that, the scarecrow carried Apophis and leaped off the rooftop, leaving immediately.

The Sword King then realized that the other members on the rooftop were staring at him with bloodshot eyes.

“What, what are you trying to do?!

“I’m your department head, your superior, are you trying to rebel?!

“Killing your comrade’s a very serious crime. Aren’t you afraid of being punished by headquarters?!”

Looking at the other members who were slowly approaching him, the Sword King had a terrified expression as he backed away in panic.

However, the member who was originally fighting alongside him now said with a cold expression, “Department head? Superior?

“When you betrayed us just now, why didn’t you remember who you were?

“Accountability? Haha.

“As long as we don’t say anything, who’d know that you were killed by us?”

A sinister smile appeared on the faces of every member.

The intense killing intent had already materialized and it was pointed at the Sword King. It could no longer be concealed.

As for the Sword King, the terror in his eyes could no longer be concealed in the face of this intense killing intent.

[Fear points: +5,000.]

After receiving the last system notification, Flanders, who had already left, knew what had happened on the rooftop.

However, this had nothing to do with him.

What he needed to do now was to quickly leave this place and look for his next prey.

…

Ten minutes later, 11 figures arrived on the rooftop at the same time.

Looking at the corpses that littered the ground, Garros said in a low voice, seemingly unconcerned, “Did he escape?”

The ‘he’ Garros was referring to was naturally the scarecrow.

After receiving the information given by Teach, he immediately gathered his team members and rushed to Sarkos City as fast as he could.

However, he was still one step too late.

Nevertheless, knowing that the scarecrow was near Sarkos made things easier.

“Everyone, split up and search for the scarecrow.

“Zero, come with me to meet Teach.

“Disperse.”

In an instant, nine figures flew off in all directions at the same time, leaving only Garros, whose face was full of wrinkles, and a masked woman.

“Let’s go and find out what happened.”
