Chapter 88: Enemies on a Narrow Road

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The reason why Ron did not want to move together with William and the others was mainly because he had many secrets which he did not wish to reveal. Moreover, although the swamps were dangerous, Romo had given him special treatment previously and he knew that there were many natural treasures in this place. Also, although he was on good terms with William and the others, he was not a student of the Sky Blue Magic Academy after all. It was even their first time meeting each other. It was not possible for him to have complete trust in them. They might abandon him directly if they were to really encounter dangers. It was better to separate now, so as not to hurt the harmony. Also, although there was strength in number, any natural treasures found would have to be shared equally. It would be better to search alone.

Ron opened the letter as he walked. The contents of Serena’s letter were nothing more than an expression of her longing for him, and something to the effect of asking him to return safely. After Ron had read it, he kept it with him carefully. There was only one sentence, however, in Howen’s letter. It told Ron to be careful of Jared. William had previously told him about Jared, that he was also a genius. He did not have any more information. But why did Howen want him to be careful of him? He had nothing to do with him at all.

Just as Ron was perplexed, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked behind him. He saw four people approaching him quickly, and when they came closer, three of them went around him and came to his front and two sides. They surrounded him directly, not hiding their hostility toward Ron at all.

Looking at the four people who had a murderous look in their eyes, Ron was very speechless. He did not know these four people at all. Were they trying to kill him? Although he had long heard that the mystic realm trial was very dangerous and that killing one another frequently occurred, it would not be to the extent that someone would actually want to kill him so soon. Could it be that they wanted to get rid of a competitor in advance because he was alone? This was too ruthless.

“The four of you, what’s the meaning of this?” said Ron, looking coldly at them.

“Is your name Ron Nicholas?” A young man in black with purple hair asked coldly.

“Huh?” Ron was shocked. He had thought that the four of them had only wanted to reduce the number of competitors, but now, the other party had called out his name directly. It was obvious that they had known about him all along and had specially come to kill him. Ron’s expression turned even colder. He looked at the purple-haired youth and said, “Do you know me? Do we have a feud?”

“Do we have a feud? Hmph.” The other party snorted and said, “Remove the words ‘Do we’. Not only do we have a feud, our feud is as deep as the sea. I’m not afraid to tell you that my name is Lael Treis, and Ramu Treis is my biological younger brother!” At this point, the hatred in his eyes became more intense. It was obvious that he loved his biological younger brother very much, but unfortunately, he had been killed by the Nicholas family clan. Thinking of this, he said with even more hatred, “I had originally wanted to go to Winterfrost after the trial to exterminate your entire clan and take revenge for my younger brother. The heavens have eyes and have actually let me encounter you here. Today, you will die!”

“Oh, so you’re from the Treis family clan.” Ron finally learnt the identities of the four people and why they had wanted to kill him from the start. However, he was not afraid at all. He looked coldly at the other three and said, “In that case, are the three of you from the other three large family clans of the Holy Light City?”

“Hehe, you’re really smart. You’ve figured it out in a short while. It looks like you are also aware of the feuds between our four large family clans and your family.” Arden Jeffrey said coldly, “In that case, we’re also not afraid of you knowing. I’m from the Jeffrey family clan. My name is Arden.”

The other two also gave their names and said, “My name is Jess from the Byron family clan.”

“I’m Fitch from the Adrian family clan.” Fitch said in a cold voice, “Ron, don’t blame us. There’s actually no feud between us. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being born in the wrong place into the Nicholas family.”

“The Treis family, the Jeffrey family, the Byron family, the Adrian family. Haha, very good. I didn’t expect all of you from the four large family clans to be here. Since all of you are able to participate in the Blue Jade Trial, that means all of you are the geniuses from the current generation of the four large family clans, right?” Ron was not afraid of being surrounded by the four of them at all. Instead, he smiled as he spoke, which made the four of them a little puzzled. They thought, “Has this guy been scared silly? He’s still thinking about such things at this time.”

“That’s right, we are. It is your honor to die in the hands of the four of us!” Lael Treis said arrogantly.

“Hehe.” Ron sneered at Lael and said, “It’s not certain who will die. You have said something very well, which is that the heavens have eyes and have sent all of you directly to me. In that case, I’ll collect some interest for the blood debt your families clans have owed!”

Roar!

After Ron had finished speaking, a violent burst of magical power erupted, and surging magical power poured into his Ice Wand. Instantly, a faint roar of a dragon could be heard, and the phantom of a dragon soul which exuded an icy aura flew out from the Ice Wand, pouncing on Lael Treis.

After all, Lael Treis was a genius nurtured by the Treis family clan. Although he had not expected Ron to dare to attack him first in such a situation, and to even use a gold-tier magical weapon with great power, he did not panic. He raised his hand and took out a fiery red magic wand, using all his might to release a magical fire dragon.

However, the fire dragon was only a magical power. It could not be compared with the phantom of the dragon soul at all. With just a collision, the fire dragon immediately collapsed and was extinguished by the cold aura of the dragon soul. However, this also delayed some time, allowing Lael to escape. As he quickly backed away, he shouted, “What are you guys waiting for? Attack together and kill him!”

The other three had already begun to attack Ron without needing Lael’s reminder. Arden took out a magic wand which resembled a tree branch, but this was a high-grade silver-tier wand and it was very powerful. He waved his hand, and surging magical power poured into the magic wand. Then, with a wave of his hand, countless venomous snakes instantly attacked Ron from underground. Then, these underground venomous snakes emerged and wrapped tightly around Ron, preventing him from moving. It turned out that those were not venomous snakes at all but some incredibly tough vines. This Arden was a wood-based Mage. The other two were overjoyed. Now that Ron had been ensnared by Arden’s wood-based magical power, he would just be a target for them to freely attack..
