Chapter 774: 562 Deal Finalized

When Ace thought Londyn was done with her explanation on Shadow Walk, he soon found out he was dead wrong about it.

Londyn spoke in a teasing tone, "This was just the speed aspect of Shadow Walk, but not what its actual use. If this was a skill only used for escaping, then it won't be an upper sky-grade skin.

"Let me tell you a brief history of the Shadow Walk. This skill was discovered in ruin over a thousand years ago by the royal demon institute's principal. But according to Lord Principal, this skill was just a superficial version of a Law Skill called Shadow Teleportation.

"One could only imagine just how powerful this so-called Law Skill might be since just this superficial version of it was a sky-grade level.

"Nevertheless, just the Shadow Walk alone had earned its place in the core area of the central library. Because the Shadow Walk Skill is made for flawless assassination.

"With Shadow Walk, one could appear on a shadow from miles away as long as there is a shadow and one could see it. They could appear right on it, just like what I did with you!"

Ace was astonished when he heard this. After all, he knew what a Law Skill represents more than Londyn because he got even techniques that required law comprehension.

Furthermore, this Shadow Teleportation seemed to be related to the ability to teleport, which only exists in legends.

When he thought deeply about how Londyn appeared right in front of them without even him noticing a thing, he understood just how scary the Shadow Walk was if one could appear right in another person's shadow from miles away.

It was akin to teleportation, even!

Londyn liked Archie's awed expression, and she said, "You might be thinking that it is like the teleportation of legends, right? But sadly, it's not, because at night when there is no shadow but darkness, the Shadow Walk lost this aspect.

"For some reason, one could only use Shadow Walk when a shadow generates from light but not in dark places where's no light. But just this much is enough to make it a perfect skill for assassination.

"Let's start our lessons. I want you to appear in a shadow ten meters away at the end of our season. First, remember this skill and its aspects, and don't pass it on to someone else if you don't want to get detained by the institute, that is."

Londyn took out a thick gray book and tossed it toward Archie without waiting for his reply as if it doesn't matter.

Ace caught the book, and just as he thought it was the Shadow Walk skill so he started to memorize it as he was told. He was also quite curious about this astonishing skill which originated from a law skill.

Furthermore, he had comprehended [Shadow] law even though it was just over 2%, it was still something that even a manifestation realm expert might not have.

So, he was quite hopeful about making it work.

Afterward, Londyn took out an array plate and activated it. As a result, the white room suddenly started to change as an illusion began to manifest.

Thereupon, Ace found himself standing in the middle of a grass field, and the center of this grass field was a straw hut with no door.

Londyn said, "You have five days to appear in the shadow of this hut and don't use any movement skill, I'll know if you did!" She narrowed her eyes, "Lastly, you can ask me any question related to Shadow Walk, and you have five chances to make me demonstrate it to you. Even if I give you more chances, you'll never be able to understand if you don't understand the first five-time!"

Done explaining, she took out a comfortable chair and sat on it without speaking anything else.

Ace was also happy since he didn't want Londyn to watch his every move or nag him. So, he sat down and started studying the skill book closely to understand the fundamentals behind it.

Londyn silently watched Archie mulling over the skill book and said nothing. She had gone out of her way to give Archie five days of her time, which would be impossible for any ordinary core student to get just for the sake of Clouse.

It was also only possible because there was still time before the official classes would commence, as well as the names for the Ancient Alliance Gathering will be announced.

Meanwhile, inside another Royal Tower,

The Soul Combat Royal Tower was just as lavish and facilitated as the Soul Assassin Royal Tower, but with slightly different training facilities.

On the 99th floor,

A handsome life soul demon with a cold demeanor was impassively looking at another life soul demon who was kneeling in front of him.

This Life Soul Demon with a cold demeanor was none other than Daniel Life Soul, as well as the current youngest student of Housemaster Ampersand.

While the demon kneeling was another core-grade student but he was clearly his henchman.

Daniel's status in the Life Soul Grade Demon Tribe was undeniably grand because of his talent, just like Clouse Nightmare of Nightmare Grand Demon Tribe.

They both had no contenders in their generation and were considered the future lords of their clans.

However, because of Archie's unexpected appearance, Daniel might have had a competitor if he got the same status as him.

Unless Daniel was the Grand Demon Duke himself, he couldn't do anything about it officially because it was a rule of the demon race that anyone could fight for higher positions and titles as long as it was fair.

That's why Daniel now felt threatened by Archie's sudden appearance, so he wanted to make sure he was a threat to him.

"Where is he?" Daniel coldly questioned.

The other demon replied timidly, "I don't know, but he's not responding to our invitations sent to his quarters."

A cold glint flashed past Daniel's eyes. "Just because he entered the special class, he thinks he can ignore me as he wishes?" His voice was laced with killing intent.

"Heh, he's not in the mansion to answer your invitation." An aged voice sounded at this moment, startling both Daniel and the other demon.

However, Daniel quickly recognized this voice as his expression went somewhat paled, and quickly blurted, "Greeting, Master."

Thereupon, Ampersand walked in with a mild smile on his face while his hands were behind his back.

"Leave." He merely commanded without even looking at the kneeling demon who was about to greet him.

The demon fluttered slightly before he quickly fled, didn't dare to say a word.

"Master, let me explain…" Daniel wanted to say something before Ampersand cut him short.

"How does your annual assessment go?" He asked smilingly.

Daniel calmed himself down and quickly replied, "I have cleared it in one-week master, I didn't disappoint you."

Ampersand nodded, "I expect nothing less. But why I'm seeing chaos in your eyes? Didn't I teach you to never lose your calm, or just a simple wave was enough to shake you?"

Daniel knew he had messed up and kept his head low. "I indeed let you down."

Ampersand chuckled, "No, it's not about letting me down, but you let yourself down by feeling apprehension from a cold gust of wind. Your mind still hadn't reached the state of soul tranquility. Spend two weeks in the level 5 soul ice piercing maze to cover this flaw."

"I'll do it right away." Daniel instantly agreed.

"As for Archie, you didn't need to bother yourself with him. Consider him a storm who will soon die down. Just focus on your cultivation or the secret cultivation art will have a backlash on you with these kinds of emotions." Finishing saying his ambiguous words, Ampersand vanished before dumbfounded Daniel's eyes.

Daniel remained stunned for a while before his eyes gleamed with elation. 'So, Master had already taken care of that pest Archie before I even have to lift a finger?'

A wintry smile broke out on his lips. 'You should only blame yourself for getting in my way!'

The Forbidden Plains of Mighty Demon Tamer Province,

The new build auction arena by the Life Demon Association was completely empty at this moment.

In the underground passage, where the auction treasury was, four figures emerged in front of a wall where a large owl symbol was imprinted with words in its wings.

"I have to say, it's quite the sight." One of the devil envoys said jeeringly, at this moment while closely looking at the thief symbol.

This group was none other than the two devil envoys who came to lend a hand and two elder demons of the Imperial Council.

In the end, the deal between the Devils and Demons was finalized, with Demons accepting the Devil's terms.

So, now they were here to find traces of the elusive thief that demons failed to find.

But these two devils were sure they will be able to do it!
