Chapter 313: Part 3

Chapter 314:

Candlelight: Part 3

Lin Sheng slowly made his way into the room, and before the monsters could charge at him again, he closed the door behind him.

*Clack.*

As the door locked, the roar seemed to have been isolated outside. Within the wide, warm room was a table with a candle stand on it, and by it was a pale noble lady with golden hair.

The noble lady’s eyes were bright, as she sat up proper with her hands on her legs. Her back was straight as she looked at Lin Sheng making his way in.

She then suddenly lifted her hand, and gently pulled the zipper of her purple gown down.

*Zippp!*

The noble lady suddenly split into two as a large amount of grey mist spat out of her flesh.

The mist swirled about as it converged into a ram-headed monster a couple of meters tall and charged towards Lin Sheng.

At that moment, the holy light radiated brightly and turned the entire room white. Lin Sheng lifted his arm as a powerful light radiated from his palm, readying himself to receive the charging mist monster.

The mist ram-headed monster shuddered violently as runic lines appeared all over its body as it seemingly tried to fight against the holy light.

*Hah!*

Lin Sheng swung his other hand, and the dark power-enhanced hand blade blasted out a sonic boom and split the monster into two.

Following that was the surge of holy light that thoroughly purified it.

As the grey mist dissipated, the lady on the seat quickly shriveled as if all moisture was drained out of her body and turned into a desiccated corpse as she felt onto the ground.

Lin Sheng then calmly made his way to the candle stand on the table.

*Whoof!!*

Suddenly countless of dark tentacles appeared out of all the shadows in the room. At least ten tentacles swiftly bound Lin Sheng all over his body.

*Hummm!!*

Golden dragon scales appeared on Lin Sheng’s face as his eyes lit up in gold.

*Bam!!*

All of the tentacles were broken by the brute force of his Crag Dragon blood as a painful scream could be faintly heard from the darkness.

Lin Sheng did not dither as he walked to the table and held his hand out to grab the candle stand. A blurry yet familiar image appeared and disappeared amidst the candlelight. A powerful resistance could be felt from the dim candlelight as if trying to push back against Lin Sheng’s hold.

“Meaningless.”

Lin Sheng simply grabbed it.

*Bam!!*

With the powerful force of the holy power, all of the illusions blew up and faded away.

Lin Sheng held the dark gold candle stand with his hand and pulled it up.

He was no longer that weakling from yore. With his holy power now at Level 10, he would have been an elite anywhere he went, not to mention he still had his Crag Dragon blood and dark powers to boot.

The moment Lin Sheng touched the candle stand, another howl of pain roared among the shadows as countless hidden perils receded like the tide as calm returned.

Lin Sheng then took a good look at the candle stand.

It was of simple design, but he had no idea what the dark gold material was, its shape was like three coiling branches spiraling upwards to hold on to the candles.

A white candle the size of an egg was lit up in yellow flames. Lin Sheng looked at the candle flame for a bit before suddenly putting his hand into the fire.

“There’s no heat,” he said as he pulled his hand out.

After studying it for a while, he found nothing special with the candle stand, and the candle was just a normal one as well.

He then took the candle stand with him as he circled around the room and found nothing else.

At that same moment, the faint ticking of the clock was heard.

“I’m gonna wake up soon…” Lin Sheng took the candle stand back to the table, and tossed the desiccated noble lady’s corpse away, and pulled another chair over to sit on.

*Tick tock, tick tock.*

The ticking of the clock was getting louder and louder as his sight started to blur, and his body felt it like it was falling.

*Clack.*

Something seemed to have fallen onto the ground as Lin Sheng opened his eyes and got up from the sofa.

The television was still on, and on it was a rice cooker advertisement. A gorgeous blonde lady in a red dress was holding a rice cooker in all smiles.

As if one could take her home after buying that rice cooker.

The room was still tightly locked, and there were no signs of it being opened.

White light could be seen through the seams of the curtain.

“It’s already bright…” Lin Sheng looked down at the remote control on the ground.

He could hear the voices of his team members along the corridor, talking about some strategies for clearing a game.

Lin Sheng shook his head as he got up and went to wash up before changing his clothes.

He did not manage to get anything of note from the dream last night aside from a candle stand of unknown use. And just as he wanted to properly study it, the dream had ended.

“But compared with me just running like a sorry lot, again and again, most dreams now are no longer too much of trouble,” he said as he recalled the sensation of using three powers at the same time in his dream.

Ever since the upgrade to his abilities, this was the first time he had gone into proper combat to unleash his power.

Every monster there was like a Two-winged Transcendent, and he had killed at least a hundred of them, all of them Violence-type Two-wingers.

*Bam bam bam!*

Suddenly, someone was knocking frantically on his door.

“Captain! Wake up!”

Melissa was shouting outside the door.

Lin Sheng quickly went to open the door and saw Melissa, Bella, and another male team member standing there, with beads of sweat on their foreheads, seemingly agitated.

“There’s trouble, captain! There are teams from other academies here now! Trying to steal our jobs!” Melissa quickly said.

“Other academies?” Lin Sheng was dumbstruck. This was an area near Baine University, the main campus of the school. And people from other schools actually dared to send their teams in too?

“Let’s have a look.”

The few quickly packed up and brought on a couple more available members inside the manor along. With one of the team members in lead, they quickly came to the Bureau of Defense.

And as expected, there was a black jeep with a foreign car plate in front of the department, and inside it was two short-haired girls.

The moment their arrival was spotted, two people walked out of the bureau, one tall, one short, one male, one female, towards Lin Sheng.

The two wore camouflage uniforms meant for operations, with only the insignia of Foy University on their chest.

“Foy University?” Melissa frowned. “That’s like about hundreds of kilometers away, why are they here?”

“Not only them.” Bella looked to the far right.

There were all sorts of cars stopped there, each and every one of them bore car plates of other states.

“We’ve never seen these cars before,” Bella whispered. “Seems like the news of the Paragon of Destiny had been leaked out.”

“What should we do, captain?” Melissa asked, her voice hushed.

Lin Sheng calmly looked at the two people who had just come out of the building.

“Ignore them for the moment. If they are looking for the paragon, that’s their problem. We only need to complete the mission given out by the academy, and ignore the rest.”

“Should we inform the academy?” Melissa was hesitant.

“No need, if they are already here in broad daylight; that means they should have already known.” Lin Sheng was calm.

“That aside, if these people dared to show up even when an Oppressor class teacher is around, you really think they are just normal students?

The three jolted back as they understood what Lin Sheng meant.

“Then what should we do?” Melissa was a little excited.

“Don’t bother. It seems like the Paragon of Destiny is about to manifest,” Lin Sheng added nonchalantly.

He had no care for what the paragon was. As long as it did not affect him, he did not have to pay it any mind.
