Chapter 105: The Bone Lord

“Are you sure we should leave? What if the president sees us?”

“Don’t worry, no one will patrol today. Harmony was in charge, but I gave her a tea that sent her to sweet dreams.”

“You attacked a teacher? Are you insane?”

“Shut up. She will not find out the truth. Now, you want to be worthy of the wolf king or not?”

The other student stopped talking, and they left the dorm. Arthur saw all of that from a tree as he was disguised as an owl.

[Shape-shifting (Tier 2): Change the appearance of the caster to any type of creature. Bigger creatures require more mana.]

[Cost: ?]

It was one spell he focused on learning, and it paid out. The invisibility spell drained his mana per second, while the shape-shifting did not.

People would never suspect an owl, especially during night-time. Arthur kept his eyes on these three students and followed them through the woods.

“Wolf king? That has to be the werewolf.”

Arthur did not know what these students wanted. Worthy of the wolf king? Were they creating a cult of werewolves? He hoped to find all those questions that night.

“This is where he lives? But there’s nothing here.”

“It is an illusion array, you idiot.”

The student moved an ordinary stone, and the illusion vanished. An entrance could be seen on a hill, an entrance that was not there before.

“That is why I never found it.” Arthur thought.

An owl entering inside a cave would be strange, so he changed his appearance to that of a small spider, and sneaked in, following the students.

It was an ordinary cave, but the smell wasn’t. A scent of rotten apples, no, a scent of rotten food.

Arthur kept going, moving his 8 small legs through the rock ground of the cave. The student that was leading was eager to meet this so-called wolf king, but the other 2 were apprehensive.

“Don’t be scared. If you believe in him, he will grant you power.”

These two students were old ones, even before Arthur arrived and became the president. Their talent was mediocre, and even after all these months, they did little progress. Until someone came looking for them, saying that he sensed they had a talent for other things, such as dark magic.

?[0)??? The mysterious person promised everything they ever wanted: power. At first, they feared Arthur or one teacher finding out, but as the other students kept progressing, and they didn’t, the feeling of impotence grew.

Another student that was also in their situation accepted the offer, and worshipped the same entity the wolf king did. In a matter of days, his magical practice got better, and he overcame the stagnant state.

Jealous? Eager of power? The two students did not wish to be left behind, watching all the others rise and fly to great heights.

When the three students reached the end of the cave, four more were waiting for them. Out of these four, Arthur knew one of them.

“She’s here?”

It was the girl that took the entrance test with him, Theo, and Kai back then. She had a wonderful talent for magic, so why was she there?

All the students reunited around a huge campfire, and then someone else walked over. Based on the body structure, it was a man, but Arthur couldn’t see the face as the man wore a wolf’s head.

“Wolf king.” They said, bowing to him.

Arthur gazed at that person, and couldn’t see the level. It was not as if the person was too strong, but something else.

“He is hiding his level from me. How? Did he do this or is it someone else?”

Even though the werewolf was right in front of him, Arthur did not act. He was a predator, waiting for the right moment to strike.

“Is he truly here today? The Bone Lord?”

“Shh, don’t say his name, only if he gives permission to you.”

“I’m sorry, but is he here?”

“Of course. You are all new members, so obviously he would show up.”

Another name, the Bone Lord. It was a good thing Arthur did not strike first and waited for the opportunity. Now he knew the werewolf was not behind all of it, but someone else.

He had never heard that name before, even after spending a lot of time on the island. Based on the way they were talking, this Bone Lord was someone strong, yet no one strong had gone to the island, unless…

“Matilda? Now that I think of, I’m not seeing her that much.”

Out of a sudden, someone came out from the walls of the cave, as if it was passing by it. A tall skeleton that wore a long, dark robe and wielded a golden scepter.

“You humans are so stupid that allowed someone to follow you.”

The bone lord gazed at Arthur, who was as a spider. Arthur knew he had been found, and seeing how strong the skeleton was, he wanted to leave, but couldn’t.

“Did you try to use a teleport? Are you like her?”

Arthur returned to his human form, but he could not move or cast any spells. Even his dragon skills were locked by that strange skeleton.

“President?” The students were shocked, and more scared now that their president had been caught.

“What are you doing here?” The skeleton said.

“I just wanted a fresh air, you know?”

The skeleton moved its scepter, and Arthur was sending flying towards the cave’s walls. He couldn’t move, and then a bone spear came flying, piercing his abdomen.

“Ahhh mother fucker!”

Blood was dripping from the wound. Arthur thought his dragon healing would help, but the spear was not common, and the bleeding did not stop and only got worse.

“I’ll kill you now, and then take over all the students you are so proud of, and turn this place into my kingdom.”

It slowly walked towards Arthur, who could do nothing but to wait for the eminent death.
