From Wanderer To World Conqueror

Now, all eyes shone with disbelief. There was no such case where the newcomer surpassed the limit of the low grade orb. Usually, only the seniors would use middle grade orbs during their power measurement tests. Soon, the instructor came in with the middle grade orb and placed it before Attorias. His eyes shone with demonic red light and more crack appeared on the ground around the orb. He sent a punch towards the orb with all his might. This time, the orb functioned properly and clearly showed the numbers. 850!

Then turned heels and started walking towards Ramiris who stood beside the level 9 frightened youth. A sudden surprise happened behind their backs as they were about to leave. Another 17 years old boy showed his shocking talent with a power of 665. His appearance was very pleasing to the eyes. Long dark hair and golden eyes. His bloodline was an Ancient bloodline and Attorias felt like he saw something weird emanating from the body of this youth. The mysterious boy turned towards Attorias and almost impaled him with his golden eyes. His looks didn't lost against Attorias either. Then he started speaking.

"Attorias, I want to challenge you to a duel."

"Why?"

Attorias pretended the uninterested. The youth before him was a treasure. Attorias wanted to turn him into his first companion. Unlike the merchants who followed his orders. He needed someone who can help him behind his back. Someone who is reliable and capable. Thus, he decided to get a duel where he can "recruit" this boy.

"Why should I duel with you? What's the benefit from this?"

The dark haired boy rubbed his hands while tried to figure out something to convince Attorias. This meant that exactly everything went as he planned. Soon, the dark haired boy figured out something.

"You can do anything with me if I lose, however you need to do something for me if I win. This is alright?"

"Yes, we can go to the arena and begin immediately."

The other newcomers rushed out of the test site towards the arena. The news reached the principal who excitedly walked towards the arena. That was not a surprise since the two most outstanding newcomers in the academy was about to fight against each other. Even the senior students wanted to see the fight.

Soon, the arena was filled with students and teachers. It was a single fight decided on a whim, while the newcomers took their power measurement exams. Yet, the whole thing turned into an event where students started to bet on who will win. Even teachers participated in the betting. The two top newcomer came in after a few minutes of excited waiting. Attorias was curious. Thus, he decided to ask a few things.

"You don't mind if I ask you some questions before we start right?"

"Suit yourself." The black hair youth calmly replied.

"I want to know two things. The first is your name. The second is your bloodline. I felt a familiar power within you, when you punched that orb on the exam."

"My name is Tarot. As for my bloodline... It's shadowlord. One of the Ancient God bloodlines. You asked your questions. Now it's my turn to ask a question."

"Ask anything."

"I want to know your bloodline. I have never seen such a powerful bloodline in my life. Although, I only lived just 17 years for now.

You also said that my power is familiar. This means that your bloodline is one of the Ancient God bloodlines."

"Listen closely because you are the only one who will hear this. I can't tell you my bloodline for now due to various reasons. As for the other question. You can believe it or not, my bloodline is a step above Ancient God bloodlines."

A step above? That was almost impossible. The strongest bloodline was an Ancient God bloodline. They never heard of something stronger than that. Only if two Gods made a children but that was forbidden. Thus, then strongest bloodline was an Ancient God bloodline for billions of years. Tarot's heart skipped a beat when he heard the reply. He was not sure why but he felt like that it was no joke when Attorias replied.

"Okay, I believe you."

Now it was Attorias turn to be surprised. He thought that Tarot would take the truth about his bloodline as a joke. Never did he expect that Tarot would believe him. Or he just said those words but actually didn't really thought that it was true? Actually it was not important. It was already good enough to make Attorias surprised. In the next seconds, silence enshrouded the arena when the judge walked in. He stood between the two youths then announced the beginning of the duel.

"I hereby declare the beginning of the duel between Attorias and Tarot.As per the rules, killing each other is accepted. You can surrender anytime during the duel. Surrendering results in immediate defeat. Thus, the duel can start."

The two boys immediately released their aura. Tarot eyes shone with golden light. His body was enshrouded with dark fog and a black hammer appeared in his hands. Attorias summoned his long Scythe. The force within the Scythe was way stronger compared to the hammer. Tarot clearly felt the difference between bloodlines but he still wanted to fight. Attorias turned into a blur then appeared behind Tarot. He felt the presence behind his back and immediately swung his hammer around his body. Attorias blocked and jumped back. Seems like Tarot was a natural talent when in came to fighting.

Now Tarot jumped towards Attorias and threw his hammer towards him. Attorias grabbed it in the air and he was about to smash Tarot with his own hammer. The hammer vanished from his hands and Tarot condensed it again in his own hands. It was truly a genius tactic. He threw his hammer on purpose to made a blind spot. Thus, he sent Attorias flying with his hammer. Tarot was already shot towards him but found nothing on the ground.

"How can this happen? Where did you go?"

Suddenly in the next instant, The blade of a scythe condensed around his neck. Tarot turned back and saw Attorias with a smile on his face. He realized that the he smashed a clone condensed by fog and the real Attorias was always behind the clone. He smashed the clone which turned into fog and the real Attorias got enough time to assault Tarot.

"You lost."

"Huh, Seems like that's the case... I admit defeat. Tell me your what you want and I help you as long as I can."

"Then, I want you to be my companion. Someone who can stand beside me and act as my representative. Someone who can help me and someone who can stand as my equal. I want you to be a pillar. Can I count on you?"
