Chapter 129: Disciple

"Just what is it that you want from me, Lionel?!" Aimon said as he stood up!

His left eye was basically bulging out of its sockets as Aimon looked at Lionel intently.

After all, he couldn't think of anything that could possibly come equal to what Lionel offered him!

At least, that's what Aimon thought.

However, it seems that Lionel thought otherwise as he finally spoke.

"Do you remember what you told me the last time we met?"

"Hmm? I told you many things the last time we met, so there's no way I would remember many things."

Aimon said as he looked at Lionel. Of course, he wouldn't remember things he said that were from years ago.

Although Aimon knew what their topics were, he wouldn't remember every single detail. After all, even though Aimon was strong, he was also old.

He was very old that even his skin looked like it was about to give up on him.

After all, his body was just full of wrinkles, don't even mention his face.

It was only normal that Aimon would have some memory lapses here and there.

"It's about that. The thing that I need is..."

Lionel trailed off his words as he knew that what he was about to ask was big.

Of course, even Aimon could feel it as his throat gulped some of his saliva.

After all, Lionel was basically teasing him about it now that he was taking his time.

It was then that Lionel finally continued his sentence as he looked at Aimon with resolute eyes.

"I need the acupuncture technique of the Phantom Hands."

"I need the Divine Sharpness of the Ghost Needles!"

And when Aimon heard that, he shouted as he opened his mouth as wide as possible!

"IMPOSSIBLE!"

Aimon said as his hands started to shine with balls of light! It was as if he were ready to fight against Lionel right this instant!

"You know that I don't perform that technique anymore! How dare you ask me for it?!"

Aimon said as the woods in the house started to crack up and rise in the air!

It was as if Aimon's powers were just going out of control, and that was not all that happened!

Aimon's right eye started to shine even though he hasn't even opened the curtain known as the eyelids!

That was how much he was angered by what Lionel just asked!

After all, the Divine Sharpness of the Ghost Needles was a technique that Aimon promised to himself to never use it again.

However, Lionel just asked for it! Even though there were advantages in this exchange, there's no way Aimon would accept it!

What's more, Lionel knew why Aimon was not using the Divine Sharpness of the Ghost Needles anymore!

That was why Aimon could not forgive how Lionel asked for it even though he knew the reason why!

And that was why...with the balls of light in his hand, Aimon attacked Lionel by letting the balls of light flow towards Lionel!

"Even if you're Lionel, I won't forgive you!" Aimon said as his body started to turn into the mist!

It was strange, but Lionel didn't think that it was strange. After all, what was the nickname of Aimon?

It was Phantom Hands, and the reason for that nickname is exactly that!

After all, he was like a phantom whenever he fights! And the fact that he was turning into a phantom right now means that he plans to duke it out with Lionel!

However, all those powers that Aimon released soon stopped as Lionel spoke.

"It's for my disciple."

The balls of light that were about to collide with Lionel's body stopped right before hitting him! It was truly by a hair's breadth.

However, that was not all that stopped as even Aimon stopped creating more balls of light!

Even his right eye that was about to open stopped shining!

Of course, even the phantomization of Aimon's body stopped as his body returned back to normal!

Why? It was simple.

What Lionel said was that shocking for Aimon, who was ready to kill him!

Aimon literally stopped everything he was doing when he heard what Lionel said.

And what Aimon said right after getting a grip of himself was...

"Huh?"

Right, that was all that Aimon could say in this situation. It was as if he were never angry in the first place!

That was how Aimon looked like right now, and of course, he looked dumbfounded.

After all, he just went from full power to nothing!

It was then that Lionel finally continued speaking as he let out a sigh.

"Haaa."

"I know it's shocking. However, hear me out."

"I have a disciple now, and I want you to use the Divine Sharpness of the Ghost Needles on him."

"I want him to reach a plane higher than me."

Lionel said as he looked at Aimon who was just staring at him dumbfoundedly.

"Is that enough for you to use it again?"

And when Aimon heard that, he tilted his head as he spoke once more.

"Huh? Y-you...you have a disciple?!"

"You fucking pussycat! You're not kidding me, are you?!"

"You! I know you have a daughter! Don't tell me that you consider your daughter as your disciple!"

Aimon knew that it was just impossible for Lionel to have a disciple. That was why he was thinking that it was probably for his daughter.

However, of course, that was not the truth and Lionel proved it by speaking once more.

"No, it's not my daughter. I have a real disciple. Of course, he hasn't started to walk the path of the Way yet."

"However, he needs to walk the path of the Way."

Lionel then stopped talking as he turned his head towards Aimon.

After all, Aimon was still shocked about it. That was how surprising it was for Aimon.

"You might ask why, and the reason is something you know very well."

"He is like me."

"A human who could get stronger with Magic Infusion."
