Chapter 373 Chapter-373

Jeffery's lifeless body grabbed Anon's hand, and it started vibrating.

"Huh...? Are you still al��" Before Anon could say anything, Jeffery threw Anon away with just one hand.

Anon immediately regained his balance in mid-air and safely landed on the ground. Upon landing, he noticed that Jeffery was standing up again, but something was terribly wrong with him.

Jeffery's body emitted a white aura, and his skin had turned a pallid white, with blackened lips. His appearance was worse than that of a corpse.

"What the heck happened to him?"

"What was in that pill?"

"I heard it was a banned pill given by Mr. Xander."

"Where did you hear that?"

"Mr. Ion was yelling at his son; he mentioned it."

The students exchanged comments as they observed the strange transformation in Jeffery's body.

"Let's see what's changed in your body, Mr. Jeffery," Anon said as he used his skill to examine Jeffery.

[Name: &�̦�+!?-]

[Race: (+++??)]

[Class: +(//_() ]

[MP: /+/+/]

"What the heck... Ahhhhh... my head hurts," Anon exclaimed.

As soon as Anon examined Jeffery's status, he experienced a sharp headache.

'Ouch... What's wrong with him?' Anon thought as he hastily closed Jeffery's status and scrutinized him.

Jeffery appeared like a lifeless body, slowly opening his eyes, which were pitch-black like a demon's.

Anon was astonished by this transformation and began to take the situation more seriously. He summoned his sickles and assumed a defensive stance.

Gradually, Jeffery's body began to levitate in the air.

"Hey, that's cheating. Flying isn't allowed," Anon protested as he watched Jeffery ascend into the sky.

"Oh no, it's that skill," Ion muttered as he saw Jeffery's body rise into the clouds and come to a stop in mid-air.

When Jeffery heard Anon's voice, he looked down and smiled at him, revealing monstrous, pitch-black teeth.

"Hello, friend," Anon greeted with an odd smile.

Jeffery began descending rapidly, aiming directly for Anon.

"Ah, darn it," Anon muttered as he sidestepped, but Jeffery altered his trajectory to follow him.

His speed increased as he plummeted from the sky, resembling a shooting star wreathed in flames, hurtling toward Anon with tremendous force.

[Your opponent has used the skill (Evening Star)]

[The Evening Star]

[The Evening Star is a forbidden and enigmatic skill shrouded in the annals of elven history. Reserved exclusively for those rare Mana Awakened elves, it stands as a chilling testament to the extremes to which power can be harnessed. When invoking the Evening Star, the user willingly surrenders themselves to the embrace of darkness, allowing it to inexorably drain their life force to its very depths.

This eerie skill, once initiated, defies any attempt at cancellation or reversion. It's an irreversible pact between the elf and the consuming abyss. In exchange for the sacrifice, the Evening Star bestows a single, potent wish upon its wielder. This wish, regardless of its nature, is granted with otherworldly precision.

However, the price of this unholy communion is absolute. Once the wish is fulfilled, the darkness, having quenched its thirst for life force, envelops the user entirely. It's a grim and inevitable conclusion, a testament to the unforgiving nature of the Evening Star. It remains a dark and mysterious chapter in elven lore, serving as a somber reminder of the dire consequences that can accompany the pursuit of ultimate power.]

[Warning: If the wish is not completed, the user's body will still be consumed by Darkness.]

As Jeffery approached Anon, his bloodlust intensified. The pressure on Anon's body grew unbearable.

'Okay, I can still take him on if I just-' Before he could've thought anything else the pressure on his body grew up to the double intensity of what it was just a moment ago and this phenomenon repeated itself as Jeffery closed his distance between him and Anon.

"Fuck... I can't defeat him... I have to OverCharge��" Before Anon could finish his sentence, he noticed the pressure on his body gradually decreasing. He turned and saw Ion standing directly behind him.

"Get out of the way, kid, if you want to live," Ion ordered.

[Master, he's right. You can't withstand a single blow from that thing.] Link advised.

Anon quickly stepped aside and observed Ion closely.

Suddenly, Ion's body emitted a profound and powerful aura. He let go of his cane, assuming a defensive stance.

"Gwaaahhhhhhhhhhh...." Jeffery emitted a chilling sound as he attacked Ion.

As soon as their bodies made contact, a massive explosion occurred, enveloping the entire arena in a cloud of dust.

Boooom

A powerful wave of aura emanated from the stadium as the collision took place.

Cough-Cough

Everyone in the vicinity coughed as they tried to peer through the dust-filled arena.

After a moment, the dust began to settle, and onlookers observed the center of the arena.

Blood trickled from Ion's mouth, and he had a hole in his right shoulder.

"Drat... he's injured. He can't withstand another attack," Anon stated as he started walking toward Ion. However, when the dust finally cleared, he saw Ion holding Jeffery's head in his right hand.

Anon was stunned to his core upon witnessing this scene. He couldn't kill Jeffery in a single exchange, yet Ion had accomplished it.

"Father... are you okay?" Xander shouted as he ran toward Ion.

Ion halted him by raising his hand.

"B-But, Father..."

"Stay right there," Ion instructed firmly. He then walked toward Anon.

'Why is he coming over here?' Anon wondered, confused by Ion's actions.

"Boy, use that locket on me," Ion said, pointing at Anon's troll locket.

"Y-Yes..." Anon was surprised that Ion knew about the locket but didn't question him. He removed the locket and touched it to Ion's body.

Ion's body began to heal, although the process was slow.

"Huh... I think this locket is broken," Anon remarked as he removed the locket from Ion's body and touched it again, but the healing rate remained the same.

"Don't worry, boy. This thing works slowly on Awakened individuals, but it's a valuable asset to have," Ion said, smiling at Anon.
