9 THRONES

CHAPTER 117: THE SWORD OF MONSTERS

Horge hesitated for a moment, he moved his hand to hold the Sword Monster, but he immediately pulled his hand again as he could sense something terrifying behind this sword.

Seeing Horge's hesitation, Poris' eyes turned cold.

He took his sword back before standing in anger "Alright, since you don't trust me anymore, then I don't need to help you! You think I'm planning on doing something bad to you? Though the Sword Monster is a very precious treasure, it is not easy for me to obtain it. I was planning to use the Monster Sword for myself, but seeing that you are having a hard time, I thought of giving it to you. Instead of thanking me, you even doubted me! It seems that helping people like you is useless, just a waste of time and treasure I've been giving you all along! We'll see if you can defeat Vann using your own power!".

Seeing Poris who was planning to leave, Horge chased after him and grabbed the Monster Sword full of panic "Sister Poris, I don't mean to doubt you. I only felt a little fear towards Sword Monsters, I felt a terrifying aura emanating from this sword!".

Poris smiled silently, but he did not show it to Horge but remained angry "So how? Are you planning on using it or not? If you're afraid, then I don't have to bother giving you a precious treasure like the Sword Monsters! If it wasn't for me considering you as my own sister, I would definitely not have given away such a precious treasure as the Sword Monsters!".

"I'll use it, I believe Kak Poris must be trying to help me without any bad purpose" said Horge immediately picked up the sword with a big smile.

Poris slightly nodded, the anger on his face slowly disappearing as if his anger had been real "You must not regret it! From tomorrow, Vann will definitely lose against you, even you have a chance to return to the rank 9 strongest elite disciple of the Wood Sword Academy! As long as the Sword Monsters help you, you can rest assured!".

"Thank you, Brother Poris! I definitely did not disappoint you and repay all the kindness you have given me all this time" Horge said gratefully.

Poris nodded kindly "Don't worry, you won't have to repay me for doing so!".

Horge was confused by Poris' last words, but he did not think much because he suddenly felt the flow of power from the Sword Monster heading towards him.

Sensing a huge flow of strength, Horge smiled happily. As long as he had the help of the Sword Monsters, he would definitely be able to defeat Vann.

...----------------...

At the top of the mountain of the Wood Sword Academy, the current head of the academy, Tardi, was standing there with the silver mask teacher and another teacher.

In the middle of the room, there was the corpse of a person in black robes and lost 1 hand, this corpse was none other than the assassin that the silver mask master had defeated.

The teacher who was a doctor at the academy hospital and the person who treated Yun Tian examined the corpse of the assassin before explaining "There is no doubt that his death was due to a wound in his heart that had a silver aura, he was indeed the defeated assassin this afternoon!".

Tardi nodded as he examined the corpse carefully, especially opening his robe in order to see the killer's face clearly.

Seeing the killer's face, Tardi's face changed. Not only Tardi, even the silver mask teacher and the doctor teacher had a gloomy face because half of the face of this killer was the face of a monster. Although they do not know what monster is half of his face, Tardi concluded that the killer is a human who tries to strengthen himself using monsters.

"Is it the Monster Laboratory?" said Tardi hesitantly because in Talper Province, this name is all he can think of as a force that dares to research about harnessing the power of monsters to strengthen human cultivators.

The reason humans who tried to join monsters generally lost most of their lives, meaning their lifespan became short.

Not stopping there, half-monster humans often spiral out of control and lose their own minds causing those around them to be killed.

Not to mention that there was a possibility of a half-monster impact on their bodies, a half-monster human could be controlled by a pillar holder who was the ruler of a monster.

Therefore, almost all the research utilizing the power of monsters in the human body had been destroyed.

Even if they still exist, they are generally just a hiding power, afraid to attract the attention of the Emperor or the throne holder again.

The silver mask teacher said doubtfully "Academy head, what should we do now?".

Tardi thought for a while "For now, this matter should be kept secret. You can tell the teachers I brought along, and let Githa, Hasel and Gostaf be prepared. The arrival of the half-monster humans in the Wood Sword Academy is not a good sign, there is a chance that they are targeting us".

"Okay, academy head!", replied the 2 teachers who were planning to leave.

Tardi suddenly remembered something and stopped the silver mask teacher "Wait a minute, didn't he try to kill the boy named Vann? You must strengthen your guard against Vann, if necessary, you can seek help from other teachers. Based on Vann's fight all along, he proved himself to be the one who said. If we lose Vann, it must be a heavy loss for the Wood Sword Academy! Then just in case, let the other teachers keep an eye on Horge! Of all the people, most likely he was the one behind the murder".

"Alright!", replied the silver mask teacher who went with another teacher.

Tardi continued to stare at the corpse with a gloomy face "This time the center really gave me a very difficult task! If my task was only to develop the Wood Sword Academy, I would definitely be able to solve it without any problems. But it seems that there is another matter here as well, maybe I should use all of my abilities as long as the enemy dares to attack!".

...----------------...

Vann who was the center of everyone's attention, even all the disciples in the Wood Sword Academy were busy talking about him with the powerful water ball spirit, they were also talking about Vann's killing today which was almost successful.

But the person who was the center of everyone's conversation was in his own home, he stared at the pile of cultivation resource treasures he won today with shining eyes.

Vann had to admit, the new rules made by Tardi did bring chaos to the Wood Sword Academy, but the new rules made by Tardi also brought great advantages for those who continued to win against existing enemies.

Among all people, Vann is an example of the people who benefit the most.
