9 THRONES

CHAPTER 121: THE FAILED EXPERIMENT

Everyone around the arena was shocked, not only the students but the teacher did not understand what was going on here.

Some of the disciples who found the eyes and mouth on Horge's sword immediately became frightened, especially the mouth on the sword had a lot of canines that were chewing Horge's body like food.

"Let go! Release him! No, stop! It's sick! Somebody, help me! Brother Poris, help me!", cried Horge frantically, he kept hitting the Sword Monsters who tried to eat his body but no matter what Horge did, the Sword Monsters never let go of his bite.

Hearing Horge's cry, all the teachers around regained their senses.

They started to move forward, ready to help Horge. Although they don't know what's really going on here, their job is to help a student who looks almost dead like Horge now. They felt that if the sword in Horge's hand continued to be left, the sword would definitely eat Horge's entire body.

But before everyone could get close to Horge, a loud shout sounded "Everybody stay in place, no one comes near Horge!".

All the teachers stopped their steps and gazed towards the sky, where Tardi slashed closer using his flying sword "Since the beginning a boy named Horge has tried to deceive us, he uses a strange sword to defeat his opponent. But Horge never thought, the sword he used to defeat his enemy ate himself. Ever since he brought the strange sword to the match, he should be prepared to accept the risk as well. Now whether he was able to survive the sword force that Horge brought, it all depended on his own determination and strength".

Hearing Tardi's explanation, the teachers around felt it was true. However Horge brought his own sword to the match, he hid the existence of the Sword Monsters from the committee. Therefore, Horge must be prepared to accept the risk as well.

Tardi who was above the sky silently smiled, he muttered "Very interesting, is all this a monster plan or a human researching monsters? No matter who it was, as long as I managed to catch the real culprit, I would definitely rise in office again. Besides, I wonder how far the Sword Monsters are able to increase one's strength".

After seeing firsthand Horge's change, Tardi immediately recalled the matter of the Monster Sword he had forgotten about.

But Tardi knew, a small Gold Core like Horge was definitely not the one who made the Sword Monsters. So the main reason Tardi let Horge be eaten by the sword was to attract the real culprit who gave the sword to Horge. As long as he managed to capture the real culprit behind all the Sword Monsters, he would get another award from the center.

While the other goal was Tardi trying to figure out how effective the Sword Monsters were. Based on the meeting some time ago, they only told Sword Monsters that they could increase the power of their users in exchange for life.

Users would turn into monsters and lose their minds, not much different from dying.

The problem was that they did not have any definite information as to how much power the Monster Sword was capable of, therefore Tardi was now trying to assess the Monster Sword directly.

Seeing no one coming to help him, Horge looked at Vann.

The trace of arrogance as well as hostility had long disappeared from his face, what was behind Horge's eyes was only the sadness as well as the pain that he had to endure "Help me, this really hurts! I don't expect you to help rid my body of monsters, after all we're hostile to each other. But give me a little of your kindness and kill me, I can no longer bear the pain-Aaaaa!".

Horge's body swirled on the ground, he was unable to endure the pain anymore.

Vann was confused between having to help or not, but a Vermilion Bird voice was heard which advised Vann not to approach Horge. If Vann approaches Horge, there is a possibility that Sword Monster will make Vann his target because there is a holy artifact spirit in Vann's body.

Slowly the aura of darkness around Horge became more and more powerful, his body opened and giant black hands and feet emerged from Horge's small body.

5 minutes later, Horge's shout disappeared and was replaced by a giant figure 5 meters tall.

Across the black giant body, there were countless eyes and mouths that could number in the hundreds to thousands.

The giant monster walked on 8 legs, all his hands even used to be feet that look very strange.

Most of the disciples had already fled, they were frightened by Horge's change into a monster, even some who saw him vomit because Horge's change was too bloody.

"Graaaaa!", the monster shouted loudly from the hundreds of mouths that were all over his body, he stared at everyone around him then the monster's eyes fell towards Vann.

After all, of all the people around, Vann was the weakest person compared to the teachers who surrounded him.

He looked at Vann as if he was observing his prey.

Tardi who was above the sky was still not worried about the appearance of monsters but rather he muttered again "His strength instantly increased to a level 1 Soul Wandering, he said, although he was only a few minutes old because Tardi's life energy continued to be sucked by monsters quickly. Although it was short, but the increase in strength from a tier 4 Gold Core to a tier 1 Soul Wandering remained terrifying! Who exactly made this Monster Sword? When the manufacture is human, it really brings trouble!".

When Tardi was busy talking, Poris who was in the distance had long since gone from the arena.

Staring at the document in his hand which was his artificial record of Horge's transformation into a monster, Poris shook his head in disappointment "The experiment failed, the experiment failed, it seemed that the monster energy on the sword was too strong which made Horge unable to resist it to the point of making his entire body a monster. I have to tell the teacher the problem of the result this time so that teacher can repair the Sword Monster for the better".

Fire appeared in the hands of Poris who burned the entire document without leaving any evidence, he should not be known to the academy, especially he who gave the sword to Horge.

As long as it was discovered, he must have been the target of killing many great powers in the world.

As for Horge's death, Poris didn't care at all.

From the beginning the reason Poris helped Horge to become the strongest 10th rank of the Wood Sword Academy was not because he was good, but rather that he raised Horge like the guinea pig he used later.

Horge died after becoming a failed guinea pig, although he lost 1 experimental rat, at least Poris gained useful information regarding the Sword Monsters to tell his teacher.

To Poris, the information he had obtained about the Sword Monsters was much more valuable than Horge.
