9 THRONES

CHAPTER 142: BLACK SMOKE FLUTE

Hasel rushed towards the house of Gostaf as quickly as possible, as a teacher who had been in the Wood Sword Academy for a long time and a friend of Gostaf who could be said to be quite trustworthy, as well, Hasel knew very clearly about the flute that Diryas was using now.

The flute was an artifact that the founder of the Wood Sword Academy obtained from the Monster Laboratory.

After knowing the usefulness of the flute, the founder of the academy decided not to use it again but instead he sealed it and let Gostaf guard the flute.

From the very beginning the founder of the academy did not know the real name of the flute he had sealed, but when he learned of the usefulness of the flute, he did not know, the founder of the academy decided on his name as a flute of black smoke because the flute was able to summon monsters formed by a collection of unknown black smoke.

The reason the founder of the Wood Sword Academy sealed the flute was that he knew how terrifying the power of the black smoke monster was.

As long as one continued to give it the life energy they had, the black smoke monster would not die. No matter how heavy the wound he received, the wound must have regenerated.

The best way to seal back the black smoke monster was to kill its user.

Not stopping there, the strength of the black smoke monster was also no less terrifying that of a medium-level cultivator. Whether in terms of strength or ability, the black smoke monster was not inferior to Tardi or Gordaf as a mid-level cultivator.

The final problem was that the black smoke monster was able to continuously divide itself into small shapes. According to the founder of the academy, the black smoke monster could make 1 million of its tiny self every day.

Although the calculation of the founder of the academy is not necessarily accurate because he said there is a possibility of errors such as too little or more, but it should be that the number of imitations of himself that the black smoke monster could make was close to 1 million.

Which meant that the black smoke monster had 1 million troops helping it, such a figure should not be left free. Especially the black smoke monster could not be controlled, neither monsters nor humans, he always refused to submit. Perhaps if the one who came was the Emperor or the throne holder, the black smoke monster would have surrendered. But great figures like the Emperor and the throne holder did not consider black smoke monsters as important opponents, however their strength was too terrifying to be able to destroy black smoke monsters using 1 punch.

Hence, they had no interest in making the black smoke monster surrender to them.

Then another use of the Black Smoke Flute is that all monsters that hear the flute sound will become crazier and stronger, whereas humans will not receive any effect from the flute sound.

When Hasel was about to arrive at Gostaf's house, he stopped because he found Githa standing there.

Hasel stared at Githa cautiously "What are you doing here, Githa? Aren't you going to the arena to watch the student match of the Wood Sword Academy? Besides, aren't you trying to stop the flute sound that is echoing throughout the academy? Even if you don't know the function of the flute, I'm sure you know it's not good for humans, right?".

"Hasel, there's no need to waste time and talk about something useless" Githa said smiling on her pretty face to Hasel, many men in the academy fell to Githa from this smile "Ever since you saw me at Gostaf's house, you must have understood that we were enemies, right? If I wasn't your enemy, I would have stopped the flute in Diryas' hands from earlier! Why didn't I stop him? The answer is simple, Me and Diryas are partners, at least for now".

Hasel's entire body shook, he looked at Githa hatefully and could not believe "Is the reason there is no resistance from Gostaf also because of you? The power of Diryas was no stronger than Gostaf, rather their strength was the same. If Diryas tried to steal the Black Smoke Flute, Gostaf would have realized it so they would have fought. As long as they fight, we must have realized someone was trying to steal a flute artifact".

"The problem from the beginning, I never felt any fight here that meant 1 thing, you tricked Gostaf and killed him directly without giving him a chance to fight, am I right? That way, you can take the Black Smoke Flute without having to fight which definitely attracts the attention of the other teachers in the academy".

Githa clapped "You're right, I tricked Gostaf from the start by acting like a guest. After all we are close enough as the 3 strongest people from the old master of the Wood Sword Academy, Gostaf is completely unsuspecting of my arrival. When he let his guard down, I killed him with poison! Hows it? Do you feel you have asked enough? If you have any other questions, you may ask! Given our past friendship, I don't mind sharing some stories with you except for important news that you shouldn't know".

"No need, I have no interest in wasting any more time talking to you!", said Hasel who drew his sword, Hasel's face turning icy cold "Githa, I hope you're prepared! When you killed Gostaf and betrayed the Wood Sword Academy, you had become my enemy! By using this sword, I will kill a traitor like you".

"Very interesting!", said Githa who took her sword as well "Let's fight, starting today, The 3 strongest old teachers of the Wood Sword Academy will disappear and turn into the strongest old teachers of the Wood Sword Academy because only 1 of us has a chance at life! Neither me nor you, we can live a normal life of being friends with each other anymore!".

Hasel and Githa stared at each other while holding a sword in each other's hands. They did not dare to act recklessly because they knew, their opponents were not weak at all.

As a partner who worked together for many years, both Hasel and Githa understood how frightening their opponent's strength was.

Therefore, none of them chose to attack first but to wait for the right time in order to attack the enemy and give fatal wounds to their respective opponents.
