Chapter 37: Enhanced Recovery
"Yes, Master." With Luis' order, the evil spirit vanished, and the next moment appeared with another evil spirit beside him.
"Greetings Master. I come to request you-" Before the evil spirit named Fin could put forth his request and let Luis follow the original story.
Luis gave a disdainful look and stopped him. "Did I allow you to speak?" His deep voice made Fin shake in terror.
"Master, I-I.." Evil spirit Fin shuttered.
Luis waved his hand with an annoyed expression on his face. "I don't want to hear your nonsense. Bring me the letter sent by Lady Philip."
His commanding tone made Fin and the other evil spirit shiver. From Luis' performance, they had already come to believe that the person in front of them was their master.
"Th-That.."
But Fin doesn't seem like he wants Luis to read that letter.
"Ha," Luis gave a mocking laugh and continued. "You don't dare to?"
"Master... I.."
"Enough!" Luis raised his hand and snapped. "I don't want to hear any more nonsense. You lowly servants went against my orders and even sent a letter to Lady Philip complaining about my actions."
"Did your peasant blood become so daring?" Luis shouted in rage.
It seems Fin's mentality was also broken at that moment. He snapped back. "Because of your order, so many of us died of hunger or were killed by the guards you stationed when they tried to escape."
If he were a human, he would have been so miserable. But unfortunately, Luis could only see a black shadow shouting aggrievedly.
"What did we do wrong? We just supported your elder brother as the successor because at your hands we would have just become human experiments for your evil practices."
Luis saw the black shadow tremble.
"But you instigated to kill your elder brother and didn't allow any of us to leave this mansion. Lady Philip had already revealed to us your true face long ago."
Fin shouted in frustration.
There was silence in the room for a moment, then Luis' heavy voice sounded.
"As I suspected, you were aware of it."
Luis' grim tone made both of them afraid. "Go and gather all the servants in the hall."
"Master, I beg you, please."
The other evil spirit wanted to protest, but with a wave of his hand, Luis gave his ultimatum.
"Do I need to repeat myself?"
Fin was already on the verge of tears by the time they left. That's what Luis assumed because he can't figure out the emotions of a shadow like evil spirit.
Watching the evil spirits vanish, Luis let out a deep sigh. "Phew, that was scary."
"I can't believe such nonsense worked." Luis couldn't help but smirk, thinking of his performance a moment ago.
'My performer's talent is too terrifying, isn't it? In the game, we needed to find out all the clues to get their trust, but I skipped all that.'
Luis took out the box with the number lock and calmly unlocked it with the password he already knew.
'The password is simple. It's just the date of all the letters.'
"So, one, zero, two, zero, two, five, and *Click* done," Luis exclaimed with a slight smile.
Inside the box was a strange pendant and a note. Luis didn't touch the pendant directly. Instead, he read the note first.
The note was written to Jeremy. It said that Jeremy's elder brother betrayed him and colluded with the demons to become the successor.
Jeremy set up a magic barrier around the mansion to stop the demons from entering the estate, but Lady Philip, who was Jeremy's ex-fiancee and then became the wife of his brother, was a half-demon. She sent a cursed pendant to the mansion in the name of Jeremy as a gift when he was not here.
She kept all the servants as hostages inside the mansion and threatened Jeremy, who wanted to reveal everything to the Holy Knights. Because of the curse from the pendant, all the servants inside the mansion were affected and slowly died. Jeremy, who couldn't save anyone, was helpless and died at the hands of his brother.
Because of the effect of the cursed pendant and their vengeance against Jeremy, which Philip instilled inside their hearts, all the servants who died inside the mansion became evil spirits.
'I don't need to follow this story. Let's just end this.' Luis held the torch to the cursed pendant, and it was set ablaze by Ghost Fire.
The green flame came into contact with the pendant and flared up intensely. Covering the entire pendant, the Ghost Fire burned rapidly, refining all the evil energy inside the cursed item.
It didn't take long for the cursed item to be refined under the blazing Ghost Fire. He immediately used Pocket Space and put it inside while it was still burning.
{Congratulations! You have eliminated the source of evil energy inside the mansion.}
As the mysterious voice sounded, Luis muttered under his breath. "Now let's deal with all the evil spirits."
For the next few minutes, Luis worked hard to burn the entire mansion down. Watching the scene from a distance as the whole mansion burn under the green flames of Ghost Fire. An unknown sense of excitement emerged inside Luis, which he was unaware of.
Just like that, all the evil spirits were also refined under the blazing Ghost Fire.
Luis felt his vision blur, and the next moment, he found himself back at the arena.
{Congratulations! You have passed the second test [Challenger].}
{For passing the second test, a reward is given to the [Challenger].}
{It's a skillbook called Enhanced Recovery (D).}
Once again, a green light fell from the sky and a skillbook appeared in front of him. Without wasting any time, Luis activated his mana and learned the skill. Because the final challenge was here.
{Now the [Challenger] will face the final test.}
{Defeat the Giant Skeleton soldier or Survive for 5 minutes.}
"Luis," Hearing the requirement for the test, Lumine and Alicia panicked.
"Don't worry, it's fine," Luis said with a slight wave of his hand. "I've been waiting for this."
{Let's Begin}
*GRAWAAAOO*
