Chapter 470 Kill Their Entire Family
Everyone fell silent upon hearing that. Krassu’s ability to ward off that heatwave so convincingly had completely stunned everyone. After witnessing that, they had been alerted to the fact that this seemingly frail old man was nowhere near as vulnerable as he seemed.
The young magic casters from the Magus Tower all wore fearful expressions. From the devastating fireball that Amy had unleashed and the power that Krassu had displayed, all of them knew that they wouldn’t be a match for either of them.
Abbott turned to Krassu with a nervous and wary expression. The worst possible scenario had eventuated. He took a glance at the panicked Hank, and hesitated momentarily before working up the courage to step forward with a serious expression.
“Master Krassu, Hank is indeed at fault in this matter. He used a sealed forbidden spell during his battle. Our Magus Tower concedes our defeat. I will report this matter to the elders of Magus Tower, and they will surely hand down a stern punishment to Hank. Regardless of whether it’s in a match like this or a duel between magic casters, his actions were very disgraceful.”
“You’re trying to threaten me with the Magus Tower?” Krassu’s footsteps didn’t falter in the slightest as he continued to stride forward with a disdainful look on his face.
“I wouldn’t dare to do that. You were the one who founded the Magus Tower, and spent several decades developing it into a force to be reckoned with. Everyone in the Magus Tower has nothing but respect for you.” Abbott lowered his head as he didn’t dare to look into Krassu’s eyes, but he didn’t back down, either.
He couldn’t back down. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to face the elders, and would be banished from the Magus Tower.
Even though Krassu was still an honorary elder of the Magus Tower, the unresolvable conflict he had with the current panel of elders was common knowledge to almost everyone in the Magus Tower. Few people dared to show dissent back when he was still at the Magus Tower, but if he really were to permanently reside in Chaos City, then his influence in the Magus Tower would inevitably wane over time.
Krassu stopped in front of Abbott, and asked, “Do you remember the three rules I set when founding the Magus Tower?”
Abbott was momentarily silent before replying, “Magic casters must be honest, kind, and have justice in their hearts. Anyone lacking those qualities must be banished from the Magus Tower.”
“I’m Brent’s disciple, you can’t banish me! You don’t have the right to do that…!” Hank immediately flew into a panic, and he shook his head vigorously as he tried to struggle to his feet.
“If I were still at the Magus Tower, I’d banish that fat bastard, Brent, as well. Even Richard doesn’t dare to speak like that to me; who do you think you are?” Krassu pursed his lips as he looked at Hank.
Hank’s entire body had been gripped by fear, but he still gritted his teeth, and said, “You’re not a Magus Tower elder anymore, so you don’t have the right to banish me. You’ve already been banished by the panel of elders from the Magus Tower; I’m going to tell my master-“
“Hank, shush!” Abbott yelled. Even Brent wouldn’t dare to say such things to Krassu. This bastard was trying to get everyone killed!
Abbott turned to Krassu with an earnest expression, and said, “Master Krassu, I’ll definitely be reporting this to the panel of elders, and recommend that they banish Hank from the Magus Tower. I’m ashamed to be part of the same organization with someone like him, and the Magus Tower definitely won’t spare him, so I hope…”
“I’m not here to clean up the Magus Tower’s mess today as the Magus Tower has nothing to do with me from this day forth. I’m also ashamed to be part of such a pitiful organization.” Krassu shook his head before turning to Hank with a cold smile as he said, “I’m only here to uphold justice for my disciple. I’ve always said this: young people must be taught their lesson from a young age. Otherwise, they’ll have to learn it the hard way when they grow up.”
“It’s his honor to be disciplined by Master Krassu in person.” Abbott hesitated a while longer before finally stepping aside, revealing Hank to Krassu.
The Magus Tower magic casters all looked on with pursed lips, and none of them dared to say anything.
“You can’t do anything to me! I’m Brent’s disciple! I’m a member of the Magus Tower, and you’re no longer part of the Magus Tower. If you dare to touch me, you’ll have to face the wrath of the Magus Tower!” Hank was in a completely frenzied state of panic as he looked at the approaching Krassu. He fell to his knees, and crawled backward as he turned to Abbott with a beseeching look. “Save me, Master Abbott! You have to save me!”
“You must take responsibility for your actions both as a man and as a magic caster. I cannot help you here.” Abbott shook his head with a cold expression. As a magic caster, he found Hank’s actions to be utterly despicable.
Furthermore, Krassu had already made up his mind, and there was no point in trying to dissuade him. Even mentioning the Magus Tower couldn’t deter him, so no one would be able to stop Krassu today.
“Principal, should we step in? There are so many children watching.” Grinton cast a concerned glance toward Novan.
“I’ve always been a fan of the rules that Krassu had set for the Magus Tower. Those rules harbored the clean and decisive spirit of the knights, as well as the discipline and freedom that should belong to a magic caster. In my opinion, they should be the universal rules of the magic world. Unfortunately, Richard changed those rules over and over again, completely ruining them in the process. When justice is discarded, a magic caster is no longer worthy being called a magic caster.” Novan looked at Krassu with a reminiscent smile as he said, “This is a very valuable lesson. I want the children of our school to see this and realize how important it is to be a good person before you try to achieve anything else. Even as a prodigy, he still has to uphold justice and abide by the rules. Isn’t that what our Chaos City and Chaos School have been preaching all along?”
Grinton nodded with a thoughtful expression. He turned to the children below the stage, and didn’t say anything further.
A component should be added to the magic caster trials that test one’s nature, Mag thought to himself. He was simply relieved that Amy was unscathed. As for what Krassu was going to do, he could roughly guess his intentions.
“Don’t kill me… I won’t do it ever again. I was only acting according to my master’s orders; he told me to teach her a lesson and embarrass you. I couldn’t beat her, so I didn’t know what to do; that’s why I used that sneak attack… Please don’t kill me! I’m a prodigy; I’m only 16 years old, and I could become a great magic caster in the future…” Hank’s face was deathly pale, and he was rambling almost incoherently in his panic. He suddenly realized that the old man his master had denounced was not someone he could mess with.
“I won’t kill you, but you don’t deserve to possess magic.” Krassu stepped forward abruptly. Hank wanted to evade in his horror, but his body was suddenly immobilized. Krassu laid his hand on Hank’s head, and a red light flashed, immediately after which Hank collapsed to the ground with nothing but despair in his eyes.
His mind realm had been destroyed, so he would never be able to cultivate in magic again.
“Tell Brent to come to Chaos City and explain this matter to me within 10 days. If I don’t see him in 10 days, I’ll go to Rodu and take care of him along with the entire Magus Tower.” Krassu withdrew his hand, and turned to Abbott with a serious expression as he said, “You can try to plot against me, but if anyone dares to touch Amy, I’ll kill their entire family. If you don’t think I’m enough of a threat, then throw Urien into the mix as well.”
