Hammer... of Death!
Why was it the Hammer of Death?
The three-star soul master's hands were trembling. Almost subconsciously, a surge of soul power surged out from his body. This surge of soul power caused all the youths below the stage to lose their balance and almost fall down.
"Teacher, is there anything else?"
Chester looked at the three-star soul master and asked calmly.
He didn't seem to be affected by this wave of soul power. His eyes were still fixed on the spot, and his footsteps were steady.
"You..."
The three-star great soul master remembered who the true enemy of the world's aristocrats was!
It wasn't a magical beast, nor was it the Russell family. It was that man who had caused the entire world's aristocrats to feel fear!
He had awakened a soul of death.
Back then, the ancient dark descendant who had single-handedly slaughtered the world's nobles was wielding the Scythe of Death!
Such a person couldn't be allowed to live!
It was also at this moment that the young patriarch of the Cavendish family, Dipsy, stood high up in the stands and silently released a strand of soul intent toward the three-star soul master.
"Capture him!"
It was an order with only two words.
Today.
This youth could forget about leaving Cavendish Town!
This was a thorn buried in the hearts of the world's nobles.
It was something that would cause them to be extremely terrified when they recalled it up until now.
Today.
This youth had awakened the Hammer of Death without being on guard. And now, he was far from growing up. This was also the best time to capture him.
He felt a sharp killing intent being released.
Copperfield immediately raised his head and looked at the Cavendish noble standing on the high platform in the distance. A hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
Hammer of Death.
This youth probably didn't know what getting the Hammer of Death meant.
If he did, he wouldn't have appeared here today.
When Terrence saw this scene, his heart also jumped. Terrence was extremely clear about the secret behind this. In fact, back then, the nobles of the world had secretly issued a wanted notice. The person wanted was a man who had awakened the Scythe of Death.
The Scythe of Death was something that terrified all the nobles of the world.
"Teacher."
Copperfield looked at Terrence.
Terrence shook his head and continued to speak.
"Everything has its own destiny."
Back then, Copperfield's father, who was also the head of the Russell Family, had fought with the man who had awakened the scythe of death countless times. However, each time, they ended in a draw.
Over time, they became close friends.
This matter... was absolutely confidential!
Even Copperfield didn't know about it. The only person who knew was Terrence.
And now, Copperfield wanted to save this youth only because this youth had a common goal with him.
To get rid of the nobles of the world!
Under the turbulent undercurrents, the three-star Great Soul Master looked at Chester and spoke indifferently.
"Back then, the commander of the Resistance Army of the World was the one who had awakened the Scythe of Death. They openly violated the Empire's laws."
"And the thing you awakened was the Hammer of Death. Now, I suspect that you're the commander of the Resistance Army of the World's descendant."
When his words fell, everyone present was shocked.
"What? The commander of the Resistance Army of the World's descendant?"
"Holy shit! There's a bad person among the masses!"
"Take him away! He's the son of a demon!"
"If he's not a demon, how could he awaken the Hammer of Death? How could anything good happen to those who are related to Death?"
"That's right! It must be so!"
Chester was taken away amidst the discussions.
"Hahaha."
"I didn't expect that such a small awakening ceremony would have such a pleasant surprise!"
The young clan leader of the Cavendish clan laughed coldly.
Capturing this youth and sending him to the capital to claim credit, it was likely that the Cavendish clan would also welcome the greatest glory!
Thinking up to this point, the young clan leader felt a wave of excitement in his heart.
It could be said that this youth was the most crucial tool to revitalize their Cavendish clan, an item that could even threaten death!
And...
At this moment, when the young man was forcibly taken away, the awakening ceremony was still continuing.
"Russell Copperfield!"
As the soul master read out this name, the people below the stage immediately began to discuss animatedly.
"Isn't this the descendant of the general who caused the destruction of Titan City back then?"
"Hmph, he still has the face to participate in the awakening ceremony?"
"But back then, his father's strength was extremely powerful! It's said that the soul artifact was a long sword! Do you think he would..."
Copperfield calmly walked up to the stands.
In the distance, Dipsy, who had come to watch his sister's soul-awakening ceremony, noticed Copperfield, who was about to awaken his soul.
Dipsy's face tensed up. The terrifying pressure that General Russell had brought to him back then was still vivid in his mind. If it wasn't for the fact that he had gotten rid of Copperfield back then, it would appear that his family was deliberately hiding the truth. Otherwise, how could he have allowed Copperfield to live until now!
"However, for now, I can first see just what kind of soul this brat can awaken. If he's like his father, hmm..." Dipsy thought to himself.
Copperfield stood in front of the spirit detection sphere, feeling the soul power surging on the sphere at a close distance.
Copperfield's soul seemed to be pulled by this soul power. His soul power seemed to have transformed into a pair of gentle hands, lifting Copperfield's hands up before slowly placing them on the surface of the spirit detection sphere.
When the soul master saw this, he raised his brows.
"Oh? Even without any training, you already have such good soul affinity?"
A wisp of black mist suddenly rose from the surface of the soul-testing sphere.
"Black? What type is a black soul?"
Even the old soul master frowned. He had seen many things, and this black mist was something that even he couldn't see through.
As the black fog swirled around, the soul-testing sphere itself seemed to shake. It was as if two geniuses had awakened their souls at the same time. It seemed to be unable to bear the burden.
The black fog slowly formed a magical spell in the air.
Copperfield's soul was about to appear from the spell!
"Soul Compatibility, 100%!"
Dipsy, who was far away, was obviously shocked. He hurriedly ordered his subordinates. If Copperfield awakened an artifact soul that was exactly the same as his father's, then they must eradicate him today!
The scenes of him groveling in front of General Russell quickly flashed before Eden's eyes.
"The compatibility of his soul is 100%. If he can awaken a sword-shaped soul like his father's, then even if we lose all decorum today, we must end this scoundrel's life here!"
As Dipsy thought to himself, he looked up at Terrence, who was standing not far from Copperfield, and snorted coldly.
The other reason why he hadn't attacked Copperfield was because of this old man, but now...
The audience's eyes widened as if they were confirming that they hadn't seen wrongly.
The soul master's voice was filled with doubt. He had thought that it was another genius among geniuses, but this soul...
"Soul... Harmonica?"
