Chapter 15 - Requiem

Just as Copperfield was about to pull out the beheading soul behind him.

Elegy hummed.

Copperfield paused, and a mysterious musical score gradually appeared in his mind.

A whisper that seemed to come from the depths of hell sounded in Copperfield's heart.

The hoarse, low voice seemed to be filled with monstrous killing intent. Copperfield had never heard of such obscure language anywhere as if this language does not exist in this world.

But at the same time, Copperfield seemed to be able to directly understand the meaning contained within.

"Requiem?"

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Before Copperfield could think any further, the Wind Magic Wolf in front of him had already pounced over.

"Clang!"

The broadsword collided with the wolf's sharp claws.

Copperfield did not hesitate. With his current strength, he was unable to freely control the soul beheading.

Summoning the restless Elegy, the mysterious music score that had just appeared appeared appeared in his mind.

Clyde's body was riddled with injuries.

The armor on his body had already been broken, revealing his strong body that was covered in wounds. Fresh blood dripped from his body, and some of the scratches were so deep that even his bones could be seen.

Even as a three-star soul master, he was still somewhat unable to face such a large group of magical beasts. Moreover, Clyde had always needed to send reinforcements to his members.

After all, they were facing a tier 2 magical beast, the Wind Magic Wolf, some of the one-star members of the group weren't even able to protect themselves.

"You little dogs! Come on!"

Clyde roared furiously. At this moment, the defense line of the dragon mercenary group was beginning to show signs of collapsing.

Although no one retreated, even if they were heavily injured, they didn't wish to drag down their teammates. To the members of the mercenary group, their brothers were all family members with who they were willing to go through life and death together.

Family members.

So what if they died for them?

If they were able to just kill one more wolf, their brothers by their side would have a greater chance of survival.

"Come, this old lady will slaughter you bunch of bastards!"

A female member of the mercenary group dressed in a magic robe shouted.

She was originally a mage of the dragon mercenary group but in the continuous high-intensity battles she had, the soul power in her body had already dried up.

She pulled out the sharp blade left behind by her dead comrade beside her.

She raised her blade and brazenly walked towards the battle line.

It wasn't just the soul power of the mage-type soul masters that had dried up.

After the battle started, the members of the dragon mercenary group had been pouring all sorts of magic potions into their mouths.

However, during the battle, the effects weren't very strong.

The dragon mercenary group was already on the decline.

At this moment, the sound of a harmonica rang in the group's ears.

No one had ever heard such a soul-invading rhythm.

A low and melodious tune echoed in the valley, and the battle continued.

No one noticed it yet.

The Wind Magic Wolf pack in front of them had a fierce look, but there was also a hint of struggle in their eyes.

"Hmm? The attacking frequency of the wolf pack seems to have weakened!"

Some people in the crowd voiced out their doubts.

According to the previous situation, the wolf pack had already gained the upper hand in the battle against the dragon mercenary group simply due to their numbers.

Why did they have the intention to retreat at this moment?

"Could it be... the sound of the harmonica just now?"

Seeing that the wolf pack's attack had weakened, Clyde immediately looked in the direction where the harmonica sound had appeared.

A black-robed youth stood quietly in the valley. The setting sun in the west lengthened the shadow of the youth, and within that shadow, there seemed to be numerous devils that had come from hell.

The aura of death emitted from the youth's body was even stronger.

Until now.

Only now did the mercenary group discover that a huge vacuum zone had appeared around the black-robed youth.

All the living creatures were subconsciously moving away from the black-robed youth during the battle.

"This... could this be the music from the gods?"

"But could it be? This music contains a deep sense of death."

The members of the dragon mercenary group who were immersed in the sound of the harmonica muttered.

As the music continued to play, the Wind Magic Wolf pack gradually moved away from the members of the dragon mercenary group and retreated cautiously.

Clyde looked towards the retreating wolf pack and discovered that the temperament of the wolf in front of him had undergone a huge change compared to the bloodthirsty one from before.

The bloody aura in the eyes of the pack faded, and the bloodthirsty madness disappeared. What replaced it was a deep fear.

The source of the fear was the black-robed youth standing in the vacuum region.

Copperfield was immersed in this piece of music. His soul power gradually fused into his limbs and bones, faintly showing signs of breaking through to the power of a two-star.

"What kind of soul is this?"

"If I'm not mistaken, isn't that a harmonica?"

"Can a harmonica soul be able to unleash such powerful strength?"

"When I heard that melody just now, I actually felt a chill in my soul."

The surviving members of the dragon mercenary group could not imagine who could use a harmonica soul to repel this massive wolf pack.

But the one who was most shocked at this moment...

Was still Clyde.

Previously, Clyde had only thought that this black-robed youth who called himself Phil was an extremely talented genius, but he had been able to dominate this mountain range for more than ten years.

Clyde had seen many geniuses here.

With his strength at the peak of one-star, he had defeated more than a hundred tier 2 magical beasts singlehandedly.

Not to mention seeing it in person, if anyone mentioned this to Clyde before today, he would definitely have thought that the other party was insulting his intelligence!

And.

"A harmonica soul."

Clyde finally knew the true identity of the youth in front of him.

"Is it that youth named Copperfield?"

In an instant, Clyde thought through many things.

For the youth in front of him to have such terrifying strength, he definitely wasn't what the Cavendish Family said, a cowardly person.

As for what the Cavendish Family was planning, heh.

Clyde had always had no good feelings towards these nobles.

In just three minutes, Clyde, who didn't know the inside story, had already imagined a scenario in which the evil nobles had tried to suppress a genius civilian youth.

However, Clyde didn't choose to make it clear. The Cavendish Family wanted him to capture Copperfield?

I've never even seen him before. How can I capture him?

His gaze turned and looked at the wolf pack that had already dispersed in all directions.

Without waiting for Clyde to speak, the pharmacist beside him had already stepped forward.

"Leader, the Wind Magic Wolf pack from before had traces of being corroded by Magical Medicine."

"Is this the source of the strange movements in the Magic Beasts Mountain Range?"

He recalled how the gale mercenary group had appeared in the tavern at such a coincidental time, and how the Cavendish Family had tried to rope him in just before he entered the Magic Beasts Mountain Range.

Clyde's gaze became gloomy.

"Leader, in the battle just now, eight of our members had died, and seventeen other members were injured to varying degrees."

Hearing this, a strong murderous intent appeared in Clyde's gloomy eyes.
