In the blink of an eye, a week had passed and Sol was yet to fully recover. Unless he used the Cerberus Bloodline power his wounds are bound to heal like that of any other man. But using it means he would have to suffer a day of being in a weakened state which is no different from having a very strong fever.
Sol decided it was best to just recover naturally.
"They pushed back the exam by a week just because of me? Interesting!" Sol muttered with a smile.
In his opinion, he has achieved half his goal by making these people who never wanted to have anything to do with him, become considerate and affectionate towards him. As far as he is concerned, as long as he can create an image in the mind of at least half of Hallow mountain's population, he shouldn't find it hard to become the absolute leader of this place.
Buzz!
Just at that moment, Sol felt his soul tremble as a darkish green fire burnt through the world around him.
Grrr!
Sol's eyes lit up with killing lights as his fangs were revealed and his body shot forward like a bolt!
Roar!
Boom!
With a single punch, Sol shattered the door ahead and landed on all fours. Right in front of him was a towering figure of over six feet in a tiger skin robe.
Ding!
[New quest unlocked: Survive Darth!]
[Host is under the effect 'Dominance of an alpha'. As long as the host can survive each encounter with Darth, it will be beneficial for his survival and growth]
Only after seeing this message did Sol's mind finally regain some calm
"A wild one…. To think my brother would die for this thing… foolish" Darth's tone was void of any form of emotions and his eyes as cold and frosty.
Wild?
Sol rose to his feet with a deep frown. For a moment now he was completely overwhelmed by the presence of this man bringing out the beast in him. If it wasn't for the sound of the system, he would have been lost and completely become a beast.
Huff!
Sol exhaled heavily and his face turned calm and emotionless.
Flap!
Following a mild gush of wind, the robes of the two stood like child and man but none backed away. For now, Sol was focused on one simple thought.
Who the hell is this guy?
Meanwhile, Darth Ark was slightly stunned. Just a moment now he thought Sol will be lost in the effects of his presence. If his presence was like that of a dominating tiger, that of Sol was completely different from his expectations. Sol's aura was no different from that of a sheathed blade.
A very sharp blade!
"You are his son…. Not bad" Darth said with a cold look.
"Kneel!" Darth suddenly ordered.
Buzzz!
[Warning! The embers of eternity are fragile at this moment, should the host kneel to this man, he will be relinquishing his position as the sixth tribe chieftain to Darth Ark]
Sol's legs felt wobbly at first but as soon as he saw this message, his eyes turned cold and his strength returned to his legs!
Bam!
Sol planted his feet on the ground and cupped his fists while biting down hard on his lips.
Huff!
"Cocky!" Sol said in a cold and aloof tone and his words reverberated across the room.
Shit!
This face-off was already expected but no one would have expected Sol to last more than one round with Darth! He dared to say such words to the face of this man!
Even Darth Ark was taken aback and soon his cold eyes broke and a cold smile bloomed
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Darth Ark quickly turned and began walking away with a cruel look on his face.
"It's nice to know you left a real man behind to look after the tribe… Focus on your test kid, I will deal with the council… they will give me an explanation why my brother is not alive or they may end up joining him!" Darth Ark's voice boomed as his figure slowly faded in the distance.
Bang!
Sol fell on his knees with a face drenched in sweat and his chest clutched hard while he gasped for breath relentlessly.
It felt like a mountain was placed on his chest but for only a moment. If it stayed any longer, he definitely would have been crushed.
Ding!

Sol felt his muscles loosening and his strength soaring, he saw his claws grow at a visible rate while his fangs grew longer and sharper.
Huff!
Sol looked up and his eyes revealed a darkish green flash. Unknown to him, green strips were slowly appearing on his black hair.
Many would think Sol would be happy at this time but he didn't seem to care about any of those things now. If the former sixth tribe chieftain gave him the vibe of an emperor, this man gave him the vibe of a Tyrant.
Understanding the basic nature of this man, it's only a matter of time before the man forcefully takes the sixth tribe away from him!
Never!
Bang!
The ground revealed web-shaped cracks under Sol's fist. This is the first time Sol has felt anxious about a person or a problem since he came to this world. The image of Tulic Vlad sprang into his mind as he silently prayed they would be able to keep this man busy for a while.
Even if the man is a tyrant, the leaders of these families and tribes are not weak either. He wouldn't dare act recklessly with all of them present but in the end, a beast will always be a beast. Unless he is satisfied, they can only hold out for so long.
Will they bend to his demands or will they fight back?
