His shocked smile slowly turned into happiness as Lucian laughed wildly but was interrupted halfway as the familiar monotone voice rang out in the hall.
"Congratulations on your successful evolution to becoming a lesser Infernal.
Congratulations, you have now been promoted from the Infernal Slave to the Infernal Apprentice.
As you're now an Infernal Apprentice, your title have no meaning until you posses a master.
Your process of choosing a teacher will start in ten seconds.
10.9.8.7...".
Lucian was shocked speechless, from the information. He wasn't even given time to think about what was going on.
How had his left hand suddenly grow back? why did he feel so powerful?
Infernal Slave to Infernal Apprentice, what does that even mean.?
The damn voice just kept pushing him in danger all the time so he was a least sure it wouldn't be anything good too this time.
"3.2.1."
Lucian's gaze immediately turned serious as he got into a combat ready state. All his bones made crunching sound as his heart violently beat hard within his ribcage.
A deathly aura of focus emanated from his being,a murderous glint shining in his eyes.
Slight changes even Lucian himself failed to notice as after being thrusted repeatedly at the line of life and death, he just couldn't remain the same anymore.
He was expecting another transportation but nothing like that happened until lights started emanating from the statues and gathered on him before he could even move a muscle.
Sweat droplets rolled down Lucian's face, but he eventually calmed down when he saw the light weren't causing any changes to him.
The same monotone voice rang out
"The light emanating from the statues represented the Infernals which are willing to accept you as their disciple and hence transferring to you their legacy. The farther you go Into the hall, the more stronger the Infernals are.
Touch the statues if you wish to accept the Infernal as your master.
Make your choice wisely!"
Lucian snorted in his mind when he heard the last sentence. To make his choice wisely, this was the first time he was allowed to make his own choice since arriving in this place.
His gaze narrowed processing the information. At least he got to choose his own master.
Looking at the statues, he could see each of them shining their light on him, showing their willingness to accept him as their disciple.
A sense of pride filled Lucian's heart. The aura emanating from those statues were enough to make his knees go soft, but they were all willing to make him become their disciple which shows they believe he had potential.
He seems he was right, he sure had this aura of majestiness in him.
Looking around the place, there were different statues. Humanoid beings with four arms, a bat shaped creature with deathly black wings and sharp nails, a tiger like beast with a horn at its forehead. Every kind of nightmarish creature were present In the hall, each willing to accept him but Lucian ignored them as he entered deeper into the hall.
As he went deeper Into the hall, the aura around the place started becoming gloomy as if he was venturing into the dark abyss. The statues were three times taller than the ones he met before, but he could see they still weren't the strongest as the end of the hall were not in sight.
Honestly he could easily choose one of them and get this over with but he won't randomly choose. He knew what being weak meant. While the statues were very strong, they weren't the strongest. He wanted to choose the strongest as his master, for only by himself being the strongest can he really hold his future on his own hands, and the first step towards that was choosing the most powerful legacy to inherit.
Time passed in silence, but it wasn't long when Lucian arrived at the end of the hall.
He unconsciously swallowed as he stared around him, sweat droplets rolling down his face.
The smallest statues here were more than a thousand meter tall, each radiating an immensely powerful aura.
Lucian felt so incredibly small here but he nodded his head satisfactorily. These were no doubt the strongest of the statues.
Now, which should he choose.
He noticed even after entering into the hall so deep, the statues still shone their light on him, showing their approval of taking him in as their disciple.
He nodded satisfactorily as this was no doubt a confirmation that he had great talent but Lucian's prideful gaze suddenly dropped as he noticed one unusual statue.
While other statues stood tall and radiating a majestic evil aura.
This one was bounded by huge gigantic chains, which extended into the sky of the hall. It radiated absolutely zero aura making it hard to discover whether it was actually strong or weak but what made Lucian more surprised was the statue's figure and height.
This was the smallest statue present in the place as while the lowest statue here were about a thousand meter tall. This one was just 5 metres tall, a terrible mismatch but he was surprisingly placed among the titans.
The second thing was the statues figure.
While the other were all humanoid looking, that was only in the sense of standing on their two legs. Most had four arm, some a horn, others a tail, and they all had something in common which was their large claws.
But this statue was different in that it looked in ever way a normal human being. Even though it's entire body was wrapped around in chains, his long white hair, his extremely handsome white face. It was completely different from any other statues present in the hall.
This was already enough to pique Lucian's interest, but he was disappointed because while other statues shone their light on him, this one didn't even shine any light.
Lucian looked at the face of the statue, which even though was only a statue, the smile of disdain on the man's face was unconcealed, as if mocking Lucian, which made him angry a little.
"You disdain having me as your disciple when all others want too, but guess what, you don't have choice but to get even your statue chained and now I'll be taking away that legacy you're so proud off." Lucian said to himself with a smug expression as he made his decision, he was choosing this statue.
He place his hands on the statue expecting it to light up while all it's legacy get transferred into his head but nothing happened after placing his had on it.
The statue was deadly silent, it's mocking gaze looking at him.
Lucian repeatedly placed his hands in the statue, oggling it, even hugging it too but no matter what he did there was no response.
"Seems a touch isn't enough, then I'm sorry, I can only go violent with you."
Lucian slowly clenched his hands together into a fist as he threw out a punch at the statue.
"Bang"
The sound repeatedly echoed in the hall, before a shrill scream-like that of a pig being slaughtered erupted- in the next second.
Lucian gaze contorted to one of pain, as his fist were entirely red. He felt as if all the force he sent out towards the statue were sent back at him making him scream out In pain but suddenly he felt the red In his hands slowly disappear as his hands suddenly stopped hurting.
A smile appeared on Lucian's face, as he was once again surprised by the improvement in his physique but he ignored that as he paced his attention back on the statue.
"Since you refuse to accept me as your disciple, then I'll just choose one out of the bunch..."Lucian slowly retreated from the statue as he made up his mind to choose another one when suddenly a nefarious thought appeared in his head, as a sinister smile appeared on his face.
Lucian immediately head back to the statue with a happy smile on his face.
"Well since you won't accept me as your disciple. Instead of staying here and being useless why don't you serve some use for me Instead" Lucian uttered with a sinister smile as his hands reached for his pants and slowly brought out his "big daddy".
Yes he was going to pee on it. It was only a statue in the end, what is it going to do about it.
Lucian on the verge of emptying out his bladders suddenly felt his "big daddy" went cold as all his hair stood in end in the next second.
He felt himself suddenly transported from the hall as a murderous expression filled the entire void he was present.
Lucian immediately drag his "big daddy" back to inside his pants when voice landed in his ears brimming with powerful pressure as he was immediately sent slamming onto the ground face flat with all his orifice bleeding.
"How do you want to die, kid..."
