Chapter 38: Sethra's Death!
Riding on his Immortal Crane, he was buffeted by the turbulence high in the air. It was an amazing feeling, with the entire vastness of the Magus Academy world laid out on display before Tron's eyes. Being an official student of the Magus Academy was indeed different from being a servant...
...
Dark Creature Garden.
Tron had come on his Mutated Beast. By right, he had to land in Magus Daphne Dark Garden. After becoming a student of the Magus Academy, he was no longer in a subordinate relationship with Magus Daphne.
"Descend."
With a long cry, it landed in the Dark Creatures of Garden. A servant hurried up to take care of the Mutated Beast, but the servant was not smiling. Instead, his face was ashen, saying, "Tron, something has happened."
Something wrong!
Tron frowned.
The servant lifted a shaking finger, pointing at the manor at the distance.
Tron immediately had a bad feeling. Was Sethra attacked by a loose Mutated Beast?
"Whoosh!"
Tron's expression was dark. His body flashed as he vinashed into a blur.
The door was ajar, and there were many servants standing around inside. It was precisely those who had escorted Sethra back.
Their faces were pale, and they were trembling all over.
Tron pupils constricted, his mind blank.
When he entered the wooden hut, he saw a beautiful, but bloodied older female figure, lying on the bed. Her long eyelashes curled upwards, revealing her closed eyes. Barely any signs of breathing could be heard. She was almost a corpse.
Bang!
His blood boiled, rushing to his brain. The veins in his eyes swelled, tinting his entire vision with blood.
Sethra, barely alive!
Expressionlessly, he grabbed the Superposition Potion and placed it in his mouth.
Prying her mouth open, he forced the potion down her throat. Waves of energy erupted from her body, but it did nothing to increase her breathing pace.
"All of you!"
At this moment, all Tron wanted to do was to cut these servants down where they stood.
But turning back, he saw two servants on the floor, their mouths covered in blood. Their eyes were popping wide, trying to talk to Tron, but their tongues had been cut out.
"Tron... Magus Tron , not... not our fault, it was Xavier! We met Xavier on the road, and three others. It was they who caused Sethra's death!"
Crash!
The remaining few servants fell to their knees.
"Gina and Quavo just said a couple of things about them, and they had their tongues cut out."
"Xavier attacked, and we could not stop him at all."
The servants quickly spoke.
Xavier!
Tron's eyes were red. His chest was roiling like a volcano!
Sethra was still the most selfless person in the entire academy of. For the sake of others, she could risk her happiness and even her life. And now he had just become a Prime student, and was about to take care of her. But Xavier had actually tried to kill her!
Killed an older lady who couldn't even defend her self.
"Seems like he really hates you. Seeing Sethra, he just attacked out of hand. Xavier even said that killing a servant, in the eyes of a Magus, was an insignificant thing, no different from crushing an ant."
"Quavo told them that you were already a student, and the Primeas well. They laughed, and not only cut out Quavo's tongue, but also said that you were nothing but a small fry who had turned his fortune. They were going to kill this old wretch, and what could you do about it?"
"It seems like Magus Academy students cannot kill each other, or there would be grave consequences. That was why they had acted with impunity! Sethra had nothing to do with it, but they would not let her be!"
The servants gritted their teeth and spoke.
"Sethra."
Tron knelt on the floor and gently stroked her black silky hair.
He wouldn't have budged if it were natural reasons she died. But someone actually killed her just to spite him.
The person who, because of his beast, had used his whip to beat him to death and even her too.
The person who allowed Sethra to stab herself, just for a joke.
In that moment, Sethra breathed her last.
With a crack, the floor beneath his hands crumbled, and there was only dust underneath his palms.
"Huo!"
Tron stood up, his body raging with bloodthirst, anger, and killing intent!
Tron sat on his Mutated Beast and flew towards Astra Arena, the battle ground where the most acolytes gathered to battle and chat.
When Tron had attained the champion position, Sethra's exited smile was a memory which Tron could not forget. Right now, it had brought even more unbearable pain.
"Xavier!"
That man's arrogant, despotic, and absolutely unbridled face appeared within Tron's mind. Tron could even imagine how he had put Sethra to death. That very thought caused every inch of Tron's body to blaze with a hateful fury.
He had just read the academy's rules, which prevented fellow students from wanton slaughter amongst themselves. If anything happened amongst them, they would have to report it to the academy instead.
Apart from the Instructors, Primes could also ride their mounts within the academy!
"Astra Arena!"
He had arrived.
His entire body, his blood, flesh, bones, tendons, and even his organs were currently blazing with a scorching blood. His eyes were bloodshot and there was a killing intent emanating from him that had never been there before!
"Xavier!"
Tron shouted out in fury, causing everyone to stop in their tracks.
A moment later, the entire area fell into a commotion. This seemed to be a challenge.
"Haha, no need to shout, I Xavier am here."
From the edge of Astra Arena came a sloppy and careless reply.
He was speaking from the Platform.
Tron pushed his Mutated Beast forward. It was just two hours past noon, so the heat from the sun was piercing. When the rays of heat burned Tron's skin, a crimson sheen could be seen swirling from within him.
Astra Arena's Platform had numerous students on it. All of them saw a youth who looked as though he was covered in bloody mist descending from the skies. Before the Mutated Beast had landed, he had jumped off its back, slamming into the ground.
"BANG!"
The stone floor of the platform had been smashed into smithereens by the impact!
"Who is this?"
