Chapter 549 Challenged
Most of the Arcanists from Kirkham City were fairly young, especially the members of the Blaze Fan Squad. These Fire Elementalists were also impulsive, so they readily accepted the challenge.
However, Roy still had a condition as he also had to think about the whole mission.
"Alright! My squad will take the challenge. If your squad managed to contribute the most to the Vampire Castle's subjugation, we can give you the money that you want or an item that we can offer. However, if your squad fails to dominate the subjugation mission, then you have to give us the Eagle Eyes Spell Model!" Roy said with a grin on his face.
"What? You guys are Elementalists... Why would you need a Beast Art's Tier 2 Spell?" Drake scowled as he couldn't comprehend why they would want the Spell Model of his family.
"It's not important… We would do whatever we want on that Spell Model. You can also request something from us." Roy said.
"I think they wanted to trade it, Drake... Don't agree to the bet. The Eagle Eyes Spell Model is only exclusive to your family. You can't just use it as a bet without the consent of your family." One of Drake's squad members quickly said to remind the hot-headed young man.
After remembering that it was the property of his family, Drake softly nodded as he looked at Roy.
"I won't be betting my family's exclusive spell. It was only for our family and those who pledged loyalty to us. If you wanted to have that, you have to give us something of equal value." Drake said.
Of course, Roy doesn't have a valuable item since he wouldn't be doing missions here if he did. He couldn't just give his life for that, after all.
As he thought of just backing out of the bet, he suddenly noticed the young man from the Justice Hammer Squad. This young man was the new recruit of the squad, and he seldom talked to them.
He stood up all of a sudden and looked at Drake.
"Are you sure that if we can give an item with equal value, you'd bet on that Eagle Eye Spell Model?"
The young man's voice was calm and clear. He looked at Drake with a piercing gaze.
He had a mysterious and confident aura, and everyone couldn't help but glance in his direction as soon as he spoke.
This young man had a trench coat that covered his body and a hat that covered his face. He had a ring that sparkled with darkness and a cane that adults would normally use.
Of course, he was Kyle, or at this time, Clovis Skye, the new recruit of the Justice Hammer Squad.
He was recruited to the squad with Constance, who had changed her name to Pearl for the time being.
After a few manipulations, they joined the Justice Hammer Squad to leave Kirkham City and evade the people who had been searching for them.
They had also joined the mission to the Vampire's Castle to find out more about the creature that lived there since Kyle couldn't restrain his curiosity after all.
Anyway, he had just completed his extraction from the dark entity he had killed using the Divine Lightning's Call.
Aside from expecting some energy and attributes, he had obtained an item from it. Of course, he won't be using this item to make a trade, but he was planning to use the ring he was wearing.
Drake squinted his eyes as he noticed that Clovis' outfit wasn't even that expensive. He could tell from his appearance that he wasn't that rich, so he couldn't help but doubt what he said.
"Can you really bring out an item of equal value? If not, you should not waste our time."
Clovis smiled as he took off his hat and revealed his face. He had blond hair and blue eyes. He had a handsome and charming appearance.
He showed his ring and revealed his item. It was the Doombringer Ring, a rare and powerful Mystical Artifact. It was assessed to be comparable to a Sovereign Rank item.
It had the ability to amplify the user's Dark Spells and literally bring doom to the targeted people or area.
He couldn't use this item before, but after weeks of training, he was already able to control a bit of his Divinity and was able to wear this dangerous item without suffering from the madness it would normally give to its wearer.
Clovis then smiled and spoke to Drake with a confident and playful tone.
"Of course, I'm sure. I have an item that is worth more than your Eagle Eyes Spell Model. It's the Doombringer Ring, a Sovereign Rank Mystical Artifact. It's a ring that can bring chaos and destruction to a person or even a targeted area. I can show its might later or you can hire an Appraiser to look at it."
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked as Sovereign Rank Artifacts were items that are considered heirlooms and wouldn't normally be carried along in your journey but kept hidden until they had to face a crisis.
After all, items like these don't have huge durability. Every time they were used, they would start to deteriorate, and fixing them was considered impossible.
"Sovereign Rank?" Drake muttered as even with his family's wealth, he wouldn't be allowed to carry such a precious item.
"Yes… It's a ring that can make you a famous Arcanist or a killer. It's a ring that can change your fate depending on how you use it... I'm willing to bet on this challenge. Do you dare to accept it?" Clovis replied confidently.
Clovis then looked around and saw the reactions of the other Squads. He saw some of them were shocked and amazed, and some of them were intrigued and tempted. However, he noticed that Denise seemed wary and cautious.
Anyway, Clovis just smiled and waited for their answers.
This time, it was Drake who was unable to speak.
