Chapter 816: The Price Of Arrogance [Part 1]



Ethan stared at Godfrey, who looked perfectly fine despite being under the sun.

He was a Vampire Lord, so he should have been weak when outside in the day, but perhaps the bloodline of the Progenitor that was flowing in his veins made it so that the noon-day sun didn't have any effect on him.

Just as Ethan expected, Godfrey came alone, not bothering to bring any of his subordinates with him.

As a Demigod, he was confident in his strength. Also, he wanted to impress Ethel by defeating her entire party on his own. That way, she would realize how strong he was and, maybe, she might fall for him in the end.

At least, that was what Godfrey was thinking.

He wasn't aware that Ethan and his team already knew that he was a Demigod and understood that he was very strong.

But they didn't plan on telling him this to his face.

After all, the element of surprise was in their hands, and if they succeeded in landing the decisive blow before the Vampire Lord could use his trump cards, it would be their win.

"You've come, Lord Godfrey," Ethel said with a smile.

"My Lady, how many times must I tell you to not call me Lord again?" Godfrey replied as he returned Ethel's smile. "Perhaps I should add that as one of the conditions if I win. What do you think?"

"If it's what you wish to add, then I am fine with it, Lord Godfrey."

"Surely you jest? I will not waste my condition on something so trivial."

Godfrey glanced at the contract in his hand and understood that it was the real deal. It was something that could bind him, but he wasn't too worried.

There were only two conditions that were listed on the contract for if he lost the duel-the first was to take Ethel to World's End where the Progenitor of Magic lived.

The second condition was the one that he found quite peculiar. If he lost, he would not harm Ethan Gremory, his family, friends, and acquaintances, whether it be directly or indirectly.

Frankly, he thought that this condition was very strange.

But since he assumed that it was due to the story he shared with Ethel, he decided to think that the young lady was just trying to be a good samaritan and protect someone whom she only heard about from his story.

With a flick of Ethel's thumb, the gold coin spun high in the air.

Godfrey stood with his arms crossed over his chest, fully believing that there was no possible way he could lose.

This wasn't the first time he had fought alone against many people.

In fact, he had destroyed several organizations in the past that had offended him, and he dealt with them on his own.

He had fought dozens and even hundreds of people back then. So, fighting five people wasn't really a big deal to him.

In fact, he even told the young beauty that she could invite more people to fight alongside her if she wished.

But Ethan politely declined his offer because it wouldn't be fair, which made the Vampire Lord laugh internally.

'I'll let them land a few hits and act as if they have the upper hand,' Godfrey thought. 'It will be more fun seeing the despair on their faces when they realize how strong I really am.'

The Vampire Lord casually glanced at his surroundings and saw that several people had gathered beside the lakeside to watch the battle.

The moment the coin landed on the ground, Nicole, Lyall, and Conall charged forward with the intention to test how strong a Demigod was.

Hecate stayed beside Ethel and took a fighting stance to unleash her most powerful attack.

This special move required a bit of preparation, so she needed to focus all her powers into one

decisive blow.

Ethan, who had already seen this move, stood beside Hecate.

He was holding his wand with his right hand, and holding the chain that Professor Barret gave him with his left.

'As expected, he is underestimating us,' Ethan thought. 'Good. Stay that way. Your arrogance will be your downfall.'

Ethan gripped his wand and the chain firmly in his hands as he waited for Hecate to finish charging up her attack.

The moment she finished, he would not hesitate to create an opportunity so that they could land the finishing blow on Godfrey's body, allowing him to realize the downside of his

arrogance.
