An Extra's POV: My Three Fiancees Hate Me-Chapter 149: Luke

Drip drip.

The sound of water dripping rhythmically filled the air. Flickering torches swung from left to right as they hung from the walls of an underground circular hall.

The air smelled of moss and dirt, and the chilly cold clung to skin.

Mathias, the blonde boy, and the noble that they had met stood inside the hall. Mathias looked around this hall, his heart racing. The place made his bones crawl and his hair stand on edge.

"What is this place?" he managed to ask.

"This? This was a place hidden hundreds and hundreds of years ago. I believe my family had some sort of connection to this place.

But it was tagged extremely dangerous, and that the power it held was catastrophic, something that no man should ever wield, for it would warp his mind and turn him into a monster of desire," the noble said.

"What? Then why are we here?" Mathias asked. freewёbnoνel-com

"Because you’ll use the power this place has and become something great, strong, and powerful enough to take down those that you hate," the noble said.

"You just told us how dangerous it is, why would we agree to take power from it?" Mathias asked.

"Because there is a way to safely do it. My grandfather was the one who showed me this place. He spent a good portion of his life studying and trying to make a way for this power to be harnessed without dying or the power taking over the mind of the person.

And somehow, before he died, he managed to do it, but he didn’t live long after that. He died, not being able to test the method he created.

But now that the both of you are here, I’m sure we can do it, and you’ll receive power beyond anything that you have had before," the man said.

"I don’t think I want to be part of something so unsure," Mathias said.

The blonde boy walked to Mathias and grabbed him by the shoulder. He looked Mathias in the eye and spoke. "So you’ll just throw it all away without having any form of vengeance?

Those two, they took away your opportunity from you. You can never go home to your family again because of what they did.

I want you to see that, and I want you to take action for your own life. Here and now we have the opportunity for revenge. You can walk away and forever live with the fact that you allowed someone to destroy your dream and get away with it, or you can chase your desire to destroy them," the blonde boy said.

And all he said made sense to Mathias. Inside him was rage, inside him was anger. He was infuriated by what had happened, and he was tired of suppressing it.

"Fine, give me power to take them down, that’s all that matters," Mathias said.

"Yes, now you can stand at the center of the magical circle and receive power that will enable you to defeat your enemy," the man said.

"I’ll go first," the blonde boy said and walked into the center. As soon as he did, the noble pulled out a large book.

’Hahahahah, stupid kids, there is no way to make this safe. You’ll become tools for my use, and I’ll control you all. You offered yourself to me, so you are to blame,’ the man thought. He opened the book when the blonde boy was at the center.

"I need your name before we begin," the man said.

"Luke," the blonde boy replied immediately.

"Alright then, Luke," the man said as he began reading from the book.

"Calax, Zeracah limered, Unarah barrack Luke." He said some words that they had never heard before. The magical circle lit up with a blood-red glow. Tendrils shot out of the ground and latched around Luke.

It glowed for a few seconds without doing anything, but then it started looking like the tendrils were pulsing with energy.

"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, arghhhhhhhhh, aghrrrr!" Luke began screaming, yelling and pulling, trying to break free of the tendrils as an immeasurable amount of pain flooded his body.

He screamed more and more, blacking out several times in a row, but the pain didn’t stop. The energy kept pouring into his body until some sort of black marks spread all over his body and his eyes went blood red.

The pain came to an end and he fell to the ground, breathing heavily. He struggled back to his feet, taking a look at his hands. He felt it—he felt the strength coursing through his bones.

"Haha, hahaha, hahaha, this is power, so much power. With this power I don’t need anyone else. I can become Almighty," Luke said. His gaze went cold. He looked at the noble.

The noble on the floor felt the danger already. He rushed to try and use the spell that would bind Luke.

Luke smiled from ear to ear. "If I have such power, I don’t need the academy. I don’t need anyone else having the power," he said. Black flames erupted from his palm. He vanished and appeared right before the noble.

Before the man could react, he placed his palm on the man’s chest and blasted him with the black flames.

"Arghhhhhhhhh!" the man screamed as his face melted from the heat. He collapsed to the ground with his face entirely melted. He lasted a few seconds and died.

Mathias looked at the scene in fear and shock. He started taking steps back. "Luke, what did you do?" he asked.

"What did I do? I got rid of someone that wanted to use me. Yes, I know what he wanted to do. And now, I want to get rid of you because I don’t want anyone knowing where I received this strength from," he said and pointed his hand at Mathias.

"I know it was short, but our partnership has come to an end. Mathias, I hope you have a happy afterlife," Luke said and blasted Mathias with black flames at point-blank range.
