Assassination System-Chapter 246 Invitation for the Mystic Realm of the Undead

Mathias's question sounded nonsensical to the three of them who stared right into his eyes with a smile decorating their faces. Without an ounce of hesitation. Natalie, Grace and Dan all nodded their heads in confirmation as the latter said in a voice filled with anticipation.

"Is that even a question that needs to be asked, Headmaster? Of course we do want to see and experience more of the world." Dan lightly laughed and his wives beside him also said.

"That's right, Headmaster. As long as there's an opportunity for us to learn more, why wouldn't we take it?" Grace covered her mouth with her palm and her shoulders shook as she chortled.

"Indeed, Headmaster. Since you graciously offered such an opportunity to us, it would be illogical and disrespectful to refuse your offer." Natalie followed suit and slightly bowed her head in gratitude. Her eyes sparkled with the same light as her two companions. Filled with excitement and anticipation for their futures.

"Good choice. I know that I don't have to remind you but it's safer that I do. The Mystic Realm of the Undead, as the name says contains the personification and apparitions of the damned souls that the supreme expert killed throughout his entire life. They continued to exist and haunt those that dared to trespass their territory..."

Mathias warned them with a cheeky smile on his face that incited fear from the two women who felt shivers down their spines. Dan glanced at Natalie and Grace, noticing their pale expressions, he stared back at Mathias and said.

"What could a bunch of skeletons and ghosts do against us, cultivators?" He said with crossed arms and Mathias sized him up for a moment and said, "You act so confident aren't you? But I think that even with your current capabilities, if you were placed in the Mystic Realm, you wouldn't even last an hour." Mathias chuckled.

His phrase intensified the fears of the two young women and Dan couldn't help but feel perturbed. Staring at Mathias's expression. He didn't looked like he was lying and if he was, there wasn't something for him if he lied so it would be illogical. Knitting his eyebrows, Dan asked.

"Is it possible for you to tell us on how exactly powerful are those monsters within the Mystic Realm?" Dan asked with caution, his arrogance retracted. Natalie and Grace who heard his words turned with attention at Mathias who lightly chortled.

"If I were to make a comparison, a single apparition at that Mystic Realm could beat ten of you, Dan..." His eyes shone in a crimson light that reflected amusement and interest.

Natalie and Grace shivered for a moment before the three of them finally realized how truly dangerous the Mystic Realm of the Undead. If ten Dans couldn't survive the attack of a single apparition, what could they do when they were weaker than him?

"In that case, Headmaster. Why did you even invite us if our enemies are that strong? isn't that the same as throwing our lives away?" Dan asked with a dark expression, his tone became slightly rash as Mathias turned to look at him and said.

"If I wanted to kill you guys, why should I go with such a roundabout way. With my cultivation base, all it takes is a single thought and I could even annihilate your existence without anyone else knowing what happened to you..."

Mathias's countenance hardened and Dan who acted rashly couldn't help but take a step backward. Clasping his hands together, he said in a mellow and amiable tone.

"Forgive this one's rashness, Headmaster. I was just overwhelmed and astonished by the information that I received from yours truly, that I forgot the difference between the two of us and acted like you were my close brother..." Natalie and Grace glanced at him and couldn't help but lightly chuckle as their slender shoulders slightly trembled from laughter.

"It's fine, It's fine, didn't I tell you that you don't have to address me that respectfully. After all, me and your father has been such good brothers. If I knew that I was treating his son like this, that old geezer would definitely come here from the Continent of the Divine and kick me down a notch..."

Mathias nonchalantly waved his hands and Dan felt cold sweat dripping down his back as he inwardly facepalmed. He actually forgot the difference between their status and treated this man like an old man in the streets! Grimacing, he glanced at his wives and found that the two were laughing at his misery. Glaring at them, Dan calmed himself down and focused on the task at hand.

"Of course, I am not so stupid to immediately throw you away to that place without giving you proper training. But before I train you guys. Let me tell you more about the Mystic Realm of the Undead and why are there so many influences going after it and what they are..."

Mathias nodded his head and glanced at them for a moment before continuing his discussion.

"One of the reason why this Mystic Realm has been so attractive to other influences, sects and organizations is because of the fact that a supreme expert at the Divine Emperor Realm from the other continent has managed to peer into the depths of the Independent space and found that the Mystic Realm had high concentrations of Spiritual Energy in certain areas which only means one thing..."

Mathias stopped and glanced at them for a moment. But before he could continue, Natalie who kept her silence continued.

"It means that enormous and innumerable formations should be concentrated at those certain areas. And whenever formations are present, it only means that something is being protected from outsiders. And as for what is being protected, I can only think of one thing..." Natalie stopped her sentence in suspense. But this time, it wasn't her that continued but Dan who smirked cheekily beside her

"The supreme experts legacy or a treasure room is being protected behind those formations!" Dan exclaimed and Mathias nodded his head and continued his exposition.

"That is indeed the case, but even though that Divine Emperor expert managed to see those formations. It was impossible for anyone to track the locations of those formations for they frequently shift in space, meaning. Only those that luckily stumbled upon the formations could have the chance to open them and reap all the rewards..."

Sweeping his gaze at Natalie, Grace and Dan who stared right into his figure with serious intent to listen. Mathias nodded his head in appreciation and satisfaction before clearing his throat and continuing.

"In that case, so that those formations could quickly be spotted within the independent space, each and every influences within the Continent of Dawn and the two other continents acquired the rights to send ten of their strongest disciples for an expedition and quest for that supreme expert's legacy and treasures. That's the reason why I invited all of you guys, to give you the chance of becoming the Paradyne Academy's representative in the Mystic Realm of the Undead."

Mathias smiled at them and Grace asked him a question: "If people with cultivation as low as the Divine Soul Realm could easily enter that place, why didn't those experts at the Divine Ascendance or the Divine Emperor Realm, enter that Mystic Realm themselves and explore it?" Grace's expression revealed curiosity and Mathias who heard her question beamed with a deeper smile than before.

But before Mathias could answer Grace's inquiry. Dan overtook him and answered, "The supreme expert that made that Mystic Realm should've placed a policy which prevents cultivators at the certain age or cultivation and above from entering that place..."

Mathias glanced at Dan with shock. Dan felt too confident with his words that it didn't seem like he was lying. And from the information that Mathias received from the headquarters. Dan's words matched the information that the headquarters bestowed upon Mathias.

Grace glanced at Dan for a moment before turning her line of sight at Mathias who nodded his head and said, "That is indeed the case, unless someone was below the age of 25 and below the cultivation of the Divine Ascendance Realm. It was impossible for them to enter and if they tried, the formations placed within the Mystic Realm would react to their presence and erase them from existence." Mathias casually said these words but it made the three feel cold in their hearts.

Formations established by a Divine Emperor Realm expert. They couldn't even imagine how powerful would those formations be. All they knew that once it located them as target for extinction. There's no way that they could resist. After hearing this far, Dan, Natalie and Grace finally understood the gravity of the situation.

"Enough of this talk shall we? I think that after I said this much, you three should know the gist about the Mystic Realm and how dangerous it is. How about it, still down for the challenge? Or would the three of you rather live a comfortable life without any danger and enemies to bother you..."

Mathias lifted an ambiguous smile on his lips, his eyes sparkled with a light that challenged each and everyone of the three. Inviting them to accept the lethal invitation of the god of death.

Natalie and Grace stared at Dan, when they became Dan's wives, they understood that he had the authority over them and they willingly gave up in submission to him with all of their hearts. Wherever he goes and whatever his decision, they would follow and stand beside him.

Dan stiffened like a statue and didn't reply to Mathias's question. His mind madly spun and analyzed all the factors and tallied all the information that he had. If he didn't accept Mathias's request, he could live a peaceful life with his wives and daughter but it would mean that he wouldn't see much of the world and eventually die in ignorance.

If he accepted Mathias's challenge, that would mean undertaking a huge risk and danger that not only endangered his life but the lives of his wives that followed and stood beside him all this time. They had experienced traumatic pasts and Dan wanted them to live a life where they could freely do whatever he wanted.

Stuck in a dilemma, beaded sweats dripped down Dan's forehead. Grace and Natalie who noticed his internal struggles stared at each other for a moment before sweetly smiling. Stretching their hands, they held both of Dan's hands and reassured him, saying.

"Dear, you don't have to worry that much about our safety. You do know that I have also been training myself hard so I can catch up to you. If you don't let me experience a baptism of blood and engage in an exchange of techniques that placed my life on the line, there's no way that I could improve..."

Natalie said in an affectionate manner and Grace who sat at Dan's left side also whispered into his left ears. Her voice soft and felt like a whisper of enticement.

"That's right, Dan. From the time that I became your slave, I already resolved myself to follow you even if that road is treacherous and filled with knives and flames. I'll do everything that I can so I can improve and continuously stay at your side, so please. We want you to accept the Headmaster's offer..."

Under Grace and Natalie's convincing. Dan who internally struggled finally opened his eyes that gleamed with the light of determination and ambition. Stretching his hand forward, he said with a confident tone in his voice.

"I, Dan Gabriel Longinus, along with my wives shall accept your offer, Headmaster. Please guide us!"
