Chapter 1563: Hunter and Prey 3
"No! Don't listen to him! We kill him and keep moving!" Novoa was ready to make her move anytime, but one of her cousins stopped her.
Dinesen Valentine was a descendant of the branch family of Valentine. He was strong compared to his peers, but he could never beat the descendant from the main family. The main family of Valentine's bloodline was the closest to their progenitor, Primal Vampire.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not be stronger than those from the main family. Even when he asked for an upgraded bloodline for the Demi-God's trial, he was still below Novoa who came from the main family.
The only way to break the shackle was to acquire a new bloodline, a stronger bloodline than his thin Primal Vampire. For someone who awakened his innate bloodline like him. The only way to change his bloodline was to acquire a Primal Bloodline through the inheritance bloodline ritual. He could not change his bloodline with the blood essence. It must be through the ritual, and he wanted a Primal Bloodline.
The dream of acquiring Primal Bloodline was only through this trial. But that dream was impossible. Even someone as strong as Novoa did not have that big hope to get second place, let alone the first place.
Just as he thought he could not get what he wanted, Dinesen heard the rumor about the Nirvana Alliance's bounty. Even though he did not really like the Nirvana Alliance, the reward for the bounty was too tempting to refuse. In fact, that might be the only chance for him to acquire the Primal Bloodline.
"Let me listen to your plan first."
Dinesen made up his mind. This was his chance to change his fate. His brother seemed to have the same thought as him as they exchanged glances and nodded.
"Good. There's no plan yet, but I know where Tang Shaoyang is. Before we start making a plan, I think it will be better if we gather more people first. He is a Spirit Contractor, and he has around seventeen spirits? Around that number. We need at least thirty people to fight him!"
Mourad did not know how many spirits Tang Shaoyang summoned. The moment he saw Tang Shaoyang summoned the spirits. He did not have a second thought to abandon his party. But he was sure it was more than ten spirits, around fifteen maybe. He said seventeen because it was more convincing than saying it was fifteen.
"I am not really sure, and he might keep a few secrets from me. But we need more people to fight him!"
"Don't even try to fight him, Dinesen! Iversen! You guys can't kill him no matter how many people you gather!" her bad feeling came true.
Unless they could gather at least a hundred people, she did not think they could kill Tang Shaoyang. The bigger problem was how they split the reward? Only one person received the reward, and the reward was just two things: A set of God Rank artifacts, and a Primal Bloodline.
"No! This is our chance, Novoa. You can't stop us!" Dinesen had made up his mind to fight the Spirit Contractor. His chance was small to obtain the kill, but the chance was still higher than trying to get to second place in this trial.
"You fool! The reward is for one person, so how are you going to split the reward?"
Dinesen and Iversen just realized the most crucial thing in the cooperation. That was right, the reward was just for one person. It was not like they all would get the reward just because they were working together.
"The kill! Whoever lands a killing blow on Tang Shaoyang will get the reward. We will make an agreement and also take an oath as we gather people. I am also just trying my luck here," Mourad smiled assuringly.
"I will join you!" The brothers decided to join Mourad in the plan to kill Tang Shaoyang. Then they turned toward their cousin, "Join with us, Novoa. There's no harm in participating in the hunt. The more people, the higher our chance to kill Tang Shaoyang! No, we need you! You are in the same batch as him. You should know more about him than any of us. We need the information, Novoa!" Dinesen pressured Novoa.
"Ah, right. Do you want to know about him? You are trying to kill him is the same as you are trying to kill yourself! He killed seven Administrators effortlessly. SEVEN ADMINISTRATORS!" Novoa raised her voice. She was not trying to scare her cousins, but she tried to save them.
"Seven Administrators against Tang Shaoyang. They all died and the last Administrator activated the emergency measure. That was why my brother became an overseer from my batch. He came through the emergency measures!"
They were shocked when they heard seven administrators were killed. The most shocking part was that Tang Shaoyang fought them seven against one. One or two or maybe even three sounded possible. But seven administrators sounded exaggerated. That was what Mourad believed. She lied so her friends did not join him. Of course, Mourad would not let that happen.
"Hmmm... I know you care about them, Lady. But you don't need to exaggerate your story. He might kill two or three Administrators, but seven?" Mourad shook his head.
Dinesen and Iversen furrowed their brows, looking at Novoa suspiciously. They trusted Novoa more than Mourad. However, her story just did not make sense.
"I know Spirit Contractor is strong. That's the reason why the Nirvana Alliance targets people with that class. Because that class could break the balance, but in the end, Tang Shaoyang is just a rookie like us."
The two vampires believed Mourad more than Novoa at this point. They were aware that their cousin was worried about them. She lied because she did not want them in danger. Their hearts warmed, but they were determined to take their chance here. This was one of the rare chances they might not encounter in the rest of their lives.
Novoa understood why her cousin did not believe her because she was the same if she was in the same position. It sounded unbelievable, but she witnessed everything with her eyes.
She let out a sigh, "I will join the team too but with a condition." The condition was for her cousins, not Mourad. She then glanced at Mourad, "Can you give us a private space?"
Mourad smiled and nodded.
"I will do my best to assist you guys, but with one condition. Don't put yourself at unnecessary risk. If later you find out that you can't kill Tang Shaoyang, I want you to surrender. That's my condition."
Iversen and Dinesen exchanged glances. They realized that Novoa's concern for them was genuine.
"Yes!" The brother agreed with the condition.
