Chapter 33: The three Great Evil!

Whittaker's head started to ache so much as if horses were stomping his face. The temple of light was enough, but now, three more have joined in on the fun. "...."!

For a split second, he thought that Shadow is pranking him, but the sadness and other emotions in Shadow eyes were too real to ignore. He thought, 'Probably, something sad happened to Shadow in the past. Sigh ~ Who did I offend in my previous life? Maybe it was wrong to use the sword to kill the Luna wolf with my rainbow sword. I should have followed the skill description and only butchered chickens and pigs!'

Whittaker didn't get the chance to visit the library as he wanted to make money, so he also didn't know anything about the seven great Evil.

"Obtain me... it is also because of my sword, right? More importantly, what even are the seven great Evil?" Whittaker wanted to know about the dangers to his life, as it was clear from Shadow words that he was a mere item for three of the Seven Great Evil!

Shadow's eyes showed a mixture of complicated emotions and he replied after a nod, "Let me explain. The Seven Great Evils are the worst criminals in the world. The Seven Great Evils refers to three Guilds, two palaces, one terrorist organization, and one person who is also called the Ruined King! All of them are criminals wanted by all the Associations in the Awakened continent. Their hands are tainted by the blood of the innocents. They have killed a lot of people whether it be nobles or commoners!"

Shadow gaze intently at Whittaker and continued by saying, "Listen carefully! You need to look out for the terrorist organization, Sypinxz, and the two palaces, the Demon Palace and the Palace of the Seven Sins more than the temple of light! If they found out about your blood attribute class weapon then they will relentlessly chase after you. To obtain you they will even attack the Academy or go as far as to take hostage everything you cherish!" Shadow said, hinting at the bigger picture. His hand was trembling as rage and sadness swelled up in his eyes. From the depth of his heart, he hated the two palaces and Sypinxz!

Whittaker thought, 'Because of me, my family can be threatened! I will never allow that!'

Looking right into Shadow eyes, he asked,

"Can you tell me why they would want to obtain me?"

Shadow replied, "You are the perfect candidate for the Sypinxz to recruit as the Brainless demon vessel as you are a commoner with two High-ranked Class weapons. While the two Palaces has a business of trafficking S-ranked Class weapons. They are supported by peoples in power! They capture peoples like you who have S-ranked Class weapons, and by using their demonic methods, they permanently withdraw the Class weapons from the Soul space! Moreover, you are a commoner with no backing. So, your life will be threatened the moment information about your S-ranked Class weapon is exposed."

The demonic method could only work on S-ranked. Using the demonic method, a person can extract S-rank Class weapons from another person's soul space. While this demonic method can not work on Lower ranked Class weapons as they will shatter during the extraction process.

Whittaker finally comprehended the dangers he can be exposed to if the information about his class weapon spread. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind!

"Wait, how did you know that I am a commoner?" Whittaker exclaimed, gazing at Shadow with apprehension.

Shadow's eyes blinked, oh, I said too much!

"It wasn't hard to realize it as you are like an open book. You joined the Royal Frost Fall Academy one week after the others and you don't know much about this world. Only mistreated son of nobles that are born out of wedlock or commoners that live in the countryside don't have basic information about the world." Shadow hurriedly said that to instantly curb any misgivings that Whittaker has about him.

Whittaker felt a stab of pain, was he so dumb that his background was obvious to Shadow, or is it that Shadow is a genius? There's no way he is dumb so it gotta be the other way around!

He counter-attacked as he still had one last suspicion, "Hmm, why do you believe that I am a commoner and not a mistreated noble born out of Wedwhatever?!"

Shadow's rage disappeared because of the dumb yet smart kid. The two kids sat face to face and chilly snowflakes started to descend from the clouded night skies.

Shadow replied, "They will never trust another person and will be cautious about exposing even a tiny bit of advantage that they have. But you had acted differently from them."

Whittaker thought, 'Hell no, I have a bigger secret that not even you know, not even the academy headmaster know!'

But his emotion remained the same, one of shock. He was shocked at Shadow's intelligence. His roommate connected dots from the tidbits of information and found about his humble background!

"Anyways, You don't need to put a guard against me. I am the Son of Water Dragon Region Duke, Shadow William. You are a subject of this kingdom and as a royal, I will perform my responsibility and do everything in my power to keep you away from harm!"

Whittaker exclaimed in surprise while pointing at Shadow, "You are a royal?!"

Shadow replied with a slight smile, "Yeah, I am!"
