Chapter 730 Learning About The Cult



According to Leo's legion, for anyone to do such a big thing, he had to obtain a spirit that was both evil and had affinity with fate and destiny. William knew that the Nightmare monster originated from the nine tailed fox. And the latter got tons of abilities and powers.

He never expected that his nemesis would seize such a scary power. And what made him quite disappointed was the fact that no one without such affinity would be able to make any use of the knowledge of the Cult.

That simply meant he couldn't make any use at all with the knowledge he was going to learn. This was something that made him feel quite frustrated. How come his sworn enemy had such an edge advantage at him, while he got nothing at all to fight back?





William didn't get much information about the mysterious ways this Cult used, only learnt about the common name everyone used to refer to, The Mystic Arts!

It was another new term that William didn't know. Aside from this, the members of Leo's legion were speaking about a few of their missions, their bad circumstances, and how they were living through hard times thanks to Leo's frequent bad decisions.

William learnt a lot about Leo and how he used to perform tasks. He wasn't the type to settle with half assed solutions, always moving out to solve problems starting out from the roots. He was bold and never feared to use the deadliest methods to deal with the impending crisis.

This ended up bringing tons of trouble to him, and William could understand the reasons behind the harsh attitude of the Cardinals of the Cult.

For example, they killed a million souls to purge a curse. And that was just part of the pile of problems Leo brought with his legion to the Cult.

Such problems were all thanks to the inner code of the Cult. For example, speaking about the Cult's secrets to anyone from outside was a grave sin. And that explained why he acted this way with William.

But William also learnt a little useful information. For example, he learnt that any attempt to mess with fate and destiny was something known as a curse. And all curses had bad effects on the people and monsters living in the area affected by it.

William got that when they spoke about the recent curse they just purged, the one of the black clouds. They spoke about how nasty such a curse was, and how lucky they were as the masters affected by it weren't in large numbers to begin with.

That made the strength of this curse much weaker, a thing that William knew it happened out of luck, or thanks to the black fox's earlier warning.

William didn't know if the black fox was aware of these Mystic Arts and curses, or it was just a matter of coincidence. On top of that, he learnt something else that made him unable to wipe that wide smile off his face.

"So, they have to find the culprit behind it, or else their mission won't be over… Interesting," William muttered to himself, realising that his earlier request was going to get approved by the Cardinals in the end.

He just thought of using a chip to bargain with Leo and the force behind him. William never knew that what he said to Leo was something extremely important to them. And when he thought about it, he knew this made sense.

After all the ones who were able to interfere and affect the fate and destiny wheels were able to repeat this again. And that would add more work and problems to the Cult.

William initially thought this legion was one of the few in the Cult. Yet from what he heard, he learnt that there were hundreds of such legions, and they spread all over the world.

It just happened for them to be the closest to this region, and that gave them hope to evade the expected heavy punishment of their last messed up task.

William heard lots of things that he didn't understand. They were speaking about items they used, calling them the black artefacts. They were supposed to be things used to stop any curse, helpful in dealing with the troublesome folks who stood behind these dirty acts.

William initially thought the ones doing this were all dark masters or monsters. But he eventually realised that the ones who were doing this weren't branded like this. Instead, they were seen as Cursers, a name that seemed to have a huge infamy among people from the Cult.

William kept listening to different stories, which he didn't understand most of. During which, Leo and his legion leaders were silently watching all this without interfering or stopping their people.

In fact, Leo instructed others, in a subtle way, to speak about such things and teach William little about their way of living. To him, this would save lots of trouble later on, and would help to make William more familiar with all this.

The march took five days before reaching their destination. The legion members didn't rest in the middle, kept walking, fighting monsters whenever they met them, and chatted among each other all the time.

William helped a little in fighting monsters, not as a token of good will of his, but to learn more about their ways in fighting. Yet to his disappointment, they fought like any normal master, using common spirit elements and techniques.

"Don't be surprised, we are masters before all this, hahahaha!" The impression Leo and others got from William's face was a bit funny.

They were strong indeed, not to mention they got lots of dark gold masters, and the rest were all gold grade. They were adept at working and fighting together, and that added more to their overall strength.

William took such little details to heart. It seemed these masters were a strong force, unknown and hidden from the eyes of most masters and monsters. Only those who would stir up trouble with fate and destiny wheels would get to know them.
