There was another reason why Neo wanted to talk to Nathan alone.
"Give me your Shadow Spell."
"W-what?"
Nathan's glare was useless thanks to his teary eyes.
"You should know no family shares their Spell to the outsiders!
"I… I won't give it to you! I'd rather die!"
Nathan shivered, not from the pain, but from the thought of what would his family to do him if he leaked the Spell.
Neo could take him time increasing the pain to force the Spell out of Nathan.
However, he didn't like torturing people and he had a faster method.
"You'd rather die?"
Neo's smile sent chills down Nathan's spine.
The temperature plummeted.
Nathan's teeth clattered and he sensed something was wrong.
He looked below…
The darkness beneath Neo's feet moved
It wasn't a shadow.
Nathan would've detected it with his Shadow Affinity if it was.
"D-darkness element! Why can you use that accursed power?!"
The darkness stretched.
"What are you going to do to me!?"
"Nothing much," Neo answered. "But if you would rather die, I hope you will let me eat you."
Nathan was unable to retort.
He felt true fear for the first time in his life.
As someone who delved into a dark-type element, he knew what being devoured by Darkness meant.
"You wouldn't da-dare. The teachers won't let you."
"They don't care if students die. Why would they care if I consume a soon-to-be dead participant?
"Of course, if you were from a Great God Clan, they might've protected you. But I don't think you are?"
Nathan tried to get away from Neo's grip.
However, the pain made him unable to put strength into his limbs.
He soiled his clothes.
"Talk quickly. I don't have time to waste on you."
Neo's cold words made Nathan lose all hope.
He stopped struggling and opened his mouth.
"I have a Whisper-ranked Shadow Insect Summon Spell and an Echo-ranked Shadow Knight Summon Spell. It's…"
Neo listened to the explanation carefully.
After memorizing the details, he tried to use the Spell.
He failed miserably.
He couldn't sense his Shadow Affinity at all.
'I can't trigger the Spell since I haven't awakened my Shadow affinity yet.'
'tsk, I was hoping to use the Shadow Summons to help me in the battles.'
When Nathan saw Neo standing silently, he spoke,
"I… It's not a fake Spell. I swear if you give it to a Shadow User they will be able to use the Shadow Insect Summon Spell immediately.
"The Shadow Knight Summon Spell might need a bit of training—"
"What about the other Spell?"
Neo interrupted.
"…?"
"You kidnapped Felix right under our nose."
"I-It was my friend who did—Arghh!"
The Death Mark on Nathan's neck flared.
"It was me! It was me! So, stop!"
Nathan panted.
He explained.
The Spell, Shadow Snare, was a Whisper-ranked Spell.
