Chapter 160 – Servitude.
On one hand, there was a path to escape the death that had always been plaguing him as a child of heaven.
But if he was to swear loyalty to Dante, then that was it.
At that point, he had to truly admit to himself that he Placed Dante a level above him.
He had to admit to himself that he could never catch up to this person he once considered his rival!
With conflicted eyes, Klent stared at the eerily smiling Dante.
"Dante. I…I choose to-"
But before Klent could even finish his sentence, there was a terrifying thunderclap in the sky!
The sky seemed to rage as a terrifying storm of air picked up around Klent and Dante, dragging the surrounding trees into the air.
The sky was raging!
The earth was torn asunder!
The heavens were furious!
The fury that the heavens was experiencing right now was simply indescribable.
The heavens had felt that the anomaly could still be of use to it.
That\'s the only reason it had finally released the restrictions it had placed on him and granted the full effect of the child of heaven.
But now this very same anomaly that the heavens had pardoned was tying to rebel!
All children of heaven knew the rules.
The victor takes everything! To fail is to face death!
As fellow Children of heaven, Klent and Dante Knew this better than anyone else.
In fact, they could hear it.
From the roaring wind, to the very earth below their feet, it was all crying out.
\'Kill him!\'
\'The winner takes all!\'
But this all didn\'t seem to affect Dante.
Instead of panicking, when faced with the furious phenomena of the Heavens, Dante merely laughed as he looked towards the sky
"Haha! Didn\'t I tell you this from the start?"
"It was never your place to force your instructions on me! You\'re the one who needs me in the first place."
"crackle! Crackle!"
As a result of Dante\'s words, pitch-black clouds started to fill the sky as ominous crackles of thunder could be heard up above.
But even when faced with this phenomenon, Dante didn\'t falter and still stared fearlessly at the sky.
"BANG!"
suddenly, a deafening explosion of thunder could be heard as a ray of light blasted down between Dante and Klent.
But Instead of dealing any damage to the both of them, this thunderbolt had a much stranger effect.
Instantly the halo of light only signature to children of heaven suddenly flared up behind Dante and Klent.
It was due to this the effects unique to Children of Heaven seemed to be madly stimulated, causing that included the emotions that came with it.
All of a sudden, Klent found his mind overwhelmed with emotions of anger and fury!
As he looked at Dante, his image quickly became more and more displeasing.
\'This is the man! The man who forced me to such a desperate state!\' Thought Klent.
\'This is the man that forced me to die!"
Slowly Klent reached for the sword at his waist as his now red eyes, burning with hatred, glared menacingly at Dante.
But before Klent could even complete this, he found a cruel pair of Draconic eyes staring straight at him.
"Now now Klent. Let\'s not do anything you\'ll come to regret now, shall we?"
although Dante\'s words might sound quite kind, the ice-cold tone he spoke in hinted at the terrifying consequences he could be alluding to.
And for Klent, once he heard it, it was like having a bucket of ice-cold water poured on him.
His mind instantly cleared as his movements froze.
It was at that moment that Klent realised it.
he was simply no longer Dante\'s match.
All this time that he thought the distance between them was shortening, he couldn\'t be further from the truth.
Had been growing, but Dante had simply been growing at an unbelievable rate.
In addition to this, as Klent kept on chasing after Dante and setting him as his goal, he didn\'t notice that, slowly but surely, he had been slowly placing Dante on a pedestal.
While this might not show any effects initially, but as the distance between them widened the pedestal Dante was placed on only continued to rise and rise until suddenly, Klent\'s subconsciously started to consider himself beneath him.
Klent didn\'t know when, but somewhere along the line he actually considered himself beneath Dante.
It was only his pride and hubris that refused to admit it.
He himself had already subconsciously come to accept it.
Dante was simply levels above him.
he was simply in a place he could never hope to reach.
So with a pair of tired and defeated eyes, Klent looked towards Dante as he weakly spoke.
"Dante, I… I…
I choose to serve you."
It was at that moment that these words left Klent\'s mouth that his power of will,
The same will that had carried himself through his three-year cultivation bottleneck,
his same seemingly unbreakable willpower collapsed!
in face of this unbelievable talent, Klent simply realised that there was no hope.
Seeing this sight Dante felt conflicted.
He had just shattered the poor boy\'s hopes and dreams
But even so, Dante didn\'t regret it.
he knew that this was the only way forward for the both of them.
As Children of heaven, they can only afford to become the strongest, so there were only two possible outcomes for losers.
Servitude or Death.
Dante had simply chosen the lesser of two evils
But even so, Dante didn\'t want Klent to lose all hope and soon spoke out.
"trust me Klent, one day you\'ll look back on this as the wisest decision you have made in your life!"
but one person who clearly didn\'t share the same enthusiasm as Dante was the heavens.
As soon as Dante\'s words left his mouth, a terrifying atom of thunder and lightning smashed into the ground around him.
Seeing this crazy scene around him, Dante just stared ahead with a wide smile on his face as He looked into the sky.
