Wilbur's gaze fell on the scroll. "A gift?"
"Yes. This scroll contains the Howl of the Banshee, and its user will be immune to its attack. It's pretty rare," smiled Zenith.
Even Wilbur was a little stunned.
The Howl of the Banshee was already a high-level skill, and terrifyingly powerful.
Even someone of the Sanctuary level, if caught off-guard, might have their soul crushed from its attack.
On top of that, the spell scroll was capable of releasing its power in the blink of an eye. That definitely made it good for surprise attacks.
Something like this was indeed extremely precious.
Next to Wilbur, Yumi was completely shocked as well.
The scroll was a weapon powerful enough to kill someone of the Sanctuary level. Why did the emperor gift it to Wilbur?
Wilbur reached out for the spell scroll, taking it from Zenith.
A powerful wave of spiritual energy came out of the spell scroll, silently entering Wilbur's body.
Zenith smiled. "Goodbye, young man."
He turned to leave after that, hunched over as he walked as if he was no different from any other old man.
Wilbur, however, understood that it was precisely people who were able to hide their true powers were the ones to be feared the most.
A while later, Yumi walked up to Wilbur carefully. "Do you know why he did this, Master?"
Wilbur tossed the scroll into his demiplane. "He's trying to tell us who's boss."
"Huh?" Yumi was a little confused.
Wilbur said, "He was fully capable of giving something so powerful away as a gift. That means he has even more terrifying stuff up his sleeves. This is just his way of showing me who's in charge here."
"And why would he need to do that?" Yumi asked, stunned by the revelation.
"I don't know, but it looks like he doesn't mean any harm," said Wilbur.
Yumi heaved a sigh of relief. No ill intent was the best they could wish for.
"Well, you can't live here anymore, Master. Shall I take you to a hotel?" asked Yumi.
