Chapter 40: Counterattack

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The plunder of a family clan’s luck had been introduced in the Luck-Plundering Technique. Its difference from the plunder of a person’s luck was that it did not require a very high cultivation base, but required the entire family clan’s luck to be used as a single unit before it could be performed. Furthermore, there were many limitations. If the luck of the other party’s family clan was too strong, then the success rate of plundering would decrease. Little Arthur was a very lucky person. Having such a person in the family would enable the luck of the family clan to be firmly held on to, and reduce the success rate of the other party’s clan-luck plundering technique. Therefore, the sneak attack on little Arthur during the day should have been carried out by them.
“I was still fretting over how to find you guys. Now that you’ve delivered yourselves to my door, let’s settle the scores together!”
Romo’s killing intent had risen immediately. He promptly connected with the System, wanting to borrow its power to finish off the other party.
[Ding, the host’s current Faith Points are not enough to completely neutralize this attack and kill the other party. The suggestion is that the host use another method to resolve this!]!!
At this moment, the System’s voice sounded. Romo was stunned. He did not have enough Faith Points; this made Romo a little dismayed. However, it did not matter. He still had other methods.
Romo immediately took out the precious tool he had obtained earlier, the Spirit Demon Talisman!
This Spirit Demon Talisman could temporarily raise Romo’s strength to the peak of the Spirit Demon realm. This was equivalent to the peak of the Great Archmage realm. Furthermore, it was able to break the restrictions of movement. It was Romo’s trump card. However, now that the other party had gone too far, not only did they want to kill Little Arthur, they also wanted to plunder the luck of the entire clan, this could no longer be tolerated. He had to kill them quickly.
Romo held the Spirit Demon Talisman in his hand and slapped it on his spirit body. Immediately, a powerful force poured into Romo’s body, causing his strength to rise steadily. He quickly broke through the Spectral Spirit realm and directly reached the Spirit Demon realm. He even continued to advance.
Level 1 Spirit Demon!
Level 2 Spirit Demon!
Level 3 Spirit Demon!
He only stopped after he had reached the peak of the Spirit Demon realm.
What powerful strength! What a familiar feeling!
Romo felt the surging power within his body and could not help but sigh. When he was alive, he was already at the peak of the Great Archmage realm, so he was not unfamiliar with such power. After sensing for a while, he had completely grasped his current strength.
[Warning, warning! The Protective Formation is under attack. It is estimated to be breached in 30 seconds!]
At this moment, the System notification sounded again. Romo snorted, and then his silhouette flickered. He vanished instantly. In the next moment, an illusory figure appeared in the sky above the Nicholas family. It exuded a dangerous aura. It was Romo!
Romo also knew the Luck-Plundering Technique. When he applied it, he immediately saw a stream of energy relentlessly attacking the Protective Formation. Every time it attacked, the Protective Formation would emit a burst of waves, and some of the Protective Formation’s energy would be sapped.
Romo looked toward the source of the attack and instantly discovered with shock that it had also originated from Winterfrost. And that location was actually the house of the Grimm family.
It was actually the Grimm family’s doing. It had long been known that their family clan was no good and had always been hostile towards the Nicholas family clan. Now, they even wanted to plunder the luck of their family clan. They were simply courting death!
Romo snorted. Then, his silhouette flickered and he turned into a beam of light flying toward the Grimm family!
At this moment, in the Grimm family, it was already late in the night. Basically, everyone in the family had gone to rest, except for the light coming from their ancestral hall. At this time, the ones in the ancestral hall were none other than the family head Maril Grimm and his only son, Cyril Grimm.
At this moment, he had drawn a strange and complex magic formation across the entire ancestral hall. There were a few eyes of the magic formation and more than ten glowing stones. These were actually precious Magic Stones. The entire Nicholas family clan only had five Magic Stones, but the Grimm family had used more than ten Magic Stones to support the magic formation to deal with the Nicholas family clan. It was really extravagant.
In the middle of the magic formation, there were two objects. One was an ancestral tablet with the words ‘Fenrir Grimm’ written on it. Fenrir Grimm was the old ancestor of the Grimm family clan, and he was also a powerful person who had reached the Great Archmage realm. The entire Grimm family clan had been founded by him. The other object was an urn, which contained Fenrir Grimm’s ashes.
This Maril Grimm is really ‘filial’. He has actually used the tablet and ashes of his old ancestor to perform the Luck-Plundering Technique on a family clan. Does he not know that if he failed, the ancestral tablet and ashes would be utterly shattered?!
At this moment, Maril Grimm was sitting in the center of the magic formation, holding a black wand of magical power in his hand. This wand was constantly radiating powerful magical waves, and it was actually a silver-tier magical weapon! Presently, Maril Grimm was using the silver-tier Magic Wand to control the entire formation and then attack the Nicholas family clan remotely to plunder their luck.
However, after attacking for five minutes, he still did not manage to plunder the luck of the family clan. He had used up more than half of the magical power within his body. This had caused some sweat to break out on his forehead.
What is going on? I’ve strictly followed what is written in the book, so why am I unable to succeed?
Maril became more anxious. He did not know that it was not that his previous attacks were ineffective but that they had struck the Protective Formation of the Nicholas family clan, and had been sapping the energy of the Protective Formation all along. Once the Protective Formation could be breached, he would be able to plunder the other party’s luck.
No, I can’t continue like this. I’ve already used up a significant amount of my magical power. If I can’t successfully plunder the other party’s luck before my magical power is exhausted, then it is a failure of the secret technique. The force of the backlash is not something I can withstand. I need the help of a new strength!
Maril thought worriedly and then, he turned to his son, Cyril Grimm, who was waiting anxiously by the side.
“Father, how is it? Have you succeeded?” Seeing his father open his eyes and look at him, Cyril Grimm immediately asked.
“Almost there, I need your help!” Maril said.
