Chapter 291 Games with Grandpa

?Knowing this guy's tenacity, Rio didn't want to waste his time torturing him for weeks to learn some basic information.

Not to mention by then whatever this guy can tell him would be much less worth then the amount of points he would've wasted on keeping other gods away.

Even now his system was spending points every second to stop the gods from sneaking glances or sensing this old grandpa's secrets.

So he decided to try some other method. Plain old carrot and stick.

"Let's play a game." Rio said and motioned the old man to sit on a chair.

But then turned out laughing loudly when he found out that the old man had no butt to sit upon.

Only his top body had formed before Apollo cut off the connection with Leon's soul and knocked him out, so this oldie's soul couldn't suck the protagonist dry.

The old man flicked his sleeves and glared at Rio with fierce eyes as the furniture in the entire room got turned to powder and disappeared. "I've had enough of your insults young boy, just cause you know some tricks don't think you can keep me here. Believe it or not, I can end your life before your next heartbeat."

"It has been nearly seven centuries, yet your arrogance hasn't decreased by even a dotdot, ehh Francius Kameira. The flame emperor. Ruler of lava. Champion of the Hellscape's tower."

"You know me?" The old man finally felt something wrong when he heard the young boy mention everything about him. But just when he thought enough, Rio's words caused his body to stiffen up again.

"And the minion of Myorbaksh."

Rio spoke his name and titles and even his deep seated secret one by one in a calm tone.

And seeing the changing expressions on the old man's face, a smile grew on Rio's face.

"How? _ How do you know that?" Francius asked in hesitation as he tried to sense the presence of any gods or demons in this room, so he can silence Rio to maintain his secrets.

"I know everything about you, Francius. What you want, need and work for. Everything." Rio said and continued. "Now I'll ask again for the last time, let's play a game."

Francius looked at him but didn't reply, he just pinched his fingers and closed his eyes as golden symbols formed in the air and floated all around his wrists.

[Told you, this'll be useless if you can't beat him senseless.]

His system said with a smile, and Rio could just stay silent.

"See, simple does it." Rio gave a hearty smile and nodded his head.

"What's the game? And it's rules?" Francius asked impatiently, in no mood for chit chat with this guy.

"It's simple, we both ask each other what we want to know and we answer honestly. In the end, I'll let you go." Rio said and looked at the old man "How about it? We'll swear some oaths so you don't lie."

"I won't teach you any of my skills. Swear upon it." Francius said first before Rio could twist his words and bind him into a mana oath.

"Fine, I won't ask about any of your skills or magic tricks." Rio just shook his head and acted as if he did nothing.

A silver chain of binding covered both of them, as they agreed to play this game after settling down on a few other terms.

"How did you know who I was? Who told you that?" Francius asked first.

"Well, I see that you agreed then." Rio said and continued "Everything I know about you was written in a book, which I just found by luck one day."

Checking through his eyes that the boy in front of him was telling the truth, Francius nodded his head. And wanted to ask where is that book now, but Rio interrupted him first.

"My turn now. Show me three of your skills - magic of Minerva, art of Aether and Hell spawn." Rio made his request.

'Since I refuse to teach him, does he think he can copy them after seeing it once?' Francius thought but still approved of this request.

He had full confidence that copying his supreme magic was impossible.

After that one by one Francius used his top skills for a few seconds randomly without any explanation.

Magic of Minerva which taught him the word magic and soul casting.

Art of Aether which taught him fighting without mana, aura or any other energy. The best skill to use in towers, where the risk of EMSY is always high.

Then finally, Hell spawn, the lava magic he himself created, which made it possible for him to survive in the towers of extreme heat and hell, and clear them.

Seeing all these skills Rio got nothing in his head, but a headache. But he didn't need to copy them or understand their principles in one go.

'System, you got it, right buddy?' He asked his system.

[Of course. Recorded in HD from all angles.] System spoke back and smiled for what was to come for this old man.

'I wonder how much he'd come to regret this moment later on.. Poor soul.'
