319 You Won’t Be Able to Kill Me
Luvrela Region, Alselian City.
Lieutenant Joe was currently standing in the lookout tower, surveying the surroundings of the city.
At first, his expression was calm, but it changed when he saw Ace and the others heading toward his city.
Ace and the others wore armors, so he knew they were coming to his city for revenge.
That was why he left the lookout tower and rushed toward the city guard headquarters because it was a dangerous situation.
'I have to tell my lord about this.'
He ran toward the city guard headquarters as fast as possible.
At the same time, Aidan was kissing passionately with Lara. He was sitting on the office chair while she was on his lap, facing him.
Even though he still had not found a way to solve their problem with Nightshire City, he still did adult things with Lara because he needed her sexy body to calm his mind.
"Lara, how is it? Have you recruited an awakener at the Grandmaster rank?" Aidan asked after stopping the kiss.
"Yes, my lord. I have recruited one awakener at the Grandmaster rank and two at the Master rank." Lara told him that they would arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
"Haha. Good! Good!" Aidan laughed happily. "You are indeed my best secretary, Lara."
"Thank you for the praise, my lord." Lara responded.
"This time, we will de-" Aidan stopped his words halfway when someone suddenly knocked on his door. "My lord, it's me, Joe. I have someone important to report to you." Lieutenant Joe's voice rang out from the opposite side of the door.
Upon hearing Lieutenant Joe's words, Lara slid from Aidan's lap and stood behind him.
"Come in." Aidan responded.
After standing in front of Aidan, Lieutenant Joe uttered, "My lord, the citizens of Nightshire City are currently heading toward our city."
"The citizens of Nightshire City?" Aidan's face turned serious. "Do they want to take revenge on us?"
"I believe so, my lord." Lieutenant Joe said they were all wearing armors as if they wanted to attack Alselian City.
"How many troops do they have? Did that damn saintess and her subordinates come with them too?" Aidan inquired. "They have around six to seven thousand troops, my lord." Lieutenant Joe said he did not see Alicia and her subordinates among them.
"Then why are you panicking?" Aidan's serious face turned calm when he found out that Alicia and her subordinates did not come with them. Even though Ace was powerful, they had Kevin with them, so he believed Ace and the others would not be able to do anything to them.
"Lieutenant Joe, don't worry. We have sixteen thousand troops while they only have six to seven thousand people." Aidan uttered, "Our numbers are more than twice of theirs."
He then continued, "Not only that but our city is also protected by a powerful barrier. Our barrier can only be destroyed by awakeners at the Exalted rank and above. It's impossible for Ace to destroy it because Ace is only at the Grandmaster rank."
Lieutenant Joe immediately felt calm after hearing Aidan's words.
'My lord is right. I'm overreacting.'
Actually, he panicked because he saw Ace among them.
The rumors about Ace were so stupendous. That was why he subconsciously panicked when he saw Ace because some rumors said you would die if you fought him. Aidan rose to his feet and tapped Lieutenant Joe's right shoulder. "Let's go and welcome them."
Lieutenant Joe and Lara immediately followed him from behind.
The citizens of Alselian City were panicked when Aidan brought all his subordinates to the entrance gate.
They rushed toward their houses and immediately locked their doors.
Aidan put up a barrier several days ago, and now, he was bringing all his subordinates to the entrance gate.
They were sure a powerful organization was going to attack their city because Aidan would not put up a barrier if they were not facing a big problem.
As Aidan and his subordinates were heading to the entrance gate, Ace and the others were already in front of Alselian City.
They did not attack Alselian City immediately because a powerful barrier was protecting it.
"This barrier looks so strong." Lexie, who was behind Ace, spoke abruptly.
"Should we try destroying it now?" Colonel Louie inquired.
"It seems like Alselian City is afraid of us." Ace did not expect Aidan to put up a barrier.
When the city guards caught sight of Aidan, flames of anger instantly appeared in their eyes.
"It's Aidan!"
"That asshole killed many of our brothers and sisters."
"Yes. We have to avenge our brothers and sisters."
The desire to kill Aidan was so great.
Aidan had destroyed their city.
He also killed many citizens of Nightshire City, so they were about to explode with rage when they saw him.
Some of the city guards even kept clenching their fists as if they wanted to squeeze Aidan to death.
*Clip…Clop…Clip…Clop…Clip…Clop…
The sound of Ace's horse walking toward Aidan reverberated in the entire area.
Colonel Louie and the others followed him from behind when they saw Ace approaching Aidan.
Aidan, who was standing behind a barrier, uttered, "I believe this is our first meeting, Ace. Are you leading your people to attack my city?" "That's right." Actually, the flames of anger were boiling in Ace's body at this moment.
The person standing before him was the reason many citizens of Nightshire City lost their homes and families.
He was also the reason why Scarlett and Valeria fell into a coma. If he was asked about the person he wanted to kill most, then the answer would be Aidan.
His hatred for Aidan was even bigger than his hatred for Henry.
However, he suppressed the anger within him because he did not want to be controlled by his anger.
"I suggest you go back to your city now. Do you think you can kill me with just a few people?" Aidan did not show the slightest fear in his eyes because he believed nothing bad would happen to him.
"What makes you think I can't kill you?" Ace threw a question at Aidan. "Ace, I know you are a genius awakener. You are still young, yet you have broken through to the Grandmaster rank, but…" Aidan spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "…we also have an awakener at the Grandmaster rank here."
He then continued, "Not only that, but we have more people than you. Just go back to your city. You won't be able to kill me. It's impossible."
Ace shifted his gaze to Kevin when Aidan looked at Kevin.
'So, he is their strongest awakener, huh?'
He said in his head.
"Everyone, please step back. Let me destroy this barrier first." After saying that, a beautiful pair of ice wings formed behind Ace's back.
Aidan's subordinates immediately made fun of Ace when they saw him floating in mid-air.
"Wait! Does he really think he can destroy our barrier?" "Let him dream first. He will give up immediately when he realizes he won't be able to destroy our barrier." "I can't wait to see his hopeless expression."
"Me too."
"I'm sure it will be interesting."
"Haha."
One by one, they laughed at Ace.
"It's useless, Ace. You won't be able to destroy this barrier." Aidan still thought that Ace was an awakener at the Grandmaster rank.
"Is that so? Then let me test it first." Ace lifted his right arm forward and used Great Lightning Dragon magic.
Aidan and his subordinates were shocked when black clouds suddenly gathered above them.
Their shocked faces suddenly turned into fear when the head of the giant lightning dragon came out of the black clouds.
Some of them even fell to their knees and trembled non-stop because the giant lightning dragon looked like a grim reaper in their eyes.
"Was it this magic that he used to defeat the dragon?" Kevin mused.
'It can even make me like this.'
He looked at his right hand, which was shaking slightly.
Like Kevin, Aidan felt scared, too.
However, he suppressed the fear within him because he was the lord of Alselian City.
'How can he have such powerful magic?'
He skimmed his surroundings and checked his subordinates.
'Damn it!'
He gritted his teeth in annoyance when he saw his subordinates trembling in fear.
'I have to do something, or else it will be fatal to us.'
He could not continue to let his subordinates be in that miserable state, so he thought of a way to make them calm down. "Everyone, don't be scared." Aidan uttered, "Even though his magic is powerful, it won't be able to destroy our barrier."
"Our lord is right, everyone. Calm down. That magic won't be able to destroy our barrier."
"That's right. We should not be afraid."
"Yes. It's impossible for him to destroy our barrier."
"You are right. Our barrier is strong. It won't get destroyed easily."
One by one, Aidan's subordinates managed to overcome their fear after hearing his words.
Aidan was thrilled when his subordinates could regain their morale.
'Good!'
He then returned his attention to Ace.
'But can our barrier really withstand that magic?'
Actually, he was not sure whether their barrier could withstand Ace's magic or not because Ace's magic looked so powerful. 'No. I'm sure our barrier can withstand his attack.'
He tried to calm himself. "You guys keep saying your barrier is strong, or I won't be able to destroy your barrier." Ace uttered, "Now open your eyes wide because I'm going to show you how weak your barrier is."
"Show them, Ace!"
"Show them how powerful you are, Ace."
One by one, Colonel Louie's subordinates said.
"Destroy it." Ace uttered.
