Chapter 565: As The Lord Wishes
Leo, Naelith, and Thalvyr sharply turned towards the voice, only to see nearly 10 men clad in soldier armour rushing towards them with swords in their hands.
Twwnnng...
Naelith immediately summoned her bow and drew an arrow, not having a second thought about acting in Leo’s defence.
Skrrt...
Thalvyr followed suit, drawing the spear slung across his back and taking a stance. The spear was even taller than Thalvyr’s 8’ (2.43 meters) frame, measuring almost 3 meters in length.
Leo, meanwhile, remained calm, quietly observing the situation.
The slut, the cuck, and the cucker.
Leo immediately recognised three of them—Hilda, Nirvan, and Vulcan.
Behind them stood two more people clad in fine armour similar to that of the captain who had escorted Leo here. However, they were stronger—one was a High 3-star, while the other was a Low 4-star.
"Hahahaha! So you really have the guts!" Nirvan burst into loud laughter.
Naturally, many people had gathered because of the commotion and were confused about what was happening.
"Stand back!" Thalvyr roared, sweeping his spear in warning.
The soldiers instinctively backed away, but one unlucky soldier was struck by the spear’s shaft and launched into the distance, blood and snot spilling freely from his orifices.
Thalvyr was taken aback and looked back at Leo as if trying to say he hadn’t meant to hurt them.
Leo simply waved a hand, reassuring him that it was fine.
"You dare resist the count’s orders! You are just making your fate worse," Nirvan hissed.
Vulcan also joined in.
"You really are the same fucker who teamed up with the dragons to defeat us by cheating!"
"Yes! Young Master Vulcan, Young Master Nirvan! Not only is this person so cunning and sides with humanity’s enemies, but even his slaves go around the city cheating shop owners with their mental abilities! And this man even allows them to use their powers!"
Suddenly, a person came running from the side of the crowd.
"Young Masters! This man is very cruel! He even intentionally fed my men to Kobolts while watching with mocking eyes! He made us suffer so much! He deserves execution!"
Another voice suddenly rang out. Leo turned to look.
It was Altab, the guy who had told Leo to remember his name.
"Oi, oi, aren’t you digging your grave deeper with all these crimes in the Ember family’s land? Trust me, whatever awaits you is worse than death! Isn’t that right, Vulcan?"
Vulcan looked back at Nirvan with a disgusted expression.
"Don’t call me by my name, you waste. But I have to agree on this. This man is too outrageous for his own good."
He looked back at Leo.
His eyes practically screamed revenge for the humiliating defeat he had suffered at the hands of the dragons.
Nirvan ignored the comment and focused only on Naelith.
Just let me get my hands on you. I’ll keep you tied up in the basement!
He then looked towards the last obstacle standing in his way.
"Not even your academy will be able to save you!" Nirvan shouted.
He turned towards the hesitant guards.
"What the fuck are you people doing?! Go arrest him!"
He then looked at the captains.
"Captain Imoose, Captain Jacob! Go help your men arrest him and his slaves!"
"Gladly! For Ember City!" Captain Imoose declared with a wide grin as he rushed forward, his eyes locked onto Naelith.
"Captain Jacob! I’ll get this elf—you get that Lizardman!"
"I’ll help!" Altab shouted with a similar crazed smile as he drew his sword and charged towards Leo from the side.
But Vulcan noticed that only Imoose had rushed forward.
"Captain Jacob! What are you—"
Vulcan stopped when he noticed Jacob’s condition.
Jacob was literally trembling on his feet while staring at the trio before him with wide, horrified eyes.
"H-ho-how c-can a freshman b-be this strong...?" he muttered as every trace of colour drained from his face after realising what kind of man must be protecting this prodigy from the shadows.
As a Low 4-star individual, he could clearly tell that both the elf and the Lizardman were Low 4-star—and actually stronger than him. As for Leo, he was literally at the cusp of High 4-star.
Meanwhile, Gunther had already communicated with Leo telepathically and learned about the situation.
Eh? Has Ashton lost his mind? Making enemies with you?
Gunther knew Ashton’s personality. He was the kind of man who would actually throw away a few of his own sons to establish positive relations with a prodigy like Leo.
Yet not only was Ashton trying to sour his relationship with Leo, but he was also doing so over a matter in which the Ember family themselves were in the wrong.
Do whatever you want. I’ll handle things later.
Gunther gave Leo free rein.
Leo’s grin widened, but he had already decided not to move a single muscle.
"Naelith, Thalvyr, I don’t want a single person within 5 meters of me."
With that said, he summoned an ice cream dessert he had stored earlier and casually took a scoop.
"As the Lord wishes!!" both responded enthusiastically.
Naelith released the arrow she had already drawn, while Thalvyr swept his spear in a long arc. The spear’s reach somehow increased even further under the aura extension he infused into it.
Thuk! Thuk! Thuk! Thuk!
A series of heavy impacts followed the sweeping strike.
"AAAGGGHHHHH!!"
Over.
All 9 remaining soldiers were knocked away, sent flying into the distance. A single sweep had broken countless bones throughout their bodies.
As for Imoose, he lay on the ground clutching his impaled thigh, crying out in agony.
Altab himself had frozen in place after witnessing the scene. He wasn’t hurt simply because he had been charging from the far side.
Leo hadn’t even taken a single bite of his ice cream yet.
"Nice control, Naelith. That guy didn’t deserve to have his legs amputated for following the commands of some worthless young masters."
Thud!
Jacob collapsed onto his rear after witnessing the scene, while Hilda, Nirvan, and Vulcan were left utterly speechless.
Vulcan was the first to recover.
"C-Captain Jacob! What are you doing!?" He became furious seeing Jacob so scared.
"Tsk! I will get you expelled from the castle!"
He sharply clicked his tongue in annoyance and looked back at Leo.
"Now you’ve done it!"
Vulcan flew into a rage, and suddenly a figure materialised behind him.
It stood 4 meters tall and measured 10 meters from head to tail, bearing the form of an Earth Dragon.
The same beast Leo had killed before—but this one was considerably weaker.
Pyroclast Drake (Mid 3-star) — Super Bloodline
Leo’s smile widened.
"Isn’t that the same beast that ran away with its tail tucked between its buttcheeks?" Leo mocked with a laugh.
When the dragons had begun fighting him, Leo had actually seen this beast secretly flee the realm to reunite with Vulcan.
"Let’s see how it fares against my beast," Leo said, raising his one hand up.
