Chapter 383: *I gave you my word*
Erik then winked at Alan, and he immediately activated his Stage 2. The mercenaries in front of them took a few steps back as if by pure reflex, and then they heard them stammering to each other, "An Absolute Warrior!"... "It’s an Absolute Warrior!"... "What the hell are we doing now? I don’t want to die here!"... "Me neither!"...
Alan then said to his brother, "I can’t wait to see this. Are there any weird symbols appearing on your body too?"
Kelan then joined him and told him, "No, not weird symbols, but his eyes are turning silver. At the beginning, there were only silver filaments around him, but since he learned to master this ability, these filaments have become a real silver aura that is surrounding his body."
Alan then watched his twin brother activate his ability, and when he saw the powerful silver aura emanating from him now, he whistled in admiration and said to him, feeling his new power, "Not bad, bro, but not as cool as my man!"
Nolan then said to him, "Maybe, but I can kick your ass easily using this ability."
Kelan then said to them, "Well, brothers, I would like to join my man as soon as possible, so what do we do? Do we just send them back to your in-laws, or do we pay them a visit and let them know that when a Lan has set his sights on someone, that person has no chance of escaping, let alone being kidnapped?"
Erik then said to them, as he had just had a vision, "We won’t need to intervene; the Sun Sect leaders will take care of it for us."
Alan then quickly said to him, "Crap, get back to normal quickly!"
Erik looked at him and shrugs his shoulders, "Why? Tomorrow we will all fight together, and they will see me and Kevin using our Warrior Spirit skill, so there is no need to hide anymore."
Alan didn’t want too many people to know about Erik and the fact that he was a Warrior Spirit because, like the bearer of the Pentagram Mark here, the Absolute Warrior, as they called him, was at the top of the food chain. He didn’t want power-hungry people trying to use his innocent man.
But Erik was also right, and tomorrow everyone would know, and he really didn’t like it, so he gritted his teeth because this situation displeased him greatly. Erik then took his hand and said, "Everything will be fine, you will see."
Just then, 5 people appeared: 2 men and 2 women who were the leaders, along with Liam, of the Sun Sect and Douglas, who had come with one of the men.
The latter then said furiously while looking at the mercenaries, "You really believe that you can penetrate the territory of the Sun Sect as you like without exposing yourselves to reprisals?"
Nolan immediately deactivated his ability, and he looked at the man accompanying Douglas, "Garry, what took you so long to intervene? Good thing I asked you to keep an eye on Ashton."
Garry smiled and said to him, "I’m sorry, but we were busy planning for tomorrow night, and Sandra and I had added extra protection to your pavilion. Why do you think Ashton is still not out? It’s because we both added our force fields to yours. Ashton could never have been in danger; I gave you my word."
Nolan and Garry knew each other well because they had often fought together on the border, and even though Garry was from his father’s generation and Douglas’, they both got along very well. That’s also why he had managed to be transferred to the Sun Sect in less than a week.
Garry then said to him, "Don’t worry, we will take care of them, and we will send a warning message to his parents. But as soon as you and Ashton share the mark of the Union, you’ll have to go to the capital to get your marriage validated. Only after that will they leave you alone."
Nolan nodded and said to him, "That will have to wait a bit; we were also in the process of organizing tomorrow’s assault on the palace."
As they spoke, one of the women conjured up vines and tied up the 8 mercenaries before opening a teleportation portal and disappearing with them and the other 2 Sun Sect leaders inside.
Garry then told him, "They went straight to Ashton’s parents, and they will tell them that this was the first and last time that we would let something like this go."
Erik, who had also deactivated his Warrior Spirit skill, said to Nolan, "You should stay here with him. If you go back there with us, you won’t be able to concentrate. Alan and Kelan can explain to you in the morning what has been decided; don’t worry."
Alan put a possessive arm around Erik’s shoulders and said to Nolan while opening a teleportation portal, "You’d better listen to him and join Ashton."
He then turned to Garry and Douglas, bowed his head to show his respect, and said, "Thank you for your help and for protecting us, no matter who we are."
Garry nodded his head and said, "Alan, Erik, Kelan, we will see you tomorrow on the battlefield."
The three of them then returned with the others to prepare for tomorrow’s battle, and Douglas couldn’t help but ask, "Erik has really become an Absolute Warrior; is this the great potential Axel was talking about?"
Garry then looked at Nolan, and Nolan said to them, "All I know is that they are called Warrior Spirits, and Erik is the weakest of them right now because he just activated this skill after seeing my brother almost die in front of him in a dungeon. The first time I met my dear brother-in-law, he was unconscious, but that didn’t stop him from trying to kill me because he thought I was a threat to Alan."
