Chapter 308: The Blow up
As Adwin rided forward and reached the middle of the valley, he noticed a tree stump—
Perfectly cut down by magic.
“HALT.” Adwin shouted as he raised his fist into the air. Everyone immediately stopped behind him.
The generals also raised their hands and the armies halted all at once.
*Swish*
Dreulis appeared beside the stump and placed his bony hand over it.
“He was here…” he spoke in a low voice.
“Who? The undead you were talking about?” Gris asked, confusion written all over his face.
“No. No. No…” Dreulis shook his head slowly.
“That undead isn’t acting on his own. Someone stronger is with him. Someone who is ordering him around.”
He paused.
“I can sense his aura.”
The purple middle ring on his finger glowed, releasing an invisible wave of mana across the valley.
“He’s near… but I can’t pinpoint his exact location. It’s like he’s using some kind of—”
“Spell to hide.” A calm voice suddenly came from above.
Everyone snapped their heads upward.
Leon was hanging upside down from the branch of a massive tree, his legs wrapped around it casually.
His red eyes staring at Dreulis through the mask.
“Sir, Michael Jackson… is that you?” Adwin asked as he immediately dismounted from his horse.
Leon let go of the branch.
His body began falling—but due to the zero weight surrounding him, he summoned Nyxter and forcefully regained mass.
*Thud*
As soon as he landed, Leon walked straight toward Adwin.
“Hm…?” Dreulis stared at him, the flames in his eyes flickering once again.
’It’s him.’
“Hello… Adwin,” Leon said neutrally.
’His aura… it has changed. I can feel his bloodlust. Just like Dredis said.’ Adwin thought as he smiled and raised his hand.
“How are you?” he asked.
Leon shook his hand and met his gaze.
“I’m good. Just blew up half of this valley. Sorry for the damage.”
“Yeah, I heard that from Dredis and you don’t have to say sorry, we are both kings. What happened exactly ?” Adwin asked calmly.
“I did a little research after that little meeting of yours,” Leon replied, folding his hands behind his back.
“And I found out there aren’t only twelve demons in this forest.” He explained and took a small pause.
“I don’t think… I follow, are you saying there are more than twelve.” Adwin said, his smile stiffening.
“There’s an entire demon village hidden inside this forest.” Leon replied with a neutral expression as he looked at Adwin.
“What !? A whole village ?” Adwin exclaimed.
“Sir Michael Jackson is telling the truth, Your Majesty,” Gris said seriously. “We discovered the same thing using advanced magic.”
“And you’re telling me this now?” Adwin turned sharply toward him, a pressuring aura leaking from his body. He was clearly angry.
“I—I wasn’t completely sure of the results, Your Majesty. I couldn’t present unconfirmed information,” Gris replied hesitantly.
Leon interrupted.
“Here’s a little gift for you.”
He opened his inventory and pulled out a severed head.
“Catch.” Leon spoke as he threw the head of Melare towards Ruben.
*Catch*
Ruben caught it—then immediately dropped it, terror flooding his face.
*Thud*
“Who is that ?” Adwin asked.
“One of the twelve demons ruling that village,” Leon replied indifferently.
“His name was Melare. He wasn’t that hard to kill.” He explained.
“You killed one of the twelve rulers… alone ?” Dreulis asked, staring at Leon.
“So you’re the undead who was trying to breach the barrier,” Leon said, looking at him with a tilted neck.
<Inspect>
[Name: Dreulis]
[Class: Lich]
[Race: Undead]
[Level: 399]
[HP: -/-]
[MP: -/-]
[Description: Dreulis turned into a lich after being betrayed by his beloved wife and her lover. On the verge of death, he made a contract with an unknown god in exchange for forbidden knowledge and an unknown favor.]
’His level is insane… I can’t even see his mana or HP,’ Leon thought with a serious expression.
“Where is your lich ?” Dreulis asked as he looked at Leon. “I want to meet him, if you are done assessing me.”
“Rees,” Leon said quietly as he raised his hand gestured with his fingers.
*Swish*
Rees appeared out of thin air and bowed.
“Sir.”
“Short-range teleportation ? Huh ?” Dreulis muttered as he approached him.
“It’s basic for liches,” Rees replied calmly.
“Our bodies are only bones. Teleportation is easier for the undead when compared to living beings.”
“Hm. You know your spells and everything about their working, good.” Dreulis nodded.
“How long has it been ?” He asked as he noticed the small incantation over Rees’ bones.
“Over a century… I believe I’m in the middle of another one.” Rees replied as he looked at Dreulis.
“Well—” Before Dreulis said anything else, he suddenly turned toward the empty field behind him.
“You sense it too, don’t you ?” He spoke in a low voice.
“Master…” Rees spoke as he immediately turned around to look at Leon.
Leon smiled faintly under his mask.
“Looks like our guests are here.” He spoke outloud.
Figures began closing in from the distance.
“Demons…” Adwin muttered, unsheathing his sword as he stepped beside Leon.
“Master… Would you like me to asses their weapons from close ?” Fruela asked with a neutral expression from above.
“No.” Leon replied as a smile spread across his face.
“There are eleven of them,” Gris said, raising his wand. “Each one is extremely powerful.”
“Would you mind covering your ears ?” Leon asked Adwin.
“What ? Why ?” Adwin asked with a confused expression.
“Well… We will have to welcome our guests properly.” Leon replied.
<Frenhiz Shield>
Rees casted the spell instantly.
A massive wall of invisible mana formed in front of Leon and Adwin.
“What are you—” Dreulis began—
“I always love this part.” Leon turned slightly, a wide grin forming beneath his mask.
“Kaboom.”
Two blinding white lines erupted from beneath the demons.
Then—
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
Two huge explosions took place inside the Duran valley and they shook the whole human kingdom itself.
“WHAT’S HAPPENING ?” Adwin asked with a confused expression as he looked if he looked at Leon.
“I call it… The Blow up.”
