Chapter 155 - That's It?
Ren, Silika, and the Spirit Rulers were stunned into silence as they watched the strongest Spirit Ruler take Nezzard and fled. Ren was dumbstruck, with how powerful that Spirit Ruler was, even with Silika's help with their current strength it would've been a tough battle were victory would've been a miracle. Yet for some unknown reason the moment she laid eyes on Ren she fled.
The other Spirit Rulers were also confused and dumbfounded by what happened. Even though she was weird, and says incomprehensible things her power was the real deal. Even Silika aka Elizabeth Rogue would have trouble fighting her.
Yet she flew away without even a word, and she did it after looking at Ren. The remaining six Spirit Rulers finally figured out that it wasn't Silika who was the most dangerous, it was the man who she calls master.
Unknown to the Spirit Rulers, both Silika and Ren weren't even close to their peak. Silika was restrained by how strong her master was, as Ren wasn't really that strong yet Silika was still unable to summon even a tiny portion of her true power. So if she were to fight the current Spirit Rulers she would have a hard time and will most likely lose. Even if she and Ren work together the fight would still be not in their favor.
Due to various misunderstandings, and quality timing the seven Spirit Rulers have misinterpreted how strong Ren and Silika currently were.
...
Ren who was stunned by the sudden retreat of Nezzard and the final Spirit Ruler finally moved. He looked at the remaining Spirit Rulers in disappointment and irritation. "Is that it? Are you people going to do anything else?"
The Spirit Rulers looked at each other and didn't know what to do. The strongest Spirit Ruler fled and she took their summoner with her. Now they were left here to face Ren and Silika by themselves. The former looking super annoyed, while the latter was smiling gently.
"Did you people just come here to waste my time? You raised my hopes up and then nothing! What the f*ck was this?! You came to me blocking my way and then Nezzard says some b*llsh*t about him being the lion of Reschbauch and then he summons you useless pieces of trash! You guys did nothing you were summoned and were tasked to fight me but here you are cowering!"
Silika was a little surprised by Ren's outburst, but she could still somehow understand him. Ren's whole existence and those of his past incarnations seem to be catered for battle. Now that he was given a taste of an exciting battle, and then in the last minute was pulled away from him. Of course, he would be irritated, but Silika wasn't expecting him to be this irritated.
"If that wasn't bad enough, Nezzard summon that thing! He actually summoned a being that is supposed to be considered a Demi-God! Her entrance was so exaggerated, her speeches were extremely arrogant. That Spirit Ruler of Chaos(?) actually made me feel a chill for a second, but then as she was about to fight. As my excitement reach a new peak, what did she do?! She f*cking fled from battle!"
Ren's killing intent skyrocketed as he grew even more irritated. The Spirit Rulers who have lived a long time, and had the memories of their predecessors have felt this kind of bloodlust before. It was at that moment they finally understood what was happening. They now knew why the Spirit Ruler of chaos(?) flee as fast as she did.
There was only one human to ever gained the trust and love of the Goddess of Death Elizabeth Rogue. There was that one human that made the very heavens tremble before his bloodlust. That made the Gods themselves flee from his might.
The Spirit Rulers who were in front of Ren were quiet as they felt dread crawling into their bodies. Ren gritted his teeth as he saw the reactions of the Spirit Rulers.
"Fighting you cowards in this state won't bring me any joy. Tell that master of yours if you're going to challenge me again, make sure that you are ready. Cause if you people show me this kind of thing again, then I promise, I will grant you unimaginable pain, that will make you beg for the sweet release of death."
After warning the Spirit Rulers, Ren, and Silika left. The Spirit Rulers were finally able to relax a bit. They then teleported towards the area Nezzard fled to.
...
The moment the six teleported they noticed that they were at the kingdom of the dwarves, at the top of their greatest stronghold, which was on top of the tallest mountain. This marvel of a fortress was built by the dwarves the greatest craftsmen of the land. It was their masterpiece that was made to be able to withstand the assault of Dragons.
The Spirit Ruler of Chaos(?) knew that this wasn't enough to stop Ren(Leo) if he wanted to kill them. But this was the strongest stronghold the mortals have ever made. Even if it can only last a few days against Ren(Leo).
It was chillingly cold at the top of the mountain, and Nezzard was using a spell to heat his body up. He also surrounded himself with mana to stop the freezing winds from killing him. Beside him was the Spirit Ruler of Chaos(?) who was trying to hide their presence using a spell.
Nezzard who noticed the six Spirit Rulers arriving looked a bit worried.
"What happened?"
"We were spared." The Spirit Ruler of Earth answered.
"Tell me, is Ren that strong, that none of you can face him?"
"We aren't really sure what Ren truly is, though we do have a few guesses. But we do know the one beside him. That was the former Goddess of Death." The Spirit of Darkness started to explain to Nezzard about the things he knew of Elizabeth. The more Nezzard heard, the more fearful he became.
"If she's that powerful, then why is she following Ren? I have never heard of a divine being following a mortal, and making him her master."
"If you want an answer to that, then you better ask her. She's the one who knows more." The Spirit Ruler of Darkness pointed at the Spirit Ruler of Chaos(?) Noticing all the attention was on her, the Spirit Ruler of Chaos(?) gave Nezzard an answer.
"That man, that you wished to face, is one that has been to many battlefields. He is one who seeks the strong and crushes them. Within his soul lays hidden the monsters of the past, heroes, devils, saints, Gods, none may be his match."
That didn't answer any of Nezzards questions, it only raised even more questions. It was no use to ask any further questions since this was how the Spirit Ruler of Chaos(?) speaks. Her words, as usual, were hard to understand and sounded cryptic. The only thing Nezzard got from what she said was that they should never antagonize Ren.
"We need to head to the capital and warn the king," Nezzard told the seven Spirit Rulers.
"What will you say to them? Even if you explain it to them, they will never believe that one man can wipe out the entire kingdom of Reschbeauch." The Spirit Ruler of Fire told her opinion.
"I still need to try. If we don't do anything, then the royal capital might turn into a pile of ash. Even though I'm a fallen noble, even though I have been discharged as the general of the army. I still wish to protect Reschbeauch."
"Very well my servant, I have heard your pleas. Then we shall go and save the kingdom from the fangs of the beast." The Spirit Ruler of Chaos(?) spread her black fiery wings and picked up Nezzard and flew away.. The other Spirit Rulers sighed as they followed Nezzard.
