Lord Shadow

Chapter 1331 The Act of Forgiving

From the very beginning, Azief could feel that there is an eye looking at him. And he could tell that the owner or the one in charge is looking at him.

At first he is not that mad, but when this establishment send six people with great bloodlust Azief knows that the tavern is trying to kill him and Katarina to establish prestige. 

So, he would no longer be polite. 

Azief waves his hands again and this time he waves it upward. The rules of the world seem to be dancing at his fingertip.

The Heavens roars above the island. On the sea, the waves suddenly went crazy. The wind blows wildly and storms appears.

The clouds gather above the tavern and then it gathers to cover the entire city. 

It only took only a few second for all of these clouds to gather. 

A powerful force seems to be condensed and lock this city

People on the street felt weird seeing that there is suddenly a storm on the sea and thunderbolt flashing about in the sky.

But they could not have imagined that this has something to do with the old man inside the Hanging head tavern raising his hand. 

The Heavenly Will is used unconsciously by Azief. If he did it consciously, this entire city would be leveled down. 

In the tavern, Azief waves his hand and a gentle wind suddenly blows into the tavern. It swirls around the end of his finger and then the wind spirals flew forward

The swirling wind spirals then merge with each other and when they merge, it turns into a small sphere of wind

It is like a small sphere of wind; its power seems to be only be useful in blowing leaves from the branches of a tree. 

But, as the sphere of wind touch the ceiling of the second floor, a powerful blast tore off the ceiling, created a storm in the third floor that entirely wrecked it.

BOOOOOM! The explosion shakes the entire tavern foundation

It did not stop there as that storms then travelled upwards like an unstoppable storm. 

Then it flew toward the fifth floor like a sword, wrecking everything on its path. 

All of this happens in two second from the moment that sphere of wind crash on the ceiling of the second floor. It flew up right to the ninth floor and blew up the top floor. 

In that attack, all kinds of protection formation were triggered. There was a golden shield projection but as the force of the wind collided with it, it was instantly destroyed.

There is even a rune that seem to protect the sixth floor. But even that rune was sliced apart by the erratic wind gale that erupted from the wind sphere. 

A few dozen people flew down. 

Then the entire tavern collapsed to the ground. 

But it did not even have the time to fully collapse as Azief waves his hand again. 

This time, there is the element off entropy and before the debris off the tavern about to crash onto the ground, it turns into ashes and dust and blown by the wind. 

As for other people that was not able to escape, Katarina had frozen them in a block of ice. 

Katarina block of ice is very special. It is both a prison and protection. 

Azief knows all about it because he was once encased in a mountain of ice. 

Azief did not forget that there is a bartender that tries to warn him in the beginning. Of course, like the other he was saved and is frozen inside that block of ice.

He then looks at the dozen people in front of him. Some of them is struggling to stand up and they all look at him with wary expression

Azief smiles and said

’So, which one of you is the owner of this tavern?’

A muscly man with a lion accented armor stepped forward.

’Your Excellency, which city you come from. Under whose order? Are you from one of the Pirate Lords? Or from the Crime Alliance? Why make it hard for us?’

Azief only smiles and said

’I said I wanted to buy information. I could forgive the other provocation but you send six ninja-looking people to try to kill me. That is a bit weird for a welcome don’t you think?’

’Forgive us. We thought that you were one of our rivals, trying to undermine our business.

Azief shakes his head.

’That is your business not mine. That is your mistake not mine’

’All I know is that I want to buy information and was attacked. I told you I could buy the information but you were rash. As long as you did not try to kill me, I could still let it slide. I understand the concerns…. but trying to kill me…. now that is crossing some lines.’

’Forgive us, then. There must be some way for this to end amicably. It would be very beneficial if Your Excellency could give us some face.’ 

Hearing this Azief raises his eyebrows. And then he laughed. 

When he laughed, his laugh began to spread. And there is a visible wave in the air that ripples because of his laugh

Like some kind of delayed sonic attack. Then slowly the nearby shops and stalls and building also began to shake and tremble. It was like the prelude to an earthquake. 

His laugh created a powerful sonic attack and the one having to endure this brunt of attack is the dozen people in front of him. 

All of them raise their defenses. Some brought out shining shield covered with runes. Some unsheathe their sword and tries to slice the sonic waves.

Some uses their palms strike to try to push the force away or to break it. All kinds of methods were employed and finally the sonic attack directed at them breaks. 

All of this only took three second but in that there second, the distance between them and Azief widened by two kilometers and the entire street is leveled. 

All of the shops crumbles. 

Fortunately, there is no tall structure other than the Hanging head tavern nearby if not there might be an even larger destruction. 

And Katarina who was standing beside Azief the whole time keep flicking water droplets from her fingers. 

Each time she flicks with her finger, a small water droplet would arrive in front of a person and froze them into ice, protecting them from the collapse of their building or stall.

Katarina did this for Azief 

She knows how Azief hated killing innocents. 

That is why even when he was doing a wide area attack he always holds back. Azief look at the dozen people in front of him and with a smile he said

’Forgive you? If it’s that easy, then why do we need the police?’ 

Azief takes a step, the space was affected as Azief uses his speed and he immediately arrived in front of that muscly person. 

That person was shocked and quickly execute a palm strike. This palm strike created thunderous sound and electricity seems to swirls around his entire palm.

Azief saw it, smiles as he pushes that palm to the left. That electrical force, that lightning that swirls around that person palm immediately was dispelled.

’Lack foundation’ Azief whispered and using that same finger, he taps the lion armor with his finger. 

One tap of his finger and the armor crumbles into ashes. The muscly guy tries to attack again but Azief pointed his finger toward his chest and suddenly his chest is pierced.

There is defensive energy shield that covers the man entire body. But even that defensive energy crumbled completely the moment Azief pointed his finger

This is the suppression of realm. 

The other eleven people was too late to react but when they already process what happens, one of their people had already been killed

Azief look down at that body and shakes his head

’Don’t worry. He is not dead’ Azief then look at those people and said

’Now, bring out all you can. The bigger the chaos, the better’ Katarina who stands beside Azief pull his sleeve and said

’You’re changing the plan?’

Azief nodded 

’Explain’ she said. Right now, they both are speaking with each other, ignoring the crowd, ignoring the high ranking member of the Hanging Head and ignoring the forces that would come to this area.

The destruction of an entire street is not something that could be hidden. And Azief did not appear to want to hide it.

But even though they are speaking and looking like they have their guard down, none of the people who is watching, none of the people who is on the side of the Hanging Head tries to attack that old man.

Why do they not move? Simple.

  Fear. 

They could not leave but they do not dare to attack either. So, they are stuck there, not knowing what to do

And while the people here hesitating on what to do, they still talk to each other like they are standing in a park, discussing the nice weather that they are having today. 

Above them, dark clouds gather. On the sea walls, waves are wilding rampaging. Storms are heading toward the city.

Thunder and lightning creates an orchestra on the sky. But, the sight of them two, talking to each other somehow fit with this apocalyptic scene.

Azief look at Katarina and said

’We have no enemy here. I like to do things in a fast way. I was thinking of actually enjoying a few days here. But, since people have given me a reason to act, then I would just go through it all the way.’

Sighing he then said

’And I also need to know what had happened in the past few months. We need to go back. You, for your brother. And I…for my family’

Katarina understood what Azief is thinking about so she just nodded.

’Fine then. Let’s have some fun then’ then she laughs

Then they both look at the people in front of them. And all of these high ranking people of the Hanging Head tavern gulped.

The moment both Azief and Katarina look at them, it felt like they were being stared at by a predator. 

Then Katarina said

’Call your backers. I want to see them’ The moment she said it, the entire air of the streets turns cold. 

Azief stands there, his hand behind his back and he smiles, standing there like an overlord overlooking the world.
