Chapter 177: A Terrifying Skill (Part 1)

Slap!!!

The loud sound of a slap resounded throughout the area, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.

The guard who had been slapped by Evan flew more than three meters before crashing to the ground and rolling across it, his jaw completely dislocated.

Blood flowed from his mouth, and his eyes were slightly hazy, as if he were about to pass out.

"What the...?"

The second guard, who had been standing nearby was stunned and couldn’t help but take a step back in fear.

Although he was a Level 40 Rank One Evolver, he still couldn’t see how Evan had moved when he attacked his partner.

"More than three hours..." Evan said through gritted teeth, his cold eyes fixed on the guard lying on the ground.

"I’ve been standing in this stupid queue for more than three hours because of you bastards, when it shouldn’t have taken more than one hour."

Evan gestured with one finger, and gusts of wind enveloped the guard lying on the ground, suspending him in the air right in front of him.

"Just because you bastards were enjoying yourselves while robbing people, I had to waste my time standing in this queue. And on what basis are you robbing people? You’re so weak that you can’t even withstand a single slap from me. Aren’t you afraid that someone might beat you to death someday?"

The guard opened his bloodied mouth to say something, but before he could even utter a single word—

Slap!

"I’m already too familiar with the words you’re about to say..." Evan slapped him again and sneered. "All you’re going to talk about is how high your status is, how I’m doomed for attacking a guard, and a whole lot of other bullshit."

Slap!

He gave him another slap, making his head buzz and his vision spin.

Evan stopped using his Wind Monarch skill to suspend the guard in midair and let him fall to the ground.

As soon as the guard hit the ground, his eyes rolled back into his head, and he passed out.

The second guard watched everything from the side without saying a word, his eyes trembling with fear.

Suddenly, he noticed Evan looking at him, and his face turned pale.

Evan paid no attention to his frightened expression and asked coldly.

"Does your superior know what you people are doing here?"

As he spoke, Evan’s eyes flashed with a golden radiance, and the guard experienced a level of fear he had never felt before.

Fearing that he might receive the same treatment as the guard lying on the ground, he immediately answered Evan’s question.

"He... Our captain was the one who ordered us to charge five Mana Cores as the entrance fee."

Evan’s mouth twitched slightly when he heard this response.

’Humans are really annoying.’

He couldn’t help but think in frustration.

He had just returned from Planet Elvador, and the first humans he had encountered were members of the Chaos Alliance. Now, he had encountered these corrupt guards as well.

He could now understand, to some extent, why most elves hated humans so much.

’What should I do now?’

Evan pondered as he looked at the unconscious guard lying on the ground.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to meet the person Alfred had told him about before he left home.

Before leaving, Alfred had given him a letter and a map, telling him to meet someone named Roy after reaching the capital.

Knowing that his grandparents had an extraordinary identity, Evan felt that this person might be able to resolve the current situation.

Having reached this decision, he didn’t think too much and threw two Rank One Mana Cores towards the second guard.

The guard caught the two Mana Cores and looked at Evan suspiciously, wondering what he was planning now.

Evan paid no attention to his expression and spoke flatly.

"The entrance fee is two Mana Cores. Now that I’ve paid, I can enter, right?"

The guard snapped out of his thoughts upon hearing Evan and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, sir! You can enter the capital."

As he spoke, the guard handed a token to Evan.

Evan took the token and put it away without even looking at it.

The guard also stepped aside, clearing the entrance and allowing Evan to enter.

However, just as Evan was about to step inside—

"What is going on here?"

A deep voice reached his ears, and Evan saw another guard emerge from the entrance. His uniform was slightly different from that of the guard he had just beaten.

Evan’s eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this guard because he hadn’t sensed his presence until the man appeared before him.

However, he soon understood what was happening, and a look of realization flashed in his eyes.

’The barrier covering the city, huh?’

He thought inwardly as he glanced at the transparent barrier behind the guard.

Since the man had emerged from inside the city, even his aura had been concealed by the barrier, which is why Evan had only been able to sense his presence after he came outside.

Evan couldn’t help but sigh in relief when he realized this as when he hadn’t sensed the guard approaching, he had thought that the man was extremely powerful.

However, now that he was standing right in front of him, Evan realized that the guard was only at Level 60.

The Rank Two guard who had just emerged from the city looked at the guard lying on the ground with a broken jaw, and his expression immediately darkened.

"Who did this?"

Matthew, the captain of the guards asked in a cold tone.

The guard who was holding the two Mana Cores in his hand trembled when he heard Matthew’s cold voice and with a hint of fear on his face, he pointed towards Evan.

Matthew followed the direction in which the guard was pointing and saw Evan standing there, looking back at him with an expression that seemed to say, ’Another nuisance.’

Seeing the look in Evan’s eyes, Matthew’s expression grew even darker, and he asked in a low voice,

"You hooligan... Do you know what the consequences are for attacking a guard in the capital?"

Evan looked at Matthew indifferently before opening his mouth.

"Nope."
