Chapter 110 - Sharpen your fangs
Henrick could feel the very air become tense when Leo woke up. The smile that the boy in the middle of all the lifeless bodies shown, was bone chilling. The pressure he was emitting while he was casually walking towards Henrick was overwhelming. The knight that was behind Henrick was now actually down on the ground kneeling as he was having difficulty breathing.
"So you\'re the person who\'s messing with my friend... Hmmm, based on your build you aren\'t what I was expecting you to be. Are you perhaps just a pawn, are you someone who\'s under orders to do this? Tell me who is it that ordered you to kill my friend?"
Henrick gulped dryly as he shivered in fear while Leo was assessing him. It was at this moment that he truly believed what Sepchel said, the man in front of him was extremely dangerous. It was like they stepped on the tail of a sleeping dragon and they even did it on purpose.
\'I must never let this man meet the first prince.\' Henrick solemnly swore in his heart, that no matter what even if death should take him, he would never let the first prince face this monster.
"I don\'t know... What you\'re talking about..." Henrick spoke even though it was difficult to answer under this overwhelming pressure.
"Why are you talking like that? Oh, I see sorry about that, I thought since you had the balls to challenge me, I thought you would be somewhat decent. Turns out you\'re just slightly stronger than the weak mob I annihilated."
After Leo said this, the pressure suddenly lightened. The knight who was kneeling was now breathing heavily as if he just surfaced from drowning.
"So now that you can speak properly how about you tell me who\'s ordering you around." Leo once again asked the wobbly Henrick.
"There\'s no one ordering me around, I\'m doing this under my own volition. I just find that commoner irksome, that\'s why I wanted to kill him." Henrick answered with a look of disdain. He knew that he needed to act this out the best he can. If he makes a mistake here, then he would have failed as a vassal of his lord.
"So you won\'t tell me, well there are many other ways to make you talk." Leo hearing Henrick\'s reply happily smiled as he slowly extended his hand towards Henrick.
When Henrick saw Leo\'s hand about to grab him, he wanted to flee but he knew that he wouldn\'t be able to do that. Henrick tried lifting his leg, but they just wouldn\'t respond. When Leo\'s hand was only a few inches away, a sudden large amount of mana came down from the sky in the form of a lightning bolt that hit the area Leo was standing on. Henrick who was able to feel the mana fluctuation was able to move aside before it hit. Unfortunately for the knight with him, he wasn\'t able to do the same and died on the spot.
Once the lighting bolt was gone, and the dust settled, Henrick saw that Leo was no longer there. The first thing that came to Henrick\'s mind was that Leo was disintegrated.
"I got him! That was easier that I expected. He wasn\'t such a big deal after all." Henrick heard a familiar voice coming from the nearby trees, when he looked at the direction of where the voice came from, he saw a colleague of his Oliver, then he saw something else there and froze.
"Why are you looking at me like that Henrick? Surprised to see me beat that b*stard for you. It wasn\'t that hard, it was as we thought Sepchel was overreacting. So aren\'t you going to say thank you? I did save your life."
Henrick didn\'t reply and simply looked at Oliver.
"Huh, why are you so quiet? Also why are you looking at me like that, your facial expression is kind of creepy?... Oh, I see, were you that impressed by my lightning strike? That\'s it right, it was very impressive wasn\'t it. That was my strongest spell, at first it was a simple lightning spell, but then I improved the formula of the spell, which led me to my masterpiece. That spell I enhanced was meant to kill large enemies like Ogre Emperors. How sad was it that I had to use it against a weak commoner."
While Oliver kept on praising himself, suddenly someone spoke beside him.
"It wasn\'t that impressive, you used too much mana for such a measly spell. Your overall control in mana is lacking and I find it quite offensive that you think such an attack could actually harm me. Well anyway," Oliver was shocked to see Leo beside him without even a single scratch on him. Not only that he wasn\'t able to follow Leo\'s movements at all, and if Leo didn\'t speak, Oliver wouldn\'t be able to detect him.
Leo then grabbed onto Oliver\'s neck and lifted him up. Oliver was unable to do anything in his current predicament. The iron grip of Leo\'s wasn\'t giving him any chance to counterattack.
"I was going to torture you guys for information, but seeing how weak you all are, you don\'t even constitute as a threat. So instead you all could be my friends whetstones... Hmm, so for now I won\'t bother finding out who\'s behind this shenanigans, but just tell him this. If you want to oppose me, you first need to sharpen your fangs. As you are now, in my eyes, all of you look like toddlers trying to catch an a.d.u.l.t\'s attention."
Henrick didn\'t respond and simply continued to look at Leo.
"Also seeing as I only need one person to send a message." Leo tossed up Oliver and he then raised his left arm and did a swiping motion. After doing that, a large lighting bolt came down from above incinerating Oliver until there was nothing left of him, not even his bones.
"That\'s how you use that spell." Once he was done saying that, Leo disappeared from the area. Henrick started looking around and saw no signs of Leo anywhere. At that moment if the smell of blood wasn\'t so strong, Henrick would\'ve thought that the events that transpired was all a nightmare, a very horrible nightmare.
