THE LORD IS TOO OVERBEARING

Chapter 167 Wake Up Call (End)



While their subordinates were busy with fighting the Demons, the Commander of each legion turned their head to Ansley. They gave their right of command to their Vice, then got down from their Hexapod Horses.

Thud!

Graciously, they walked toward Ansley. Upon arriving right in front of him, the Commander of the Sixth Legion took off his helmet, then extended his hand. "Thank you for defending the area well, Earl Woster."

The Commander of Sixth Legion was a manly looking blond haired man. He had a well trimmed beard on his face that added more charm to his manly appearance. Standing at 198 centimeters tall, he had a muscular body that was befitting of the aura he was exuding.

Ansley quickly took the hand of Sixth Legion's Commander, then shook it firmly. "It is my pleasure to be able to meet you, Sir Dunstan." Admiration was apparent on his face.

At Ansley's barely concealed excitement, Dunstan chuckled slightly. "Haha. It is my pleasure to meet you too, Earl Woster." He had never thought there would be a Noble Mage that could fancy him, a commoner Knight, that much.

Still, he was aware of his status as the Sixth Legion's commander, so he didn't muse about it that much. Looking behind Ansley, he quickly noticed Lucilla's gaze that was firmly planted upon them. Unlike Ansley however, he didn't feel the urge to quiver his feet out of fear.

"We got company, eh?" He muttered. Letting go of Ansley's hand, he wore back his helmet. "I am sorry to say this, but we still need your help, Earl Ansley." His tone sounded apologetic, as he really meant what he said.

"Don't worry, sir Dunstan. Even though I don't wear any high quality armor like you, I can stay alive until the battle is concluded." Ansley patted his chest surely.

Dunstan chuckled lightheartedly, and even some Knight Commanders also smiled behind their helmet. "Very well. I will be counting on you, Earl Woster."

Even though he didn't feel the need to be that frightened by Lucilla's overwhelming aura, Dunstan knew she wasn't someone he could just casually brush off; his fellow Commanders, too, were aware of it.

With a hand gesture from Dunstan, the eight Commanders immediately got into formation. The Knight Commanders circled around the two Mage Commanders, making a circle of people with a diameter of 28 meters.

The two Mage Commanders in the middle were 14 meters apart, which means they were 7 meters apart from the closest Knight Commander. It was done to give the Mage Commanders space to utilize their Spell that influenced roughly 13 meters of their surrounding area upon casting.

Despite how simple the formation was though, it was a formidable one. The gap between each Knight Commander surrounding the two Mage Commanders had nothing to do with the defense; as a highly trained Knight, they could easily cover it.

Ansley admired the coordination the Legion Commanders had shown, and sighed in amazement.

"Earl Ansley."

At Dunstan's call, Ansley returned to reality. "Yes!"

"Before our return, I leave the battlefield in your care once again." Dunstan was telling him to lead his County Army once again, so he could clear the vicinity off Demons that would disturb their fight.

Ansley gave him a firm nod. "Yes!" Then, he took off to lead his army once again.

Dunstan turned his head to the front, and gestured his hand at his fellow Commanders. "March!" The Commanders marched toward Lucilla while maintaining the formation. Even though they didn't need to, they kept their step silent.

"Ah, look at them. A bunch of ants thinking a puddle is the sea. Ku-ku-ku." Lucilla smiled coldly at the group of Commanders coming at her. Slightly extending her hand to the side, she snapped her finger.

Snap!

In a blink of an eye, 15 Minotaur Warriors holding a gigantic sword appeared in front of her. All of them were 8 meters tall, and the Demonic Mana they were exuding was incomparable to the Mana any of the ordinary Minotaur was exuding.

"Let us see how well you fare against them." Lucilla laughed coldly.

The Commanders stopped in their way for a brief second upon witnessing the bewildering scene. They were utterly shocked to see someone could teleport such many people—creatures—that easily without any proper casting.

However, they were professional—they quickly regained their composure. They were living in a world filled with bizarreness; seeing another one wouldn't change a thing. That, of course, still means they became even more careful toward Lucilla.

Snort!

A steaming breath was let out of the nostrils of the fully armored bullheaded creatures—Minotaur Warriors. Their dark red eyes were shining, and one would think a burning orb if one were to see them.

Whoosh!

The frontmost Minotaur swung its sword to the side once, creating a blast of wind that turned an unfortunate Goblin 7 meters away from it into paste. Snorting once again, it kicked the ground, and dashed toward the formation of Legion Commanders.

Boom. Boom.

Each time its foot touched the ground, a dent would form. Although its speed wasn't that incredible in front of the Legion Commanders' eyes, its big body's friction against the air produced a whizzing sound, which was enough to evoke terror to other people.

Of course, the eight Commanders were different. Seeing such a giant coming at them, they didn't flinch or quiver in fear; they readied their attack calmly. Dunstan, as the de facto leader, held his Sword Relic vertically in front of him.

Drawing the Qi from his Blue Core, he quickly utilized his Aura. "[Warrior of Light]!" His Aura Ability, too, was activated. His Sword Relic shone in a blinding white light, and it was enough to hinder the Minotaur Warrior in its step—it couldn't see well with the light.

Snorting once again, the Minotaur Warrior raised its gigantic sword, and infused its Demonic Mana into its sword. It was about to slam the gigantic sword into the ground, when it suddenly felt it lost its control over its hands.

Boom!

Then, it could see the sword that it was supposed to be holding fell to the ground along with its hands. It was puzzled and bewildered; it couldn't register what had just happened. Looking at Dunstan, it could see he kept the same pose; he didn't look like he had even moved a single step.

Having its hands cut wasn't a big deal for it; it could just regrow it. However as a prideful Minotaur Warrior, it was a humiliation. Roaring angrily at Dunstan, it stood from the ground then regrew its hands.

In the middle of the regrowing process, it could see a brief flash of light before his eyes. It was so brief, it didn't think too much of it. However, when the regrowing process was close to finish, its vision was tilted upward.

Thud!

Then, it felt its head touched the ground. Puzzled, the Minotaur Warrior blinked its eyes once. It was only after seeing its headless body did it register the fact that it had been decapitated.

Puzzlement quickly turned to rage. Alas, even at the end of its life, it couldn't see its slayer's face for the second time.

Soundless, brief, and undetected. That was the specialty of Dunstan's Aura Ability: [Warrior of Light]. He didn't control light, but any weapon he held would be able to move so fast, it looked like a light.

What made it fearsome though, it was applicable to anything he considered weapon. Just like earlier, what had killed the Minotaur Warrior hadn't been his Sword Relic, but the Qi Blade he had sent. That is the reason why the Minotaur Warrior had seen a flash of light before its decapitation.

"Hoh? I thought human was close to its downfall already." Lucilla quirked her eyebrow, slightly impressed. "Very well. You have shown me how much you amount to." Extending her hand forward, she swiped it lightly. "Have a feast, my slaves."

Roar!

The remaining 14 Minotaur Warriors charged at the Legion Commanders at once.

Dunstan quirked his eyebrow inside his helmet, then brandished his sword lightly. A brief flash of light was seen, and an explosion occured right in front of the charging Minotaur Warriors.

Boom!

However, the Minotaur Warriors were unharmed. "Mages! They have a Magic Barrier in front of them!" Dunstan shouted. "Leave it to us," was the simple answer the two Mage Commanders gave him.

Quickly utilizing their Mana, six Magic Circles were materialized behind their back. All of them had a Solid Realm which means their first three Magic Circles were Grand Circles—the rest were Major Circles.

Casting a Spell under their breath, they extended their hand forward. "[Dispersion]!" Two purple balls of light were sent toward the incoming Minotaur Warriors, before intertwining with each other in the air.

Upon contact with the Magic Barrier protecting the charging Minotaur Warriors, the two balls of light quickly disappeared. Along with its disappearance was the Magic Barrier's dispersion.

As soon as the Knight Commanders saw that, three of them that were directly facing the incoming Minotaur Warriors quickly took the initiative to attack.

"[Earth Bender]!"

"[Sky Shaker]!"

Different from Dunstan, the other two had to activate their Aura Ability first. Of course, it posed no problem to the process of the incoming Minotaur Warriors' extermination; the time they took to activate their Aura Ability was not more than a second.

Flash!

Dunstan sent three Qi Blades that had been influenced by his Aura Ability at the Minotaur Warriors—three of them immediately lost their head. The Legion Commander beside him stabbed his sword to the ground mightily, and the ground shook in the next moment.

Crack!

Then as if experiencing a natural disaster, the ground in front of the Minotaur Warriors were split in two. Four of them fell into the pit, leaving their head peeking from the split ground. Dunstan didn't stay idle, as he brandished his sword at them, successfully decapitating them from afar.

The remaining 7 Minotaur Warriors were 7 meters apart from the Legion Commanders. Despite so, none of them panicked in the slightest; the two Mage Commanders in the middle of the formation merely casted another Spell to help their fellow Commanders.

"[Head Crusher]!"

Two spheres of an invisible, high pressured wind were sent toward the unknowing Minotaur Warriors. The Commander with the Aura Ability: [Sky Shaker] who could plainly see the spheres used his Aura Ability on them.

The spheres split into eight, and all of them traveled even faster than before. Not only that, if one were to look at it carefully, they were all vibrating in high speed.

Upon contact on the unknowing five Minotaur Warriors' body, their upper body was sucked inside the sphere.

Screech!

Rather than exploding, the body of the Minotaur Warriors' were devoured by the vibrating wind spheres. The lifeless bodies fell to the ground, but none of the remaining Minotaur Warriors glanced at their fell comrades.

They raised their gigantic sword, and swung it at the formation of Commanders. Even before they managed to do it however, two of them were pierced by an earth spike right in the middle of their chest.

The last one, the one charging right at Dunstan, was already split in two even before the other two was skewered by the earth spikes. That way, the battle with the Minotaur Warriors ended—or so they thought.

"I see. Now I know which of you are troublesome."

Due to their vision being hindered by the Minotaur Warriors, they couldn't see Lucilla at all. Therefore, they were slightly shocked upon hearing her voice so close to them. Dunstan quickly looked around, but he couldn't see the sight of Lucilla.

Turning his body in puzzlement, he wondered why none of his fellow Commanders commented about Lucilla's whereabouts. Upon facing the direction behind him however, he finally understood the reason why no one commented about it.

"W-What is happening?" He was flustered.

Lucilla was in the middle of the formation with the decapitated heads of the two Mage Commanders.

That was the first wake up call that Braxtein Kingdom received, and that was also the beginning of the tragedy that everyone woukd remember.
