"Otherwise, you will think dying now is better." said King Leon.
Unlike others, King Leon knows Angus' strong killing intent when they are fighting last ti. At that ti, his killing intent is just a little below when he uses his [Soul Possession], which should be the accumulation of millions of people.
After Angus experiences the previous incident, King Leon knows his killing intent will accumulate further. He even assus Angus' killing intent will increase by a leap bound. A killing intent at this level is enough to break soone's mind into insanity.
Killing intent or aura pressure is pretty much useless against strong people or even strong-willed ones. However, it is still effective against those below sixth grade.
King Leon knows if Angus releases his killing intent bluntly in the previous incident, all these people will at least go crazy or even attempt suicide on the spot. In this case, he could see how Angus held back a lot during their previous incident.
Yet, these people and guardians take Angus' rcy as a sign of weakness. If King Leon hadn't sternly given these people a lesson, they would still have stayed at the bottom of the well and created more trouble in the future.
Just as King Leon wants to wake up these fools, a small crimson bird made of fire approaches him from the nearby surroundings. Noticing the familiar mana on the small Firebird, King Leon let it land on his hand.
Then, a telepathic ssage and information about the Guardian's true force co to his mind. Knowing this, King Leon couldn't help but solemnly look at Count Flawaver before laughing madly.
"Hahahaha… Good, you are so good, Otebon. I raised you. Support you. Protect you from those fucking noble and this is your response. Stab in the back!!" said King Leon with anger.
*RRMMBB* Once again, the whole area trembles under King Leon's fury. Even the surrounding ground is cracked.
"M-My King?!" asked Count Flawaver in confusion.
Although the previous incident is quite heavy, it didn't count as stabbing King Leon in the back. Then, he suddenly realized the Guardian's true force was sohow exposed to King Leon through the previous firebird.
Knowing there is no way out, "Gu…" said the Count.
*BANG* Just before Count Flawaver wanted to rely on all the nearby shaken guardians, King Leon suddenly struck the Count and sent him flying toward the city wall. The Count embedded deeply in the cracking city wall and fell unconscious.
If it were not for the powerful magic armor and his own resilience, the Count may have already died like the previous guardian mber.
"L-Leon." asked Duchess Amberblaze in confusion at the sudden change in King Leon.
"Duchess, assemble the army. We will march towards the Everwhite." declared King Leon.
Hearing this, Duchess Amberblaze not only surprised but looked at King Leon with bewildernt. However, seeing his gesture of wanting to leave this place, the Duchess knows this is the last warning to the Guardian.
After leaving the Frostfall City periter, "Lia, they deceive us. It is not just three sixth-grade captains like we previously thought. There are five sixth grade stationed at Everwhite. Even if that old man didn't move, they still have enough power to start another rebellion." said King Leon.
"If it is not for our rapid developnt during these past few years, another civil war will erupt in our ho." added King Leon.
"Five sixth grade?!! T-That's impossible…" said Duchess Amberblaze.
"Nothing is impossible, Lia. Also, this news cos from Angus and Jayna. You should know better than anyone else the credibility of this information." said King Leon.
Although Angus and his group are troublemakers, the Duchess knows they are trustworthy, especially if Jayna also speaks about it. Sotis, their information is even more accurate than their spies or intelligence network.
Still, this also left a sting in the Duchess' feelings. She is staying in the surrounding area, yet they didn't contact her. Only after King Leon reveals himself openly they leave their ssage. It is clear the young couple no longer trusts her.
Noticing the down feeling, "Lia, focus!! We have so many things to do. As for those kids, just believe them. This is what a parent is supposed to do, right? Believe in their kids." said King Leon with a stern yet gentle smile.
"Y-Yes!!" replied Extalia while shaking her head.
*Rain Falling Down~* *Rain Falling Down~*
Their conversation would look more somber and emotional if it were not for the twin Gemini chanting in the background. Seeing the mischievous Gemini, King Leon could only massage his head with a deep sigh.
anwhile, Angus' group manages to sneak deeper. With the help of Angus' sophisticated camouflage spells, they can reach the frozen massive lake near the Everwhite Basin.
During the journey, they find a lot of guardian patrols and even a group of newly ford Gram. Fortunately, Angus' camouflage spell is enough to hide everyone, including Cupid, the Gram Salamander.
The Guardian uses unique magic tools to detect Gram in their surrounding periter. With Angus' intelligence and [Analyze], he could easily create a camouflage spell to counter these detection magic tools.
Moreover, the detection magic on it is very basic and elentary. It is incomparable to the detection magic used by the dwarf to find them during the Undermine Council. Even Kusibella and Bornja could counter these magic tools with enough ti.
"Lad, your concealnt magic is sick!! They didn't even hear us despite being so close." said Bornja while chugging a liquor.
As the dwarf race, Kusibella and Bornja also couldn't be separated from drinking liquor even if they were female. At most, they drink the liquor moderately, unlike their male dwarf, who will drink until oblivion.
Currently, Angus and the others are walking on the edge of the frozen basin as so of the guardian patrols walk near them. Yet, the Guardian's patrol seems to never notice or see them in the first place.
"Well, as long as you didn't create a huge move. They will not detect us." said Angus.
"Ohh, good to know. Then, why are we stopping here again?" asked Kusibella.
"According to my observation, the ice elental in these frozen lakes is many tis denser than outside. Even creating a single spark of fire is difficult in this place. I am to figure out how to protect us from this environnt." said Angus.
"Moreover, we still need to light the forge later. It would be bad if we already arrived, yet we couldn't even create a single spark of fire." said Angus.
"That's certainly a problem." said Kusibella.
"Did you have any idea?" asked Bornja.
"Well, I need to do so experints first." said Angus before his eyes turned sharp.
*SWISH* *CLANG* Suddenly, a sickle clashes with Brigida's Halberd. This huge movent breaks Angus' concealnt spell as a few guardian groups approach them.
"Hee… This is unexpected. I thought there was a variant Gram with camouflage ability. To think I will find an intruder here." said the leader of the Guardian while holding a sickle.
'A sixth-grade captain?!!' thought Angus and the others.
In fact, Angus already raises his vigilance when a sixth-grade captain is nearby. He just didn't expect this captain to pretend to not notice them before making a sneak attack.
With a swift movent, Brigida and Lilith imdiately hold their respective weapon artifact and attack the opposite party. At the sa ti, Angus also cast a few spells to break the encirclent [3rd Circle - Fire Missile]. *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
Unfortunately, the surrounding strange phenonon drastically lowered Angus' attack. His Fire Missile couldn't even create a single decent explosion upon contact. Combined with the enchanted magic armor on its Guardian, they are unhard by Angus' spell.
"This spellcasting?! Are you missing…" said the guardian captain.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* a flurry of magic arrows hits him and his group before the captain finishes his sentence. A sudden confrontation happens between Angus' group and the Guardian.
Like a well-oiled machine, the guardian mbers imdiately turn into their group formation without anyone's command. A few battle magicians in the back are already casting their spells to retaliate against Angus' group.
Still, it didn't an Angus and the others were losing despite being outnumbered many tis. In fact, they didn't even feel threatened by these groups. The only one actively fighting is Angus, Brigida, and Lilith.
As for the others, they simply sat on top of Cupid or drank the liquor while enjoying the fighting scene. Even Jayna is not moving since she still holds the sleeping baby Anna.
The little monster will groan in protest if Jayna is trying to leave her before snuggling more into her arm. *Clang* *Clang* *Clang* *Clang* A series of clashing attacks is heard across the area as Brigida and the guardian captain with sickle have their own close combat.
The Halberd charged with intense lightning, clashing against the fiery sickle artifact. With each clash, the guardian captain is getting more and more irritated.
"What the hell are you doing?! Shoot at her!!" ordered the guardian captain while taking a distance.
