The stranger looked quite striking at one glance, making one would easily take him for a celebrity. There's also this mysterious charm he was exuding that made a lot of spectators couldn't help but just stare at him in admiration, despite the fact that he just killed Sasha Blood in front of everyone's eyes.
But, for the Exalt and above realm experts, it was an entirely different experience. They felt enormous amount of pressure just by looking directly at his figure and so of them couldn't help but shake in fear.
Only legendary realm experts could resist it while the Supre realm Arcana masters were unaffected by his presence. Yashna instantly disappeared and reappeared beside Azzy, intending to protect the clan's young heir, while Francis slowly floated above in calmness. He seed like he was unaffected by Sasha's sudden demise at all.
But then again, he lived for more than 8200 years. It's to be expected, when the girl isn't the clan heir after all.
Rising to his level and looking straight at the stranger, Francis surprised the clan villagers by showing politeness in his speech, "We didn't recognize His Grace. Mind telling us your identity?" He didn't even bring up Sasha's death too.
The stranger chuckled, gazing at him in amusent, "You are indeed interesting, descendant of Akasha. Your lack of empathy for your own descendant reminds of her. She too didn't seem like she cared when her eight out of her nine children were rcilessly hacked to the death right in front of her eyes. But in fact, just like you, she rely suppressed her killing intent too deeply.
And when she finally got stronger than him, she hunt down the man responsible for the death of her children and didn't stop until the man's entire bloodline was erased."
Francis stayed calm and didn't respond to his comnt. Instead, he said, "Your Grace hasn't told your identity and the reason for your visit yet."
The stranger replied, shifting his gaze to the battle arena with his smile of amusent turned into coldness, "well, I'm here to take two lives. One, the cheeky bas*ard that dared to make a fool out of our Sovereign of the Afterlife, Lord Thanatos, despite being born into the clan that serves him. Two, the killer of Velez Garcia. Just don't co in my way and I'll leave your clan intact as it is.
Or else, every one in the clan will be escorting my targets into the afterlife."
It isn't a secret among the clan leaders of who killed Velez Garcia. But, they didn't have an idea about this cheeky one this demigod was talking about.
Fortunately for them, they didn't have to think about it, as the stranger continued, "Azrael Crescent Garcia, your ti of living has been ended. Do you have any last words to speak?"
The spectators were stunned and their attention was abruptly shifted to their clan heir, who was standing straight in the arena and staring coldly at the visitor.
Summoning his death scythe without any hesitation, Azzy replied, "I don't know what's your na, mister, but you have made three mistakes today. One, you have intruded into our clan village without permission. Two, you have disturbed our tournant. And three, you dared to threaten to kill my father. Hadn't you made that third mistake, you would rely get beaten up.
But, third mistake has earned you death."
Azzy no longer hid his soul realm. Many now realized his true power but they still aren't in a mood to be shocked because of the enemy. In their eyes, Azzy is already dead, unless their real clan head, Qridus Garcia, returns ho to save him.
But, how should they contact him?
According to their knowledge, no one except for the acting clan head, aka Vesyrn Garcia, had any ans to contact him. And Vesyrn is currently resting and probably not in a condition to even contact Qridus.
Hence, they can only pin their hopes on clan leaders, on having any ans of contacting Qridus.
Yashna patted Azzy's shoulder from behind and spoke, "Young Master, that's a demigod. Even in your current state, you have no chances of winning. You need to leave. I and Clan Leader Francis will try stop him."
"And do you think you both have any chance against him?" Azzy asked in return, his cold gaze was fixed on the visitor. He knew that they can't even hold a candle against the enemy.
Yashna replied as she too summoned her Arcana spirit, "It is not about stopping him. It is about survival of the clan. Even if our entire clan village is massacred, as long as you are alive, you can still revive our clan. But, if Garcia family goes extinct, the Death clan would also cease to exist."
Azzy then went on summoning Vajra, the Black Lightning wolf, and said in a hushed tone, "Even if both of you try stopping him, there is no chance that my family survives for sure. I'll stop him here. You go and protect my family. Once you get them out of the village, use teleportation cards to send them away to a far place."
If the enemy's target is only him, he wouldn't have been worried, but the fact that his father is also a target made Azzy a bit nervous. A demigod can just directly go to the palace and destroy everything in a jiffy.
Even with his incredible strength, he still isn't a demigod and didn't have the Domain ability to lock the space around them and enforce the rules. If the enemy wants to go after his father, Azzy knew that he cannot just block his path.
Hence, he had to make sure soone like Yashna to protect his family. As a master assassin, she could at least take them to safety with her teleportation abilities.
As Yashna hesitates to follow his order, the visitor slowly descends, ignoring Francis floating before him, and landed gently on the battle arena with his hands in his pockets. He then took a glance at the audience who were in mixture of admiration, fear, and confusion, and then, at Azzy who seed overconfident in his eyes, "don't worry kid. I'm only here to take two lives.
I won't touch the rest of your family mbers apart from your father."
"Hmpf, you must have the ability to do that in the first place, idiot," replied Azzy in a haughty tone. He purposely tried to mock him so that the enemy place his attention entirely upon him.
Azzy's attempt of provoking him was successful as a frown of displeasure appeared on the visitor's face.
Azzy took it even further by raising the scythe and pointing the blade at him, pouring his soul energy into it, "Do you think just because you are a demigod and have the backing of Thanatos, you think you can go anywhere to bully the young? Today, you will either run away with tail between your legs or return to your master as a spirit."
"Preposterous," A thunderous roar escaped the visitor's mouth, making everyone shudder at once.
"Young master…" Yashna beca worried for this kid who seed like he was ready for the death. But, she still couldn't make the decision, on whether just to grab him and teleport away or listen to him.
Azzy waved the scythe and no longer paid attention to her, not wasting any more ti, "Vajra, attack."
*Grrrr*
The Black lightning wolf growled at the demigod, baring its fangs against him before charging forward at its maximum speed.
"Hmpf…." The visitor swung him arm casually as the wolf lunged at him. The black lightning wolf blasted away at the speed, crashing onto the ground and sliding for a couple of hundred ters away. "Just a re demigod? When I was roaming these lands as a demigod, your clan didn't even exist."
"A veteran demigod?" Yashna had like her heartbeat stopped for a second. Even Francis and other clan leaders realized that not even Qridus would be able to save them and they lost their silver lining of hope right away, upon hearing those words. Only the guardian god can defeat him but who can contact that person? Absolutely, no one.
However, Azzy's gaze was different. He didn't lose an ounce of confidence and gave a sharp reply, "Lived for more than a hundred thousand years and yet still act like an arrogant mortal, getting offended by every little thing. Thanatos' blessing is a waste upon you."
Azzy expected another roar from the enemy, but instead, the visitor beca calr and went on summoning a death scythe that looked almost identical to that of Azzy's, although a bit smaller. He glanced in his surroundings once again and then announced, "You know what. I changed my mind. I will kill every single mortal in this village in front of your eyes, and then, give you the death."
Azzy deeply frowned this ti.
He responded to the threat by summoning two more soul cards; the black crystalline lotus ca out in its flower form and beca his mount, and the Jinn ca out of the other soul card to float behind him like a bodyguard.
Followed by the appearance of Nun and Ruby, Azzy also took out the Adamantine Shield with the jewel of earth embedded in its center and equipped to his free left hand.
Looking down at the visitor who was surprised by the sight of two more powerful Arcana spirits and a cosmic jewel, Azzy said, "as I have quoted earlier, you need to have the ability to do that in the first place."
