The King of Lanthanor's jaw dropped as he viewed the two figures standing in the air and looking at him as if he were an insect.
Their emotions were quite clear in their eyes and their expressions. It was apparent that both of them thought that they were highly superior to him, and that it was quite a boon for him to even look at them.
The one on the left was a tall, thin man wearing very tight-fitting black clothes with a robe underneath. His eyes had an additional aspect of rabid craziness, almost as if he were a mad dog that had been released from its leash. He reminded Daneel vaguely of the Mad Doctor, but that man's madness couldn't even e close to what he was seeing here.
As for the other figure, he was quite strange.
He was very short. According to Daneel's estimation, he was definitely not taller than 3 feet.
He wore a top hat as if to add more height to his figure, and he was wearing a very old-fashioned three-piece suit plete with a monocle.
All in all, he seemed to be some high-class noble that had mistakenly walked into this scene.
The thin man's lips curled as he observed the King of Lanthanor viewing him, following which a loud sound appeared greeted Daneel's ears.
Boom!
Crack!
The first was a sonic boom, as the thin man had just shot toward Daneel at a blinding speed.
As for the other, it was the sound of the many glass windows in the Palace breaking at once due to the vibrations of the man's movement.
Actually, he wasn't moving that fast, and if Daneel activated the Basilisk's Breath, he was pretty confident that he could hope to dodge the blow.
Of course, Daneel did no such thing, as no one could know that he was in possession of such a high-grade inheritance.
Boom!
A foot landed squarely in the middle of his chest, making him fly back due to the momentum and crash through the throne before exiting the palace itself.
Instead of landing the kick and stepping back, the thin man had followed along with Daneel while the latter flew, keeping his foot in contact with Daneel's chest.
Only when the King lost momentum and was about to fall to the ground did he finally move a little bit back, before launching another kick from above that shot Daneel to the ground, instead of letting him fall freely.
Thankfully, they were still in the area of the Palace, which meant that there was only soft ground below Daneel.
With another loud sound, he landed in a large crater and coughed out blood.
Daneel wasn't even faking it. He really was pretty injured, as he had neglected the system's warning which had been given right before impact. If he wanted, he could have asked the system to deploy multiple levels of barriers which would have easily decreased the amount of damage he would take, but again, it would expose that he was in possession of so many more tricks up his sleeve than he let on to the outside world.
So, he took the full brunt of this attack and was a little surprised when the system told him that it was merely at the Amateur Champion level.
Wasn't this man a hero?
"AAAAAHHHHH!"
As soon as this question appeared in Daneel's mind, he felt that same foot on his chest again, which seemed to be the favorite spot of this man. He pressed down right above his heart, making Daneel scream out with pain while trying to use both his hands to get that foot off the top of his chest.
"Hello, King. Am I addressing you with enough respect?
