Flay is an abusive, masochistic, unmerciful, vile, and insidious man who loves to devour infants during his afternoon breakfast.And yes, it would be in the afternoon, but who would dare correct Flay if he calls his second meal in the day, which is also in the afternoon, to be breakfast?This was the rumor that would soon spread out among the men of the Westerfort who had suffered tremendously in the hands of Flay.Flay attacked a team of fifty men, with several monsters at the level of High Apprentices or Adepts. They even had an expert with them, Richard, who had the strength that could keep up with Experts!But they lost all confidence in front of the monster before them.As the Battle Steed ate the core parts of Arvenaught, the power of teleporting became possible. But through Neptune, Flay was making Dark Ice that coated the B
Ligz, Scythe, and Elaine fought for dear life.The others had their break, as Flay now had a new toy he was playing with.The Expert Swordsman also regained his wits and glanced around him, shocked that everyone was alive.“We’re… alive?!”“He does that… He fights you and brings you as close as he can to actual death! But that mother critcher got stronger! I can’t resist the killing intent he shoots at me!” Richard cursed at the side. He was still trembling and stood up. He did better than the swordsman, who was still forcing his body up.“Everyone! He is just training us! So stand up! This is your chance to push beyond your capabilities!” Richard shouted.“He’s right! Stand up and fight! And there will be no horrors left to scare you! Stand up, and you will be stronger! How many of you lost the will to fight when the Anomalous Beast came? More of them will appear! Your families will die! And they will face the horrors and fears that manifest before us! So stand and fight!” The Expert
Flay saw them and bowed.Around the Duke were the Count, the Viscounts, and the Baron families of the Westerfort Dukedom.Except for the Blazer Baron family and the Diasons, every one of noble heritage was there.“Duke Kanter. Your majesties... What brings you all here?”“As you can see, I have succeeded. Every royal lineage in this Dukedom now serves me. Moreover, the information that Xandra gave to prove how the Esterfort and Southerforts were in league with the Abdons has solidified everyone’s heart to fight for us. After all, who wants to be food to an army of Anomalous Beasts?” Kanter chuckled.“Your master also persuaded them with several pills crafted to heal certain ailments that plagued us.” A familiar noble next to the Shield Emperor spoke as he glanced at his son, who was lying d
The team of Barons was being dragged out of the training arena.The strongest member, a high-leveled Adept, was barely walking out of the room alone.He was like a dying plant that could wither at the lightest breeze that would hit it.Next to him were his family members. His sons and daughter, who desired to take the fighting profession, were all being dragged out.He had an empty bladder and was severely dehydrated from crying. The soldiers looked at him with pity. He was one of the Barons that had never experienced fighting on hunts and thought that fighting monsters were beneath him.His family was not present during the attack on the wall as they were busy managing their land close to the Northerforts.But now, the orders to recall and fight were made. He wholeheartedly supported Duke Kanter and, in loyalty, agreed to the session. But he never knew what monster they had fought.They saw the Tamers and the collapsed soldiers and thought that the group had a melee and left Flay the
Flay disagreed with Arthen’s suggestion. They didn’t have any time to begin training in a Fighting Profession. This was one of the goals and deals he had secured with Astoria and Kanter. But in the immediate threat, getting a Fighting Profession would be too inefficient with the remaining time they had. “Let’s say some of you train in using Richard’s Brute power to make an explosive charge… This is the skill that Knights have for their charge. Richard modified it. How long would you guys need to master that? It’s useless to train that with the coming threat! By the time we face those Warlocks, that little skill you practice won’t be of any use in combat! And for the skills that you can learn, it won’t be too strong! I feel that skills aren’t useful in our current scenario. If these knights, swordsmen, archers, lancers, ninjas, and other classes have a skill, we have our unity with our monsters. Frankly, Skills and techniques only really matter when you are a Great Expert. That’s what
Flay was impressed at the plan of Arthen. Nevertheless, his heart felt conflicted because of his desire to kill, and his thirst for vengeance had been slowly affecting him.“I guess Pluton is really affecting me. Now that I think about it, I should have had Arthen and Clint’s way of thinking. I’m sure Xandra and the rest had this planned.” Flay sighed.“Alright. I agree with your plan.” Flay nodded.William and his family continued to listen to the discussion of the group.As Arthen proposed things regarding the Tamers, the Diasons stood by and waited, and Liathel kept observing Flay and gathering Brute energy to make her attack.Flay glanced at Liathel and smiled as the killing intent surged on her, and she lost concentration.BANG!The Brute
Clint and Arthen were on the floor and had fainted from the battle.The Diasons were also in a similar situation.Flay used a massive amount of his power to threaten the team.“Amazing. Arthen managed to hit me.” Flay chuckled as he rubbed his jaw.Arthen had orchestrated a desperate attack and found a way to lead Flay to move a certain way and release a punch.The blow was weak and barely hurt Flay, but the act itself was amazing.“So he wasn’t bluffing when he said he could defeat the Scarless Barbarian. I bet he already saw through the power of the Scarless Barbarian.” Flay chuckled as he glanced at his collapsed allies.He puffed his chest and looked in pride at his team's progress.“Master… Now that we have time… There is something I would like to propose.” Kairo suddenly spoke.“What’s up?”“It’s about their plan to create a fighting profession. Unfortunately, there is a flaw in that plan.”“A flaw?”“A flaw that we could easily resolve. This flaw is that this kingdom doesn't ha
The confusion within the kingdom was too much. The escalation of battles, betrayals, and the purging of people that Galantcros believed to be in service with the Abaddons was happening. The Southerforts and the Northerforts were treated as the primary suspects by many. Xandra found Galantcros’s actions very suspicious and believed that one who serves the Abaddons is within Galantcros. But to deflect suspicions, they tossed the evidence over to the two forts in the south and east. The Northerfort and the Westerfort also had investigations, but it wasn’t as great as those in the Esterforts and the Southerforts. This was because the West and the North had already defeated an army and managed to bring the corpses of the beasts. Prince Veil was also adamant about defending the two and intended to move his base to the west. The confusion was too much that even Xandra had to leave the west and journey out to help the Warlocks gather and move toward the west. The plans they set weren’t mo
