Loyalty? [C111]

The three men could not believe what was happening, that was the reason he was shocked?! Why does he even care about that?

Feeling insulted, they tightened their fists in rage, ready to attack Shu Himo.

Suddenly, Shu Himo felt a finger poking his shoulder, and puzzledly looked behind, noticing that who touched his shoulder was Aura Azusa.

Looking at her eyes filled with fighting intent, he immediately knew: she wanted to fight those three. Clearly, she was still annoyed by not have fought against the army.

Holding his laugh, Shu Himo said, "Just one moment, I need to test one thing." Taking out his scythe, he stared the three for a moment, but then looked disappointed, even they weren't enough?

Lately, Shu Himo had a problem: no matter who he fights, the scythe won't acknowledge them as worthy! How was he supposed to make it level up to Legendary quality like this?

Thinking back how a mere bandit leader was enough to obtain the first out of ten worthy kills, Shu Himo felt dejected, does this mean that those three in front of him were more useless than that bandit leader?

Sighing, he put back the scythe in the storage and said, "These three guys are useless too… Azusa, feel free to do what you want with them…"

Hearing him, the three men spurted blood, 'What you mean by saying that we are useless?'

As if that wasn't enough, seeing his depressed expression they felt that he was serious when he said that… 'At least don't show your disappointment like that! We will feel bad... you know?!'

Ignoring their expressions, Shu Himo backed off, and looked toward the crowd that was watching, "Everyone back off, beware of the explosions please."

Hearing him they were puzzled, what was he talking about? Feeling threatened, the crowd took a couple step backs just to be sure.

Meanwhile, Aura Azusa readied herself, "Are you three ready, useless guys?"

No one noticed when, but she was now flying in the sky, over twenty meters high. Revealing her cultivation realm, everyone noticed that she was in the Nascent Soul realm in the 2q-Melody Soul.

The faces of the three immediately darkened, "Who are you calling useless guys? Just because you can fly, you think you will beat us?"

Chuckling to his question, she raised her arm toward the three, and chanted, "Meteor Shower."

Abruptly the sky seemed to break, and from many cracks, over twenty tremendous meteors began to fall towards the three men.

Witnessing the meteors, the crowd paled in fright, what kind of spell was that? The impact was big especially on the commoners, who were all at low cultivation realms, and began to escape as if viewing the coming of the end of the world.

The three men seeing the meteors were shocked, she can just create them like that? Not having other choices, they took their weapons and waited until the meteors came closer.

Finally, one of the three men jumped toward the closest meteor and slashed it with his sword, splitting it in half, however, what he didn't expect would be to see the meteor suddenly exploding!

*BOOM*

With over ten meters in radius, the explosion seemed to destroy everything, killing instantly the first Nascent Soul expert who had split the meteor.

Witnessing this scene, everyone finally knew what Shu Himo meant with 'Beware of the explosions', and rejoiced to have stepped away earlier.

The other two Nascent Soul experts, seeing the death of the first were horrified, does this mean that all of those meteors were going to explode? If that was true, doesn't it mean they have no way to defend?

Their faces paled, and they both retreated, dashing outside the area where the meteors were falling.

Meanwhile, Shu Himo seeing their expressions reminisced about the past… around a year after they started the daily training, they slowly removed the limitations they precedently had, and when he noticed that a meteor exploded he was also shocked like that.

The reasons the meteors didn't explode during the test at the Academy, was because they were blocked by either the headmaster, Met-3, or directly destroyed by the explosion the formation of Shu Himo.

However, suddenly discerning one thing, Shu Himo frowned, he was about to take this kingdom, if they were to destroy everything in the area, wouldn't he need to adjust it later?

Seeing how spineless the two men were Shu Himo sighed, it seemed like he had to stop the meteors by himself.

In total, there were 21 meteors falling from the sky, and to stop the explosion to destroy everything, he would need to destroy each of them before they reached the ground.

Taking out the scythe, he looked at the closer one and used stacked [Hopper_x2] jumping toward it.

*Tump*

Crushing on the meteor with his feet, he split it in half with the scythe, and immediately used [Hopper] again, jumping toward another meteor.

*BOOM*

Behind him, the meteor suddenly exploded, however, Shu Himo was already out of its range so instead of suffering damage, he simply got propelled toward the next meteor.

Grinning, he slashed with the scythe toward the next meteor, splitting it in half, and used [Hopper] once again; but this time dashing toward the ground.

*Boom*

*Tud*

As the sound of the explosion echoed everywhere, Shu Himo reached the ground, looking towards the next meteor and using again stacked [Hopper_x2], repeating the same scene of before.

Aura Azusa did not stop him, she also noticed that she exaggerated a bit, however, she did not try to stop the meteors, she wanted to give a chance to Shu Himo to show off as that would be the quickest way to make everyone submit to him.

A couple of moments later a single meteor remained, but it was barely 15 meters of altitude from the ground!

Knowing that he could not lose time, Shu Himo immediately used stacked [Hopper_x4], vanishing abruptly from the view of anyone.

*Boom*

Before anyone could realize what happened, the meteor already exploded, and Shu Himo suddenly reappeared on the ground.

'That was close… I had to jump slightly toward the left of the meteor to destroy it while dodging the explosion at the same time…' Hiding his startled expression, he looked again toward the two Nascent Soul realm experts, however, seeing them he widened his eyes in shock.

"We swear loyalty to the Shu Kingdom!"

The two were kneeling in front of him, swearing loyalty hoping to not get killed. While they were startled by the attack from Aura Azusa, they still believed to be able to fight her, yet seeing the speed of Shu Himo they felt that no matter what they did, they would have no way to survive against him.

Seeing how they were acting, Shu Himo felt troubled, 'Where is their loyalty for their Remir Kingdom? How can I trust them?'

As if hearing his question, he heard a familiar sound from the system.

*Ding*

[Someone swore loyalty to the User.]
