Loopholes? [C121]

Hearing the system acting innocent, Shu Himo frowned, 'It must be your fault, there is no other explanation!'

[The system is sure that the User is insane. There is no way the news about the User conquering the Kingdom could reach this place faster than the User's running.]

'But you said that I could view with the map function only what I had authority on! How is possible that this place was already visible?'

[Conquering the capital signifies that every territory of the Kingdom fell in the User's hands, so it is only normal that the User could see them from the map function. If the territory afterward decides to revolt, it will then become an area covered in fog.]

'System, you are full of loopholes yet you keep finding excuses for them! Calling you just shameless would be an understatement!'

[The system is fair and just, the concept of shamelessness is not usable when referring to the system.]

'I can't help but notice that you did not refute the fact that you are full of loopholes…' After the last phrase from Shu Himo, the system stopped replying.

Sighing, Shu Himo looked toward the guards and knew that there was no solution to it, so he turned toward Aura Azusa and sleepily said, "Remember to not kill them… they are still part... of my Kingdom…"

However, he suddenly widened his eyes in shock, why was she sit down on the ground, as if waiting?

"I'm too tired… please do it, I would just throw a Solar Orb…" With eyes about to shut down, she appeared to be forcing herself to not merely eradicate the obstacles between her and a place to sleep.

Feeling cheated, Shu Himo turned to look at Phylia, however, he noticed that she was looking toward him with excited eyes as if anticipating to see him easily overwhelming the guards.

How could he betray such a cute expression?

Smiling confidently, he forced himself to stand up and looked toward the guards with eyes half closed, "I'm quite tired… come at me all together so we'll be done quickly…" Revealing his cultivation realm, he began to emit a tremendous pressure on the guards.

"Dantian Core Formation of the 7th string?!" The guards seeing his cultivation level paled in fright, how could they fight such a monster?

"Don't worry! You can see that he is extremely tired, so we may have a chance! Hold him here, I will quickly call the commander!" Said that, the man immediately started running toward the cabin of the commander.

"Oh! With the commander, we may be able to beat him!" Nodding fervently, the guards believed to be able to beat Shu Himo and raised their weapons toward him.

Suddenly, one guard dashed toward Shu Himo, slashing with his sword. The guard was in the Dantian Core Formation realm of the 1st string.

Following the attack of the guard, over ten guards also dashed and attacked Shu Himo with their weapons.

Seeing their attacks Shu Himo smirked, "Such small attacks... aren't going to work on me..." Even if his limbs felt heavy due to the fatigue, how could he show to have difficulty against such attacks?

Staring at the attacks, Shu Himo analyzed their trajectory and thought of the best way to evade them.

Toward him, three spears were aiming his torso, a sword was going for his right shoulder and lastly an axe toward his legs. None of the attacks were lethal, and the guards didn't possess any killing intent.

At that moment, the guards felt their own soul to be exposed in front of Shu Himo as if there weren't secrets their moves could hold. With grim expressions, they still proceeded the attack, hoping to resist enough time for the commander to come.

Lightly shaking his head, Shu Himo drowsily said, "It was better to just let me pass… In exchange for this rudeness today… today you will all sleep outside…"

As if falling toward the right, Shu Himo dodged easily the attack from the sword and the spears, he then posed his right hand on the ground, acting as a foothold to give a thrust and sent a kick toward the closest guard, sending it flying on top of the other guards.

Not having time to react, all the guards ended up on the ground, feeling pain in all the body due to the impact.

"Urgh…" Groaning in pain, they looked at Shu Himo in fright, only to see him standing up again and looking at them with an expression that appeared as if he didn't sleep for a year, "So… give… us… beds..."

Shu Himo felt increasingly tired each second passed, and swore to himself to never run that much again.

Seeing him act like that they all felt wronged, why do you act as if you were tired yet you still defeat us effortlessly?

Suddenly, the commander reached the place, and seeing everything was dumbfounded, just what happened here?

"Who are you? Identify yourself!" Knowing that someone who could defeat easily the guards could not be someone unimportant, the commander immediately asked. Earlier he didn't ask much to the guard, however, he already began to regret doing so.

Seeing the commander Shu Himo raised his eyebrow, a Nascent Soul? Not caring too much about it, he replied, "As I said... I am Shu Himo... from the Shu Kingdom. I conquered the Remir Kingdom… so just... give us a place to sleep!"

The commander was bewildered, this explanation was so half-assed as if he didn't care at all! Frowning, he decided to let him sleep for the night and ask tomorrow, after all, if what he said was true, wouldn't he be risking his neck by refusing?

Naturally, he noticed that not only Shu Himo was strong, but even the other two, especially the girl seated on the ground gave him a threatening feeling.

Nodding he smiled, "I will arrange for you a place to sleep right now, sorry for the rudeness the guards had."

Initially, Shu Himo thought to take directly the home of the leader to sleep, however seeing him acting respectful, coupled with how tired he was, he just nodded and followed him, together with Aura Azusa and Phylia.
