Subjugation[2]

"Well, since you didn't agree to our simple requests, the only option left is to force you to agree, but with a twist, haha." 

Immediately after Samuel uttered these words arrogantly,

X's lips twisted beneath the mask.

And his eyes radiated a strong killing intent.

The killing intent sent shivers down Samuel's spine, causing the hairs on his body to stand on end.

"Subjugate us ... Do you know who you are dealing with? Even if you are under the protection of a peak 7-star magician, don't think that you are safe."

X's voice grew colder with each word he uttered.

"Do you think it's easy to bully my organization?"

Bam !

Crack !

Because of the unbridled anger that overwhelmed him, X broke his gray desk into two parts with his powerful fist. 

- Swirl.

The latter then seriously released his suffocating red aura into the room as he stared coldly at his uninvited guests.

X's powerful and invisible aura made the walls of the office quickly crack.

All the glass in the room broke.

And most of the furniture smashed against the office walls at a speed that was almost impossible to track with the naked eye.

The red aura surrounded X's body in a cylindrical shape, like a warrior ready for battle at any time.

"Hey, Chill "

However, Samuel remained completely unaffected.

Thanks to Magnus's shield, he didn't feel the pressure of X at all.

On the other hand, X calmed his nerves a little, but his killing intent didn't fade, and his threatening aura remained looming.

"Hahaha, you are very funny. You know I can extract information from you after you are imprisoned. Do you really think you stand a chance against my organization? Do...-"

"Huh, here we go."

Samuel interrupted X, who spoke like cartoon villains.

He hated talkative people,

Because they're one of the worst kind of people.

"You really are..."

X frowned at the other party's rudeness.

He intensified his aura, forming cracks on Magnus's shield.

And the ki inside his body started to burst uncontrollably.

X tended to get easily angered, especially when he got provoked by a weak person like Samuel.

"You know, I was afraid that you would accept my request. You should thank this stubborn old man who tried to give you a chance... Had it not been for him, I would have already proceeded with my original plan."

When Samuel finished speaking, a bright smile appeared on his face.

Fortunately, X made the worst choice. 

" But, since you refused, it's harvest time. Isn't it?"

Magnus's body trembled after hearing Samuel's words. 

"I sent the order ."

"Very Good"

Samuel had a wicked smile.

Then he calmly pointed towards X and ordered Magnus,

"Take care of him, don't kill him because I still need him.And you take care of our hidden guests."

"All right..."

Although Aaron was irritated by Samuel's words, the desire to fight burned in his eyes.

He was the fight-loving type.

X's anger rose to the utmost degree after hearing Samuel's disdain. 

He got angry, and didn't notice that Samuel and his followers attacked his organizations in a period of weakness because the key members of the shadow guild weren't present currently.

Even if he noticed, unfortunately he couldn't back out.

X casually snapped his fingers and several masked men dressed in black appeared.

-Swoosh-

The masked men released their aura, surrounding Samuel's trio from all angles.

- Scree.

After that, they skillfully drew their weapons.

X also unsheathed his sword from its black sheath, then got ready to fight.

He held his sword with his right hand and then stared coldly at Magnus.

Then he raised his sword,

At that moment, a large amount of energy surged from his body.

-Bang!

The pressure of a seven stars Knight filled the room.

And a powerful gust of wind spread out, pushing everyone away.

-Crack.

When the wind collided with Magnus's white shield, cracks appeared and it broke.

Then Magnus quickly formed ten layers of barriers around Samuel to protect him from the repercussions of the fight.

The latter knew that X was strong, but he realized he had underestimated him.

[Third Special Swordsmanship Skill: Void Slash]

X said coldly,

Immediately after, he charged towards Magnus like a thunderbolt, wielding a sword loaded with a huge amount of red ki, closing the gap between them in an instant. 

On the other side, Magnus pulled out his black cane out of nowhere.

He then enhanced his cane with his own explosive violet mana.

- Clank!

A powerful wave of energy swept through when the red sword collided with the black cane.

What followed was a startling sight.

Rather than the cane crumbling upon impact, the sword and its wielder bounced back.

"Do you think that magicians are weak in close combat? "

Magnus sneered.

He obviously didn't miss the gap in X's defense when he bounced back. He pushed his palm forward, making contact with X's body.

-BAM!!

A powerful explosion thundered and X was sent staggering backward, only stopping when his back crashed against the wall behind him .

"Because of the kidnapping of my little daughter, I swore to myself that I would get rid of my fatal weakness in close combat. So I learned an ancient skill that helps to strengthen the body's organs with mana. I am now confident that I could take a few hits from a powerful nine-star magician."

Magnus had the upper hand in their first real exchange.

-BAM!!

-BAM!!

-BAM!!

Not far from them, the situation with Aron seemed more controlled.

He skillfully blocked the incoming attacks from X's masked men.

Aaron stomped his right foot hard, creating a crack in the ground.

-Crack

Immediately, he quickly and skillfully manipulated mana to create a fearsome flaming bow.

- Pheew.

After that, Aaron chanted a set of 5-star spells,

Soon, a crimson arrow materialized above the bow.

In theoretical terms, the latter combined three 5-star magic spells at breakneck speed to create the crimson arrow.

Then, thanks to his excellent mana manipulation, Aron quickly divided the crimson arrow into many smaller, more threatening crimson arrows.

- Scree.

Aaron released the bowstring, sending red arrows flying toward the masked figures.

The arrows left crimson streaks in the air, creating a stunning and beautiful sight.

However, the masked men were prepared.

Upon seeing Aron's powerful attack, they chose not to panic as they formed several ki shields in front of them.

- Swish.

Once the shields were formed, Aron's attack reached his enemies' location.

-Crack!

-Crack!

-Crack!

The moment his attack touched the shields, many of them were torn apart as mana shards spread through the air.

However, despite its force, the attack couldn't break through the combined defense of numerous warriors.

It wasn't long before his attack completely disappeared, leaving the masked men behind unscathed.

"Tsk."

Staring at the scene before him, Aaron silently cursed.

If this continued, he would run out of mana before he can knock down his enemies.

Although it was too early, but he could tell that he was at a complete disadvantage. 

From the way things are going, there's a 50-50 chance he might lose.

"This makes me even more excited!!"
