Not Enough To Convince

"What do you regret, O King?" Arzlan has not hesitated to raise his voice, he is really fed up with every action of the creature he sees.

"I actually feel guilty for causing trouble with you, please don't prolong this matter any longer!"

Arzlan's eyes narrowed, it was very clear to his ears that Ariesta had an observation of him. There are two types of enemies to watch out for, firstly those who rely on strength and secondly those who think so calmly that they can guess everything that happens. Arzlan felt that Ariesta who was a dangerous opponent, the intuition possessed by that man could change the course of a war.

"I told you from the start, that we only came to escort the three elves from this kingdom, but your son has quite the bad character! Honestly, when I saw him, I wanted to cut his tongue and gouge out his eyes so he would know that there are things that he won't be able to understand!"

Everyone felt angry hearing Arzlan's words, it was only natural because the prince who was the symbol of the Shui Kingdom was insulted like a lowly, insignificant creature.

The atmosphere began to be colored by the murmurs of people accompanied with murderous glares.

"Silence!" Ariesta raised his voice to silence the atmosphere. "I can't deny it, I have failed in educating children. I hope he can become a wise leader, but the reality is quite the opposite. I no longer hope to see a bright future for this kingdom!"

Arzlan didn't know whether to believe the man's words or not, his tone sounded so sincere, but the poisonous creature would certainly have a beautiful color to be able to disguise its poison, if here he believed too much in Ariesta's words, in the future there might be a nightmare will happen to him.

Arzlan let out a breath with a faint smile. "I don't think you need to be so sad about it, the reality now has shown whether your son can lead or not, in the future you should be able to choose better things for the future of this kingdom!"

"O-Okay! Master, may I know where is the place of the village you lead!"

This topic might be a catastrophe if Arzlan said it, but that man's intentions were still not very clear.

"I have led a village that I named Noctem, it is located in the western part of the forest!"

"Is that so, I'll remember that name!"

After saying that Arzlan and Alisha right away eft the palace, they were both still suspicious of Ariesta. A strange and endless feeling continued to creep over them.

On the seat of the throne, Ariesta pensively with heis head resting on his right hand. "What was that actually? Why is a creature like that here? That power…" Ariesta's eyes clearly caught something strange from Arzlan's body, the great energy that enveloped that man was able to make his body tremble violently.

Arzlan does not cover his face while crossing the town, he will not care what everyone will say. A huge aura was spread out to cause intimidation to everyone, evidently, everyone started to get scared and hid to some safe place.

Still afraid of them what Arzlan said during the match, that great power no one would be able to imagine how he destroyed an entire city.

Alisha glanced around. "Is everyone so much afraid of Master Arzlan's presence?"

About 30 minutes they walked and finally got out from the townenvironment, they were in the forest, don't know where they were now, the forest seemed unfamiliar to them.

"Master Arzlan which way do you think we should take?"

"We'd better follow the direction of all the memories I've collected!" Arzlan tried to remember every path he had ever walked when he was caught by Aleister.

On the other side, there had been a tumultuous event in the eastern region near the Demon King's border, they were currently facing a fierce battle from the monsters that had suddenly come to attack the fortress.

"Everyone prepare to attack!" The Duke of Tristan has tried to anticipate every attack that comes, he is the best knight from the Scaveola Kingdom. Growing up in an environment of poor people made his stance stronger to deal with any existing problems.

Haru seriously turned the pages of the magic book he had studied for these 3 months, he didn't care about what was happening outside.

Inside the library, Haru spends time alone just learning new and powerful magic.

A soldier entered the library room, the sound of the armor he was wearing broke the silence.

"Hero Haru, we need your help, right now the monsters are coming in very large numbers!"

Haru raised his eyes. "Isn't the royal army strong enough to defeat them?"

"That's right, the Duke of Tristan is currently trying to ward off them, but the strength of the soldiers is not comparable to that of the monsters.

Haru closed his book so that the dust on the book flew. "Alright, I'll give those monsters a little bit to not mess up my precious time!"

In front of the fortress, the monsters already trying to break, some of them had flown over to fight the soldiers and the large monsters kept banging their weapons against to gate.

The sound that was produced was so loud, all the residents in the fort were getting scared The gate is also not intact anymore, some parts have looked damaged. They panicked, the only way was to go to the central courtyard of the fort which was the castle area of the fortress.

The situation was so chaotic that some of them had to be prepared to endure the pain of the overcrowding.

"Damn it, how is this!" Tristan was increasingly unable to focus, both sides were in a precarious situation. One of the residents who were in chaos and the other facing the monsters that kept coming.

A soldier approached Tristan and said, "Leader Tristan, Hero Haru has arrived in front of the fort!"

"What?" Tristan looked towards the left side of the fort, it was true there had been seen a large light that formed a ball of yellow energy.

Everyone fell silent when they saw it, they focused on the one who used that magic which was none other than Haru

The monsters started to panic, they tried to retreat as far as possible, but it was too late the diameter of the ball was too big for them to avoid.

"I'm going to end this, you guys who have been interrupting my time! Explosion Dead End!"

Kaboom!!!

Huge waves hit the entire area.
