Chapter 264 - Death Of The Minister
'Swoosh'
The old man Bernard noticed that Lucas was looking at him and he wanted to show the Hellmore family's signature move.
With a light tap on the ground, Bernard flew into the air and jumped into a group of royal generals.
'Is he seeking death?'
This was the thought in the heads of the royal generals because the old man clearly had around the same or less than their strengths. So, other than seeking his own death, the royal generals didn't think much as they used their powerful attacks on him.
"Descent of asura"
However, the old man Bernard was a little faster than his enemies as his body emitted a fiery aura that made everyone around him hurriedly move away from him.
'Swoosh'
In the next second, the two short swords in the old man's hands released fiery flames which extended to three meters in length.
Not only the short swords, but even the old man's eyes were also replaced with two small flames.
"Now, it's slaying time."
As soon as he finished his words, Bernard's speed increased to the point where Lucas could barely see and everywhere he went, he would leave the trail of bodies.
Within less than 10 seconds, Bernard killed 20 royal generals as he still continued as though he was possessed by something.
"Holy…"
Seeing the trail of bodies left behind Bernard, Lucas was shocked to the core and in the next moment, he felt excited because the technique belongs to the Hellmore family and he could learn it whenever he wanted to.
'Once I learn this technique, I will even fight the fighters with higher grades in the [Fighting arena]. Also, while breaking through to the next rank, it will be very useful.'
Lucas felt he needed to learn it; however, he also thought of something, 'But, why didn't he say anything about the Family' secret technique until now?'
This was the doubt that made Lucas frown as he felt there might be some complications in learning the secret technique.
'Anyway, everything will become clear once I ask the old man about it.'
For now, Lucas decided to leave it as he focused on killing the royal generals.
….
"Minister, what is happening? How can our men die just like that?"
The head of the royal generals who were observing the battle inside the Silverstone town was shocked when he saw his men were getting killed within a matter of seconds.
"I..I don't know. How can this small town become so powerful in such a short time without any help from the outside world?"
The old minister also frowned when he heard the head of the royal general's words as his forehead was covered with sweat.
The battle that was happening inside the Silverstone town was completely one-sided and Lucas' followers were completely dominating it without giving any chance for their men.
"Minister, use your Master spells while I protect you from their attacks."
The head of the royal generals could not take it anymore as he suggested to the minister about attacking.
"Yes. Let's go."
Since his spells have limited distance, the old minister had to move closer to the town; however, moving closer would make him the target.
That's the reason, the head of the royal generals said that he would protect the old man.
"Ancient slayer lynx, now, do it."
Lucas was waiting for the minister and the head of the royal generals to enter the town and seeing that they entered it, he directly gave the order to one of the strongest lynxes.
Since most of the royal generals were taken care of by Bernard, two rank 5 elemental lynx, rank 5 raging fire lynx, Lucas knew it would not affect them much for using the ancient slayer lynx to attack the minister and head royal general.
"Roar"
With a loud roar, it rushed towards them like a bullet.
"Minister, don't stop chanting. I will stop that beast."
The head of the royal general gritted his teeth as he stood in front of the old man and used, the 'Mirror barrier'
A mirror appeared in front of the royal general as he used even more skills to strengthen the defence of that mirror barrier.
'Enraged state'
'Advanced protection'
After adding everyone, the mirror in front of the head of the royal generals looked very strong.
"Slayer, release all your weapons."
Lucas ordered the slayer lynx with a slight smile as he had already expected the other party to use a defence move because he had to protect the old man.
Soon, more than 24 weapons came out of the slayer lynx's body as they all rushed at the mirror.
'Clang'
'Clang'
'Kacha'
'Kacha'
The first few weapons were blocked by the mirror; however, as the weapons continued to rush at the mirror, it started cracking before disappearing into thin air.
'What?'
The head of the royal general was shocked as he didn't expect his strongest defensive move would be broken in less than five seconds.
'Slash'
'Slash'
'Puchi'
Once the mirror disappeared, the remaining weapons all targeted the head of the royal general and the old man.
Some weapons made small cuts, some were dodged while some of them were pierced through their bodies.
'How can I…'
The head of the royal generals fell to the ground as he looked at the ancient slayer lynx that continued to release more and more weapons.
Actually, they thought the mirror barrier had stopped most of the weapons and they could dodge the remaining ones easily; however, what they didn't notice was that the slayer lynx was continuously releasing more and more weapons.
'How did it turn out like this?'
The old minister, who was calculating everything from the beginning, never imagined something like this was possible as he fell to the ground.
'Sorry, your majesty. I can't keep my promise.'
Even after his death, his eyes looked like he was unconvinced with his death as he had yet to kill a single person from the Silverstone town.
