Chapter 909: Chapter 824: You Want to See Me That Badly?
“————!”
As that icy voice echoed throughout the venue, an overwhelming sense of oppression instantly enveloped the entire place, causing everyone present to turn pale.
“Who…!?”
Mordo, the legendary Great Mage, was the first to respond accordingly, casting magic toward the source of the oppressive force without any hesitation.
It was an upper-level flame series magic, a single-target breakthrough type destructive magic — [Blazing Spear].
Magic Power was released with Mordo’s outstretched hand, transforming into a burst of explosive flames, shining with a fiery and blinding brilliance, charging toward the source of the oppression like a spear at an astonishing speed.
It must be said, this legendary Great Mage truly lived up to his reputation, able to cast upper-level magic in an instant, hardly chanting at all. It seems his [Chanting] skill is level 10, allowing him to forgo the spell to a certain extent while casting magic.
Even for upper-level magic, with the assistance of a level 10 [Chanting] skill, it’s not impossible to forgo the spell altogether and release the magic directly.
Of course, magic cast in this manner will definitely lose some power but makes up for it with its rapid activation and release.
It’s no wonder Mordo can unleash hundreds of upper-level spells on the battlefield without pause, incinerating tens of thousands of enemy troops.
However…
“Bang!”
The overwhelmingly powerful explosion was about to hit the target when it was directly swatted away by a slender, jade-like hand, dissipating into sparks in the air and vanishing between heaven and earth.
“What!?”
Mordo was startled.
“She swatted away the magic…!?”
The expressions of Misji, Joseph, Nobu, and Yule all slightly changed.
It was only then that everyone present clearly saw the full appearance of the newcomer.
It was a girl.
A girl with wings, hovering above the main gate of the Beizut Family, looking down on everyone with an extremely cold expression and extremely impatient eyes.
The oppressive aura, akin to dragon power, continuously rose from this seemingly delicate and boneless girl, causing everyone’s expressions to change again and again.
Yet, the girl disregarded everyone, even sarcastically speaking out.
“You humans never learn your lesson. The same yesterday and today, you know well that my master is a Hero, a person stronger than any of you, yet you still gather here to cause trouble. Do you really think we dare not kill you?”
As she spoke, the killing intent from her body truly emerged, making everyone’s hearts tremble.
That oppressive aura, that killing intent, all told everyone present that this girl was incredibly powerful, frighteningly powerful.
“…Hey, Wind Sword Saint.” Nobu forced a rather unpleasant smile and asked Joseph, “Do you have confidence you can beat her?”
Upon hearing this, Joseph fell silent.
After a long while, Joseph finally said a sentence.
“No.”
With this admission, everyone was stunned.
Because, the information conveyed within this simple acknowledgment was not insignificant.
It’s known that Joseph was already considered a top legendary strongman more than twenty years ago, and even if he hasn’t reached Limit Level yet, he should be not far from that step.
Just as Nobu mentioned before, Joseph’s strength, even when placed among the entire Human Race, is enough to rank in the top five.
He might be the strongest person here.
But even he claimed not to have the confidence to defeat that dragon-winged girl. What this implies, no one could ignore.
“Limit Level…?”
Cold sweat already dripped down Misji’s forehead.
“Is she from the Dragon Race?”
Mordo’s expression was equally unpleasant.
Only Yule, with a bitter smile, stood up.
“You must be Miss You Lin, right?” Yule saluted the girl in the sky and said, “I’ve heard that Miss You Lin successfully underwent Human Transformation, shedding her demon form and becoming even stronger than before. Truly remarkable, congratulations.”
At this moment, even someone like Pope Yule, who enjoyed an extremely high status in the Human Realm, was respectful toward You Lin.
Because he knew that this girl had not only transformed thoroughly but might have also reached the realm that these legendary strongmen dreamt of — Limit Level.
This is a level that hasn’t even been reached by anyone in the Dragon Race.
Now, such a strong person appeared and even seemed to regard Shane as her master, inferring the information behind this is enough to make one’s heart quiver with fear.
But You Lin didn’t soften her expression due to a few compliments from Yule.
“Don’t try that with me. Even if you compliment me, I won’t just calm down.” You Lin snorted coldly and said, “The master told me to guard the gate here, but you all gather here one after another, plotting to forcefully trespass. Do you really expect me to show you a kind face?”
You Lin’s words made everyone glance at each other.
Yule hurriedly spoke up.
“We didn’t mean to force our way in, we merely wish to visit Lord Beizut.”
Apparently, even someone of Pope Yule’s status wouldn’t dare to not make some cover-up regarding this matter.
Otherwise, if it is seen as a forced intrusion, then the Beizut Family dealing with them would be considered a justified self-defense.
Although they don’t believe that just the Beizut Family could handle so many forces and strong individuals here, Shane relies on the Divine Race and Demon Clan, with an Evil God Lillith in the family, such power is beyond their resistance.
Therefore, though there’s an impulsive element in this visit, they’re not here to openly offend Shane.
There’s no benefit for them in that.
They think more often that, given their status, even a Hero shouldn’t refuse their visit.
Thus, they’re not here to oppose Shane, at least maintaining appearances is the most appropriate approach.
Everyone understands that if they think these prominent figures came here without any consideration and planning, they’d be gravely mistaken.
However…
“You tell me, you set up this formation just to visit?”
Miss You Lin looked at Pope Yule and others with a glance that suggested disbelief, speaking out.
“You think I would believe it?”
This one sentence left the crowd somewhat speechless.
Indeed, if it’s about visiting, the scale of their approach does seem excessive.
Occupying the square at the entrance of the Beizut Family with the Knight Order and Guard Corps to isolate the area, gathering here one after another, discussing the “visit” without considering the owner’s feelings—people would even believe it’s coercion, or that they’re planning to take this place down without hesitation.
Visit?
That’s just an excuse.
“You all just want to see Sister Xiefuni, never considering my master’s wishes, right?” You Lin sneered. “In fact, are you worried that my master might do something to Sister Xiefuni?”
The crowd had nothing to say.
Though it’s naive and embarrassing, some indeed think that way.
Thinking that the goddess who disdained any man was rumored to be led away by Shane—and she seemed not to resist—it’s impossible for no one to entertain wild thoughts.
Frankly, there’s envy, jealousy, worry, and fear—all leading to this scene.
No choice, as a romance lasting over twenty years erupts, even the calmest person might lose composure.
Especially with a peerless charm like Sister Xiefuni’s, which creates undeniable attraction for men.
With all these reasons combined, these people couldn’t help but come.
Moreover, they took some forceful measures more or less.
As the crowd was left speechless, Misji, the King of Larabai, finally stepped forward.
“You misunderstood, Miss You Lin.” Misji smiled, saying to You Lin: “We just don’t want so many people crowding here, affecting the efficiency of the visit, so we overstepped thinking it was a good idea, hoping for forgiveness.”
“Exactly!” Nobu shouted: “Irrelevant people have no right to keep gathering here to disturb the Count of Beizut, right?”
“Since His Majesty the King and the Pope are here, naturally, unrelated personnel need to be sent away.” Mordo fittingly added: “It isn’t right for the esteemed figures to be squeezed with these folks, loudly calling out, is it?”
This explanation is quite reasonable.
Overall, these people’s efforts in maintaining appearances are quite sufficient.
After all, they are leaders of major forces, how could they act solely on impulse without any justification?
In any case, regarding status, Shane is still an Earl, and for the sake of reason and courtesy, he must reciprocate the attendees’ respect.
If a world-level kingdom’s king visits and receives a cold reception, even the Divine Race and Demon Clan would feel it unjustified, hesitant to openly back Shane, wouldn’t they?
Therefore, these people have indeed exerted much effort to meet Sister Xiefuni.
The other legendary strong figures and distinguished personalities also seize this opportunity to speak freely.
“We are just here to pay our respects.”
“Does the Count of Beizut intend to close the door on all of us?”
“The Hero is a champion of our Human Race, surely wouldn’t refuse to meet the leaders of our Human Race’s major forces?”
“Please, let us in.”
“Allow us inside.”
These individuals each made such statements.
“You guys…”
You Lin became inflamed, her oppressive aura growing even more terrifying.
As the Dragon Breath began gathering at You Lin’s lips, a figure suddenly appeared at the door of the Beizut Family.
“I really didn’t know you all wanted to see me so badly.”
The young Hero abruptly appeared, lifting his gaze, revealing a smile.
But in his eyes, there wasn’t even the slightest hint of mirth.
