Even though his elder was screaming on top of his lungs for him to stop attacking the guy was still aiming to strike at me from a place he thought that I won't be able to react if he attacked from .
I saw that he was attacking me with over 30 flying daggers that were all black as ink unlike the Silver Splitter that was in his hand, but he wasn't aware that I didn't even looked at him, even though I had already determined where he was standing, because I was laying a trap that should allow me to deal with him .
The guy's attack arrived, those flying black daggers were the ones that arrived first,but not a single one of them was able to leave a scratch on my skin, but my clothes were tattered, but luckily it seemed that this magical cloth have the ability to fix itself after it was given enough Mana .
The guy seeing that the invisible flying daggers he threw at me didn't work, didn't become disappointed or even thinking wisely for a split of a second before he charged at me, the Silver Splitter in his hand began to have a sinister aura around it, even its color and shape transformed and it now looked like a short knife more than a dagger, the aura that take the form of a sword knife was black and its edges were purple .
He directly slashed towards my neck, trying to slit me, but the next second he saw me disappear from his vision, making him hitting nothing but air, I expected that the power that that slash had would damage the wall by the shockwave it created, but other than the air shockwave that swept around the room, everything was still the same .
Which made me a bit surprised but also doubtful about what was going on in this area, does the characteristics of this area changed with what the changes that the demons arrival caused, if that slash would have been made outside of this tome like barrier that was engulfing the city .
I believe that it would have broken the space boundaries directly, like how my attacks before were able to or at least close to them, but here it wasn't able to do anything more, other than releasing some wind, that wasn't even enough to create a mess in the room .
But if they were to execute that much strength outside, they might have been also found out and dealt with by the Will waiting for them to make a move so that it can exterminate them and maybe even acquire some of that green energy it lost, I also wonder, whether will be dealt with in the same way if I were to use that much power later on, or will I be able to bypass that restriction, due to once being linked to the system it made, I really wonder .
The guy who failed with his attack just now, seeing that his attack failed, he directly tried to hide again in the shadows, yes, that guy was actually hiding himself in the shadows in the room, he was moving from one shadow to another while being in a weird shape, he was like a black slime slipping from one shadow to the next .
But I waited for him to stay still, before I summoned the sword that I liked to call Black Meteorite and directly slashed at the ground, the moment that sword crashed on the floor, a big hole appeared and that guy Jig was impound in it, coughing black blood and looking quite pathetic, his body seemed to be completely damaged and he was laying there still unable to even raise a finger .
I went into the hole and pulled him out of the pit he now laid in, it seemed that even though he was in that weird form, his form was still a bit tangible, meaning that he was still able to suffer from physical damage, so with ease, I was able to maime him in one attack, I wanted to teach him a lesson through the trap that I had already planned for him but it seemed that the preparations were wasted for nothing .
Just as I fetched that guy up from the pit and held him by the neck, much to the shock of his Elder who was still hanged on the walls of the room and was in need of someone to help him as well, he was yelling at me saying :
Don't, cough, don't do anything reckless now, I will apologize for what we just did, but I hope we will put an end to the enmity between our families here, what do you say .
Don't elder, I will beat him down, I still have a triumph card that that I hadn't used, I will kill him for offending .... .
Jig, shut the hell up already, don't you see the state I was in, stop saying anymore nonsense and apologized to that guy already, apologize .
Me, apologizing to him, not a chance, I will kill you sooner or later, what, afraid, I will keep pursuing you and once I deem that I had a good chance, I will kill you, apologize, huh, don't be kidding, that guy only fate is to die at my hands, I dare you to do the same for..... .
' crunching sound '
The guy who was still boasting just now about how will he restlessly keep coming after my life, got his neck suddenly twisted and was now laying in my hand as nothing but a warm corpse, he already lost the ability to answer the order that his elder was hysterically trying to make him do .
He died with a shocked expression on his face and opened mouth, his appearance returned back to normal, he was back to being blue colored imp, but weirdly enough, neither his face nor any of his facial features were recognizable .
Seeing the outcome of the battle, all the people present sucked a breath of cold air and like an enraged animal, the elder began to wail loudly and if not for the fact that he too was still impound in the wall, I would have suspected that he might have attacked me directly, thinking like that, I directly throw the body on the ground, agitating him even more, seeing him looking at me with deep resentment, I said :
" If you keep looking at me like this, you might be the next one to say goodbye to life, stop staring ate like that, he had it coming just as he first decided to attack, you should be thankful that he took the blame, I had already planned to kill you instead of him, oh yes, how did I forget this .
I said this and directly went to check the body of the dead blue imp, right in front of everyone present, I began to probe that guy body for anything that was worth finding and did found a Spatial Bracelet, this was what I was looking for, I was optimistic to see what might be stored into this bracelet, but I decided to postpone it for now, after all, opening it here to check might be a bit inappropriate .
I was able to hear the squeaking sound that Elder was making due to gritting his teeth, his mouth had traces of blood, I didn't know if that was out of anger or due to his injuries nor did I really care to ask .
I turned my head and saw that the guys who were holding the family's head from interfering and making things worse just now stopped trying to do so anymore, they let go of him at some point and was just standing there staring at me with wide eyes, I don't know whether were all of them are family's heads or not, but remembering what they did before and thinking that there was no better chance to show my dominance .
I directly released my aura as well at them, my aura was vast and powerful, after all it stemmed from the strength of my body and my unwavering confidence and determination, even though it was tainted with enough blood as any of theirs were, it was still able to strike fear in the heart of the weak willed among them and unnerve those who were strong willed .
Their auras combined crashed with mine after the first seemed to have been triggered by my own aura, the clashes and the exchange between the two sides didn't really last that long, just like with the battle that took place just now, both took seconds before the person who triumphed appeard .
In this case the triumph belonged to me, the moment my aura pushed back theirs, I saw that it directly swarmed them and began to stick to them like a second skin, my aura currently was similar to the color of obsidian, I saw the 10 families or those who represented them, were now being fixed in place, the weak-willed shuddered and had his body being forced to bow down, but they were still able to fight that urge .
And the others, or the majority of the people here were able to remove that effect completely but their expressions were still completely dark, those were the reactions of all the strong people in the room to what just took place, the scene of me standing beside the corpse of that Jig and the elder Levn being hanged on the walls behind me, were too much of a stimulation to all the people present .
For quite the long time, there were no voice other than the voice of the elder who was still wailing and howling like an animal and who was still trying to gather enough strength to pull himself out of the wall, but whether because he was imbued to the wall by a strong force or his injuries or phycological state being part of the reason, he was unable to pull himself out of being stuck in the wall .
Dorax :
Are you okay Callen ? .
The one who first to say something was none other than the patriarch and the current head of the family Dorax, I nodded at him then said loudly with a booming voice :
" How much was the combat strength of the Levern Family, family head ? .
My question caught the attention of many and helped them in regaining some of their composure back, the one who was shocked at my question, or just shocked in general was none other than Phyricos, then the the second most was the one whom I was asking this question, the family head .
He seemed to have already seen through the reason to why I was asking this all of a sudden and he didn't say anything at first, he just kept silent and kept looking at the door that was on the opposite side of the entrance which we entered through, that door hadn't been opened to this second .
Seeing him looking at that door, it didn't take me that much to understand that he was asking help in dealing with this situation from whoever was behind that door, he was asking for the help of King Devo, who might be able to contain me perhaps or at least put me in place .
Seeing that he was no intention to answer me, I changed my question to another one that suddenly appeared on my mind, I said :
" Dorell family head's Dorax, where did the Levern Family used to sit before, I will be sitting there from now on .
As if my previous actions weren't already absurd enough, I once again asked a question that made all the faces of the people here seemed to be quite unsightly, some even tried to release their aura again, but they soon recalled it back just as mine began to unintentionally get triggered again .
I saw that he once again had no intention to respond to my question, but the one who replied to my question with a question was none other than Phyricos, the guy who had only recently and finally was able to close his opened wide mouth, he said in a way formal tone than before :
Young Callen, why exactly do you want to sit in the chair that belonged to the Levern Family, your family had already a chair on the meeting table .
" Well, the short answer was that I don't like standing that much and seeing that no other chairs were free for me to sit on, I believe that sitting on the only free and empty seat was the right thing to do, don't you also agree, family head Phyricos ? .
The blunt words of mine, in addition to the lack of respect in my tone, shocked all of them again, I saw that the expression on Phyricos hadn't changed much and already accepted the fact that this guy whose hair was fiery red, was actually not a person who got offended by things like this, I had understood that from his reaction .
But this sadly doesn't have anything with whether you liked it or not, this was a protocol agreed upon by us the Founding Families and the King, it have nothing to do with your liking, it was unchangeable .
" Who decided that it was unchangeable ?.
Us here and Demon Emperor, what do you want to challenge his majesty's words, do you want to rebel ? .
His tone grow more and more forceful as he continued to speak more and more, as if his words were the source of his strength, his valor skyrocketed the moment he mentioned the Demon Emperor, it seemed that I misjudged that guy, I thought that he was more smart than just began to say these kind of words .
" Rebelling, did you labeled me as such just because I wanted to take a seat, why don't you Phyricos ask me about the long answer to the question you asked before, do you want to know the long answer to why I Callen would be eligible to set on that chair .
Oh, go ahead, we are all ears to hear what exactly do you have in mind, I really want to know what give you the right to act so presumptuous here .
" Well, since you asked,so nicely, I will tell you that one thing gave me the right to do what I did, I don't know why you would ask about something so clear in front of you .
" I'm strong enough that would be my answer, if you don't think that I'm strong enough to be acting as willful as I liked, you can go ahead and challenge me .
" If you are stronger than me, then you can deal with me however you liked, but if you aren't, then my advice to you, is not to bring the same disaster that is about to fall on the Levern Family, that bring me to the point where I will be stating why I said I'm eligible to sit there It's quite simple actually .
" FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, THE LEVERN FAMILY WILL BE A VESSEL TO US IN THE DORELL FAMILY .
