Chapter 41: CHAPTER 40 : Aura

 

The wind rustles the grass in the surrounding with several shivering men standing in semicircular formation, leaving a wide open area in the center. In front of them was a frowning woman who seemed to be there leader, they all stare at the approaching man in a black robe with different expressions. But he seemed not to notice as he continued walking calmly towards them, at least that is how it seems in the eyes of the surrounding people. 

Kat looked at the fallen men from time to time, wondering how he had taken them down. with Every passing second she would tries to listen with her ear for any suspicious movement in case the strange man had any helper. 

Sometimes she sniffs with her nose, trying to smell anything out of ordinary. 

Haru looked at her behavior and chuckles inwardly."Unfortunately all her little actions couldn't escape his sharingan" 

'Pain?' Remembering the man's words made Kat frown, she raised her guard as the Man finally stopped about 5 meters from her. 

[I must say, I was afraid you won't come] She said, looking behind her again and trying to detect anything unusual. 

[Well, when you are inviting me so cordially, how could I refuse?] He replies while think "She is too cautious." 

[Enough Nonsense, Your 'activities' has been disrupting our supply chain and it's becoming a nuisance] She suddenly says with a sharp tone after deducing that there was no one else. 

[And??.] Haru asked while tilting his head slightly. 

His mild response took her off Guard, rendering her speechless for a few seconds, 

[There's no need for so much talk Kat] An arrogant voice suddenly sounded out before continuing [Hey, I see your cultivation is quite good...why don't you join us and we'll forget your shenanigans, if not don't blame me for not being polite] 

Soon an Aura filled with thick strong Mana spread from the location of the voice, accompanied with The stench of blood. The rustling in the bushes. 

Immediately, the Frown on Kat's face deepened but she chose not to say anything while Haru turned to the direction the Aura came from and thought silently "Hmm, another King class just like the girl huh...shouldn't be a problem" before turning back to face Kat without even bothering to reply. 

There was an awkward silence that filled the area,"Blatant disrespect!!", Since when has a King Ranked mage been treated like this?. 

The lack of response simply depicted the mage as a clown, None the men dared to breathe!. 

It has to be Known that once one becomes King ranked, they are just a step below the saint realm which means they had already began to get a glimpse of divinity. Yet, He was openly humiliated like this, how could one take it?. 

Kat naturally saw all this while carefully observing Haru's face for a change but the latter simply had an apathetic look on it, completely devoid of any emotion. This made Kat's frown deepen,"What gives him that confidence, He's obviously only class 6 and nothing more...Honestly I thought he was much more powerful but I obviously Thought too much" 

While her mind wondered about the possible reason for "Pain's" Behavior, a figure walked out from the other side of the wall with a solemn expression. 

He had fiery red hair with thick red eyebrows, light red pupils. He clenched his fist in anger and conjured a fire ball and tossed it at Haru, Before gliding on flames which he released from his hands like a flame thrower. 

SWOOSH!!!! 

VOOOSH!!! his left palm spewed flames as he dashed menacingly at Haru while blocking his view with thick black smoke. 

'My sense is more acute than yours. how could such low level moves do anything to me ' Haru chuckled darkly as he carefully studied his attack pattern before performing spin with his foot while lifting off the ground by a few inches, completely dodging the attack with minimal movements. 

The red haired man's expression turned interesting when he noticed this, In a fit of rage he charged with more killing intent. 

But as things progressed, The Mage continued to toss fireballs that were the size of a fist while mixing his attacks with martial arts. In other words, he was like a close combat mage. 

PUM!! PUM!! 

Haru continued to retreat, dodging all the attacks by a hairs breath, his robe fluttered in the air forming a tune with the continuous explosions; the red haired mage also in black robes continued advancing, sending punches and kicks at Haru. 

The surrounding people were restless as well as they tried to avoid the stray fire balls, leading to a chaotic atmosphere. "An opening" The mage thought with exhilaration, sending out a palm at Haru while an attack left his palm like a flame thrower. But Despite this, Haru leisurely jumped backwards slightly while redirecting The Mage's palm upwards before countering by extending two fingers as though holding a sword towards the mages chest. 

Everything happened in a flash and it was obvious that the mage didn't have much experience in actual life and death combat. probably lucky all this time as he breezed his way through anything with his high cultivation 

[Thibault I'll help you!!] Kat yelled but was already attacking with a dagger throw which Haru dodged with a light jump backwards, as light a feather. 

Silence! 

The only sounds that could be heard was the fluttering of clothes in the wind. 

As though finding the scene amusing, Haru asked casually, [Not the reception I was expecting.] 

By this time, they were further away from the Farm house, Dark clouds blotted out the Moon, and the leaves Lightly floated around in the air, Creating a solemn scene. 

Both Kat and Thibault had frowns on their faces as none of them made a move forward. 

Despite the arrogance Thibault portrayed, he wasn't stupid, during the fight earlier he couldn't gain the upper hand even with his higher cultivation. 

Thibault was an honorary Guest with Invictus for years, and when he heard that he was to back Kat up in order for her to catch a "Devil", he was surprised and elated as he read an old scroll that talked about people who served Devils and Ancients Gods which was entirely different from what they knew in the Empire. His thirst for Knowledge brought him here tonight, only to be Disappointed with a 'Man' in Class 6 Rank. 

The first thing he felt was anger and disdain but now, the battle had changed his view on things and He felt like he would really die if not for Kat's intervention. 

'He's Strong' Thibault Thought and Kat realizes it too. the surrounding people had different thoughts… 

'Shit! why am I even here?!!' 

'I want to go home.' 

.... 

Haru could hear the surrounding conversations and decided to 'Impress' his audience further by releasing his Aura. 

CRACK!!! 

A pale blue Aura surrounded his Body, the ground below his feet had a huge circular dent beneath his feet as The wind picked up more force. 

WOOOOO!!! 

Pressure came down on every one, shocking both Kat and Thibaut as He was obviously class 6 but they also felt pressure even though it was little. 

'What is this?' Kat thought in disbelief. It is clear from her tone she did not expect to see such dense Aura. 

'Spectacular, this is something different from Mana or Qi that we know of...I want this Knowledge, now I'm curious' Thibault thought with starry eyes as he stared at Haru intently, examining the Aura to see if he could find any secrets from it. 

50 people trying to breathe was a spectacular scene.. 

+230 system points 

+112 system points 

+321 system points 

+212 system points 

+165 system points 

+142 system points 

[Come!] Haru said curtly, with his sharingan glowing eerily under the dark skies.
