Chapter 283: 283 Seeing Bryan appearing in front of me, I wanted to laugh out loud .
It was very easy, though . I just put a few suggestions on some people .
The first one was in the two thirteenth-layer practitioners, making one of them carry Bryan while the other carried Alan and Christine .
The second suggestion made the thirteenth-layer practitioners think of separating when the dragon turned berserk .
And the third suggestion made the powerhouse carrying Bryan to run in my direction .
After that, I just made Bryan believe that he had seen Iris, and that foolish brother of mine bit the bait without thinking twice .
When Bryan saw us, his face turned red . His eyes shone with a vicious glow, and his body trembled from the rage .
But to me surprise, before he could say something, someone else acted first .
The thirteenth-layer practitioner carrying Bryan jumped back .
Then, he… ran away?
I was briefly stunned . But an instant later, I chuckled in amusement . This man sure has good instincts .
Unfortunately, it is useless .
Beside me, Iris was also surprised .
"H-He ran away…? C-Claus, we need to run away! H-He is very strong . "
I looked at the nervous girl with a smile . "C-Calm down, I told you I have everything under control . Rather, Are you sure you will do it?"
"I-I am . "
"Then get ready . They are coming back soon . "
Before Iris could understand the meaning of my words, a voice came from the forest .
"Idiot! Why are you running!? I order you to return! We need to kill that bastard! And that slut too! I'm going to skin her alive!"
One second later, the thirteenth-layer powerhouse carrying Bryan appeared once more in front of us .
Instantly, his expression changed .
Before he could run away again, though, I stopped him .
"Just stop, it's useless . "
"… Prince Claus…" The man carrying Bryan put on a stern look . Although he was not sure about what was happening, his expression showed he was prepared to face great danger .
"You look nervous . " I chuckled, more interested in the man than in Bryan himself . This man ran away just after seeing me, even although I had not shown my power yet .
The man took out his weapon and got ready to fight . "When I saw you just now, prince, my instincts screamed that I was going to die if I continued here . These instincts have saved my life several times before, so I usually trust them . "
"Oh, so you are of that kind," I said with an interested expression . "Unfortunately, now that you are here I can't leave you to escape . "
"Hey, what are you talking about!?" Bryan screamed in rage . "You! Catch them! What are you waiting for!"
I looked at Bryan as though looking to a clown . It looks like this fool has not understood the situation yet .
Should I show it to him then?
"Shut up . "
As though my words were an order, Bryan's mouth was slammed shut . Then, his expression turned pale, and his body shivered .
He tried to speak again, but his mouth refused to move no matter how much he tried . It was as though it had been glued by an otherworldly force .
I did not bother anymore with him . Instead, I looked at the powerhouse beside him with a look of interest .
Let's play for a little bit, shall we?
"What is your name?" I asked the man .
"… Kevin . " The man answered after a bit of hesitation .
"Kevin, huh . Then, Kevin, let's see if your instincts can save you again . " I said and unsheathed my sword . "You are at the thirteenth-layer of cultivation, just like me . So we will do it like this . If you manage to receive three of my attacks, I'll allow you to take Bryan with you and leave . "
Contrary to my expectations, though, Kevin's expression did not relax . Instead, it turned even uglier .
It looks like his instincts are much sharper than I thought .
Mmm, let's play a bit more then .
"It looks like you still don't think it's fair, huh . What about this then? I will only use a hand . Besides, I will not use any law or special technique in my attacks . My attacks will rely only on my mana, swordsmanship, and physical strength . I think that is fair enough, don't you agree?"
Kevin looked at me and took a deep breath . Then, he put his sword in front of him .
"Show me your strength, Prince Claus . "
"Great," I said with a brilliant smile . "Here I go then . This is my first attack . "
As soon as my words sounded, my body moved .
In an instant, it closed the distance between Kevin and I . At the same time, My sword was filled with mana . The tip of the sword pierced towards Kevin's heart faster than the speed of sound .
*Clang!*
That was our first clash .
Kevin's eyes opened wide . He involuntarily took two steps back, and his wrists groaned under the pressure of my sword .
Just with the first attack, Kevin knew how difficult surviving three of my attacks was .
I did not give him time to rest, though . Almost as though the strength behind the last attack was a lie, my sword turned soft . It then slithered around Kevin's sword before biting towards his neck .
The attack was so bizarre, fast, and sudden, that Kevin was almost unable to react!
In the last second, though–
"HAAAAA!!!"
With a vigorous shout, Kevin released all the mana inside his body in a go . The mana then turned into a wave that managed to slow my sword long enough for him to move his head away .
But unfortunately for him, that was just the second attack .
I stared a Kevin with a playful smile, then, I shook my wrist .
Instantly, the speed of my sword became several times higher!
Since the start, this fight was nothing more than a game . With the pureness of my mana, competing with someone in the same layer is the same as bullying them .
In fact, even weaker gods are unable to compete against me in terms of mana . Thus, even if I stopped myself from using any technique or law, just the raw strength behind my physical body and mana is more than enough to overwhelm any thirteenth-layer practitioner .
Even if Kevin was insanely talented and managed to show a strength several times higher than his cultivation, the result would have been the same .
It was just a game for me . Just like a cat playing with a mouse . In the end, Bryan and Kevin were destined to be unable to escape from me .
Kevin realized that when he saw my last attack .
It was just a trust . A simple thrust with nothing complicated on it . But it was a thrust that Kevin was unable to avoid .
Under his disbelieving gaze, my sword penetrated his neck . Then, his head flew through the air .
"Third move . "
I smiled indifferently and put my sword back in his sheath . Then, I turned towards my useless brother .
Watching the expression of fear on his face, my smile turned wider .
"Now, it's time for us to speak, brother . "
I'm going to enjoy this .
