The Lord Is Too Overbearing

***

Basil gazed at the unfolding scene with his cold deep eyes. He had run for eight hours non-stop to get here. His muscle was strained. However, the unfolding scene he was witnessing completely diminished the pain he felt from his muscle.

Irene was sprawled on the ground with scorched abdomen, while coughing blood from time to time. Her eyebrows were frowned due to the immeasurable pain. A few meters away from Irene, Shirley was sprawled on the table which Nicholas used to support executing his sickening deed.

Basil had seen the sickening debauchery happening in the background the moment he had entered the room. He didn't care about that. What he cared about was the things happening to the two people he cared.

Flash!

His Spatial Bracelet lit up, before Kusanagi appeared in his hand. Nicholas, and the six hooded figures, who had stopped doing their 'activity' ever since Basil's entrance, tensed.

"The air is disgusting."

He swung Kusanagi.

Whoosh!

The people were instantly alerted, and they dodged frantically.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Countless of slashing marks decorated the wall, and floor alike. No one was injured. However, none of them dare to play around any longer. Their attention was focused on Basil.

"Y-you are... Basil!"

Basil leered at Daniel, who was still shaking his hip enthusiastically before Catherine's crotch, disinterestedly. He didn't bother with the fact the little bastard was there. He merely ignored him.

"Just do what you do, lowlife." Basil said, before approaching Irene. "Are you still breathing?" He calmly asked with a smile. Irene mustered her power, and answered, "Yes, I do, Young Master."

Taking out a pill of Crystal Clear, he crushed it to powder, before feeding it to the haggardly breathing Irene. "I hope you can hold on for five minutes. I will take you out by then. I promise."

Irene could only smile tiredly, before closing her eyes. She was relieved her Young Master had come. Everything would surely be alright.

Basil looked at the sleeping Irene briefly, before moving his feet to the traumatized Shirley.

"Brother... Am I hallucinating?" She sobbed, she couldn't handle it anymore. The thing happening to her was too shocking. "Brother, help me. Father is not being himself!" She was crying profusely.

Basil didn't say a word. He merely took her in his hand, surprising her in the process, and hugged her tightly.

"B-B-Brother? Y-you are real? You are real!" She hugged Basil tightly in delight and disbelief. She didn't want to let him go. She was afraid Basil would be gone, if she were to do so. "Shush... Everything is going to be alright. Be a good girl, and wipe your tears."

Shirley was choked by her own tears. She couldn't muster anything to stay. She merely hugged Basil, while crying her heart out. Basil was the perfect person for her mind to lean on, after the stressful thing she had just experienced.

Basil moved his feet back at Irene, while carrying Shirley in his embrace. No one dare to stand in his way. The pressure he inflicted upon them was enough to shy their courage away.

"Wait here until I settle everything." Basil put Shirley down, and she reluctantly let him go. "Here is my Transmission Talisman. I need you to notify the Alchemy Store's staff to come here with medicine. Can you do that?"

Basil looked at the puffy red eyed Shirley seriously. The latter nodded, and Basil smiled. "Good. Now, watch Irene for me, and don't look at what I am about to do." Again, Shirley merely nodded her head.

Turning his back on her, Basil faced the people. Instantly, a full blast of bloodlust that had been trained for years, assaulted them.

!!!

They recoiled in shock and terror. None of them had expected such a terrifying killing intent could come from someone as young as Basil. Surely, the couldn't know who Basil truly was.

He had looked down on the most powerful Obelisk Masters, he had slain dragons which many people thought had extinct, and foremost, he had been the strongest Mage alive in his past life.

How could they compare themselves to him?

Woong.

Kusanagi sang when Basil lightly swung it in the air. Looking at the anxious people in front of him disinterestedly, he declared the start of the massacre.

"Pray, if you believe in God."

Then, he dashed forward.

[Slip]!

Flash!

His body shot forward like a trail of light. Nicholas moved out of the way, and let the one behind him took the assault.

Clank!

Sword met dagger. One of the Assassins Nicholas had hired managed to fend Basil's attack. However, it was apparent he couldn't hold much longer. His hands were already trembling from the immense force.

"Assasination Technique: [Decap—"

Break!

The Assassin was shocked to the core. His dagger was cut in two by Basil. He couldn't even utilize his Technique properly. He could see it. He could see Kusanagi approaching his head. He could see it slowly due to his impending doom.

Slash!

Just like the Assassin had expected. His head was cut horizontally in two. Blood splashed, however none of it stained Basil's white suit. Flicking Kusanagi to the side, the blood on it was removed to the floor.

"A mere pup, who couldn't even utilize his Technique properly, dare to stand against me? Laughable!"

It was said casually. Even the amusement in his tone was faint. However, in the other people's ears, it sounded like a death sentence. They tensed their body, and decided to attack Basil all at once.

"Assassination Technique: [Decapitation]!"

The remaining five Assassins charged at Basil, and utilized the same Technique from five different angles. Basil held Kusanagi in vice grip, and struck the floor with it.

Nothing happened for a moment. However, it changed when the Assassins' blades were close to hit his neck.

Wind gathered around him instantly out of nowhere, changing the trajectory of the blades, before attacking the assailants.

Slash!

"Gah!"

"Kuuhh!"

"Ahh!"

Three people were cut deeply, and couldn't bear the pain. Luckily, they still managed to pull back. Therefore, none of them died. Still, they were bewildered. They were an Aura user, a Yellow Core Knight! How could a simple attack from a Mage pierced their skin?!

"You don't have to look at me like that," Basil remarked. Picking up Kusanagi, he said toward the Assassins, "I am a Knight too." Kusanagi shone in bright yellow light, and weapons floated around Basil. He had activated his Aura.

The Assassins were quickly awaken from their bewilderment, and they too activated their Aura. 1 of them had [Spiritual Armor], 2 had [Agile Feet], 1 had [Trembling Blade], while the last person had [Shadow Resident].

Aside from the first person, all of them had the Aura Ability fitting for an Assassin. Basil harrumphed coldly, before sending every weapons floating behind him at them.

Woong! Woong! Woong!

The blades Basil threw at them resonated each time it parted the air. The Assassins surrounding him readied their weapons and fended every blades sent at them.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Their hands trembled. They hadn't expected the blades contained such a power! Gritting their teeth, two Assassins who had [Agile Feet] dashed toward Basil in a flash. Just like the name of their Aura Ability, their feet were fast.

Clank!

Sadly, that was it. They were merely fast. Their power wasn't so much. Basil who had fended their attacks at once, exploded the Qi he had infused Kusanagi at them.

Boom!

They were thrown away, and Basil didn't have any intention to let them go.

[Slip]!

[Feather Step]!

A Movement Technique and a Step Art were utilized at once, and Basil reappeared in front of the two people, who he had sent to the same direction.

[Decapitation]!

A Technique that was very familiar to the Assassins was activated. Kusanagi moved in a flash, and both of the people's head was decapitated cleanly. Still, Basil didn't have any intention to celebrate that.

He utilized his Movement Technique once again, and dashed at one of the three remaining Assassins.

Clank!

The blade belonging to the Assassin who fended his attack was vibrating. It wasn't because the attack it fended, but the Aura Ability of its wielder.

[Trembling Blade] was an Aura Ability that relied on outrageously fast vibration of the user's blade to destroy everything.

It was normally a cheat-like Aura Ability, and highly sought amongst Knight. Sadly, at this moment, it was rendered useless due to Kusanagi's absolutely higher quality metal.

The Assassin was so bewildered he didn't know how to react. Thus, his head flew to the air.

Whoosh!

Basil sent one of the floating swords, that kept the other Assassins busy, behind him. It stuck on the floor, right at his shadow. Surprisingly, his shadow trembled, before a part of it separated itself, and a man emerged from it.

"[Shadow Resident], huh? Too bad you are untrained."

Basil sneered coldly, before pointing his finger upward.

"[Eyes Of Truth]!"

A Spell was muttered softly, and a ball of light with the size of an eyeball emerged out of Basil's tip of finger. It went to the ceiling, settling there, before shining intensely. Right before the blinding light exploded, the Assassin with [Shadow Resident] gasped in shock.

"A Light Spell! Impossible!"

The room was engulfed in white light, and no one aside from Basil could see the thing happening.

Snap!

Basil snapped his finger, and all of the floating swords his [Master Of Weapons] was controlling were sent at the two Assassins.

Stab! Stab! Stab!

A muffled groan was heard, and it belonged to the two Assassins. When the light died down, Basil could see the two Assassins were pierced by the swords he had sent.

Thud!

One of the Assassins, the one with [Shadow Resident] fell to the ground lifelessly. Three swords pierced his chest, and one of them successfully pierced through his heart.

The last Assassin, despite having seven swords piercing his body, was still alive. His [Spiritual Armor] did a great job to protect him. His hood was down, and his face was revealed. Basil didn't know who he was, however he was quite young.

The Assassin glared at Basil spitefully, and Basil took that nonchalantly. Moving his feet toward the last Assassin, he eliminated the distance between them.

Basil stared at the Assassin's eyes deeply, and said casually, "Say hello to your friends." Kusanagi lit up, and the Assassin was shredded to pieces.

Nicholas looked at the dumbfounding scene dumbly. The intense fight between the seven people had been too intense he didn't dare to interrupt. Receiving Basil's gaze, he gulped in horror.

"What a monster."

Indeed, Basil was a monster. He had run even faster than a Hexapod Horse, for eight hours non-stop, but he still managed to display such prowess. His stamina, and reserve were simply absurd.

"How do you choose your end, Nicholas?"

"Hahaha! How about not ending it?"

Basil stared at Nicholas with unamused eyes. He perfectly disregarded Daniel who was cooping himself in the corner in fright, leaving Catherine, who was covered in cum, sprawled on the ground.

Ding!

Basil tapped on Kusanagi, and wind covered it instantly.

Screech!

The sound of wind blades clashing against each other was very unpleasant to the ears. However, none of the two people cared. Nicholas smirked, before chanting a Spell.

"Annihilation Art: [Fire Incarnation]!"

A Spell was uttered, and his body was entirely covered in fire. To use it, a certain mastery over Fire Element was required. Surely, Nicholas, who was considered as a veteran, had the required mastery, despite how little the amount of Magic Circles he had.

"Now, let's up the game!"

A distorted voice was heard out of Nicholas. Even though his face was covered in fire, Basil could still see his smirk.

Snap!

Nicholas snapped his finger, and the barrier he had set to separate half of the room was activated once again. This time, Shirley, who was sneakily watching them from behind, lost the sight of them.

"Out of the things you have done, you only did one thing right." Basil pointed Kusanagi at Nicholas, before continuing, "You did me a favor by hiding your death scene." Then, Basil charged forward.
