The Lord Is Too Overbearing

Chapter 172 Different Scenario (2)

Basil was fighting the Minotaur Warrior who had a giant hammer in its hands. He was running straight to it, fully aiming to cut its head off. Of course, the Minotaur Warrior didn't have any plan to stay idle, as it immediately swung its hammer at him.

BOOM!

He perfectly dodged the hammer, resulting in it hitting the ground instead. The Explosion wave of Demonic Mana swept through the surrounding area that had become the battle ground between the Minotaur Warriors and the duo battle maniacs—Basil and Iliana.

Whitney, Cray, and the Mercenaries, who were 20 meters away from Basil and Iliana, turned their head at the duo's direction in surprise. Not only them, the Demons and the Magical Beasts they were fighting did too.

Although they had heard a commotion coming from the duo's way a few moments prior, they didn't expect such an overwhelming amount of Mana would sweep the entire area in the next moment.

Upon turning their head at the duo's way, Whitney and Cray could see Basil was graciously swinging his sword at the Minotaur Warriors he was fighting. The two Demons were trying their best to hit him, but to no avail.

On the ground around him, there were countless of rubbles from the building in his surrounding that had been destroyed as the aftermath of his clash and the two Demons, and a deep crater from the previous attack of the gigantic hammer wielding Demon.

Four meters away from Basil and the two Demons he was fighting, Iliana was toying with the Minotaur Warrior she was fighting. She hadn't utilized any of her Magic Circles yet, but she was already able to exchange direct clashes with the Demon.

"What in the God's name is that?" One of the fighting mercenaries muttered in amazement and bewilderment.

"They must be one of the top 200 in Randalvine Magic Institute," another Mercenary muttered to himself. He had heard about Randalvine Magic Institute students' involvement in the Outbreak.

"To think two Magic Institute students can produce this result..."

Unlike the amazed group of Mercenaries, Whitney and Cray didn't show much reaction. To say they didn't expect it would be a lie, but to say they weren't surprised would be a bigger lie; they knew the duo would be able to achieve that feat, but they were still surprised.

Still though, three seconds was an enough time to admire the other side's battle; they still had their own battle, so they refocused their attention to it in the next moment.

Unaware of the attention they had attracted from the other fighting people, the duo battle maniacs kept fighting the Minotaur Warriors as if they were the only people in the world.

Iliana swung and thrust her spear at the Demon she was fighting in accordance to her Spear Style: [Whisper of Terror]. Her 2 meters long, Vanadium black spear danced in the air viciously; a grin was etched on her face—she was enjoying herself.

Ever since she touched the spear her father had given her—the same spear she was currently using—she had instantly fallen in love with it. Since the spear her father had given her originally had no name, she even named it herself; Sinister Piercer was its name.

She was a natural born Weapon Master; she could easily use any kind of weapon she wielded for the first time as if she had wielded it for years.

Whenever she wielded a spear however, no one could beat her without utilizing their superior Magic Circles; she was an insanely talented Spear Master. Therefore, she specialized herself in it.

"Ah, you are getting boring."

A minute into clashing with the Minotaur Warrior, Iliana could already read every one of its attack pattern. Since she found no more enjoyment from it, she was ready to end the battle.

Activating the Magic Circles Carved on her heart, three of them materialized themselves into the world. All of the three Grand Circles shone intensely, overwhelming the surrounding air with Mana.

Snort!

A steaming breath came out of the Minotaur Warrior's nostrils, as if it was ridiculing Iliana's attempt to attack him. Iliana merely smirked, and infused her Mana into Sinister Piercer. Channeling Mana to her feet, she propelled herself at the Demon.

Boom!

A small dent was created in the ground, due to the pressure Iliana's Reinforced feet had applied to it. While airborne, Iliana pointed the tip of her spear right at the Demon's heart; she was planning to end it in one go.

Of course, the Minotaur Warrior itself didn't stay idle. No matter how fast Iliana was traveling at it, it could still see Iliana clearly. Moving its hand in an unthinkable speed of a creature with such a big body, it was ready to cut Iliana in half with its sword.

In that exact moment however, Iliana smirked to herself, then activated the Rune carved on her spear's blade with the Mana she had infused in it before. The Rune lit up, allowing one's eyes to see the unique and profound symbols.

"[Acceleration]!"

Right when its sword was really close to Iliana, the Minotaur Warrior lost the sight of her; its sword hit the ground, making a long trench in it. It quickly looked around in alertness, but still didn't find the sight of Iliana.

When it was about to pull its sword out from the ground however, it noticed that there was something wrong with its chest. Upon looking at its chest, it could finally see there was a meter wide hole in it.

When it realized it was heavily injured, it turned its body around. There, it could see Iliana standing mightily on the ground while glaring at it in disdain; she had Sinister Piercer in her right hand, and it was stabbed in the Minotaur Warrior's heart.

"Do you know what is the other name of Sinister Piercer?" She smirked at the Demon. "Ghost Spear," she continued proudly.

Pulling out Sinister Piercer out of the Demon's heart, she aimed it at the Demon's head. Activating [Acceleration] Rune once again, she threw her spear at the Demon.

Stab!

It happened in an instant; one second, her spear was still in her hand, and in the next second, it was already piercing the Minotaur Warrior's head. All of this was the work of [Acceleration]: it amplified the speed of the throw by more than three times.

Thud!

When the Minotaur Warrior's lifeless body fell to the ground, Iliana quickly got on top of its head to retrieve her spear. Flicking it once, she removed the blood that was previously smeared on its blade.

Turning her head to Whitney and Cray's direction, she could see they were close to finish their battle. Whitney had already skewered 6 Magical Beasts with his earth spike, and Cray was stacking Demon and Beast's heads enthusiastically.

True to her expectation, they finished their battle not a moment later. Since they were done, Iliana turned her head to Basil who hadn't finished his battle yet.

She believed Basil had landed more than one hit at the Minotaur Warriors he was fighting, but they must have been too shallow to leave a scar behind.

Demons had an insane regeneration speed, so injuring them was quite hard as the injury quickly healed in the next moment. Therefore, Basil looked like he hadn't done anything to the Minotaur Warriors.

She was a little bit disappointed, but she knew not to expect much from a Third Circle Mage. Furthermore, Basil was fighting two of such a big creatures by himself.

Readying her spear once again, Iliana was about to help Basil when she witnessed a quite surprising scene for her, and a dumbfounding scene for the others.

Boom!

Basil had just casually slapped the gigantic sword of the Minotaur Warrior he was fighting to the side!

"For a Middle Class Demon, you have some power." He was clenching and unclenching his right hand to reduce the numbness.

"As I expected, I should've used Qi."

To even make it more dumbfounding, Basil didn't even use his Qi to slap the sword; his physical strength alone allowed him to achieve the feat. This is also the reason why Basil hadn't defeated the two Demons yet: he had been fighting with his physical strength.

Wielding his sword with his right hand again, he brandished it at the stunned Minotaur Warrior's sword that was stuck in the ground.

Clank!

Much to the eyewitnesses' bewilderment, the Minotaur Warrior's sword was cut in two upon contact with Basil's sword. "What is the point of equipping these mindless creatures with an easily destructible Titanium sword?" Basil snorted coldly.

Channeling his Qi to his foot, he kicked the ground to send himself to the Minotaur Warrior's head. Upon realizing it, the Demon in question swung its half-destroyed sword at Basil.

Basil gave a circle kick to the sword while in the air, successfully shattering it, and once again bewildering the eyewitnesses. When he was close to splitting the Minotaur Warrior's in two with his sword, he noticed the other one was swinging its hammer at him.

Using Wind Magic to move his body away from the gigantic hammer's trajectory, the hammer hit the head of the Minotaur Warrior he had been about to kill instead.

Boom!

Splash!

Since Basil had protected himself with Qi Barrier firsthand, he wasn't hit by any of the brain matters that were coming from the crushed head of the unfortunate Demon.

Even knowing that it had just killed its brethren, the hammer wielding Minotaur Warrior's focus was still on Basil.

Basil, who was still in the air, swiftly sent himself to the ground with Wind Magic, and took a stance. He held his sword sideways, and leaned his body slightly forward. Planting his eyes on the incoming Demon, he muttered, "[Hill Splitter]!"

When the Minotaur Warrior swung its hammer at him, Basil graciously swung his sword at it.

Schwing!

A brief light flashed before everyone's eyes, and by the time they knew it, the Minotaur Warrior was already bisected horizontally.

Thud!

When the upper body of the Demon fell to the ground, Basil righted himself, and sheathed his sword. "Unsatisfactory," he muttered casually as if nothing had just happened.

At that, not only Whitney, Cray, and the Mercenaries, even Iliana was having her rare moment of speechlessness.
