Chapter 74 - Who Did This? (3)

After the Asil's words, the young man's body trembled and peed in his pants out of fear, and he ordered the other men: "Worthless scumbags...What do you think you're doing when my life is at stake? Let her go and do as he says. Or my grandfather will make you regret being born."

The young man who peed his pants was called Leor. He was the grandson of a man named Leodex, to whom the person sent by Kastor in the morning and told about the location of Asil and Medivh. Besides, he was the only grandson of Leodex. That's why he was pampered and raised, and he started his combat training at a very late age. The only reason Leodex sent him on this mission was that he wanted him to gain experience. He looked at this mission as if it was a very simple thing, and he never thought it would be dangerous for his grandson Leor, as he thought it would be quite easy to kill Medivh and Asil.

The other seven men, on the other hand, were the ones tasked with protecting him and killing Asil and Medivh. Although one of their targets was on sight, they could not do anything because their leader's grandson was taken as a hostage. Although they had bluffed at first, they would not have re-dared to act so aggressively in a situation where Leor was held hostage after Asil's reaction.

After a brief silence, one of the men turned to the blonde girl and spoke: "Bitch, you heard our young master. You got away with it this time. Now piss off."

After the man's words, the young girl looked grateful towards the Asil and then, though she didn't want to, turned back and started walking away. When she first saw Asil, she did not understand what he was trying to do. Since she was at a higher level than Asil, she instantly realized Asil's power level. He was only in the fourth level of the elementary profound realm yet still come to rescue her anyway. There was no hesitation in his actions. Naturally, there was admiration in her heart for him for doing such a thing.

As the blonde girl walked along with a sense of gratitude in her heart, her body, already exhausted by the relief granted by Asil , could not carry itself any further, and slowly, diagonally, she fell to the ground. When she fell to the ground, everyone looked towards her. Then one of the men turned to Asil and said: "Brat, we let her go but apparently this slut is in no condition to walk on her own. What happens now? Are we going to carry her? That's fine with me. I would love to carry her, hahahaha."

After the man spoke, he turned to the young girl again and took a step towards her. But at that moment Asil spoke again, and his voice made the man stop: "Cut it. Change of plans. The girl, me, and your young master will go away to a safe distance. Then I will free your young master. And you will stay here and not move during this time. If I feel you move, I'll kill him without a thought."

Immediately after Asil's speech, one of the men objected: "Brat, do you think you're smart? Why should we trust you? How do we know you won't kill off our young master while we're standing here? Do you still think that we will just stand there?

Asil replied fearlessly: "Do I still think? There's one thing you're wrong. I don't care what you think or whether you trust me. There are two options for you. Either you do as I say and follow the option that your young master may live. Or I'll kill your young master. So I'm not offering you anything. I command you!!"

After Asil's fearless response, the men's facial expressions changed and two of them nervously spat on the ground. With no response from them, Asil kept watchfully and proceeded to take Leor hostage while slowly moving towards the young girl. Until then, everything was going according to Asil's plan. But something unexpected occurred when Asil came within a few meters of the girl.

Footsteps heard to be approaching from far away  When these voices came, Asil looked there in case that I could be a new enemy. But as he looked there, he naturally became distracted. The seven men were experienced. So naturally, they immediately noticed this distraction and made a quick move. Before Asil could even get back to them, someone grabbed his right wrist and threw him in the direction of the young girl. Asil moved a few meters in the air and fell half a meter to the young girl's side. There was intense pain in his body when he fell. Although the attacker did not use any weapons, he was thrown by a person in the midst of the Nascent Profound Realm. Although this attack did not cause any injuries due to the armor he was wearing, it still could not prevent him from suffering.

As Asil fell to the ground, one of the men looked towards him and spoke, laughing relentlessly: "Son of a bitch, who's going to take you away from me now? Bossing us around huh? See how a showman ends up!!"

After the man spoke, he took a few steps and proceeded to Asil. As he came towards him, Asil looked towards the young girl and spoke briefly, with the anguish in his heart that his plan had failed: "I'm sorry. I couldn't save you."

He didn't give a long speech. It was not necessary. No matter what he said right now, it wasn't going to work. After speaking, he turned his head and looked again at the men and the direction behind which the footsteps gradually approaching.

He had only hope now. The hope was that the advice given by his master would work before he took action. Before Asil told Sirius of his first plan and acted, Sirius had told him to break the orb that Medivh had given him before he left, and then to act. Asil didn't understand why, but he trusted his master and did what he said. So there was a possibility that the owner of these footsteps might be Medivh.

The footsteps approached quickly and as the man who was advancing towards Asil was a few meters away from him, the owner of the footsteps appeared and entered the area. When he appeared, all the men, including those who were advancing towards Asil, turned towards him, and then one of them suddenly spoke with a laugh: "HAHAHAHA... I didn't think we were so lucky. We didn't have to look for the red-haired bastard. He came to daddy on his own. Hahahahaha..."

Medivh did not respond to their conversation after entering the area and stood where he was as soon as he walked in. When he didn't move at all for a few seconds, another of the men spoke with a laugh: "HAHAHAHA...What a coward bastard. He just froze. I love these kids so much. They beg very nicely before they die, hahahaha..."

After the man's speech, Medivh again did not respond and did not make any moves. He just kept looking in the same direction. After looking for a few seconds, his facial expression became more serious than Asil had ever seen before. He proceeded without saying anything and began to approach where Asil was.

As he advanced, the men laughed and let Medivh go where Asil was. To them, even if Medivh went there, nothing would have changed. Medivh soon arrived where Asil was. But strangely, the place he looked at wasn't exactly where Asil was. Where he looked was where the young girl was. As he moved forward, the young girl looked towards Medivh, and the moment she looked at him, her eyes were damp and her sight blurred.

Medivh said only one word in a tone that contained no emotion after he came to the young girl with a serious expression. "Who?!"

He did not use a loud tone when he asked "who" but Asil, who was close to him, heard this one word and his soul trembled.

After his brief speech, the young girl looked at him and spoke wearily: "Young Master, please calm down. I am okay. Please calm down. If..."

Before the young girl could finish her speech, Medivh interrupted her speech and spoke again: "who did this to you? Lisa. Answer me! Who did this to you. Which one?"

This blonde young girl was actually a girl named Lisa, who was one of two people around Medivh and listening to his orders. She had not stayed near the inn this morning because of Medivh's order not to be near me and had later learned that he had left the inn in the morning. After she found out, she left without even informing Emma, who was more experienced and powerful than she was, and started to look for places where Medivh might be. After looking at a few places, she found out that today's escorting job and many people had applied for it. After learning this, she did some research and finally found out where Medivh was going. Although she hardly rested until she found him, after learning of Medivh's location, she headed straight to the Black Dragon Mountain Range without even thinking of taking a little rest, and without hesitation, she searched for him. Finally, she encountered this group when she was in a tired state. And as a result of that, she was in this situation right now.

Medivh's speech was as emotionless as it was before. After his speech, the young girl opened her mouth to speak again but she couldn't say anything and bowed her head.

After she bowed his head, Medivh turned towards the Asil and spoke in his still emotionless voice: "Take her with you and get away from here. I will handle the rest."

After speaking, Medivh turned around and approached the group of eight with extremely slow steps, without waiting for Asil's answer. Of those he approached, one of them was in the elementary, the others were in the Nascent Profound Realm. But Medivh walked as if he didn't care at all, and with every step he took, the aura of desire to kill emanated from his body became even more terrifying.

As he began to move forward, Asil clenched his teeth, grabbed and lifted the blonde girl, and walked away carefully.

As the young girl was suddenly lifted up, her eyes grew and she tried to break free from Asil's embrace. But she failed to do so because she was so tired that she could barely move her body.

Asil spoke discontentedly with his master Sirius in his mind as he proceeded with the girl he carried in his arms: "Master, was the reason you told me to call big brother Medivh here because he was bait? Although he is in the Nascent Profound Realm like these guys, he is only in the second level of the Nascent Profound Realm. There's no way he's going against them. How can I live with the regret in my heart after his sacrifice? Master, can't I do anything to save him? The thought of running away by baiting my loved ones is a terrible thing."

After Asil's words, Sirius replied strangely quickly: "Bait? Child, do you really underestimate this red-headed brat? I meant it when I said he was a real genius compared to you. Remember when I told you that when the battle started today, the second strongest person there was the girl in black? Did you think I was the strongest person when I said that?"

After Sirius's awkward speech, Asil responded instantly: "Master, of course, I thought of you. Who else could I think of? That girl in black was in the fifth level of the Core Profound Realm. You were the only one I saw as stronger than her."

After Asil's reply, Sirius laughed and then explained the truth: "Hahahaha... Child, when I compare the powers of people in a place like this, it would be an insult to myself to include myself in that comparison. Are you really putting me on the same page as the people here? That girl in Black was the second most powerful person there was when she was in the fifth level of Core Profound Realm. Because there was someone stronger than the girl in black. That was the redhead you call Big Brother Medivh. Just walk away and watch what happens.. It's going to be a fun fight."
