Chapter 109 Took you long enough

Leo was finally able to spot some of the knights that Valdel was talking about. As expected of knights their equipment was leagues above any normal person could afford. Which is why the lesser equipped mercenaries were eye catching when standing beside the knights.

After he confirmed that they were the people Valdel was talking about, Leo made his presence known to the knights and mercenaries by spreading out his mana. The knights who were searching for Valdel stopped in their tracks and looked at the newcomer who was spreading was spreading his mana so aggressively. The moment they felt that mana, the knights knew that the person in front of them was extremely dangerous, so all of them went into a defensive formation.

"Hey, I heard you guys been messing around with my friend." When the knights and mercenaries heard the newcomer's statement, they immediately figured out who he was. Upon learning of Ren's identity one of the knights immediately started running as he was about to send a message to their lord Henrick.

The remaining knights stood firmly in their defensive formation, while the mercenaries were thinking of watching at the sidelines before deciding what to do next. The information given about Ren was limited, and they couldn't gauge just how strong he was. Engaging an opponent without knowing much about him, wasn't something a mercenary does.

"Oh, I see there's no need to talk, well I don't really like talking as well. I'm more of a man of action." The moment Leo said the last word he disappeared from the Knights' line of sight. The mercenaries who were watching at the side could all see what had happened and were surprised.

Leo who was a few meters away suddenly disappeared from his spot and reappeared in front of the knights. When the knights saw how close Leo was to them, they made a shield wall. Leo who saw how frightened the knights were of him, sighed.

'These are the weaklings that challenge my current incarnation? This is rather disappointing.' Leo casually swung one of his swords at the shield wall. The mercenaries who were watching at the side found Leo's movements rather weird, all of them had the same thought which was, what was he doing? Why did he just swing his sword at empty air, was this action suppose to threaten the knights?

As the mercenaries were wondering what was happening, something that stunned them all happened next. After Leo casually swung his blade, a few seconds passed and then all the shields the knights that made the shield wall were sliced in half.

Everyone who saw this scene had their eyes left wide open. They couldn't believe what they just witnessed. A man who casually swung his sword with no signs of mana fluctuations was able to slice over a dozen shields with a single slash.

The knights were able to regain their senses quickly and were about to retreat, but then Leo casually waved the other sword in his right hand. The knights could no longer feel their lower halves, so most of them unconsciously looked down at their feet, it was then they saw that the upper halves of their bodies were slowly sliding away from their lower halves.

Leo was able to kill dozens of knights with two sword swings. The mercenaries who were watching the whole event stood in their positions frozen in horror. The person called Ren didn't even need to use mana to annihilate dozen of knights, and he did it so casually and cleanly, like it meant nothing to him.

They remaining people that were alive wanted to do a tactical retreat, but their legs wouldn't respond as they all felt week in the knees. They couldn't understand it, even though the man in front of them was emitting an enormous pressure upon them, it wasn't enough to render them like this.

Leo who had just finished dealing with the knights present shifted his attention to the mercenaries. The moment the mercenaries were stared down by Leo who was grinning widely they shivered in fear.

"How about you guys, you don't look like knights... I see you're mercenaries. That means your being paid to kill my friend." When Leo was about to attack, one of the mercenaries spoke.

"We weren't going to kill him! We were just hired to find some student from the knight academy who mess with a random noble. We never planned to kill him, we were simply fooled by our employer. We never knew that person was such a big deal. So please we'll back out and we'll never mess with your business ever again, so please don't kill us."

"That's funny, so you weren't going to kill him, you were just planning to hand him over to some noble that hates him. I'm sure people from your line of work aren't that naive. You knew full well what you were doing and accepted the job. So I hope you guys don't expect any mercy. You guys really are a different kind of mercenary from my friend. I used to have a friend who was like you guys, he was a mercenary and he once told me that a good merc gives as much as he's paid. I'm sure you guys have been paid well enough to risk death. So at least show me the pride of a mercenary"

When the mercenaries heard what Leo said and saw the vicious smile on his face, they knew that death was about to come. So in a desperate attempt for survival the mercenaries tried attacking Leo, but then they saw a flash of light which then turned into darkness. Leo was able to kill all the mercenaries with on swing of his blade.

The whole area was now littered with dead bodies, while blood fell down like rain. Leo who just finished off his opponents, felt his right hand becoming a bit numb.

'Sh*t just how weak is this body?!... Well whatever, as long as the opponents are of this level, just a little bit won't really hurt this body. Still I better use a weaker skill just in case.'

After assessing his current condition Leo sat on a nearby rock waiting for whoever was in charge of these people to come.

...

Henrick who was waiting for a report to come regarding Valdel, instead heard a report regarding Ren. The friend of Valdel that Sepchel warned them about finally appeared.

'That arrogant prick Sepchel must have been exaggerating about that Ren guy. He must be planning something, so after I deal with Ren, I'll expose Sepchel of his lies.'

While Henrick was imagining the first prince praising him, he smelled a very familiar smell. 'This is the smell of blood, did they actually killed Ren?' Henrick who truly didn't believe that Ren was strong, thought his subordinates already dealt with him, so he was shocked to see the scene before him.

A pile of corpses littered around, as the ground was splattered with blood stains, and in the middle of all this mess, was a boy who was taking a nap. The moment Henrick got closer the boy yawned as he stretched his body looking at the new arrival.

"Took you long enough, so are you the leader of these losers?" The lazy looking boy who was yawning moments ago, was now looking at Henrick with a vicious smile on his face.
