It was the Sky Phoenix Queen, radiating an elegant yet fierce aura.
"Yes, Sky Phoenix Queen, we have no problem with you inspecting the boy on our behalf," Helios spoke, clearly captivated by her beauty, while the other two simply nodded in agreement.
"Go ahead, Freya. We trust you'll do a fine job," Elyon added.
The Sky Phoenix Queen, Freya, smiled and turned toward Leon and Aengus.
Leon glanced at Aengus for confirmation.
Understanding his intent, Aengus activated his Appraisal and All-Seeing Eyes to detect any ill intentions from her. As he did, Freya felt a strange sensation, as if she was being seeing through..
But she didn't have any proof.
She looked at the young man with intrigue.
"I have no problem with it. Sky Phoenix Queen can proceed while remaining impartial what she said," Aengus said reluctantly, not wanting to complicate matters further.
"Hehe, young man, you're certainly interesting. Don't worry, I have no intention of bullying a junior," Freya smiled beautifully.
Aengus raised an eyebrow but said nothing more, shifting his attention to General Leon to proceed.
With a sigh of resignation, General Leon stepped forward and placed his hand on Aengus. The moment he did, Aengus felt a slight discomfort as if someone else's prying eyes were invading his body. Only transcendentals or those with special abilities could manage such an intrusion.
As Leon quickly assessed Aengus's energy flow, he was struck speechless by the sheer potency of the energy coursing through him. Even Leon's own Mana potency might not be able to match it. He tried to dig deeper, but something blocked him from fully accessing the depths of Aengus's power.
Leon retracted his hand quickly, staring at Aengus in stunned silence. His ocean-blue eyes were filled with confusion. While he could accept that Aengus was from the High Human race, what he sensed was far beyond even the most elite of their kind. Aengus's muscles were dense, almost monstrous in nature, as if he were a beast hiding in human skin.
"What could have happened to make him this strong?" Leon thought.
"A Dragon bloodline?"
Helios scoffed, his pride getting the better of him.
The other Transcendentals raised their brows in curiosity, but with General Leon and Felix present, they dared not do anything excessive.
Leon and the others knew Aengus's situation was far from ordinary, which had raised their suspicions of him being associated with demons. However, they mentally marked him as a potential threat.
"A High Human with a Dragon bloodline."
After realizing how much potential Aengus possessed, it was only natural.
Aengus noticed the undisguised hostility from Helios and the caution from Elyon and Zillion, but he only scoffed internally. He knew it was only a matter of time before he surpassed all of them. Until then, he would just have to be a little cautious.
"So, I guess this answers your doubts, Elyon, Helios, and Zillion. Or are you going to act unreasonably now?" Aengus said, his tone was without an ounce of respect.
The S and SS Rank Transcendentals raised their eyebrows at the blatant disrespect, while the nearby hunters were petrified by the boldness of the High Human.
"I get that he's a High Human, but isn't this going too far, addressing the Transcendentals like that? Where does he get this confidence?" one hunter whispered.
"Nah, he's just bluffing because he's got the backing of the two Generals. Otherwise, he'd be long dead by now," another sneered.
Aurora and Melina stood among the onlookers. Melina looked saddened, while Aurora's gaze remained fixed on Aengus and Aria.
The Sky Phoenix Queen smiled, finding the boy's courage commendable, while Helios and the other two were visibly displeased.
Swoosh!
Suddenly Someone made a move..
