Chapter 166 The End of The Invasion

Bang

Roy's body crashed into the ground, where it was littered with blood. Just as Roy's body slammed into the ground, he quickly stood up, not caring about his broken nose.

Gale put a smile on his face, seeing Roy acting like a real mindless beast. 'I thought killing Nimona might break the hypnotizing spell, but it seems like that is not the case.'

Then Gale swiped his right hand up before Roy could make a move.

" [ Killing God's Spikes ] " Sharp spikes burst out of the blood pool below Roy, impaling him in the air.

"Ack!" Despite losing his sanity, Roy could feel the pain of getting pierced all over his body.

At that moment, Gale had arrived before Roy. He raised his head up and looked at Roy's face, which was contorting into anger and pain.

"I want to sever your head so bad, but I fear you will still be alive." The blood spike retracted into the blood pool below, letting Roy fall down.

Gale grabbed Roy's head by the face and hung him high. "I also want to crush you, but I fear you won't die."

"Gragh!" Roy tossed his hands and legs in the air, trying to break free from Gale's clutches. He squeezed Gale's arm but failed miserably, as his body was the strongest object ever present in this place.

So, Roy tried to use his ability to shove Gale away. In their surroundings, vines and tree roots were about to spring open but got cut off by the blade made of blood that was also conjured right now.

Gale said to Roy, nonchalantly but with a grin on his face. "Do you know that even if we cut trees in half, they will grow back? It is because of the nutrients in the fertile soil. So, to completely destroy them, we have to burn them down."

Zitraa!

A blaze burst out of Gale's hand, completely engulfing Roy. noVE-lb/In

"ARGHH!" Roy screamed out loud, which got muffled because of Gale's hand. The heat generated by the fire made the blood in the surrounding area boil, with steam coming out and bubbles forming here and there.

Slowly yet surely, Roy was burned to a crisp; nothing remained of his previous self.

Thud

Gale let go of Roy's body, which fell to the ground. The gentle breeze in the air blew out ashes from Roy's body, slowly making his body disappear.

[ Congratulations. Host! You have killed a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator ]

[ You have received 2 points ]

"Phew~" Gale let out a sigh of relief, seeing the madness finally ending. "Now, let's see what they did on that side."

Gale turned around and dashed toward where everyone was.

In a matter of seconds, he arrived at the spot.

Upon his arrival, everyone shifted their focus from Brustiar to him. They wanted to know who this young boy was. For someone to take down a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator despite being in the Golden Core Realm indicated his talent and potential.

When they saw him carefully, examining him, they were still surprised, having a hard time believing Gale was from the Burnheart Family. They were jealous and also a little afraid of their future.

Fiona, Kaley, and Jasmine walked before Gale and asked various questions with concern.

"Are you okay? I saw you got badly injured earlier."

"What took you so long? What if you were a bit slow and we were already dead."

"Don't say something like that, Kaley. We should be glad we are all okay."

Seeing the girls being concerned about him made him very happy in his heart. He didn't think he would have such a family in this new world. He was also a bit embarrassed, as everyone was looking at them.

Gale was very shy about this type of situation. It did happen frequently in his previous life because of his father, mother, and sister, but in this new world, this happened for the first time.

He might have changed drastically from his past self, but there was something still inside him that he would only get used to as time passed.

Still, Gale hid his shyness away and spoke calmly, but with a smirk on his face. "Yes, just as Jasmine said, we shouldn't be worried about such things anymore, just be glad that we are all okay. Also, did you really doubt that I would mess up?"

"Hmph, What if you did? If you really did it, I wouldn't ever forgive you." Kaley pouted her face, turning her head to the side.

"Haha," Gale didn't say much, as he was used to Kaley's tantrums.

Gale then glanced at Julie, who was looking down at the ground, being shy to even look at him.

Gale could guess why she didn't come to him, despite having the biggest urges like the other girls to ask him. 'She is embarrassed to make our relationship public. She is just like a middle schooler, and I can't blame her for being like that. I guess I will take it and not force it. It might go against her nature.'

Gale also decided not to make their relationship public, he would only do it when he got her consent.

Then Gale and the girls talked to themselves a little.

"Hello, young man." At that moment, someone entered in the middle of their conversation, disrupting Gale's mood a little.

Gale looked to his side and saw an old man behind Kaley.

Kaley moved to the side, letting everyone see clearly who it was.

'What does this nasty old geezer want?' Gale thought with disgust after seeing it being Kus.

Gale had the least favorable impression of Kus as he knew of his atrocities and behaviors. One could say the Burnheart Family being the public enemy was mainly Kus's fault.

If he wasn't too greedy and was content with what he had, none of this could have happened.

"Cough," Kus gave a fake cough after seeing Gale finally looking at him. He regained his arrogance and spoke proudly. "I am here to congratulate you on your feat. You truly didn't disappoint your ancestors. I hope you continue getting stronger and help us to make our family stronger."

'This sneaky old guy.' Vik raised his eyebrows while looking at Kus weirdly. He knew what this guy was up to. He wanted to use his seniority and the family tradition to put Gale under his palm and let him do their every bidding.

"What is wrong with you?" Gale's face turned into a visible expression of disgust, as if he had seen the nastiest thing in his life. "Did you even ask who I am and where I am from? Fortunately, it is indeed true that I have Burnheart as my last name, and I do carry this family's bloodline, but that doesn't mean I belong to your clan. It looks like you have gotten too old, the common sense in your mind has left already, and it is degrading to that of a baby.'

Gale's words were like bullets that pierced Kus's heart, bringing forth extreme shame in front of everyone. Kus shouted in anger. "Don't you even know how to respect your elders?"

"Huh? Elders? I just told you that I do not belong to your shitshow of a family. I am on my own. I just came here to save this town because of personal reasons and the main one for saving my wives." This time, Gale looked down at Kus and said with arrogance. "I do not want to hear anything from you. Your intelligence is making me want to kill you right now."

Then Gale added with a smile on his face. "On which I don't think anyone would complain. I might even get many followers."

"You!" Kus took a step back and wanted to preach Gale but halted himself. He knew he was weaker than Gale, and everyone had a bad impression of him already, so it was true he might get killed here easily.

Also, the fact that Gale was saying he didn't belong to his family meant something had happened while they were in seclusion in the ancestral hall.

"It's okay, young man; you don't have to kill him. He is just like that." Pol came in and took Kus away by patting his shoulder.

Gale answered back with a smirk. "Sure, just keep his mouth in check. I do not know what more disaster his mouth can bring for you guys."

Pol and Kus were angry about it, but they didn't say anything, just silently walked away.

Everyone was also surprised to find such a turn of events, they didn't expect there was a hidden conflict between them. This also made them glad, knowing their worries were for nothing.

"Interesting." Saying softly under his breath, Vik walked toward Gale, feeling he and Gale could have a nice talk.

Gale also saw Vik coming towards and waited for him. He also wanted to talk with this monster that he was amazed by.

They stood before each other, smiling. Then they brought their hands forward, shaking them together.

"Gale Burnheart."

"Vik Silveria."
