Chapter 236: Preparation For Departure (1)

Hael shook her head and said,

Do not kill him. He is a person who even threatened the life of the noble clan leader. The Council of Elders will have to discuss and deal with him.

Ill torment him just enough for him to beg for death.

The elders, looking like demons themselves, gasped in shock.

Good heavens! Elder Hael! How could you let this foreigner act so brazenly?

Thats right! Ive been watching, and this is a bit too much! This is shamelessness and arrogance at its worst!

Relying on Haels backing, they spoke boldly.

As Ray frowned, they avoided his gaze as if to say, Oh, its hot!

He stopped smashing Elder Meades mana road and stretched his crouched body.

Hes a real saint, isnt he? I might not care, but you all revere that noble clan leader he tried to kill. Dont these elders have any shame?

His venomous words made some elders frown.

What? Then we should also punish you for daring to touch the noble clan leader!

What right do you, an irrelevant person, have to speak?

If they wanted to threaten, they should do it properly, not just point fingers while hiding behind Hael. It wasnt even worth a sneer.

And lets speak the truth.

He was the benefactor who personally untangled the hopelessly twisted mana road of the noble clan leader.

Not just that. He even melted down the irreparable mana road and transformed it into a dantian.

Shouldnt those who bring such a revolutionary secret technique of enhancement be rewarded with gold in gratitude?

Where has humanitys dear affection gone!

Instead of gold, they thrust a sword into his chest, making one want to applaud this distorted form of human love.

Having properly restored the noble clan leader, who was in a wretched state, it was inevitable to become twisted when only criticism poured in like a flood instead of praise.

Frustrated to the core, he casually kicked Elder Meade with the tip of his foot.

It was just a light kick, but from the receiving end, it felt like much more.

As soon as his foot made contact, the bone shattered completely, making the phrase gently breaking bones seem more fitting.

Aaaagh!

The broken bone piercing nearby muscles doubled the pain.

Ray clicked his tongue upon seeing the elder faint without enduring much.

Tsk, tsk. Such a fragile elder.

Looking around for another target, the other elders once again averted their gaze.

In the brief silence that ensued in the hall, Iriel arrived late.

She entered through the broken door, letting out a deep sigh.

Haah where were you rushing off to so hastily

Iriel, about to speak, noticed the elder carelessly lying under his feet and quickly surmised the situation.

Ah, he came to punish.

It was a common occurrence, so it no longer surprised her.

More importantly, she had news to deliver.

After surveying her surroundings for a moment, she whispered softly into his ear.

Ray, we have no time left. We need to escape this island now.

There wasnt much time remaining until the waterways closed.

Even now, they needed to prepare a sturdy raft for departure.

Ray nodded in agreement.

He had forgotten in the midst of enjoying his sweet revenge, but it was time to prepare, or they would be too late.

If they missed this waterway, they would have to wait several months, which would be a significant waste of time.

After stepping on Elder Meade a few more times, he proceeded to the inner sanctum.

Hael followed him as he approached the noble clan leader.

Do you still need to work on the mana road?

Huh?

We have to leave the island?

Its nice to have aligned interests for once, but this is too abrupt.

What do you mean the island will sink into the sea? What are you talking about?

Its a magic circle.

He said, pointing to the fierce sea outside with his hand.

That sea wasnt always so rough. Even a few hundred years ago, it was a peaceful sea.

With mana activated throughout his body, he forced his muscles to move, slowly getting up and walking step by step.

His powerful steps, as if splitting a mountain in half, made the elders immediately bow their heads.

The middle-aged mans gaze was far away.

His eyes seemed to pierce through something in the quiet forest.

But a few years ago, I felt it. The magic circle was collapsing, and the mana was scattering It was as if the island was screaming at me to leave.

The island screaming Such a poetic expression.

But it suited this situation better than anything else.

The sea seemed more intent on frightening and driving people away from the island than on protecting those inside.

The elders raised objections to his words.

But, noble clan leader, this is a fortress created by our ancestors with their own hands. Leaving it would be like abandoning their legacy, wouldnt it?

The old disappears, and the new comes. This too must be the will of the heavens.

That cannot be. How can we, mere humans, decide the will of the heavens? The gods will tell us when the time comes.

Ray frowned deeply at this.

So youre saying its the gods will for us to leave? The Saint has been saying that from the start.

Speaking, he scattered divine power, and the noble clan leaders expression changed as if a guard had spotted a thief.

Divine power? And you said a Saint?

Yes.

Gods will So, is this situation also commanded by the gods?

He grinned nonchalantly.

Thats right. The Goddesses Gaia and Priyas want the heros clan to leave. There are mountains of tasks to be done outside, so they commanded us to bring you.

If the two goddess sisters heard this, they would immediately deny it.

But those unaware of the truth had no choice but to be deceived.

Who would doubt the Saint, the so-called representative of the gods, telling such a thing?

The noble clan leader nodded with a serious expression.

There are many doubtful points, but lets ask them after we leave. If its the goddesses will, how can we, mere creations, refuse?

He raised his hand and commanded.

Tell our clan members. We are going to the outside world. I will not accept any other opinions or advice from now on.

Noble clan leader!

The elders faces were filled with anxiety and worry, but they did not dare oppose him.

Just that alone showed how much authority the noble clan leader held among them.

The man who could move a thousand people with a single word suddenly turned and looked at Iriel.

However, theres no need for unrelated foreigners. Its been bothersome having non-kin in the sacred resting place of the holy heroes.

Without hesitation, he created an aura blade in his empty hand and slashed at Iriel.

It was as if everything in the world was rushing to kill her.

A mere sword drawing a line, but it felt as heavy as a mountain approaching.

She couldnt react in time, just staring blankly at the middle-aged mans sword.

Then, Ray flicked his right hand, deflecting the middle-aged mans sword.

Grinning, he scratched his head.

Well, shes an adult too.

Watching him effortlessly counter his move, the noble clan leaders expression gradually hardened.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
