Chapter 489: Compassion

Chapter 489: Compassion

I found it funny so weak people coming after me, even if they are thousands, they are very weak being mostly Grade B, with a few hundred Grade A.

The leaders should be the dozen Grade S with only a few Grade SS, the Templar at the front being the strongest in Grade SSS, he should surely be their leader.

With my current strength, I could destroy 1/3 of that army with just one attack, just with those few people by my side we could kill them all in a matter of seconds.

That's why I was finding it funny the arrogant way they are acting and talking, makes it seem like their victory is guaranteed.

"How dare you insult the Church of Light army, you damn Heretic!?" (Templar leader)

"Do you see something in them Lilith?" (I)

"You mean Revenge?" (Lilith)

"Yea." (I)

"Let me see..." (Lilith)

"Don't you dare ignore me your..." (Templar Leader)

"<SHUT UP!>" (I)

I was tired if I listen to the nonsense these idiots talk, I'll end up having a headache if I decide to start an argument with religious fanatics.

To avoid this I stopped hiding my Aura that already surrounded them while activating the fear, ruler, and assassin effects.

I also screamed at the same time using my Aura in my voice as I'm starting to get used to it, it makes my throat hurt a little bit but the effect is amazing as my voice can be heard all over the area.

The idiots finally got quiet with the Templars at the front holding their weapons in their hands as they looked at me seriously and discarded their earlier useless arrogance.

The other troops were in varying states with a few hundred being immobilized and the others visibly shaking.

"That's better, I'm a little upset with my luck at the moment and I don't want to listen to your bullshit right now." (I)

"Should we kill them?" (Layla)

"I think I've made my decision." (I)

I look at the Templar who must be the leader, he meets my gaze without fear but I can feel the anger and the urge to step forward to attack in his Aura, I increase the pressure of my Aura on him leaving him immobilized without being able to move a muscle.

"I don't want to start my journey with a bloodbath, so I'll have mercy on you this time." (I)

"Unlike the criminals and psycho psychopaths I've killed so far, you're just idiots (following a foolish God), I won't gain anything from your death." (I)

"How dare an evil creature to speak of mercy near our army of light..." (Templar Leader)

"< Deadly Intimidation >" (I)

Before this Templar keeps talking some bullshit that might annoy me by increasing my Aura power over this army while using my ability to intimidate them.

I see hundreds of people losing consciousness and falling into the ocean, the Templars who had not shown fear until now turn pale and I can see the fear in their eyes, moreover, I can feel the urge to flee in many in the army who just haven't started to run because my Aura is holding everyone back.

"I advise you to come back for me, I may not have the same mercy a second time." (I)

I keep using my Intimidate skill but collect my Aura releasing them.

Soon many begin to run, while the Templar I considered their leader looks at me one last time with uncertainty as he signaled his army to start heading in the direction the more cowardly ones had started to run before.

I could see the embarrassment and humiliation in the expression the Templar Leader wore before he left, but that's not my problem, they're already in luck that I'm not killing them all right here and now.

I head back to the ship followed by the others while ignoring Layla's complaints that she was ready to start a genocide, I stop in front of Marcos.

"Accelerate the speed, get us out of here before those idiots start thinking about dying with honor or any such stupidity." (I)

"Yea." (Marcos)

With Marcos rushing to regain control of the ship and the others scattering, Layla was taken in by Lilith and Hela who were talking about eating something sweet, meanwhile, Vanessa comes over to me with a smile.

"You made the right decision, their death wouldn't do you any good and it's not like they deserve such an end either." (Vanessa)

"I just didn't think it was right, so I didn't." (I)

"Blood is a gift not to be spilled without reason, thank you for making the right decision." (Vanessa)
