939 Mercy 2 (1/2)
Dyon paused in his walk and took a glance at Nikolaos' smug features. ”So, you'd like to use your position as a Legatee to bully your fellow junior brothers and sisters?”
”Bully?” Nikolaos sneered. ”You've clearly violated the rules of our Unseen Peak. As a supposed core disciple, a privilege you neither fought for nor earned, you've very clearly already over-stepped your bounds.
”As the Legatee of our Unseen Peak, it's my responsibility to handle you. Our Core Elders don't have time to waste on you, neither do they acknowledge you as a true core disciple.
”Now. Do as I say so we can end this as quickly as possible.”
Dyon shifted his gaze toward the inner disciple hiding in the back. Although he was clearly standing their for his own safety and protection, the gloating expression on his face was clear.
”Which one of you ordered that inner disciple to lie about the meeting time?” Dyon's eyes left the inner disciple, scanning the seven faces before him. What he saw was an odd mixture of deadpan, nonchalance, and one deathly stare coming from Donari.
Seeing that he didn't receive and answer, Dyon smiled. ”I understand. You're unconvinced by my appointment as a core disciple?” Dyon didn't bother waiting for them to respond. ”I wonder, if I fought you all right now, and defeated you all right now, would you accept your loss? Or would you find another reason to hate me?”
Dyon took another step forward, causing Nikolaos' eyes to widen. By all rights, Dyon shouldn't be able to move right now.
It was too bad he was far too naïve. Dyon was already suppressed to less than half of his peak abilities, the suppression Nikolaos placed on him was a drop in the bucket. Not to mention the fact he was already more powerful than Nikolaos was in the first place, meaning the suppression he could place on him was limited to begin with. If that wasn't the case, wouldn't Nikolaos be able to defeat even core elders?
”Don't mind me.” Dyon said casually walking by Nikolaos and arriving in front of the inner disciple. ”It's been 20 minutes. I'm sure you understand what that means, no?”
The inner disciple stumbled backward. ”Senior brothers and sisters… Please….”
Suddenly, Dyon felt a murderous aura overwhelm him as a fist blazing with foggy red qi erupted toward him.
At this moment, it was as though time had completely stopped.
The dense killing intent made everyone's blood run cold, it was as though the fist wasn't aimed toward Dyon, but rather, themselves.
Those who were spectating didn't truly understand the significance of Dyon walking through Nikolaos' suppression, even if they knew, they would likely have assumed that Nikolaos didn't use the whole of his ability. In truth, this would have been true. Nikolaos didn't use his full suppression abilities, but he definitely used enough to crush a mere 1st stage essence gatherer. The fact Dyon wasn't writhing on the ground was already enough to astonish him.
Some with fainter hearts immediately looked away. They were very clear on Donari's cruelty. Since he took action, even if Dyon didn't die from the first punch, he would definitely be beaten bloody in the subsequent punches.
