Chapter 266: Intimidation vs Intimidation (2/2)
But a second later, they noticed that it wasn't a pair of black wings. It was a giant insect! However, it was too late when they noticed it. The surging magical power from Vermi's body had slowly disappeared like it was— being sucked?
”...”
The insect grew in size and dragged her upward. Now she was dangling like a corpse. It was obviousthat she was exhausted based on her pale countenance.
In just a matter of seconds, the energetic girl a moment ago was now dangling unhealthily.
”M-monster…”
”Monster!”
”How was a monster able to enter here?”
Some people muttered then shouted and started to panic. Even the two securities stepped forward with their weapons.
To ease the people's misunderstanding, the man in shady attire walked forward and announced that it wasn't a monster but his summon beast.
But still, their doubts couldn't be lifted easily. He lifted his hand to show them that it was obedient.
The surroundings calmed down a little bit, but not entirely. After all, he was more suspicious than the monster itself.
Regardless,
”F##k!” One of Vermi's friends exclaimed then rushed to get rid of him. It was common-sense that in order to defeat the summoned beast, one must defeat the summoner first. Also, he needed to rescue her.
But the man who rushed forward came to halt when the insect threw the exhausted Vermi towards him. He caught her. ”Hey, Miss Vermi, are you okay?” He then stared daggers at the shady man.
”How is she?” The other members of their group came to them. ”Ngh… I-I'm fine…” They breathed a sigh of relief when they noticed that she was fine and just exhausted.
”Who are you guys?” A blonde with many earrings on his ears asked the man in shady attire.
”.....”
They saw the guy scratched the side of his face. ”Haha…” Then they heard a wryly laugh coming from him. ”Is that a stupid question? Asking someone's identity with this attire?” Said the person as he beckoned on his cloak.
”Exactly!” One person in the crowd suddenly agreed with him. ”At least read the mood dude!” And another one seconded. ”Right, it was obvious that he was hiding his identity!” And another added.
'What?!'
'Are these people all idiots?'
'Looks like there are no normal people in this city!'
He thought, then forced a laugh. ”Ahaha… sorry about that…”
The blonde youth was trying to hide his anger. But his face was twitching. It was clear that he was forcing himself to laugh. A cross-shaped vein was visible on his forehead.
”But…” suddenly, after saying it. The pressure around had started to become heavy. And the blonde youth's eyes had turned cold. A gleam was visible in his eyes.
”...sorry but I can't just let you go after hurting one of my friends...”
”...”
The man in cloth fell silent. Seemingly noticing the change in the blonde youth's tone.
”Cri—-!” The girl with her wasn't able to finish her words when he gently pushed her to the back.
”I see…” he replied. Then whispered, ”Looks like I have to deal with some shallow-minded people huh,” the person in shady attire.
The securities remained on their shaky feet as they noticed that the pressure from their surrounding had become heavier. Unfortunately, they were only volunteers. This blonde was beyond their capabilities.
The people around already on the ground, trying to fight back the pressure. But it was futile.
”I— intimidation…?” One of the people that looks like an adventurer, muttered in disbelief. This ability was a high-tier! Everyone grimaced after hearing him.
”Hehe…” the blonde youth grinned. Then, with a glint in his eyes, he commanded, ”Now kneel—” but soon his words came to a halt and stupefied. ”Eh!?” The blonde youth stared dumbfounded at the person in front of him.
”WHY AREN'T YOU AFFECTED BY IT?!!” He shouted in disbelief.
”Uh—erm… what do you mean?” Again with his nonchalant attitude, the shady man replied casually. Even his reply was a big insult to the blonde youth's high-level ability, the Intimidation.
Actually, he felt a little pressure trying to push him down. He knew also that the blonde used Intimidation ability.
”Hah!” They heard the man in shady attire sighed. Then he lifted the hood and revealed medium-length messy brown hair. But the person was a handsome young man. ”If you mean to use Intimidation, let me show you how it's done,” he said calmly.
”Eh?” The blonde youth was dumbfounded. Then he burst to laugh. ”HAHAHA! Do you think it's easy to use it? Are you fucking—eek!” He wasn't able to finish his words as he already found himself squatted on the ground without resistance.
”W,wha, what t-the f##k!!!”
All of the people who saw it were at a loss for words.
Who is this person? They questioned in their minds.
