47 Chapter 47: Leilas Last Words (1/2)

Everyone felt true and utter despair. They were facing an enemy that was able to behead the three giants in a mere minute. He also possessed these puppets that were already at the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm. The most frightening factor is that it was unknown to Dylan and company the definite number of puppets that Byron possessed.

”Don't worry these five are only the weakest of my collection. There are still more puppets that are superior in strength, speed and dexterity in my collection.” Byron smiled as he let his clouds consume the bodies of the three giants and several moments later, only the clothes were left, the bodies of the three giants were gone.

Strangely, after Byron's statement the puppets stopped attacking and became static. They did not attack nor defend against the army. The army tried attacking the puppets but they were still unable to put a scratch on them, lest, damage them at all.

These puppets were already so tough yet Byron still claimed these are only the weakest? He also said that there are still puppets far stronger than these 5? How about Byron himself? How strong was he to be able to control so many powerful puppets.

At the sight of there masters' corpses being devoured and at the thought of the vast strength Byron possessed, some​ knelt and was staring blankly at the corpses of the three giants. Some cried because of the death of their masters. Some fled from fright. Some became pale-faced and trembled as they could not accept their fates. Some became hysterical and frantic and started blaming Dylan.

Being unable to do anything to an insurmountable behemoth like Byron, they focused their anger and hate to Dylan. A warrior could not contain his loathe towards Dylan as he charged at Dylan alone.

”It's all your fault!!” A warrior held Dylan's collar which started to rip because it was already worn out and burned from his fight with Andrew.

”Hey, stop that!” Jack tried to make the warrior release his grip on Dylan's color.

But since the warrior was an 11th level Awakened Spirit Realm practitioner, he easily released himself from the interference of Jack by hitting him with an elbow strike. Jack was blown away because of the tremendous strength of that elbow strike which did not know how to hold back.

”What​ are you doing?” Dylan held the hands of this warrior and swung it downwards to escape from his grasp which lead to the ripping of the collar of his shirt. He kicked the warrior by the chest to distance himself by a little bit. After escaping from that warriors grasp, he aided Jack to stand up.

”It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, master Galagher would not die an unjustified and untimely death!” The warrior blamed him so loudly.

”Huh? What are you talking about?” Dylan felt that this man was being irrational.

”That's right, if it weren't because of your sudden appearance, then Master Blood Wolf would have been still alive!!” Another warrior blamed Dylan for the death of their masters.

”It's not like that. You don't understand~.” Dylan tried to rebut.

”What do we not understand, huh? It's you who don't​ understand us! Our masters are like our parents. They kept and nurtured as to who we are today! You won't understand what it's like to lose your parent who died right in front of you!!” Another warrior from the Mystical Herb Garden argued.

These cries of agony woke up the other warriors and invited them to put the blame on Dylan. Soon, all the warriors that were affiliated with the three giants rebelled against Dylan and blamed him for everything.

”Wait, everyone​, please calm down. It doesn't have to be this way!” Frank said.

”Calm down, everyone! This is just what our opponent wants to happen! He wants us to be consumed by hate so that he will be able to use us as his puppets!” Larry shouted with the intent of bringing light to the people and preventing them from falling to the enemies scheme.

”Do you really think we'd be so dumb as to believe you?! Aren't you just using us as well?!” Another warrior cried out.

”That's right! For the sake of the survival of your restaurant, you are using us!” A scholarly young man that came from the Thousand Treasures Pavilion agreed.

”You, guys! Can't you just listen to us?!” Roland shouted.

”Stop it, everyone. It's of no use. I can faintly sense ominous Magnate Strength wrapped around them. The warriors couldn't notice it but they are already being manipulated.” Dylan sensed his surroundings and he was able to sense faint threads of ominous and powerful Magnate Strength connected from the bodies of the warriors andByron. So he gestured his employees to retreat a few steps back.

”What? When?” The employees were shocked to hear that news.

”I'm not sure but from what I've deduced. It seems like Byron could easily invade our minds if we let our hate consume us, so you must all keep your mind calm and collected. Do not be hysterical and be overemotional or else, we are all doomed.” Dylan enlightened his employees what to do.

”Yes, sir.” The employees nodded in response.

”Good.” Dylan replied. But, Dylan suddenly had this ominous feeling. He felt this feeling before, before he arrived into this world. The feeling of death approaching!

”Sir Dylan, watch out!” Leila was the nearest to Dylan and she saw a 13th level Awakened Spirit Realm warrior who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and held a half-meter dagger that he was about​ to thrust into Dylan's back. She pushed back Dylan and took the strike for him. The dagger pierced through the center of her chest and was withdrawn quickly.

”LEILA!!!” Dylan held the fragile body of this woman which was bleeding profusely. Leila's face was as white as paper and his body was getting increasingly colder. Dylan was trembling when he saw that this woman was still smiling as she said.

”I'm glad... that you're... unhurt... sir Dylan.” Leila smiled as she coughed some blood that made her already pale-face paler. This made Dylan's heart hurt when he heard that this beauty was still worried about him despite her current condition.

Seeing that his assassination failed, the warrior tried to leave as fast as possible.
