Chapter 26 - 27 : Warning (2/2)

The emperor's eyes turned serious as he saw what just happened and he unconsciously clenched his fists, he turned his head towards Arthur, only to see him slowly coming to his direction.

The young women wearing the green robe and witch hat ran to Buzo with a worried face as she kept looking at his horrible injury, as for the old man next to her, he turned towards Arthur and gazed at him, but Arthur could hear him chant some incantation in a very low but quick voice, and when he appraised all of them he noticed that the Emperor was the second highest and this strange old man to be Lvl242 while the king is 211 and the women with the staff is Lvl199 as for that bald man he's Lvl197.

Having proved his strength, Arthur thought it was uncessary to continue fighting so he spoke with a cold yet threatening voice

”I have come tonight to speak to the Emperor, not to fight, I have only been defending myself, now if you could stop attacking and let me talk.”

Seemingly surprised to what he just heard, the emperor who was also named Alexander Louis the II, frowned and seemed to be deep in thought as to how to handle this situation.

As for the young-women, she became angry and yelled at Arthur

”Haa? Who do you think you are? Barging in here and hurting people including Uncle Buzo and claiming it to be only self defense, plus you speak disrespectfully to our majesty” just as she finished she lifted her staff and began quickly chanting..

Not even 5 seconds passed before a violet fire speak appeared in front of her, as expected of a mage working under the emperor, she could control the highest flame excluding Arthur's of course.

The spear radiated some heat and pressure and it soon flew at Arthur, but the latter didn't lift his hand to defend and just let the spear hit him.

But what surprised the onlookers including Celcy, the young women who threw the spear is that the violent spear only hit the black robe and nothing happened, not even a scratch but that was to be expexted since he had immunity against all flames.

The old man who seemed to be muttering something since a while ago was astonished when he saw what just happened but nevertheless, he smirked and shouted

”Cubic earth cage.”

This particular skill was quite famous in this world and powerful earth mages could use it, like fire, earth magic is divided to basic medium and advanced and each has a specific colour, yellow for basic, brown for medium and jet black for advanced, of course, this skill is only used by people who achieved advanced earth magic and it is known to be one of the most binding logic as it is almost impossible to break free from the black cage for earth magic is known to be the best for defense.

The old man cast the skill a spheric black earth surged from the ground and enveloped Arthur from all sides, from afar it looked like a black dome.

As he saw the cage, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and nodded as if praising himself but not 10 seconds passed before Arthur appeared in front of the old man, with no time to react, he(the old man) could only stare with disbelief at the black robed man in front of him.

Actually, Arthur could have easily broken that pathetic cage, hell even his dark barrier was tougher but he just teleported away, he also created black chains and made them bind the old man and Celcy to stop them from attacking recklessly and aimlessly like that, after all, it would be a waste of time and truthfully he didn't come here to play.

No matter how the old man struggled or how many magic spells he used, they were all useless and he couldn't free himself so Celcy also couldn't escape her bind, she could only stare maliciously at Arthur.

Now that everything was calm, Arthur walked until he was 4 meters or so from Alexander he stood there waiting for the Emperor to speak.

Alexander was truly afraid, he was strong, that's true! but not as strong as Gen the old man who was bound by chains, and seeing Arthur just teleport like that, made him realise he is really someone dangerous and if he came here to assassinate him then he could only await his death, but he noticed earlier that the man in front of him said he was only here to talk so he decided to go along with that and see where that leads

”W-what do you want?”

To finally get a reply, Arthur was quite joyous, finally, someone talked instead of attacking, it seems the emperor was indeed a rational person.

”finally speaking huh? Well I've only come here to warn you.”

”Warn me? Sorry but we do not even know you.”

”Whether you know me or not, keep your dogs away, especially your children, anyone from the royalty who dares disturb me again would die with you, you better watch yoursubordinates and tell them they provoked someone they should not have to!” Arthur's tone was quite threatening and contained some killing-intent.

Even though Alexander didn't know exactly what happened, he couid grasp the general idea and it seems someone provoked this man, and this someone is surely from royality, he honestly didn't have any choice right now since he didn't know everything but he swore he would punish who ever was this reckless and idiotic to provoke this man.

”Thus friend, you need not worry, no one will ever bother you” even though he was an emperor he spoke respectfully as he didn't to just die like that by angering this man.

”Since you understand then I have nothing to do here, also don't call me 'friend'or I'll cut your tong-”

Before he could finish, the woman sitting beside Alexander, the queen could no longer hold her anger and shouted

”Who the heck do you think you are, you are in front of the emperor, just because you are a little strong you dare be this arrogant, wait until the holy church come and we will see if you dare be this bossy!”

She was flaming with anger and looked with contempt at Arthur, even though she saw him easily teleport and bind Gen and Celcy, she still shouted at him.

*paaf*

a loud slap noise soon came, Arthur came in front of her and slapped her with his hand, she was even sent flying a couple of meters. There was a red hand sign on her face and it seemed a little swollen, she was utterly shocked and could only hold her cheeks and glared fearfully at Arthur.

Even Alexander was angry by what happened but he remained silent and held back his emotions.

Arthur then turned around to leave but just after some steps he said

”Remember, if I ever saw one of your dogs annoying me or my companion, not even God can save you, much less a petty church.”

Just as he finished speaking he disappeared from the hall, the chains binding Gen and Celcy also are gone and the hall became deathly silent.

Finally, Alexander sighed and spoke with a loud tone

”Gen, immediately investigate who is this, since he mentioned my children then they must know something, go ask them, also if anything happens just withdraw, we do not want to provoke someone like him.”

Gen just nodded and swiftly left as for Celcy she brought Buzo and left, but you could see she was still angry by what just happened, but some fear nonetheless grew in her heart as she saw how powerful Arthur was, at least she didn't get slapped...
