Chapter 452 - Turning Everything Upside Down(Part-3) (2/2)

Frost Flames looked curiously at him as she could not help but ask out loud, ”How so?”

”Bad, in a sense that we will lack a bit of the manpower, but at the same time it is good that we do not have them with us, just think about an eight thousand something army suddenly against you, we would be over run.”

”You are strong enough to take thousands down easily.”

Ryuu nodded as he replied to Frost Flames with a sigh as he ran his hand through his hair, ”I am but unlike last time they would be surrounding us, and if I used that technique of mine, I will end up slaughtering even our allies.”

Frost Flames leaned over his shoulder while she hugging his hand, they were silent for a moment basking in each other presence before Frost Flames spoke again, ”Are you not being paranoid now? Do you really think that they would turn against us?”

Ryuu looked down towards his hands as he began to speak, ”When I met with them, there were many who are grateful but I caught a few glaring distrustful eyes, they might feel greedy and attack us and at the end of the day their brethren would side with them, not to mention they might be suffering from 'Stockholm Syndrome'.”

Frost Flames frowned as she spoke, ”What is this 'stock home' thing you are talking about?”

Ryuu was taken aback at his question as he spoke with a smile, ”' Stockholm' not 'stock home', is a name of a place and as for the syndrome, well it is a psychological one, a group of hostages after some time began to sympathize with criminals who held them as hostages and began working against the local law enforcers.”

Frost Flames gawked at him before she spoke with disbelief, ”You are joking right?”

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, ”No I am not, that is a real incident that happened and is named after the city where the incident took place.”

”To think something like that exists, so do you think that it might be possible for them to suffer in such a way.”

”Yes I think so, there is a chance that they might suddenly sympathize with their captors and lash out to us, and when the other members of their realm see us attacking their members even if it is in self defence they might think otherwise and attack us.”

Frost Flames rubbed her forehead in exasperation as she spoke, ”You are giving me a headache now Ryuu.”, with that she glared at Ryuu, only for Ryuu to laugh before kissing her on her cheeks before her glare melted away as a playful smile graced her lips as she spoke with a huff, ”You lucky that you too cute and I love you.”

As Ryuu was busy flirting with Frost Flames in another part of Eden, a certain figure looked at the ground where she had drawn a figure on the dirt, a figure that stood that was wielding a spear and a sword, she left out a soft sigh as a deep blush formed on her face as she gently caressed the dirt.

'Ryuu, my beloved Ryuu, when will I meet you again and when will I have you in my arms.'

”Ithrura.”

As she heard her name being called a surge of anger passed through her but she managed to control it with a twitch of her finger the figure vanished from the ground, before she spoke in a bored tone, ”What do you want Jethrar.”

”You know planning and preparing for revenge.”

”Ho, and how are we going to do so, I warned you and look at you now cripple…ugh!”

Ithrura let out a grunt of pain as something hit her hard, she spat out blood as she snarled in anger, ”What has gotten into you….”

Her eyes widen as he saw her figure, more like a grotesque being that was created by lumping various creatures together from waist down.

”What is this grotesque being that you have…arrghh.”

Ithrura screamed in pain as she was lifted by what seemed to be a giant pincer as Jethrar spoke with a growl, ”Ithrura, Ithrura you have gone weaker, a puny 7th rank Mystic Immortal should not raise their voice against a tenth-ranked one, use that tone and I will kill you, I am now the strongest out there and I will not suffer your impudent tantrum, make a squeak and I will make you regret your birth.”, with his piece being said he flung her further away from him.

Ithrura hacked and coughed out blood as she glared at him, 'It is too much eternal shame that I lost my cultivation while trying to escape, and now you are bullying me when I am not even fully heal, but your time will come soon Jethrar if not me, my beloved the most handsome and strongest cultivator in all realm, 'Rain Sword Ryuu' will deal with you.'
