Chapter 435: Pressure (2/2)
”The first option is to surrender. Allow us to escort you to a holding cell within Camelot until negotiations are complete. After this, we will release you and you can go about your business.
”The second is to battle. Should you do this, however, you will definitely die.”
Leonel didn't add any flowery words of encouragement or any coercion in the slightest. He simply laid out the facts as they were.
These four had no idea, but they were facing two opponents who had already stepped into the Fourth Dimension. Not only had Aina done so, but the little mink had done so as well. On top of that, there was Leonel whose ability was already at the pinnacle of the Fifth Dimension and was supported by a mind within the Fourth.
With only four of them… they simply stood no chance.
The truth was that Leonel suspected that Ameron had already stepped into the Fourth Dimension. He could tell simply by observing him that he was different from the other three. But, Leonel didn't believe that this would make a large difference.
Still, Leonel made a mental note that he needed to understand more about the Fourth Dimension. Because he didn't have the latter portions of [Dimensional Cleanse], he was flying in the dark about how the power systems of the Fourth Dimension functioned. As such, he found it difficult to scan the 'stats' of someone within this Dimension.
However, Leonel's gut feeling told him that the combination of Aina and the little mink was more than enough to deal with this golden haired man. As for the other three… they were his.
”So, which choice will you make.”
Leonel brandished his bow, his demeanor calm and collected.
The four began to sweat. This wasn't just a problem of facing the three before them. The main issue was that they were still in enemy territory.
Defeating these brats was one thing, but what if Camelot mobilized an army? What would they do then?
They didn't feel that these three were stupid enough to come without requesting any sort of back up assistance… right? They couldn't have?
Leonel's lip curled into a smile. The most important thing about applying pressure on a person wasn't how much you applied, but when you applied it.
If you used all your tactics immediately on a strong minded individual, they would all fall flat. But, if you simply poked at someone when they were in their most fragile state…
They would collapse like a house of cards.
Leonel pointed toward the green haired lady.
”You have a Lineage Factor that has great synergy with plants. In your mind, you're probably undefeatable in a forest facing opponents like us, right? You're probably even more confident than a usual member of your family because your ability is an A-grade Harden ability that reinforces the chemical structure of objects to make them tougher than the strongest diamonds and the best alloys… is that right?
”Quite a great synergy of your abilities. Would be quite a hassle to deal with a flood of vines all harder than the sharpest swords.”
Zindi shuddered, the subtle movements she had made to control the vegetation in the surroundings coming to a grinding halt.
Leonel's smirk deepened, pointing toward Matteus.
”And you…”
