Chapter 574: Counts guards (1/2)
”What the heck…”
The first one to react to my sudden and smooth getting into my bullshiting role, was Celleria. Even more exasperated than the men surrounding us, she looked at me as if she was watching someone with a rare case of mental health problem.
”Who are you?!”
Ignoring this stupid girl, I raised my eyes with a deadly grin in my pupils. Considering how I could take them all up by myself, I didn't need to worry about the girls behind me. Not with all the new tricks that I recently found in my sleeve!
But I guess twisting the situation so much, was more than those local people could handle. Not only did they react in just a fraction of a second, surrounding a potential threat before it could start its rampage, not only did they manage to hold a group of three strange people in nearly a perfect control, but despite all of that the single man in that group was actually daring enough to call them out? With my face still twisted in the expression required to make my bullshit believable, I was barely capable of holding myself from giggling at their confused reaction!
”Hey, we asked first!”
Breaking the line and stepping forward, one of the weaker and younger participants of this group of locals clearly couldn't handle the situation. Pouting as if my words deprived him of the joy of playing a tough guy, he continued to shake his long spear right at my face.
So I broke its blade away.
One would be mistaken if he took those words for me actually moving. With how little effort was required to turn this subpar weapon into nothing more than a pile of dust, rather than wasting all the energy required to actually lift my hand, grab the wood of the spear and then break it in two, I extracted a bit of the entropy from the free magic around the spear, instantly releasing it to wreck havoc.
Obviously, with how little entropy I brought up with that action, eradicating a thin layer of the wood was entirely within its means, but it dissipated into the thin air right after, leaving no traces of my small trick.
”I will ask once again.”
Suddenly straightening myself up, I raised my sight and looked over the group before my eyes rested on the face of the clear leader of this group.
”You. Who are you guys? I would advice against making me ask this question for the third time.”
Rather than infusing my voice with any form of threat or killing intent, I asked this question in a carefree voice, as if just thought of someone disobeying me was harder to imagine than the idea of killing a god while being mortal oneself.
