"Enough! We will let him have it!" Veins started bulging on the Commander's face, this man was not respecting his status and strength how can he not be angry?

"Are you deaf? I said we can't give it to him!" Even though he was weaker and the Commander can kill him easily but the arrogance that he got from being the spy of the Major Commander pervaded to his bones. He does not even fear a Commander, someone who was only one Rank and level beneath the Major Commander

If the Commander was already angered what more to King? This Kenneth talked as if he was not in the scene and acted arrogantly to someone who was stronger than him. If he were other people he would already be killed

Due to anger King let out the aura that he was restraining, he may be a mid stage Knight like the Commander but he comprehended the basics of cultivation and was more proficient with energy control. This made him confident in preserving his life even when fighting with multiple people. The others on the other hand due to their caution with the sudden appearance of the Angel's Shop only just started learning

Even the Commander was not able to have a Mind Crystal because the Major Commander wouldn't let him

Everyone was taken aback at how powerful King's aura is, his aura was stronger than normal. Although it was inferior to peak stage Knights but it was still powerful for a mid stage ones. The Commander had to admit that he was sure that King is stronger than him

Instead of feeling fear Kenneth was angered by King's display of power. He believed that even though King was powerful but with so many people with him how can a single person beat them?

"Are you turning hostile? Go on then we are not afraid of you!" Kenneth sneered and taunted King, if he didn't have the military backing him his action was akin to courting death

"I don't want to fight all of you, let me leave with these things and I won't bother any of you again" for King these chocolates and candies are important thing to once again see the childishness that Calter should have

He was willing to fight them if its necessary, besides he has Runes and fruits that can replenish his energy and heal his injuries. What does he need to be afraid of?

Kenneth's grimoire appeared in front of him and hovered with a yellow light. "We are not afraid for a fight!"

King's face darkened, if this was the case then there was no need for talking. He charged towards Kenneth who become shock and was immediately filled with despair at how fast he is, if nothing unexpected happened his death was already set in stone

"[Innate Skill: Serpent Roots!]" King's right arm tranformed into five serpent figures made from root, this one attack of him was more enough to one shot kill a Warrior Rank Mystic

"Damn it!" Kennedy cursed at how things turned out but still even though his attitude was trashy Kenneth was still part of the military and he cannot let him die

"[Dark Magic: Darkness of the Night!]" The store immediately turned dark and didn't let any sunlight to enter the store. King felt a little sense of suffocation from this darkness but it was not enough to affect his fighting skills. Only, with the place being this dark he almost cannot see anything and has to stop his attack

"I'm sorry but I can't let you kill my subordinate" even though he didn't want to fight with King but he didn't have any choice. "Please leave now, this darkness boost my magic. I don't want to kill you"

King started sensing his surroundings, truth enough with a place that was littered with dark energy particles the Commander's attack would surely become stronger. However, King also noticed that these particles were depleting at a fast speed and was being replaced by the other rogue type of energy

This made him smirk, thankfully he can now see the element of energy particles in the air if not he would surely be fooled. King was sure that this darkness cannot be maintain by Kennedy for a long time. In at most a minute everything will return back to normal, Kennedy was only doing this to threaten him. After all King wouldn't believe that a Knight Rank Supernatural can do something as powerful as making a domain of their element out of thin air. If that was possible he believed that only those in higher ranks can do that

"How can you let him leave? He tried to attack me!" The furious words of Kenneth made King really irritated. If the man didn't become a bitch would he even attack him in the first place?

"Kenneth enough! Shut your mouth!" Kennedy shouted in anger, it was clearly his fault but he was giving the blame to the innocent one

Without him knowing his words will becone the cause of his demise, now King know the general direction of Kenneth

"[Innate Skill: Leaf Barrage!]" In a wave of a hand hundreds of leaves were instantly made by King and it all flew to where Kenneth is

"Not good!" Kennedy saw this and immediately activated another magic "[Dark Magic: Dark Barrier!]" Kennedy's own energy and a little bit of the dark energy in the surroundings made a black colored barrier in front of Kenneth to block him from King's attack

However, this was what King wants him to do. King waved his hand into the direction of Kennedy and the leaves immediately switched their targets. Due to shock the barrier protecting Kenneth vanished and Kennedy hastily made another barrier for himself even though it was not as powerful as the first one

King smirked and once again waved his hand but this time it was back to Kenneth's direction. As the man didn't have rich battle experience unlike the other soldiers he didn't even had the chance to use any of his magic skills before the leaves made him looked like a dead porcupine

Kenneth's eyes widened in disbelief while unwillingness was painted on his face before he fell down on the ground. Coincidentally it was at this time that the darkness around vanished and everyone saw the arrogant Mystic from before was laying on the ground without any breath left

No one felt pity for him though as his attitude made everyone to hate him. However, the soldiers were all shock at how fast King killed Kenneth even though Kennedy was protecting him

Kennedy's skill didn't discriminate and it also made the other soldiers to lose their sense of vision and they naturally didn't know what happened. King looked around and spotted the Commander

"You all can see his attitude that's why I kill him. If you want to continue to fight, I'm not afraid" while saying this King secretly put his hands inside his pocket ready to activate Cesar's Rune any second

Kennedy looked at King with complex emotions but since he also hated Kenneth he don't plan on making things difficult for King. "It was his fault to begin with and we don't want to have any more casualties"

This was the Commander saying Kenneth deserved to die and he didn't want to fight with King

"That's good then" King nodded in relief, he might not be afraid of them but his life would still be endangered. It was better to stop the fighting now

"As per our agreement you will take that two and we will get the rest of the supplies" all Kennedy wants was to end things here and go back to their base. Even if he was discriminated it was still safer inside a fortified city, he and his soldiers badly need rest from all the travelling to get some supplies

"Okay" King noddes at that, he still need to continue his mission and naturally don't want to linger any longer

"He killed one of our comrades yet you are just letting him leave like that?" A cold voice reverberated in the store and a man also wearing a military uniform entered the scene while three people were standing behind him

"M-Major Commander" the soldiers said respectfully while saluting and Kennedy started to have bad feelings about this

"Major Commander, what are you doing here?" Kennedy asked while narrowing his eyes. The man glanced at him coldly before speaking "The question is Commander Kennedy what do you think you are doing?"

The Commander and Major Commander looked at each other eye to eye, they seem calm but it looks like the calm before the storm. The atmosphere immediately become soffocating as if two beast were on the verge of fighting with each other

"We are here for the supplies just like what you ordered us to" although Kennedy answered in a respectful tone but him having his guard up was clear to see by everyone

"I know that but that's not why I'm talking about. Commander Kennedy why are you letting someone who killed one of our comrades leave this place alive?"

The soldiers under the Commander all stand at the side of the Major Commander. In a spectator's view it was visible that the soldiers are putting pressure on Kennedy

The Commander looked at the soldiers with disappointment, although he knows that most of them are the Major Commander's men but he thought that there were some who was loyal to him. If he still can't figure out what is happening that he would be an idiot

It seems like the Major Commander already planned on killing him but a perfect opportunity just presented itself with the help of King

"Major Commander, it was Kenneth's fault why this Mystic attack him" Kennedy looked at King with cautiousness, he might be someone that was also under the Major Commander and he played the perfect role to give the military a reason to kill him

However, seeing that King was also on guard that thought immediately vanished

The man shooked his head as if he was disappointed "Commander, a comrade is a comrade. You just can't let him be killed, that is punishable by death"

His hypocritical words made Kennedy snapped and broke the pretense. "Bullshit James! We both know that you just want to kill me because you are afraid! Asshole you are a coward!" Kennedy's grimoire hovered in front of him and glowed with intense black light. He was ready to fight any moment even if it will cause his death

James smiled evilly and also stop his pretense. "I am the leader of the military base, I won't let you threaten my position!" On Jame's palm three violet colored runes were hovering while the three people behind him also took out their weapon

One was a mage with ice blue colored grimoire, one was carrying a heavy hammer and the last one has a tiger's features

The four of them along with James are all Mystics. James himself was at the peak of Knight Rank while the Mage and Cultivator was in the early stage and the Bloodline Holder was in the mid stage. No matter how you look at it Kennedy's death was almost certain with their line up. It was a bit of overkill and it seems like James wants to make sure that he will kill his target

Even King cannot fight with this line up, all he can do now is flee. However, seeing at how cruel they are he was sure that he will become a collateral damage and will also be killed

King hurriedly took a blue and yellow fruit inside his backpack, the enemies saw this but just let him. They were confident with their strength. After all they have four Knight Rank Mystics and other normal Supernaturals, what is there to be afraid of with just two mid stage Knights?

Too bad for them their overconfidence won't do them good. "[Innate Skill: Leaf Storm!]" At his present mastery King still can't make a thousand leaves just like Kence but he didn't have any choice

Forcefully using an Innate Skill he still didn't have enough mastery caused King a severe headache and his energy were in disarray. As soon as the thousand leaves were formed, King used them to block his enemies' vision for a while and bite down on the red fruit to heal the damage on his body

The leaves surrounded the soldiers but with their strength they can easily destroy it. King then throwed the yellow fruit on the wall to make an exit, their enemies are blocking the doorway and they can't use it

King turned towards Kennedy "If you want to escape let's team up!"

Without waiting for an answer King already started running to flee from the danger
