Grand Lust Sovereign-Chapter 120 : Wipeout

"Haha, young lad, you have quite the fierce gaze. You should be more careful, otherwise…"

The man's face darkened and turned extremely serious.

"…you will face the consequences."

He ignored Julien's warning and walked closer to him.

As he reached, he patted his shoulder while gazing at Amelia, not looking at him as if he was a mere ignorant child unaware of the world's affairs.

"I'll let this slide. It wouldn't sound good if the Bandit King haunting the Eastern Empire were to beat up a child."

The man walked ahead without looking at Julien.

As he did, he felt itchy and numb on his hand.

Suddenly, his vision dimmed and he said, "Huh? What is this feel..in…g…"

Thud—!

The man collapsed on the floor. Blood spurted out of his hands rhythmically as his heart pumped blood.

The blood had no way of returning to his heart, and in no time, his complexion paled as he died from excess blood loss.

"Boss!" The men standing afar shouted in unison as their leader collapsed. They still were clueless about his death.

One by one, as the men charged towards Julien, they began collapsing. They only saw a faint shadow of someone passing by before succumbing to their deaths.

In no time, panic ensued at the south entrance as a group of ten men died.

Players at this floor were strong and in panic, put up their guard and stayed alert.

When all the people related to the man calling himself the Bandit King had died, a cute butler patted Julien's shoulder.

"Be at ease, Master." Jackie said as she wiped the dirt off Julien's shoulders.

[The constellation 'Light of Primordial One' stands up from their seat and looks down.]

[The constellation 'Light of Primordial One' is calmly staring at their incarnation.]

[The constellation 'Light of Primordial One' is silent.]

[The constellation 'Demonic Inquisitor' is looking at the incarnation of 'Light of Primordial One' calmly.]

[The constellation 'Sovereign of Shadows' is swirling their wine cup in amusement.]

[The constellation 'Eternal Flame of the Sky' has stopped all work and is looking at the constellations and their incarnations.]

These system messages did not sound good.

Julien was well aware.

The Light of Primordial One, the god born from the absolute good of the Primordial One naturally leaned towards holy and good things.

Jackie was a cold killer through and through. Killing was as easy as breathing to her, and the constellation-incarnation relation was bound to get tense at some point.

Amelia's constellation on the other hand, Uriel, was also staring at Jackie.

Jackie had not even considered other options and went for the kill. This was demonic in nature and did not align with her sense of goodwill.

As for the Sovereign of Shadows, they ruled the Underworld. They did not care about killings.

The constellation Eternal Flame of the Sky, the goddess Amaterasu of the Shinto pantheon, was neutral in this regard. There was no concept of demonic or holy in her books, just good karma or bad karma.

She was thus more interested in watching the tension between the two constellations of absolute goodwill and their incarnation who walked on the demonic path.

There was no time for Julien, Jackie, or Amelia to react to the constellation messages.

When these men died, a group of Players wearing similar robes and possessing the crest of a lion on their chests arrived.

The Players surrounding the dead men made for these people without them asking.

A man with shoulder length hair looked at the corpses and then at Julien and Jackie.

"Is this your doing?" The man's gaze was neutral, his tone calm, as he asked Julien.

Julien was the one standing beside these corpses and blood from the Bandit King's severed arm on his shoulder.

Naturally, he was the prince suspect as Jackie had not a stain of blood on her.

"What makes you think so?" Julien tried to stay calm and asked back.

Many life-threatening situations, and some teachings from his mother coupled with scoldings from El had shaped Julien the way he was now.

He was more confident, and the skills he possessed made him unafraid of any Player that appeared in front of him.

Julien knew he had the means to kill anyone he wished with the Forbidden Arcana Card.

It was on cooldown right now, but given a chance, the person would see a fate worse than the dead men on the ground if he tried to do anything funny.

"The blood on your shoulders. The sword in your hand. And that cold-blooded attitude of your subordinate. Is that enough?" The man said at a neutral pace, appearing quite intimidating to the ones nearby.

Julien shrugged. "Those are mere speculations."

"Hm, you are right." The man did not deny. "It is due to this that you need to come with us. If you've not done anything, you'll be cleared from any suspicion that may arise."

"And why exactly will I go with you?"

Julien's question made the spectators gasp.

The members with the lion crest behind the calm man frowned.

One of them took a step ahead and said while grabbing his sword, "Watch what you're saying, boy. The Ironfang Vanguard is not something you'd want to make an enemy of."

The spectators gasped again.

"They really are from the Ironfang Vanguard!?"

"I had doubts before, but now I'm sure they indeed are!"

"Shit. It's true that those guys are on every floor! No wonder it's the number one guild of the Tower!"

The comments from the spectators gave Julien an idea about the power these people belonged to.

Julien peered right into the eyes of the leader of this small group.

His stature may be small, but those clear blue eyes contained fierceness these guild members could never fathom.

"I'll let you save face if you leave now. Our encounter never happened, and I'll have nothing to do with the Ironfang Vanguard." Julien said calmly.

The threat sounded empty to the ignorant members of the Ironfang Vanguard. They had the pride of belonging to the number guild, and had never encountered Players who would defy them in such a manner.

Naturally, every one of them was pissed by Julien's comment.

Instead of attacking him right away, the leader of the group exhaled sharply.

He looked around and said in a neutral voice, "This young man has refused to cooperate with the Ironfang Vanguard's investigations and slandered the name. To anyone who captures this criminal, the Ironfang Vanguard shall pay a hefty reward. You could also have a chance at becoming a permanent member."

"What!?" The spectators were shocked and went silent for a good few seconds.

Jackie and Amelia frowned while Julien felt annoyed.

These things that were occurring were highly unlikely for a common person. But since he was a special child, it was only natural he struggled to pass through every single floor.

Julien turned to Jackie and said, "Prepare for battle."

Jackie was alway ready.

Amelia clasped her hands too and prayed, "May god guide these lost lambs…"

[The constellations are watching the spectacle with interest.]

[You are now live on channel Fl #29-771.]

[The constellation 'Rebel Sage of Heaven' is picking his nose while watching the incarnations on Floor 27.]

The constellations were interested in watching too, it seemed.

"Sorry boy, don't blame us if you get hurt. Blame that guild for tempting us with such an offer." A man appeared before Julien and said with a smile as he used his hammer to hit his head.

Julien skillfully dodged it and hacked his sword's scabbard into the man's solar plexus, making him spew a mouthful of blood.

The people here couldn't see it, but Julien was level 59, having strength over 200.

Even a mild flick from him on the forehead could break an average person's skull.

The man that spewed blood was a mere Rank 2.

Thanks to the floors already being cleared, weaker Players didn't have to struggle much to reach the higher floors.

It wasn't out of the ordinary to find a lot of Rank 1s and 2s in this place.

"Guys! He's clearly an expert! Don't underestimate that child! Group together to attack!" The man that fell shouted and alerted the rest.

Julien cracked his neck and skipped on his toes, preparing himself for the battle that was about to unfold.

The Players had eyes but greed blinded them.

They did not care about the situation and rushed towards Julien, trying to capture him.

What awaited them was one thing and one thing only.

Death.

Julien was ruthless.

Jackie? Even more so.

The ones that rushed at him were hit by his sword. It was raw strength which was then met with Jackie's daggers.

If someone was able to avoid both, Amelia used her holy spells to trap them.

The Ironfang Vanguard's members watched one Player fall after another in front of their very eyes.

It was a massacre, and the south entrance soon saw a big puddle of blood in front of it.

Corpses lined the entry towards the grimoire and it had only been a few minutes, but every Player at the south entrance except for the Ironfang Vanguard's wasn't breathing anymore.

The guild members felt a chill down their spines as they watched this group of three.

The raven-haired child with blue eyes did not look like a child anymore.

"M-monster…" one of the guild members stuttered.

[The constellation 'Light of Primordial One' is speechless.]

[The constellation 'Demonic Inquisitor' is speechless.]

[The constellation 'Rebel Sage of Heaven' is clapping at the beautiful bloody landscape.]

The constellations were happy to see a Player not afraid to go against the norms and kill fellow Players.

It was also refreshing to see someone not falter after hearing the top guild's name.

Julien was not paying attention to the system messages. His focus lay fully on the Ironfang Vanguard's members standing in front of him.

He took a step closer to them while squishing a dead man's head below, "What were you saying? The Ironfang Vanguard?"

Julien's eyes shone with a murderous glint.

"Whether it is the topmost guild or the bottom ranking one. If you threaten me, I'll not spare you. This is my last and final warning. Now get lost."

The Ironfang Vanguard members did not delay.

They left the area with their leader immediately.

Their leader however eyed Julien with his calm gaze. He still did not have a change in his expression and remained unfazed unlike the rest. What was going on in his head was unknown.

When this little episode was over, Julien went to register himself for the arena battle.
