Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 272: Our Leader Is the Best!
Chapter 272: Our Leader Is the Best!
"No... This can’t be real! It has to be a lie!"
Nolan could not accept the reality.
His master was one of the strongest mages in the Vlizica Continent, so Ren should have been the one who died, not the other way around.
"First elder?"
"Impossible! Impossible!"
"First elder lost... to him?"
"Hey, tell me! My eyes are playing tricks on me, right? You’re seeing something different from me, right?"
"The First Elder... died?"
Disciples of Misty Palace dropped to their knees one after another.
Like Nolan, they also found it hard to believe what they were seeing.
However, Ren was standing in mid-air while holding Nathalie’s lifeless body, so they knew what they saw was not fake or an illusion.
It was the reality!
"Haha! I knew our Leader would win the fight!"
"Of course! After all, our Leader is the best!"
"Hey, Misty Palace, do you see that? Your elder lost to our Leader! Haha."
"Moon Organization is the best organization in Luvrela region... no, in the entire Vlizica continent! Haha."
Unlike the disciples of Misty Palace, Ren’s subordinates wore happy faces.
Some of them even could not control their joy and burst into waves of laughter because the death of Nathalie was not just the fall of one of their enemies.
It was the sign that victory was already within their grasp!
"Colonel Owen, Colonel David, what should we do now? Should we keep fighting or surrender?" a red-haired soldier asked with a trembling voice as he looked up at Ren in the sky.
Even though the soldiers of the Tuiziya Kingdom didn’t fall to their knees like the disciples of Misty Palace, their fighting spirit had diminished drastically.
Some of them even dropped their weapons in fear because she was their hope of winning the war.
Now that Nathalie had been killed by Ren, their hope had vanished as well because there was no one left above 4-star or Grandmaster rank.
Colonel Owen gritted his teeth as he stared at Ren with bloodshot eyes.
He wanted to keep fighting them, but they no longer had anyone who could face Ren, so continuing the battle was no different from digging their own graves.
However, surrendering was like tainting the dignity of the Tuiziya Kingdom, so he was facing two difficult choices.
"What do you think, Colonel David?" Colonel Owen could not make up his mind, so he asked Colonel David’s opinion.
"Let’s retreat for now." Colonel David also didn’t want to surrender because it would also ruin their honor.
"RETREAT!" Colonel Owen shouted. "RETREAT!"
One by one, soldiers of the Tuiziya Kingdom followed the order.
The disciples of Misty Palace didn’t try to run away like them because they were still shocked by the death of their first elder.
Ren didn’t chase them right away; instead, he remained in his place.
They were in his world, so it was impossible for them to escape.
"Have you forgotten that you are in my world?" Ren’s voice echoed across the endless sea.
The only way to escape from him was either to kill him or wait for him to run out of spiritual energy.
But based on how strong he was or how much money he had in his system, the possibility of them escaping from him was zero.
Big zero!
That was why he didn’t bother moving from his place because they were already trapped in the palm of his hand.
Colonel Owen and his subordinates stopped running when they realized where they were. Since the ancient forest had disappeared, all they saw was only endless sea and mountains.
There was no path to escape from him, so they turned around and glanced at him.
Colonel Owen gritted his teeth before finally shouting. "Kill him!"
He knew it was a path to death, but he still chose to attack Ren.
He would rather die on the battlefield than surrender because he didn’t want the enemy to use them to put their king at a disadvantage.
" So, you choose to die, huh? Then, I will grant your wish." Ren ordered his water knights to kill them.
"Long live the Tuiziya Kingdom! Long live His Majesty, King Aldric!" Colonel Owen knew he would die soon, so he used his final moment to declare his loyalty.
"Long live the Tuiziya Kingdom! Long live His Majesty, King Aldric!" his subordinates followed his actions.
Five minutes later, they all died.
When the last soldier of the Tuiziya Kingdom dropped dead, Ren deactivated his skill, returning the world to its original state.
*Ding...Ding...Ding...
Ren walked down from the sky while still holding Nathalie’s corpse.
Once he landed on the ground, everyone surrounded him and praised him, including the candidates.
"Grrr...." Nolan was breathless with anger as he stared at Ren.
But even so, he didn’t attack Ren and remained in his place as if he was waiting for the right moment to strike.
"What are you going to do to them?" Ren left the fate of the Misty Palace disciples to Althea, as she was the queen of the Veneian Kingdom.
Instead of answering Ren’s question, Althea turned to Commander Raiden. "Commander Raiden, knock them out."
"Understood, Her Majesty." Without waiting another second, Commander Raiden hit the backs of their necks, causing them to faint instantly.
One by one, they turned to Althea with a confused look.
They were curious about what she was going to do to them because her actions were different from what they expected.
"Her Majesty, we don’t care about the other disciples, but we should kill this person right away." Kairos said as he pointed his right index finger at Nolan.
"That’s right, Her Majesty." Daven added, "During his fight with the City Mistress, he said he would torture our leader and her until they begged for death, so we must end his life right here right now."
"Oh? Something like that happened earlier?" Ren had been fighting Nathalie since the war started, so he had no idea about this. "Is that true, Scarlett?"
"Yes." Scarlett replied as she nodded.
"Are you hurt?" Ren asked.
Before Scarlett could answer, Kairos said, "Leader, no need to worry. City Mistress is completely fine."
"That’s right, leader." Dan added. "This man here even could not injure City Mistress during their fight. No! Calling it a fight is not right either because it was a one-sided beating earlier."
"Well, he is a weakling who self-proclaimed himself a genius, so it’s no surprise." Daven said, "But even so, we must kill him right away because he had the audacity to harbor ill intentions toward both the City Mistress and our leader."
"Don’t worry. They will die in the end. But ending their lives now would be a pity." Althea suddenly had a good idea when she remembered their status in the Tuiziya Kingdom.
"What are you going to do to them, Her Majesty?" Commander Raiden asked curiously.
"I’m going to place puppet marks on their bodies." Althea began explaining her idea.
Once she put puppet marks on them, she would release them.
Then, when they were inside the Palace of the Tuiziya Kingdom, she would control them from afar using puppet magic.
"If we are lucky, we might even be able to kill King Aldric and end this war right away. But if not, at the very least, we can use them to create chaos in the palace." Althea explained.
"But what if they return to their organization instead of going to the Tuiziya Kingdom’s palace?" Commander Rainden inquired.
"Then I will order them to kill themselves before they reach their organization." Althea replied calmly.
"Let’s do that." Ren agreed with her idea immediately.
"Yes. It’s a great idea!" one by one, everyone nodded their heads.
Once she put puppet marks on their foreheads, she ordered her subordinates to wake them up.
Nolan and the others knew nothing about the puppet marks as they disappeared shortly after being placed on them.
’We are still alive?’
The disciples of Misty Palace widened their eyes in disbelief because they previously thought they would die like the soldiers of the Tuiziay Kingdom.
"I will release you all, but on one condition. Don’t interfere in the war between my kingdom and the Tuiziya Kingdom again," Althea deliberately showed wariness toward their organization. "Go meet King Aldric and say you will return to your organization."
She then continued, "If you refuse, I will order my subordinates to kill you all right here right now. So, what will it be? Return to your organization, or die here for the Tuiziya Kingdom?"
