Chapter 122 Unwanted Visitors Part 2
Gazing at the corpse of their comrade who had been split into 2, the remaining two Elders stood frozen.
Witnessing the terrifying display of Daniel's sword intent that had effortlessly sliced their companion in half, they were speechless.
Fear gripped their hearts as they realized the gravity of their opponent's power.
Daniel's eyes gleamed with an aura that seemed to transcend mortal limitations.
Without uttering a word, Daniel raised his finger again, this time directing his focus towards the two trembling Elders.
The air around him crackled with energy, and it seemed like the space was distorting and seconds later, an ethereal blade materialized before their eyes, emanating an otherworldly radiance.
''It's your turn"
He pointed his finger towards them and his voice was cold and unwavering, sending shivers down their spines.
What made it even scarier was the fact he was smiling.
"You won't leave this place alive" He added with no mercy in his eyes.
Even though the Elders were trembling, their pride would not allow them to back down.
Instead, they mustered what little courage remained and unleashed their strongest attacks upon Daniel.
"Crusade Blast!"
"Astral Strike!"
They attacked Daniel with a sword but with a swift motion of his hand, Daniel deftly blocked their onslaught.
His sword intent effortlessly dispersing their attacks like ripples in water.
*Boom*
Both of the Elders were blown away and they crashed and broke against the walls of the mansion because of the impact, the whole mansion shook.
The audience gasped in awe at the display of power, their eyes widened with amazement.
''Impossible!'' one of the Elders cried out in disbelief, realizing the futility of their efforts.
''How can he be this strong?''
''We must retreat!'' the other Elder urgently advised his companion, his voice tinged with panic.
Once again, they had realized what kind of monstrous existence they had encountered and they wanted to escape to report this matter to their majesty.
But they didn't realize that this wasn't even 1% of Daniel's strength. He was toying with them, if not, they would have been blasted into smithereens.
In their attempt to escape, Daniel's sword intent reached out with uncanny precision, cutting off their path like an invisible barrier.
''Where do you think you're going? Didn't I tell you that none of you will be getting out of here alive?"
Daniel declared while carrying an air of finality.
As he walked closer toward the 2 Elders, both of them panicked with fear glued in their eyes.
They knew what kind of fate they were facing if the man in front of them walked closer.
"D-Don't come closer! If you kill us, the Imperial Families won't leave you alone and this city will be annihilated!"
One of the elders hopes that by threatening Daniel with the Imperial Families, he will give in.
After all, no one dares to offend the Imperial Families and as far as he experiences, this works all the time.
Unfortunately, this doesn't apply to Daniel.
Seeing that his words weren't affecting Daniel, the Elders panicked even more and they tried unleashing more attacks.
*Boom*
*Boom*
One after another, they unleashed all sorts of attacks. However, each time they attacked, they became even more terrified.
"W-What is this!"
"What kind of monster are you!"
With their thousands of years of lifespan, they, who were cultivators that were the definitions of epitome, beings that were Martial Saints were now panicking.
Such reactions shouldn't be expected from Martial Saints and if the others were looking at their reactions, they would think these Elders were incapable.
Martial Saints is a realm where they have nothing to be afraid of and no one would dare to disrespect them.
They have the power to destroy a small continent and even rule a small continent.
And yet, right now, they were trembling and terrified. After all, each of their attacks was deflected from his body as though, there was a barrier surrounding him.
Nevertheless, Daniel wanted to end this farce.
With a swift movement, the invisible ethereal blade surged forward, encompassing the Elders in its deadly embrace.
A dazzling display of light illuminated the mansion as their bodies were effortlessly cleaved in two, dissolving into particles of energy that dispersed into the air.
The 2 Elders who were Martial Saints had died just like that. Their journeys and stories that should have lasted for generations had ended at this moment.
Silence engulfed the room as the audience witnessed the awe-inspiring spectacle before them.
The sheer power of Daniel's sword intent left them speechless and their respect for him reached new heights
At this moment, Daniel emerged as an unfathomable ruler in their eyes, and a force of nature that could command the very elements themselves.
The audience couldn't help but bow their heads in reverence and admiration for the enigmatic ruler of the city.
All of them knew or at least were familiar with the auras that the 2 dead Elders had shown and they were surprised that they belonged to the Martial Realms.
Watching Daniel kill the 2 Elders had left them astonished and their belief in him became stronger.
As the dust settled, Daniel stood amidst the aftermath of his display of power, his sword intent slowly fading away.
The once proud and arrogant Elders were no more, reduced to mere memories of a futile struggle against an unstoppable force.
The air was thick with tension and a newfound understanding of Daniel's strength.
The audience knew that they were in the presence of someone extraordinary, a cultivator who surpassed the boundaries of ordinary mortals.
The atmosphere inside the mansion shifted, now filled with a mix of awe and trepidation.
It was at this moment that they automatically knew that this would be the starting point of Daniel as the Ruler of the City.
With this belief, their belief in him had taken on a new dimension.
As the audience slowly recovered from the shock, they couldn't help but feel grateful that they had witnessed such a display of power.
Daniel had proven himself not only as their ruler but also as a formidable protector of the city, one who could wield the might of a god with a mere gesture.
They were clueless about the true extent of his power and they weren't ignorant for not realizing that he wasn't using his full strength.
After all, it was obvious to their eyes that he was toying with them.
They can't help but wonder what cultivation Daniel is at.
'Was it Martial Saint? No, it couldn't since he had killed them at ease. Was it the Deva Realm?'
Thinking that he was at the Deva Realm made them excited and if they pushed even further, it would be the Half-Immortal.
Possibly imagining that he was at the Half-Immortal had caused them to shiver and for some reason, the thought of him being in this realm wasn't far stretched.
If it was true, then their choice of following him wasn't the wrong choice, and because of this belief, the audience became even more assured.
The echoes of the Elders' defeat reverberated throughout the mansion, leaving the audience in stunned silence.
But amidst the awe and trepidation, a sense of admiration and reverence for Daniel filled the air.
''He truly is a force to be reckoned with,'' one onlooker whispered, their voice tinged with awe.
''I've never seen anyone wield such power,'' another added, their eyes wide with amazement.
His harem members, who had witnessed Daniel's prowess many times before, couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and love for their master.
They knew the depth of his strength and the oath he had made to protect them and give them love.
Fresia stepped forward, her eyes never leaving Daniel's form. ''My love, you were incredible,'' she said softly, her voice filled with admiration and obsession.
Daniel turned to her, a gentle smile gracing his lips. ''It was necessary to show a bit of my power''
He replied while embracing Fresia.
Cecilia stepped forward, her expression a mix of pride and concern. ''You shouldn't have to dirty your hands, master,'' she said, her voice filled with genuine worry.
Daniel's smile widened, but there was a glint of mischief in his eyes. ''It's all part of the show,'' he teased, trying to convince Cecilia.
And Eva, always the obsessive one, couldn't help but be concerned.
''Big Sister Cecilia is correct. You shouldn't have to dirty your hands hubby'"
She admonished, her worry evident in her voice.
''Don't worry, Eva. I knew what I was doing,'' Daniel reassured her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.
''That was amazing Daddy!" Evelyn exclaimed, her eyes shining with admiration.
Daniel caressed her hair affectionately. ''Do you see how strong your daddy is?'' he said, his voice filled with love.
"Can you teach me how to do that Daddy?'' Eleoana asked, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
''One day, little one,'' Daniel replied, patting her head gently. ''You have much to learn, but I have no doubt you'll master it.''
"Daddy is so strong!" Eliana exclaimed with a wide smile.
"Of course. With your daddy here, no one would dare to hurt you" He declared with determination.
As the harem members exchanged fond glances and reassuring smiles, the audience watched in awe, witnessing the bond that had formed between them and their ruler.
It was a bond that transcended mere loyalty, it was a family, united by love and a shared purpose.
Some were jealous and wanted to be in his position, but they could only watch from afar.
''My lord,'' a voice called out from the crowd, drawing everyone's attention.
Zuke stepped forward, his expression a mix of awe and reverence.
''Now that all of the representatives of each family are here, then, it's time for us to declare our royalty and declare this city as vassal''
He took a cup of wine and raised his hands and seconds later, all of the audience followed his actions.
''We offer our loyalty to the ruler of this city" All of them exclaimed at the same time.
Daniel regarded the representative with a measured gaze, assessing the sincerity of his words.
''I accept the offer" He accepted it.
Once Daniel had accepted the offer, all of the audience drank the cup of wine as a form of showing their sincerity.
