Chapter 338: Show of Power, Meeting Begins
As Erix and Rin finished speaking, the atmosphere at the table became tense.
"Who and why?" Leishun asked, his face showing doubt and confusion.
"I'm sure you all are aware of Spiritual Arts. They give various benefits according to their type," Erix said while smiling coldly. "Someone here practices a Spiritual Art that's not sitting well with us."
"We fear for our safety and others because it's too cruel and dark," Rin sighed. "Although we don't claim to be so-called heroes, there are some things we will not allow if we see because we have the power to act on our will."
"Is that so?" Urasin let out a slightly loud chuckle. "Can you shed some light on us about that matter?"
*Crackle!*
Rin's figure became blurred while a bright flash appeared in the hall for a moment as Rin's katana swung straight toward Urasin's neck.
*Clank!*
However, her katana's blade stopped before it could proceed to cut off Urasin's neck. It was blocked by the Minotaur's hand as it shone with glowing dark brown patterns, becoming tough enough to block the attack laced with Rin's all-elemental and conceptual power costing her 30% of her total various energies.
The Minotaur blocked the attack, before causing the impact to return to Rin as a loud vibration spread, but Rin brushed off the shock impact by swiftly making another swing.
'Run!' Minotaur roared into Urasin's ears, but Urasin's aura was already turning darker and faint, preparing to escape using his Shadow element.
But how could it be so easy?
Erix instantly solidified the space around Urasin and the Minotaur, causing both of their faces to change.
'This guy...I may have trouble holding him off,' the Minotaur said to Urasin, causing Urasin's pupil to dilate in response.
'Are you serious?! You are a damn Empyrean-order at 188,450 Power Level!'
The Minotaur was about to respond in thought but suddenly felt a chill crawling his back as he noticed Erix's eyes looking at him.
The Minotaur felt something weird, and an emotion he was not expecting to produce in this meeting appeared in him.
Fear of death.
'No way he is capable of killing me.'
Alas, reality was often different than expectation.
Erix and Rin had decided to kill Urasin and Minotaur after finding out about their atrocities.
'Erix, it's ready.'
Erix heard Aria's voice before he suddenly felt a burst of power up in him upon feeling an infusion of soul force and spirit force from Aria in an enchanting manner.
*Crack!*
The Minotaur became red and brown as the space holding him broke. Meanwhile, Rin saw that Erix managed to break the protection of Urasin that the Minotaur provided and acted.
Urasin was trapped as he failed to break away from the space prison that prevented him from moving.
The one woman and three men felt despair as they knew they would die after getting exposed.
Amu floated towards Rin and looked at the four guys trapped in space prison before freeing them.
"Let's begin."
In the next minute, the four of them were tortured for several seconds before they spit out everything.
And right after that minute, the domain point also flashed.
*Thud...*
The Minotaur fell on the table, breaking it.
Everyone saw that chunks of his flesh were missing and injured spots burning with dark hazy purple flame burns.
After that, all of them focused on a rather unsettling and cold aura.
"T-this..."
There was not a single person present who didn't feel a cold chill crawl their spine as they saw Erix.
He was in his Undeath Aurelion Crown form along with his Death Heart in active since his Life Heart died in the battle, becoming a skeleton.
His pristine dark gold skeleton body with majestic runic patterns was royally wrapped in a regal robe and black pants. The dark gold Undeath Aurelion crown above his head shone with dark hazy purple wisps shining on its crown spikes, conjuring a dreadful yet regal picture.
"I'm sure you all know the full matter by now, right?"
Erix's voice didn't change as he spoke and sat on his chair, deactivating his Undeath Aurelion Crown form as his previous black combat outfit returned.
Beside him, on the chair of Urasin, Rin chuckled and said, "Nope, they know everything now. We can start the meeting."
"Hey, wait. What about your appearance? Why only bones?" Leishun asked with a dumbfounded expression.
The others also nodded, becoming curious. Even Sameira and Kenshin were not aware. After all, Erix didn't tell others specifically about his powers. It was his first time dying after returning here, hence he turned into his Death Heart mode.
"That's none of your business, is it?" Rin raised her eyebrows and also glanced at others who clearly looked curious.
Sameira, Kenshin, and some others wryly smiled, while some others adopted grumpy expressions.
Aria walked closer to Erix and gently placed her hands on Erix's temples before her body glowed.
She boosted Erix's Life power, while Erix also used his Life power and used some Prana, turning it into Life energy and recovering as he converted back to his Life Heart form.
"That Minotaur guy was fun, I had to go all out," Erix said with a laugh. His eyes glanced at other guild leaders and Empyrean-order powerhouses behind them as he added, "I'm glad you didn't step forward as busybodies"
"Or we would have more corpses here," Erix waved his hand, causing the dead body of the Minotaur to vanish as he put it inside his storage ring.
"Anyway, let's begin the meeting."
Everyone who sat on a chair at the table was smart. They clearly understood the whole scenario at last as they remembered Erix's first words after he came here.
Their eyes showed various expressions and deep thoughts, but they knew Unfettered Guild succeeded in the effect they wanted to achieve.
If they were not scared of Erix and Rin after getting backing of the clans and Empyrean-order powerhouses, then Erix and Rin were also not scared of them having backing of clans and Empyrean-order powerhouses!
