Chapter 16

”Ah!! My heart… . . , I never imagined that this day would come when I'll have to risk my all to save someone . ” Ved grabbed his chest as he finally decided to give this another shot . He threw a look around and found himself surrounded by multiple soldiers . Ved heaved a heavy sigh and said in a lofty manner .

”Are you sure you want to do this, only this many soldiers and you still want to go against me? Are you not underestimating this master?”

”My patience is up to here . If I fight, it will be like I am bullying you all, so let me give you one last chance . ”

”Leave the girl and that old man behind, and flee with your soldiers, otherwise don't expect any kind of mercy from me . ” Ved wanted to scare that leader into retreating as this was all he could do at this moment . He knew that he wasn't strong enough to fight head-on with these soldiers, that's why trying to avoid fighting was the best option for him .

That lofty manner of speech which Ved used pulled a tiny string of fear into the leader's heart . 'How was he so confident? Was he a soul master about whom he only read in ancient books, or was he someone from one of those prestigious clans? Had he made a mistake in judging the guy's origin?' The seed of doubt started sprouting in his mind .

'But judging by that voice, I am sure this guy is a teenager . My gut instinct says that he is just an ordinary teenager who got lucky somehow and found a heavenly treasure from somewhere . '

Even if he was a young master of one of the prestigious clans, he too was no joke . There would be no problem in handling him . He could only blame himself for getting needlessly involved in this matter . The leader tried to ride his luck as he commanded his soldiers to form their signature barrier .

The old man had a worried look on his face . He quietly took care of those two soldiers who were sent to get him . He too heard all those conversations happening between them . He too guessed that the one who struck that leader in the face was a teenaged boy, but still, he was more impressed with the courage and wit which had shown by that boy .

'That boy didn't lose his courage even while facing a hundred guards . Which clan is he from, why is he helping our young mistress?'

Advertis.e.m.e.nt'Whatever the reason is, it doesn't matter now . That boy thoroughly provoked the leader this time . If the guards successfully manage to form their barrier around him, he will be caught in an instant . '

”He had helped us before, so I think I should help him this time around . '

The old man was not a petty person . He thought he should help the boy and if helping him meant keeping those guards busy for some more time then there's no harm in it . He already needed time more than anything at this moment .

He looked towards the half-conscious girl who was lying on the ground at some distance away from him with his apologetic eyes and mumbled .

”I will not let anything happen to you, miss . I gave a promise to your parents back then, and I intend to keep it till I've breathed in my last breath . This is the least I can do to repay what I owe to that man . ”

”I will not let you down; just hold on for some more moments . ” The old man's eyes were glowing with determination as he walked towards the guards .

All the hundred guards stood beside each other while forming a big circle and started to pour out their spiritual energy in front of themselves . Slowly as the moments pa.s.sed, a dense, semi-transparent film of spiritual energy started to take shape in front of every one of them .

Now the only thing they had left to do was to connect it with their peers and make it highly concentrated by decreasing the radius, meanwhile, the person in between will feel the extreme pressure exerted by that barrier .

If the person in between is truly strong, then he would slowly start to lose his consciousness, while it would result in a cruelly slow death for the weaker ones .

This formation had been given to them by their region head to restrain someone stronger than them . This was the pride of all those elite guards . They had already caught so many powerful beings, with whom they couldn't even imagine in their dreams fighting head-on .

Whoever this person was, he would have a poor ending now that the formation was starting to take shape .

”Forgive me, sir, I mean no disrespect . I just wanted to test our abilities against you, so, we could know how far of a gap is in between our strengths . ”

”Or we could avoid all of this if you could just do me a favor and come with us to the region head's palace . I promise they won't treat you badly, although I can't say the same for this grandfather-granddaughter duo here . ” The leader's lips curved slightly upwards as he stated sarcastically .
