Chapter 13 - Overwhelming Might
Chapter 13 - Overwhelming Might
Some of the adventurers were going to help Ren, but when they saw him stop a greatsword using only his pinky finger they were stunned. The receptionist who thought Ren was going to lose and was too overconfident had her eyes wide open as she saw Ren intercept a greatsword with nothing but his pinky finger.
The party of the man with the greatsword surrounded Ren, they were even a bit wary of Valdel and Lara, but even under this situation, Ren's friends didn't seem like they will move to help him.
The party of the man with the greatsword had surrounded him but they were doing nothing. They cautiously waited for a chance to attack. Ren then pushed the greatsword upward with a slight flick of his pinky finger. The man who attacked Ren was caught by surprise and lost balance by this sudden move.
Yet even though he had a chance to attack, Ren didn't move. This confused the man with the greatsword. Ren simply smiled viciously at the people surrounding him.
"Come, come attack me! Show me everything you got! If you guys don't attack me with all your might then you will die while regretting. Try to crush me with all your power, show me a battle worth remembering!" Once again Ren was being overwhelmed by his emotion of wanting to do battle.
The party members with the man using the greatsword stopped hesitating and attacked Ren at the same time. The healer boosted all his party members with buffs. After getting buffed by the healer, the thief threw five to ten knives at Ren which were all aimed at his head. The magician then started chanting while the guy using a short sword as well as his boss both attacked at the same time.
The one with the short sword aimed for the legs while the boss aimed at the head. Seeing the incoming attack from all sides, made Ren happy. He caught some of the knives in between his fingers and evaded the rest. The boss of the enemy party smiled as he noticed that Ren couldn't evade his attack as well as his subordinate's attack who was aiming at Ren's legs.
The moment both attacks reached Ren everyone couldn't believe what they saw. Ren who was using the non-attributed spell [boost] was unharmed by the attacks. The spell [boost] not only enhances the strength and speed of the user, but it also enhances the endurance and the hardness of the human body.
The spell [boost] made Ren's body harder than most metals. The hardness of his body was proportional to how much mana Ren could use at the moment. So at this point, the only way to beat Ren is if the enemy could somehow deplete his mana supply, or the enemy has an ability that can penetrate through mana coating.
Unfortunately, the enemy couldn't do any of those two options.
"Boss move aside." The magician was finally done with his spell. The boss who was stunned by Ren's powerful body was jolted awake by his companion's shout. He and his subordinate stepped aside, Ren who knew what was coming simply stood there with a look of excitement.
"Take this you monster! [Flame Bolt]" A huge fire arrow formed above the magician's head and struck down on Ren. The spell hit Ren without any interference, also due to the building's defensive spells the attack was contained on Ren's spot which amplified the spell. This surprised the caster of the spell as well. The magician never thought his spell was that strong.
The area where Ren stood was now filled with smoke. Valdel was shocked by the power of that attack, but both he and Lara knew what sort of being their friend was.
The people in the guild were saddened by the loss of a promising adventurer. He was simply too arrogant, and he let his opponent take him by surprise. An adventurer was only good if he was alive. The arrogant young man wouldn't last long enough if he acted like this during a mission. Yet the strength he has shown was real, that's why the senior adventurers were saddened by his sudden death. He wasn't even able to register before he died.
The party of the Greatsword user was relieved that the attacked worked. Yet they couldn't let their guard down since Ren's companions were still there. When they readied themselves for the attack from Valdel and Lara, they were surprised to see that they weren't moving.
While confused as to why they wouldn't attack them, the party of the greatsword user heard a hearty laugh. It was a laugh from someone they thought was dead.
"Hahaha! Who knew that you guys had it in you. I thought you were losers that had no skill and simply knew how to bark. Yet how surprising your coordination was nice, I give your coordination a B-. Your individual strengths are a D since you're still young. You would've had an F if you were some old veterans. Yet your battle awareness gets an F since you didn't even check to see if I died. You simply assumed that I did. Overall the final grade I'll give you guys is a C-, you get points for effort."
Ren swiped his hands making the smoke surrounding him disappear. The people who saw him had their hearts beating faster because of fear. Ren who they thought had died was unscathed, even his clothes weren't burned.
"Now as a thank you for showing me something unexpected. I will show you what true overwhelming might is like." The moment Ren said those lines, the surrounding people felt a heavy pressure fall down upon them.
The only ones unaffected were the receptionists, Valdel, and Lara. Everyone else felt that overwhelming pressure. The weaker adventurers were already on the ground unconscious while the stronger ones were kneeling trying to resist the pressure. Only a few of the truly strong adventurers remained standing. 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com
The greatsword user's party who were the ones being targeted by the pressure, could only barely stay conscious as they knelt on the ground. At this moment they regretted everything, they shouldn't have assumed the other party was weak based on his equipment. They regretted that they wanted to play with the girl. Yet the thing they regretted the most was that they didn't accept Ren's offer when he offered them to back off.
Now that they have provoked this monster he will kill them without mercy. Some of the members were blaming their boss for what was happening to them. Yet no matter who they blame, or how much they regret doing what they did. They cannot change what has happened.
"You guys were not as disappointing as I thought." Ren was about to finish them off, but before he could do so, someone interrupted him.
"Wait! Can you spare their lives this one time." Someone suddenly appeared in front of Ren. He was able to stand while everyone was being pressured by Ren's sheer presence.
Ren who saw this interloper smiled at him.
'You finally took the bait.' The person in front of Ren was the person he was waiting for. The reason Ren didn't kill the idiotic group immediately was because he wanted to lure this man out. This man who had the highest authority in this branch of the adventurers guild. The guild master of Grenton's adventurer guild.
