Greed is good

The fifty elites surrounded Ragna, getting ready for a fight, on the other hand Ragna yawned. Everyone who was watching his complacent manner, while fighting fighters of the Foundation Establishment realm, felt he was crazy, but remembering how their very own city lord reacted, a person who was at the 1st level of the Transcending Mortality realm kowtowing, made them wonder just how strong the young man was.

A few strings imbued with Qi headed towards Ragna, but was stopped by a wall of sand. Ragna only had three more uses of the Suna no Tate/Sand shield. Yet the attackers didn't know this, so they stopped trying to restrain Ragna with Qi strings.

They then attacked Ragna in close quarters, their coordination was top notch. Ragna was currently level 17, which placed his strength near the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm. Still the group of elites had good coordination, and their moves always link perfectly with each other, it was not an exaggeration to say that they were more than a match for Ragna. Yet because of the Invincible Barrier which was still active, and still had 200 plus more uses, the hits the group does get in, didn't affect Ragna.

Seeing Ragna not retaliating they thought that they had a chance, even the group of people watching were a bit disappointed, they thought that the young man was more than this. Lian Hong was even relieved, when he saw Ragna fighting the fifty elites by himself he felt an extreme sense of dread, but when he noticed that Ragna has been on defense the whole battle, felt that he might actually be killed. The only people who saw this, and thought that the fifty elites were dead no matter what, were Elis, Reki, and the city lord Lian Chen.

The three new the horror that is Ragna, even Lian Chen who has never seen Ragna fight, knew that the youth, who was simply evading was something else. His fear was based on the fact that he himself has fought Chu Feng, before when he first broke through and reached the Transcending Mortality realm, at the time he thought he was invincible, but when he fought Chu Feng he was utterly defeated.

That Chu Feng who toyed with him, like a child fighting an adult, actually lost to the boy in front of him. So the way Lian Chen saw Ragna, was like looking at a devil who had fun playing with his opponents.

Lian Chen's view of Ragna wasn't far off, because the reason Ragna wasn't fighting back, was to make the people watching feel like he was having difficulty fighting, and was barely hanging on. Then when the battle reaches a climax he will counter and beat them all in one fell swoop. Making the people watching think, he was just playing with his opponents, will then in return make him gain more O.P points. 'It's about time to attack. I haven't gotten to really use the new skill I bought recently, let's see how effective it is.'

Ragna then caught two swords, with his bare hands, and sighed. "Is that it? You guys do have good coordination, and your swordsmanship, and tactics, are pretty standard, and good. The only problem is you're too weak!. eniant spiritus glaciales! Extendantur aeri tundram et glaciem, loci noctis albae! Crystallitatio Tellustris!"

Once Ragna finished speaking the surrounding area turned cold, the ground was freezing over, some of the elites were caught up in the ice, and couldn't escape, while the others who were able to escape had difficulty making a proper stance, because of the ice, and the chilling atmosphere.

Ice pillars then sprouted from the ground effectively killing all the fifty elites. 'Crystallitatio Tellustris really is effective against a group of people.' Seeing a bunch of people dead, didn't really make Ragna feel sick, or anything. Ragna was a bit confused, was he always so cold hearted? Did he really have the mental fortitude to be a killer? Ragna wasn't bothered much by such trivial questions anymore, even though deep inside he was still the otaku from earth, the system, and the world he was in was changing his base personality.

When everyone saw how instantaneously the fifty elites died in Ragna's hands, their minds blanked out for a moment, before looking at Ragna with a mixture of fear, envy, and respect. The people of this world were not much affected by the sight of death, but they were affected by Ragna's overwhelming might, making them fear, and respect him. They also envied him greatly because of that unrivaled strength of his.

'Ding' "Congratulations host for earning 10,000 O.P points."

Ding' "Congratulations host for earning 10,000 O.P points."

Ding' "Congratulations host for earning 10,000 O.P points."

Ding' "Congratulations host for earning 10,000 O.P points."

Ragna got a bunch of O.P points which satisfied him. He then looked at the fat pig, and smiled sinisterly.

He slowly approached Lian Hong, which made the fat pig even more frightened. The slowly closing in Ragna, made him feel true horror, like a Death God slowly hacking away at his life. He shivered uncontrollably, and before he knew it he fainted by the sheer uncontrollable fear he felt.

Lian Chen looked at his son in disappointment, but still even though he was such a disappointment he was still his only son. Lian Chen blocked Ragna's path.

"What are you doing Lord Lian Chen? I just need to finish of this useless waste of space, and this issue will be over... Or are you telling me you want to die as well?"

"Venerable Ragna, I know my son is weak, and useless, but he is still my son. I hope you forgive him, with the sacrifice of my elite unit, I will also give you a suitable compensation." Ragna looked at Lian Chen with a weird gaze.

"Very well then, I'm not such a monster that I will kill the son of such a great father. Still the compensation that you speak of, I need you to give me about 80% of your wealth, in exchange for your son."

Lian Chen gritted his teeth, and wanted to puke blood. After losing the elite unit, if he gave that much of his wealth to Ragna, His main family will cease to be in the city lord position, and one of the branch family of the Lian Clan will replace him. Was it worth it to save the life of this useless son of his? Lian Chen opened his mouth to give an answer.
