Heavy Moods

Spirit suddenly wanted to go out and teach the Imperial Knights a lesson or butt in just to make Ayensi feel good.

That destructive scene flashed within Spirit's mind.

'Just a casual knock from Master is enough to destroy Ressuim. If Master is in a bad mood and something happened and pushed him to his limits?'

Her breathing became faster and chilly.

Becoming violent is not really that rare. If one just hit their pinky toe on something, they would already cursed and slammed the wall.

Although physical pain wouldn't affect Ayensi, what about obnoxity?

'So that's why the Go- the Celestials were very obedient like... dogs.'

Before, there is no way Spirit would compare the Gods to dogs, however, if compared to Ayensi, they were no different than dogs or anything in fact.

It's like someone who had yet to see a blue whale thought that elephants are the biggest animal in the world.

'Should I do something?' Spirit thought.

But she was too afraid that she would offend Ayensi instead if she acted on her own. That was why she looked at Shiena.

'Celestial Shiena should know a way how to appease Master's anger. I should watch and learn from what she's about to do.'

When Spirit focused on the person who is supposed to know how to handle the situation, she just saw a maiden in distress.

"..."

Spirit sweated bullets from what she was witnessing.

Shiena turned into someone weak and timid. Her legs trembled and her face paled. However, she still stayed passive and seemingly confused and scared at the same time.

Spirit could only think of one thing to define Shiena's state.

'She's like a scared puppy.'

Coupled with her beauty, even with the situation, Spirit found the Celestial of the Highest to be very cute. She suddenly had the urge to pat her head and comfort her.

'Somehow, I don't feel that much intimidated by her...' Spirit thought while also realizing that her state is not that different from Shiena's.

She was trembling to the thought that Ayensi may get angry and violent, instantly destroying Ressuim on a whim, too.

Although Ayensi can turn back everything again in their head, what if he had enough? Can they be so sure that Ayensi wouldn't do that?

Anxiety was piling up within Shiena and Spirit. They were stuck if they should do something to appease their master's bad mood or not since they may cross the line without knowing.

Ayensi noticed the two's behavior, however, he didn't spare much thought to it, leaving them in that poor state.

Meanwhile, Berdan had already readied his sword for an attack.

With a strong physique and spirit energy fueled by rage, Berdan swung his sword.

'Love is not just about the looks!' he thought.

Boom!

Dust billowed and like clouds, it covered the area after a short quake of the ground.

However, Ayensi, merciless as usual, didn't spare a drop of blood for him.

...

...

...

In the name of revenge, Berdan continued until he lost all his teeth.

At this point, the other Imperial Knights were speechless.

Anya once thought that she was so close had her mind changed.

There was a brief silence after Berdan completely lost before Ayensi looked at Captian Gragan and asked;

"How about you, Captain?"

Captain Gragan frowned. He planned not to participate after seeing Ayensi's defense is.

However, there were heated gazes coming from the other three Imperial Knights. It was clear what their thoughts are.

'Captain, teach him a lesson!'

'You think we could compare to Captain? You're wrong!'

'Please, avenge us!'

As if children seeking reliance, these three Imperial Knights looked at their captain with expectation.

However, Captain Gragan would not be swayed by pressure.

"No, it is enough. You have already proven yourself."

Ayensi raised an eyebrow while the other three Imperial Knights were disappointed.

Captain Gragan chose to endure their disappointment rather than losing a tooth.

'I could win at the end by I will definitely have a few missing teeth at the end.'

And that thought doomed him.

"Captain, I am supposed to qualify for your position. If you don't test me, then this would be meaningless."

From the start, Captain Gragan is Ayensi's main target. He had always noticed the belittling and condescending look from this captain of the Imperial Knights.

Why would Ayensi spare him?

"Don't get cocky, Yensi, you are far from being qualified as a Captain."

Captain Gragan was still calm.

"How could you say that if you haven't tested me yet?"

Ayensi kept attacking, "Are you afraid that I will take that position from you?"

Gasps could be then heard from the Imperial Knights before they looked at Captain Gragan nervously.

The situation had turned sharp.

"You think that I'm afraid? Yes, definitely. I am afraid that I will lose my position." at the next moment, Captain Gragan's eyes turned sharp.

"However, I am not scared of losing it to you."

"Then why not try me if that's the case?"

Ayensi slightly tilted his head up, looking down on the captain. The atmosphere became heavier and Captain Gragan's glared heating up.

"If I participated in this act, the Great Emperor may get caught since we are not that far enough from the palace."

It was bold for him to look at his strength as something so devastating. The Imperial Knights were a little awed by this confidence while Shiena and Spirit basically don't care.

Meanwhile, Ayensi internally scoffed at this statement.

"Then do you want to move to another place?"

"Hmm, sure..." Captain Gragan no longer resisted the idea.

"Follow me." he said before abruptly kicking the ground and jumped high into the clouds in a matter of seconds.

The Imperial Knights looked at this and thought that the gap between them and their captain is too wide.

They were too impressed that when Ayensi just simply levitated and followed, it took them a second to realize.

"I-... ish he flying...?" Justin pointed with a doubting voice.
