Reviving Amane (Manipulation) Part 4
"All of you… shut the hell up. Do you even realize what kind of situation we are in right now? Of course not, all of you are only thinking about your own pride and reputation. You must be thinking right now that if you can defeat the person who did this, you'll get even more reputation and even a greater chance of inheriting your Family Power, right? Such simple-minded idiots, you should learn from your Ancestors. It's a shame that no one followed in their footsteps." An old man scolded the young and hot-blooded humans who shivered in fear after hearing how the old man scolded them for their actions. Beside the old man, another elderly person couldn't help but agree with his words as he also scolded them.
"Haiss.. Why is the younger generation so stupid? If all of you really want to charge there without a care about the world, then be our guest. We will not stop you, just don't blame us if you get badly injured or even fall here. We will not take the blame for your stupidity of charging through the enemy blindly." He said coldly as he shook his head in disappointment after seeing how the young people acted in this serious matter. If it wasn't for the ancestors of them being his friends, he wouldn't let them join this expedition just to get some experience. It was fine if they were acting like a true genius, but they were clearly not acting like one, they were still immature which is something he hates the most.
"Uhhh… we're sorry Elders, we promise to not do it again. We will never act rashly again." A woman who seemed the leader of the young generation spoke up with a slight red face as she apologized on everyone's behalf. She knows that offending all of these old men would only make it worse for their situation, even their own Ancestors are rendered useless in front of these true Monsters. Whether it was reputation, fame, or power, all of them pale in comparison to these people. That is why they can't just afford to offend them, they have to swallow their anger and pride for now. But the same thing couldn't be said to all of them, especially to the man who said that she was going to shred Yuki to pieces.
"What!? Are you kidding me, Elders? Why do I have to stand down because of your words? I'm already a Spirit Lord, why do I have to be scared of those things when I can kill them very easily? Elders, it may be rude for me to say this, but aren't you guys just scared?" The man scoffed as he even raised his voice towards the old people which shocked all of the younger generation, he was probably the only one who had the guts to speak so informally against the Elders. As for whether he got the right to speak like this to them, he definitely doesn't have any qualifications. Even if he was a one-in-a-million genius and was born in a Noble family, it simply wasn't enough.
"Boy… aren't you being too arrogant right now? Talking in such a way to us, who gave you the right to do so?" The old man asked with a raised voice as he leaked a little bit of his true powers, making everyone pale, especially the man who had just spoken arrogantly in front of him. His whole body was shivering out of fear as if he just met death face to face.
"Heh, such a weakling. After facing death, you have already given up. You may be strong, but you are too weak-minded. You say that you can kill the person who did this, then let me ask you this… Are you capable of breaking a whole Galaxy apart with your full strength like what this person is doing?" The old man asked in a cold tone as he looked at the once prideful and arrogant man who was now quivering in fear, but when he heard the words of the Elder, he stopped shaking and he was struck with realization. But it wasn't just him, it was everyone. They were struck with the hard reality.
Even if they were geniuses and had the strength of a Sect Leader or even some of the current King/Queens of a Race, they are nowhere near strong enough to break apart a whole Galaxy like what Yuki is currently doing. They would need to be at least Overlord to be able to do something like that and that kind of power is already the power of the Elders here, the power of their Ancestors, and it was already obvious that they were nowhere near strong enough.
"Such stupid little kids, why don't you do the world a favor and only speak when it actually makes sense and it is something that you can do? Don't always boast about something that you are proud of. Make sure first that you can back what you can boast." The old man sighed coldly while looking at all of them like they were trash and just as he was about to say some more words, he felt that something was wrong and struck the space behind him with his hands.
"Who are you?" He asked coldly, as he asked the person behind him. But he felt that something was wrong when he hit the body of the man who sneakily approached him. It was still moving even after getting his chest pierced, he was shocked at this as he didn't expect that the person would be able to survive after being struck in the chest. That is why he asked who he was because he was definitely someone who was very powerful.
"Don't be too tense Elders, I'm merely here to deliver a message from my Master." The Ice Beast showed himself as he easily removed himself from Elder Yu's attack and spoke in a cold and indifferent voice.
"Master? You work for the person who is destroying our Kingdom?" The other old man asked as he raised his guard up, he then released his aura and was shocked when he saw that all of them were already surrounded by the same Ice Beast that the Elder Yu had attacked. No one was able to detect all of them coming up to them, not even he or the Elder Yu had managed to detect the Ice Beast who was currently surrounding them which could only mean one thing. Either they were stronger than them so that they could escape his detection or they had great Skills in hiding.
"That is something that Elder Bai should be concerned about, the more important thing is for you guys to listen to my Master's words. My master wants all of you to leave this place. If you guys are willing to leave, she is willing to give you some compensation. But if you refuse to leave, then we are afraid that we will have to take action on you guys." The Ice Beast relayed the words of Yuki and warned them with his cold and indifferent voice which made them uncomfortable. All of them unconditionally trust the Beast's words because they have already seen and experienced hand-in-hand the powers of these Ice Beasts, and they know how powerful they are. If they really want to, they are not even confident in leaving in one piece.
"What? Are you trying to say that we should let you guys destroy our Kingdom even more than it already is? If that is what you are trying to say, then we will have to refuse. Does your Master think that we Humans are that easy to push around? If so, then tell your Master this, we will hunt and kill her if she tries to attack our Kingdom once more, relay our words to your Master and we will wait for a response." Elderly Bai sneered coldly as every word of the Ice Beast made him angry because it was clear to him that whoever the Master of this Beast was, they were clearly looking down at the Humans.
"Fufufu… no need to order my puppets, I'm already here. Though I gotta say, your words are quite interesting. I'm already giving you a clear chance to live yet you still refuse to take it. Now if that is not stupid I don't know what it is. This is exactly the reason why I look down on your Race, because just like what you said with these little kids, all you Humans are quite stupid." A woman's voice suddenly emerged which alerted everyone.
