Fear Like Death

A black aura emerged around Leon, it wasn't that much but the pressure of the energy that the aura had created was something to be noticed.

Joseph observed the black aura, he started feeling the change in atmosphere, due tothe pressure.

What's this tense feeling I'm getting all of the sudden?

Suddenly, the pressure of the energy got stronger, all three had their bodies shook heavily for once.

Their bodies were heavier now, but it was not enough to make them fear.

"Is that all you wanted to show?"

Joseph questioned Leon, it seems that Joseph even after being burdened by the pressure. He Had an expression that was unsatisfactory.

Leon was just smiling at them for a second before he replied back.

"What do you mean? I'm just testing your endurability, I mean I don't want to be a master of three weaklings who aren't strong enough to handle such pressure"

Such an answer from Leon did make Kathel furious.

"this br*t. I really want to kill you right away. For playing with us—,"

Before she could say further, Joseph stopped her once again.

It seems that Joseph wasn't affected by Leon's cocky words.

This kid, he's just isn't testing us with one thing but also testing if we can handle his foolish talk.

At this time, it isn't we who are testing him but he who is testing us. What a turn of the table.

"Kid, it seems that you don't understand here. I said that you have to make us fear but instead you're just showing off your powers that wouldn't even make a dog fear"

It was just these words, due to which Leon begins to laugh uncontrollably.

Ha, Ha, Ha.

The irritated Kathel, seeing Leon laugh could not contain her anger Further, she took out her staff.

She was a mage, who can use mage. Her eyes were filled with anger which she wants to vent out on Leon for his manners.

"How dare you laugh, I will no longer stay silent and let you arrogant child waste our time further"

She lifted her staff up, to which current appeared around its top. The end point of the staff had a red crystal present.

The crystal changed its colour from red to blue, after the current appeared.

Pointing his staff towards Leon. Leon in his mind thought.

Great, she took the bait.

Joseph and Jack just looked at her, and spoke nothing except their stares. They knew stopping her would be pointless.

"Just die you br*t!!"

From the staff, light appeared and headed towards Leon, the speed was remarkable with which it was apparching him.

When it reached closer, it didn't come in contact with Leon but rather spread in a random direction onto the ground.

"What!! Why did it not struck him,"

"I will just try again than if it didn't worked first time but with more powerful one"

She tried again, Leon stood still and did nothing but watch the trying kathel.

"It seems to me that you're quite weak, I thought your anger isn't all that you have but I was wrong. You only have anger but you don't have any power to show"

"Shut you d*mn mouth!!" she was out of her mind, I suppose. She lifted her staff up once more, the blue crystal turned into yellow.

A giant crystal above kathel formed, then the crystal gave itself a shape turning into a giant bird.

Pointing his staff at Leon, she ordered that crystal bird, "Attack him at once and kill him"

The bird, with the order given, launched itself at Leon. Its beak was pointing at Leon.

"This looks a bit dangerous, why not I also strike back since they attacked first"

Clench…

He clenched his fist and moved his arm back. He was waiting for the bird to come closer to him.

"Ready, ready"

"Come"

The bird was now in his range, he swung his fist at the bird, hitting on its beak.

Cleng…

Shatter…

The bird insteady got shattered into many small pieces like the size of raindrops.

Kathal was amazed, seeing his crystal bird shattered into pieces by a bare hand.

"How can he just destroy it with his fist like it was nothing, that crystal is as hard as dragon teeth,"

Dragon teeth, those things are quite hard. Even if a dragon tries to break the teeth of its own with its own teeth, it will fail. Doesn't matter even if the hardening of the teeths is the same. How much force he applies, it's hard to break.

But it's very rare to see a dragon with superb teeth in the first place but it also depends on which type of dragon teeth you have obtained, not all have the same durability.

The dragon slayer was also made of dragon teeth.

Kathel said in her mind, she was angry but surprised too, how can this kid be so strong, he really wasn't buffing. It's still not settled since I haven't used my main attacks.

"Since you have attacked me first, it means now I can also counter back and defend myself right?"

The black aura fade in around Leon, this time it was stronger. Leon's eyes had a purple glow.

The atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Joseph and Jack also had realised that further staying quiet will be a problem.

They decided to take action. But before they could do so.

"Who told you two to move , did I?" Leon's words were chilling just like his gaze.

At that moment, Joseph and reaper jack, felt something. It was the feeling everyone would fear.

Fear of death…

It was not all, they felt that there was something holding a sharp weapon on their necks, maybe it was death who was ready to cut off their heads at any moment.

They were unable to move, but they were unable to move was not because of fear but rather something else.

[You're using telekinesis on to your opponents]

Leon moved his hand in Kathel's direction, opened his hand and then clenched tightly.

Kugh…

Kathel felt as if her body was tightly being squeezed by something. Blood came out of her mouth.

"Kathel!!" Both of them shouted.

It was all they could say before their mouths were shut.

"Who told you to speak? Just stay shut"

Leon lifted his hand up, making all three of them float in the air.

Woosh…

Bang…

It was just then he quickly moved his hand down, all of them fell to the pillars, the pillars broke and crashed down on the ground with three of them.

The dust appeared on the scene.

Leon only smiled, and spoke, "It seems you're quite the tough one."

The dust vanished, the pillar pieces were on the ground. All three stood still except for Kathel; the other two were unharmed. Since Kathel was mainly injured by Leon.

Leon made an expressionless face and said, "was this enough or you need more for me to show you. But remember this was just the start if you said more, I hope you wouldn't die"

All three of them looked at each other, they just made contact with their eyes, and understood what they needed to do.

They walked and came near Leon, they stare at him then they kneel to him.

Joseph said,

"from this day on, we three will serve you and you will be our master"

Then reaper Jack said and Joseph stopped.

"We will show you our loyalty with our lives and actions, and will be loyal till the end of our lives"

It was now kathel's turn to speak but she was nervous and embarrassed because of her previous actions. She was looking away only, not wanting to say anything.

"Please forgive her, she has a short temper because of which he recklessly attacked you"

Joseph spoke instead of kathel.

"I can't just forgive her like that, since she attacked me first I need to punish her well"

Leon stared at her for some time, and Kathel knew what he wanted from her.

"As you wish, I will serve you with my body"

This d*mn br*t, he is no different than a scum, unacceptable.

It was not only her who thought Leon wanted this but also Joseph and jack.

Bang…

Leon punched on kathel head, "ow, ow, ow".

Leon with a blanket expression spoke, "are you dumb? Why would I want such a thing?"

"I was examining how weak you are compare to other two"

"If someone attacked you and you had no magic, you do be dead before them"

Well that's right, even last time I fought against them. Kathel was the first one to die because without magic she can't defend herself.

Other two were surprised by what Leon answered, they were expecting something else but I suppose they were just wrong in their minds.

But can't blame them after all, if the world is worse what good do you expect from them?.

"From now on, you will do 100 pushups, 100 sit ups, 100 pull ups and 10 kilometres walk"

All three of them were looking with surprised faces, in simple words… they just didn't know what that was except for the run part.

"I will say in simple words, you will have to train your body to make it stronger."

The moment she realised her mistake of thinking something wrong. She was embarrassed. Her face was filled with red.

Nervously she spoke, "yes, master I will do as you say"

[You have recruited 3 members, ⅗]

[2 remains]

Seeing the message, Leon thoughts to himself.

I know where I will find the 2 remaining.
