Gabriel had received quite a few Soul Healing Pills from Cylix, so losing one or two wasn't a big deal for him. Despite that, he decided to return to the Town to retrieve the pill he believed he had dropped there to avoid future troubles for many.
For now, he hadn't sent the Infernal King back to the realm of the dead either.
"Hmm? There's fire?" As Gabriel reached near the town, he could see smoke rising from the distance as if something was burning.
He was quite curious about what was happening, but even he hadn't expected to find what he did.
As soon as he reached Olivia's house, he realized that it was her house that was burning and nothing else. Not only was her house burning, but her father was also hurt.
Olivia's neck was in Rong's hand. Just the sight alone made Gabriel's blood boil, let alone the threat that Rong used.
This kind of anger... It had been a long time since he felt such anger. Olivia and her family had helped him heal faster, and something like this was being done to them?
He couldn't control his Bloodlust, which spread far and wide. When he was calm and composed, his ring could hide his aura as if there was nothing there. However, when he was infuriated, even the ring couldn't do anything.
That powerful aura covered the entire town. There was not a single person in this town who didn't feel suppressed by that aura.
Xin and her friends were shocked to sense such an aura. It was so powerful and so chilling. They all came out of their rooms, looking at each other.
"Where is Rong?!" Xin asked the others. Only Rong was missing.
She knocked on Rong's door, having a bad feeling about this.
Even as she knocked repeatedly, the door didn't open. Eventually, she kicked the door open before barging inside.
"He's not here!" She exclaimed, feeling slightly angry. "He didn't listen to me! That idiot! We need to hurry. His life might be in danger!"
All young mages rushed out of the guest house.
Before this fierce aura, the mages could still walk, but the ordinary people couldn't even move. Olivia's Father subconsciously dropped to his knees, just like everyone else in the town.
Rong was about to tear Olivia's clothes when he also sensed that killing intent. His hand stopped where it was; however, before he could even turn around, he found Gabriel standing right next to him with a blood-red sword that was covered in blood.
That blood belonged to none other than him either. Gabriel had used the sword to cut the arm which was holding onto Olivia's clothes to tear them off.
"Arghh!" A sharp scream escaped his lips as his right arm was cut from the shoulders.
The Sword was so sharp that there was not even the slightest resistance when his arm was cut.
When Rong initially saw Gabriel, he couldn't feel any aura from the young man. Moreover, the young man looked like a coward to him, who couldn't even talk back. He didn't feel threatened by the kid. Looking at Gabriel's weakness, he considered the other person who was with Gabriel to be weak as well.
Unfortunately, it was only now that he realized how wrong they were. Now that Gabriel had stopped hiding his aura, it was clear just what kind of person he was. This kind of strength... How could such a young man possess all this strength? Just what was this guy? Was he even a human? No, he was a monster!
For the first time in his life, Rong felt it... the fear of death. He was the son of the Duke of Yan Empire. He had always been safe and never had to worry about his life. Only idiots would have dared to even hurt someone like him, but for the first time, he felt like he was looking death in the eye!
He raised his left hand and started casting a spell, not only to protect him but also to hurt Gabriel. At the same time, he also jumped back, freeing Olivia, who dropped to the ground, weak.
Both her legs were broken, making her unable to even stand.
Gabriel didn't do anything for her for now. Instead, he rushed after Rong. He let the young man live, even after he had used such sharp words previously. Despite all that, the young man wasn't content? He wanted to be more brazen?
Rong finished casting a spell, making a wall of fire rise from the ground that surrounded Gabriel from all sides.
"As expected, you just have a strong aura and not enough strength to complement it! For a moment, you scared me!" Rong exclaimed. Initially, he was scared, but after seeing Gabriel being trapped in his spell, he could sigh in relief. "You might be a dark Mage, but even you can't kill me! It's time you pay back for taking my arm from me!"
"Let me pay you back in full," A grim voice fell in his ears, coming from behind him.
Shocked, Rong turned around to find Gabriel behind him.
"Argh!" Before he could even react, his left arm was also cut, which made him scream even louder.
"You bastard, do you know who I am?" Rong stepped back. He had no arms, but even now, he hadn't given up. He didn't want to die. He had realized his mistake and knew that he was not strong enough to face this monster. He had overestimated himself. But that didn't mean he couldn't have Gabriel killed.
He knew their army was going to come soon. He just had to delay for a little, and then he should watch Gabriel be killed. Later on, it wasn't hard to get a Head Priest of Light to heal his arms!
"My Father is the Duke of Yan! If you kill me, even if you hide in the depths of hell, he won't let you live! Take this advice and stop what you're trying to do. Beg for forgiveness, and I'll forgive you!" Rong declared.
Hearing the words, only an amused smirk spread across Gabriel's lips. "Yan? Duke? Let alone you, even if the King of Yan were here himself, even he would be dead today for what you did!"
Gabriel didn't take the threat seriously. He was already against the Church of Light. What was a measly Empire? The only reason he didn't do anything was because he didn't want them to harass Olivia and the others in this town, but despite his mercy, they did it! There was no mercy anymore.
Gabriel walked closer to the pale-faced Rong, who kept stepping back.
"Wait right there!"
