Souta stood up and patted his clothes. He also wiped the blood that got on his body.
'Ufufu, that's quite a show.' Saya's voice sounded in his mind.
"Yeah, it was a masterpiece," Souta replied to her as he placed back the vajra sword in its sheath before drinking mana potion.
'I really like it you know. This show somehow satiated my boredom.' Saya chuckled.
"What can I do? I'm going to lose if I fought them head-on so I defeated them one by one and show them despair to break their mind." Souta said as a smile formed on his face. He then rubbed a part of his neck and recalled what he did before.
He let Saya possessed his body and used her voice to instilled fear in those people. At first, he wasn't sure if his plan would work but in the end, they succumbed to their fear. He let them lose their composure so that he could chip them away easily.
'Let's do it again.' Saya said to him.
"Yeah, next time I will show you a show without a shred of salvation." Souta agreed to her words.
'Ufufu, I like it.' Saya laughed faintly at his words.
...
Lynn was looking at the black mist intently as she waited for Souta and Yuko to come out. While waiting for them, she was looking out at her surrounding in case some people appear and disturb Souta.
After a few minutes, Souta and Yuko came out of the black mist.
"Souta! Yuko!" Lynn smiled as she went towards the two. She then lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Souta. I couldn't keep the barrier."
Souta glanced at her and said, "You don't have to apologize. It was unavoidable as Yuko used her full power that broke the barrier. Our opponents this time are strong so Yuko had no choice but to use her power."
"I-Is that so?" Lynn glanced at Souta.
"Yup, so don't think about it. Everything works fine in the end. As long as it produced good then it's fine." Souta smiled as he patted her shoulders.
Lynn just lowered her head as a tinge of redness formed on her cheeks.
"I need to report this battle to Lumilia," Souta said as he took out transmission talisman. "Hello, Lumilia. We've finished those B-ranks. You don't have to worry about them."
"O-Oh, that's good. We could win this war." Lumilia's voice sounded in the talisman.
"I'm going there with Yuko and Lynn so prepare a cup of coffee for me. I wanna relax this time." Souta said as he yawned and stretched his arms.
"Understood. I will prepare it immediately." Lumilia replied to him.
"Let's get going. I'm sure you wanted to rest too Lynn. We've traveled from the party to this city after all." Souta said.
...
Souta's group left so the black mist slowly dissipated as Souta canceled his spell. It was draining his mana by using this for a few minutes.
As soon as the black mist disappeared the people who were watching in the projection saw the state of the land. They were stunned, surprised, and shocked at the same time.
Horrifying scene was what revealed in their eyes.
Everything was destroyed and part of the land was dyed in red. The blood of Souta's opponent flooded the land. Severed hands and legs of his opponents were everywhere. Eyeballs were rolling on the bloody ground. The smell of blood filled the entire area.
The Adventurer Guild's staff who were handling the legion war was horrified by this bloody scene. They quickly went towards it and to handled this scene.
Even though Souta was gone, they still could feel the chilly atmosphere in the air. Some of the staff puked after seeing the scene. This was their first time in their life seeing such a scene which makes their stomach turned upside down.
It was different from the past legion war where they would only saw people got beaten up. The scene in front of them was entirely different from that, it feels like Souta brutally tortured his enemies until they lose their minds.
They turned their heads in the direction where Souta left.
"He's crazy..."
It was a warning. A warning to the people who didn't know their place. Souta left them a warning that he could be brutal when he needed it.
"That Souta is no joke! He's as crazy as Yanagi Shina!"
"He's the real deal!"
"Yanagi and Souta in the same faction! Everything will turn crazy!"
Someone of the people who were watching the legion war in projection said.
"Eh, father... Are you we could leave sister in that man?" A man in his early twenties asked.
"...Yeah, probably." A man with long blue hair said as he glanced at his son.
This man was Ursus Von Asvares. In short, Lumilia's father. While the other person was the heir of the Asvares family, Milan Von Asvares. He is Lumilia's older brother.
"Let's visit her sometimes," Milan said to his father.
Ursus stayed silent as he ignored Milan's words.
In the Ladro Institute...
"Just what did he do inside that barrier?" Azrim said with a sigh as he massaged his temple. He heard a lot of rumors that Souta was brutal in the ranking battle. Now that he saw this bloody scene in the projection, he finally understood why the second-year students were afraid of Souta.
"I don't know," Bargan replied to him while shaking his head. He didn't have an idea what Souta did inside the barrier that caused such a scene.
"Damn! Another crazy student is making a name outside the institute!" Jess said. He was Bargan's friend and also a teacher at Ladro Institute.
...
One day had passed and the Adventurers Guild declared that the Dark Oculus Legion won the legion war.
They demolished and defeated every member of the opponent's group. They didn't have a chance to fight back and group themselves in this war. It was a one-sided battle.
The name of Dark Oculus Legion spread throughout the whole kingdom. Some of the adventurers in the other country even received the news about the rising legion in the Hebrei Kingdom.
This battle silence all the opposition nobles. They couldn't do anything to stop the rise of Dark Oculus Legion.
Souta and his deputies name also got famous in the whole kingdom. The group of students of Ladro Institute defeated the powerful legions of the nobles.
The Dark Oculus Legion only have a few B-ranks in their legion but they managed to overwhelm their opponents who possessed more than forty B-ranks. Well, Yanagi Shina beat half of these B-ranks on her own. Even the A-rank of the count's family got beaten by her.
This battle placed their legion in the top Rank 1 Legion.
At the same time, the Ladro Institute increased its fame once again. Even the other large countries noticed this institute. After all, Souta and the rest were all from this institute so it piqued the interest of other people.
Now that the Grand Tournament will begin, a lot of people was placing their bet on the Ladro Institute more than the Royal Academy. Aside from Yanagi Shina, the other students of Ladro Institute got famous like Souta.
They even said that Souta would beat those people from other schools and academies easily just like how he beat those B-ranks in the legion war.
Souta was having a coffee in his office. He had a carefree smile on his face.
In front of him was the Guildmaster of the branch guild in this city. Francis looked at Souta and said, "Congratulations Commander Souta for winning the legion war."
"Thank you, guildmaster. I really appreciate your help." Souta smiled back at Francis.
"We're currently in the process of collecting your rewards. We will deliver it to you in the next two days." Francis said as he placed a piece of paper in front of Souta.
Souta looked at Lumilia who was standing at his side. She nodded and picked the paper. After a while, she opened her mouth and said, "Commander, everything is prepared. According to this contract, we will receive everything."
"Okay." Souta nodded at her. If she said that the contract was fine then it was fine. "Then, give the guild master the files to promote our legion."
"Understood." Lumilia nodded before she took out paper files and placed it in front of the guild master.
"I will quickly process your request. I'm sure that the main guild will approve of your request." Francis said to Souta with a smile. He didn't even check the paper files in front of him.
"Thanks. I will wait for the good news." Souta said before he took a sip of his coffee.
They talked for a few minutes before the guild master left the room. Everything went smoothly and there's no problem with the legion.
"We're rich. From the seven noble families... We shut their mouth with our strength. Now, our legion is even richer than your family, right Lumilia?" Souta said as he walked towards the window and looked outside.
"Yes, our current wealth surpassed the wealth of a normal noble family." Lumilia nodded at his words.
