The Lord Is Too Overbearing

Chapter 213 How It Feels To Be The Loser (End)



A few minutes before Basil's encounter with Eugene's team and the Paladins.

Basil was thinking about the progress of his plan, while running running toward the place that would lead him to the place where he could finally execute his plan. He had put anyone who could hamper his plan aside, so he was now ready to execute Eugene.

The place Basil was heading to was nothing but an empty, hidden plain. What made it special was only the fact that there was a Magic Circle for [Teleportation] carved on the ground that could teleport him to the place where he could execute Eugene.

He had prepared it way before he had met Eugene, but in truth, he didn't prepare it for Eugene. He had actually prepared the place for 'Just in case' situations, but since he had met Eugene sooner than he had expected, it conveniently changed function.

The place where he would execute Eugene was originally an underground bunker that was made by the first Baron Raneil. It was an abandoned bunker, and any record regarding it couldn't be found anywhere.

If not for the fact that Basil came from the "future," he, like any other people, wouldn't also know anything about this underground. Even in his past life, he had only known about this bunker at the end of the first Outbreak.

Demons were hiding in every underground places in Fortescher County by the time the Obelisk of Goap was conquered, and the bunker was also one of the Demons' hiding place. Only after this bunker was found did the history behind it was known.

Baron Kreiss Raneil, who in Basil's past life managed to stay alive, confessed that the bunker was originally used to smuggle slaves of other races. According to him, his grandfather had also used the bunker to torture the young girls he had kidnapped and violated.

Although it had been proven that Baron Kreiss Raneil hadn't been involved in the sickening act, everyone still condemned him, resulting in him leaving his territory behind a couple of years later as he couldn't bear the condemnation he received any longer.

Of course, Baron Raneil Kreiss leaving his territory behind was nothing more than a story made by the people of Raneil Barony.

In truth, he was killed by a young man, who had found out that said Baron had also been involved in the sickening act his grandfather had committed.

"Hmph! How naive." Basil couldn't help scoffing upon recalling the impulsive deed he had done in his past life. "I was lucky the people of Raneil Barony had a deep grudge against Kreiss. If not, I would have ended up rotting in jail."

He still cringed whenever he remembered about the event even up till now, but the fact that he was the young man who had killed Baron Kreiss Raneil in his past life would never change.

He wasn't that powerful at that time, but he already had enough power to kill a mere incompetent Baron.

After a couple of minutes, Basil finally arrived at the place where he had carved the Magic Circle that would teleport him to said bunker. There was actually a proper entrance to the bunker, but he intentionally didn't use it for the sake of confidentiality.

Looking at the Magic Circle Carving on the ground silently, he waited for it to light up. That was the only thing that indicated the other party had entered the bunker.

"Unless they are extremely smart, which is very unlikely, they wouldn't realize that a Magic Circle Carving can be easily triggered by Mana." Basil lightly sneered. "They don't even know Carving a Magic Circle outside their heart is possible."

While admiring the Magic Circle Carving that was specialized for [Teleportation] Spell on the ground, he thought about what Iliana was currently possibly doing with the bunch of civilians that had been heavily bathed with the smell of Silencer's blood.

The reason why the Low Class Demons were rabidly chasing for them was the scent of Silencer on them. Unlike Silencers, who weren't interested in their own kin's smell, the Low Class Demons were heavily attracted to it.

'She must have realized it by now that I did it when I covered them with the mist.' The Magic Circle Carving on the ground lit up, and Basil immediately poured his Mana into it. 'I will ask for her forgiveness when I meet her.'

Light enveloped his entire existence, and he reappeared in the bunker in the next moment. Ignoring the Demons surrounding him, he gazed at the bewildered group in front of him with a sneer.

...

Present.

Basil looked down at Kuzo, who was kneeling respectfully in front of him. Kuzo was the independent Assassin he had hired to leak some information about Catherine to Nicholas.

He had only taken Kuzo under his wing, after said Assassin expressed how much he wanted to be guided by him in the way of Assassin. Basil naturally didn't immediately take him under his wing; he only did that after said Assassin showed his resolve by agreeing to establish a [Slave Contract] with him.

"Raise your head, Kuzo." When Kuzo raised his head, Basil added, "You can drop your disguise."

"As you wish, Master." Kuzo wiped his face, and the middle aged man look was replaced with a manly face of a man in his mid twenties. Looking at Basil with a stern look, he asked, "Your next order, Master?"

Basil briefly gazed at the other three students with Eugene, then turned to Kuzo. "You are already a Peak Stage Yellow Core Knight, aren't you?"

"Yes, Master."

"Let's see how well you can fare against those three."

"As you wish, Master."

Kuzo was well aware that the current him couldn't possibly defeat three Fourth Circle Mages at once—students or not—but he didn't blink even once at Basil's order.

He knew Basil must have a reason for telling him to do so. He stood himself up, and positioned himself slightly behind Basil; he was aware he shouldn't be the one who started the battle.

"Basil Pacifer!"

"What is it, coward?" Basil stared at Eugene with a sneer.

"Someone who has done such a dirty thing as trapping his opponent has no right to say that!"

"What are you talking about? I am just returning the favor."

Eugene was visibly confused, apparent by the way he furrowed his eyebrows. "What are you talking about?"

"It matters not, Eugene. Not all men deserve to know why he must die."

Whoosh!

Seeing that Basil was ready to charge at Eugene from the ferocious way he swung his sword, Caleb stepped forward. "Basil Pacifer! You are now committing an unforgivable sin, and a serious offense against the Church by targeting a Seminarian's life!"

"What do you want to say?"

p "Hand yourself over, and mercy may be given to you!"

"Hoh? Maybe, huh?" Basil quirked his eyebrow, and scoffed at Caleb. "I wonder in what form the mercy is given to me."

"You will live! I, Caleb, will guarantee your life!"

Judging by his tone alone, Basil knew Caleb was being genuine. Even so, Basil wasn't touched by the gesture in the least bit. "Even after knowing that I am the son of Maya Pacifer, the Maha Dmitra, who the Church has personally taken care of?"

"Maya Pacifer...!" Caleb and the other Paladins stepped back in utter shock upon hearing the mention of the name. Although they weren't involved in the extremely confidential event, all of them knew who Maya Pacifer was. "Y-You are the son of a heretic!"

Basil sneered, and looked at the Paladins coldly. "You can never forgive me as much as I can't forgive you. Also, I don't like my secret to be known, so all of you must die." Turning his gaze to the Demons surrounding him, he motioned them to move.

—The Paladins are all yours.

Upon hearing Basil had just spoken in Lesser Tongue, the Demon language, the Mages and the Paladins widened their eyes in absolute disbelief.

The Paladins immediately charged toward Basil afterwards, while shouting Demon Advocate at him. Unfortunately for them, the Demons surrounding them stood in their way.

—Kuhahaha! Human, we are glad to kill those pests, but you have to fulfill your promise.

A 3 meters tall Orc Warrior stepped forward, and flashed its long and sharp fang at Basil. Looking at him mischievously, it fiddled with the gigantic axe in its hand.

—Do you think you fulfilled your promise?

—Yes.

—Where are the people above, then?

Basil looked at the Orc Warrior coldly, and said Demon could only scratch its head awkwardly. According to their agreement, the Demons shouldn't eat a single human of the village above the bunker before entering it, but they still had done it.

—We are ashamed to break the agreement, but we still fulfilled our promise to enter the village!

—Thanks to the trap I set, that is.

Bam!

The Orc Warrior slammed its gigantic axe to the ground, then stared at Basil ferociously. It tried to overwhelm Basil with the pressure of its Demonic Mana, but immediately gave up when it noticed said person didn't even blink his eyes at the display.

—Anyway. Just don't forget your promise, human! You have to let us go after this!

The Orc Warrior turned its back on Basil, then charged toward the Paladins. It then savagely roared at the group of Paladins to pump the spirit of the Demons under its wing up.

Looking at how the Orc Warrior had treated his Master, though he didn't understand what it had said, Kuzo wasn't in the least bit amused. "Master, let me take care of that obnoxious Monster by myself."

"Kuzo," Basil glanced at Kuzo from the corner of his eyes, "don't you still have a thing to do? The students are yours."

At Basil's cold tone, Kuzo immediately nodded his head. "As you command, Master!"

Basil ignored Kuzo, who was charging at the three students, and gazed at Eugene with a mirthful gaze. "I, too, am not amused by the way that Low Class Demon has talked to me, but my mind is too occupied with the thoughts of how I should end that thing."

Channeling Mana to his feet, Basil burst it, and dashed toward Eugene, who was already separated from the Paladins. The ground he had kicked was blown away, and a manic grin unconsciously adorned his face.

Looking at the incoming Basil, Eugene's pupils dilated in horror. Luckily, regardless of his fear, his strong will to live allow his body to move, as he managed to block Basil's sword with his Defense Spell.

Boom!

By the time Basil's sword touched the barrier that was protecting him however, Eugene was immediately assaulted with the same feeling he had felt on the day he had challenged Basil.

'I—I am going to die!'

He, once again, was reminded of how it feels to be the loser.
