Legendary Guardian - Volume 4 Chapter 405 405

Alfred was about to speak when the doors of the great hall were yanked open violently and a man dressed in a knight’s armor which was almost perfectly hidden with a red cloak walked in. He was over six feet tall and each and every one of his steps was heavy, making the hall tremble.

He had a thick beard just like Alfred but his black hair was slightly longer and it was tied back to form a ponytail. His gaze was fierce and terrifying and right across his left eye was a scare acquired through battle. Behind him was a slightly shorter man dressed in regular military attire, carrying a massive sheathed broadsword with great effort.

“Chloe,” Derik said with furrowed eyebrows. His memories of this man were a bit cloudy so he didn’t know exactly what to expect until now!

“Chloe!” Father Khalid said with a twisted expression on his face. His eyes showed numerous emotions but fear was the most dominant one.

As one of the three highest commanding officers in the kingdom, Chloe has taken part in so many battles between other subsidiary kingdoms, the hunting down of supernatural beasts, and even a battle against another empire. He was well known for his brutal nature and even priests of the church of light were scared to offend this man since he acts first before thinking.

He may not hesitate to kill them if he is offended.

“Lucia!” Chloe said in a deep tone as he took a few more steps forward while gazing at his little brother who was supposed to be dead.

Staring down with someone as big and intimidating as Chloe, even Derik could feel a little bit of pressure. Right now, apart from the superhuman strength, his werewolf side gives him, Derik is no different from any other human. If he wishes to activate his Lycan god mode he would need to transform and when he does that, surely the church will come for him.

He can be killed by just anyone in this world, and this bothered him greatly.

“Brother, you have returned,” Lucia said with a calm expression on his face and his hands gently placed behind him, making him look like a royal. His words and actions looked so majestic that one may even mistake him for royalty.

Hearing Lucia speak, Chloe couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. His wimpy brother who couldn’t stare at him in the face back then is actually standing in front of him, gazing into his eyes without showing any hint of fear? Even Alfred would be terrified when speaking to him

“Good! Very good!”

Boom!

Regardless of the heavy red armor, Chloe wore, his body moved so quick that almost no one noticed at first glance as he threw a vicious punch at Lucia, whose hands were still placed behind him. While others may be shocked, Derik remained calm, he had practically seen through all of this, and while others may consider Chloe’s speed as amazing, to Derik it was only average at best. His movements looked slow but in reality, it was very fast! Choosing not to dodge, Derik reached out for the incoming fist with an open palm.

Bam!

“Aaaah!” Alicia screamed in terror

Lucia was seen sliding a few meters back after meeting the punch head-on. Derik’s hand felt numb and he was sure something was broking but he didn’t bother since his Lycan god’s healing technique is way too fast and efficient. He gazed at his wrist and frowned since he wasn’t satisfied with the result. Derik chose not to evade the punch, not because he couldn’t but because he wanted to test his strength against someone who is considered strong in this world, to know his current level. And after the brief exchange, Derik was extremely displeased with the result. According to Lucia’s memories, Chloe was considered unique and extraordinary but even then, he is not necessarily the strongest, there are more people even stronger than him. And if he could barely defend against Chloe, what will happen when he goes up against the others?

This realization annoyed Derik greatly and after considering all his options, he came to a conclusion that when going up against such people he can only transform into his Lycan form if he chooses to win. The only bright side about all of this is that he is yet to see any one person who will be facing him head-on when using this power. Even amongst the old gods and the new gods, they have all lost their powers just like him and they don’t possess such an ability like this, so even if he should encounter an old god in this world, he will definitely dominate the battle since the other will only slightly stronger than the average human while he still possesses his werewolf form.

While Derik remained unmoving, diving deeper into his chain of thoughts, everyone else was shocked out of their minds. The once weak and fragile Lucia not only fearlessly faced the priest of the church of light but he also had the guts to stare at Chloe in the face and not flinch and now he actually caught Chloe’s attack and still remained standing.

He didn’t even seem hurt!

“This family has produced another monster! Once Lucia joins the military and gains more military merit, their status will rise even more if he and Chloe keep performing so well, they may even be invited by the empire to the capital this small kingdom will mean nothing to them anymore!” Khalid sighed with hints of fear in his eyes.

As for Alfred, he could barely hide his excitement as he watched his two sons stare down at each other. Lucia had only recovered a week ago and miraculously he got fit thanks to his regular exercises(At least thats what they thought). He knew Lucia was fit to join the miliatry and do quite well but he never for once thought Lucia would be strong enough to face his brother head on!
