Reborn as the Spirit King - Chapter 10.5

Chapter 10 – An Outbreak of Civil War (5) It’s already a burden having to deal with an expert at the highest level, yet there were 10 others that were just one level below that. It was a force that Heinze was unable to deal

with in his current state.

No, it was the same for Aus or any of the other knights.

But, even still, as Jade stepped in and said he would take care of the prince and princess, Heinze could only stare at him with wide eyes.

“I will protect you two.”

“You can’t bring the spirits here. We’re already inferior in power as it is….”

“Noes will fight on its own. That’s the good things of having a spirit.”

Boomm!

Noes, who had the shape of a rhinoceros, went on a wild rampage.

It caused an earthquake to its immediate vicinity and stirred the battlefield.

Although the summoners on the second prince’s side did their best to take control of the situation, they were unable to as their spirits weren’t on the same level as Noes.

“Then how are you planning on dealing with them?”

“With this.”

Jade smiled as he pulled out the sword that was made of the Black Drake’s tooth.

However, Heinze’s expression was filled with distrust.

Although Jade had deflected his vice-captain’s attack, he had thought it was from the use of Jade’s spirits.

Jade had never used a sword in front of anyone, so Heinze figured he only had the powers of a summoner.

“Those guys are all experts of……!”

“You don’t have to worry about me, because I don’t have any ideas of dying here today.”

Wooooonngg!

A Sword Aura burst forth from the black sword.

It wasn’t a half-backed Sword Aura, but a fully refined one and seeing this, Heinze’s eyes grew wide with surprise.

He knew Jade had trained his body to a certain extent, but he didn’t think it was possible for him to create such a stable Sword Aura.

-You can’t be surprised over this! Ahem!

-He hasn’t even shown you his true skills yet.

-That’s right!

Celestine and Elestra responded back in a condescending manner as Heinze, Lloyd and Laney were unable to hide their astonishment.

Even though the three of them couldn’t hear the spirits’ words.

Ggyoo?

Instead, Jade who had heard the two spirits’ words smiled as he placed Hwid down from his arms.

He couldn’t take Hwid out onto the rampant battlefield yet as it was still a baby.

-Take care of Hwid.

-Don’t worry! We will protect it at all costs!

“Hwid be good and stay here too.”

Gyyooo!!

Hwid nodded its head as it heard Jade’s words.

It was confident it could do better than anyone else in waiting.

“Good good.”

Jade smiled and rubbed Hwid’s head as it obediently listened to him.

However, Laney slowly walked closer to the two of them.

“We’ll be by its side.”

“Will you please?”

“Yes, since it’s still a baby.”

Laney responded back with great confidence.

However, different from her confident words, she appeared to be filled with nervousness as she wasn’t used to the environment in the battlefield.

Even still, not only was she doing her best to stay in her place, but she was also thinking of Hwid.

“I leave it to you.”

“I got it.”

It didn’t make sense that Laney would protect it when Hwid was much stronger than her, but it wasn’t bad to have her by its side for psychological support.

After speaking with Laney for a little while, Jade turned around.

Tap tap tap tap!

As Jade and Laney were talking, the 11 figures arrived at the castle walls and lightly ran up to the top of the wall.

This was easily done with the use of their mana.

Of course, the soldiers attempted to keep the unit off the walls, but a common soldier’s arrows couldn’t stop the 11 figures.

“Haaa!!”

Heinze rushed toward the figures.

He initiated the attack first as he did not want them to advance any further.

However, the figures did not panic even as Heinze approached them.

Instead, six of them quickly surrounded him and the rest spread out into the distance.

“You old man can play with us for a little while.”

“You bastards!”

It was obvious where the scattered knights were heading to.

While they kept him in place, the others were rushing towards Lloyd and Laney.

“Well, I’m sure you won’t be able to play with us for too long.”

“We already got the approval to get rid of you.”

The knights that surrounded Heinze make invidious remarks.

Although Heinze had once been known as the Sword of the Kingdom, he was nothing but an old, injured tiger now.

That’s why the knights spoke as if they had already won without noticing Heinze’s expression.

‘His reaction is weird?’

The middle-aged man that was an expert at the highest level and the head of the Special Forces furrowed his brows.

While everyone else was chatting and giggling, he was the only one to watch Heinze with a cool head.

Bang!

At that moment, he heard a deafening noise.

A huge explosion had occurred from a distance not too far from his location.

And, at the same time, everyone’s expressions stiffened.

If there was someone strong enough to make such an explosion, their plans were bound to have mishaps.

“The summoner shouldn’t be able to focus on us, right? Furthermore, his weak body shouldn’t be able to……’

The expert’s eyes grew wide.

Amidst a cloud of dust, his comrade flew out with blood all over his body.

Half his neck was cut open and was already dead, yet it wasn’t just one person that was dead.

“Ugh!”

A knight with both of his arms grotesquely bent fell off the castle walls.

He appeared to have been wounded by an overwhelming force, and seeing this, the middle-aged man was shocked.

The knight that had fallen wasn’t a normal knight, but a knight that was only one level below him.

For a knight like that to have lost in that manner made the leader stare straight into the cloud of dust.

“I don’t think you have the spare time to be looking somewhere else.”

“Ugh!”

The leader was unable to stare into the cloud of dust anymore.

Heinze was now rushing towards him with terrifying spirit.

It was hard to say that he was injured as his strength was still overwhelming. The middle-aged man clenched his teeth.

He knew it wasn’t going to be easy beating Heinze, but not to this extent.

“You may have come here as you pleased but leaving will be different, because none of you guys will be leaving here.”

“Why don’t you subdue us before saying such words!”

“Ha!”

The other five knights became alert as they felt Heinze’s terrifying spirit.

They realized they would easily lose their necks if they didn’t give it their all.

That’s why they were unable to see what had happened to the man that had rushed towards the Crown Prince and princess.
