Summoned and Unwanted

329 Domination Aura

Vincent turned his gaze at the two thugs remaining on their feet with a trembling sword held in their hands. Cold sweat covered their face, and their will to continue declined as the seconds passed by. Their previous ego of being strong was nowhere to be seen now.

[I suggest against using the new skill. A few people had already fainted. Plus, the skill might worsen the situation.]

[I also worry Iris might be affected by the skill even though she has some resistance to your intent from the retainer bond.]

-I... I understand.-

“What are you?... how can I, a D Ranker, feel like this?” One of the thugs said in a wavering voice. He looked at Vincent with disbelief painted on his face.

“Your intent is oppressive... how can a veteran like me feel fear?...” The other thug said. He couldn’t believe how Vincent, the man who appeared to be far weaker than them, could suddenly change to feel like a demonic beast.

“Kneel and apologize for ruining our date. My girl was hurt both emotionally and physically. ” Vincent said with a dominating hoarse voice. “Surrender or fall like the others.” He added with a soul-piercing glare.

The two thugs comprehended that the situation turned against them when Vincent’s murderous and intimidating aura overwhelmed theirs. The pressure felt devouring, and it made them angry at their past selves for not attacking Vincent immediately.

The thugs couldn’t find a way out as their strength was insufficient, and their willpower could not bear the pressure of dread.

.....

The two thugs let go of their swords, fell on their knees, prostrate in front of Vincent and Iris while begging for forgiveness. Even if it wasn’t sincere, surviving another day was all that mattered for them.

Vincent let go of the swords and moved Iris behind him. The pressure of dread around Vincent began to wane, yet his glare remained locked at the two thugs begging for mercy.

“Vincent?” A man asked.

“Wickedness lies in front of I.” A woman said.

Vincent turned his gaze and saw two familiar faces. Beatrix and Ollie appeared. Additionally, three soldiers with a griffin emblem on their armor were behind the siblings.

[Guild receptionist Betrix, Biro’s student Ollie, and three soldiers sponsored by a family that is friends with Lilith’s parents. Finally, people we know arrived to help.]

*Sigh* Vincent puffed a could of steam and relaxed his nerves. Overheat deactivated, and he shortly returned to normal.

“Vincent my friend, did you cause all this?” Ollie asked. He looked more curious and amazed rather than asking why he hurt innocent bystanders.

Vincent pointed at the fainted bloated slave trader and explained, “That slave trader and his three thugs wanted me to sell them, my woman. They drew their blades, and I had no choice but to defend myself. The people on the ground remained looking without trying to help just because the slave trader has a connection with the Blackheart family.”

One of the soldiers recognized Vincent after thinking where he had seen green eyes lately. “Sir Vincent. We will take care of this scum. I hope your day will be a pleasant one.”

The other soldier glared at the bloated man fiercely after hearing about his connections with the Blackheart family. “Sir Ollie, we are busy and can’t escort you to the Academy. Could you please go by yourself? We apologize for the inconvenience sir Ollie and Duke Biro Hawkins might suffer.”

“I know the directions since I already visited a few times. You guys can do your jobs without worry. ” Ollie said. Then he looked at his sister and ordered, “Heroine Beatrix, could you ask some adventurers and soldiers to help the bystanders?”
“This heroine obeys honorable brother. The wickedness is no more. This heroine can help the innocent now.” Beatrix turned around, patted her snake, and left.

“I will bring some soldiers to help as well just in case treatment is needed.” One of the three soldiers said while confiscating the swords and arresting the thugs.

Ollie looked at Vincent next. “Looks like someone doesn’t know how to hold back. Your Domination Aura afflicted at least a dozen innocent bystanders, and by the looks of it, the range rivals even mine.”

Ollie went in front of Vincent and patted his shoulder. “You are worthy to be my sparring partner. It seems your training regimen has made you stronger. I feel jealous and left out, haha.”

“What is this Domination Aura thing? Kass told me there are only Murderous and Intimidation Aura. ” Vincent asked, and Kazumi attentively waited to learn what it is.

“My friend! You... you don’t even know, and you still used it?” Ollie smiled and kept patting Vincent’s shoulder. “My, my, haha. No wonder Duke Biro Hawkins has his eyes on you even if becoming a Paladen is impossible.”

Ollie stopped and became serious all of a sudden. “I am sorry my friend has encountered so much danger in the few days since we last sparred that the soul and willpower became experienced in life and death situations.”

Ollie saw Iris peeking from behind Vincent’s back. “Haha. Life-threatening days indeed. You got yourself a new pretty one. I bet the other two almost kill you then, haha.” Ollie misperceived Vincent’s sufferings and experience to be because of a dangerously bad breakup.

“Ester and Lupa are still my women. Furthermore, yes, I fought for my life a couple of times and saw things that changed me.” Vincent answered. “So, Ollie, what is domination aura exactly?”

“Oh...” Ollie opened his eyes wide in surprise. “Ahem.” He cleared his throat and looked at Iris. “Nice to meet you. I didn’t think my friend could have so many beauties around him.”

[Looks like someone is jealous of you, hehe.]

Iris blushed. After hearing Ollie talk to Vincent casually, calling him friend multiple times, and calling her a beauty, Iris responded in a low voice, “Thank you.”

“Do not be shy around me. I do not hate goblins. Or do I look intimidating?” The tall buffed Ollie said.

*Cough* “It looks like I will never know about...”

“Fine, fine, my friend. Do not leave so soon. Let me explain domination aura.” Ollie interrupted Vincent from leaving.

[Finaly. I would have slapped Ollie to help him focus on the main subject. Curiosity is slowly killing this cute curvy soul.]

“Domination aura is simple yet difficult to learn. Combine both bloodlust and intimidation at the same time. Bloodlust forces the opponent to feel fear while intimidation forces the opponent to feel as if they are no match for you.”

Ollie looked at the soldiers helping the fainted people and continued.

“What if one can experience so many situations and manage to use both intents of fear and submission at once? That is what we call domination intent. The third hidden intent that can influence the mana to attack the willpower of their opponent.”

“Normally, any kind of intent can be acquired through experience and luck. Some say domination intent can not only affect the body and mind, but it can also affect the soul.” Ollie patted his chest and proudly stated, “But have no fear. I, too, recently learned domination aura. We can spar without reservations next time.”

Vincent focused his gaze and decided to check Ollie’s stats.

‘Ollie is strong, and it’s no wonder he was holding back when we spared together. But I became stronger than him now.’ Vincent thought after reading from the status window.

*Gulp* “Do many people know how to use domination aura?” Vincent asked for himself and the curious Kazumi.

“A few C Rankers like me and Most B Rankers and above. Then on the military side are many veteran captains and a select few vice-captains. Furthermore, I guess only royal guards since” Ollie looked around to check the coast is clear and continued in a low voice. *cough* ” mostly back door” *cough* “royal soldiers serve.”

“Thank you, Ollie. So in summary, domination intent shakes the soul of a person which is the core of their being...”

[What about animals with cores?]

Vincent felt intrigued after Kazumi interrupted him. “What about magic and demonic beasts? Do they also get affected as well?”

Ollie raised his hand and rubbed his chin. “It should work, but the same principles apply. In the end, a mindless beast needs fear to back down.” Ollie was not too sure.

[It might not work, but you gained the skill [Submit], so it should be fine.]

A group of soldiers and Beatrix, with two women holding a staff, arrived.

“I was sparing with the soldiers before they escorted me to the Academy and wait for my teacher, Duke Biro Hawkins. My sister and I felt your intent. It was a surprise to see you become so strong.” Ollie turned around and waved. “I hope I can see you in the Academy, my friend. I heard you are about to become a minor noble. Congratulations.”



“It will be on the twenty-fourth. Bring your family and cousin’s family to the Lionheart mansion. Duke Biro Hawkins will surely be invited. You can ask him about the details.” Vincent also turned around and waved.

The two men went in opposite directions. Vincent stored the shield, held Iris’s hand, and left for the mansion. Ollie helped the soldiers and his sister before heading to the Academy.
