The Lord Is Too Overbearing

Splatter!

As Lucilla's blood painted the ground in blue, she looked at Basil with widened eyes. She had been injured for the first time ever since getting out of the Obelisk, and it was hard for her to believe it.

Paying no sympathy to Lucilla's confusion ridden face, Basil swung Caliburn at her neck. A Barrier immediately appeared in front of her, unfortunately, so he ended up striking it.

Crack!

Since the Barrier wasn't strong enough to handle his swing, it immediately broke the moment Caliburn hit it. Caliburn still didn't manage to hit Lucilla despite so; the Energy explosion threw her away.

Thud. Thud.

Rolling on the ground helplessly, Lucilla clutched her opened abdomen in bewilderment. She had never expected to get injured this soon—it was somehow hard for her to cope with the reality.

She knew, however, she needed to live—she couldn't remain idle. Immediately standing up, still with disbelief filling her eyes, she immediately dropped to the ground when her organs almost spilled out of her opened abdomen.

Cringing at the pain she had thought she had gotten used to, Lucilla cursed when she found her regeneration speed was reduced greatly. She could still fight, however she wasn't sure if she could fight properly.

Boom!

Still, despite the odds, she needed to stand her ground. Basil didn't have any intention to let her relax even for a second, so she needed to fight using another way that didn't involve much of body movements.

Whoosh!

Basil sent a Qi Blade that was imbued with True Light Magic at Lucilla. It managed to graze her right upper arm, since her injured abdomen made it hard for her to dodge on time.

"This human bastard!" Cursing loudly, Lucilla cast another Curse. "Scratch your skin in agony: [Blood Boil]!"

Miasma immediately covered her right arm—the arm she wasn't using to clutch her abdomen. As the Miasma condensed into a thin needle, she threw it to Basil so the Curse could do its work.

What the Curse would do to Basil was, as its name suggested, manipulating the Mana in his stream to heat up his blood to the point of boiling it. The Curse would then cause his body to explode as the blood inside his body evaporated.

Lucilla genuinely hoped for the Curse to hit Basil; she really wanted to see Basil peel his skin off by scratching it as he couldn't bear the heat his own body produced. Unfortunately for her, a swing of Caliburn was enough to neutralize her Curse.

"If you really want to hit me, you should try not shouting your Curse out loud." Basil scoffed lightly.

Lucilla didn't want to let Basil's provocation rile her up, but she couldn't hold herself in the end.

"Fuck you and your mouth, accursed human!"

How could she not explode? Basil, after all, had suggested something which she could definitely not do. Casting a Curse without saying it out loud? She needed to be as spiteful—as loud as she could to produce a strong Curse.

It was one of the conditions to produce cast a Curse—not doing so was the same as handicapping herself. Sure, she might be able to catch Basil off guard that way, but it would mean nothing if it still did nothing to Basil.

Looking at Lucilla's frustrated face, Basil smirked and said, "You want to cry? I am sorry, but I won't comfort you. Ah, don't worry though—I will send you to Cabalen, so he will be able to comfort you."

"... I will definitely make you regret ever saying that to me," Lucilla said through gritted teeth.

Basil scoffed lightly at Lucilla's words as he wondered how a Great General could be that clueless about her situation. Ignoring the fact afterwards, he charged at her with Lightning Magic surrounding him.

[Thunderclap]!

Boom!

Basil had just used a Motion Spell, which had been Eugene's favourite. It gave him the ability to move as fast as a lightning, but left a very loud sound after its execution, which could risk exposing his position to his enemy.

In normal situations, he would never use this incomplete Spell, however given Lucilla's current confused state, he used it to even further confuse her.

Since the Spell left a very loud sound after execution, Basil used that sound to fool Lucilla. He was using it to make her come up with a completely missed prediction of where he would show up next.

Using wind Magic to control where the sound should reverberate, he managed to mislead her into thinking that he would reappear in the opposite direction where he had let the sound reverberate.

"Where did he—kuagh!"

Lucilla, who had been completely tricked by Basil, could only glance at the direction she had mistakenly thought as the direction where Basil would reappear, when she received a solid kick to her solar plexus.

She luckily had already some of the layers of her abdominal wall healed, so the kick didn't manage to spill her organs out. Still, it was hard enough to cause an internal bleeding.

Basil immediately twisted himself in the air to cut Lucilla's neck with Caliburn, but at the exact moment, she teleported away.

Slash!

Caliburn ended up carving a wide trench on the ground. It was unfortunate, but Basil still smirked due to Lucilla's quick action.

Upon regaining his footing—the moment he turned to look at Lucilla that was already a hundred meters away from him, he could see two notable scenes. First, Lucilla kneeling on the ground in pain, and second, 9 Minotaur Warriors coming at him.

Slightly quirking his eyebrow as he wondered why the pink-haired Demon didn't do what she had done to the Minotaur Warriors—teleporting them there—since the start, Basil swung Caliburn horizontally.

A Qi Blade that was imbued with True Light Magic was sent at the Minotaurs, and it easily bisected them.

Immediately dashing at Lucilla, who was still kneeling on the ground in pain, he sent another Qi Blade at the 9 Minotaur Warriors he had bisected earlier to cut their neck the moment he jumped over their bodies.

"Your sword... That's why you can hurt me."

When he was 3 meters away from Lucilla, Basil found that she had figured out the major contributor of his power. It was a little bit late for her to figure that out, so he faintly laughed at that.

Lucilla's face contorted, but immediately turned calm when Caliburn was just a few centimeters away from it. The moment Basil was about to cut her head in half, her face was replaced with a random Knight's.

Not only her face that changed, but also everything about her. Basil could immediately deduce she had replaced herself with a random soldier of the human army using [Teleportation].

Alas, he couldn't stop Caliburn's advance, so with eyes widened in bewilderment, the Knight whose name Basil didn't even know lost his head.

Basil didn't even tremble in guilt at what he had done, however he still clicked his tongue bitterly as Lucilla had managed to trick him.

"Now you feel what I felt. Do you like it?" Upon turning his head to the left, Basil found Lucilla smirking at him from 50 meters away.

"I am not sure if you felt this, but I am pleasantly surprised you can pull the same trick I have done to you," Basil replied with a faint smirk.

"Tsk. You can stop acting high—"

Whoosh!

Lucilla was interrupted mid-sentence as Basil suddenly appeared right in front of her. He almost cut her neck off, but she luckily managed to teleport herself away before Caliburn touched her neck.

"Damn you, human!" Despite so however, her close to healing scorched neck was scorched once again by Caliburn's True Light Magic. "Gah! I will definitely make a furniture out of your head!"

"That is a rather strong word for a helpless rat."

"Watch your mouth!"

Waving her hand widely, Lucilla teleported thousands of bewildered Low Class Demons in front of Basil. They immediately understood the situation however, so all of them didn't think twice to charge at him.

Seeing that, Basil took out all of the bladed weapons he had in his Spatial Ring and sent them to cut all of the incoming Demons with [Master of Weapons].

Ignoring the Low Class Demons afterwards, he dashed at Lucilla. When he reached in front of her however, he was immediately blocked by a 10 meters tall Minotaur Warrior.

He could easily cut it in half, allowing him to see Lucilla, who was standing behind it, however he knew it wasn't the real Lucilla the moment he saw her.

Immediately turning his body around, Basil dashed towards his right. There, he saw Lucilla widening her eyes disbelief as she saw him coming at her.

He slightly scoffed as he mused about how stupid the pink haired Demon was to think that the same trick would work on him twice.

He soon widened his eyes in surprise however, when he stepped on the Magic Circle Lucilla had sneakily Carved on the ground a few meters in front of her.

A bright blue light enveloped Basil, and he was soon greeted by the bewildered face of Iliana.

"Basil? What are you doing here? You have almost make me cut you in half!"

"Head Commander Basil?!"

"Head Commander! It's glad to see you here, but why the sudden visit?"

Iliana wasn't the only one greeting him—there were also the Legion Commanders fighting beside her.

Quirking his eyebrow in wonder as he thought about why the pink-haired Demon had teleported him to the rear, Basil glanced at the place where he had fought Lucilla ... He could immediately see her flying away from the battlefield.

He assumed she was going to Randalvine to join her fellow Great General, but despite the possibility, he was completely calm about it.

"Iliana."

"Move out of my way if you want to talk to me, boy."

Shrugging lightly at Iliana's warning, Basil continued, "Is this why you didn't use [Teleportation] since the very beginning—to prepare for this scenario?"

"Are you high?" Iliana quirked her eyebrow. "Quit daydreaming—we are in the middle of a battle!"

Shaking his head calmly, Basil lightly waved Caliburn before jumping at Iliana. Swinging Caliburn at her neck, he cut it in one swift motion.

The Legion Commanders surrounding him immediately shouted at him in bewilderment and absolute shock the moment Iliana's head fell to the ground, but Basil's facial expression remained tranquil.

Even as the Legion Commanders asking him what he had done, he still looked at the eyes full of disbelief sitting in the eye socket of Iliana's cut head calmly.

"You know, sparing the loved ones who have crossed path with them is the act of people who think they are honourable. I don't think myself is honourable, nor do I believe anyone will think that I am."

Silence greeted him after he said that to Iliana's cut head, but after 10 seconds, he could finally see a scowl forming on her face.

The face then slowly changed to Lucilla's face at the same moment his surrounding faded away, and he soon found himself grabbing said Demon's throat.
