The Lord Is Too Overbearing

Chapter 291 Wrapping Up (2)

Looking at the headless corpse of Lucilla, Basil could only scoff in amusement. He was amused at how Lucilla's life had ended.

In his past life, Lucilla had only died after she had demolished Woster County. She even had had the time to decorate half of the County with countless of humans skewered by a pointy pole from their bottom to their mouth.

It had been a haunting experience for the people who had seen it, and it had remained as one of the unforgettable tragedies that had ever happened in Woster County.

If it hadn't been for Ansley's quick initiative in the past, there would have been more of Woster County's citizens died. It still reduced the population to a third of the original population, but many of them were thankful for Ansley regardless.

In his second life, Basil was sure there were not that many civilians had fallen during this Outbreak. Everyone was indeed caught off guard by the Outbreak, but he could confidently say they did better than in his past life.

With that being said, one should have already understood why Basil found the situation amusing. Just because of his return, after all, Lucilla whose name should have become the most fear inducing name, had ended like a side character.

Fate is a funny thing—a slight ripple can cause everything to change. Basil's return didn't only cause Lucilla to die earlier, but also had caused the evacuation of Woster County's citizens went without a hitch.

In his past life, the caravans of the evacuating citizens had faced some difficulty in the way. Many of them had ended up getting caught up in the battle despite their effort to stay away from the battlefield.

It didn't happen this time, and Basil could only attribute it to his return. He, for sure, unlike Lucilla's early death, didn't involve himself in the people's smooth travel, but it still happened due to the butterfly effect.

That is how absurd butterfly effect is, and that made him more careful in his action. Changing too many things in the present might end up completely changing the future—he didn't want that to happen.

Once everything became unpredictable, after all, his return to the past would be meaningless.

"She sure really hated losing." Basil lightly smiled as he slowly turned his body to the back. "Look at all of these creatures—driven by their instinct, none of them has enough intelligence to know when to stop."

Basil looked at the Low and Middle Class Demons coming his way ... Trying to come his way. The bladed weapons he was controlling with his Aura Ability had been preventing them to do so, and it was slightly painful looking at their futile attempt.

Basil and Lucilla had been actually fighting quite far away from the others—no small fries should have been around them. The Demons had all been teleported there by Lucilla with all of the Mana she had left in her body before she died.

He didn't actually get what was the point of doing that since it was apparent none of the Demons could pass through his weapons. He was sure Lucilla had understood this, and he assumed she still did that as her way to say she died with a fight.

"Tsk. It is too bad that I wasn't the one who killed her, but as long as she died, who cares?" Basil lightly shrugged, his Pacifer Seal had long gone. "I have to to go to Raneil Barony as soon as I can, so I need to wrap things up as quick as I can."

Dashing at the horde of Demons trying futilely fighting their way through the barrage of attack of his weapons, Basil swung Caliburn horizontally.

A Qi Blade that was imbued with True Light Magic was sent at the Demons, turning a quarter of them to ashes in the next moment.

The other Demons were immediately alerted of Basil's presence, but the moment they turned their head to Basil, they immediately froze like a statue.

Basil was entirely covered in True Light Magic, and the pressure overwhelmed them greatly. None of them could move properly due to that, so Basil wiped them off as easy as sweeping the dust off the floor.

Aided by his other bladed weapons, all of the Demons could only helplessly be murdered.

This was the reason why Lucilla didn't fight Basil close to her soldiers that were fighting the human army, even though she could do more damage to the human army that way.

She knew her soldiers wouldn't be able to withstand Basil's pressure, and would only result in them getting helplessly murdered by Basil—just like now.

Other than that, it was also to prevent her soldiers from seeing her pathetic state, in case she was defeated, which, unfortunately for her, had really happened.

She had actually been killed by Goap, but that was still a defeat nonetheless.

...

On the other side of the battlefield, 5 kilometers away from the spot where Basil was fighting the Demons Lucilla had teleported before her end, Iliana was killing every Demon that her eyes could see while mounting on Deacon.

They really made a great combination, and it made them stand out enough to be the center of attention. They fought violently but effectively, and it actually repelled both sides.

The way Iliana thrust and swung her spear as if she was dancing and Deacon's way of shooting extremely condensed Wind Spheres here and there were as fascinating as they were terror inducing.

They didn't look like they actually differentiated between enemies and allies, and thus for safety reasons, many of the soldiers stayed away from them ... Just like the Demons.

"Hm? They can do just well without me commanding them." Iliana smirked as she looked at the Legion she supposedly had to command. "They listen to my instruction well—I don't think my presence is actually needed."

According to Basil's order, Iliana actually had to spend her time commanding her Legion while casting Spells to support the Knights like the other Mages in the army. She definitely didn't like this, unsurprisingly, so she left the rank and joined the Knights.

Being young, in spite of possessing such a power already, made many people doubt her. It had been the case when the Mage Legion Commanders had seen her left the rank—they were absolutely bewildered.

Even none of the older Battles Mages dare to get out of the rank, so seeing Iliana recklessly left the rank had really made their heart skip a beat—not in a good sense.

It wasn't only until they saw Iliana fight better than some of the Knight Vice Commanders did they stop urging her to return to the rank. Worry turned into astonishment, and astonishment turned into bewilderment.

Just how in the hell could she even do that?

That question filled their head as they saw Iliana kill the Demons as easy as breathing. It seemed to them Iliana had just returned to her natural habitat.

They soon got over their bewilderment however, so now, although they were still amazed by Iliana's prowess, they didn't gape at her anymore ... They did become afraid of her due to her way of fighting though.

"Deacon, is it me or you can't also sense that sickening presence anymore?"

"I was about to ask you the same question, Mom."

Being called Mom by Deacon didn't fluster Iliana in the slightest. She was the one who had asked him to call her that way after all, so unlike Deacon, who slightly cringed whenever he called her Mom, she didn't even blink her eyes.

Her reason for asking Deacon was actually heartfelt. She had pitied Deacon whose wish to call Basil Father had been rejected, so she had offered Deacon to call her Mom instead.

Deacon actually still preferred calling her Big Sister, but since Iliana had asked him so seriously, he immediately took up on the offer. He didn't want to risk angering her at that time—he was afraid of getting beaten up.

"Does this mean Basil has defeated that High Grade Monster?" Iliana mused. "This soon? It's still less than half an hour."

"I will say that is highly probable, Mom. I mean, it's Master we are talking about!" Deacon exclaimed excitedly. "He probably didn't even lift his finger to defeat that filthy woman."

"Although I admit Basil is exceptionally strong, he is not that strong yet." Iliana shook her head faintly. "Have you seen his fight with the first guy? He really had a hard time against that guy."

"Did you watch the entire fight though, Mom? I did, and I can say for sure Master had that guy dancing in the palm of his hand since the very beginning."

"Is that the reason why I couldn't find you anywhere? You were busy watching the entire fight?"

"... I think it is time to check ourselves whether Master has killed that filthy woman."

Iliana lightly snorted in amusement as she found out that the reason she couldn't ask for Deacon's help at that time. She had thought he had been busy fighting somewhere else, so she was slightly dumbfounded upon finding the truth.

Shaking her head not long after, she turned to the direction that Deacon was looking at. It was the direction where Basil was fighting Lucilla.

Upon closer inspection, they found Basil no longer fighting the pink-haired Demon. He was fighting a bunch of Low Class Demons, which made them wonder if Lucilla had escaped somewhere since they couldn't see her or her body anywhere.

Both of them were about to look around, when they felt the ground rumbled. Immediately turning their head to source of the commotion, they found slightly more than a hundred Minotaur Warriors coming their way.

"They have been observing the battlefield for the past half an hour, haven't they?" Iliana quirked her eyebrow. "Why are they only moving now?"

The 10 meters tall Minotaur Warriors that Lucilla had teleported there from Randalvine were intimidating the Knights. Even though they had their Legion Commanders with them, the Demons' not so little amount still made them nervous.

"They are probably riled up."

"Basil?"

"Head Commander Basil!"

"Sir Head Commander!"

At Basil's sudden appearance however, the overwhelming pressure the Minotaur Warriors were exuding was suppressed drastically. He was surrounded by Spirit's True Light Magic, and it calmed the people down.

"Look at their vengeful face." Basil smirked. "They probably couldn't believe their General has died."

As the people's eyes around him widened at his revelation, Basil further bewildered them by throwing Lucilla's headless body like a trash to the front.

That action further riled the Minotaur Warriors up, and it made them wonder whether Lucilla's defeat was a good news or a bad news.
