Chapter 142: That’s Our Master
Then again came Luke’s loud voice, but the words stunned each of them.
"*The Hidden Hand* assassination organization got so bold, that now you are even attacking me openly, after your previous failure attempt!"
’What!!!’
Hearing this, everyone’s face completely changed, and each of them turned to look toward the five golden knights, whose faces had become pale.
Because Luke had concentrated all the force of gravity on them, which was why the four golden knights couldn’t even stand up, while the mid-golden knight, even though standing, his eyes became completely wide after hearing Luke’s claims.
Upon this, they confirmed what Luke was telling was the truth, which baffled everyone.
Because attacking the Hero, who had the Holy Church backing, even though the hero was talentless, it was still insane.
As the entire assassination organization could face annihilation.
And that was even more true now.
Because Luke was never talentless.
If anything...
It all seemed to be part of a conspiracy orchestrated by the Holy Church itself.
That was also the reason Soren’s face turned completely pale.
Now, their entire organization would have to face the Holy Knights.
’We’re really f**ked this time.’ And that single thought kept repeating in his mind.
Luke saw everyone’s reaction and inside smiled with satisfaction.
Because, The Hidden Hand organization kept sending assassins one by one after him, and each time they were also becoming stronger.
Sadly he was not strong enough now and couldn’t deal with the organization himself, so he used the help of his title, by openly mentioning their name.
Meaning, even if the Holy Church didn’t attack them, this alone would be enough to fill them with fear.
Though Luke didn’t know, because of this action, the whole organization would be going to be annihilated.
So after a few moments later, he added something more, which would give his actions even more credibility.
"And the Ashenford Family will also bear my wrath for colluding with the Hidden Hand in multiple attempts to assassinate me!"
These words brought another shock to everyone, even Octavia narrowed her eyes. Because a noble couldn’t attack other nobles, even what they were doing now, which was based on some earlier allegation on Luke.
But attacking Baron Luke earlier was considered a bigger crime. And this same thought was also shared by many people.
On this, the faces of the Ashenford armies became ugly, as they didn’t know anything about the truth, because all of this was done by their Lord.
Still, it seemed that now they were going to face the wrath of Baron Luke for their master’s actions.
Sorin Ironclad, who was unconscious before due to heavy bleeding, also opened his eyes when the sudden gravity came upon him.
So he heard everything clearly from start to the end, but the last words spoken by Luke became the nightmare even for him.
’I am doomed.’ He closed his eyes with a resigned expression, because he knew.
Now Baron Luke had the full right to kill each of them, if those allegations proved right, which seemed to be right.
With that he turned toward Soren and others, because their sudden involvement seemed way too suspicious.
’I hope... Aldaric you will not get a death sentence.’ So with a tired expression, he closed his eyes and awaited for the final decision.
From above, Luke, who was floating with the gravitational force of Celestial bodies, observed everything, even the expression of Sorin Ironclad.
Because the moment Luke manifested his Cosmic System, he became the absolute ruler within its area.
At that moment, everything within the one-kilometer-diameter sphere was under his control. Nothing could escape his perception, and he could even use his armor’s construction ability anywhere within that range.
So he raised one hand high, at this the Ashenford armies and the golden knights faces turned to horror.
Though the onlookers didn’t feel the same fear as them, still even they felt goosebumps upon seeing this.
Because with a single motion of Luke’s hand, ten celestial moons materialized in the sky.
Each one measured fifty meters in diameter and revolved above the battlefield.
Every moon embodied a different element—fire, ice, metal, lightning, and earth, etc..
’How is he controlling all of them?’ Their expressions changed drastically.
Most of them had never witnessed a Peak Golden Knight battle in their lives.
That was why Luke’s overwhelming display of power felt completely unreal...
As if it belonged to a being beyond this world.
Which was even more absurd with his early bronze knight cultivation.
Meanwhile-
Aurora and Vaelira looked at Luke with fervent eyes while a large smile formed on both of their faces, and only one thought came into their minds.
’That’s our master.’
’The strongest!’
The same was happening with every Blackstone Legion member, who looked toward their lord with fervent eyes, and a few even started beating their chest armor loudly.
CLANG! CLANG!
Which was followed by even more, and soon every single knight of Blackstone Highlands were beating their chest armor loudly.
CLANG!..... CLANG!... CLANG!.... CLANG!.. CLANG!.CLANG!CLANG!CLANG!
Osric’s eyes became moist seeing this, and the memory of the past war came into his mind, where enemies almost entered their home.
But at the cost of many lives, they were finally able to repel them at that time.
"Now we don’t need to sacrifice our lives meaninglessly anymore." With a smile, he looked high into the sky toward Luke.
"Because now... we have a truly powerful lord."
Aurielle was also happy seeing Luke had become so stronger that now even golden knights had to fear him.
Thinking this her face became a little sad.
Because Luke was becoming strong so fast.
that she was worried...
Worried, that one day maybe he would leave her for his other wives.
Since she knew that among them all wives, she was the weakest.
’If I were stronger...’ thinking this, Aurielle’s eyes became a little purple without her knowing, but this time, the color didn’t fade.
As it always happened in the beginning.
Luke was focusing on controlling celestial bodies, so he didn’t notice Aurielle’s expression.
If he knew that, then he would just kiss her and lock themselves, until she lost this stupid thought.
"Now die." Luke spoke calmly as he lowered his hand.
The next instant, all ten rotating moons shot forward.
WHOOOOOSH!
Like meteors, the massive bodies descended toward the Golden Knights with terrifying speed.
’Death!’
