novel hosted m,vle mpyr
With despair etched into their eyes, they could only all surrender one by one; some were killed and some were seriously injured however without a doubt they were all defeated.
A crushing defeat that brought true despair to the entire village.
"Wait, we surrender." Just as the previous village leader was about to be penetrated with a spike he spoke in a loud tone, the spike stopping barely at the nick of the moment revealing a crimson blood from the damaged wound from it.
"Oh, you surrender." Hanma chuckled with a smile on his face.
The previous leader hurriedly nodded his head and all the seriously injured elders bowed down with him, their head seeing the ground in shame and humiliation.
Not only were some elders seriously injured, but some elders had mutilated arms and legs with clear signs of blunt weapons being used.
If that wasn't humiliating enough then the enemy that has done such a thing to them was the one they were bowing to currently.
"A bunch of sheep." Hanma chuckled with a sneer on his face.
The elders all had a shameful expression however no one spoke a word. It was better for them to take this shame rather than lose their own life.
"I thought you were something special but you are nothing but a fool who dared to think this would be enough to beat me, James." Hanma said with a chuckle "You are a trash leader for this village, I should rule it under my force."
"Yes, yes it is right for you to rule this village. I will just become a humble servant as long as Master Hanma says anything about it." James said sheepishly with a humble smile on his face, just then however he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Still, a smile was on his face as he bootlicked Hanma with all he had.
"Trash," Hanma muttered with disappointment.
Spit!
He spat on James right on the face "Bow down fully to the ground then." Hanma then said.
"Yes, master," James spoke with a smile, his humiliation growing deep down within him however he bided his time directly bowing to him.
"Good, good." Hanma laughed with a smile on his face, directly stepping on the head of James.
James' eyes widened as his head was pushed directly to the ground, tasting the mother earth for the first time in his life.
"Hahaha." Hanma laughed seeing this just as he was reeling on his victory suddenly the head of James slightly raised opening his mouth.
Swish!
A dart was sent flying to him directly penetrating the left shoulder.
"This…" Hanma's eyes widened as he sent James flying across the air clutching his left shoulder.
"You dare-"
He wanted to use his spell however he somehow couldn't gather his mana inside his mental space.
No matter how he tried he was unable to use any spell at all. As if adding insult to the injury he vomited a mouthful of greenish blood that fell to the ground making a sizzling burning contact upon touching the ground itself.
Hanma's eyes narrowed as he looked up only to see a huge ice spear with a sharp end coming towards him at lightning speed.
In a swift motion, his entire arms were severed, with freezing air spreading throughout his body almost freezing his internal organs.
"How is this possible?" he roared in pain, gathering all the strength he had, finally gaining a slight amount of mana from his mental space to use his spell.
Boom!
His skin started to turn into the rough texture of rocks suppressing the ice.
Just as he finished the elders all moved simultaneously while roaring.
"You are not going to escape Hanma."
Countless attacks of the five elements and many other spells rained down on him, drilling him from every side.
Roar!
A shocking air pressure pushed everyone to the side and Hanma hurriedly escaped from there while gritting his teeth with anger.
"I will come back!" Hanma roared, his voice fleeting, as he disappeared into the distance.
James stopped the elders from pursuing Hanma as he looked at the fleeting figure of his before disappearing.
"Are you sure you want to let go of that man so easily, leader?" one of the elders said tentatively with a strange expression on his face.
"He will die either way. That sneak attack I did was coated with a poison that he couldn't handle." James said with a chuckle.
"Are you sure, leader?" the elder said with a frown on his face.
"Don't worry I am confident about the poison I used no matter what trick he used in his arsenal he would die a miserable death…" James chuckled with a sneer "even if he is very close to reaching the revered tier four wizard rank.
Just then James' nose suddenly twitched as a nauseate smell wafted into his nose.
"What is this smell from?" he said with confusion.
A small can of cylindrical metal slowly rolled near James' feet.
"Huh, what is this?" James frowned as he was about to touch it.
Boom!
…
Hanma moved through the place rapidly before finally finding a safe place and resting on it.
"This poison is… troublesome." he frowned with his entire face wrinkled making it extremely ugly however he wouldn't care for it.
Rather he was accessing his own mental space seeing the condition of it, the poison not only affected his physical state it also affected his mental space as well making him completely disabled.
He sat on the ground in a meditative position and started to research the poison right here on the spot.
"No matter what it is, I don't believe my experience of hundreds of years won't let me research this poison." Hanma voiced with a chuckle.
His eyes glinted with a fierce light.
"After I am done dealing with the poison I will come back for revenge, oh right James must be dead already so I will; slaughter his descendant later." he chuckled with an evil laugh.
"A two-faced hypocrite."
