Chapter 704 Two boys
Hundreds of kilometers away from the devastated capital of Azil--
"Hah~ How long are we going to keep going up? This is bad for the knees." Holak stopped halfway up a mountain and started patting his back with fatigue like a mortal
"Stop babbling and keep moving. We're almost there." Warlord Julian was not convinced that the person who had stopped that attack so easily would tire of walking such a distance
"Aiy Aiy~ Do you have mercy in your heart?" Holak shook his head and continued walking, "How do you make an old man like me walk like this, and even climb a mountain? At least carry me on your shoulder."
Warlord Julian's face twisted but he did not stop or respond this time, yet he could not stop himself from sending a glance towards Holak.
That person is surrounded by two warlords, one in front and one in the back, and is walking towards the enemy headquarters with his feet, yet his facial expression is relaxed and he has time to joke. Did his isolation with the beasts for all those years destroy his common sense... Or is he certain that nothing bad will happen to him today?
*ROOOAARR*
Julian sent his gaze up as well. That wyvern didn't look happy at all following them like that, but it didn't try to escape or do anything suspicious. It seemed that as long as Holak took the soft approach, it would do the same.
Holak continued nagging for a few more minutes with no response from anyone until they finally approached the summit and Julian stepped out of the way and motioned for him to continue.
"Hmm, won't you come too? Meeting with your master alone might be dangerous.." The giant was surprised.
"His Excellency requested your presence alone, so no one else will come forward. Even your lizard will stay with us here, and also... His Excellency does not need someone like me to guard him!" Julian was already beginning to reach his limit
"Oh, he doesn't need your guard? Interesting... Okay, Crixus, stay and play here with them. I'll go see this His Excellency Brother." Holak nodded a few times and followed a few more steps until he reached the top of the mountain, placing his hands behind his back
The first thing Holak did was look down at his foot... It was clear from the moment he placed his foot on the mountain top that it was not ordinary. Usually, mountain peaks are sharp and full of curves and protrusions, but this peak was completely flat and had a smooth surface as if it were marble. Rather, it was level to the point that it was impossible for it to form in this shape naturally, it was clear that the top had been cut off with a sharp tool like a sword, and it appeared to happen with one strike...
A huge sword and decisive power to cut off the top of a mountain with one strike like this...
To do something like this... Holak raised his eyebrows in surprise and was forced to look back at Warlord Julian, thinking about it, he still hadn't seen the Warlord's weapon.
Then Holak shrugged his shoulders and looked in front of him again, this time wanting to see the person he came for, the Third Heaven's Chosen who had turned the northern region upside down, and his trusted followers.
But his excited expression quickly turned to disappointment. On top of the mountain, only two humans were sitting on two large chairs giving him their backs, even after stepping on the mountain top for a few seconds now they were not allerted of his presence
One of them was blond, wearing casual blue attire, and the other had black hair and wore full armor, a mixture of black and gold, and placed his black helmet on his thigh. They both gave off an air of nobility that even dirt was ashamed to approach one of them... But why is it that one of them was still a low-level Martial Emperor while the other was not even an Emperor!!
This is good for their ages... Their bodies say they are the exact same age, they should be twins or something. For them to reach this kind of strength when they are barely over a hundred years old is an excellent achievement, but he did not come to meet young talents!
"Ehem!" Holak put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice to alert the two human boys of his presence, "Who are you, lovely ones? Where are your elders?"
But no one paid attention, they both acted as if he was not there.
"Hmm?" Hulk raised his eyebrows and began to inspect his palms and muscles. Is his presence not enough?
*Claaaak*
"Ahhhh"
"Hmm?" At this moment, Holak heard something that made him stop inspecting himself and focus on the two in front of him again
There was a floating ring in the air in front of the two humans. In that ring, he saw a massive battle and heard the screams of the warriors. With one look, Hulk was able to pinpoint the location of this battle... This was the spot he had just left, that battle was happening now!
*Whistle~* Hulk let out a long whistle, raising his eyebrows, then took a quick step forward, "This sounds great, you can follow a battle taking place hundreds of miles away like that? Is this the creation of the Third Heaven's Chosen? Let me see!"
*Shwalaa*
The black-haired human casually moved his hand without looking behind him and erected a wall of black flame in front of Holak, then he was heard saying: "Do not come any closer until my father gives you permission."
Normally, Holak would have praised this wonderful move and continued moving forward anyway, but for the first time since his appearance today, he furrowed his eyebrows and took a step back.
The wall of flame did not exceed two meters in height and was burning very lightly as if it were a curtain intended for mosquitoes. However, Holak felt his soul twitch slightly when he was about to touch it.
His soul... The soul of Holak... Is twitching? When was the last time something like this happened?!
Holak waved and a strong wind blew out the black flames, then he looked at the black-haired young man with a face devoid of any emotions, "This looks dangerous, young man. If you continue playing like this, someone might get hurt."
*PAA* The black-haired one stood up and then took out a black halberd out of nowhere and slammed it on the ground, The head of the halberd was ignited by that black flame again, "You talk too much."
Faced with Caesar's threat, Holak raised one eyebrow and then began to scratch his head, "...Listen, boy, a while ago you said I have to wait for your father's permission, Should I understand that your father is the Third Heaven's Chosen? That person really likes to have children, huh... It doesn't matter~ I understand the children's enthusiasm and everything, but I came to get to know your father, I don't want to waste the opportunity when he comes and sees me turning his son's head into a urinal."
