Landlord World - Start with SSS talent-Chapter 175: Fighting with Fate Holder

Noan frowned when he heard Aldric say he wanted to recruit him. Naturally, he couldn't trust such nonsense.

"Not going to answer?" Aldric remained calm, his face still wearing that 'friendly' smile, though there was a slight indifference to it. "You should think this through carefully."

"If you accept to join the government or the Royal Guard, I can help you. Consider today a misunderstanding, and I won't report it to the leaders."

"Otherwise, I'm sorry, but I won't allow anyone to threaten the existence of the Empire and the government."

Noan felt a chill run down his spine as Aldric's words were filled with cold, murderous intent.

It was fear born from instinct and his very soul, as Aldric's rank and strength were far superior.

"Let me guess." Aldric suddenly continued. "Although you possess Space magic, your rank is definitely below level 5, right?"

Noan was a bit surprised. Could Aldric really read his information?

"Hahaha… I must have guessed right. Even though Space magic is terrifying, the area around this truck is protected by a seal."

"Even if you can use space magic if your rank is too low, you won't be able to break through that seal."

"Low rank and still daring to come here to cause trouble? I don't know whether you're foolish or just overconfident."

"However, if you don't make a choice, then I'll have no choice but to…"

"Kill you!"

With that, Aldric's body transformed into a gust of wind, racing toward Noan's hiding spot.

Noan wasn't too surprised; he knew Aldric could 'lock' enemies within a large radius and, therefore, knew that Aldric had already found his position.

Immediately, Noan used his Space talent to teleport away.

BAM!

As soon as Noan disappeared, the spot he had been standing on was struck by a wind drill, causing a terrifying explosion.

The earth and rocks were sent flying over twenty meters, and the trees around him fell as if an earthquake had struck.

"Vylyss, can you get through that seal?" Noan asked, his brow furrowing.

"Sorry, Master. I cannot break through the seal. Its energy source is too powerful."

Noan felt a sense of despair as he heard Vylyss' reply.

Just as Noan was about to move, Aldric's lancer's sharp tip appeared right before him.

"What the hell?!" Noan flinched, cursing inwardly.

However, the distance was too close for him to avoid it, and he didn't even have enough time to use his Space talent.

Cling! Cling!

Suddenly, countless chains pierced through the surrounding space, restraining the lancer that was aimed at Noan's head.

Vylyss emerged from the rift in space, her hand holding a spear formed from black-and-white energy, radiating an immense, terrifying power.

KENG!

The sound of the weapons clashing rang out loudly.

Aldric's lancer was pushed back, but Noan couldn't see where he was.

Vylyss was also taken aback by Aldric's speed.

In just a split second, Aldric vanished, his speed comparable to Vylyss' Space talent.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, the sound of whistling wind filled the air. Vylyss flinched, seeing countless green wind blades slashing toward them with incredible speed.

Vylyss immediately hugged Noan and then activated her Space talent.

The wind blades missed, but from a distance, it appeared as if the entire space around them had been cut into countless pieces.

As Vylyss and Noan reappeared, the feeling of imminent danger returned.

It seemed Aldric knew exactly where they would appear and had already been waiting for them.

"AH! Succubus? No, a Succubus cannot use space magic. You are a different kind of creature," Aldric said, looking at Vylyss with a greedy gleam.

"You're becoming more and more interesting. It's a shame you're not my ally. If you were, we might have been able to fight together."

SNAP!

Aldric snapped his fingers, and at that moment, both Vylyss and Noan felt the space around them become heavy as if they were being pulled into a swamp.

Vylyss struggled but couldn't escape the confinement.

'This isn't good! Even though it's not space magic, the power behind it is no different from space magic,' Noan thought to himself.

He realized that… Aldric was not just controlling the wind; he was controlling the air itself.

Vylyss suddenly gritted her teeth, and a drop of blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, turning into a blinding beam of light.

"What?!" Aldric was momentarily taken aback, unsure of what was happening.

But the light beam enveloped the entire space around them before Aldric could act.

Aldric opened his eyes again and realized he was standing in a strange dimension.

He stood on a massive rock, surrounded by demons screeching loudly. The terrifying sounds, accompanied by gusts of cold wind carrying dust and the distant scent of blood, made anyone there feel a deep dread.

However, Aldric curiously looked around. In the distance, he saw endless waves of demons and zombies, seemingly without end.

The sky was dark and cloudy, with occasional flashes of lightning illuminating the blood-colored clouds.

"Wow! Is this an illusion?" Aldric said with excitement. "You have Space magic and illusion magic as well."

"You are truly strange and fascinating, making me very intrigued. However, I cannot allow you to continue existing if you are my enemy."

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Suddenly, the space around them cracked like glass, numerous fissures appearing before...

BANG!

The space shattered, and Vylyss coughed up a mouthful of blood, stumbling back.

"Too weak! Don't you know that their mind must be weaker than yours to pull someone into an illusionary world?"

"If their mind is stronger than yours, the one who suffers the consequences is you."

Hearing Aldric's words, Noan looked at Vylyss, feeling confused.

He truly didn't understand what had just happened.

Noan only saw Aldric suddenly pause, but in just a split second, Vylyss had spit blood.

"Enough! Let's finish this, and I don't want my mission to be delayed," Aldric said with a smile.

He swung his hand, and the lancer immediately flew to him, which he caught firmly.

The tip of the lancer was aimed straight at Noan's face, and a surge of green energy quickly focused, forming into a mini whirlwind like a tornado.

However, Noan could feel the terrifying power emanating from the green vortex.

"Goodbye! If there is a next life, be a little smarter and don't do such stupid things again," Aldric said with a sneer, his words dripping with contempt.

Suddenly, Aldric felt something and furrowed his brows.

He swung the lancer behind him, but it seemed stuck in space, unable to move.

"Little brat, no one can disrespect my master." Malrik's voice echoed.

Aldric looked at Malrik, then turned his gaze back to Vylyss and Noan, suddenly bursting into loud laughter: "Hahahaha… hahahaha…"

"How interesting, so interesting. Not only can you bring two heroes to the city, but each hero also possesses incredible strength."

"Hahahaha… you are quite interesting. Alright, I'll give you one more chance."

"If you join me and become my ally, I will help you become the captain of a Royal Guard squad."

"Moreover, I'll provide you with many resources to…"

BAM!

Suddenly, hellfire transformed into two massive hands with countless souls screaming within, grabbing Aldric and holding him tightly.

Aldric felt the pain, and the smile on his face faded away.

"Ah!" Noan sensed the surrounding space become lighter and immediately moved back.

Vylyss, however, was different. After escaping from the confinement, she raised her hand, and a black-and-white spear materialized in her grasp.

Without a word, Vylyss, holding the spear, fought through the intense pain that made her head feel like it was about to explode, charging toward Aldric.

Vylyss seemed to transform into a stream of dark light, cutting through the space.

Aldric tried to dodge but couldn't, as the two massive hands seemed like an incredibly powerful magical seal.

KENG!

Suddenly, the lancer appeared out of nowhere and collided with Vylyss' spear, throwing her trajectory off course.

Vylyss gripped her spear tightly as countless chains emerged, wrapping around the spear and pulling it taut, turning it into a giant arrow.

Then…

WHOOSH!

The sound of wind shrieking through the air was deafening as Vylyss' spear was launched, transforming into a beam of light moving at a speed even more terrifying than a bullet, racing toward Aldric.

Seeing the spear approaching, Aldric remained unnervingly calm. He didn't try to dodge but muttered, "The blessing of the Wind Goddess. Your knight has arrived."

At that moment, briefly, before Vylyss' spear struck Aldric, his body emitted a blinding green aura.

BAM!
