"Cousin, long time no see!" Theo.
With a creepy wide grin. And with all the fresh splashes of blood of his opponents adorning his face, Theo's current figure was like a god of death staring intently at Ioric.
Seeing this demon-like Theo, Ioric immediately shrank his heart. His legs were shaking more and more before he ended up falling backward. Looking in horror at Theo.
"Young master!"
Rodric who was the first elder of the True Alknight House, Ioric's personal protector in this war, immediately cried out in alarm as his young master fell down.
"Hmmm... What's wrong? Why so scared? You're not wetting a bed, are you?" Theo asked, with a face full of contempt. Then he started to play with his little knives. Step forward one step.
"Stop him!"
Shouted Rodric as soon as Theo started advancing. Instruction to the elite forces he led to block Theo.
However, after all, even though they were called elite troops, which was the strongest Knight batch belonging to the True Alknight House that was not an elder. Still, these Knights only had the Immortal-grade heaven.
This allowed Theo to easily and casually throw his knife, taking out these Knights before they could even touch him.
"If only you had chosen the right side, and had not fallen into the sedition of that Ivanovic, perhaps you would all be important pillars of the House today!"
"With all the resources I have, it won't be difficult for you to ascend to the General class, enter into the strongest existential faction in this Frozen Pine Forest region!" Said Theo, with a somewhat regretful expression.
*Jleepp….!!!!
*Woooshhh….!!!
Along with Theo's words just now, he threw the last Knight who confronted him using one of his Mammon throwing knives that had the fire attribute. The blade stuck right in the middle of the Knight's forehead, then quickly burned his body as Theo, who was attaching a thread-shaped Mana flow to each knife, pulled back the blade.
Now, all that remained protecting Ioric was the first elder of the True Alknight House. Rodric Alknight, a Knight with a sky General class. While the rest of his army, which did not belong to the small elite group he led, was still busy making barricades, blocking the large wave of House Braveheart troops who were still trying to break through the defensive formation.
"Hmmm... Master Rodric, the former seventh elder of the House! Of all the people who defected, it was only you who surprised me!"
"Before I kill you, may I ask, why did you betray?" Theo asked, looking intently at Rodric.
From Theo's observations, everyone who defected to follow his uncle Ivanovic, will always have his own personal reasons, he said, most were people who had been disappointed by the old rules that were still firmly held by the Alknight House just like the Glarian Master. Otherwise, those who defected, were a collection of criminals or vile people who were exiled from the House, as was Eric Alknight.
However, of the two reasons, Rodric Alknight is not a person who can be included in one of them. He is a person who has been known to be very firm in carrying out the old rules. And he was neither a vile man nor a criminal exiled by the House. Rather it is an elder who is very disciplined and always behaves fairly with honor.
Therefore, Theo was very surprised, tend to regret when he heard Rodric Alknight was one of the elders who defected with his uncle.
"Young Master Theo, from the way you asked, and from the change in your expression that became a little more amiable while looking at me, I can conclude that you really regret my decision to join the rebel faction." Said Rodric, who turned out to be able to read all the changes in Theo's expression. This made Theo who heard it, become even more impressed with him.
However, hearing Master Rodric's words, Theo did not give any response, only starting to put on a simple smile. Then a brief nod for Master Rodric to continue what he wanted to say.
"Actually, my reason is quite simple, it is the first elder, your uncle Ivanovic Alknight!"
After saying so, Rodric made a small smile on his face, then began to stare towards the sky, looking late in a distant look. Remembering the events that happened in his teenage years.
"Unlike most of the other elders, as long as you know, I'm not an Alknight from birth!" Said Rodric, who was immediately greeted with a frown by Theo.
Seeing Theo's expression, Rodric momentarily stopped the story, giving Theo a chance to digest his confusion. Once enough is done, he continues his story.
"I was born in the suburb of Alknight, to two parents who were members of the House branch family! This of course made me live in poverty all the time I was born!" Master Rodric.
"And when I was a teenager, my parents died, making me, who lived in poverty, decide to leave Alknight City."
"From here, I then stopped by and settled in a small town not too far from Alknight City. In this small town, I who turned out to have above average Element Seed qualities or can be said to be talented, began to find my identity."
"Gathering and forming my own elite army of fellow youths living in the streets. Then together grew to protect the city from dozens of bandit attacks!"
"One day, we faced a bandit group that was too strong, which could not be overcome by the group I led. Therefore, the city lord decided to go to Alknight City in order to put the mission for the Alknight House to help deal with the matter of the bandits."
"And when the Knight army of the Alknight House finally came, it was the young elder Ivanovic who led it!"
"With the help of the Knight group, the bandits were finally able to be massacred, so that it no longer posed a threat to the city!"
"With the beginning of my change in fate, elder Ivanovic, who saw my talent, especially after learning that I was one of the descendants of the branch family from his House, decided to take me back to Alknight city."
"Include me as the descendant of one of the House's main families who married into one of the small House outside the Frozen Pine Forest region?"
"After bearing the name of Alknight, with my talent, I gave everything I had to help House, completed many important missions, trying to repay the kindness of elder Ivanovic as best I could by serving House!"
"The next story you know for yourself, I climbed high up to the position of the seventh elder of the House!" Master Rodric said, closing all his explanations with a simple smile. While looking at Theo with a probing look.
Waiting for Theo to blaspheme and insult him for haphazardly bearing the name Alknight, but not a descendant of the main family. Destroying the boundaries of the old rules that have been guarded by the House.
However, contrary to what Master Rodric thought, Theo instead stared with a contemptuous gaze, but still with his originally sharp gaze. A simple smile was still on Theo's lips. It really doesn't show any change in expression. It still seems a little respectful to Master Rodric.
"If I were in uncle's position then, maybe I would have done the same!" Theo said, after being silent for a while.
Hearing Theo's words, Master Rodric slightly widened his eyes for a moment, before starting to look back up into the sky.
"To be honest, it is very dear that House has to experience events like this, divided. With a person like you supporting House, I'm sure you'll make a lot of changes going forward!" Master Rodric.
"However, I apologize, I have to defend my principles! From the beginning, I promised myself to follow Mr. Ivanovic, no matter what!"
Hearing that, Theo who still maintained his simple smile, started playing his little knives again.
"I understand, and I also have great respect for people with a firm stand who know how to return the favor like you!"
"So, let's fight fair, at least you'll die with honor!" Theo said, then began to advance forward.
Seeing that, Master Rodric immediately pulled out his sword, turned into his Soul Knight mode, and came crashing forward to welcome Theo.
