Reincarnated With the Seduction System

Chapter 136: Played

"But to think that you lost to a young whelp…" Asmodeus's voice was thick with disdain as he looked down at the trembling Baron Mortimer, his eyes narrowing with a predatory gleam. "It's quite pathetic, Baron."

Mortimer struggled to speak, to warn them of the terror that stood beside Adrian.

But before he could get a word out, a suffocating pressure engulfed him—a force so intense it made every bone in his body creak under its weight.

Seraphina, with her aura swelled like a tidal wave, drowning out all sound, all thought, until only sheer, unrelenting terror remained.

Her power crashed down upon not only him but to the three newcomers as well.

Baron Mortimer gasped, choking on his own breath as his limbs locked in place, his voice silenced by the crushing weight of her presence.

The three retainers, who had initially looked down upon these backwater nobles, had their whole body freeze. 

Initially they thought they had to fight Blackthorn's men, but once they arrived here, they realized their opponent was just a young baron twerp from backwater region.

No matter the number of army under him, they thought as soon as they get him, it was game over anyway, so instead of attacking him, they mocked Mortimer.

But now, looking at their situation, they realized how wrong they were. They now were under pressure from someone at higher class than them.

Adrian glanced at the three figures, his gaze cold and appraising. With a subtle gesture, a translucent status panel appeared before him, displaying the attributes of each warrior.

Skybreaker: A powerful jump attack where Vincent channels lightning into his fist and descends onto the enemy with crushing force, creating a small shockwave that stuns all nearby opponents.

Adrian's gaze lingered on the translucent panels before him, his frown deepening as he observed the strength of the enemies before him.

His eyes narrowed thoughtfully as he turned his attention to Seraphina. "Does it make sense that Count Blackthorn's people would be so easily and quickly detected by Count Vortigern?" he asked, his voice low but sharp, the wheels in his mind turning.

Seraphina's lips curled into a knowing smile, her approval clear in her eyes. "Good, it seems you've realized it, my dear husband," she said softly, her tone brimming with satisfaction. "As expected of you."

Adrian's frown shifted into a cold smile. "It looks like we've been played by the Blackthorn family. They seem to be too eager to tie us to their ship huh," he remarked, his voice cold. "But no matter. Let's deal with that later."

He turned back to the three warriors standing before them, all frozen in place by the sheer weight of Seraphina's power.

"For now, Aunt, I want to see my limit," he said, his voice brimming with quiet anticipation. "Can you isolate the strongest one? Let me fight him."

Seraphina gave a graceful nod, her eyes gleaming with pride. "Of course."

Sophia, who had been quietly observing from the side, stepped forward. The eagerness in her eyes betrayed her curiosity about the newcomers.

She had been listening to the exchange, and her expression now mirrored Adrian's intensity. "Aunt Seraphina," Sophia interjected, her voice steady but brimming with excitement.

"Do the same for me. I want to see how strong I've become after a year of training."
