The Lord Is Too Overbearing

Chapter 486 Relocation

Basil raised his hand and ordered, "Escort them!"

His voice didn't possess even a hint of urgency, but those who heard it had a great urge to comply. Adhering to Basil's command, the Pacifer Servants separated themselves from the army and went to escort the Pacifer civilians. At the same time, Basil and the Pacifer Warriors joined the rank.

The army was quite a bit surprised upon getting a backup comprised fully of women but didn't underestimate them. The intimidatingly shining Pacifer Seal on the female Warriors' forehead aside, their crushing pressure was enough indication that they weren't a group to be trifled with.

They were still curious, though. They could tell the women that Basil brought with him were the surviving Pacifer Clan, but they couldn't understand why there were only women. They had heard about the Pacifer Clan but didn't know the details. None of them knew that the Pacifer women could only give birth to females.

"We will push the Demons back today."

Their curiosity was quickly drowned out by Basil's declaration. Basil had always made what he said come true, so his declaration pumped the army's spirit up. As soon as they saw Basil's back in front of them, they forgot their fatigue. They roared in excitement and moved their bodies with more vigour.

Basil dashed through the ranks of Demons as if they weren't even there. The Pacifer Warriors followed closely behind. They didn't even attack once, but the Demons whom they shot past dropped dead. It was a bewildering scene for everyone but a nostalgic scene for the watching Pacifer Servants. The Pacifers were adept at attacking their enemies mentally.

At one point, the Hina Dmitra stopped following Basil. They clasped their hands and erected a massive Barrier which they powered with Natural Mana. The Barrier separated the area that they had passed from the area that Basil and others were heading. Once the Barrier was stabilized, they turned around and faced the Demons whom they had passed.

As their Pacifer Seals shone brightly in white, the Demons they were facing became agitated. The Demons quickly fell victim to the Hina Dmitra who didn't hesitate to obliterate the Demons with their Spells. The army was astonished but didn't merely stand and watch. They were also coming for the Demons and therefore they could tell that the Demons had been weakened.

Crackle!

As the army was busy taking advantage of the weakened Demons, the Qilin flashed through the battlefield and joined Basil's side in the blink of an eye. Iliana, Ione, Xander, Cyrus and the Maha Dmitra were quite shocked by its appearance but not worried about it. Without Basil telling them anything, they knew the Qilin was on his side.

"This battlefield lacks a strong opponent, young lad!" the Qilin roared mirthfully. "I have been having fun, but it is not enough. They are nigh endless but too easy to kill."

"Don't worry. The future fight will bring more strong Demons before us," Basil assured casually. "You may have to risk your life to win the fight."

"That is more like it!"

Basil took out Caliburn and raised it into the air. He abruptly stopped in his tracks, causing the people following behind him to scatter and letting the golden lightning from the sky hit Caliburn. The Qilin positioned itself behind Basil and stayed still as he surrounded himself with golden lightning. The lightning crackled madly, violently vibrating everyone's eardrums.

The lightning surrounding the Qilin struck Basil's body and travelled to Caliburn. Golden lightning pillars emerged from the ground and then surrounded the Qilin and Basil like a protective barrier. The Qilin opened his mouth, forming a destructive golden ball of lightning. The lightning running through their bodies got more intense because of the action.

Crack!

As the Qilin released his golden lightning ball, Basil released a beam of golden lightning from Caliburn. The two attacks merged before they made contact with any of the Demons. The lightning ball expanded meanwhile the lightning beam spread out like tree roots. The Demons' scream of terror was soon washed off by the crackling sound of lightning.

The battlefield was overwhelmed by the golden light for a few seconds. Everyone collectively stopped moving to avoid hitting allies and also getting hit by the golden lightning. Far as they were, they could still feel electricity. Their bodies tingled even by merely looking at it. They would have been charred to death if they were civilians.

When the lightning died down and everyone could see once again, Basil immediately ordered his closest aides to swoop in. Collaborating with the five Maha Dmitra, Iliana, Ione, Xander and Cyrus exterminated the surviving Demons with one Spell. None of the Demons could properly defend themselves as they were still stunned by the lightning.

Blood wet the charred ground, turning the smell of the battlefield even more unpleasant. Basil and the Pacifer Clan had emptied half of the battlefield since their appearance. They had done it so quickly and efficiently that it had felt like a dream for those who had witnessed it. They could understand why the Church bore deep hatred towards them.

The Pacifer Clan was still this strong even after millennia of hiding and extermination. It was unimaginable how strong they had been in the past. The power that the Pacifer used to possess must have easily rivalled the Empire. It was understandable why the Church was worried about the Pacifer. They couldn't risk losing their backing.

"Take care of the nuisance," Basil spoke to Iliana and others as he took Durendal out of his Spatial Ring. "I will take care of the Obelisk Master who has decided to come out of his hide."

No one questioned Basil's decision. Iliana who had recently become a Maha Dmitra didn't bother to argue this time. She had come to terms with the difference in power between her and Basil. She had realized what was important was that she could help him. Her newfound power was enough, so she didn't dwell on her inability to fight with him side by side like they used to.

"Ha-Ha-Ha! It is you who stole my Vagus!"

A blue-haired flamboyant man with armour draped with a red cloth joined the battlefield with a boisterous laugh. Basil was familiar with his face. It looked attractive to both males and females. One only needed a glance at the mole above his lip to lose themselves in lust. Surely, Basil was different. He could hardly feel the man's influence.

"I want to act surprised, but you are that being's incarnation. It would be funny if you easily faltered before my charm," the man remarked in fascination. "Ah, let me introduce myself. My name is—"

"Let's get this over with, Zepar," Basil interjected calmly.

"Oh, you know my name."

"I need to merge Vagus with Durendal."

Zepar raised the blue claymore in his hand and stared at it with a quirked eyebrow. He then lowered his hand and scoffed at Basil. Vagus no longer felt special without its Sword Soul—which was actually Asia—but it was still his. He wouldn't let Basil talk lightly about it.

"[Derailing Charm]!" he shouted.

Basil merely quirked an eyebrow as he felt the slight tug in his mind. He was quite amused that someone was testing the Technique he was adept at on him. Naturally, the attack did nothing. Zepar quickly realized it was the case. He charged at Basil, putting as much Miasma as he could into Vagus.

Basil blocked Vagus with Durendal and slashed Zepar's stomach with Caliburn. The Demon retreated with wide eyes. He had tried [Haywire] on Basil, but it didn't work. On top of that, Basil could use True Light Magic, so his wound couldn't heal. He immediately lost his playful look. Basil was not someone he could trifle with.

Coursing Miasma through his body, he unlocked all of the restraints put on him. His body morphed, quickly losing its human look. Before long, the flamboyant man was replaced with a 10-meter monstrosity with red skin and a pair of horns on its forehead. Zepar had assumed his True Form.

Basil's Pacifer Seal shone brighter. Now that Zepar no longer restrained his Miasma, he could feel Vagus' influence. A Sword Relic was nothing without its Sword Soul but with enough external power, it would be able to use its Sword Soul's ability perfectly. Unfortunately, Basil wasn't completely immune to Vagus' influence.

"[Derailing Charm]!"

Clank!

With that said, though, Zepar still didn't hold any advantage over Basil. He could still thwart Vagus' ability easily. As a Pacifer, his soul was exceptionally strong and his mental defence was absurdly solid. Zepar needed to do more than that to make [Derailing Charm] take effect.

"[Derailing Charm]!"

On the other hand, Basil could easily influence Zepar with the same Technique.

"Blasphemous!"

Zepar was momentarily caught off guard by the pleasure-filled illusion that [Derailing Charm] gave him. By the time he regained clarity, Caliburn had already cut his chest twice. He frantically teleported himself away but failed to maintain his footing. As a result, he sprawled on the ground as soon as he reappeared.

"You dare use my Curse against me, Pacifer!" He screamed at Basil who quickly appeared beside him.

Basil merely drove Durendal and Caliburn into the sprawled Zepar, ignoring him completely. Zepar gritted his teeth and cast another [Teleportation]. Much to his shock, he found the Spell not working. Realizing the space in his surroundings had been sealed in the next moment, he spat a ball of Miasma at Basil's face.

Squelch!

Durendal and Caliburn pierced through Zepar at the same time his Miasma ball hit Basil's face. Zepar spewed out a mouthful of blood, but Basil remained unharmed. The Miasma ball fell harmlessly from his face. Zepar couldn't believe what he saw. He refused to believe there was a Mana Barrier strong enough to block his Miasma ball up close.

"Ah, fuck it!" He came to a decision. "You will beg for your life the next time we meet, Pacifer!" He would sacrifice a part of his soul to escape.

Poof!

Compared to the intensity of the Miasma, the sound that the Demonic Art produced was underwhelming. Despite that, what it did was amazing. Zepar easily escaped Basil's confinement. Basil couldn't even do anything to prevent it.

"Well, that is interesting."

Unfortunately for Zepar, Basil didn't need to stop him.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

"What…?"

As soon as he reappeared in the sky a few kilometres away, thousands of swords pierced through his body. He could only stare at Basil in disbelief before the swords impaling him exploded, thus destroying his body.
