Chapter 774 We’re on different levels
Mephisto couldn’t help taking a step back after he said this before revealing an embarrassed look.
It was the embarrassment that came from having been forced back a step like this by someone he considered a lowly human. It was a blow to his pride as a powerful Demon Count for something like this to happen.
So he couldn’t hold back his anger that came after the embarrassment as he suddenly raised his tail and whipped it out at the fourth prince’s men in front of him.
They were far enough that they weren’t hit directly by the tail whipping at them, but the shockwave that came from this tail whipping out was enough to force them all back. If they hadn’t braced themselves before it happened, then they might have even been picked up off the ground and tossed away.
That was in a situation where they were wearing full armour, so they weighed far more than usual.
That was more than enough to show how much power was in that tail whip.
If it had actually hit them, then there was no doubt that it might have smashed them to pieces.
All of the fourth prince’s elite guards couldn’t help giving a gulp when they realized this and they all took another step back.
The fourth prince let out a sigh of relief when he saw that his elite guards were still fine, but then he said, “Spread out! Don’t group up for him to hit you like that!”
“No need.” I suddenly said, cutting the fourth prince off.
The fourth prince looked at me with a surprised and confused look, but I had already jumped off the horse and was walking towards Joan who had landed on the ground in front of me.
Once I was on her, we immediately flew up into the air and I said, “All of you, stand a bit further back.”
The fourth prince’s elite guards were surprised and confused as well when they heard this, but they listened to me in the end and moved back. That was because the fourth prince had already told them before this that they should listen to me during this time.
The orders that I gave them should be considered direct orders from him and they should obey it, unless they had already received a prior order from him. In that case, they should follow whichever one that they felt was correct.
He didn’t even force them to follow his orders, that was how much he trusted me.
As I moved forward on Joan, there were other wyverns that followed us.
However, I stopped them from coming with us since I knew that it would be too dangerous for them.
The ones that were on the wyverns were Cecilia and her people who had been hiding amongst the elite guards of the fourth prince. They had only taken action now because they knew that I would be here, but I stopped them from following me.
That was because I was the only one that could take care of this Demon Count right now.
When Mephisto saw me approaching him without any fear, he couldn’t help revealing a strange look.
That was because the last time that this happened, the beam of death that he shot had been taken care of without any problems. He couldn’t help fearing what would happen this time…
But he also stopped himself from feeling this way since he was filled with even more embarrassment at having felt this way.
Mephisto gave a snort, almost as if he was calming himself before saying, “Human, you dare go against me?”
I didn’t say a thing as I had Joan slowly fly closer to Mephisto.
She didn’t even fly right at him, but rather it was like she was floating over to him slowly like it was a procession.
Mephisto knitted his brows when he saw this since it almost felt like he was the one that was waiting for Zwein to come over.
This made it feel like he was the one that was subordinate and Zwein was the superior.
This was not a feeling that he enjoyed, so he roared out, “You think that a lowly human like you can do anything in this situation? You should know your place, human!”
He raised his finger again as if he was about to shoot out another beam of death, but I raised my finger at the same time as him and the dark energy that he had been gathering suddenly collapsed. The dark energy just folded in on itself, almost as if it was bowing in prostration before disappearing without a trace.
Mephisto hadn’t seen this before, but now that it had appeared in front of him, he couldn’t help being completely shocked.
“Just what are you?” He couldn’t help saying in a shaky voice.
After all, this was something that he had never encountered before.
In his world, he had always been the one that was at the peak and there was no one that was above him. So he had always been the one that had been above all others.
He had never felt this feeling of being below someone before.
That was the feeling that he felt after the dark energy had folded like that.
He knew what was happening.It wasn’t an accident that his attack had been stopped just now, there was a very simple reason why.
It was because the dark energy that he used had felt that there was a stronger demon here.
The demons cared only about strength and the weak obeyed the strong, so that was why Mephisto’s demon energy had suddenly acted that way.
I just calmly looked at him and raised my finger to point at him, which made Mephisto tremble even more.
As he trembled like this, I just simply said, “It’s because we are on completely different levels.”
Then bringing my finger down, Mephisto suddenly fell face first to the ground.
