Chapter 276: Chapter 271: Arrogant First, Respectful Later Chapter 276: Chapter 271: Arrogant First, Respectful Later “Ah!” “Ah!” … The shrill screams echoed in the sky over the Broduick territory, as the nobles were left dumbfounded by the sudden retreat of this legendary figure that the royal family had sent to aid them.

With his exclusive weapon, Muria swept through this group of unsuspecting nobles with his axe light.

Armor imbued with extraordinary metals, magic robes programmed to automatically activate defensive spells upon sensing danger… All defenses of these nobles were effortlessly destroyed by the axe light as if they were rotten wood, followed by the sound of flesh being torn apart.

These nobles were caught off guard and almost all of them were cut in half at the waist by Muria. Several of them, with half of their armored or magically robed lower bodies drenched in blood, spilled their colorful internal organs onto the ground. The scene was excessively bloody.

A few unlucky ones, slightly shorter or positioned a little lower than others, were instantly decapitated and fell dead on the spot without a chance to struggle.

As for the nobles who were cut in half at the waist, they were in terrible pain. Although they were still alive due to their golden physique, their wounds could not heal at all and even worsened with time. That was the residual power of Muria’s attack left on them after they were cut in half.

This power was far superior to the Fighting Qi or magical power within their bodies. When these golden-level humans tried to use their internal Fighting Qi to crush the remnants of Muria’s attack, they found their strength to crumble upon impact, and they could only watch as their wounds became more severe and their life forces continued to drain away.

As for the eight Soul Intent ‘nobles’ who were also cut in half at the waist, they were slightly better off. After consuming an amount of Fighting Qi that was dozens to hundreds of times more than the residual power at their wound sites, they managed to cleanse it completely.

Then they used their Fighting Qi to pull their lower bodies towards their upper bodies. The moment they made contact, their flesh squirmed and their bodies were put together almost instantaneously.

All of this happened within a few breaths’ time. At the same time, the golden rank nobles screamed in pain and some of them with weaker willpower, flew down to find their lower halves and internal organs that had fallen to the ground when they were cut in half.

A larger group used their Fighting Qi to pull their bleeding lower halves up, covering the upper ends of their bodies to prevent their internals from falling out, and turned to the eight Soul Intents for help.

The legendary figure who had avoided Muria’s axe light reappeared at his original location, ignoring the resentful gazes behind him. He kept his head down, looking gloomily at the hand he had once used to block the axe light.

“Lord! You’ve been injured!” a human Soul Intent noble shouted in alarm at the sight of the legendary figure’s palm bleeding. They could see the bloody wound and the pale broken bones protruding from it. It seemed as if his palm was on the verge of breaking.

“Golden Dragon!” After staring at his wound for a few moments, several small lightning arcs spewed out and his wound began to heal swiftly. The human legend then cast a greedy look at the battle axe in Muria’s hand.

“Let me see the weapon in your hands!” A dark yellow Fighting Qi surged out from his body, forming a large hand, reaching for the Startling God Battle Axe in Muria’s hand. He had become aware of the extraordinary nature of the weapon in Muria’s hand.

“Ignorant!” Muria looked at the hand coming at him, and with the Startling God Battle Axe in hand, he slashed down vertically, shattered the hand into countless pieces of Qi exploding in all directions.

“This is definitely a legendary weapon!” Seeing his hand being slashed apart, the legendary warrior Dumps was not angered but overjoyed. His eyes were greedily fixed on the battle axe in Muria’s hand.

Despite living for so long and having seen legendary weapons a few times, he had never actually used one himself. The weapon he was currently using was just an extraordinary greatsword mixed with a few granules of fine gold, which was quite pathetic in comparison.

“Hand over your weapon, and I will excuse your offense against me.” Dumps stared at the double-edged battle-axe in Mureya’s hand, his breathing getting more rapid by the second.

“Fool!” Upon hearing these legendary words, the Red Dragon, who had crossed the Space Gate to stand by Mureya, did not hold back his curse.

“Just a human, have your brains gone fuzzy from all the daily worship from worthless ants, do you know who you are speaking to?” The Red Dragon roared confidently, as Mureya’s two swift axe-swings had provided him with plenty of confidence. He did not flinch at all.

“Haha, coveting Prince Mureya’s weapon, do you not understand what death means?” Fiona also stood by Mureya’s side, her voice filled with ridicule.

Being insulted by two giant dragons, Dumps was burning with anger. However, he was, after all, a powerhouse who had reached the legendary level. Though his mind was filled with thoughts of the Startling God Battle Axe in Mureya’s hand, he still managed to retain some rationality and wasn’t completely blinded by greed.

“What is your identity?” An increasingly serious Dumps asked, struggling to hold onto his last bit of rationality. He had decided that if Mureya’s backstage support wasn’t too strong, he was determined to seize the battle axe.

“Mureya’s mother is the great Golden Blazing Sun, Archmage Atris.” Green dragon Fiona stared with her jewel-like vertical pupils at the legendary human and the humans behind him who were healing each other and administering potions, “This name, even you ignorant guys should have heard of it, haven’t you?”

Golden Blazing Sun, Atris! Upon hearing a name carrying such weight, Dumps felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, immediately sobering up. The greed in his eyes vanished instantly, and his gaze towards Mureya was filled with apprehension.

At the same time, the thought of robbing Mureya’s weapon instantly got dispelled. This backstage support was way too strong, unfathomable and unoffendable. Offending this entity wouldn’t bode well, retreat was the best option!

“Your Majesty Mureya, since these people have offended your dignity, you can dispose of them as you like.” Dumps bowed slightly to Mureya, his words shocked the nobles standing behind him,
“Dumps, the King can order you to protect us. You are blatantly disobeying his orders and abandoning us.” One of the Soul Intent Level nobles ignored the fact that Dumps was legendary and began to question him under the threat of death.

“Haha, the King commanded me to protect you initially because he was unaware of Prince Mureya’s specific identity. Now that I am aware, there is no need to continue protecting you.

I will report everything that happened here to the King once I’m back,” Dumps spoke indifferently. “Also, who gave you the guts to speak to me like this?”

In the horrified gaze of the Soul Intent noble, Dumps extended his hand towards him…Without any strength to resist, this noble was squeezed into a lump of flesh by Dumps, and his life had completely run cold.

Although he seemed weak, to the point he didn’t dare meet the Axe Light that Mureya swung with his battle-axe, it was because Mureya’s bloodline was extremely formidable, and he was wielding the true body’s strength while also being aided by the legendary weapon.

Dumps underestimated Mureya and wasn’t prepared. Therefore he dodged. Although Dumps, being a legend, appeared somewhat weak to Mureya, he was still a legendary figure, and when it came to dealing with humans of his kind, he had an absolute advantage.
