Chapter 12 - Kendrick

"The bastard that broke my son's limbs should come out. Today is the day you die!!"

A middle aged man in silver embroidered clothing shouted into the restaurant, surrounded by expressionless guards.

"Oi. I beat the small one and the big one comes out? How decent."

Leo's voice rang out from within the crowd that gathered nearby.

The middle aged man and his entourage turned around to find Leo smiling at them, mockery in his eyes.

"You must be Baron Lombard. For your information, I merely gave your son a little reeducation.

No need to thank me too much." Leo said with an indifferent expression.

The middle aged man became even angrier, while the crowd that originally gathered retreated like the tide, fearing for their lives.

Three of his guards walked forward and charged at Leo.

|1st Grade Spell: Fireball|

|1st Grade Spell: Minor Wind Blade|

|1st Grade Spell: Earth Projectile|

They were actually Disciple Warlocks!

A fist sized fireball, a half meter long wind blade, and a football sized mass of earth were sent in Leo's direction.

Without a change in expression, Leo prepared to counterattack.

This would also be the first time he actually used the Spiritual Overlord Technique in combat.

{SPIRITUAL OVERLORD TECHNIQUE - Ferocious Tiger: Shifting Shadows}

His body blurred as he moved erratically, the attacks evading him completely. In the time it took to blink, he appeared in front of the Warlocks.

{SPIRITUAL OVERLORD TECHNIQUE - Ferocious Tiger: White Cloud Claw}

*BAM*

White airflow condensed around fist, forming into a claw shape, before he swiped the chest of one of the attackers.

The recipient of the attack was heavily impacted, his chest being cut through instantly, as he flew a few meters away.

He stopped breathing, his heart having been crushed.

The two others gritted their teeth and activated their spells again, obviously getting a bit strained.

{SPIRITUAL TOTEM TECHNIQUE - Land Tortoise: Unshakeable}

Leo's qi rolled violently manifesting outside his body as an invisible shield.

The attacks landed on him, but he emerged, unscathed.

After the evolution of the Spiritual Totem Technique to the Spiritual Overlord Technique, not only had the effect of the original techniques change, their power became two or even three times stronger.

With a few attacks, he took care of them, and stood still, looking at Baron Lombard with a 'what-are-you-gonna-do-next' expression.

Lombard's expression changed slightly, and he said.

"Little boy, didn't your parents teach you to respect the elderly?" He said, laughing out of anger.

"You know nothing about my parents." Leo's expression became cold.

"Anyways, DIE!" Lombard roared.

|2nd Grade Spell: Exploding Fireball|

With a wave of his hand, a fireball the size of a human head went towards Leo at twice the speed of a normal Fireball.

Leo's expression became stern, as he didn't try to block the attack of an Official Warlock.

Shifting his body, he easily dodged the attack and moved towards Lombard.

{SPIRITUAL OVERLORD TECHNIQUE - Ferocious Tiger: White Cloud Claw}

Leo's right hand surrounded by airflow bounded for Lombard.

Calmly, Lombard opened his arm.

|2nd Grade Spell: Wall Of Fire|

With a whoosh, flames appeared out of nowhere and formed two meter tall wall separating Lombard and Leo, and though the shield was smashed back into raw flames, it effectively blocked the attack.

But Lombard wasn't done yet.

|2nd Grade Spell: Flame Python|

The flames reformed into a terrifying three meters long flame python, and slithered in the air towards Leo. Lombard's expression was already showing some signs of strain.

Leo looked gravely at the incoming attack headed for him, but suddenly smiled.

{SPIRITUAL OVERLORD TECHNIQUE: Ferocious Tiger: Symphony of a Hundred Claws}

As Leo lightly tapped the air, up to a hundred Claws made of airflow appeared in the air.

With unstoppable momentum, they tore apart the incoming flame python, and closed in on Lombard's position.

At the critical moment, the second Official Warlock of the Lombard Family blocked the attack's path.

|2nd Grade Spell: Flame Swirl|

A swirl of flames, about one meter in diameter appeared in front of the man, trying to suck in the claws and destroy them.

And then...

There was no 'then'.

The power of Symphony of a Hundred Claws from the Spiritual Totem Technique was almost as much as that of Hundred Beast Tide from the Spiritual Totem Technique.

The man was ripped to pieces.

Though the attack did dissipate.

The slightly panting Leo shook his head slightly, feeling it was a pity that he hadn't taken out the fuming Baron.

"Brother! NO!" Lombard clenched his teeth, his eyes bursting with rage.

Apparently, the dead Warlock was his brother.

He turned to look at Leo.

"DAMN YOU!!!"

With a bang, he flashed towards Leo, leaving two footprints and pieces of his footwear in his original position. Leo's eyes narrowed as he prepared himself for another bout.

"Stop it now!" A commanding voice could be heard, as the two men who were about to clash were separated with a bang.

When the two regained their bearings, they could see a man standing in their original positions.

He was a middle aged man, but some parts of his hair was bluish-white, like frost.

Leo touched his chest, feeling a slight dull pain where the man had hit him. His eyes narrowed instantly.

"I think that's enough. People could get seriously hurt if you continue." The man said directly.

"He killed my brother, and crippled my son! He deserves to..." Lombard tried to explain.

"I know what happened." The man cut him off.

" But you have to stop fighting. If you continue being like this, don't blame me for making things difficult for you." The man said, the surrounding temperature getting several degrees lower.

Lombard gnashed his teeth with hatred and stared at Leo. If looks could kill, he would be long dead.

With no other choice, Lombard took his guards and left.

"Little Friend, you have really caused a lot of trouble." The man said with a slight smile.

"My apologies, Mr..." Leo tried to ascertain his identity.

"Kendrick, Kendrick Zimmerman. I am the mayor of Redstone City."
