"Ah! Aaaaaah!!"
Flender felt cold, not just his body but his soul too.
Flender, who had been full of fiery rage and intent on destroying everything, was now deflated. His incredibly tough Tinder Robe was in tatters, one of his flying boots was gone, and even his most prized Holy Fire Staff was now in the hand of the person before him, twirling between fingers like a pencil.
"What are you screaming for?! Scream again and I'll throw you down."
Mo Shuying wasn't about to be polite to these invaders. The person before him was from the so-called Barthomeloi Family, and frankly, he didn't look like much. One punch from Mo Shuying had left him in this state.
"Mercy! Mercy! Please! You! You, you! I'll give, give, give you anything you want!"
Flender was utterly terrified. At this point, who cared if he was from the noble Barthomeloi Family? Staying alive was paramount!
"You'll give me anything I want? Really?"
Mo Shuying showed a playful expression. Flender swallowed hard, tried to nod, but found his head wouldn't move. In the end, only the part of his body below his neck twitched, signifying a nod.
"Excellent!"
Mo Shuying smiled, then spoke.
"Since you've said so, it would be rude of me not to take something from you. How about this, I'll just take your life."
With that, Mo Shuying loosened his grip, and Flender plummeted!
"Aaaaaaaah!!"
Flender screamed as he fell. The single flying boot couldn't manage Flender's sturdy physique, but it could slow his descent.
Flender struggled to control his balance and speed, sneaking a glance at Mo Shuying, who hadn't given chase.
This gave Flender hope!
As long as he wasn't killed on the spot, he could use Magecraft to teleport himself away!
Though he couldn't choose where he'd go, it was better than plummeting to his death or waiting to die here!
So!
"Just you wait!!"
Flender crossed his arms, a mark glowing on each wrist, overlapping to form a spell! Then!
*Boom!*
A fiery red teleportation array quickly appeared, on the verge of whisking Flender away.
*Whoosh!*
A fiery arrow shot through the air, striking Flender directly in the chest! It blew a large hole through him, and the teleportation array behind him shattered.
"No…"
He uttered a single word, filled with unwillingness, but it was his last bit of strength. His eyes wide, he could only fall from the sky.
*Whoosh!*
Flender, still staring in disbelief, fell past Mujik. Mujik's hand trembled. He suddenly regretted everything. Why had he, in a moment of madness, bought Chaldea? And why, in another moment of madness, had he come here to "reclaim" it?! What was he thinking?? Did he really believe his 100-plus Homunculi could "reclaim" such a powerful force?
His only thought now was to return immediately! He didn't want it anymore! Chaldea, no matter how good, wasn't worth his life! He'd go back and see if he could get some money from the Association, just say he didn't want it anymore, whoever wanted it could have it! How much he got back didn't matter, the main thing was he didn't like cold places!
However.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Mo Shuying spread his wings and floated beside Mujik. His black wings appeared even more mysterious in the night, and his cold gaze made Mujik think the God of Death had arrived!
"Um… We didn't cross that arrow! I swear we just came to enjoy the scenery, do you believe me?"
Mujik swallowed hard, watching Mo Shuying, terrified Mo Shuying would throw him down too.
"I believe you!"
But Mo Shuying's answer was surprising. Mujik was stunned, thrown off by Mo Shuying's trust. But then.
"However, that arrow is gone now, so if I say you crossed it, you crossed it, understand?"
Mo Shuying flashed a brilliant smile! Full of pure mischief! It sent shivers down Mujik's spine!
Just as Mujik felt he was doomed!
"Master! Run!"
Mujik's maid suddenly acted! She stood in front of Mujik and threw several silver knives and forks with her bare hands!
Not just the maid, most of the other Homunculi attacked Mo Shuying! The remaining 20 Homunculi protected Mujik and turned to flee!
"Run? Can you escape?"
Mo Shuying's wings extended behind him, deflecting all incoming attacks! At the same time, a black flame skeleton materialized behind Mo Shuying! In a flash, it transformed into a 20-meter giant! With fiery wings on its back! And a flaming sword in its hand! It brought the sword down towards Mujik's position!
Facing such an attack, such power! Mujik instantly understood that his chances of escaping were slim, even smaller than his chances of becoming a handsome young man overnight.
He truly was the head of a family; his mind was sharp. In this moment of life and death, he thought of many things, then!
"We surrender!!"
A resolute shout! The flaming greatsword instantly stopped above their heads. The heat from the flames washed over them, but Mujik knew he had gambled and won!
"Surrender?"
Mo Shuying looked at Mujik, a little surprised. Was he giving up that easily? Shouldn't he resist a bit more?
"Yes! We surrender! Please, Lord, stop attacking. We will surrender ourselves immediately."
As soon as Mujik finished speaking, he shouted at the numerous Homunculi.
"No one is to attack anymore! Even if I'm killed, none of you are to attack! This is an order! Do you hear me?!"
"..."
The Homunculi couldn't disobey Mujik's orders. Although they still felt like loyal ministers fighting to the death while their king surrendered, they stopped attacking.
"Interesting."
Mo Shuying looked at Mujik with newfound respect. This guy really isn't just good at driving.
"Since you've surrendered, we at Chaldea treat prisoners well. Come on, everyone, get on."
Mo Shuying controlled the skeletal giant to extend its hands, letting the Homunculi stand on its palms and arms.
Mujik also found a spot, jumping onto a palm. Then, he and Mo Shuying returned to the mountain peak together.
They quickly reached the peak, where everyone had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as Mujik got up, he saw a group of Servants and suddenly felt that he had finally made a decisive and correct decision. It was absolutely the right choice not to court death!
"I'm back, Romani. Send some people down to collect their equipment. It should all be valuable stuff."
Chaldea currently had no source of income, so reselling equipment seemed like a good business.
"Alright, Gilbert, you lead the team to collect. And what do you want to do with these people? Kill them or release them?"
Romani looked at Mujik and his Homunculi.
Stared at by Romani, who could shout an avalanche into being, Mujik felt immense pressure. Mo Shuying, hearing Romani's question, smiled and said,
"That depends on this guy's performance."
Mujik: "..."
