Unlike the earth where there are light pollution almost everywhere, the skies here are crystal clear. I can clearly see every beautiful stars at the skies, beautiful than ever. The ambience and atmosphere of the night, along with the calm noises. It gives me a feeling of peace.

"𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑠 𝑚𝑒 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝑔𝑙𝑎𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝐼 𝑔𝑜𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒... 𝑠𝑜...𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑓𝑢𝑙"

"Wait... if I've been using Quasil all this time, if I learn to use the inner force, then doesn't that mean I can become stronger?" I muttered to myself.

These thoughts suddenly appeared in my mind. If I learn inner force, my abilities might also rise siignificantly. Feeling excited, I adjusted my posture, sat crosswise, and closed my eyes.

"Normally, this would take me around 1-2 years to master. But since it has almost the same nature and principle as the quasil, albeit far inferior. I can easily master this in an hour."

...

After an hour...I've failed.

And I also found out that my inner force has already merged with the quasil a long time ago, I didn't know when this happened, but it kinda sucks.

After a few more minutes, I sensed some unfamiliar presence around us, they number around 30, 27 are normal soldiers while the other 3 are at the level of Heize. Two of the soldiers are farther from the encirclement. From the looks of it, it looks like they're the marksmen.

"We are surrounded." I muttered to myself.

If I were not here, this entire group is gonna get wiped out.

At that moment, I sensed mana enveloping the body of the enemies, after a few seconds, I felt that their strength increased tenfold.

"I think kagami-san showed me something like these last time, in fantasy worlds, this is what they call 'Body strengthening magic'." I said to myself as I remembered that time when my 'Otaku' subordinate showed me a strange show.

So this is how it works huh. If the geezers from Earth finds out about this. They're gonna go insane, a technique that can increase your abilities tenfold is something that they would gladly kill for.

Not wasting any time, I notified sier who is sitting at a tree stump below me.

"Sier" I called out to him.

"Yes, Lucas-sama?"

"We're surrounded. 8 on the west, 9 on the east, 6 on the north, and 5 on the south. South have 2 soldiers at the level of Heize-dono. 1 is sniping from from the hill, northeast from here, while the other is sniping from the that huge tree." I informed him as I pointed at a huge tree from the direction of south west.

"Eh? A-Are you sure about that, Lucas-sama?"

I jumped down from the roof and gave my orders

"Just do as I say, Wake up everyone and prepare." As I said these words, Heize came out of the carriage and backed my words.

"I don't know how the prince did it, but what he's saying is true. For now, I casted illusion magic around us to make it look like we're still resting. Now wake up the others and prepare for battle." Ordered Heize.

"Yes sir!"

"ALL FORCES, PREPARE FOR BATTLE!" Shouted Cier.

At that moment, all of them woke up instantly and without additional movements and questions, geared up for battle quickly.

"Despite their lacking abilities, they're prettywell trained." I muttered to myself.

"Heize-dono, please take care of the two snipers at the hill northeast and that huge tree southwest. The 38 soldiers will split up, 19 will handle the group at north, while the other half will take care of the group at south." I ordered in an intonationless voice, loud enough for everyone to hear.

"But Lucas-sama! How about the group at the west and east? Heize-dono will take out the two marksmen while we will handle the two sides. Don't tell me-"

Before one of the soldiers could finish his words, I sensed an arrow coming at him at a speed equal to the speed of a bullet. I could feel mana imbued within it, that must be what enabled it to travel at great speeds.

However, in front of me, this speed is just as slow as a snail. Before it it hit the soldier, I managed to grab it easily with my hands.

"T-This.."

"Was that arrow aimed at me just now!?"

"I-Isn't that the arrows of the archers from Jahal kingdom!?"

"It looks like the enemy saw through our illusion." I told everyone.

I looked at the arrow and found a paper attached to it. I opened it and read the contents.

"YOU WILL DIE." is what it said.

"Those bastards!"

The other soldiers fumed with anger when they saw the letter.

"You asked who will deal with the group in the east and west right?" I said to the soldier earlier.

After I spoke, I faced the huge tree at the southwest. With my eyes, I could see a hundred times better than the average human, I can also see things from a long distance clearly.

I aimed at the archer's left eye and threw back the arrow infused with quasil at him. The speed and power of the arrow is as strong as a sniper rifle. And with great accuracy, it pierced through his left eye.

"GAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!" We heard a loud shout coming from the tree.

The body fell from the tree and smashed into the ground. The paper with the threat letter slowly fell from the arrow and landed on his face, opened.

I looked back to the soldier and answered his question.

"I will deal with them." I said to him in a cold and intonationless voice. At that moment, I released the aura that I've been suppressing.

The soldiers were shaken at the sudden change but they didn't feel any fear. In fact, what they felt is awe. After a few moments, Heize spoke.

"Then we will entrust you with the west and east side, Lucas-sama. Everyone, protect the princess!"

"""""YES!""""

The soldiers in front of me quickly attacked, Heize who was left alone with me said something to me.

"Please take care of yourself, well then I'll be off."

"Heize, the person at the hill is the strongest of them all, be careful."

"Understood." He said to me as he bowed and quickly disapeared.

After all of them disappeared, I glanced at the sleeping girl inside the carriage from the window.

I drew out my sword and glanced at it.

"Let's go." I muttered to myself and I waited for the enemy from both sides to approach me. 8 came out from the west and 9 came out from the east. All of them are soldiers wearing chainmail with a long sword at their hand.

"Oh? why is there only one guard here?" said one of the soldiers.

"These idiots from the Elune kingdom must be underestimating us!"

"Oy look, that hair and eye color. Isn't he the rumored failed heir that they picked up from Hillian country?"

"Hahahaha! to think that an incompetent piece of cr*p is the only one protecting the princess right now, the idiots at Elune must be out of their minds."

"Hey, what are you gonna do? swing that sword at us like a sissy? or are you just gonna hide under the skirt of your sister? Your looks are the only thing you got going for you, I wonder what you would look like if we slashed that face of yours a hundred times?"

"""HAHAHAHAHA!"""

They all threw every kinds of insults at me, however, in my eyes, they're just a bunch of trash lower than the lowest. I couldn't care less about these kind of sh*ts.

"Are you done speaking?" I asked them as the aura around me grew denser and colder. Gradually making them feel my intense bloodlust.

"T-This is.."

"What the hell is this"

All of them shuddered, the moment I showed my killing intent. Most of them became paralyzed and some even wet themselves.

I stretched out my arm and swung the sword horizontaly at 15% of my power. All of them looked shocked at what I did and after a few seconds.

16 heads slid off from their necks and fell off to the ground. My face hardly showed any emotions throughout the process as if I'm just a killing machine.

I turned to look at the remaining soldier who has wet himself and is shaking intensely, his eyes looked as if he just met some kind of a monster. The despair and fear within him leaked out. If he didn't strengthen his body using magic, he might've died already. Not from the sword, but from the bloodlust that I'm currently emanating.

"P-P-P-Please, spare me!" He said to me as he crawled on four limbs while his face is rubbing the soil.

I looked around and saw a chain, I picked it up, handed it over to the soldier and said to him.

"Tie yourself up tightly and if you even try to escape..."

I purposely left my words unfinished and stared at him as if my gaze pierces his soul.

and with a voice sounding as if it came from the depths of hell, I said to him.

"YOU'RE GONNA WISH THAT YOU WERE NEVER BEEN BORN."
