The Lord Is Too Overbearing-Chapter 102 They Choose Their Path, He Creates His Path (End)

"What are you doing?!" Eugene exclaimed incredulously at Basil.

Basil didn't give him any response, other than activating his Magic Circles.

Boom!

His three Magic Circles shone intensely, and the surrounding area was quickly overwhelmed by Mana.

"Tsk! This lad has lost his sense!" Eugene couldn't help but cursing inwardly.

The Battle would be life and death. Either he would lose his life, or he would kill Basil. Those were the only outcome. Not even the Magic Institute's countless of Runes could intervene their battle inside this accursed dome.

Eugene activated his Magic Circles.

Boom!

Four Magic Circles floated behind his back. Three of them were Grand Circle, while the last one was a Major Circle. Needless to say, Eugene was a rare talent amongst commoners.

"You have made a wrong decision, Basil Pacifer! Today will be your last day!" Eugene extended his hand, and a Grimoire appeared.

Basil didn't plan to stay idle. He swung Kusanagi horizontally, and a big wind blade was sent at Eugene. Not stopping there, he made a whirlwind with the help of Kusanagi, before setting it on fire.

Then, he spread it forward.

Boom!

The surrounding area was quickly engulfed with fire.

"Darn it! Does this lad have limitless Mana?!"

Eugene was frantically casting his Defense Spell. Befitting of a genius, he managed to cast it quickly. Surely, he didn't stay idle either. He was moving here and there to avoid Basil's attack. The Defense Spell was merely a precaution.

Flash!

In the middle of the chaos, Basil sped through the ground like a flash. The fire carried by the whirlwind burned the ground, and decorated the area with a bright red light.

While Eugene was safe due to his Defense Spell, not a part of Basil was touched by the fire.

Screech!

Wind blades surrounded Basil in a sphere shape. Eugene was already close to him, and he was also ready to attack Basil with his own Spell.

"[Lightning Spear]!" Eugene exclaimed.

Electricity sparkled in Eugene's hand, before a lightning spear appeared. Quickly aiming it at Basil, he threw it to Basil.

Screech!

The wind blades surrounding Basil moved even faster. Not long after, a sparkle of electricity could be seen frolicking around the wind sphere.

When Eugene's lightning spear made a contact with the wind sphere, it was instantly dispersed by the sphere, much to Eugene's bewilderment.

"What the?!"

"Air friction can produce electricity, imbecile." Basil muttered coldly.

Eugene was even more bewildered, when Basil suddenly appeared in front of him. Uncaring to him, Basil quickly swung Kusanagi, and it was quickly approaching Eugene's neck. However, that was also when a surprising thing happened.

Rumble!

Basil could only hear a thunder, before Eugene disappeared from his view. In result, Kusanagi struck the air.

BOOM!

Surely, it didn't mean nothing happened. The ground in front of Basil was completely blown away. In result, a long and deep hole was created on the ground.

Basil turned his body to face the direction where Eugene had reappeared. He knew what Eugene was using. It was a Lightning Element Spell that allowed the user to move instantly, [Thunderclap]. The only downside of it was the noise it left. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

"You are indeed a fearsome opponent, Basil." Eugene said from afar. Countless of lightning spears were floating behind him. "But, you can't even know your limit. I completely outclass you, yet you dare to challenge me? Ridiculous!"

"Are you talking about the amount of Magic Circles?" Basil activated his Aura, and 40 weapons of all kinds floated behind him. "Unfortunately to you, I am a firm believer of quality over quantity."

Eugene snorted. "Die!" He sent the lightning spears forward.

Surely, Basil sent the weapons he was controlling forward too. In result, every lightning spears heading his way were hitting the weapons instead.

It is the rule of the world. Lighting is attracted to metal.

Dash!

Basil activated his Step Art and Movement Technique consequentially. He was speeding toward Eugene even faster than a bullet. Surely, Eugene didn't plan to stay idle either. He quickly casted [Thunderclap], and moved away from Basil.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The area that was encapsulated by the dome was sparkling. A loud explosion would occur almost constantly, and the ground would be excavated from time to time.

All of it was caused by the fight of two people.

A future betrayal, and his victim from the past.

...

Outside.

Iliana was concentrating on the dome that was encapsulating Basil and Eugene.

Right after Basil had activated the Spell, she had quickly run to call Lawson and notify and the Council. In result, they were all there to break the Spell.

"Darn! What caused that boy to do a [Blood Decree]?" Lawson cursed audibly. Surrounding him were Iliana and five students from the Council. "Mr. Lawson, this is impossible to be broken. It's too complex!"

Lawson could only grunt as a response. He was also trying his best infusing his Mana to disintegrate the core formula forming the Spell. Still, he couldn't find it. It was as if the world was purposefully preventing him to find it.

"Master!" Iliana called. "Let's break it!"

"No, we can't! We will kill the caster if we do so. In other words, Basil will die!"

"He won't!"

Lawson turned his gaze to Iliana, and the other students from the Council were too. The Council's current President, Darius Ashbury stared at Iliana seriously.

"What are you talking about Iliana? You are risking the life of two people!"

"Trust me!" Iliana answered resolutely.

Darius kept staring at Iliana, while still trying his best to dissolve the dome. In the end, he sighed, and turned his head at Lawson.

"Master. Let's try it."

"Darius, even you?" Lawson looked at Darius incredulously.

Still, in the end, he nodded his head helplessly. He couldn't help it. Although he had said breaking [Blood Decree] forcefully would kill the caster, in truth, it wasn't.

However, more often than not, the caster was dead after it was forcefully broken. That was his reason for saying it.

"Prepare your attack! We will pierce the dome with our concentrated Mana!" Lawson ordered.

Different from a Magic Barrier, they couldn't destroy the dome with Spell. They had to condense their Mana, and pierced it in the same point. If they were to attack it with Spell, the unexpecting Basil and Eugene would be swept away in the attack, and met their demise.

"On my count! One, two, three. Infuse!"

Boom!

A ridiculous amount of Mana overwhelmed the area. It was to the point where everyone outside of the Training Field entered in curiosity. Surely enough, upon entering, they were bewildered with what they were seeing.

A red dome encapsulated half of the Training Field, and everyone from the Council along with Lawson were surrounding it. Surely, they could instantly figure out what was happening. Someone was doing the forbidden [Blood Decree].

It was also at that moment, when the red dome bloated and shrinking, before eventually exploded.

Boom!

A wave of Mana swept over the onlookers. Many of the curious students were knocked on their butt, due to the wave. Surely, everyone from the Council remained rooted to the ground.

When they could finally see the scene inside the dome, their heart instantly sank to the bottom of their stomach.

Deep trenches, and holes decorated the charred ground. Signs of explosion could be even seen almost everywhere.

Quickly, they searched the people who had caused the scene. Eugene was sprawled on the ground with torn uniforms, and countless of open wounds. He was perfectly covered in blood.

In the other hand, Basil stood with Kusanagi as his support, nothing but some scratches on his skin. However, he was experiencing the backlash of his [Blood Decree] forceful annulation. He was clutching his chest, while blood was dripping from his mouth

When everyone from the Council saw the two of them were still breathing, they heaved a sigh of relief. That was until Basil suddenly righted himself up — much to their utter bafflement — and swung Kusanagi at Eugene.

"Basil!"

Iliana teleported beside Basil, and intercepted Kusanagi.

Clank!

Boom!

Even if she managed to intercept Kusanagi, it didn't stop the ground below from getting destroyed. Luckily, Iliana had kicked Eugene far away from the ground impacted by Basil's casual swing. Thus, he was safe.

"What are you doing?" Basil quirked an eyebrow.

"Stop it."

"Death is the part of life. One shall not deny it."

"Sil!" Iliana stared at Basil sternly.

Basil's mouth turned into a thin line. He gazed at Iliana incomprehensibly, and Iliana received that gaze unwaveringly. She thought Basil was angry with her, but she didn't mind. Surely, she completely misunderstood it.

Basil was just bitter inwardly. Here, he was trying to eliminate a future problem, and everyone was stopping him. Even Iliana who had been troubled the most in the past by the bastard he was about to kill was stopping him.

"Put down your sword." Iliana stored her Magic Sword, and slowly pushed down Basil's hand that was holding Kusanagi.

Fortunately, Basil just let her did it. When Basil had completely laid his hand down, Iliana hugged him tightly. She didn't want Basil to feel guilty over his action. Therefore, she hugged him to show she was on his side.

"Eugene is the representative youth of the Church. No matter how punchable his face is, you can not take his head in Randalvine. The consequence of provoking the Church is severe." Iliana looked up to Basil.

Basil faced down, and Iliana could see the scratch on his forehead slowly stitching itself back together. What a magnificent scene to watch, and yet her attention wasn't on it. She was captivated by his shining golden eyes.

"Your eyes..."

"Once, a wise woman told me, 'Mortal choose, while a god creates. In life, be the god. Let others choose their path, and you create your own.' Am I not allowed to do it?" Basil muttered softly.

"Of course you are allowed. However, the current you are not creating your own path. You are merely walking the path people avoid. I don't know what is your grudge with him. But, everything has its time. You don't need to rush."

"Time, huh?" Basil hummed. "I guess you are right."

Iliana didn't say anything. She merely tightened her hug. Sadly, Basil was thinking of the opposite thing she had meant.

Time. Basil had no time. He merely had the perfect occasion.

Eugene was currently saved by the circumstance. However, his luck would soon run out.

Obelisk of Dantalion's outbreak was closing. When the time came, Basil would definitely use that occasion to cut Eugene's head.

When people weren't giving him chance, he would make the chance.

People often only see the paths that are presented in front of them. Therefore, they can only choose. However, Basil was different.

When they choose their path, he creates his path.
