Avenger From Another World

Xiao and Lars were surrounded by guards, their lance was pointing at the two of them, ready to let out a thrust if any one of them do any sudden movements.

Xiao and Lars were inside an audience room. Away from Xiao and Lars were tons of people shocked by their appearance, most of them look the same to Xiao, except a group of people who were standing at the centre of the room.

Within that group, the first one who spoke in a loud and wild manner was a Human race young man, he has a tall, strong muscular physique and a brownish skin, most of his clothing was dye in red as he was wearing some kind of traditional clothing, with a simple sleeveless vest, a knee-length pant and a leather sandal. The most of unique part of his appearance was his crimson spiky hair, combine with everything he had, his looks can be described as a burning fire with a will.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! What're the guardsmen doing outside?! How the hell did they get in here?!"

The crimson hair young man shouted angrily to Xiao and Lars as he turns his head and look at them.

"Looks like something interesting is about to happen! Hehehe!"

A young girl with a lion ear and tail, and a gold-yellow messy shoulder-length hair spoke out playfully, compared to the crimson hair young man, she was much smaller in physical size. She was a Half Beast young girl who age around 12 to 13 years old, her clothing consists of a jacket with a hoody, fingerless gloves, a short pant and iron leather boots, and the colour scheme was a combination of white and yellow, which kind of presented herself like a cute little lion.

"I hope....nothing big....is going on."

The next one who spoke out timidly was a Dwarf man standing next to the young girl, he wore a full set armour, which not only covered his whole body, but also his face as he was also wearing a helmet. The bronze amour that he had donned gave off a fierce and menacing aura, that is, if he didn't say anything.

"So this is the security level of the Human race country, weak."

And the last one in the group who spoke out with an arrogant yet carried an elegant tone was a High Elf young lady, not only she possesses the grace and elegance of a High Elf race, hers was the next level of it, with a model like body proportion, fair skin and a blond long ponytail that ties with a blue ribbon. The High Elf young lady was donned in silver-white body armour with a cape, short battle skirt and a pair of silver iron boots.

These were the four people who voices out their comment first after Xiao and Lars busted into the audience room, which gave a strong impression to Xiao as each of them gave out a strong presence of aura compared to the rest of the people in the room.

(Judging by the position they stand and the impression they gave out, I think I know who they are now.....but now is not the time to be looking at others, what am I going to do to break away from this situation?!)

Xiao was shaking in fear as the guards who surrounded them were getting closer and closer, while Lars was laughing like a maniac, as if he had completely ignored the existence of the guards.

"Hold on, general Blake, tell your men to stand down first."

Suddenly, a voice calls out at the far end of the room, it was a voice that carries a calm yet confident tone.

"But supreme pontiff, he is the exiled mad man, Lars Leo, for the safety of all people in this room, I need to apprehend him immediately and kick him out of this country."

The one that called general Blake was the man who gave order to the guards, he was an old guy with a simple short hair cut, wrinkles and small scars can be spotted on his face, he gave off the impression of a guy who had survived from tons of wars and battles, a stoic and no-bullshit guy.

"It's okay, general Blake, I believe Lars has an important reason for coming to here, and he was once our own too, so please, let him state his business."

At first, general Blake hesitated by the man's order, but then he decided to follow his order as he ordered the guards surrounded Xiao and Lars to stand down.

"Stand down men!"

The guards react instantly as they pulled back their lance and return to their position, leaving a relieved Xiao and an unfazed Lars.

"Oh my, oh my, as graceful as before, as almighty as always, the great pope of the Julian Empire, Baton Messiah, how're you doing buddy? Hehe."

Not only was Lars not affect by the threatening of the guards, after the guards stand down, he sarcastically makes a bow to the man who ordered general Blake while also playfully addressed him.

Lars disrespectful action has earned him glares and whispering mocking from the crowd, and general Blake was about to order his men to take action once more, but he was stopped by the man who gave him order earlier again as he slowly walks down the 2 layer stairs.

(Such a beautiful looking man.)

This is what Xiao's thought the moment he saw the man, donned in a white and gold vestments and a golden staff at his right hand, his long golden hair that blew softly in the air while he was walking, he shows his slender hand to general Blake as to asked him to stand down, which also shown his fair skin, and when he was getting near to where Xiao is, Xiao noticed that he was quite tall, Xiao also stunned by how his facial feature looks as he looks feminine and handsome for the longer Xiao look at him. And finally, the aura he carried with him, even without the n.a.k.e.d eyes, Xiao can feel the pure and noble aura around him, as if it was out of this world.

The one Lars called the pope of the Julian Empire makes a polite smile and proceed to greet Lars in a calm manner.

"The former hero of lightning, Lars Leo, how good for you to join us on this wonderful occasion, how have you been? My friend."

"Still alive and s.u.c.k.i.n.g the air like drug, Hehe."

Although Lars replied his politely greeting with another playful tone, Pope Baton was not affected by him as he turns to look at Xiao.

"And looks like you bought a companion with you."

Pope Baton smile kindly to Xiao and proceed to makes a proper bow to Xiao before introducing himself.

"Looks like you're not from around here, then as a representative of the Julian Empire, I welcome you to our country, hope you have a wonderful time in our country so far, in the contradiction, forgive me for any unpleasant experience you had with the hospitality of our people, I'm the pope of this country, Baton Messiah, at your service."

Xiao was stunned by the politeness and sincerity shown by Pope Baton, it was so much different if he were to compare with Lars.

"Pray, introduce yourself to us, traveller from the far."

As Pope Baton asked Xiao politely, the crowd in the room also started to get interested on Xiao as Xiao can feel all their eyes were now glued on him, which started to trigger his trauma and causes him to tremble in fear and choke on his words.

As Xiao was trying his best to push back his trauma and speak out, Lars speaks out on behalf of Xiao without a warning.

"He is the Light hero candidate. Hehe."

The moment Lars finished his sentence, the crowd who were whispering among each other falls to a dead silent in an instant.

And the next moment, general Blake was the first one who shouted out in shock.

"IMPOSSIBLE! My team and I had confirmed the death of the candidate for the hero of Light!"

Lars makes a sinister grinning as he responds to general Blake and the crowd.

"Yes, and he, is the big brother of the candidate of the Light hero. Hehe."
