Chapter 293 - On His Way Back

When Cecil exited from his tent a few hours later, he was unknowingly releasing his killing intent all around him.

The pressure that engulfed his surroundings caused all the small insects and animals to quiet down as they prostrated in fear at the human.

Silver and Yuna who were hugging each other intimately by the campfire was and publicly displaying their affection for each other were startled at the fierce killing intent radiating from Cecil.

Ren had learned how to handle Cecil's Weapon Intent to some degree through training, but he couldn't withstand his unbridled pressure which Cecil was currently releasing. Silver immediately rushed out of Yuna's embrace and arrived by his Master's side and worriedly asked,

"Master, w-what's wrong?!"

"We're heading back..." Cecil calmly replied. He tried to reel in the rage and killing intent he was radiating, but this only caused Silver to gulp nervously. If his master was angry and he was outwardly displaying his displeasure, then all was good.

However, once his Master tried to reel in his anger and keep it bottled up inside him then that was just a recipe for disaster. His Master, Cecil, was a ticking time-bomb just waiting to explode right now.

"Master, at least tell me what's wrong! We're only half a week or so away from Revertia!"

"Forget about Revertia, Lulu and Serilla are in danger..."

"But...what about—"

"Speak no more, Silver, our family's not there, they're all somewhere in Regulus."

Once Cecil reeled in all his anger, his face became apathetic and indifferent.

"Did... you use Providence Master?"

Cecil only nodded and began packing away his tent and checking on his sword and the bullets strapped to his waist.

"Alright, then Master, should we fly back?"

"No, we'll use the Misty Gate."

"Alright, Big Sis, can you manage a teleport gate from here back to Regulus?" Silver turned around and asked.

"We'll need to jump a few times and rest in between teleports. My mana and mind can't handle the distance needed to make a single gate from here back to Regulus."

"Alright, Yuna, we'll go at your pace," Cecil replied. He desperately wanted to rush back to Lucia and Serilla, but he wasn't so heartless as to force Yuna to open Misty Gates consecutively without rest.

Mana wasn't a problem for them since they had the Magi-Tech Battery, but if they overdraft Yuna's mind that'd be detrimental to her. Cecil also didn't have the heart to hurt Silver's precious person.

"How odd..." Yuna suddenly said in confusion.

"What's wrong?" Cecil asked.

"I... can't seem to connect properly with Master..."

"What do you mean?"

"Something is interfering with the connection, I can still establish our linked vision, but I can't properly see what Master is seeing...like everything is all blurred out."

"Then there's something disrupting mana over at Lulu and Seri's location," Cecil calmly analyzed.

His MID couldn't connect a call to Lucia or Serilla so Cecil figured that something was interfering with the mana in those two's locations since even Yuna's shared vision with Lucia was being interfered.

Also, the scene he saw in his vision was disturbing. Cecil wanted to let loose his rage, but he reeled it in and would take it all out on the bastard he saw in his vision.

'Whoever you are... you're dead, you dare to touch my woman...' Cecil gnashed his teeth in fury when he remembered the vision he saw earlier.

Once everyone had finished packing their things and was about to head off, a white carriage suddenly appeared in the distance, not that far away from Cecil and his group. The carriage was being chased by a large group of monsters.

Cecil wasn't a Samaritan, but he was angered right now and needed a place to vent. When he saw the monsters rushing at them from the distance, or more like chasing after the carriage, Cecil found a good thing to vent his anger on.

"Wait here...let me take care of those bugs..."

"Master Cecil! Shouldn't we—umph" Ren was trying to dissuade Cecil from helping the carriage, but Silver covered his mouth from speaking anymore. When he heard that Lucia and Serilla were in trouble, Ren also wanted to hurry up and head back.

Lately, he has been finding those two a little bit troublesome, but more than that, one was like an annoying, yet attentive older sister to him while the other was like a doting young mother, who also happened to be his first crush, so he wanted to hurry back and help them.

Silver stopped him from continuing his words because it was futile. His Master was angered and he could see and feel that through their bond and pact. Venting his anger was the only thing to do right now so that he wouldn't explode later and do something irrational.

"It'll only take a minute. In the meantime, Yuna, start focusing and gathering your mana for the Misty Gate. We leave once you're ready."

"As you wish," Yuna briefly replied before quickly concentrating her mind and mana on opening the Misty Gate.

Cecil readied his gun blade and socketed one of his bullets into the gun chamber. He raised his sword and took aim, the carriage driver was already heading their way and Cecil could see that the driver was trying to use them as a decoy to make a getaway.

Normally, Cecil wouldn't tolerate this, but he let this one slide because he needed someplace to vent. He could also see that the driver was apparently in conflict with the person riding the carriage. It seems like one of the passengers didn't want to drive their way and use them as a decoy.

'Alright, since you're so righteous, I guess I'll help you out.'

Cecil immediately fired his gun sword. The bullet shot forth and struck the ground just behind the carriage. A red-blue magic formation appeared on the ground and Lucia's Ice-Fire Barrier immediately appeared in the next instant.

Cecil emptied the cartridge from the chamber and prepped another bullet. He shot this one into the air and numerous Lava Bullets showered the monsters behind the Ice-Fire Barrier.

The carriage driver and the passengers inside were shocked at the sudden development. Being in his state of shock, the driver wasn't looking and the carriage was heading for a collision course with Cecil.

Cecil flashed past the carriage just before it hit him. From inside the carriage, a beautiful pair of eyes locked onto his side profile as he rushed by. A woman stuck her head out in the next moment and witnessed the absurd scene of Cecil single-handedly massacring the monsters behind them.

The carriage started slowing down before reaching a full stop and a few people stepped out of the carriage. The driver was worried and kept on urging the people who had just stepped down to quickly get back in, but they adamantly refused.

The woman who had stuck her head out earlier to take a look at Cecil was fervently staring at him as he flashed in between the monsters.

With each stroke of his sword a monster would fall. Cecil let loose all his pent up anger on the poor monsters, and he thoroughly wiped them out to the last creature. He finished off the runners with an Ascending Blade.

Once the job was finished, Cecil sheathed his sword and walked back towards Silver and the rest who were waiting for him, he saw that the Misty Gate was ready, but Yuna's face was a little pale.

As Cecil walked past the people who were near the carriage, the driver who seemed more like a guard placed a hand on his sword and vigilantly put up his guard. Cecil only glanced at him dismissively before continuing on his way. Before the guard-like man could stop her the woman from earlier immediately hopped next to him.

"Thank you, Sir!"

She looked quite young, probably around Lucia's age. She had beautiful blonde hair which was tied into pig-tails and left dangling above her chest and was half a head shorter than Cecil so she was pretty tall for a woman. She was a little lacking in the chest area compared to either of his wives, but her face and figure were on par with them at least.

From what Cecil could deduce from this young woman's attire, she was likely someone from high standing since there was some kind of crest decorating the mid-section of her white dress.

"You're welcome," Cecil responded before quickly making his way to Silver.

The woman was a little taken aback at his curt response, but immediately moved to catch up to him.

"Uhm, I'd like to thank you for the help! Are you busy?"

"No need, I have somewhere to be."

Another curt response, but this only caused the young woman's eyes to shine brightly.

"Where are you going?"

Cecil didn't respond and soon he made his way over to Silver and the others. The Misty Gate shocked the girl and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Is that a Spatial Gate?!"

Cecil only eyed the girl curiously. Not many people know what a Spatial Gate looks like. No one responded to the girl's exclamation, Silver and Yuna were the first to walk through the gate and Ren soon followed after them anxiously.

Cecil was just about to step through, but the girl grabbed onto his arm and immediately asked.

"Where are you going?"

"Can you let go?" Hearing his cold tone of voice, the girl immediately flinched and loosened her grip around his arm.

Once his arm was released, Cecil immediately stepped through the gate.

"C-Can I at least get your name?!"

"...Cecil."

The Misty Gate collapsed once Cecil made it through. On the other side, the young woman started mumbling Cecil's name over and over again before she started blushing and smiling happily.

"Missus, please don't just walk up to strangers like that!" The guard-like driver said in a hurry after the young woman walked back to the carriage.

The girl ignored the man and just walked into her carriage with a smile on her face. Her attendants looked at each other when they saw the good mood their young missus was in. They immediately filed into the carriage and once more took off onto the road.
