Chapter 112: Yokbo?


    Adam knew perfectly well that if he was hit by this attack, he would definitely die. He tried to move away, but found out his body had frozen, he couldn''t move at all. The sword, before even descending onto them, had made all resistance useless.


    Adam tried to send Neith into his Pet Space, and was relieved to see this wasn''t blocked. But even though she was saved, Adam and Yokgu were about to die.


    But as the sword was about to hit them, a metallic shield appeared above them. The sword struck against the shield with an incredible strength, and the two felt the ground shake and the earth around them was split open.


    "Never would I have thought I would meet you here." The shield above Adam and Neith disappeared, and they understood it was only an Aura materialization, a skill.


    Above them, an orc appeared in front of the ck figure. The ck figure, who had been silent up until now, asked "Why are you stopping me?"


    The orc grinned and replied "Boy, you just tried to kill our Sovereign. I don''t care whether you are from ckheart Mountain, you better run."


    The orc hadn''t even finished his sentence that the ck figure hurriedly flew away, but the orc didn''t look like he wanted to let her go. A gigantic palm of fire appeared in the sky, it was so big that Adam couldn''t even see both ends.


    The palm fell down with an incredible speed and smashed the ck figure into the ground, and ttened the desert around them.


    Yokgu looked up at the orc and said with a small voice "Grandpa?"


    Adam was awestruck by the power disyed by this orc, and hurriedly looked at his status.


    [Yog] (Legend, Level 230)


    ??/??


    This was to be expected, thought Adam. Only a Legend could show such power, and it probably wasn''t even his limit. Also, before he had panicked because the situation was so sudden, but it was obvious the orcs wouldn''t just let Yokgu go on his own in the wild, with no protection.


    Adam wanted to thank the old orc when he saw something surprising in the distance. The ck figure who had been ttened against the sand of the desert actually got up; The figure immediately took the sky, whether it was to flee or because the sand was burning intensely.


    But as the figure escaped Yog didn''t look like he wanted the figure to escape, and he unsheathed his broad axe, and shed toward the assassin.


    A giant flying sh of fire that was thousands of meters tall exited the axe and traveled through the air, the extreme heat of the flying sh was evaporating some of the sand it went next to, and the air itself was starting to burn around the flying sh.


    The ck figure knew he wouldn''t be able to dodge this attack, so he turned around and shed out too, sending a red flying sh. This flying sh was dwarfed by the giant ming one, and so it barely did anything to the giant flying sh when it hit it.


    However, although itcked power, it was followed by multiple other red shes, which weakened the giant ming sh, but didn''t disperse it.


    When the ck figure was hit by the ming sh, he allowed himself to be hit and used the strength of the attack to fly at an even faster speed. However, it also destroyed a part of the figure''s armor, as well as his mask.


    When Adam briefly saw the face underneath the mask, he realized this wasn''t a he, but a she. A beautiful she.


    But then she flew off at top speed, disappearing from his sight. Yog looked ready to follow her, but tens of smaller red flying shes appeared all around them, not targeting Yog but Yokgu and Adam.


    Yog scoffed and dispersed the attacks effortlessly, but this allowed the woman to go even farther in the distance. Yog hesitated to follow, but he looked at Yokgu and decided that chasing the assassin wasn''t worth it.


    Now that they were safe, Yokgu approached his grandfather and said "You were following me?" Yog crossed his arms and said "It''s a coincidence we met." Yokgu rolled his eyes at his grandfather''s shamelessness, and knowing he would be able to make him admit anything he turned back toward Adam and said "Grandpa, this is the Aqua Sovereign, Adam I believe his name is."


    Adam cupped his fists and said with a short bow "It is a pleasure to meet you." Yog nodded to Adam and said "Had you been any other Northman, I wouldn''t even speak to you, but you are different, aren''t you?"


    Adam nodded, thinking the Legend was talking about the fact he was a yer, but Yog surprised him when he asked "How is Yokbo doing?"


    Yokgu looked at Adam with wonder and asked "You know Yokbo?"


    Adam frowned and asked "Who is Yokbo?" Yog scratched his head for a second before he eximed "Right, he changed his name! Baugh, how he is doing?"


    Adam raised an eyebrow and said "He is doing well, he entered my guild and he is one of my Division Leaders. Is he part of your n?"


    Yokgu asked back "He is, he didn''t tell you?" Adam shook his head and said "I knew he wanted to avoid Yam, but he didn''t say way, and I didn''t press him. Why is he running away from your n?"


    Yog looked like he wanted to avoid the question, but Yokgu said without hesitation "Our n is split in multiple branches, and he, like myself, is from the main lineage. A lot is expected out of us, and even more so since I appeared. But Yokbo was never really talented, and he went through hard things."


    Adam frowned and said "What did you do to him to make him flee to the enemy empire and change his name?"


    Yokgu was about to reply, but Yog shut him up with a nce, and he then asked "What would you do, if we wronged him? If he was humiliated by his peers? If he went through a deep trauma in the n in the n that he may never recover from?"


    Adam''s frown hardened as he heard the question. Although this was a question, Adam didn''t need to be incredibly intelligent to understand what Yog was really saying.


    He said "I would first tell you that Yokgu is much stronger than you think. Then, I would warn you. He is one of my Division Leaders, one of my most precious subordinates, and he is at the same rank as my disciples in my heart, so if he asks me, I won''t even hesitate to wipe out your n or even your whole empire in the future."


    Adam''s rational mind was kicking his rash mind so hard that Adam was literally starting to get a headache, but he didn''t care, he let his emotions speak.


    Yokgu was looking at Adam shocked, and Yog said with squinted eyes "Are you really the Aqua Sovereign? You are quite fiery for someone attuned to water If I were you, I would watch my mouth when I talked to people who can kill you with a breath."


    Adam replied "I am grateful to you for saving me from that assassin, but don''t even think of pressuring me. You might be stronger than me for now, that won''t be the case forever."


    Finally, Yog let out a small smile as he said "You should check out your constitution, you might be surprised I am relieved Yokbo found such a person to follow, you might be the one needed to change his destiny. When you see him, tell him the Yok n will forever be his home."


    Yog sighed, he looked like he was lost in his memories. After a few seconds, he grabbed Yokgu''s shoulder and said "As for you, you are wee toe in Yam any time you want."


    After he said his piece Yog disappeared alongside Yokgu, leaving a golden coin behind. This coin wasn''t a normal Gold Coin, as it was a few times bigger, and a me was engraved on one side, and an axe on the other side.
