265 Great Lord Yonder(III)
The middle-aged man frowned with an unsightly look on his face and impatiently said: “It is not an intruder. Just a new person who was being led by a group of Dungeon Hunters into the city. I haven’t seen him in Imperial City before, so I want you to find out who he is. Check all the records of those that entered the city today to find anyone who meets such criteria and report back to me. For now, forget about your guard duties and carry on this task for me.”
The guard felt immediately embarrassed when he heard the refutation and correction from the middle-aged man, but he resolutely and fervently responded: “Leave it to me, Great Lord Yonder! I will see to it right away!”
The guard bowed and immediately turned around and briskly walked away in the same direction he came from. Except, this time, he was picking up his pace to leave the mansion of the middle-aged man, rather than remain there to guard the entrance to the underground facility. He was initially tasked with protecting the entire mansion of the middle-aged man to make sure no one came any closer to disturb the middle-aged man as he carried out his experiments.
After he left the middle-aged man’s residential area, he made his way to the Dungeon Exploration Occupation Society, as that was the place most Dungeon Hunters check in their information when they first arrive at the Imperial City.
On the other hand.
After the guard left the vicinity of the residence, the middle-aged man displayed a sinister smile and said with anticipation: “If that person carries some secrets within his body, I would like to find them out slowly by torturing him. It’s been a while since I was this excited about a new specimen. I should end my activities for today. The results were terrible, anyway.”
He had been staying in this world for many decades, slowly influencing the history and civilization of this world behind the scenes. Even the Royal Family are at his beck and call because of his immense influence on them. However, lately, he was getting bored with everything, as he couldn’t find anything new that could completely excite his interest in this boring world.
Just when he was thinking of finding a reason to get more specimens, a new and attractive specimen with unknown factors had shown itself at his doorstep. So how could he not be excited about the prospects of these unknown factors?
He was someone that liked to seek out the truth behind everything that he couldn’t comprehend at first glance. As such, this time wouldn’t be any different from other times. He just hopes that this person does not possess any unnecessary background that would impede his advances.
.....
With that in mind, his sour mood was enlivened and full of anticipation.
Standing there, he thought for a bit, and with a casual wave of his hand, the space fluctuated for an instant. Within that instant, all the amputated limbs on the ground and the bodies of the dismembered captives were turned into dust. Only a single teenage girl remained in the room. She was still crucified on a wooden beam erected in the bloody room.
"Hmm… So you’re the lucky one today. In that case, I will personally relieve you of suffering the same torture as your friend and set you free without any of the painful memories.”
By ‘friend’, he was talking about the teenage boy that he was torturing and mutilating just now. Though that teenage boy and everyone else in the room aside from her got turned into dust from his disintegration spell just now, the gory appearance of the room was still the same.
Meanwhile, the teenage girl couldn’t say anything in response to his words. Instead, she stared blankly ahead when she saw the teenage boy turn into dust right in front of her. She looked as if she had lost her soul.
Seeing her like this, seeming as though she was devoid of life, the middle-aged man frowned and said angrily: “Ungrateful little girl. To think I was taking pity on a lost soul. Then you shall die like everyone else.”
The middle-aged man tapped her forehead and she instantly turned into a puddle of blood and bits of flesh. She couldn’t even scream from the sudden excruciating pain before she died instantly from the middle-aged man’s touch.
Then with a quick grab in the air, something escaped her liquefied body and landed in the middle-aged man’s grasp. Its appearance was almost imperceptible, as it was illusory and couldn’t be seen with the naked eyes.
However, as soon as it was trapped within a circular barrier formed by the middle-aged man, it appeared as though it was misty fog, as it swirled around inside the circular barrier. The circular barrier was spherical and was about the size of a baseball, but its color was blue and visually translucent.
"Because of her state before death, the quality of the extracted essence is better, but the quantity is still little to be of use by itself. Regardless, this gain is better than nothing.” The middle-aged man muttered as he reached into the void of space again and placed the circular sphere of misty fog away along with countless others of the same size.
For the next while, he stood there staring in the direction of the Royal Castle with his expressionless countenance, deeply lost in thought.
At some point, the guard returned with news from the Dungeon Exploration Occupation Society. He immediately reported everything he found to the middle-aged man.
"Great Lord Yonder, that was all I could uncover from the Society.”

"You mean to tell me that this person didn’t immediately go to report in at the Society and instead hurried to the Gladiator Coliseum to have a match?”
"That is indeed what I’ve heard from one of his guides.”
"How interesting… To immediately seek to visit the Gladiator Coliseum upon his arrival in the city instead of reporting in at the Society? Perhaps, he is one of those trying to assimilate with the so-called attribute power acquired from the dungeon by using the Gladiator Coliseum?”
"That is what I thought of as well. But something else was strange about this person.”
"What was strange?”
"He just recently registered in Alpheotus City to become a Dungeon Hunter. However, within a short span of a few days, he had already increased his Dungeon Hunter Rank to B.”
"Hoo…Is that so? He is quite an amusing person.”
"That’s right, it is strange that… Eh? Amusing, you say, Great Lord?”
"Isn’t it? To be able to obtain such a rank means he was originally strong enough to receive such a rank. That Dungeon Hunter’s registration was merely a formality, but it was likewise a necessary method to declare his existence. Isn’t that amusing?”
"That’s The guard was left puzzled by his words. He couldn’t figure out what he was thinking of at this moment to find that amusing.
"Anyway, you can go back now. I will be leaving this place as well.” The middle-aged man said to him.
The guard thought of something and tentatively spoke: “Is the Great Lord perhaps thinking about
"Yes. I would like to see this person for myself before anything else. Perhaps, he would be pivotal to ending the war with the demons. Based on what you said, he looks quite promising as a possible recruit.” The middle-aged man confirmed with a profound grin on his face, causing the guard to shudder for some inexplicable reason.
"I-Is that so The guard then said: “However, if the Great Lord says so, then it must be true. I shall take my leave now. I would have to report this great news to His Majesty on behalf of the Great Lord.”
The middle-aged man nodded satisfactorily with the profound grin still on his face: “Do so.”
With that statement from the middle-aged man, the guard quickly left the underground facility, departing from the mansion entirely. After leaving the mansion, he then began to accelerate his movement as he headed in the direction of the Royal Castle Building that was only a few hundred miles away.
With his current top speed, he would make it there within 2 hours. That was considerably fast. After all, it usually takes about a week of normal travel to reach the Royal Family’s territory from their current location.
Though, with a speed-type magical beast, it would only take about an hour to get there. Furthermore, this showed how powerful, or rather, how fast the guard’s movement speed was when he did not even have a magical beast’s stamina.
On that topic, it actually only took the guard about 30 minutes to get to the Imperial City, as teleportation was minimally allowed within the city, but the same cannot be done within the vicinity of the Royal Capital for safety reasons. Furthermore, from their current location, the distance to the Royal Castle Building was farther than the distance to the Imperial City.
Thus, the silver-armored guard continued to speed up as the sun reflected on his shining armor, and very soon, his figure could no longer be seen within the vicinity of the mansion.
Although he had already traveled a considerable distance away from the middle-aged man’s mansion, his speed did not seem to be decreasing. Instead, he was speeding up as he gained momentum.
