Chapter 96: After The Fight

Lucas just looked at Ruby for a few seconds as she disconnected her arms from Lucas's.

"I don't see your fierce companion here." Ruby suddenly remarked.

Lucas shook his head. "She's not here. And by the way, you still didn't answer my question. Are you part of the Xiao family, or the five great families, Lady Ruby?"

Ruby shook her head as she scoffed over Lucas's speculation. It wasn't that insulting, but for Lucas, it was confusing just how she scoffed at it as if it was a joke.

"I am not part of that crappy circle. However, I have power, and a prominent one as well."

Lucas just snickered. "Yeah, with a tailor shop that disappears out of nowhere."

Ruby gave Lucas a sweet smile as she faced the city below. She breathed out, then started talking once more.

"I am powerful, but I am tired of it. That's why now I am only an owner of a tailor shop, Lucas." Ruby said, making Lucas snicker again.

"You said it. But I won't ask you again about it. It's just, I feel like we have a bond. Why is it?" Lucas asked.

"Well, because we're meant to be?" Ruby suddenly said, making Lucas remain silent for seconds.

"Don't joke like that. But, seriously, why do I feel confident with you? Even with Lady Yuna, as well?" Lucas mumbled to himself and waited for Ruby to reply. But when he looked at the location where Ruby was, she was gone.

"Where is she?" He mumbled but was cut off in the next second when Yuna suddenly called him.

"Brother Lucas, why are you here? There were still people waiting for you to become their acquaintance. How about entering back there?" Yuna asked.

Lucas faced her and then smiled. He was still feeling uncomfortable with those fake smiles inside. It was as if he didn't really want the negative energy he could get from facing those people.

And as much as he hated negotiations, Lucas wanted to stop thinking cunningly. At least he wanted to have a happy new life, not one full of politics. He just wanted to try new things that would not irritate him somehow.

However, he wanted to change his mindset. Those things that he disliked doing in the past, which meant limiting him from doing everything, will now be welcomed as he moves into another phase of his life.

"I am good. Instead, I would like to-!" 

Lucas was suddenly paused as he felt a tremendous pressure coming from the north that he seemed to be familiar with. He dazed off then unconsciously walked to the side of the terrace to look more closely at the location of the pressure.

Yuna, on the other hand, seemed to be aware of what was happening too. She looked at Lucas, who was slightly taken by the event.

She then said, "What do you think is happening, Brother Lucas? It felt like a fight just broke." 

Yuna was well aware of it. Not just she easily knew if there were fights, but also, she is well aware of the fact that the area around the sacred Land is a bit dangerous with plenty of fights.

However, fights like this aren't common. It was as if there were experts fighting nearby, which made her worry for the safety of everyone.

Lucas gritted his teeth when he remembered someone just in that direction. 

"Lukros..."

Lucas forgot to visit Lukros who was still in the forest where the location of the pressure coincidentally came from. And just not being complacent, he started floating, making Yuna ask him.

"Where are you going, Brother Lucas? Were you worried about that pressure? You don't have to worry; fights like that could be easily controlled by my people." Yuna simply said, but deep inside, she knew it was a lie.

The reason she wanted to hold Lucas for a second was to know who those people were. She was afraid that Lucas might easily kill them without really controlling himself.

"I am looking for Lukros. He is not as strong as others and is still at the peak of the General Spirit Realm. That kind of cultivation isn't weak, but for a pressure like that to reach my senses, it might be equal to the three siblings that he can't face easily." Lucas said that made Yuna sigh.

"I get it, but please don't kill the perpetrator. I at least need that person to be interrogated." Yuna worriedly said.

Lucas just sighed then looked at Yuna from the sky and said, "Don't worry. I am not that stupid to be a hindrance to you. But after this, please be sure about the Scared Blood since we are taking much time. I just felt like it would be a waste if things like this continue."

Then, Lucas opened his storage spell and dropped the three corpses of the three siblings on the floor of the terrace.

"I nearly forgot about giving the rest of their body aside from the heads." 

Lucas vanished in the next second and dashed to the location of the fight.

After a few minutes, he finally arrived, only to see Lukros being pushed back by a crimson arch with dark particles. He gritted his teeth as his eyes fell on a cultivator who had King Spirit Realm cultivation.

"Lukros isn't... wait..." Lucas was about to say that Lukros was not equal to that cultivator, but when he saw Lukros's cultivation, he was near the beginning of the King Spirit Realm.

Then, he only sighed after realizing what was supposed to have happened here. His eyes also noticed the spectators a few hundred meters away from the fight.

Lucas decided to spectate the fight. But as soon as Lukros started being pushed back, unable to create a counterattack, he then decided to interfere.

Lucas drew a sword from the storage spell, gripped it tightly as he appeared behind the person Lukros was fighting and smashed the hilt to the head with a martial technique that covered the sword in Qi.

Lucas started talking with Lukros, but then, after realizing that Lukros was safe, he sighed in relief. He also captured the subordinates of the foe and sealed them inside a barrier. After that, Yuna's people started arriving with their weapons in hand.

They were at least at the Master and General Spirit Realm, and as they took the remaining people, Yuna took the body of Lukros's foe.

"Who's he? Why did you fight?" Lucas asked as things were started getting managed. But then, Lukros only shook his head.

"I don't know who they were, Master. But I only felt that they bring no good since they were hiding with an artifact. So, I decided to at least capture them, but they attacked me, so I don't have any choice but to fight back."

Lucas sighed after Lukros explained things to him. At least it was relieving that there were no bad things happening to him. His worry as well wasn't in vain as Lukros gave him the good news.

"I started learning martial arts techniques. I think they were great." Lukros said.

However, as how much as he was delighted carried with a question as well, "How did you learn one?" Lucas asked.

"I just observed him."

Lucas was stunned after hearing it. It was unreal but when he remembered Lukros's special ability, a latent one, he sighed.

"So, you just keenly observed the technique, huh?"

Lukros had a latent ability to memorize things at first glance. But if it is connected with personalities, unexplainably, he is weak on it. However, going back to the memorizing ability he had, he was at least good next to Lucas.

But Lucas wasn't that good at observing things at a glance. He knew how to make things if he could at least see things personally being performed, but not to the point where he could learn the theory behind it. 

However, on Lukros's side, he has the ability as a soul dragon to see through the movement of the energy. Not just the energy itself, but the whole actual effects of the attack, but only at a minimal point.

Still, it was a great feat he could do that Lucas can't. But Lucas can do it if only he can use the remaining abilities he had to the fullest extent.

As the scene was starting to be cleaned, Lucas pondered the profound aura around Lukros. It was as if something had changed in him. And being curious about it, he asked him about it.

Lukros only had clueless eyes as he heard Lucas's question.

"Lukros, did something more happen? Things as if changed in you. Do you mind telling me what was it?" 

"Master, I at least wanted to change. And now, it feels like I have the urge to change and can do it successfully, unlike in the past." Lukros answered.

Lucas only nodded, even though he wasn't able to understand it well. Though it was complex, he felt something with it. It was familiar to him at some point, but not entirely that he could understand it.

It was just a feeling, but as more he thought of it, he starts to forget that same feeling.

Lucas sighed and then stood up.

"Let's go, we will be teaching Lady Yuna, so, let's at least have to prepare things at this point. It will be part of the mission." Lucas then said as soon he stood up.

Lukros only nodded then followed him back to the manor.. And as Lucas was known as the guest of this place, they didn't question Lukros's identity as they were afraid to go beyond Yuna's order of treating Lucas as an equal of her.
