Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 166: They Are My Subordinates

’My subordinates?’

Ren stopped watering flowers and turned around.

The moment he came into view, Daven and his group froze because Ren looked like an angel who descended from the highest heaven in their eyes.

’He does look like an angel.’

Kairos had described Ren’s appearance before, but witnessing it firsthand still left them stunned.

’How can a human be this perfect? Was he personally created by God as a special existence?’

They had seen many good-looking men, but they were pale in comparison to Ren because he was flawless in their eyes.

If they had to rate his appearance, it would be ten out of ten.

No!

Eleven out of ten because he was simply too perfect to be human.

In their view, he should not belong to the mortal race.

He should be among the divine.

"Leader..."

"Leader..."

Kairos and Dan could still control their emotions because they had seen Ren’s angelic appearance before.

Ren gave them a slight nod before shifting his gaze to Captain Noah. "Yes, they are my subordinates. Thank you for bringing them to me, Captain Noah."

"Then, I will take my leave." Captain Noah was still on duty, so he could not afford to stay and chat with Ren.

"Thank you, Captain." Elian and the others said in unison.

Right after Captain Noah left, Kairos introduced Raul and the others.

Ren nodded in satisfaction because, among the thirty new recruits, twenty were Master rank warriors, while the remaining ten were 3-star mages. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Including his existing members, Ren now commanded a total of sixty underlings. Among them, thirty-five were Master rank warriors, while ten were 3-star mages.

As for the rest, five were Elite-rank warriors, and ten were 2-star mages.

"Leader, Daven and the other new recruits want to challenge you," Elian said abruptly. "They want to test your strength."

"Challenge me?" even though Ren was slightly surprised, his face remained composed.

Raul frowned at the way Elian conveyed their intention because it sounded almost conspiratorial.

"Leader, we mean no offense," Raul said politely, ensuring there was no misunderstanding, "It’s just that Brother Kairos and the others said something difficult to believe, so we wanted to see it for ourselves."

Ren shifted his gaze to Kairos and asked, "What did you say to them, Kairos?"

"Leader, I didn’t make anything up," Kairos responded, "I only told them what had happened at Moon Palace, nothing more than that."

"I see. Then let’s find an open area to spar." Ren didn’t want to spar around his house because it could destroy everything.

"Thank you for granting our request," Daven and the others said in unison before following him from behind.

Ren didn’t take them to a random place.

He led them to the spot Scarlett had chosen for their base.

"Let’s spar here." Ren didn’t use the word ’fight’ because, in his eyes, spar and fight were two different things.

"Leader, is it fine to spar in this place?" Adrian was wary of damaging the citizens’ land and tarnishing their reputation.

Gaining a bad reputation before officially announcing their organization could cause trouble, so they had to be cautious about where they sparred.

Ren’s lips curled into a smile at Adrian’s concern. "This location was chosen by the City Mistress for our base, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Oh! So, this land belongs to us?!" Adrian’s worried expression disappeared, replaced by excitement as he marveled at the vastness of their territory.

"Yes." Ren replied with a nod, "We can start building our organization tomorrow."

"Haha. Great!" Kairos laughed happily.

Ren returned his attention to Raul and the new recruits. "Alright. Let’s spar now."

Before Raul and the new recruits could respond, Dan cut in, "Leader, we won’t be watching your spar."

"That’s right." Elian added, "We will wait for you at the restaurant across the street."

"We are starving from traveling, so we wanted to fill our stomachs first." Kairos made an excuse, too.

"Hey, why are you all acting like this all of a sudden?" Raul’s excitement faded because he wanted them to stay and watch.

"Don’t be such disloyal brothers." Daven said, "Stay here. We can all go to the restaurant together after this."

The other new recruits nodded in agreement.

However, Dan and the others refused to change their minds because they didn’t want to experience Ren’s terrifying skills again.

"Good luck, brothers!"

"Fighting!"

"Hopefully you won’t wet yourself later. Haha."

"Don’t cry if you lose. Haha."

Some of them cheered for the new recruits while the rest were teasing them because, from their point of view, it was impossible for the new recruits to defeat their leader.

Raul sighed before retrieving his axe from his space ring. "Leader, I will be your first opponent."

"No. All of you come at me together." Since it was almost lunchtime, Ren wanted to finish the spar quickly because he had promised to have lunch with Scarlett.

"You want to fight us together?!" Raul said in surprise.

"Leader, we have thirty people here and our ranks are the same. Are you sure you want to take us all on at once?" Daven was also surprised because he previously thought they would spar one-on-one.

"Don’t worry about fairness. Just fight me as a group." Ren chose not to reveal why he wanted to fight them together.

Raul and the others exchanged glances with each other.

’Should we agree?’

They communicated through their eyes.

’Let’s do what he wants. This will also let us know if Brother Kairos was telling the truth or not.’

After thinking for several seconds, they nodded their heads and took out their weapons.

"Leader, we’re coming at you now!" Without hesitation, they charged at him together.

Some attacked from a distance, while the rest closed in for close combat.

Ren didn’t take out his sword nor change his stance when they rushed toward him together.

He even put his hands behind him.

Raul and the others were shocked by his actions.

But even so, they did not halt their advance because they had already warned him before rushing toward him.

’Leader, don’t blame me if you get injured later.’

Ren didn’t move an inch or adjust his stance, so they assumed the battle would be in their favor.

But when their attack was about one meter away from him, a golden bell materialized, enveloping him and blocking their attacks.

*Ding...

All the new recruits were thrown into mid-air as a deep as resonant chime echoed in the entire area.

Some of them coughed up blood while the rest groaned in pain.

They were caught off guard when their own attacks rebounded, leaving them defenseless and struck by their own strikes.

"Cough...Cough...Cough..." They focused their gaze on him as they struggled to stand.

’That golden bell reflected our attacks.’

They finally understood why he hadn’t moved an inch when they attacked him together.

It was because he possessed a skill that let him defend himself and attack them at once!

As the stunned recruits tried to regain their composure, Ren’s voice rang out. "You’ve made your move, so it’s my turn now."

Right after his voice stopped, the sky twisted into a vortex of spiraling dark clouds, blocking the sunlight and gathering spiritual energy.

At first, nothing happened when the new recruits looked at the sky.

But everything changed when a giant golden finger emerged from the dark clouds. Their curious faces turned to terror, and their bodies shook with fear.

Some of them even dropped their weapons and fell on their butts because they saw death approaching them when a golden finger emerged from the dark clouds.

"Le... Leader, we lost."

"Leader, we... we surrender."

"I give up. I don’t want to continue."

"Me too. I surrender."

Some of the female awakeners cried in terror while the majority of the men stood motionless, their faces pale as they gazed at the golden finger in horror.

At that moment, they finally understood why Kairos had tried to stop them because fighting Ren was a grave mistake.

As the new recruits were gripped by fear, Kairos and the others, who were enjoying their drinks, lifted their heads when they noticed dark clouds began to swirl in the sky.

A feeling of sorry for new recruits suddenly appeared in their hearts as they saw the golden finger because they had been in that position before.

"Luckily, we left that place."

"We made the right choice."

"My guess is right. Leader would use his Divine class skill!"

"Raul and the others must be trembling with fear right now."

"No doubt about it."

"Haha."

This was the reason why they had left the area before the spar began because they wanted to avoid facing Ren’s terrifying skill.

While they were enjoying their drinks, Ren deactivated his skill, making the golden finger vanish and the clouds return to their normal state.

It was only a spar, so he stopped when they admitted defeat.

"Regain your composure first. After that, you can join Kairos and the others at the restaurant." Ren left right away because it was about lunchtime.

Raul stared at Ren’s back before finally speaking, "Luckily, he is our leader."

They would have been died if they were enemies because it was impossible for them to survive his terrifying skill.

"You are right." A blue-haired woman responded, "Now, I finally understood why Kairos tried to stop us."

"I will never challenge him again." Daven stated.

"Me too." A green-haired woman said,

"Well, at least, we know we have an amazing leader!" Raul uttered.

"You are right." Daven responded,

’I’m suddenly curious, how far will he take us in the future?’
