Chapter 132 - Chain Quest: I don't have any choice

'Why the hell is Lumilia's father here?' Souta thought as he tightened his guard and observed Ursus's movements.

"Grr!!" Yuko growled at Ursus as her instinct was telling her that Ursus was a very dangerous person. She walked in front of Souta and looked at Ursus with an angry expression.

Souta patted Yuko's head and told her that it was fine. She didn't have to protect him.

Souta then looked at Ursus and said, "I'm sorry to tell you that class rep is not here."

Ursus simply looked at him and didn't say anything to him.

Souta felt like he was a prey standing in front of a top predator and that said predator was looking at him.

He felt being oppressed just by standing in front of Ursus Von Asvares. The man who managed to get a Crystal Flame Honey from the powerful monster.

Souta knew the locations were the honey can be found. The closest to this kingdom was the mountain between Hebrei Kingdom and Zomus country. The monsters that could produce the Crystal Flame Honey were the Colossus Burning Bees. These monsters were already at third evolution which means that their level was above level 40. To think that Ursus managed to snatch a bottle of honey from more than a hundred bees means that he was above level 60.

He was a man that could go toe to toe with a monster that undergoes fourth evolution such as the Queen Bee of the Colossus Burning Bees. But it's only Souta's speculation as there's a possibility that Ursus was stronger.

'The difference in power is too large. Buff spell and combat arts are no use.' Souta thought.

It was at this time that Ursus opened his mouth and said, "I already know where my daughter is and my knights are already on their way to surround the inn."

Souta was stunned when he heard those words. If that's really the case, then he should hurry up and go to Lumilia to prevent the knights from capturing her.

"Then, why are you here? Do you want to fight me, a junior?" Souta asked and thought that Ursus would personally capture him.

"No, you're ten years early to fight me. You're not at my level." Ursus shook his head.

'Oh? Ten years... I've played the Battle Worlds Online for ten years and become one of the commanders of the Mechanic Country. I could easily defeat a single noble head like you when I'm Blood.' Souta thought and he felt amused at what Ursus said. Right now, he doesn't have a level cap so he was sure that he would get stronger than Blood within just a few years of time. He doesn't need ten years at all.

Ursus once again opened his mouth and said, "I won't fight you as I don't want that enormous institute to chase me. I came here because I wanted to see the power of the strongest first-year student of that institute. After all, my daughter praised you a lot."

Souta already knew it. Lumilia said that she revealed that he was a top student of the Ladro Institute to Gregory and her father to prevent Gregory from taking revenge.

He then looked at the dead bodies of the elite knights around Souta and added, "I've visited that Institute a few times ago, and from what I saw that you're really the strongest first-year students as your clearly stronger than your the previous batch but not the current top 1."

"Hm... It seems that you're just here to watch me defeat these knights." Souta smirked and said as he looked at the knights of the Vidrato Family. He was only joking as he knew that with his current power it was impossible to defeat all these knights and elite knights.

"That's impossible just let yourself be captured so that you wouldn't experience hardship," Ursus said as he looked at Souta.

"Oi! Did you know that defeating them and escaping from them is a different matter? So did you really think that they will manage to capture me." Souta said with a smile. He knew the truth that even escaping from the elite knights of Vidrato Family was hard for him.

Against this much number, it was hard to escape much more defeating them.

Then, a man with a terrifying aura stepped forward. He was holding a sword and looked at Souta with rage.

"You, how dare you kill my junior?" He said as his face contorted in anger. He was also a direct subordinate of Gregory. The five of Gregory's subordinates came here in this city with Gregory and one of them died while chasing one adventurer.

His name was Aldine Gropus. A powerful knight of the Vidrato Family. He was a tall man with short brown hair and black eyes. He had a scar on his left cheek that made his appearance looked fierce.

He couldn't take it all. He wanted to rip Souta apart. Right now, he was with Foud, one of the direct subordinates, to capture Souta.

Foud was a man with average height. He had a lazy look on his face. He had black cat ears and tails. He stepped forward and stood beside Aldine. He looked at Souta with those lazy eyes.

'Are they the leader of this squad?' Souta wondered while looking at these two knights.

Aldine and Foud then released their energy with a powerful momentum that shook the ground beneath them.

Boom!

A huge gust of wind swept out and it blew the dust in the area around them.

"This...?!" Souta opened his eyes widely when the two direct subordinates released their aura.

These two auras were clearly stronger than Madan. This made the escape more difficult.

"That's why I said that you wouldn't be able to escape," Ursus said as he turned around and started to walk away. He was going to where his daughter.

"I don't have any choice but to use this," Souta said as he took out a bottle with orange liquid from his pocket. The smile on his face vanished and it was replaced by a cold expression.

"Yuko, I will handle them. You can watch me on the sideline." Souta said as he patted Yuko on top of her head.

Yuko looked at him with a worried expression before she followed his order. She stood behind him as watched her owner took the cap of the bottle.

Tak!

Souta threw the bottle cap on the side and he took a deep breath.

Aldine wanted to rush towards Souta but Foud grabbed his wrist. He looked at Foud and asked, "Why?"

Foud shook his head and said, "My instinct as a cat person is telling not to approach that man. You will be in trouble if you approached him carelessly."

"You're right. He's the one who killed Madan after all." Aldine nodded his head. He took a deep breath to calm himself and he started to activate all the combat arts that could increase his power.

"[Power Strike], [Piercing Reduction], [Reinforce Recovery], [Knight's Will], [Body Power Times Three]..."

Foud looked at Aldine who was preparing himself and shook his head. He looked at Ursus and asked, "Lord Ursus, can I ask something before you leave?"

Ursus turned around and looked at Foud. "Tell me."

Foud glanced at Souta and asked, "Lord Ursus, do you have any idea what that potion is?"

Ursus squinted his eyes and looked at the potion in Souta's hand.

"Orange liquid? I can't think of any potion that possessed that color, but I have a bad feeling about this." Ursus said then something came into his mind. "In this era, there's no current orange potion but in the last... Don't tell me..."

"It seems that you've guessed it correctly. This is a monster potion that I've found in an underground base." Souta said as he drunk the orange liquid from the small bottle.

This was the monster potion that Souta found in the underground base when he was completing the quest to acquire the dark grade weapon [Vajra Sword Saya].

Boom!

The ground shook as Aldine charged towards Souta at a very fast speed. He opened his palm and tried to grab Souta's face.

Aldine's speed was so fast that he covered a distance of fifty meters in an instant.

Souta lifted up his head and looked at Aldine in the eyes who was just an inch closer to him.

Suddenly, something exploded from inside Souta's body. A huge powerful energy came inside his body and it swept out the whole area.

Boom!

It was a powerful burst of energy and it pushed Aldine away from Souta. The energy became so dense that everyone could see it with their own eyes.

The mana that Souta was emitting was really terrifying. Its blueish color slowly turned into a blood-red color. The atmosphere became heavy as everyone felt the pressure in the air.

"A legendary potion from one thousand years ago that could let the user borrowed the monsters special energy. The monster potion from the legend." Ursus said while looking at Souta. "But do you really think that there's no side effect in using that kind of potion?"
