Hunter and his army did not disappoint Arthur, they had all become knights upon his return. Each of them became slightly different, although they still looked like middle-aged warriors, their vitality was greater than that of young warriors.
"Boss..." One by one, they greeted Arthur as he arrived.
"Not bad," said Arthur as he surveyed each and every one of them. "For now, you guys are doing pretty well, but believe me, your foundations are much deeper, you should be able to reach the third or fourth stage in no time as long as you keep training hard."
The men nodded at his words, none of them answered.
Right after Arthur spoke he jumped on the rubble of their house.
"Now is the time to see your strength, come and fight me," he said.
The challenge surprised them a bit and they were a bit hesitant to advance. However, Rose who was standing at the very back suddenly dashed towards the rubble shouting, "come forward!"
She jumped from one rubble to another. In less than two seconds, she arrived in front of Arthur. From there, she jumped so that the sole of his foot was over Arthur's head and then she swung her foot down.
"It seems you really like to use your foot..." Arthur said while pointing his palm up, welcoming the foot.
BANG!
When the foot landed on the palm of his hand, the rubble below shook from the pressure from his body.
Of course, his body was not affected in the least. He reached out and grasped Rose's ankles before spinning her body in the air like the blades of a helicopter.
"Ahhh…" The woman screamed, something she had never done in the past, but being treated like that by Arthur made her feel embarrassed, which was why she screamed.
At the same time, those few mercenaries finally came forward, led by Ryan. The man brought a new sniper who seemed to be stronger than before.
"Hm..." Arthur threw Rose's body then kicked some debris around him. They were immediately thrown towards Ryan and the others. It was something dangerous, but they weren't afraid. Some who were agile enough dodged the rubble, but those who were slow but physically superior chose to punch them instead. Even though they weren't strong enough to crush the rubble with a single punch, only managing to make them crack, they managed to throw them aside.
"Very nice!" Of course, when they got in front of him and they tried to attack, they were utterly helpless, every single punch sending them flying, no different from when they were still mortals.
Ryan who last attacked hesitated a bit, but he still tried his best to at least hit Arthur.
He threw his sniper at Arthur's head to distract him and at the same time, he tried to hit him in the stomach.
Unfortunately, even though his trick was quite good, all of his movements looked slow in Arthur's eyes. He jumped, passed him and landed behind him.
BANG!
He smacked his back so his eyes opened wide before throwing him down.
Right after that, another group advanced, led by Robin. They were actually a bit stronger because they were a fighting squad at the forefront.
Some picked up debris large enough to crush a human's head, and they threw the debris at Arthur.
Whoosh!
In the middle of fighting against them, Hunter suddenly jumped and his jump was really high, reaching the top of the rubble directly.
Arthur shifted his gaze to him, and narrowed his eyes slightly as he saw the faint transparent aura radiating from his hands and feet.
"You seem to have talent," he said.
The others were quite shocked when they saw the aura because it was something they couldn't let go of and they thought it would take some time before they could let it go.
It was something possessed by knights where they had almost reached the next realm. They can release their power in the form of useful aura to increase their momentum.
Being in the first stage but already able to release his aura, Hunter is unique so that at the same level, his strength can be one level above the other.
Of course, in front of Arthur, there is still a long distance. Not to mention that he was still at the first stage, even if he reached the fifth stage, it might still be difficult for him to fight against Arthur who used the God Spell as his foundation. Plus, Arthur also still had a large amount of growth potential before he could become an Official Magus.
Once in front of him, Hunter sent his fist towards Arthur as the aura gathered around the fist, increasing its momentum so drastically that the air seemed to tremble slightly.
Arthur countered his fist with the same attack. The difference was, his attacks looked normal, with no aura at all, giving the impression that he was about to lose. Even Hunter himself felt that way.
However, when their fists did meet, his eyes immediately shook as he felt like electricity was surging through his fists and then flowing into his bones.
"Ohh!" He coughed before being sent flying by Arthur's fist thrust.
Robin and the others, who were still able to fight because they were still above the rubble couldn't help but freeze as they looked at the Hunter.
"I think this is enough, the difference in strength is still too great, wait until you are stronger before we fight longer," said Arthur.
The mercenaries naturally fell silent. And when some of them said that Arthur didn't even use magic, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"We are going to Palermo soon and tonight will be participating in an auction there, get ready soon," Arthur said after he climbed down from the rubble.
He heard that the mercenaries had a bus, which was stationed at a repair shop not far from the village, so they had no trouble traveling in large numbers.
Hearing Arthur's words, they immediately made their move, some gathered the important things they had to take with them and some went to where their bus was.
Not everything was taken, as were the bombs underground, but they weren't worried about leaving them there because no one dared go in or the bombs would self-detonate.
