RISE OF EROS

The elder of the Vilotti family was shocked to see how powerful they were, not because he was afraid of them, but because they were so young and to have that level, it was surprising, the elder immediately remembered Daphne's husband and Diana's husband.

The husbands of these two women were considered in their time the most promising warriors, as they were strong and it was practically certain that they would become demigods in time.

In addition, this elder was an active participant in the death of both. Although the war on the border against the kingdom of Galicia is fierce, demigods usually do not intervene.

It is for this reason that when Daphne's husband and Diana's husband protected the border, there was no chance for the kingdom of Galicia to win, as they were by far the most powerful warriors.

Only a demigod could defeat them and, in fact, this was the reason why the Listroff family began to suspect that something strange was happening, as they could not believe that two such powerful warriors fell at the same time.

It was this old man who eliminated them, so when he saw how strong Oliver and Sansa were, he immediately brought back memories of the two husbands of the royal family. This did not bring him nostalgia, but anger, as he was jealous.

The Vilotti family had only been able to produce one demigod in its long history and it was him, however, he saw how the royal family and the founding families from time to time had extraordinary talents.

Although Oliver and Sansa are not from any of these families, the fact that they had a relationship with the royal family and the Caltu family bothered him. Even Castor, who was weaker, still bothered the old man, as his strength demonstrated his talent.

Filled with anger, the old man launched a blow at the three of them, unleashing a powerful stream of air that the three had to use all their strength to block. For the old man, it was a casual blow, but for Andrew's three guardians, it was a blow of life or death.

At that moment they realized the great difference between experts and demigods. It is possible for several lower-level experts to defeat a higher-level expert, but that is very difficult to happen at the demigod level.

This is due to the energy they control. Experts use aura, while demigods use divinity. The higher the level, the greater the control and strength, which is why it is practically impossible for experts to defeat a demigod.

The old man, seeing the three of them misaligned after a simple attack, sneered, but did not stop his attack. Without delay, he launched several more blows trying to eliminate them.

If a single blow managed to put them on the edge of the abyss, this sequence of blows would surely kill them, but then all the blows were rejected quite easily.

Both, the demigod of the Vilotti family and the marquise who watched the battle from the window were surprised, as that was something impossible for Oliver and the others to block, but when the dust raised by the attacks cleared, they could see the reason.

There stood Elder Johan and Elder Arkos protecting Oliver, Sansa, and Castor. Their gazes seemed calm, but they were actually burning with anger and it wasn't because they almost killed Andrew's guardians.

These two elders knew that the one who killed Daphne's husband and Diana's husband was this old man and they were eager to tear him apart. They were already counting on those two men to become the new guardians of the kingdom and this elder from the Vilotti family took away their chance.

Their anger was not small, but they suppressed it in order for this plan to work. While they could clean up the Vilotti family whenever they wanted, they understood that some of them might escape and that would only leave problems for the future.

It was for this reason that they endured and accepted Daphne's plan for the long term, in order to eliminate all the problems at the root. On the other hand, the elder from the Vilotti family did not understand the presence of these two elders here.

"Elder Johan, Elder Arkos, does the royal family intend to side with them?" he asked in confusion, causing the two elders of the royal family to chuckle, as they couldn't believe how hypocritical this guy was.

"Elder Bastas, do you really think we don't know what your Vilotti family has done all these years?" Elder Johan replied with a smile that was anything but pleasant.

Seeing Elder Johan's suspicious smile, as well as his cold and sharp eyes, Elder Bastas understood that all of his plans had been discovered. A chill ran down his spine and he tried to act stupid, "What do you mean by that? We've only fulfilled our obligations."

"Cut ​​the crap Bastas!" Elder Arkos shouted, making the Vilotti family elder back off a bit, and added, "We know of your family's intention to usurp the country. How you killed Eloisa Caltu, Dormo Dunnas, and Elmis Dunnas, among many others."

This time, it wasn't just Elder Bastas who was scared, but also the Marchioness who was listening to what they were saying. Their plan had been exposed and they were now in danger. Elder Bastas immediately thought of running away, but it wouldn't be so easy to do it with Elder Johan and Elder Arkos present.

On the other hand, the Marchioness also turned around and tried to run away, but she found that the experts who were there were lying on the ground covered in blood and lifeless.

The scene surprised her, but not as much as the sudden appearance of Aki and Andrew from the shadows. Both of them had used Aki's ability "Shadow Cloak" to appear undetected and had killed the 8 experts present without any problem.

"I told you that you would die from your stinking mouth," Andrew said in a serious tone and with a macabre smile. He looked like a demon from hell itself and that scared the Marchioness to death.

She couldn't bear the pressure and fell to the ground trembling, but Andrew didn't care and walked towards her in a threatening manner. His bloodlust was astonishing and the fighters outside the mansion noticed his powerful and deadly aura.

Elder Bastas immediately looked inside the mansion and could see what was happening and his expression darkened. He is the guardian of the Vilotti family so he wanted to leave some living roots and said, "Dear elders, this was all my plan, the new generation doesn't know about this, can't you forgive them?"

Elder Johan laughed sarcastically and replied, "They don't know anything? Do you think we're stupid? Do you think we don't know that the ones who orchestrated the murder of Eloisa Caltu were the young people of your family?"

With those words, Elder Bastas understood that the royal family knew everything they had done and were now carrying out a cleanup. He knew that no one would be saved, but he didn't understand how they had found out.

Seeing the expression on the face of Elder Bastas, Elder Johan understood what he was thinking and decided to tell him before sending him to the other world, "Your mistake was to have killed Dormo and Elmis. Did you really think that we would not suspect the death of two of the most promising warriors in the country, especially when they were husbands of the royal family?"

Elder Bastas was shocked to hear this, as this meant that the royal family knew of their plan decades ago. There he realized that the royal family had planned this well and that their annihilation was well organized.

He gritted his teeth tightly upon hearing this and reaffirmed his determination to escape. He knew that if they had planned this much, no one would be saved, but he had a chance, since, although weaker than these two, he was still a demigod.

Winning the battle was impossible, but escaping was a different matter and at high speed, he took out a small mirror-like artifact. When Elder Johan and Elder Arkos saw this object, they immediately paled.

They knew very well what it was. It was a teleportation mirror and if he used it, it would be very difficult to find him, it was practically as if he had fled. Elder Bastas was pleased with his preparation, laughed out loud, and sneered as he activated the mirror.

"Fools, did you really think you could catch me? Fear because I will return and your family will suffer," he said amidst his maniacal laughter, and although the demigods of the royal family had moved to prevent his escape, they knew they could not stop him.

However, in that moment of tension, the mirror stopped working and Elder Bastas spat out a mouthful of blood. Everyone was shocked at the scene and Elder Bastas turned his head in disbelief and there he found someone.

It was Andrew who, seeing that things were getting bad, asked Fluffy to take his body and prevent Elder Bastas from fleeing. It only took him a second to take Andrew's body, appear behind the Vilotti family elder, and pierce him with his hand.

Andrew's arm pierced the old man's body from his back to his chest, having destroyed everything in its path. Now, Fluffy had already returned control to Andrew, it was he who was there watching the old man lose his life.

The feeling of having his arm covered in another person's blood and entrails was not pleasant, but Andrew remained with a cold expression and only heard the old man Bastas utter haltingly, "You... How?".

Andrew gave him a contemptuous smile and snorted, "The dead do not need to know." With annoyance, he pulled his arm out of Bastas's body and threw him to the ground, but before he fell, Elder Arkos grabbed him and twisted his neck.

Although he would die from the wound caused by Andrew, Elder Arkos did not want to give him any chances, so he finished him off instantly. Elder Johan approached Andrew and with an expression of gratitude said, "Thank you, you really saved us."

"I didn't do it for you. If that old man runs away, we will surely be in trouble too," Andrew said casually. Elder Johan didn't say anything else about that, but nodded and asked, "Do you have the Marchioness?"

"Yes," Andrew replied still with the same attitude and Elder Johan spoke again, "I know you won't allow it, but don't let Victoria get hurt." Andrew understood what the old man meant and nodded firmly reassuring him that he knew what to do.
