Chapter 484 Punishment | Mercy | Order
"Ridiculous…." Rudy sighed.
He gazed at the one man he had spared and thought, 'Maybe I should have killed him too? Is it really a good idea to leave him alive? Well, we will see in the future.'
Rudy landed near the man and said, "Raise your head."
"But…"
"Don't worry. I won't hurt you. You are the only one who embraced my mercy. You have earned yourself freedom and praise from none other than me."
Without raising his head, the man grabbed Rudy's leg and began groveling.
"Thank you!"
"Don't thank me yet." Rudy stepped back and raised the man's body in the air using telekinesis.
He wanted the man to look him in the eyes so he could command him.
"My mercy didn't come for free. I just freed you from a small cage and tossed you on a bigger one." Rudy wrapped his hand around the man's shoulder— like a friend would, and looked into the man's eyes before continuing, "What is your name?"
"My name doesn't matter for someone such as you!"
"Now, now, there is no need to be humble. It's not always good. Tell me your name," Rudy asked calmly.
"M-My n-na-name is Divase Jhimoire…"
"So Dimoire, what was your status before you joined the army? What is your story? Tell me about yourself."
Rudy's voice was calm and soothing, but at the same time, it was intimidating and demating too.
"I…I was born in the south-west kingdom of the—"
"Nevermind that. I don't have time for this. I am not interested in who you are, I am interested in who you are going to become." Rudy tapped on the man's shoulder while saying that.
"Wh..at?"
"Do you know what you are going to become soon?"
"No…" he shook his head.
"From now onwards, you are the king of the entire West continent and all its kingdoms. Everything belongs to you. You can do anything you want. I don't care. However, you must never set your foot on his continent, let alone lay your eyes on it. Do you understand?"
The man nodded violently as if his life was dependent on it.
"Oh, one more thing. You must also let them know what happened today on the battlefield. Tell them the Lord has returned, and he passed his judgment and punished those who disobeyed my rules.
Tell them the stories, tales, or whatever the hell they are called in this world. Write everything down in a book and note it down in history. Read it to the old and young. Teach them in school, and let them and others know what happens when they mess with the Lord.
And tell them that I have returned and awakened in my finest form. Tell them if they even think of disobeying my orders, calamity would ensue on them. And tell them to not make me angry."
Rudy then let go of the man after saying, "Go now. Live happily and peacefully in the bigger cage."
Those exact words were later noted down, and new rules were enforced. Those who had never seen lost began fearing him just by hearing about it. They all had lost their faith in the Lord and treated it like folklore and a fairytale, but now they began worshiping and praying to the Lord, so they don't get abandoned by him.
SIGH!
Rudy let out a big sigh and stretched his hands in the air.
'This ability kind of loaded my brain. I had never used telekinesis from that distance. Hmm… So if I try hard enough, I can even pull the moon, stars, or planets from space to the surface. Let's hope I never have to do that.'
"Let's go to Virgil and see how he is doing."
"Oh, there is no need for that," Virgil suddenly replied while hovering in the sky.
"I know you were on your way here, but you sure took your time," Rudy remarked.
"I had to make sure you didn't leave the silver in the sky somewhere."
Virgil gazed at the battlefield, but all he could see was the silver weapons plunged into the horizon. All the dead bodies of the vampires had turned into ashes and flown away.
"I don't think I need to say this, but I want you to get rid of the silver from this world. It's extremely toxic for us vampires," Virgil requested calmly.
"Ehh… ain't no way I am picking up all these weapons."
"Well, you are the only one who can touch the silver here. If you leave them here, someone can get their hands on it and use it as a lethal weapon to exterminate our entire race."
SIGH!
Rudy snapped his finger, and all the weapons were forcefully plucked from the surface. Then, Rudy swiped his finger up and sent all the silver back into the faraway space.
"..." Virgil shrugged his hands and opened his mouth to say, "It didn't even take you three seconds to do it. Why were you making such a big deal about it?"
"You only consider the time. What about the energy I wasted, huh?" Rudy asked with a judging look on his face.
"You have a point," Virgil nodded. "But you should learn some power-efficient ways."
"I could do that if I wanted to, but I had to make sure I kill them in one hit as I didn't have time to waste on them, nor were they worthy of my time."
"Let's go to Jane. I am worried about her," Virgil suggested.
"I am more worried about her, but rest assured. She is handling pretty fine."
"Hmm?"
"I have been and still am watching the war in the east. Obviously, I had to make sure Jane didn't get hurt. I wanted to watch over you too, but I can't teleport my vision to two places, especially when I myself was on a battlefield. So I decided to teleport my hearing to the north where you were," he finished the last sentence with a soft scoff.
"Wait… are…" Virgil landed in front of Rudy and asked, "Are you telling me that you heard everything we said?"
"Crisp and clear."
