Landlord World - Start with SSS talent
Chapter 296 - 296: Leave him alive

"You…" The young man with black hair gritted his teeth. "You bastards! Are you looking down on me… ack!"

BAM!

He didn't even have time to finish his sentence before Alex appeared in front of him and swung his fist.

With a resounding crash, his jaw was shattered by the punch, and he was sent flying more than ten meters away.

Even though this young man was a D-rank Lord, his level hadn't yet reached the fourth tier, so in the end, he was still just an ordinary person.

Alex, on the other hand, was different—his physical strength far surpassed that of any regular human.

He was even as strong as a D-rank Hero.

That one punch had sent the young man flying more than ten meters before he finally stopped.

He lay on the ground, his jaw completely shattered, fresh blood pouring from his mouth like a stream, mixed with broken pieces of bone and teeth.

That young man lay there motionless, no longer breathing.

Silence…

The group of D-rank Lords who had been so noisy just moments ago were now so quiet that the sound of their breathing and heartbeats could be heard.

"What… what the hell just happened?" The brown-haired young man stammered in shock.

"I… I don't know."

"He… he… is he… dead…?"

They all looked toward Alex, their eyes filled with disbelief and fear.

The brown-haired young man suddenly realized… that if he didn't kill Alex, he would end up with the same fate as the black-haired youth just now.

"No! I don't believe it." He shouted, "Kill… kill him!"

Grao!!!

The Lizards, as if going mad, immediately charged at Alex, but this time, Alex wasn't afraid.

On the contrary, he seemed a bit excited, letting out a devilish grin as he said, "Good! Come, let me…"

BAM!

A loud explosion suddenly rang out, accompanied by a gust of wind that swept smoke and dust into Alex's face.

The group of D-rank Lords jumped in fright, quickly retreating. Some were so terrified they collapsed to the ground, unable to stand and could only crawl away.

"Damn it! What the hell was that?" Alex waved his hand, dispersing the smoke and dust in front of him.

When the air finally cleared, Alex saw that the five Lizards from before had been blown to pieces, their remains scattered everywhere.

The stench of blood and smoke wafted into their noses, causing even the lords standing far away to vomit.

This scene was even more terrifying than watching the rotten zombies charge at them.

"Huew!" Someone threw up.

Immediately after, two others also began to vomit.

Alex, who was already very familiar with such sights, frowned and said, "Oy! Are you kidding me? You just killed all those Lizards?"

"That's right, with just one move," Austin replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Alex frowned, his eyes landing on the arm formed from energy and fragments like pieces of metal joined together.

That arm was emitting wisps of white smoke, and Alex could feel an overwhelming energy coming from it.

Austin waved that arm around as if to disperse the smoke, smiling as he said, "Yesterday I still wasn't used to this energy, but today is different. Now I know how to use it easily. Hahahaha…"

"You…" Alex gritted his teeth, a wave of discomfort rising in his heart.

He had to absorb a pile of rank D energy crystals just to become stronger.

But what about Austin? In just one night, he had grown many times stronger simply by getting used to the power that Noan had given him.

Could that energy source really be that terrifying?

Alex didn't want to believe it, but the truth was right in front of him—he had no choice but to accept it.

"Damn it!" Alex muttered. "I'm not weaker than him, it's just that his starting point was a bit better than mine, that's all."

"That's right. Time will answer everything. I… will definitely become stronger than the power that Noan has bestowed on him."

Alex tried to reassure himself.

At this moment, Austin didn't care about Alex at all because he was extremely delighted.

In fact, last night, Vylyss had come and suggested that he use the 'Combat Simulation Room'.

That room truly was miraculous.

He had trained in there for 24 hours straight without even realizing it.

He wanted to train even more—after all, inside that room, even if he died, he could revive.

That was why he could test out every scenario, every possible way to use the new power his Master had granted him.

Just as Austin had expected.

At this moment, when facing five D-rank Lizards, he could easily kill all those monsters.

In fact, he hadn't even used 20% of his power.

Austin smiled confidently, looking at the Lizard wielding a shield and sword standing behind the other D-rank Lords, and said disdainfully, "Now it's your turn."

The brown-haired young man, infuriated by those words, shouted, "You bastard! Do you think killing a few of my weak Lizards makes you invincible?"

"Don't kill him," the young man said to the over two-meter-tall Lizard monster standing behind him. "I want him alive. I want to torture him to death for daring to look down on me."

Krit!!!

That monster opened its mouth, emitting a strange sound from deep within.

Then, it stepped toward Austin, the sword in its hand so sharp that it glinted with a cold, deadly light.

Austin, seeing this, felt a slight unease in his heart, but very quickly replaced that anxiety with his own confidence.

'In the combat simulation room, I defeated a level 3 D-rank Hero. I should be able to beat that monster too,' Austin thought to himself.

Alex also seemed to sense that these two Lizard heroes were quite formidable, so he spoke up, "One each, alright?"

Hearing Alex's words, Austin snorted disdainfully, "Fine. If you don't want to lose, then I'll let you handle one."

Even though Austin said that, he was actually grateful to Alex for taking some of the pressure off him.

If he had to face both D-rank Lizard Heroes at once, he would definitely lose.

But if it was one-on-one, it was not certain he would be defeated.

"Are you sure you'll win?" Caleb asked, frowning.

"Of course. Haven't you noticed I have new power?" Austin replied with a smile. "If you can help hold back those maggots, Alex and I will take care of the two heroes."

Hearing that, Caleb glanced at the twelve Lizard soldiers still surrounding and guarding the three other lords.

He nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle them."

Austin also nodded at this, confidently saying, "Don't worry, D-rank monsters are no match for me."

With that, he strode forward toward the two Lizard heroes standing before him.

The brown-haired young man frowned, waving his hand, and his Lizard soldiers began to line up, preparing to attack Alex and Austin.

But at that moment, Caleb stepped forward with twenty Skeletons, blocking the Lizards' advance, and said with a frown, "Your opponent… is me."

The brown-haired young man frowned, glancing at his two companions: "I give you permission to control my two heroes, support them, and don't let them fall into any traps."

The two young men, no longer daring to underestimate Caleb's group, immediately nodded and left.

Then, the brown-haired young man turned to Caleb, frowning, his gaze filled with murderous intent and contempt: "Do you really think those moving piles of bones can defeat my soldiers?"

Caleb shook his head. Though he was confident inside that his Skeletons could easily wipe out the Lizards, he didn't show any signs of arrogance or overconfidence.

On the contrary, his face showed a hint of concern: "Let's just try and see. After all, I have twenty Skeletons, while you only have twelve Lizards."

"Pfff!!!" The brown-haired young man scoffed. "Hahahaha… damn it! You really make me laugh."

"You seriously think that quantity can make up for quality? If that were true, there'd be no point in having different ranks, would there?"

Caleb shrugged and replied, "I don't know either, but I believe my Skeletons can hold you off."

"Ah! Hold me off? Do you think those two dogs can defeat my heroes?" the brown-haired young man sneered.

Caleb just shrugged again: "I don't know. But I believe they can."

The smile faded from the young man's face, replaced by irritation and anger: "Are you kidding me?"

Caleb smiled with another shrug: "I really don't know."

"Damn it!" the young man cursed, ordering his soldiers, "Crush those bastards for me!"

The Lizards immediately leveled their spears and charged at Caleb.

At that moment, Caleb simply shrugged and ordered his Skeletons, "Don't kill that bastard, leave him alive."
