Demon Lord's Reincarnation
Chapter 698 Let's Start The Meeting Without Him
The four generals were on the ground kneeling the pressure that Erste released was so precise that it could not be felt by Frieda and Gratz but they could guess what was happening. Knowing Erste and the power he wielded doing something like this should be no problem. This was a guy that had killed numerous Old Gods beings that they had thought were unbeatable.
Frieda and Gratz simply watched as the generals struggled to get up, but no matter how hard they tried they could not move. Frieda started wondering how Erste was able to do such a precise technique.
Jonathan who held the greatest physical power among the generals gritted his teeth as his prided muscles bulged out he stabilized his breathing and tried to circulate his mana. Unlike the other humans who were trying to use mana to release powerful attacks, Jonathan practiced using mana to strengthen himself. Even though the other humans also use mana to strengthen their bodies, the way Jonathan does it is different.
The way Jonathan uses mana would later be used to create the Spirit Aura which was entirely different from mana. Still, at this point in time, Jonathan was the best at strengthening and enhancing using mana.
Jonathan roared like a beast but despite his best efforts, he could not even move a single centimeter. The other generals also did not give up as they used their own specialties in trying to resist.
Both Sayaka and Kamael had the same thought of attacking Erste but every time they tried to release their mana outward they could not concentrate hard enough to be able to form any powerful kind of attack that could harm Erste.
On the other hand, Schlau was the only one among them who remained calm as he didn't force himself to do anything while he analyzed what was happening before him.
'It's obvious that the strength of each of our bodies is different, and right now I can see that the three of them especially Jonathan are using a lot of force but even he can't escape. Even all of us are in the same kneeling position despite them resisting and me not. That means Erste is actually applying different amount of pressure on each of us just enough to make us kneel... Incredible, I can just wait here until he's done with his demonstration but I do want to test something out."
The smile on Schlau's face had a slight change no one except for Erste noticed that subtle change. In the world of nightmares that the Old God Agares. Every single time Schlau showed that smile on his face the next thing he would do would be something unexpected.
Erste was curious among those present here Schlau was the only one he needed to be wary of. Even the more powerful Frieda was not as tricky to deal with as Schlau.
Erste who had learned how to use his mana to detect the slightest movement in the surrounding area felt Schlau moving his fingers.
'Oh, so he placed traps in this room.' Erste did not even turn his head as he caught the thin long needle that was aimed at his back. Erste pinched the needle with his two fingers.
"That's incredible so even that can't take you by surprise," Schlau spoke looking truly impressed. While he was speaking Schlau was moving his fingers and several similar needles popped out of the walls which Erste easily evaded by swaying his body slightly. After evading those needles the others noticed what happened. Gratz was quite surprised that there were traps in the leader's office, but Frieda was not surprised as she already knew about those traps. She really didn't mind that Schlau put them there.
"Are you done?" Hearing Erste's very dry question Schlau chuckled.
"Not yet, allow me one more trick."
After he spoke the needles that Erste evaded started glowing and various runes were seen glowing from the needles.
"Unlike the others who studied strengthening themselves using mana or trying to release mana as a weapon, I've studied the rune magic that the New Gods like using. I also learned that runes can not only be used to strengthen weapons, items, buildings, and the like but they can also be used to create a formation to create an attack greater than one's own power."
Once he was done speaking the glowing needles with runes suddenly turned into one could call a magic array. Large circular magic circles with various runes spinning around them were created. A burst of lighting came out of the magic circles hitting Erste. The power of the attack surprised even Frieda, but what surprised her even more was that she saw Erste not evading. The speed of the lightning strike was fast but not fast enough since she could easily dodge such an attack which should mean Erste could too yet the guy didn't do so.
Seeing the pressure that was pressing down on him had not dissipated meant that Erste was still conscious.
"So are you done now?" Everyone especially Schlau was amazed by what he saw that attack which he thought would knock Erste out or even severely damage the other party did absolutely nothing.
"Heh, yeah I got nothing left." After saying those words Schlau truly gave up and Erste released the pressure on him.
"How about you three, are you going to quiet down or are you going to continue fighting back?"
"..." Sayaka did not say anything at first as she simply glared at Erste. She then sighed and finally spoke. "Fine, you win." Erste then released Sayaka from the pressure. Now there were only two people left who seemed unconvinced.
"This is amazing, this is the greatest exercise I can think of! Come on roar my muscles let's keep it up, let's get stronger, my beautiful muscles!" Jonathan shouted as he continued to resist with a hearty smile on his face. Erste also released Jonathan from the pressure.
"Hey, what happened?! Come Erste put that pressure on me again, I want to continue resisting it!" Jonathan tried to grab hold of Erste but the other party evaded.
"Maybe next time. So how about you, do you concede or do you want to kiss the floor?" Erste's attention was now on the last general Kamael.
"Huh? Concede to you, hmph, I would never. I would rather kiss the floor than concede to you."
"Alright then."
The pressure on Kamael suddenly increased as he could no longer kneel and his face hit the ground making him literally kiss the floor. Kamael who was not lying flat on the ground tried to resist but it was to no avail.
"So do you concede now?!" Erste lightened the pressure so that Kamael could respond.
"Never!"
"Very well, let's have the meeting without Kamael. So first let me tell you about the information I gained." Erste started talking to the others while continuously putting that invisible pressure on Kamael.
