Lord of the Truth

Chapter 701  The forgotten genius

”Oh... My name is still known? That was unexpected.” The newcomer raised his eyebrows

A big smile appeared on old Dawoodarʼs face when he was sure that he had attracted the attention of his hero, ”...identifying Your Eminence after only one appearance was difficult even after all the tribes tried hard, but how can the moon be hidden? In the end, we were honored to reach your honorable name... Holak, son of Darat, son of Solvin, from the Solvin tribe, one of the twelve northern tribes. You were the most famous genius in the Northern Region nine thousand years ago, as you shocked everyone with your cultivation speed. Then you shocked everyone again when you registered your name among those wishing to migrate to the Northern Edge Mountain Range immediately after you obtained the fourth stage of the Body Strengthening Divine Tattoo.”

Dawoodarʼs voice was very weak and intermittent, but it nevertheless attracted everyoneʼs attention and ears. If a needle had fallen on the ground now, everyone would have heard it, especially the Giant Emperors, whether those from the Azil tribe or the five hiding outside they all listened, holding their breath.

Holakʼs name and presence are considered taboo in the northern region... The massive battle that determined the fate of the North was kept secret, All those who witnessed it were threatened to remain silent.

Although some rumors spread here and there, seven thousand years were enough to kill all rumors and erase that incident from minds... Only the Emperors knew about the existence of that person, and only tribal leaders knew his true identity.

ʼHulk, Son of Solvinʼ All the giants stared at the newcomerʼs face as if they wanted to etch his face into their memories... Is this really the face of someone who lived 9,000 years? He looks younger than most of them!

The Solvin Tribe is actually one of the Twelve Tribes, but they are considered the weakest tribe currently. How is it possible that a character like this belongs to them? Is this why even though they are the weakest, no one tries to bully them? ... Secondly, is this the face of someone who really lived 9,000 years?! He looks younger than most of them!

”...Unfortunately, your Eminence disappeared as soon as you entered the Northern Edge Mountain Range. Your tribe tried to search for you a lot, but to no avail, so you were counted among those killed every year and were slowly forgotten until you showed us your greatness again two full thousand years later when you appeared when we needed you most and saved the world.” Then Dawoodar raised his head slightly and looked at the majestic creature standing on the wall, ”After you chased after Crixus The Great that day and disappeared again, some said you died with it, and some said you were trying to restrain him in the Great North End Mountain so he wouldnʼt harm the world again... Cough, Cough, but it seems that our wild imagination was very weak... Your Eminence actually... succeeded in subduing such a magnificent creature?!”

”Your imagination is indeed wild,” Holak laughed sarcastically, ”You think I fought Crixus to save the world? I just wanted a good ride... To die fighting against it? No one is qualified to push me to this extent~ What are you people smoking over here?”

When Dawoodar saw that his nostalgic approach did not bring the expected reaction, he tried to moderate his posture again and spoke frantically, ”Of course, Your Eminence, you are the master of the earth and the sky, you are without parallel in history, you--”

But Holak interrupted him, waving, ”Come on already, Enough is enough! Just lay there silently, you are too old for this I fear you might break your thigh moving too much, Grandpa.”

”...Yes.” Dawoodar went back to sleeping on his back and looking up at the sky with eyes full of tears. The person he calls Grandpa now is a few times older than him...

As for Hulk, he finally turned to Richard, ”And you...”

”Haa... Haa... ” Richard was still panting hard and his eyes were tired and half open. Although his life energy had not been damaged, his body was definitely not prepared to withstand this kind of force.

A strange smile appeared on Holakʼs face, ”During the ancient times they had a saying: If you want to beat a dog, you have to ask the identity of the dogʼs owner first. Did any of you get my permission before wreaking havoc in the northern region?”

”Keeeakk!!” Richard felt fear coming from the depths of his soul and quickly retreated

In the face of this rapid retreat, Hulk did not move from his place, just opened his eyes slightly and ordered: ”Stop.”

”...” Richard remained where he was, even his lungs stopped breathing and his heart stopped beating involuntarily at this moment.

Holak did not emit any of his aura or even show any killing intent, but Richard believed with all his being that this man could kill him before he knew how he was killed.

*swoosh* *swoosh* *swoosh*

In the face of this imminent danger, the Human Emperors moved quickly. In the blink of an eye, they formed a ring around Richard and took out all their weapons and talismans. One of them, a Dark User, opened a dark portal under Peon and pulled his body into the ring next to Richard.

”Haha, nothing will save you from death today!!” The remaining Azil Giant Emperors shouted excitedly and surrounded the human ring

The number of Emperors capable of fighting from the Azil tribe currently does not exceed twenty after the rest were nailed, but their morale touched the sky after obtaining the support of this entity, and yet they did not attack. None of them would dare to start anything before Holak gave his order.

As for Holak himself, he raised his eyebrows slightly at this strange situation, ”...Why? I donʼt remember asking you to remain as well. You could have run away, I would not have stopped you.”

”His Excellency did not feed hyenas. If you want to harm Richard, you must pass by our corpses first!!” One of the Lightning Law users tightened his grip on his golden spear and touched his life vein, At any moment, he would open it and whatever would happen would happen.

”If it were not for His Excellency, I would have been dead in an alley right now. You shall not touch his son today!” Another emperor declared, sweat dripping from his head

”...” Holak maintained a confused expression on his face, the giants were not raised with this kind of loyalty

Even the emperors of the Azil tribe laughed at the foolishness of humans.

A short while ago, they intended to overthrow Dawoodar because they felt that he had lost his mind, and some of them cursed Salidar because of his screaming, blind loyalty, What is this? As long as you are strong and can lead, we will follow you. When you fall, we will trample you first! This has been the law of giants since the dawn of history. This is what has always made their leaders stronger than everyone else!

But Holak did not laugh like them, he just raised his hand and motioned for them to lower their weapons, ”There is no need to be agitated, I have received news that there is a Third Heavenʼs Chosen who has appeared and I have come to meet him. The human boy will stay with me until his father comes and collects him from me, the rest of you can leave in peace. ”

”Eh? But.. But Your Eminence!!!” One of the Giant Emperors spoke in shock, but he quickly restrained himself before saying another word. They no longer have the say here.

”You want us to leave his Highness and leave? You are dreaming!!” One of the Human Emperors shouted forcefully, but this time his eyes seemed a little hesitant

”That wasnʼt a request, Iʼm just telling you whatʼs going to happen.” Holak just shook his head, then looked at Richard, ”They are good followers. Order them to leave and donʼt let any more blood flow today.”

”Haa... Ha... Hooo~” Richard forcibly stopped his panting and then waved, ”Your mission is over, leave. I will stay here for a while.”

”…Sorry, Your Highness, you can punish me later, but I wonʼt leave.”

”Neither am I.”

”Iʼm staying here!”

The Human Emperors did not show any intention of retreating. Some of them had their pupils shaking as they met the doom and their hearts began to beat like hammers, but he remained standing there.

”You…” A look of confusion and astonishment grew on Hulkʼs face for a moment, but he finally sighed and raised his palm, ”Heh~ Unfortunate, this would be a bad start with the Third Heavenʼs Chosen, but there is no other solution, go on your way then.”

*Boom*

At this moment, the ground shook under everyoneʼs feet, a golden glow filled the place and a strong voice was heard, ”You want to meet His Excellency? This is your lucky day.”
