The Conquerors Path

Chapter 293-The Life ʼThreateningʼBattle(?)

Third Person POV:

Its been almost a day since the travel had begun, other than some streamy stuff, nothing else of importance had taken place but Austin knew that the time is ticking away fast and soon the arc will start, in the game Olivia had felt something wrong about the sudden trip since this was secret and she didnʼt know who to trust, hence she brought with herself Leonardo, whom she recognized could be of use.

But this time it didnʼt take place, it would seem that she didnʼt notice the problem or it would be that she did and she had played her cards to get Austin to come with her,

ʼSheʼs not the next Empress for nothingʼ

Austin mused he knew that Olivia had played him with the personality she thinks he has but Austin didnʼt point it out as in the end, it was useful for him, his eyes peered to the beautiful girl sitting across him who was focusing on the world outside, suddenly a message reached Xiaoʼs mind and as he heard it a smile took his face,

ʼItʼs startingʼ

As soon as he thought so the carriage that was moving smoothly stopped, and both Olivia and Austin jerked forward,

”What happened?”

Oliviaʼs annoying voice sounded out as she sat back in place but no response came, there was an eerie silence, Oliviaʼs eyes furrowed but as soon as she was about to move Austin jumped forward his eyes cold, with quick speed he caught Oliviaʼs body as he turned around, just as he did a sword strike arrived at the location Olivia was,

SPLASH!

The sound of blood flowing, skin and flesh getting cut was heard, Oliviaʼs eyes widened in shock as she saw a sword piercing through Austinʼs shoulder, his face was a bit pale, while Austin was biting his lips in pain but then his eyes turned towards her as he spoke,

”Are you okay?”

It was just three words but it shook Oliviaʼs heart, seeing the wound on Austinʼs shoulder she felt her heart being squeezed tight,

”Austin!”

Just as she was about to react she felt Austinʼs mana burst forth as he kicked back, the assailant was surprised as he was pushed back and the sword that was drilled into his body was pulled back as a shower of blood followed, Austin didnʼt seem to mind it as he kicked the carriage open and arrived outside, the wilderness filling his eyes.

Oliviaʼs eyes hardened as her eyes trailed towards her attackers and as she did her eyes turned cold, she lightly got down from Austinʼs embrace as she took out the most expensive healing potion in her hands, Austin didnʼt refuse as he drank it down, soon his injuries were healed,

”What is the meaning of this?”

Olivia spoke with a cold tone that chilled the surroundings, well her anger was justified because their assailants were the guards! the one that was supposed to protect them was now aiming their words at them!

Well not all of them, as two of the origin level seven that accompanied them were dead! but the rest of the four has now surrounded both Austin and Olivia, two origin level 7, one origin level 8, and another one at level 9, this lineup was more than enough to take on a large city!

”Nothing personal, princess”

The origin level 9, the leader spoke with a calm gaze, his words only ignited Oliviaʼs rage, the ones before she was members of the royal guards, each one of them meticulously chosen and trained, with no room for betrayal, thatʼs the reason Olivia was able to travel with them, without any suspicious but it would seem this time fateʼs quite playful,

”Who gave the order?”

Olivia asked back with a frigid tone but none of them blinked, before anyone could react the Origin level 9 was in front of Olivia his sword lashing to her head but just as it was about to contact an arrow arrived,

BOOM!

With a blast the origin level 9 was pushed back, surprise filling his eyes, while behind Olivia stood Austin his bow in his hand, while dangerous arrows kept fluctuating in his back,

”Olivia, itʼs no use, all our protective devices has being dealt with, they have been clearly planning this for a long time”

Austin spoke, bringing Olivia out of her daze, a daze that came upon her when she felt death up close, as offsprings of high status both of them had magic tools to protect their life at any threatening station but it would seem that things were much complex than what it should have been,

Once a person goes above the Origin level 5, thereʼs a sharp increase in abilities, power, and all the other stuff, it is the dividing line where a ʼmortalʼ, becomes a ʼdietyʼ, and powers from then onwards are on another league, unlike till Origin Realm 5, fighting above ones own power level from Origin realm 6 onwards is not something any genius can do, this is where true geniuses are marked.

But even then the current situation is extremely bleak for Austin and Olivia, they were facing powers beyond their league, and even now the movement by the Origin level 9 was a simple lax strike, if he got serious they would die in a second,

”Olivia, I will not let you get hurt”

A calm voice was heard, making Olivia look towards Austin who was gazing at her with calm eyes, suddenly her heart started beating faster, seeing Austin beside her somehow made her feel more safe and calm,

”Look, like we got ourselves a hero!”

One of the original level 7 spoke, his eyes flashing with a hint of jealousy as he gazed at Austin, while lust filled him as his eyes trailed over Olivia whose body shuddered with disgust, the only one she loves looking at her like that is Austin!,

”How about this young master Austin, you sign a contract to never speak of what happened here and we let you go alive”

The origin level 9 spoke, his eyes flashing with a hint of slyness, dealing with Olivia is already a problem that would shake them but no one wanted to mess with the Lionheart family, the craziness and revenge of the general of the Lionheart family are well known, no matter where they hid they would be found and more than that what they would fear is the retaliation their loved ones would face.

The Lionheartʼs revenge is always through, they never cared if the world called them devils but when they go out for revenge they would blaze everything, anybody, and everybody related to the person who rose to hurt a Lionheart, everyone will be caught and killed, child, mother, old, lover everyone would be either hunted done or made to live a life worse than death, this is the true power of the Lionhearts.

Hearing the words of the Origin Level 9, the rest of the started to snicker as their eyes lit up with amusement, clearly enjoying the current station, where they would be causing despair to two people whose gifts were envied by the world.

Oliviaʼs eyes turned towards Austin who was calmly looking at the man in front of him, while she looked calm, her heart was in disarray, a part of her wanted Austin to be safe and leave while another part wished that he stayed with her, will he even in the face of death be beside her? and soon her question was answered,

SWISH....DING!

The sound of an arrow moving and deflected was heard, Austin had let loose an arrow towards the Origin level 9! with a smirk he spoke,

”Sorry but I chose to fight”
