Chapter 438 The Might Of The Former Heroes

-----

"What in the world is going on in here?!"

My mother was the first one to exclaim. As we made our way here, her connection with the barrier intensified and she quickly realized a group of over twenty men armed with magic spears and swords were trying to break through the barrier. However, even with magic weapons, it was quite futile.

One could even notice the children and the nuns looking through the windows of the building fearfully at what was happening outside. Mother Mary seemed completely confused, with no way to know what to do.

"Huh?"

The guards quickly stopped what they were doing, directing their gazes to our group. Their eyes quickly inspect all of us. Some of them seemed angrier than others, as if they were frustrated they had been trying to break the barrier for a while now.

"Who are you?! Do you have any involvement with these Demons?" Asked one of the soldiers in the group, as he walked forward and looked at my mother who confronted him. She was actually taller than him by a few centimeters, but the bold bastard didn't seem to even respect her, especially because he saw her being pregnant.

"Wait, those are elves?"

"That girl is an elf too, isn't she?"

"Wow, maybe we could…"

"The Nobles might be pleased if we give them away."

Hearing the disgusting words of the other soldiers behind him, the man that seemed to be some sort of commander gave a sick smirk as he approached to us.

"If you do, then I'll have to apprehend all of you, especially you too! Even if you're pregnant…" He said, suddenly extending his hand towards my mother's chest.

"Down."

FLASH!

With a mere word, my mother's eyes flashed with bright light, utterly enormous quantities of mana began to flow out of her mind. Despite looking so frail as she was, she was a behemoth in terms of magical power.

Her mere aura put the commander in the floor, falling directly with his face hitting the ground. The other soldiers quickly were forced to kneel in horror and fear, they were all sweating constantly, trembling, gritting their teeth, some even began to cry.

"W-Wha…?!"

"W-What is this pressure?!"

"Aaggh!"

"M-Monster! Monster!"

My mother looked down at the Commander with a pissed off look, however, she patted my father's shoulder.

"Calm down."

"Hm…"

My father's eyes seemed completely filled with bloodlust.

If it wasn't because my mother stopped them from doing anything more foolish, my father would had probably cut them all down to pieces in a mere instant.

"We are indeed involved with these demons. Also, did you just tried to touch me?" Asked my mother. "Depending on your answer, you'll be punished."

"N-No, I would never attempt to do something like that to such an incredible magician such as you, ma'am!" Cried the commander, falling over his own butt as he tried to stand up again, his pants were all wet, he probably pissed himself.

"Kneel and apologize."

My mother asked domineeringly, completely changing her former nature and personality. Aquarina, Zack, and I were all shocked at that. But I guess it was justified after hearing what they were planning to do with us out of absolutely nowhere.

"I am very sorry!"

The commander kneeled in the floor and asked for forgiveness, all other soldiers did the same. He even began to weep and cry while constantly asking for forgiveness.

"I am sorry, please forgive me! I am sorry! I am sorryyy…"

"Hmph, I can't see the honesty in your words…"

My mother seemed to be ruthless.

"Gyyyyhh! I-I am very sorry!"

"Hmph…"

FLASH!

Suddenly, her pressure disappeared in an instant.

Just like that, my mother subjugated a bunch of soldiers, over twenty of them, in mere seconds and without moving a single centimeter.

"Sylphy, did you see that? It is called Magic Aura. It is a special power you'll develop as you evolve your Magic Circle and Physique." Said my mother. "I'll teach it to you later."

"O-Oh… That would be great…" I said with a bit of a flabbergasted expression.

"Anyways, you guys are going to have to answer a few questions now." My father stepped forward with Shade.

The moment the guards looked better at their faces, some quickly recognized them.

"E-Eh?! The S-Ranked Adventurers!"

"W-What?!"

"Why are they here from all places?"

"Wait, I remember someone saying they had some involvement with the demons…"

My father smiled, cracking his knuckles.

"Indeed we do!"

He quickly grabbed the commander by his clothes, lifting him up with a single arm as if he were a mere ragdoll.

"Now, buddy… you're going to tell us why you're here."

"Y-Yes…!"

The black-haired man with a funny-looking mustache that was the Commander quickly took out a paper from his pocket, it was some sort of Order written by the Nobles and signed by the Lord of this country.

"A-According to the law, t-these demons in the orphanage have been accused of working together with the Demon Cultist that had attacked before a-and they are… t-to be apprehended and captured! I-Inside jail… until they are either proven to be culprits or innocent…"

The man was having a hard time coming out with proper words to speak because he was trembling too much. My father had yet to even unleash any aura, but his normal presence as a whole was incredibly intimidating.

"Why would they do that?" Asked my father.

"W-We don't know, we are only following orders!" Cried the commander. "I-It is our job! Please spare us, we have families to feed!"

"Hmph…"

My father quickly dropped the man into the floor, walking towards the rest of the soldiers.

"Scram."

"Eh? But we can't leave if we don't take the de-"

"Scram."

My father's second warning came with a shockwave of his Aura emerging. Suddenly, everything around us got surprisingly hot, as if we were in the middle of summer- no, even hotter than that! Is this my father's Magic Aura? Or something else?
