Simon raised his guard him after he understood the strength of the young man.
Although Star-1 and Star-2 Astral Lords are lower-level Astral Lords but the difference between their combat power was like night and day.
A Star-2 Astral Lord's Astral reserve was bigger than Star-1's, they have more control over their powers which was not something a Star-1 Astral Lord can compare with.
In simple word a Star-2 Astral Lord can defeat ten Star-1 Astral Lords. This difference was as akin as a special forces man and common folk, they were not on the same league.
"Done!"
Combining their efforts together they killed off the giant gorilla.
The young man in the sport suit went up to the dead Dreadbeasts with smile.
"Thank you for your help, everyone!"
"You're welcome! But now it's time for you to keep your end of the deal" middle-aged man said as he approached him.
The deal was for the young man to give them two Level-1 Dreadbeasts hearts for helping him kill the level-2 Dreadbeasts.
Slowly everyone began to gather up to him.
"Indeed, I will keep my end of the deal!"
The young man in the sports suit curled his lips in an evil smile.
"But I've changed my mind, now instead of I giving each of you two hearts, all of you have to hand over all your Dreadbeasts hearts in your possession! Otherwise, don't say that I didn't give you a chance!"
"You dare fool us!"
Every one became furious glaring at him.
"I managed to fool you all before, now what difference will it make I make you fools now"
The young man sneered, "all of you must have almost exhausted your Astral reserve's? but I still have more than half of mine left,"
Stone spears formed all around him floating beside him.
"Now, make your choice!"
"You scumbag!"
Ivan and others gritted their teeth, but the young man in the sport suit was a Star-2 Astral Lords. He was much more powerful than them above all they had all exhausted their Astral reserves fighting the giant gorilla and can no longer battle against him.
"So better make your decision fast, as my patience is running out!"
The young man said as the stone spear around him started to him at everyone present.
Feeling the danger of the stone spear, their face's collapsed.
"Otherwise, no one can even think of leaving!" the young man said.
"Killing fellow Astral Lords is prohibited during the test. Are you going to break the rules?" Everyone glared at him.
"Yes, killing is prohibited, of course, but there is no rule stating that I can't cripple you all forever!"
Young man said as he aimed the stone spear to their legs ready to finish them if the move even a bit.
They were enraged. However, they were far too exhausted to fight against him.
"So, it means I can do the same to you"
A Calm voice was heard from side. As everyone looked to the side, they saw a man walking forward now standing beside Ivan.
Seeing that man standing beside him Ivan was surprised and called out.
"Simon, what are you doing here?" looking at Simon he felt a sense of relief, at the same time he was worried.
Hearing the concerned in Ivan voice. Simon felt touched.
Simon turned to him with confident smile that even put the young man's smile in the dust.
"Who are you?" the young man asked unconfidently, behind he was readying his stone spear strike Simon but seeing that Simon was just Star-1 Astral Lord he regained some confidents.
Simon ignores the young man as he looked at Ivan.
"Ivan, today you learn something 'level not always matter'" Simon said as a flaming arrow was created spinning in high speed that air around Simon and Ivan to heat up instantly.
Now looking at the young man. Simon said. "How about you return the Dreadbeasts hearts to them for my sake, friend?"
Young man felt the massive increase in temperature around him, looking at the Flaming Arrow that spinning gaining speed every second.
"You! Who are you?" Drudge asked because he felt the massive threat from the arrow and he wanted to avoid combat if possible.
"Knowing my name don't change anything, so please return the monster heart now"
"Bitch! Die!"
Seeing that the other party was not going leave him off the hook. Drudge dashed around circling around Simon.
Seeing him circling around him Simon did not show any emotion on his face.
"Bitch! your attack may be strong but if it cannot hit the target its useless" Drudge confidently said as earth spear formed surrounding Simon and Ivan.
But the confidence did not last anymore as temperature suddenly increased.
Infrared waves.
With Simon as the centre huge energy wave burst out causing the temperature increase abruptly. And What will happen when temperature increase abruptly?
Human body function shuts down.
Drudge momentarily was stun leave in vulnerable to attack and Simon need that moment. With snap of his finger the flaming Arrow shot at Drudge ripping his leg off.
"Aaaaa!" Blood flowed on the ground as Drudge cried his lunges out.
Simon showed no emotion on his face deep inside it mind only on sentence going on 'if I did not, he will'.
Slowly walking up to him. Simon picked up Drudge's space belt taking out the Dreadbeast heart giving Ivan 5 heart and keeping the rest with the belt for himself and walked away. Seeing him walk away Ivan followed behind.
Leaving others stun and Drudge crying on bloody floor.
…
Unbeknownst to this participate, the surveillance cameras on a building had captured everyone moves and action.
The representatives from different company were seeing this live footage and could not help but be amazed at the Simon's boldness to cripple Drudge.
"That guy has some guts to cripple him without even considering if someone was watch them"
"That's true, but if you look carefully at the boy on the floor you can see that all the blood on the ground is from the severed leg not from his body"
Hearing this everyone looked at Drudge crying on the floor. Confirming that what the he said was true they looked at the Drudge leg or where a leg should have been charred which stopped the bleeding altogether. Which left every one surprised.
