Lord of the Truth

Chapter 655 Drawing Swords

*Swoosh* After being pushed back, Flora did not give up easily, she opened her arms wide and then pounced on Aru from behind, hugging his arm again, "I made my decision because I know what your decision will be. His Excellency can give you everything you have been striving for all your life. He will give you a clean and perfect technique for the Major Heavenly Law of Lightning to become stronger than everyone, and in return, he wants you to go fight and prove your strength in other worlds. Isn't this what you dream of? To be the strongest in any circle you can reach? His Excellency will grant you this desire, and will even give you a larger arena in which to do what you love!"

"...So after all these years you still don't understand me." Aru turned and pulled Flora's hands away from him again, then looked into her eyes with disappointment, "I really want to be the strongest, but not for the title itself! I'm not a stupid monster who wants to fight anything he sees, I want more power to be free and do whatever I want whenever I want, just as I was free when I snatched your love from the Red Flame Dragon Tribe against everyone's will… Satisfying that person's terms will make me his subordinate, he will take away my freedom."

Feeling lost, Flora shouted: "You have achieved your will here and have become the strongest among everyone and the leader of the unified army, but what then? His Excellency was able to subjugate us with only half of his army. Individual strength elevates you in status, but it will not secure your freedom. Freedom is living among a pack of lions, watching each other's backs, not to be the leader of a flock of sheep!"

"We can be a pack of lions too!!" Aru shouted forcefully, "What are you saying, Flora? Are you really the woman I knew, loved, and fought the whole world for? Are you saying that I have to submit to someone in order to be free? What kind of logic is this?!"

"These? These can be a pack of lions?! Who among them deserves to stand side by side with you?! You are not more than seventy years old but you already stepped on all of their faces! When I talk about the lions, I am talking about the likes of Raiden, Caesar, and Jabba!" Flora's eyes filled with tears and she began directing her words to the rest of the Martial Emperors, "And all of you, we experienced what is happening now in the ancient times when the first invasion of our world came and they began performing horrific experiments on our ancestors. We all knew that there were higher powers around us, and yet instead of uniting and strengthening ourselves. We did not learn and went back to fighting and eating each other. We forgot about the topic as soon as they left, imagining that the worst had passed... Until the demons appeared."

Then she calmed down a little, "...This is the second invasion and the second warning. What will you do to deal with it? If His Excellency had not restrained the demons until this moment, we would all be dead now and we would not have been able to have this conversation in the first place. Even if His Excellency and his demons had withdrawn, What would we do to confront the third invasion when it comes? What about the fourth and fifth? His Excellency Robin Burton has given us excellent terms, we can take all the benefits without swearing allegiance to him and he will certainly help us if another invasion takes place against us, what more could we want? Finally, we have a backer!! Do you think that all the invaders that will come to our planet will be kind enough to give us conditions like these?"

Quite a few of the Emperors looked at the ground with furrowed brows thinking about Flora's words, even Aru looked away but clenched his fists until he almost crushed them with a mixture of anger and helplessness.

But more of them started pointing at Flora and shouting:

"Traitor!"

"Damn it, I knew we shouldn't have used those sacrifices on you!"

"The Red Flame Dragon Tribe must give us an explanation for this nonsense!"

"All of you...!! I am only a messenger conveying a message to you, and I did not say anything other than reminding you of the past. Why did I become a traitor?!" Flora looked around feeling lost, but she soon shook her head and gave them her back, "Forget it, go and die then! Me, Aru, and the Red Flame Dragon Tribe will do what we have to do to survive."

"Flora..." The Red Flame Dragon Tribe Leader almost said something but he silenced himself and looked away, how could he not know what the rest of the tribe leaders around him were thinking? They would take this opportunity to put pressure on the Red Flame Dragon Tribe and force them to make more sacrifices or perhaps even unite against the Red Flame Dragon Tribe now and annihilate them all to get rid of the number one tribe in the world, all because of his daughter!!lightsnovel

The voices of a number of Emperors began to rise, attacking Flora and the Red Flame Dragon Tribe, but it all changed when one of them opened his mouth and shouted: "Hmph, she says she carries a message from *His Excellency*, shit on her and that bastard called Robin Burr--ugh!"

*kachaa*

Before the Martial Emperor could finish his words, everyone heard the sound of a lightning strike, and their eyes flashed white. In the next moment, everyone found that the person who had spoken moments ago was pinned to the trunk of the tree with a golden spear that pierced his mouth and passed on the other side.

Then they heard a voice speaking in the language of the invaders, "I do not know what he was saying, but he mentioned the name of His Excellency in a tone that I did not like, so I cut off his tongue. Sorry about interrupting your heated conversation, Please continue."

"You... you are courting death!!" All of the Orphan Blood Planet Martial Emperors took out their weapons or released their auras without restrains

Even the Martial Emperor who was pinned to the tree trunk gathered his strength and took the spear out of his mouth with difficulty, spitting blood and screaming, and he also shouted in an incomprehensible voice: "I WIGHH KIGGHHH YOU!!"

"Sigh~ That was an unwise move, you know..." Alexander sighed when he saw the situation in front of him, then withdrew the hands that were holding the golden bow and took it out, ready to fire.

"You say that, but you were preparing to attack too." Raiden laughed and rubbed his space ring, another golden spear came out, which he grabbed with both hands. The look on their faces was enough to say that they were ready to fight to the death today!

"It's enough everyone. If a fight breaks out here, no one will benefit except the demons!!" Flora moved quickly and stood between the two groups

lightsΝοvel "You are protecting them even after they attacked us first?" One of the tribe leaders shouted and then looked at the Red Flame Dragon tribe leader, "What an upbringing you have raised for your daughter, an upbringing befitting a traitor!"

"Please listen to me. Please, no fight should start here or it will--" Flora almost collapsed nervously when she felt his hand land on her shoulders and move her to the side. Then the owner of the hand slowly advanced toward Raiden... It was Aru.

Who looked at Raiden from head to toe, "You like playing with lightning, huh?"
