As the heavy door opened...
"Martial King" Go-Gin, over three meters tall, cast a shadow over Lyle like a green high wall. His white beard-like fur vibrated with his breathing.
Sharp teeth protruded from both sides of his mouth, and a pair of white, eerie eyes looked down, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure that ordinary people couldn't describe.
""Martial King" Go-Gin?"
Lyle couldn't help but look up at him. Overall, he seemed somewhat corpulent, but in reality, it was a sign of exceptional strength.
Lyle was both surprised and a little astonished by "Martial King" Go-Gin's appearance. He had no interaction with him whatsoever.
As for how he found this new address, that was not something to be puzzled about.
Boom!
With a tremor of the ground...
Go-Gin gave Lyle a faint glance, then withdrew his gaze. His tall figure strode past Lyle and entered the spacious courtyard.
Lyle raised an eyebrow, turning his head to look outside the gate. Unbeknownst to him, a large crowd had gathered.
Clearly, all these people had been drawn by Go-Gin's appearance, and among them, he noticed several figures in uniform armor.
Lyle expressionlessly re-closed the main door, blocking the probing gazes from outside. Then, he looked back at Go-Gin, who had entered the courtyard.
Boom! Boom!
Each heavy step made the ground tremble.
Go-Gin paid no heed to Lyle, the owner of the courtyard. After observing the courtyard once, he strode towards a spot in the center of the courtyard.
What is that?
So that's it, he came for this.
Lyle looked in that direction, a flicker of understanding in his eyes: "That is my important property, Lord Go-Gin."
Hearing the voice from behind.
The red mark on Go-Gin's nasal area wrinkled, and he spoke coldly without turning his head: "I don't like idle talk, human alchemist."
His heavy, rough voice contained undisguised coldness and disgust.
After speaking.
Go-Gin had already arrived in front of the weak, somewhat emaciated Ogre bound in the center of the courtyard.
Compared to the over three-meter-tall Go-Gin, the Ogre, only about two meters tall, looked like a child in front of him.
"Ooh—ooh—"
This Ogre's wild, fearful gaze fell upon Go-Gin, and his listless spirit jolted. He struggled, emitting whimpering sounds, seemingly wanting to express something.
However, because his mouth was stuffed, no meaning could be conveyed in his voice.
"Pitiful weakling."
There was no trace of pity in Go-Gin's white eyes, only greater disgust.
Snap!
His thick arm lifted, and he grabbed the Ogre's head, lifting him from the ground. The ropes binding the Ogre were forcefully torn by the astonishing pulling force.
"Whoosh—" The Ogre let out a painful whimper.
Crack!
Go-Gin's thick green arm suddenly tensed and exerted force, and the Ogre's seemingly solid head was crushed on the spot.
A large amount of blood mixed with milky white brain matter splattered onto Go-Gin's body.
Thump!
The headless Ogre fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud, but its strong vitality still caused the remaining flesh of the Ogre to twitch continuously.
Thump!
Go-Gin lifted his foot and stomped forcefully again on the Ogre's chest, where its heart was. As the ground caved in,
He directly crushed the Ogre's entire chest.
Having done all this.
Only then did Go-Gin turn around and return towards the direction of the main door. The bloodstains on his body, coupled with his cold and fierce face, made people dare not offer any rebuttal or make eye contact.
From beginning to end, Go-Gin ignored Lyle, the owner of this place.
The scent of blood permeated the air,
Even overpowering the fragrance of flowers emanating from the small flowerbeds in the noble courtyard with the gentle breeze.
"I told you."
Facing this scene, Lyle sighed, "'Important property'?. Even as the "Martial King" of the Imperial Arena, you shouldn't have the right to destroy someone else's property, should you?"
"You are not afraid of me, human alchemist."
The two copper rings hanging from Go-Gin's ears clinked slightly as he lowered his head to look at Lyle, and a sneer sounded:
"Is it because you can refine unique alchemical potions from Ogre blood?"
"Compensation for this Ogre will be sent to you tomorrow. And you! From this moment on, you will not be able to purchase any Ogres in the Imperial Capital."
"Leaving here is your best option."
"You should consider yourself lucky, human alchemist. I am not interested in weaklings."
Go-Gin gave Lyle a disgusted look and continued to turn and leave.
He didn't believe that ordinary Ogres were the same as him, nor did he care about their deaths, but Go-Gin would never allow anyone to use Ogre blood to refine potions.
In Go-Gin's eyes, this was an insult.
Originally, Osco had already made everyone stop the buying and selling of Ogres, but this human alchemist not only did not stop selling alchemical potions but even intensified his efforts.
He even caused the price of a bottle of alchemical potion to skyrocket to over 500 gold coins.
Having lived in human society for so long, especially in an environment like the arena, Go-Gin understood human greed too well.
His purpose in appearing here was not only to destroy the Ogre in the hands of this human alchemist but also to warn everyone.
Feeling for one's kind?
Lyle's pupils flickered, and he generally understood why Go-Gin had appeared here.
He now had a clearer understanding of Go-Gin's uniqueness!
Both his words just now and his conduct indicated that Go-Gin possessed high intelligence and high rationality, vastly different from the Battle Ogres in the Tob Forest, who were also Ogres.
This was not just a difference in strength, but also a difference in the level of intelligence.
"What a pity."
Lyle looked at Go-Gin's tall green figure and sighed, "'Weakling'?. Are you describing yourself?"
A mocking tone came.
Go-Gin paused his steps, then continued to walk forward, ignoring such mocking words.
Why should a strong person care about the mockery of a weakling?
"Do you think I am expressing anger because an Ogre was killed by you?"
"Or do you think you are a strong person? Oh, I almost forgot, you are indeed the strongest Martial King in the history of the Imperial Arena."
Lyle's tone noticeably intensified when he said the words "Arena," and he spoke with a faint smile.
"In the Baharth Empire, besides Fluder Paradyne, who is known as the Triple Magic Caster and Chief Court Magician, you are indeed the strongest."
"In the warrior domain, no one is your opponent, right?"
"So, it has been six years since you joined the Imperial Arena, and you have been fighting those weaklings for six years."
"Are you honing your martial arts, "Martial King" Go-Gin, or does defeating those weaklings and then enjoying the cheers of countless humans in the arena make you happy?"
""Martial King"? What an impressive title."
Lyle's voice had become somewhat cold and disdainful. He crossed his arms over his chest,
"Living in the "strength" woven by humans."
"You, who stopped progressing long ago, are no longer worthy of the title of a strong person. You have become the "weakling" you speak of, Lord "Martial King.""
In Lyle's eyes, Go-Gin was definitely one of the few people with the highest potential he had currently learned about.
Go-Gin's current level was approximately around level 30, but this strength was entirely dependent on the racial levels of "Ogre" and "Battle Ogre."
In terms of professional level.
Go-Gin's professional level was not high, which meant he had a considerably high growth ceiling.
Lyle believed he had at least around level 50 potential, or even higher, it was hard to say.
This was also the biggest difference between demi-humans and humans; the level cap was a chasm that the human race could not cross.
