I Just Inherited The Arcane Emperor's Legacy



The man turned around immediately and punched with all of his strength, but his punch met nothing but air. There wasn't anyone there.

"I'm here," the voice came from behind his back.

He swung his arm around, but it once again failed to hit the source of the voice.

"Okay, I'll stop playing around," Leo said. He came out of the corner and waved at the man in the suit.

The man was confused. "How? You were right beside me. How did you suddenly get there?" He asked.

Leo smiled. "Like this," he said. He disappeared into the ground and a shadow jotted forward. The shadow disappeared behind him. The man turned around and saw Leo standing there, right in front of him.

He took a few steps back in fear. "You... you are a mage! How? They said that you were an Aura Knight." He said. 

Leo smiled. "Why can't I be both?" He asked.

"You... You can't. Everyone knows that an Aura Knight cannot be a Mage." The man said. He was seeing his entire knowledge base shattering in front of his eyes. 

"Well, that isn't the biggest concern to you now, is it? You should be more concerned about being near a mage who you tried to sell off as a slave to a bunch of nobles." Leo said calmly.

The man realized how hard he had screwed up. He turned around, ready to run away, but a dark bolt hit him in the back. The bolt erupted into shadow tendrils and bound him tightly.

Leo walked forward toward him and pointed his hand at him.

"Maybe, in your next life, you will make better decisions," Leo said. He launched a Flame Burst at the man, burning him to a crisp.

The reason Leo was here and not in the room was because he finally sensed the aura of a 2nd Circle Aura Knight. His plan was to first take out the Aura Knights in charge and then see what he would do about the mages after.

After he had sensed the man near him, he quickly took out the guards near the both of them and finished off the man as well. The only part which bummed him out was that he wouldn't be able to complete his mission because the bandit's body was now unrecognizable.

He left the area immediately after he finished his business and went to look for the other person of authority. He was looking for the person who happened to bring him all the way to the village and then kidnap him to make him a slave. At this point, he had admiration for the plan that Chief Boban had made.

He found Boba very quickly. Boban was also looking around for Leo, but he was looking on the other side of the fort. He had the other two 2nd Circle Aura Knights along with him. Leo smiled. Now that he saw that Boban was separated from the mages, he could play with him all he wanted.

On the other side of the fort, Boban was barking orders to everyone he could see, but he himself was barely moving from his place. The guards to each of his sides were the only 2nd Circle Aura Knights other than the man in the tailored suit, but they were weaker than him.

Even though he was an Aura Knight himself, he didn't do any of the work. As he was slowly walking back toward the room where the nobles were, he saw that the guards who he had given orders to on the way were all gone. None of them were in their posts and keeping an eye out for Leo.I think you should take a look at

He walked forward a little faster and checked in the corners to see if they were slacking off, but they weren't there. As he was checking, a silent shadow swooped behind him and left in a second. By the time he turned around, the shadow had swooped in a second time and had disappeared.

"Where is everyone? What happened to them?" He looked to his right and asked the guards that were supposed to be behind him. To his surprise, the guards were nowhere to be seen. He turned around completely to check again and saw that they had magically disappeared.

Right at this time, Leo walked out from the corner. Boban saw him and clenched his strength. "You idiots disappeared at the wrong time!" He muttered under his breath and started running toward Leo.

Leo watched as the short and fat person in front of him hilariously attempted to run and catch him. While the sight was hilarious, he had to admit that Boban was pretty fast for his dimensions.

As he got closer, Leo smiled and walked right into the wall beside him. Boban skidded to a stop and walked to the wall. He touched it to see if it was really a solid object. As he did that, he found that his hand passed through the wall. 

Something latched onto his hand and pulled him to the other side of the wall. He sucked in a breath of air as he flew from one side of the wall to the other side. He landed on his back when he stopped falling.

He got up and saw that he was in a room that was very familiar to him. He realized where he was all of a sudden. It was a part of the fortress that opened up into a room. However, as far as he remembered, there wasn't supposed to be a wall to close the room. Especially not an illusionary wall.

As he got back up, he saw Leo in front of him. He immediately took two steps back from him.

"You! What did you do? Where did that wall come from?" He asked.

Leo clicked his tongue.

"You and your friend are both filled with questions. You don't even let the other person talk." He said.

Boban snarled and took out a blade from his waist. He looked at Leo and said, "Fine. I'll just force you to tell me. Do you think just because you reached the 1st Circle, it makes you invincible among all 1st Circle Aura Knights? I will show you that it was a bad mistake to appear in front of me."

Leo nodded. "I do. In fact, I think I'm pretty good with 2nd Circle Aura Knight too."

Boban ignored him and rushed to slash him down with his blade. As he did, Leo blocked the blade with his dagger.  The dagger deflected the blade away from him.

Boban was very surprised when he saw this happen. But he tried to maintain his offense. He kept slashing at Leo using his incredibly basic Aura Technique. But Leo wasn't budging anywhere. He kept deflecting every one of the swings.

Finally, Boban took a step back and cursed. "Why is nothing working? This kid is way too lucky!"

Leo smiled. He asked him,"I'm very curious why you thought you were stronger than me from the start. Has it never occurred to you that there was a chance that I am a 2nd Circle Aura Knight?"
