Reincarnated Into Weak Noble
Chaptre 49. Fire of Anger 4

Death is a natural thing experienced by anyone. Be it the strongest, kindhearted, or high-class sinner, everyone will die. That is destiny.

Even so Max hopes that what is in front of him is just an illusion and a nightmare.

Because he is experiencing what is called destiny. Father's figure is famous for being strong, so easy to die.

By the girl with bright red eyes.

"I'll give you one chance. Leave the sleeping daughter on your shoulders and I'll let you both live."

"Where can I do that, I won't sell my sister!"

As expected by James he was not a cruel person like this. He would choose to die rather than sacrifice his sister.

"Hahaha you have a point" Elli replied with a small laugh.

"But what about the other child?" say it with a smile. Elli looked up at Max.

This offer sounds so good to Max, why give up life for someone else?

But even so Max is still a noble, Laurent's family actually exists to protect the prince and the princess is what Wilbrand often said as a paladin.

The answer he had was clear.

"I refuse!"

Elli's eyes were wide open and her smile faded, it was clear that she didn't like the answer.

"that's disappointing."

Sensing the coldness of the remark Max took out two pistols as weapons. He pointed it at Elli because he felt a sense of danger.

"Go Mr James!"

Although trembling with fear he still showed bold action, as an older man James certainly did not want to lose anyway, he did not have the heart to leave a child like him against an unknown creature.

“No, I'll join the fight.”

“But Tuan-“

“No but, tapi. I want to fight.”

Putting Fiona in a safe place, James held his sword, making the horses ready to fight.

“What a foolish act, you put the princess out in the open like this.

Swosh

Clang

Elli lunges and wants to take Fiona. But of course his brother would not let that happen. He immediately slashed at Elli who wanted to get close.

“Cih, it seems you can fight a little.”

Blood fell heavily on Elli's cheek, this was the result of a slash from James. He managed to give one a crushing attack.

Max could only be hollow just now was an attack that he could not see with normal eyes. Fast slash movement.

For Max himself this was the first time he had seen James fight. He's probably stronger than he looks.

“Bring my sister to a safe place.”

“What?”

“Shut up and do, this is an order!”

Max closed his eyes, okay, he understood that it would only be a burden, but honestly he wanted to help James not just him who was helped.

“Good as you wish.”

Although it is difficult Max was forced to accept, maybe this could be the last time he saw James but the one who is the priotas for now is Fiona.

Because of this displeasure Fiona's eyes slowly opened wide. She saw the scene of destruction and her brother who seemed to be fighting against a mysterious figure.

“Come Miss Fiona.”

Without waiting for a response from Fiona, Max immediately held her hand and ran together to a place that was definitely safe.

It's Laurent's family hideout.

Fiona certainly revolted because she saw the figure of her brother who fought a mysterious figure and looked dangerous, but Max forced and continued to run.

“No I'll let them escape!”

Elli wanted to once again catch up with lightning-fast steps. Unfortunately, James interrupted his recanana.

Suddenly Max's sword turned into full of light as if forgetting its original form and with it he slashed out a single attack of danger towards Elli.

Elli jumped up, managed to dodge with a paper-thin distance, almost having her cut off just now.

“It looks like you won't let me near?”

“No will.”

A sinister smile was drawn on Elli's little face.

“...Then, die..”.

***

On the other hand Fiona and Max kept running.

“Let go, brother in danger!”

“Sorry but I refuse, this is an order from your own brother.”

Fiona continues to rebel asking to release her hand. As the person who was given the mandate, Max certainly refused. He continued to forcefully pull Fiona's hand without caring about her words.

They finally arrived at the hall which was an evacuation site for everyone. Both civilians and the families of Luarent.

Many people gathered in fear there. And Max still clasped Fiona's hand firmly so that the girl wouldn't just leave.

"L-let go.. I beg you! I don't want anything to happen to Brother James." Fiona whined and tears poured down.

But, Max knows how it feels if Fiona sees a loved one dead in front of her so she refuses all orders from Fiona telling her to come back.

Because James most likely did not survive against the mysterious figure. It may be a presumptuous thought but that is the reality that is bound to happen.

Max learns that James' magic pressure is strong enough to be equivalent to Class B and above, but Elli's is more extraordinary. This pressure made anyone standing nearby nauseous and goosebumps over his killing aura. 

the correct estimate of Elli's fighting level was in the S+ class or even equivalent to a paladin and could have been higher than that.

“Max Master. Thank goodness you survived.”

The figure of four people dressed the same as Max came. They are Laurent's family who keep this place safe.

 “Yes I'm fine which is more important. Do something about Miss Fiona."

The four people glanced at Fiona who lowered her head and cried, she was very worried about her brother's condition.

Fiona bit her lips until she bled.

"SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY.IT'S ALL MY FAULT! If only I hadn't been born something like this wouldn't have happened... But at least, let me see my brother..."

Fiona looked completely guilty, her eyelids looking like one who had consumed a lot of tears.

The four people who were in front of Max stared at each other, confused about how to respond to this grieving Fiona. In their hearts they felt claustrophobic seeing the person they were supposed to protect instead looked pitiful like this.

Maybe the four people can't support Fiona, but Max is almost the same age as her. I totally understand that feeling.

"Miss Fiona.."

Deep down, Max didn't want to see the girl cry, though he was quite confused as to how to say something so that she could be calmer.

Fiona continued to cry on the way and now even the tears had dried up, changing with dead eyes.

"...We'll always be by your side, Miss Fiona."

Despite the confusion at least Max knows what to do as a man. She naturally, clasped her body to Fiona. Gives warmth that can win the girl's mind.

Max doesn't know if hugging her is a good option, but at least this is one way to think about it for now.

"Fiona!"

The voice of a grown man echoed in this hall. He is the father of the king.

Hearing the voice, this hug was just released by Max.

Fiona looked at her father.

"Dad, dad... Brother James and Stela, they...."

The sentence was not finished because it was hampered by crying. The father knew what his son wanted to say, so there was no need to finish listening.

"Yes, I know. But fiona Dad must have—"

Duars

Explosions rang out and the door of the hall that was supposed to have a high-level seal opened very easily.

Thanks to the explosion came a puff of smoke and several flying guards floated up like they were bounced off something.

"Who is that!?"

"Infiders coming!"

Duars

Again an explosion occurred. Now the hall is full of smoke and Max realizes who did this.

Who else if not Elli. He is seen breaking down the door and walking towards Max.

Fiona looked resplendent, she was frightened and felt a horrifying air. "No way... Don't tell James?"

"...Well, it takes a lot of time, but in the end the guy dies" Elli said casually. "But I admit, he's quite a hassle."

It appears Elli's body suffered a slight injury, evidence that James was able to provide resistance.

But in the end, James was no more.

"No! James will not lose to you!"

"Enough Fiona go—" the king's speech was interrupted, he was hit by a wind slash from Elli. Although the effect was not too much, but the king was scattered with flooded blood.

"Dad!" Fiona approached her father's weakly lying body.

"Cih less deeply yes," said Elli by staring at his arm.

Blushes

Max shoots fire through his gun. But Elli easily makes a protector that wipes out the fire.

"Curtain! Miss Fiona stay there! I'll take care of this guy."

"Wait—"

Sushh

Max floats quickly using a gun as a booster and makes Elli slammed a few meters due to hit.

"Go to a safe place Miss! And some of my soldiers, the paladin's widow's father is dead. Now that I'm Max's gonna take his place, follow me to finish off that crazy thing!"

"Understand sir."

about dozens of soldiers and Max chase after Elli who crashed due to the blow.

Fiona wants to say something but the fact that she can't do anything. He lowered his head and felt guilty.

*

After walking a few meters, Max finally reached where Elli crashed. But unfortunately than said.

Elli herself is seen sitting casually in the upper building.

"You're finally here, Max," Elli said without letting out a fearful expression. Although many soldiers now surrounded him.

"I'll get my revenge Elli Midnight!"

Without further ado Max moved around at a great speed. He clenched his hands and created a fire, then punched Elli.

The girl grinned, dodging easily to the right side, but her cheeks were slightly scratched at the attack.

"Curtain! How about this?"

Max, who saw his fist hit Elli, immediately continued his attack. He kicks, but is fended off by Elli's hand. Max twisted his body and continued with a twisting kick. The kick was also successfully repelled by Elli. But Max had gathered light in his right hand.

Booms!

A fairly wide hole was created because Max's fist hit the wall. The wall that should still be sturdy enough it became a crater that was the size of Max's body. Unfortunately the attack did not hit Elli and only damaged the wall. Elli was pretty good at dodging Max's attack.

"Lumayan. If I get hit it might get bad. But free---"

A punch with light floated up to Elli's cheek. Elli crashed a little and she looked in pain. He wiped the scar, and stared intently at Max.

"Basic rubbish!"

One huge spear was created in the air, Elli floated an enormous golden-colored spear.

But the spear did not hit Max just about all the soldiers who were there.

Max who saw the soldiers and some other Laurent family die became very angry.

He lost control of himself and his body burned to the ceiling.

.

.

After that Max does not know what happened but a clear fire has occurred and Elli Midnight has escaped.

From that day on, Max hated Midnight.

...***...

Flashback is over

"Give up Max!"

Maz is speechless thanks to him, Max recalls the bad event. The night where he burned everything. He swore he would kill all Midnightites.

Because that's..

"O spirit of decency and fidelity I command you. By using my soul, give me great strength. Out, Amon!"

Fire burns Max's body and he looks crazy.

Everyone opened their eyes wide aware of this aura. The same aura of anger that night.

"I'll kill you Midnight!"
