Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1360: Aetheria Empire Part 7

10 minutes prior to Xu Feng’s rescue of Evelyn.

Aetheria Empire, Military Headquarters

Under the suppression of a powerful being, Zhao Kai’s forehead was drenched in sweat.

At the same time, Lightning Blade, Skyfire Mist, and FreeLancer were also starting to feel the burn of the pressure.

They gritted their teeth and tried to activate their resistance skill, only to find that it was disabled temporarily.

[System Notification: You are in a restricted area. Certain skills are temporarily disabled!]

Since the Military Headquarters was an extremely important place, there would naturally be formations that disabled other magic from proceeding.

After all, they couldn’t afford to let any confidential information slip out if others intended to disguise themselves or go invisible to sneak around the vicinity.

"I can’t anymore..." Zhao Kai wiped away some of the sweat and took out a small bun to eat.

Almost immediately, the Hex Team looked at their Guild Commander in disbelief.

Was now really the time to be eating some food?

Not to mention them, even the nearby soldiers were stupefied on the spot.

What they failed to discover was that the moment food entered his stomach, his aura began to gradually change.

’Hmph, I haven’t used the Gluttony skill for a long time.’ Zhao Kai sneered inwardly.

The Gluttony skill was one of his trump cards. Xu Feng had also warned him on multiple occasions to keep this skill hidden unless the situation was dire.

Naturally, how to determine a dire situation was completely up to his discretion.

And Zhao Kai believed this current situation was dire because he was about to soil his pants if he had to continue to endure and resist this suffocating pressure.

"A man can be killed but not humiliated. I don’t care if you want to test us or put on a show of force. But this Young Master is no longer playing with you." Zhao Kai roared and dispelled the pressure immediately with the activation of his Gluttony skill.

BOOM!

The impact of his activation caused a powerful sensation that directly shattered the invisible pressure force.

The residual also caused the nearby soldiers to stagger a few steps.

As for the Hex Team, they were blessed with Zhao Kai’s skill and no longer had to face the powerful pressure.

"Hah, that was not fun." Lightning Blade panted heavily and turned around to check on his buddies.

"This pressure is no joke." Skyfire Mist gasped for air and struggled to maintain his balance.

Thankfully, FreeLancer fared a little better because of his tank attributes and assisted Skyfire Mist in time.

"Their eyes changed..." FreeLancer commented. As a tank, he was quite sensitive when the nearby presence had changed.

After all, tanks needed to constantly gain aggro and defend the back line.

"Eyes changed?" Skyfire Mist jolted slightly. Having been teammates with him for so long, these two words usually meant a difficult fight was incoming.

"Don’t be impulsive." Lightning Blade promptly warned his members. As a swordsman, he could sense a powerful sword aura looming behind the shadows.

He dreaded that their lives would be forfeited if they dared to show any aggression.

’No wonder he’s the Guild Commander.’ Lightning Blade was also enlightened at this moment.

Zhao Kai might be under level and even behind a Tier, but his skills were no joke.

At this moment, Zhao Kai’s aura continued to rise and was now directly clashing with the swordsman’s pressure.

"Not bad," a figure soon emerged from behind the door. They exuded a domineering might passively, evidence of their years of experience in battle and war.

One of the nearby soldiers also promptly informed Zhao Kai and the rest.

"This is General Henry, the current commander in the military headquarters."

Zhao Kai glanced at General Henry with a calm composure.

Meanwhile, the Hex Team nearly lost their balance when they realized General Henry was Tier 4.

This kind of power was enough to become a City Magistrate and control a large area of land already. Yet General Henry didn’t bask in that glory and stayed in the military.

In the blink of an eye, Lightning Blade went on one knee and paid his respect. "Respected General Henry, it’s an honor to meet you."

Only a real man like General Henry was worthy of his respect. To become a swordsman, one must be righteous and dedicated to serving the people.

Otherwise, why should you carry a sword?

"There he goes again." Skyfire Mist twitched his mouth when his buddy went on role-playing as a classic Jiang Hu swordsman again.

FreeLancer nodded in agreement. There were many good points about Lightning Blade, except for this roleplay trait.

Even Zhao Kai was taken aback by Lightning Blade’s behavior.

’You’re seriously bootlicking now?’ He cried in alarm. They suffered so much because of this General Henry, but Lightning Blade was full of reverence toward him.

"I see you’re sensible." Henry laughed heartily. He then turned his attention to Zhao Kai with an amused look.

"Berserk with Gluttony skill. I see you’re the successor of that old man."

"You know about Uncle?" Zhao Kai raised an eyebrow. His Gluttony EX Skill was obtained after accepting an uncle’s quest in the early stages.

"Uncle? So that’s how you called him." Henry promptly took his seat and inquired the reason for their presence.

"The pressure earlier was indeed a test. Incompetence has no right to enter the military headquarters and speak because this is a place for the strong, determined, and loyal people only."

To summarize, the so-called pressure was to test whether they were qualified to even deliver news.

After all, they had no intention of listening to some strangers who didn’t even have many skills.

’Keep being pretentious, you clown!’ Zhao Kai cursed silently and decided to let him know how foolish he was to be wasting time like that.

"Our Guild Leader, also the Viscount of the Aetheria Empire, Lin Feng, has discovered an emblem belonging to the Scout Army during his adventure in the Oracle Region."

"Hah, what nonsense---" Henry was about to dismiss the information until Zhao Kai flashbanged him with the emblem.
