Chapter 80: Hard
"Isabel, we can't keep quiet," said the fat soldier.
He now asked Isabel not to get in the way.
Since she couldn't solve the problem here, Isabel naturally found it difficult to refuse.
However, she also felt that she couldn't let Oliver be attacked by those soldiers.
"Isabel, wait behind."
Oliver didn't want her to keep getting in the way, he spoke and signaled her to wait.
The way he behaved felt foreign to Isabel. After all, she had never seen Oliver use a commanding style.
Or rather for as long as she had known and been friends with him, there was no situation where he had to boss her around.
Because it was unfamiliar, so it gave her a sense of discomfort.
She felt Oliver had changed too much.
For a while, she was very confused.
However, then she decided to follow what he said, walking behind him.
It seemed like she was favoring his side, but this was what her heart wanted.
They had been in a relationship for so long that she had the feeling that he was more important than others.
In fact, she had begun to believe that Oliver had unfathomable strength or there was no way he could take Ruby down.
This was something that made her so curious that she wanted to see it.
When she came up behind him, she narrowed her eyes as she looked at his back.
'Is it him?' Her eyes widened after narrowing as she thought of one possibility.
She thought like that not without reason.
The current Oliver's back really was exactly the same as the back of the figure inside the golden flames when fighting the Primordial Sky Tree.
She was sure of it.
"Brat, if you don't stop, we'll shoot you!" The fat soldier began to warn Oliver, instructing his subordinates to aim their weapons at him.
All their weapons were laser guns with long barrels.
"Don't think you can get away just because you have a hostage. Our weapons will pursue the target automatically," he added.
"Fire!" Then he ordered his subordinates to fire.
He apparently took action faster.
One by one, they started firing their laser guns.
In an instant, dozens of red-colored lasers shot towards Oliver, arcing in the air.
They could actually move, which meant they could definitely catch up to the target.
'Are the soldiers acting more unreasonable these days?' Oliver wondered.
The man had just given a warning, now he was already ordering all his subordinates to fire.
It seemed that they were indeed getting out of control, thinking they were above it all in this new era.
Click!
Oliver snapped his fingers in response so that golden bones arranged like a wall appeared around him, protecting him from all sides.
All those lasers hit those bones. Not to mention penetrating them, they couldn't even scratch them.
Oliver laughed softly as he removed the bones to reveal himself which of course was fine.
"What?"
The young soldiers almost staggered in shock.
"You're all fools, do you want to die." Ruby shouted at them angrily.
Quite a few of them she knew, more precisely the children of her acquaintances.
Seeing their stupidity, she couldn't help but curse.

If they were smart, they should have known that the opponent was too strong if he could render her helpless.
"Lady Ruby, what are you saying? We're doing this to help you." The fat soldier objected to Ruby's cursing, so he protested.
Ruby almost flinched at his protest.
"They indeed need to die so that no one can tell this story," Oliver said in response.
"Plus, their behavior is too bad, I'm worried they'll just be a nuisance to society in the future, so making them disappear is better."
Ruby, "..."
Click!
Oliver snapped his fingers again, releasing golden flames from his fingers.
It was originally very small but as it shot into the air, it became enormous, moving like the wind passing through the air.
The leaves in the garden instantly became dry from the heat.
Due to her own initial expectations, Isabel was strangely not that surprised when she saw the golden flames coming out of Oliver's finger.
She was just amazed, couldn't be more amazed than now.
The man she had always been worried about since the start of the civilization test turned out to be the true figure of the Shadow Flame King, the figure that took the world by storm with his power.
How could it be him?
No, how did he get his power?
Isabel was so filled with questions that she no longer had time to pay attention to the young soldiers who came with her.
In fact, they were also too shocked to react, only able to stare at the golden flames with their eyes and mouths wide open.
Shua!
They were still silent as the flames descended towards them.
However, when the flames began to burn them, their screams instantly echoed, as if they came from hell.
Only, it was very brief, like the sound of a mosquito passing next to the ear.
People who heard it were probably made to think that they had just heard something.
The golden flames disappeared right after that, leaving nothing but flying dust.
Isabel finally realized what Oliver had just done.
Her eyes trembled endlessly at the knowledge.
A massacre, she had just seen a massacre, and it was done by the man she liked, the man she had known to have a gentle and relaxed nature.
Ruby couldn't believe Oliver's actions either.
After all, in her eyes he was still a young man, how could he commit an act like this.
For Oliver himself, this was something unexpected.
He felt unexpected about his own feelings after committing the massacre.
Apparently, he only felt a slight ripple in his heart.
He thought he had just swept a horde of ants off the floor.
'Did my emotions in the humanitarian field become lost because I have great power?'
He wondered while looking at his own hands.
However, a moment later he shook his head, discarding his thoughts.
This was a new world with a new way of life.
Acting cruelly was just one of the necessary skills because if it wasn't others who fell victim to his cruelty, it was he who would fall victim to the cruelty of others.
He was sure he hadn't lost his emotions, just evolved a bit with a new point of view.
