Landlord World - Start with SSS talent-Chapter 59: Master, you don’t have the right to refuse

After Hawke and all of his heroes perished, a woman emerged from behind a tree.

She had long black hair, bat-like wings on her back, and a blood-red dress.

Yes, it was Vylyss.

She glanced at Raito, who lay motionless on the ground, then waved her hand. Instantly, a chain pierced through his head.

Of course, he had no idea why or how he had died.

Vylyss closed her eyes, and a gentle breeze radiated outward from her as its center.

A moment later, she opened her eyes and said, "Master, there is no surveillance magic present. Everything is safe."

At that moment, from the shadow of a large tree, a dark veil slowly dissipated, revealing Noan’s figure.

He stood up and walked toward Vylyss, his gaze shifting between Hawke’s corpse and Raito’s.

Seeing that both were dead, he nodded in satisfaction.

Suddenly, two glowing orbs appeared above the bodies of Hawke and Raito. They immediately flew toward Noan’s hand, leaving him puzzled.

Then, a system notification appeared in front of him.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully killed a Rank E+ Lord. You have obtained a Rank E+ Lord Crystal.]

[Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully killed a Rank E Lord. You have obtained a Rank E Lord Crystal.]

[Ding! The special ability of the talent ’Almighty Fusion’ activated.]

[If you collect 500 Rank F Lord Crystals, you can evolve your Lord rank to Rank E.]

[Note: When your Lord rank increases, ’Almighty Fusion’ will gain additional functions.]

Noan was startled as he read the system notifications.

He had never expected that his Lord rank could also be upgraded through the talent of Almighty Fusion.

Rubbing his chin, he thought, " So that means ’Almighty Fusion’ doesn’t allow me to fuse monsters, but also lets me increase my Lord rank.

He took a deep breath, feeling that this talent was simply too terrifying.

And, of course, once again, Noan felt reassured that his decision to keep the secret of his SSS-rank talent was right.

Setting aside the fact that it could elevate his Lord rank, the mere ability to evolve heroes and monsters made countless people crave it.

If he had enough resources, even a Rank F monster could be upgraded to Rank SS.

A talent that could shatter all limits and rules like this simply should not exist.

Noan understood the saying, "An innocent man carries guilt for possessing a treasured gem."

In this world, if you were stronger than others, they would grow jealous and seek to drag you down into the abyss simply because they couldn’t stand the thought of someone else standing above them.

Noan looked at the two glowing orbs in his hands, unsure where to store them.

"Master, what are you looking at?"

"Hm?!" Hearing Vylyss’s question, Noan frowned and asked, "You don’t see the two glowing lights in my hands?"

Vylyss tilted her head, then stepped closer, lowering her gaze to his palms. But from her perspective, there was absolutely nothing there.

Realizing that Vylyss couldn’t see the Lord Crystals in his hands, Noan suddenly understood—only he could see and hold these objects.

Wait a minute! A thought suddenly struck him. Vylyss can’t see the Lord Crystals… then what about other Lords?

Noan wanted to test this theory. It was always better to be cautious.

Shaking his head, he said, "It’s nothing! You’ve thoroughly checked the area and confirmed that there’s no one around. No surveillance magic or magical artifacts tracking us?"

"That’s right," Vylyss replied, tilting her head. "There’s nothing within a 1,000-meter radius."

Hearing that, Noan nodded slightly, feeling somewhat relieved.

In truth, he had wanted Hawke to suffer and regret ever laying a hand on him.

However, Noan felt there was no need to dwell on the process. How things unfolded no longer mattered—only the results did.

By handling things carefully like this, even in death, Hawke and Raito had no way of knowing why they had died or who had killed them. Noan had made sure to leave no trace of himself behind.

He feared that Hawke and Raito might have been carrying some magical artifact that could reveal their killer, which would only bring him more trouble and complications.

For that reason, Noan had decided to let Vylyss handle it. After all, she was a hero and possessed the ability to hide within the shadows.

In an area populated only by Rank E and Rank F Lords, Vylyss was undeniably the strongest existence.

At the start, Noan deceives Raito, making him believe that Noan is tricked.

Then, he had Vylyss cast a hypnosis spell on Raito. Since Raito was merely a Rank E Lord at Level 1, he could not resist Vylyss’s power.

Under her influence, Raito quickly fell under control and revealed everything to Noan.

Finally, Noan decided to use Raito to lure Hawke to this location—where they would all meet their end.

Naturally, no one besides Raito and Hawke knew what had transpired.

Fortunately for Noan, Hawke was unwilling to bring too many people with him, so he made a secret deal with Raito instead.

"Leave no traces behind," Noan ordered with a frown.

Vylyss smiled. "Yes, Master."

A moment later, a dark veil emerged, enveloping all the corpses before shrinking into a compact sphere.

The chilling sound of bones snapping echoed continuously—inside the black mass, it was as if a hydraulic press was crushing everything within.

A short while later, the sphere had compressed to the size of a fist. Vylyss picked it up and flung it far into the forest’s depths.

It soared more than five miles before exploding, scattering blood and fragmented flesh everywhere.

Of course, no one could reach this place, and whatever remained of the corpses would gradually vanish.

After Vylyss finished cleaning up the scene, Noan spoke. "Take me to that wall."

Understanding where Noan wanted to go, Vylyss wrapped her arms around his waist and flew deeper into the forest.

After traveling more than twenty miles, Vylyss pointed ahead and said, "There!"

She gently set Noan down, and he stepped forward.

But after only a few steps, he was abruptly stopped by an invisible wall.

Indeed, this wall was truly invisible. If he hadn’t collided with it, he wouldn’t have realized its existence.

Noan extended his hand and tapped against it, yet no sound was produced. He frowned.

It felt as if the wall absorbed all the force of his impact.

"How far does it extend?" Noan asked, his brow furrowed.

Vylyss tilted her head, placing a delicate finger on her lips, before replying softly, "This place is quite large, but I believe the wall completely encloses the entire area."

"There aren’t any gaps?"

"Well…" Vylyss sighed and said, "There are truly no openings. Even after Urlgan dug more than ten meters deep, he couldn’t find its end."

"I also tried flying up as high as possible, but the limit is 1,000 meters above ground—I couldn’t go any higher."

Hearing this, Noan nodded, realizing this place was a massive cage.

The question now was—how could he escape?

Would everyone be transported back to the city after thirty days? No, he doubted it would be that simple.

More likely, something even more terrifying would happen after those thirty days. By then, he would need to be fully prepared to defend himself.

Returning to the present, Noan looked at Vylyss and asked, "What about the canyon? Can you get out that way?"

Vylyss shook her head. "Impossible. This invisible wall also blocks the entrance to the canyon."

Noan frowned, feeling a bit frustrated. Did he have to explore further down the other two paths?

"Alright, have everyone search the area. If anything unusual happens, report it to me first. Don’t act recklessly," Noan instructed.

"Most importantly, you need to keep yourself safe, understand? If you encounter danger, escape immediately—don’t take unnecessary risks."

Hearing this, Vylyss felt a warm sensation in her heart. She gazed at Noan’s face, a playful glint flashing in her eyes as she decided to tease him a little.

"Master, since there’s no one around and no zombies in sight, shouldn’t we take a moment to enjoy the scenery?"

Noan: "..."

I’m being serious here, and all she’s thinking about is that?!

He sighed and shook his head. "No, I—ack!"

Before he could finish speaking, Vylyss had already pinned him to the ground, her soft hands caressing his face.

A seductive fragrance filled his nose, clouding his thoughts and making it hard to stay rational.

Vylyss smiled wickedly, like a hungry wolf gazing at a clueless little rabbit.

"Master, you don’t have the right to refuse."

Noan: "..."
