RETURN OF THE EMPEROR

CHAPTER 44: LARS

While Cancer was being preoccupied by Capricorn, Lars sat at level 4 of the mine. He has been keeping the mine Myro universal go, as the elder of this place then Lars will guard the mine every day and only get a vacation once a month.

Lars sat at level 4 and stared at this empty mine "Every time it's lunchtime, this mine does feel very empty. Should I eat the food I have prepared? After all, the disciples should not return before lunch time is over".

After thinking for a while, Lars picked up his lunch box. He had been guarding the mine for several days which made him know that the disciples would not be in the mine because they had to return to the sect for lunch.

As Lars opened his lunch and was about to start eating, a female voice emerged from behind him "You had lunch here alone? Aren't you bored?".

"Who is that?", Lars immediately turned around in surprise, he could not feel anyone's existence before so the appearance of this woman was very surprising.

As Lars stared at the person who came, a sense of caution disappeared from her face "It turns out Miss Libra, why did you bother coming here? Do you have a job I have to do?".

The one who called Lars just now was a Libra wearing his maid outfit, Libra smiled politely before saying "No masala whatsoever, no masala whatsoever, master only told me to come to the sect and conduct an examination if the enemy attacked again".

Lars face immediately froze, he did not believe the smiling Libra. After all, he has seen Libra, but every time Lars meets Libra then his face will certainly be very flat, more precisely Libra never smiles or angry which is almost like a robot.

Suddenly a bad feeling appeared in Lars' heart, after all Myro had warned them beforehand not to trust the zodiacs too much unless Myro was with them. Moreover, the Libra in front of him is very strange, Libra is unlikely to smile.

Even though he already knew of the oddity, Lars still smiled politely while his other hand moved silently to grab the sword behind his body "It turns out that master sent Miss Libra here to check on her, then I will report that there is nothing strange about this mine, everything is going normally without any problems".

"Is everything really going normally?" said Libra still smiling at Lars, but the smile made Lars feel very cold "If there's nothing strange here then I'll ask you, why should you try to take your sword? Didn't you realize there was something strange here?".

Lars face changed because he had been caught, Lars took his sword without hesitation before throwing the sword at Libra, he used a lot of energy to throw the sword.

After doing so, Lars no longer attacks Libra, knowing that he will not be able to win.

So a wing of a white angel appeared behind Lars, he joined his angelic holy spirit before turning around and flying away from this place as quickly as possible.

Lars' speed is very fast because the angel spirit is part of the spirit that has the ability to fly the fastest.

"Shelf!".

Libra hits Lars' sword which will stab him easily, but Lars uses a lot of energy on it but Libra stops it as if it were just a small insect.

"It turns out you did notice something strange here, but why did you leave so soon? Though I did not give you permission to escape at all, therefore you cannot leave! Children, catch and eat the man!", cried Libra who pointed towards Lars, there was not the slightest panic on Libra's face as he was already convinced that Lars could not escape from his hands.

"Shelf!".

The monster ran to chase after Lars, but Lars was very fast and had flown first so that this worm monster would not be able to chase after him.

"Foolish worm, you won't be able to catch it if you're that late!", said Libra, who was very unhappy with this worm monster "It seems that there's no other choice but to use my abilities, otherwise then this stupid worm would definitely not be able to catch him!".

A giant golden scales slowly appeared behind Libra, then a confident smile appeared on his face "I am Libra the Scales, the epitome of injustice because I am a one-sided scale!".

Slowly the scales behind the previously balanced Libra turn into one-sided, along with the change in the Libra scales, the change also happens to Lars and the worm monster.

Lars felt his entire body was extremely heavy, even his flying movements became slower as if there was a stone on top of his body which made him become slower.

Different from Lars, the worm monster was moving faster and faster, it continued to reduce its distance from Lars and it was only a matter of time before Lars would be caught by him.

Libra laughs loudly at everything that happens "Hahahaha, run away! Run with all the power you have, lest I catch you because you will regret falling into my hands!".

Libra is now running with worm monsters, even running speed Libra is much faster than the worm monster, whereas Libra absolutely does not use the power of scales to accelerate itself. Libra only uses the power of scales to accelerate the worm monster.

When Lars was about to be overtaken, he finally found a hole leading up that was back to the sect.

A smile appeared on Lars face, he flew upwards without hesitation to escape from this place.

Lars flew using all his strength until he was very close to the bright light at the end of this road, meaning that the way back to the sect was already in sight. As Lars reached out his hand to catch the light, a gunshot sounded.

"Dorrrr!".

Lars spewed out a mouthful of blood, he stared at his heart which had a hole from a bullet shot.

As a result of the shot, the wing behind Lars' body could not be moved anymore, it seems that this bullet is not the same as a normal bullet.

Lars who was near from the light fell back to the ground, when he fell then Lars found that the worm monster had already opened its mouth filled with sharp teeth, he was ready to eat Lars.

Next to the giant worm monster, Libra stood holding a rifle in his hand, the one who shot Lars just now was Libra.

Lars body that could not move its wings anymore fell towards the mouth of a giant worm, any human would definitely not be able to survive as long as their heart was already destroyed, the same is true for Lars today.
