Darius Supreme

Darius calmly watched as 12 Master stage experts were deployed from the enemy's side while their footsoldiers retreated. After all, if a battle were to break out, they would be naught but cannon fodder in such an engagement.

Darius cast his eyes over the 12, noticing that they were a mix of male and female, all of them bearing different styles and powers. Starting from the left was a short woman with a heavy bust and a strange smile.

She had water blue hair and icy blue eyes, her attire being a knee-length dress that was intricately woven to show great aesthetic.

[Lian Heifer - Level 67 Cryomancer

HP: 391/391 MP: 7,030/7,030 STA: 1,139/1,139]

After her was another woman who was slightly more menacing. She wore a black leather outfit that resembled a mix between an assassin and a thief. She had a scarlet scarf around her neck and her short red hair was extremely messy.

Minus the sharp dagger she flourished idly, her dark green eyes were extremely menacing as she glared at Darius.

[Ferg Justo - Level 65 Silencer

HP: 930/930 MP: 1,235/1,235 STA: 4,510/4,510]

Beside them was a large man who wore very little. Apart from some pants on his lower body, his upper body was bare and hairy. He had an extremely chiseled face and his hair was shaggy.

Darius noticed he was smiling menacingly at Gunner, a provocative glint in his eye. Using Analyze, he saw the reason for this.

As it turned out, the fellow was also a half-giant, though non-royal.

[Boris - Level 62 Brawler

HP: 9,996/9,996 MP: 930/930 STA: 6,076/6,076]

Then there was another woman, this time one who was smiling at Darius with great interest. She was beautiful for sure, and wore a very revealing seat of red-colored medium armor as she flourished her blade playfully.

She was tall with emerald hair reaching her back and dark green eyes that radiated malevolent playfulness.

[Genie Orman - Level 70 Sword Mistress

HP: 1,875/1,875 MP: 1,095/1,095 STA: 4,550/4,550]

Beside the swordswoman was a swordsman who wore a brown trenchcoat and battle boots. He had neatly combed blond hair and blue eyes with a slightly handsome visage, greatly resembling Genie before him.

He held a bastard sword in a ready position, his expression one of an angry frown.

[Kilo Orman - Level 74 Swordmaster

HP: 2,600/2,600 MP: 1,100/1,100 STA: 4,970/4,970]

And after him stood another man who was gallantly mounted upon a horse, wearing heavy armor. He had wavy grey hair and long sideburns that formed into a thick mustache and beard. His eyes were a soft blue color and he wore an amicable smile.

[Davis Keplun - Level 76 Lance-General

HP: 3,592/3,592 MP: 1,296/1,296 STA: 4,256/4,256]

The next three men were a set of triplets. They were all tall and handsome fellows with features similar to Darius in the sense that they were slightly effeminate to the point of being androgynous.

The first wore leather armor with a cloak, holding two shortswords in each hand. The second wore medium armor and held a greatsword in hand while the final brother wore heavy armor and had a shield as well as a bell hammer.

The trio formed a very dangerous combination, outshining all the others that had stepped forth.

[Hugo Genesson - Level 75 Speed-Blade

HP: 1,205/1,205 MP: 1,125/1,125 STA: 1,675/1,675]

[Jones Genesson - Level 74 Power-Blade

HP: 2,968/2,968 MP: 1,110/1,110 STA: 4,588/4,588]

[Blankson Genesson - Level 76 Shield Guardian

HP: 6,925/6,925 MP: 520/520 STA: 5,980/5,980]

The final three of the 12 Masters were three dark-skinned people, one man, one woman, and one… both? The first man was tall and had a clean shaved face with an army cut fade.

His eyes were brown and his hair was a normal black color, his upper body wrapped in thick leather strips that displayed his abs.

The woman was quite short and extremely sensual, but not by intention. She wore a modest attire of a mixture of leather and cloth, but her hips and bust were likely the thickest Darius had seen since he entered Faust.

She had average features as well with a ponytail of brown hair and dark eyes that were placid. Her hands were placed akimbo, and she gazed at Xela with interest.

Finally, there was a… man?... with soft features that wore heavy makeup and had questionable clothes on. He only wore a tight vest that displayed his upper body and booty shorts that did not fit the occasion at all.

His eyes were glued to Gunner as he salivated slightly, making Gunner shiver all over.

[Jax Mensuro - Level 72 Boxer

HP: 1,654/1,645 MP: 850/850 STA: 3,032/3,032]

[Delight Keemi - Level 61 Specialist

HP: 780/780 MP: 3,340/3,340 STA: 1,588/1,588]

[Lovelace Darlington - Level 79 Spirit Controller

HP: 955/955 MP: 5,209/5,209 STA: 1,256/1,256]

Darius noted that as they approached their group, all of them simultaneously paled greatly and froze where they were, staring at the three of them in shock.

Darius smiled as this had to be the effect of those Masters falling under the jurisdiction of the Supreme System.

The feeling should be extremely discomfiting, and in the case for most of them, result in a slight weakening. After all, how things worked with the native laws of the world and how the Supreme System handled things were fundamentally different.

It didn't damage those at the Amateur-Adept stage much, but against Masters and above, they certainly felt it. Fake Lords like Thor and Krona did not feel it because the Supreme System purposefully ignored them.

As for Grandmasters, Darius wasn't sure since he hadn't actually encountered or Analyzed one ever since he came to Faust, but it was only a matter of time.

Darius held his Dragonscale Staff, Xela took out the Holy Circlet and wore it, while Gunner manifested his Mageward Barrier as well as Earth's Guardian aura as they walked forward.

"Greetings fellow Masters from afar. My name is Darius Stone, Lord of a City to the North and a Baron of Andrato Kingdom."

Darius greeted them with a thin smile and a light bow.

"I won't be making a gaffe by demanding an explanation for this invasion, would I?"
