Chapter 540: Xerome’s Battle
The beautiful woman had a dreadful expression on her face as she called out to Xerome in worry, but she stepped back after seeing her husband’s glare, Xerome finally stood up from the chair and looked at the tall man with an indifferent expression.
A fight was inevitable and this man was obviously stronger than Xerome, he might at max fight one or two of the guards standing behind him and that feat is already great too since all of these men have been in the 1st Order for quite a long time.
But for some reason Xerome didn’t want to back down, he looked back at the woman who had a fearful expression on her face and was trembling, and then he spoke: ” Just wait a little, I’ll be back in a minute. ”
Then without any warning, Xerome threw a punch towards the nose of the tall guard, taking him by surprise plus he used his shadow ability so that the guard wouldn’t be able to see his hand.
*BOOM*
Xerome’s punch hit the tall man straight at his nose, he took a couple of wobbly steps back as blood poured out of his nose, but before Xerome could take advantage of this moment the three men standing behind him pounced towards Xerome with their weapons in hands.
Xerome immediately summoned his spirit as along with his body the area around him was engulfed by darkness and shadow, making it impossible for others to see him, then he began to attack them without properly revealing his own position.
” Get that bastard, he is hiding in there- ughhh ”
Within seconds the inside of the building was completely ruined, Xerome decided to use hit and run approach since the opposite side had an advantage in numbers and cultivation, but he was still alone in front of people who are similar in strength or stronger than him, so he was not able to maintain it for long.
After around a dozen minutes, one of the man finally succeeded in delivering a proper hit on Xerome’s body, his shadow ability isn’t the perfect defence so even after using it there are ways to hit him, Xerome was thrown out of the building as all four of the guards looked at him with cruel smiles on their faces.
They had only suffered minor injuries, and Xerome was not able to leave any fatal wounds on any of them, the tall man laughed and mocked Xerome as he said:
” Like it now, why don’t you share more of those cheesy lines now? You would not even be able to face yourself after I’m done with you, I’ll show you what it means to flirt with someone else’s woman. Kill him. ”
He looked at the other three guards and then ordered, by now Xerome was on his feet if he wanted he could have easily escaped but he didn’t want to just run away, since that has never been his style.
As the three guards approached him he smiled at them and took out a sword from his space ring as he mumbled: ” Sorry boss, but it seems I have again caused trouble for you. ”
While giving out a loud shout, they all charged forward although Xerome was in a bad position but he was fighting hard enough to injure the other side plus all his injuries healed within seconds.

” Haa I just left him for some time and he is already causing trouble for me, let’s see who is the unlucky soul this time. ”
Jayden was walking back towards the inn when he heard some kind of noise which was coming from a battle nearby, using Void skill he concentrated and soon found out that it was actually Xerome who was fighting against some guards.
” SWAP ”
Jayden mumbled and instantly appeared at the fighting scene, he looked over the five of them and wondered why Xerome’s bad luck was not working now, but it seems that it does not work at all times in the day and works randomly at any moment.
Xerome and the four guards were still engaged in an intense fight all the people from around had moved some distance away by now, their fight was becoming more and more destructive, and the building nearby had suffered quite a lot from their fight.
‘ Judging from the strength of the four guards, three of them seemed to be in the second tier of 1st Order while the tallest guard seemed to be in 3rd tier of 1st Order. ‘ Jayden thought as he assessed the strength of the four of them.
[ A / N: There are three tiers in each order. ]
‘ Xerome is doing pretty great, he is able to hold all four of them without giving them the chance to hit any of his critical points. ‘ while Jayden was thinking he heard Beta’s voice.
” Master, do we need to intervene? ” As Beta spoke, a slight hint of anger was visible in his tone, as even though the four men were stronger than Xerome when fighting together they were still not fighting seriously and it seemed they were making fun of him while slowly pushing him into a corner.
” No, let me know the situation first, though it won’t make any difference. ” Jayden spoke and looked to the side, he saw a spoon lying on the ground using Telekinesis he made it float and then threw it towards the five of them.
Xerome stepped back and then lunged forward to slash them with his sword while the four of them were running towards Xerome with big smiles on their faces, but all of a sudden something moved at an incredibly fast speed and hit the ground at exactly in the centre between Xerome and the four guards.
*BANG*
They all jumped back in fright, first, they looked down at the object that had lunged into the ground and had already disappeared into the land.
” A spoon? Who threw it towards me? ” The tall guard shouted as he looked around, everyone else had already moved further back, and only Jayden was standing some distance away from them.
The four guards frowned after seeing him but Xerome’s face became pale as all colours were drained from it after seeing Jayden, he gulped down and wanted to flee from the scene.
” Who the fuck are you now? You know that we are the guards right? And we are punishing this man for a crime so if you interfere, I’ll kill you along with him and believe me it would be very easy for me. ”
The tall guard said but Jayden just ignored him and stepped towards Xerome who was sweating profusely, and couldn’t even raise his head.
” Tell me what’s going on here? ” He asked, Xerome nodded and then began to explain without making any kind of changes while the guards just stood there stunned, since Jayden had really dared to ignore them while still inside this Kingdom.
” S- So boss, I saw a very beautiful woman and I was just pulled towards her and while we were talking this man came and… ” Xerome explained leaving the unnecessary things out of his explanation such as his cheesy lines.
