21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 569 - 565: The So-Called France (Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Chen Yu did want to live the life of an ordinary person and enjoy the pleasure of being one, but that did not mean he would tolerate provocations from others, especially when someone targeted his newlywed wife.

Deities can conceal their divine pressure and draw close to the most humble of followers, but that does not mean they can be desecrated, not even Demigods can tolerate such blasphemous acts from mortals.

The might of a Demigod is not something mortals can withstand. Once Chen Yu unleashed his aura, in an instant, those who intended to commit sacrilege were blown away by his presence. Some of the more unlucky ones were smashed directly against the wall by the roadside, becoming decorations on the wall, half a day before falling off.

Using the descriptions Chen Yu had read in so-called National arts novels, it was like hanging paintings when striking people.

"Honey, is this really alright? It's creating quite a commotion!" Jounouchi Hiromi didn't comment on Chen Yu's actions, only worried that it might cause unnecessary trouble. She sensed that at least three Legendary-rank beings were heading their way.

Chen Yu naturally sensed them coming as well. Besides the three Legendary-rank existences, there were also several weaker presences rushing towards them. Clearly, the aura Chen Yu released had startled Paris's Transcendents.

Noticing this, Chen Yu simply did not retract his aura. Instead, he took Jounouchi Hiromi's hand and together they leapt onto the rooftop of a nearby building.

As for those blasphemous fools on the ground, Chen Yu had no interest in delivering a killing blow. If they lived, it was their luck; if they died, they had it coming.

The three strongest Legendary beings naturally arrived the fastest, and with Chen Yu not concealing his aura, they didn't waste any time searching and headed directly toward his location.

Among the three Legendary-rank beings, one was an old priest garbed in a black Priest's robe, another was a tall woman clad in a ladies' suit, and the last one was a tall, slender young man in a tailcoat with a pale complexion.

Although the tall and slender young man appeared the youngest, everyone present could tell that he was actually the oldest, for he was a Legendary-rank Vampire.

However, for this Vampire, he was the one among the three Legendary-rank beings who felt the most pressure.

Since his power essence was related to darkness and blood, as a Vampire, he could clearly sense the overwhelming blood energy from Jounouchi Hiromi and the vast Shin'i from Chen Yu, along with a higher level of power, which brought oppression.

"Who are you? Don't you know it's forbidden to use Legendary or higher powers within the city?" The woman among them asked first, but even though she was female, her voice was filled with the clanging of swords and galloping of horses, as if she could turn her voice into a blade at any moment.

The woman's impolite questioning immediately aroused Chen Yu's dissatisfaction. With a slight hardening in his gaze, the divine pressure of a prison god descended upon the woman, making her feel an enormous weight as if a mountain rested on her shoulders, and even caused the concrete floor where she stood to crack under the immense pressure.

"Hasn't anyone taught you that you should remain humble before deities?" Chen Yu finally retracted his imposing aura only after the woman was pressed down to kneel on one knee, turning to look at the woman who was already drenched in cold sweat.

"A god?" The woman couldn't believe what she saw in Chen Yu. Although he had never restrained his domineering presence, she had never considered him to be a god. She felt that his aura might be stronger than any Legendary figure she had encountered and perhaps had even reached another realm, but she had never regarded Chen Yu as a deity.

Just as the woman's disbelief was setting in, the Vampire beside her bowed deeply to Chen Yu with utmost humility, "The son of Lilith, Gilles de Rais pays his respects to you, great Demigod."

"Gilles de Rais? The companion of the Holy Maiden Joan of Arc? I didn't expect you to be a Vampire," Chen Yu said, somewhat surprised by the name the Vampire revealed.

The name Gilles de Rais, thanks to the recent spread of various films, TV series, and games associated with Joan of Arc, had become known to the public as the Marshal of France who fought by her side.

His crime of torturing and killing three hundred children after the death of Joan of Arc was indeed appalling. Moreover, the fact that no portraits of him existed, and that his tomb was desecrated during the French Revolution without his corpse being found, added a layer of myth to his story. But if a Vampire was behind all this, then his historical atrocities and various legendary tales became understandable.

"I'm flattered that such a respected Demigod would know of me," Gilles de Rais said, his manners filled with aristocratic elegance and nearly impeccable. However, when mentioning the Holy Maiden Joan of Arc, a fleeting look of nostalgia and guilt passed over his face, "I am no longer worthy to speak of that honorable name, nor am I worthy to be called her comrade."

Looking at the Vampire entangled in self-accusation, Chen Yu then turned his gaze to the old priest who had remained silent. Though the priest was only wearing the simplest of black robes, the Legendary-rank aura emanating from him was the densest among the three, subtly reaching the limit of the Legendary-rank.

"Then, may I ask for an introduction, sir?" Chen Yu showed ample respect for the elderly priest who had attained the limit of the Legendary-rank, out of deference to his age as well as his power.

"I am but a humble shepherd of my Lord," the old priest said with a very humble and amiable attitude, without showing any aggressiveness, "May I ask why such a respected Demigod would reveal your majesty in the city?"

"Because those lowly robbers wanted to rob me, and they had indecent intentions towards my wife. Don't you think they deserve punishment?" Chen Yu said, glancing specifically at the woman still kneeling and not yet standing up.

Upon hearing Chen Yu's explanation, both Gilles de Rais and the old priest sensed a great irony in his response. These fools had chosen to rob someone who should not be provoked, a Human Demi-God no less, and even harbored intentions against his wife...

It could only be said that they were incredibly bold. Chen Yu's simple reprimand seemed to them the epitome of leniency.

However, the woman kneeling on the ground struggled to her feet, still determined to fulfill her duties, "The French Government has regulations that no Transcendent being may use power above the Legendary-rank within the city! You are in violation of French laws by doing this!"
