Chapter 117: Five Leaders

117 Five Leaders

Alex waited for him for a few hours. Finally, the principal finally comes back. His appearance was a mess. It seems He rushed himself to here.
"Let's go to the council" The Principal grabbed his hand.
Alex was silent.
"What?"
Alex scratched his cheek embarrassedly. "It is embarrassing for me to ask this. But, Principal, I still didn't know your name... Teacher never tell me"
"…" The principal was dumbfounded. "That old man sure has a weird disciple. Whatever, I haven't introduced myself too, even though you have come all the way here. I am Florest McDave"
"Florest?"
"Don't mind it…" The principal pulled Alex hurriedly. He also embarrassed by his name. He can't tell him that he was born in a hut in the middle of the forest. His parents wanted to name him 'Forest' but it was confusing if he is in the forest. That's why they throw an 'L' and his name become 'Florest'.
He pulled him to the council. The building wasn't that far from where he stays. Now that he almost arrived at the bottom of the Divine Tree. He finally can see that the Divine Tree was surrounded by a building. It seems this place is the council headquarter. Alex asked Sherry to conceal herself inside him.
They enter the building. Inside of it was the same as the castle. It was like a labyrinth. He followed the Principal since he knows the way. Until they finally reached a place. The place was grand like the meeting hall in the castle back in Capital City. But, the throne isn't one, instead, there are five thrones. It must because of five big races. And he is right, on the five thrones. Five big races leader sat on it. From the left, they are Centaur, Druid, Elf, Dwarf, and Titan. The most bothering is Titan, with its giant body reaching ten meters in height alone, it made his throne enormous.
Alex looked at them. The centaur is the same as the description on Earth. A human with a horse body, but Alex can perceive, in his body, there is boundless fighting intent. Yep, it seems the centaur as a race that loves fighting is true. Strong body and Brave look. Alex didn't want any trouble with this guy. The Druid was identical to the old druid he met back in Druid Territory. He wondering if they are related? In the middle is an elven queen it seems, mature look, sexy body, and that peerless beauty, especially that Silver hair, she reminded him to the elf beside Ayaka. She was on par with Alicia and Firia in terms of look. The Dwarf has a small body and beard as your typical dwarf. And lastly the Titan.
"Welcome, young human, Alexander" The elven queen greeted him.
Alex put his hand on his chest and bowed, like a nobleman greeting. Alex didn't say anything. He didn't need to introduce himself since they already know his name.
"I heard you have the Life Water. I wonder where it is?"
Alex looked at the Principal who nodded his head. Alex took out the Life Water from his space ring.
"Space?" The elven queen who was known to be the most knowledgable stood up. On the other hand, the druid also stood up but for a different matter. He focused his eyes on the Life Water. He confirmed that it is really a Life Water. "Life Water! It is really the Life Water. Our Divine Tree can finally be saved"
"I see. Since Old Druid, Rain, have confirmed it, Then it must be true. Then, young human, Alexander, what do you want to exchange from this Life Water?"
"The whole demi-human races assistance to stop the war."
"Ho…" The Centaur frowned. As a fight loving race, if there is no problem with their Divine Tree, he really wanted to join the war.
"You want our assistance to stop the war?"
"Yes"
"Why do you want to stop the war?"
"I love peace, at least the people won't have any fear when they sleep at night, thinking their land will be taken or when the enemy will come and kill you"
"Hmm, but I feel that you are more threatening than the war itself… 18 years old rank 8. What if you become 20? 30? Or even 40? When you reached a much higher level, our races would be threatened. And since you presented the Life Water for us by yourself. We can just kill you here and take that Life Water." They were informed by the old druid that guided Alex to here about Alex's Strength. The Queen released her mana. The other leaders also released their mana.
Alex frowned. Principal Florest immediately went in front of him and released his mana to protect Alex. But still suppressed by the five leaders rank 8 mana. "Your Majesty Elven Queen. What do you mean by that? And the rest of you leaders. He is a threat? Do you think that the one who stops the war and even comes all the way to here will do that?"
"We don't know about the future. He might only want to stop this war for now so he can build his strength. After he got the strength, he will be a threat to our races. So I think it's better to kill him here. If you wanted to prevent us from that, We might also need to kill you"
"Killing us here would only start a new war. Did you consider our relationship? We did many favors to your races but this is what we get?"
"If you compared that favors with him. We think that he is more important. And can the Human also bear the attack from the demi-human together with the demons?"
Alex suddenly patted the Principal Shoulder. He stores the Life Water inside his space ring once again. "Now, Life Water is gone. Your Divine Tree will die. Even if you kill me here, you won't get the Life Water back. But it is truly laughable…"
"Laughable?" The queen frowned.
"It's nothing. I heard from my Master. Back then, Five thousand years ago, when the whole demi-human races facing its extinction, my Master who was a human saved the whole races. I think he is more threatening than I am now. But not only the whole race think him as an enemy. They even presented the Life Water for him. Isn't it basically telling him, that the whole race indebted to him and entrusted him with the fate of their whole race? My master gave me this Life Water, he still hopes to help this race. But the new generation of demi-humans seems didn't inherit their honesty and pride. That's why I find it laughable."
"You-"
Suddenly the door behind Alex and the Principal opened. "Mother"
"Lilia?"
Alex looked back, he found the elven princess that he saved before. Alex frowned, In this kind situation, let's check how much she's worth. Alex immediately disappeared.
"Not good"
The moment he appeared, he already arrived in front of Lilia.
"You are- Gah" Lilia was surprised.
Alex immediately put his hand on her neck. One movement from him enough to kill the rank 3 elven princess.
"Wait!"
"You, what are you doing?" Lilia looked at Alex desperately. At first, she wanted to inform his mother. That a human save her when she was outside. And he wanted to go to the Divine City, But she never thought that Alex already reached this place and they meet again in this kind of situation.
"Nothing, I just want to see your worth. But it seems it was better than my expectation" Alex said coldly.
"Wha- You…" Lilia looked at him in disbelieve.
"Sigh, Elven Queen. I already told you that I object to this. Look at the condition now, no Life Water, your successor becomes his hostage, and I heard that he also has a rank 8 monster beside him. If you really wanted to do this path. If you fail to kill him now, Our races would be wiped out by him. Our Titan race was the most neutral and abstain from worldly matters. But we know our gratitude and favors. Sigh, If come down to that, I think I will side with him. Since even I know his identity. I'm sure you also known since you are the most knowledgable from all of us. his identity and his 'Master' Identity." The titan leader suddenly let out a sound after this whole time.
"Our dwarf will do the same. Considering our relationship from more than a hundred years ago. I agreed with the Titan Leader. But I still wondering, how can you be a disciple of a man from 5000 years ago? Are you sure you are his disciple?"
Alex knew that from those two speeches, it seems they will back him up. And the princess in front of him seems worth more than his expectation. As for the last question from the dwarf leader. Alex only smiled. He didn't want to explain it.
The principal looked at the old druid.
The old druid finally sighed. Since the two leaders have back Alex's up. Killing him is impossible for now. If he comes back for revenge, it won't be good for their entire race. He gave up. "Since, Florest also did us a big favor to our druid. We agreed to it"
That's three if this situation handled by Voting, then Alex would already win. But it seems that wasn't the case. He looked at the Principal.
Florest knew what his thought, He whispered the reason to him. Alex was a bit surprised to hear the reason. It seems that he needed the agreement from all races leaders before they finally decided to help him. For now, The Titan, the Dwarf, and the Druid supported him. Two more to go.
"Let my daughter go first"
Alex frowned. But the Titan leader and the Dwarf leader immediately persuaded him.
"Young human, Alexander. Please let her go first. No matter what happened, I swear on my Titan race, we will back you up as long as our Divine Tree recovered"
"Our Dwarf race also swore to back you up"
Alex pondered for a moment before he let her go. Lilia immediately went to her mother after she was released by Alex. She whispered something to her. There is a shocked face plant on the Elven Queen's face. She rumbling with herself for a quite while before she finally agreed. "Fine. Our race will help you if our Divine Tree recovered."
Then all of them turned their heads to the last leader, The Centaur leader. "Our Centaur race respect the strong. If you wanted to convince me, then convince me through your strength"
The dwarf, the titan, and the druid facepalmed. It seems they know this will happen.
"Centaur Leader!"
"As I already said, Our centaur race respect the strong. Since you claimed yourself as the legendary ascender disciple who was once saved our entire races. You need to have the strength to back up that claim." The fighting spirit that he released was very overwhelming
"Young human, Alexander. You don't need to agree to him. I'm sure we can convince him" The titan leader said.
"That's right. We will convince him" The dwarf nodded.
Alex remembered what his teacher said. He said that he will immediately go to the battlefield. So he wanted the people here also rushed. But convincing this centaur leader might be a tough job. Seeing the fighting spirit in the centaur leader. They might need more time to convince him. "I think, it will be faster if I do it"
"What? Young human, Alexander, Are you sure?" The titan and the dwarf leaders were surprised.
"Bahaha… This human understands it better than you two." The centaur leader laughed happily. While the other leaders facepalmed. The centaur leader immediately leaped from his seat. "Let's fight"
"Wait. Do you wanted to destroy this place?" The elven queen immediately stopped him.
"Haha, I don't really mind though. We can build it again later"
"How about one move to decide? that way, you won't destroy this place" The druid gave his suggestion.
"Hmm…" The centaur leader pondered for a moment. "One move was too little. But, alright. We will decide this in one move. Show me your best move."
Alex frowned.
"What? Are you scared?" The centaur provoked him.
Alex shook his head. He recalled when he used 'that' move when fighting the dean."No. I just scared if I will accidentally kill you"
"What?" The centaur was angered. "Show me then. I will destroy that move easily. I might accidentally destroy your pride"
Alex looked at the other leaders who can only sigh and nod their heads. Alex looked at the principal who also nodded his head. Alex sighed.
The centaur pulled out his sword. He released his mana fully. Alex looked at the centaur leader. His mana can't be compared to his teacher, his technique or his weapon... he didn't know about it. He really wondered if this centaur leader can block 'that' move. Alex also pulled out his sword from the sheath. He raised it with his both hand. He clad the sword with his mana. The sword started glowing with a bright red color.
"Oh, a sword wave huh… Fine by me. I am also adept in that move." The centaur also raised his sword. His sword started glowing. He seems going to use the same move as Alex, a sword wave. But suddenly he frowned when he looked at Alex's sword. He felt dread from the tyrannical pressure emitted from the sword. But he can't back down from this.
