“Ok guys, grab on. I’ll teleport us as close as we can get to the capital. It’s this way isn’t it?”
The group teleported away.
----------------------------------------
“Soldiers, keep looking! We must find the path we just came from. There is no way it could’ve just disappeared.” said the new villain whose position and character and etc. you can extrapolate from the following dialogue.
“Lord Shujin Kou! The troops are tired. We’ve been searching for multiple hours now. I think we should let them res…..”
“Nonsense! It has been at most an hour. Don’t stop until we find the traitor or the path back home!”
*Onomatopoeia*
Sharlan and the group appeared in front of the small troop.
“Ha!!....Oh, so the traitor decided to come straight to us! How marvelous. You’re saving me a lot of work and I’ll get a fine reward after I retrieve your head. But before I kill you, tell us how to find the path back to the kingdom!”
“Huh? Where are we? Who's that yapper?” said Sharlan while trying to get a bearing of his surroundings “This doesn’t look like the capital. Did I misremember the direction?”
“Don’t you dare ignore me! I’m talking to you! Guards attack him!”
“Sharlan watch out!”
It wasn’t a problem, he’s overpowered now (again but fr this time).
“What’s with all these small fry. Where is the king! Answer me and I might spare your life!”
“Who do you make yourself out to be! Do you know who I am!? I’m the 3rd grand duke of the….”blah blah blah I don’t really care! I’ll give you one more chance to tell me where the king is!” Sharlan interrupted so arrogantly that the formatting followed his example.

“You think you can defeat me so easily? I dare you to try! You won’t last a second! I have a string.length().get() value of 22! I am one of Aso's greatest sorcerers!”
“Impressive, however, I don’t fight weaklings like you!” said Sharlan arrogantly while starting to walk away.
“Kisama! I wil….”
“You know what, fine! I’ll fight you but only if you manage to land a single blow on me. I won’t even resist. Let me see what you got.” Sharlan understood that nothing this nobody tried would even approach the power he was at now. He felt like playing around a bit to see if he might get any information while trying to analyze the environment and try to figure out which direction to teleport in next.
Hmm. Why does it have to be night rn. I wish there was at least some kind of land mark. I don’t know enough of fairyland’s astronomy to be able to navigate by the stars.
“Oh, so you’re trying to make my job easy? Fine, so be it! You asked for it!
Blackness blacker than black and blacker than black,
I beseech thee, combine with my deep black.
The time of brooding cometh.” emo incantation much
He created a relatively medium sized fireball (like bro, that’s like the lamest attack and that just happened to be your extraneous? Like I actually feel bad for you, like as the author! Like, I would help you out if I had the authority but sadly that’s my programmer’s jurisdiction.) and shot it at Sharlan.
“Pff” Sharlan laughed at how puny it was even compared to his fake magic system fireballs. The man’s just got bigger balls. Nothing much you can do about it man. Anyway,
“Sharlan!”
The other side characters are still yelling like as if he wasn’t the most powerful person in the world right now. Honestly, even the dragon might not be able to withstand his rotational power at this point.
The fireball exploded and created a huge cloud of smoke concealing Sharlan and increasing the worry of the side characters like the classic, “is he dead?” scene.
“Ha ha ha! I told you that you shouldn’t have messed with me. Now, I hope that his head still remains so that I can present it to the king and he shall hang it on a wall.”
“Hang my head?” Sharlan’s voice was heard from the cloud and soon his silhouette darkened to reveal his features. “I think you’ve got the wrong guy buddy.”
“Masaka! It can’t be! That should’ve killed you! There is no way that you should still be alive right now! It must’ve been a fluke!” He started preparing his next fireball.
“Hit me all you want but it won’t do a thing! I’m invincible! Ha ha ha! Now, it’s time for you to die!” His eye lit up red all chuunibyou like and he teleported forward which scared Shujin and caused him to release prematurely. Uhh. Yamete. lol. Another cloud of smoke rose up and Shujin’s guards were all like “Did he get him?” and “There’s no way he’d survive it at point blank!”
The cloud started clearing up and Sharlan’s silhouette wasn’t showing up.
“Ha ha! I knew it! I’ve finally killed the traitor!”
“Wait! Behind you!” yelled a guard that was more informed of classic tropes.
“Huh?” Shujin turned around to see a squirrel leave a bush. “What are you messing around for? You almost gave me a heart attack. Now, let’s go claim the body.” They went over to where Sharlan should’ve been. “Huh? Where is it? Don’t tell me…”
“That’s right!” Shujin turned around as fast as his obesity let him. “The body is like 2 meters away from where he got hit. It’s probably that rotation ability he was using at the beginning of the story.” They picked up the body and put it in the trunk of their suv. “Aww, it’s a shame his brain exploded. I would’ve loved to present it to the king.” They drove away after having finally killed Sharlan.
No one said that he was immune to energy projectiles. Remember his problem with water in like chapter 10 or something like that.
