IDOLIZING CHAOS

Bunch of Fools!

The figure turned out to be a ‘little girl of about 12. But Aeries had no sentiment as he saw her. His chapter with ‘Draculina’ was one that still brought goosebumps to him. For one, he had no idea if this would be an Old man in a girl's body...

But with her guise and unfazed look, he saw no small amount of confidence in her prowess.

‘She's Strong! Now that's a surprise’

Her eyes took in everything but she chuckled cutely, “Prince, and Black Widow. Are you acting? Do you think am a fool to believe that this walking noodle can stop all of you ‘Powerhouses’ and still be standing? Don't joke with me" Her eyes flared in anger.

“I will never. Everything you see here is the truth... That Player is a Monster” Seeing that she did not still believe, he added, “Even Blood Taoist fell to him. Do not underestimate his sneakish means”

Aeries was instead using this time to forcefully suppress those ‘ants' In his body. During his training, maybe the greatest insight he received then was about the Soul Contest in general.

From there he could conclude that the Soul Points had other uses apart from being ‘Currencies' or a means to benchmark the winners.

Soul Points also made one stronger!

Or was it the Soul EXP? He had no idea. But what he gleaned was that the higher of both you had, the greater your potential and capabilities.

Those with lower Soul Points and EXP would not feel it much. And also those who were powerful enough to already defeat Great General Martial Cultivators.

But for him, it had been an exponential leap of strength! from the rims he defeated the Soul Slime, to the time he fought against the Minotaur, he had felt and ball of energy resting within, like a calm sun ready to erupt its heat at any time.

One should recall that the Minotaur was a peak rank 9 beast, closing to the highest tier a Demon Beast could exist in. To defeat this monster, one has to be at the Flying Martial Lord Realm or above.

And this fact was further ascertained on the first day when then the Minotaur made its first appearance. The strength of the monster caused no short of dread on everyone. And several ‘geniuses’ died without even knowing how.

Aeries had been on the run then, and there wasn't an inch of courage in him to battle against a monster like that.

Even if he was blessed by the gods, Aeries would not believe he could stand and fight hand to hand with such monstrosity.

But he did, and he won with strength remaining... That wasn't something that could ‘just happen. Especially in just three days.

The others saw Aeries in contemplation and thought he was thinking about how low his odds were.

The little girl tsk her tongue and beckoned to him.

“Ai You! Give up your—"

“You're a fool to ask that from me!” A green vein popped up in his temple. He was both angry and irritated.

‘What gives!?’

“You— Good, good, good" She whipped her hands up and down.

Thanks to the number of Soul Points and EXP he had, Aeries was confident to say he was near about the first rank of the Martial Flying Lord.

His intense Qi rushed out from his Shang Sea through his meridians to pour out to his inner body and his 6 bowels. It was like a liquified sun, scorching everything that it touched as it moved.

Even Aeries was hurt in the process and coughed out a mouthful of blood.

“Eh? You are like this and you're not still giving up. Your form of bravery is pure stupidity—”

Again she was cut off. And now it was by the quiet 7—chains who was supposed to be serene in recuperation.

“You b***h! Kill him already! Why make all these noises when the fucker is healing himself... Ptui!” He sprayed out blood and fainted.

“....”

†Whoosh!

The girl snaked out her hand to strangle Aeries but missed as he bent his waist a complete 90• While also whipping his right leg to catch her in the air.

“You may have recovered, but so what?”

Prince K was already by his side, skidding under everything, he brought out his Palm towards Aeries back. While Black Widow jumped to the air and pulled the little girl out of harm’s way.

Seeing this, Aeries tapped on his left leg immediately and twirled in a circle, dodging the attack from Prince K and looping his arms as he brought them towards Prince K...

~BANG!

As both of them separated from each other by several meters, Prince K ended their session by spitting out blood.

The little girl showed fluctuating emotions. “You're Good”

.

Aeries brought his brow up with a smirk, “You're good” He tried mimicking in the same disgusting voice.

[Player name: Michiko'

Soul Points, 'Hidden']

[Player's Name: Scourge ‘Ruin'

Soul Points: Revealed... 218,300]

—Hong!

Aeries pivoted again to meet Ghost Beggar acting like a mule drilling the soil. Somehow —probably with his technique— he had erased his Qi signature and Aura and then crept through the soil to get close to him

/ “Church Rat" He aimed the point of his Rod to the skidding spot on the soil and stretched it.

The ‘HONG’ sound that was heard gave a sign that it hit something, also was the muffled sound like a cry of anguish.

Sudden attacks stopped him from finishing the poor fellow again. Now, with the addition of Michiko, the group seemed to have double the power.

Few minutes passed with this intense assault of attacks going back and forth,

Before a sound appeared in their minds,

[Ding! Final Hour Notice!

Time for the end of the Contest: -58:07]

Black widow closed her eyes for a second before two pairs of wings came out from her back like a butterfly.

Prince K took out a gleaming Sword all of a sudden, the air shook visible and a silent cry came out.

Then Ghost Beggar cracked his neck and but into a pill— After that, his body had a qualitative change to be shaped with attributes of a different beast. These beasts were powerful beasts above the 5th level of the Demon Beast rank.

Aeries... “So you've finally brought out your trump cards.”

All along, the trio was not putting out their best, as if in agreement with each other. They idling all these while waiting for the opportunity to present itself.

This wasn't about Michiko, it was about the time!

None of them wanted to battle between themselves as they had almost the same abilities and power levels. Instead, they waited till the last hour before the close of the Contest reached before they brought everything they had.

‘End it quickly, and stall only for a little while’ This was what they thought.

“So you've been hiding your powers... Fools! If you think I was using 100% of my abilities, then you are all fools!”

“If you can stand after this then call me a chicken" Ghost Beggar shunned him, “King Of Beast 3rd Form! Combined Lending!”

Black Widow, with her Qin, /“Cry of Banshee! Formless wind!”

Michiko raised a huge Blood red club 10x bigger than a Gata and an akyl in the air and prepared herself,

“Spirit Seal Open! D Level permission!”

Aeries watched as they gathered together to make a stance against him,

But he did not back down or run away.

‘Pressure is good’

“Way if Finesse Second form!

Soaring Demi-god body!

Mountains as Mountains...
