First Clash of the Geniuses.

2142 Words
Currently, Aeries was having a hard time fending off Troll. With all his buffs, he was just enough to contest against a Martial General Cultivator, which to his surprise Troll was. 'This is my limit huh?' He thought quietly with a downgrading smile. All this while he had had this aloof feeling whenever he saw the younger generation of the Joran Kingdom and even the Blue wing Empire itself. He had speculated that given some few years, Surpassing Krush with all his god-like capacities was bound to happen. Focusing on the fight, he bent in an unnatural position backward to do a back somersault and struck out his right leg in the same instance. Troll smirked and utilized his movement technique to skillfully dodge the incoming hit, Only to see it bend away from him and the other leg swiped out with force enough to knock a trailer off its course. Aeries had changed his right leg's momentum and brought it to the ground, immediately activating the technique from the Way of Finesse Manual, he pushed all the Qi in his body and swung his left leg. "c***k," The collision resounded as Troll was pushed out and lost two of his Molars. But Aeries did not have it easy either. Before he could regain his bearings Rogue entered the Fray and Aeries was forced to swerve right to evade the incoming Hammer. The ground shook with every exchange they made and buildings around them slowly crumbled. "Rogue! I thought you were going to live me here all alone. Nice for you to show up after I lost my f*****g teeth! Hahaha," Troll raised his club and swung towards Aeries with a grunt. Aeries, still pressured by the even more strong Rogue could not evade this blow in time and did the only thing he could accordingly, He pushed out with all his strength to force Rogue away and crossed his hands to block the incoming attack. The Heaviness of the Club wasn't what he could stump with his measly Realm and he decisively sent the gathered Qi which he had conveyed to his fist before down to his Legs immediately and pushed out with everything he could muster. "PTUI" He could not help but spit off a mouthful of blood as he skidded to a halt. His arms shook feverishly due to the strain he gave them. ' Fuck.. Just one, please. I just want to kill one. If I can manage to find them off and reach where those bastardized hooligans, I could then get my revenge. Just a strike of my Qi in my full potential, no normal human within a Six-meter radius can overcome it". The problem was, How the hell am I suppose to get there. With those two continually on my rump, am afraid. " Papa!!," Aeries turned his attention to the voice and his face couldn't help but light up. 'Right there's still Warri. Although he can't withstand them in a one-on-one face-off, if he assists me it'll be a different story entirely. And he still has more of his costly battle chips. Although I could not obtain them since they were already linked with his blood, with Warri controlling the body presently, it's not a stretch to say we can win this. Even the other two noticed that their Advantage has shifted largely and paused with a frown. As if they had consented to this before, Aeries and Warri struck out at the same time towards Troll, Warri raised his palm and let out a series of palm strikes, causing the air around him to SWOOSH and separate with force, he had taken a Boost potion that could greatly enhance his Fleshy body strength and this was the best method of attack. Aeries opened his Golden Sky Fist to the peak level, the 500% !!, here every kick or random punch from him would have the power of 5 times his normal strength. He pressed in with his legs implanted strongly to regulate motion and pushed out with a grunt. With the force and acceleration of his body, he soon appeared directly behind Troll and forcefully struck out with his right leg after rising high above his head. The troll had just defended against the dogged assault from Warri just then and could only bring his arm up to parry the blow. He suddenly bent at an awkward angle when the Leg landed strongly on his arms, cracks appeared on the ground around him and his arms let out series of Popping sounds as they were ripped because of the force... To make it finally, Aeries activated the Way of Finesse Manual, and circulated Qi forcefully to the leg, which in turn increased the pressure vehemently, at the end, Troll could no longer hang on again and flew off in the air while spurting a mouthful of blood. Rogue spoke out "I don't see you with any System Weapon. Why aren't you with one?" "Could it be that you don't have enough Yuan coins to buy them? Or the monster drops aren't good enough for you," "or you haven't killed enough people or opened the System weapon Vault?" Rogue's constant blabbering angered Aeries to no end. He lost the calm he had tried to establish during the fight. "Are you sane? You still have the guts to talk out loud with a straight face. It's either you're scum or an Idiot." "No, am just curious. I seem to forget everything about my life, except about the system." "Well, let me tell you upfront. You don't smile and shake hands with an enemy you bastards. What next, are you going to give me some parental advice? I truly want all of you dead right now. if you call this barbaric act of yours a good deal, then why would the victims be in so much anguish and suffering" "This... I know that when one cries he or she is in pain. But there are also people laughing right now with joy -- my people -- and that's all that matters. If there's any advice I have to give you, it'll be not to take the system as a tool. But as an entity by its right, that thing does have a so.." "Papa watch out!" When Aeries heard Warri's shout, he wanted no time and utilized his Misty steps Technique to lunge out of the way. "Tch, you're giving us more problems by the minute. Rogue Focus!" The perpetrator said haughtily from behind. walking forward with an infuriating cunning smile. Aeries cursed himself for not remembering number three Chosen, The Fool. He was the sneakiest and perverse of the three, his eyes looked the same as the eyes Krush would use to evaluate a potential buyer. A window to a room filled with dark motives. "I understand.. Fool, Scourge here was just trying to make me feel disoriented, I understand what I should do, there's no need to remind me of that," Rogue reprimanded. "Hehe, it's good you understand, I feel so relieved hearing that from you. Ehm. Scourge darling, Am curious as to why you inflict so much pain to yourself and your.. Son. You know deep down that you'll never be able to outperform the three of us, yet you still stay even when there's a good chance that you, with your preserve strength, can easily escape from our encirclement. Why do you still say, Even your... son knows this... " Being met with a dry silence, he coughed slightly and made some weird poses again “Sure, Sure,” The Fool muttered with a hollow laugh. He continued as if nothing happened to Aeries and smiled freakishly, “Hey lover boy… What exactly do you want to achieve with this entire whining and vehement struggle, you know deep down that it’s all useless anyways. See if you’re ehm… son believes so. It’ll be so unfortunate if you just die with – “ “Swoosh !!” An air blade seemingly appeared in front of The Fool while he was speaking and smoothly passed cleanly through his head. -" SWIRL !! Aeries bellowed to the sky as The Fool spurted blood from his mouth and a clean swipe appeared around the circumference of his neck. Blood poured out of its new wound uncontrollably and The Other two -- Rogue and the somewhat tired Troll -- looked with confusion and shock. That blow, both of them had no idea when Aeries struck out, or the weapon he used... If he when did use one. "Finally, that's one down. Rogue, let's talk a little before you off with my head, You seem to have more ideas about the system right? I could share some things too. I'll honestly tell you the truth about yourself. The real you." 'HA HA HAHA! Finally, I’ve done something for these poor and abused souls, what crazy nonsense were you sporting, tell that to you freaking dysfunctional mother!' Aeries mused inwardly at the top of his voice as he weakly knelt on the ground, almost wasted. He had invested all his remaining Qi in his Shang sea for just this move, it wasn’t about the power of the Air blade per ser, Instead, he squeezed all his Qi to Increase the acceleration and thin the shape, even more, to make it look slick and evasive and also for the streamlined body to efficiently slice through the air resistance. The reason he had banked his life on this strike wasn’t that he was frustrated or helpless, instead it was the opposite, he had finally found the light in this his darkness and it all centered on the two people right before him, The Fool and Rogue. He knew that with the capabilities of Rogue as a Martial General Cultivator, it was authentic for him to lose with time, Although with his many buffs and his high attainment in the Way of Finesse, his Qi wasn’t limitless and he wasn’t a god, sooner or later he was definitely going to run dry of his Qi and even bring internal injuries to himself. In the crust of this, he noticed a flaw in his judgment. Although Rogue was strong, unnaturally so, it looked as if he did things without having any understanding of his actions, or the whole situation in it’s entirety. Aeries thought upon all this and came out with a shocking truth, He was being Controlled! So after much thinking he came up with the idea of killing the perpetrator and talking things out with Rogue, Rogue should have this innate curiosity of a little child so he should at least call for a cease fire, ' As for Troll, with me and Warri here to pressure him, he'll have no say but either to consent or run away. And then there's them... as for these Vagabonds.. HE HE HE. ' "Sure, but I won't forgive you for killing my friend. Fool was just a harmless fellow that did not even want to participate in the fight... he only came to my aid just now because..." "Sigh, you don't even know you're being used. Look I'll explain things better about this world, and what the emotions you feel mean. I can teach you about the bad and the good. the Villains and the Heroes." Aeries softly conveyed to Rogue who look even more confused and somewhat eager to learn, while also giving a warning glance at Troll. He better understands where he stands and act accordingly or else... "You---" Aeries stopped in front of Rogue suddenly as he noticed some thing wrong... Horribly wrong. Because of his weak and calm nerves he had put Troll's accepting smile at the back of his mind, but now thinking back again he noticed some thing... There wasn't any happy or condensing smile on Troll's face.. Only a sneer, and undisguised, gloating sneer. His instinct choose that instance to suddenly scream out in panic. He jumped out back immediately, but it was already late, the 'Dead' Fool had been alive all this while! he had already shot forward with a short, greenish dagger that reeked of poison and his body also let out some fragrant particles which unbelievable was only being attracted to Rogue's nostrils. "H-How, I killed you! I cu-ut your head off!" Aeries stammered in shock as The fool struck out. he tried to push away quickly but suddenly the 'weakened' Troll had appeared behind him, full of vigor and tightly blocked his path. Aeries had no idea what he used but he had Shocked Warri into a sudden stone state before appearing here. It was then this feeling of hopelessness washed over him.
