“What the hell....”
“I think we're witnessing the famed trademark skill of the plato house...Heavenly legs" the presenter had a deeply pleased smile on his face, what an honour to host the glorious skill of the plato house. This was a once in a lifetime luck.
Justin kept running round and round the stage...the legs were motherfuckingly imposing and so strange. How the f**k did the legs run on its own without the presence if a head or even a body to direct it. And also, why were they so veiny??? So much f*****g questions but no one to answer because he was being chased!
The asurah legs crouched and as it destroyed the flooring of the coliseum it jumped and cast a huge shadow over the stadium. It descended with the wind foretelling it’s arrival.
Justin slowly looked up only to be greeted by the Sight of two huge feet coming down on him. It made a parallel to the monkey king movie he had seen back in the day, when the hand of Buddha came down on the monkey king. Well, he never expected he'd be in the same position at a time in his life!
“he's gonna kill him!”
“well he’d deserve it after what he did to asmodieus!!”
“Die bastard die!”
The women were really furious at Justin, he had cut of asmodieus arm like it was nothing. Now they didn’t care if he died or not...it would be better if he did anyway.
Justin hastily rolled out of the way, narrowly escaping the area of coverage of the foot by a hair’s breadth. Any closer and he would have ended up meat paste.
He reacted quickly as he manuevered the chains, wrapping it around the ankle of the left feet. The spikes listened to his command and emerged, digging into the skin of the legs. But surprisingly no blood was seen...infact if one looked more closely, they would see that the spikes didn’t really penetrate the leg, instead the spikes were being broken little by little.
Justin panicked at that, the emperor's chain was sort of his triumph card. He didn’t have anything else, and if the weapon failed then he was as good as dead!
The leg dragged the chain back, threatening to pull Justin along but being smart, he let go of the chain.
The chain was brought under the leg and with a stomp, it crushed half of its length!
“noo!!” A voice sounded amidst the sound of the emperor’s chain demise.
“You dumb human you broke my chain!” a voice sounded in Justin’s head. It was filled with utter anger.
Justin's brain was running circles now, this wasn’t the system’s voice...neither was it his voice...whose voice could it be then?
“get my chain back or face eternal damnation!” The voice spoke up again, more angry this time around.
Justin ignored it and concentrated on his battle, he couldn’t afford losing focus. It seemed he had really pissed this guy off....
The legs marched again, with the chain still tied to it. It searched for it's prey...Justin. Getting immediate sight of him running, the legs chased, the stadium threatening to collapse from the sheer force being applied. As it ran it blazed slowly. It’s soles burning up, followed by its ankles, to the calves, to the thighs, and all over the legs.
“oh f**k oh f**k oh f**k" Justin kept mumbling these words. He really needed this money...but he also really needed his life! And the legs weren’t helping with that!
“the axe, use the axe human!” that voice from earlier said
“What ax...the axe! System summon the axe!” he just remembered he had been generously gifted a battle ax by a certain Lord. How could he insult him by not using it....
A devilish looking axe appeared in Justin’s grip as he ran...the feeling of being born to wield such spread all over him.
“booooo fight like a man”
Some people in the crowd were getting bored of justin's antics...they still had the main event to watch and this dipshit was running instead of facing his death.
Justin cursed in his mind, this crowd was really unforgiving!
In a sudden turn of events, Justin swiftly changed his movement and in a flash...instead of running away from the legs...He was running at it!
“come get this b***h!!” The axe glowed bright red mixed with a tiny of green as Justin jumped extremely high with it aiming to bring it down of the Asurah legs!
Sadly, luck didn’t seem to smile at him this time. The legs swiftly kicked, and like it was swatting a fly away...Justin was kicked all the way across the stadium like a soccerball.
He vomited a mouthful of blood on impact as he heard the sound of his ribcage breaking. Next thing he knew, he was down on the floor with a bloody chest and a blood face.
The legs followed his trail and ran again, catching up to him before he could recover and dealing another kick that sent him crashing into the walls of the collisuem making a very deep impression on the concrete.
Justin dropped from the wall to the ground with his body out of shape. It seemed like his shoulders had dislocated.
The tide of the battle had turned really fast, one minute this guy’s arm was ripped off and the other minute he was breaking the boy of the other guy...What a night.
The light leg slowly raised itself up, Justin underneath it...it was looking to do away with Justin’s life once and for all.
“stop!!” A voice shouted in the crowd loud enough for everyone to hear, the motion of the legs stopped and it turned in the direction of the voice.
A woman clothed in skin tight leather with a jacket on, walked down from the audience's seats onto the coliseum. The sound of gum could be heard if one listened closely.
“Asmodieus, he’s not worth it" the woman said calmly.
....
“and the winner by technical knockout, Asmodieus the third!” The presenter said as he raised asmodieus’ arm up. Apparently, his damaged arm had regrown.
Justin was unconscious, being carried out of the arena by the staff members. So long as he didn’t die in battle, then they had to administer treatment to him as fast as they could. That was their policy.
Asmodieus hastily followed the staff members with genuine concern. “hey hey, where are you going?” the leather clothed girl asked.
“I’m going to check up on him, I almost killed him didn’t you see?”
“So what if you almost did, he cut of your arm first remember? We have more important things to do. Why'd you come here anyway" the girl said with a displeased look.
Asmodieus paid no need to her and kept following the people. Athena snorted and followed after him. Her brother was headstrong, if he had set out to do something, nothing could convince him otherwise.
....
Justin woke up with a stinging headache. His eyes couldn’t see all that well and he couldn’t muster the strength to get up. Tilting his head to the side, two figure sat discussing matters. Noticing the movements from the person on the bed, asmodieus turned his head and a smile formed on his face when he saw Justin was awake.
“how are you feeling?” he asked with a bright smile on his face. Athena peeled from behind him taking a good look at Justin. His face was really bruised up, like all her brother’s victims.
“wh...who are y...you?” Justin struggled to say as he coughed mid sentence.
Asmodieus didn’t answer, he carried a tray from the table and placed it right beside Justin. “here eat up, this'll help heal you up" he said as he arranged the food on the tray.
A wild assort of mouth watering aromas attacked Justin’s sensory organ. Justin's eyes brightened up, this looked even better than sunil's cooking...He had to dig in immediately!
In the face of food, Justin was motivated to sit upright as he grabbed a spoon and knife and started cutting the soft meat. ‘What if this man’s tryna poison me’ a dangerous thought crossed his head. His small time in this city had taught him that people were not to be easily trusted.
“don’t worry, it isn’t poisoned" seeming to know what Justin was thinking, asmodieus assured him with a pleasant smile. Seeing asmodieus's expression, Justin was strangely calmed. The man's smile gave off a harmless feeling....like he would be safe when he was with him.
“The Lord’s son is offering you a meal and you refuse, tsk, what disrespect" Athena spoke. Something about Justin just didn’t m her feel good at all.
Justin just now noticed the slender woman behind asmodieus. Silky black hair and fierce eyes like that of a threatened tiger, he feared a striking resemblance to the man beside her. Her beauty was astonishing.
“Ah This is my twin sister, Plato Athena” asmodieus chuckled awkwardly.
Justin nodded a bit and went right back to his food, he needed his strength as fast as he could get it, he Couldn't waste time with superficial greetings.
Athena's eyes widened, the man had just nodded? He just nodded!
“Wh-" as she was about to speak out in anger, asmodieus stop her with his hand as he dragged her out of the room. “we'll be right back" he said to Justin and closed the door.
“Did you see what he did?!” Athena lashed out at her brother.
“I know I know, just be patient with him. Don’t be so uptight” asmodieus said trying to calm her down
“I don’t know why you insisted that we wait on this man but if he insults me again, I’ll skin him alive" Athena said with a dead serious tone
Asmodieus scratched his head as he nodded his head in agreement. His sister was all about formalities and what not.
“no worries, you’ll see why I’m doing this...you’ll see" asmodieus said with a foxy expression.
Athena poured and aggressively opened the door. Asmodieus following right after her.
....
A fat man walked along the Father’s bridge with a bag. A very bright expression plastered his face. He had gotten a told me opportunity and he seized it perfectly. A had A necklace worth millions...wealth was calling him! all that remained was to cross the bridge and get out of the city before anyone noticed.
A gate was on the other end of the bridge with a long line of people waiting for their turn to be searched and then they could leave. The guards had to conduct a mandatory search on all citizens who wanted to cross the bridge, increase they tried to smuggle some important time and they could even catch criminal though this means.
