Chapter 57

1881 Words
Little by little the sounds of applauds got louder, everyone cheering for the man who stood tall over his opponent. Lord Plato himself clapped the most of all. He was extremely excited, even more than his son asmodieus. He was excited at the things to come, the posibilites that awaited. This man his son had found was a peak performer, not minding his disposable strength, his tactical abilities were top notch. And the way he moves, like there’s some kind of force guiding him, not letting any harm befall him even as he performed dangerous actions. Asmodieus rushed to Justin and immediately huge him. Albeit a little too intimately. The councilmen had knowing looks as they watched asmodieus and Justin. It was no secret, the Lord’s son was sort of “different” from the rest. He didn’t follow the usual girl likes boy road, no, he liked men. Justin endured the hug for a while then pushed asmodieus away softly. “okay man, that’s enough" Asmodieus immediately backed off as his eyes widened. He had completely lost himself there. Justin's skills had wowed him so much, and that last finishing have just made him explode (I mean...who wouldn’t?) “I always believed you could win good friend" Asmodieus shaked him. “So father....” Asmodieus turned his back to Justin and focused on the crowd. Plato stood on his magical carpet and he was still applauding with a bright smile on his face. It even stretched to the corners of his eyes. “As you have defeated your opponent today so have you rightfully earned a spot in the zugan competition” Lord Plato announced. “indeed his skills will be greatly needed in the coming race” a councilman spoke up. Several of the others agreed to his words with no issues. “My Lord, I speak?” Ahmed walked into the limelight. Lord Plato arched his eyebrow unsure of what the sudden request was but he still granted him the permission. “Thank you. I here to congratulate winner" ahmed pointed at Justin and continued “but brother and I made the same. Everywhere brother go, I go. Brother go village, I go village. Brother go city, I go city. Brother live, I live. Brother die...I die" ahmed said pouring the crowd in silence. “So what exactly do you mean by saying this?" Lord Plato frowned a bit. “I cannot enter race without brother my Lord.” Ahmed stated. Murmuring spread among the councilmen. Ahmed had just said something troublesome. Controversial to say the least. Lord Plato kept quiet for a while. “As you can see your brother lost in a fair battle for his spot and Justin earned that spot. I would be saddened if your help is missed in the race but I cannot, because of you, take away a man's rightfully earned possession” no matter how it sounded the ears, Lord Plato was not ready to let Justin go. “I have no problem my Lord. I already prepare to lose spot too. Only thing I ask is I battle winner before leaving" ahmed said as he bowed. Smiles formed on some councilmen's faces. They already suspected that this was ahmed's plan when he spoke up. “I disagree!” asmodieus expressed his displeasure immediately. “Friend Justin has just finished a battle right now and is in no shape for another” “let the man speak for himself!” Lord Plato dismissed his words. “Justin?” he directed his eyes at Justin, waiting for an answer. Justin himself was confused with all these blabbering going on. He had just defeated this man and another wanted to fight him. He hadn’t signed up for this! He wasn’t a doll the people could just take their shots at whenever and wherever they felt like it. “I have no interest in another match" Justin answered coldly. .... Lord Lee’s mansion. The commander of the fifty strong knelt on one knee as he faced Lord Lee’s back. Lord lee stood with his hand behind his back as he looked down on the maids and guards through the glass structure in his room. “My Lord we have found the fugitive. He is currently resided in the Plato house under Lord Plato’s wings.” The man spoke. They had gotten the information hours ago and immediately they confirmed it, Lord lee had to hear of it. They themselves were surprised at how productive their methods were, it was today they had incensed the people and it was still today that information of the man had reached them. Truly surprising. “How did he find his way there?” Lord lee asked calmly. “Apparently, lord Plato’s son had taken a deep liking to him after they had fought a battle in the fenrir colisseum” “hmmm, Plato’s son eh? Asmodieus was It?” “yes my Lord” “So what is the next course of action?” Lord lee asked. “I believe sending emmisaries to Lord Plato my lord" “get me wu" “yes my Lord. Right away!” the commander answered .... “Ah winner scared. Understand, I not complaining" sahmed said with an understanding look. The councilmen chuckled, shamed was starting something sneaky here. Dissing his opponent so he would fight him. Justin’s eyes twitched. The man's words ticked him but he still maintained his composure. He then started walking to the building's exit. Sahmed prepared to give up seeing as his words caused little to no harm. The councilmen were sort of disappointed, they were looking forward to another match. Perhaps they could see more of this man's skills. “I accept" Justin suddenly stopped and turned back. To be honest he wasn’t the best at taking jabs like that. So he obviously couldn’t let the man's words go...he had to act on it. Teach him some manners.... “great. We start!” sahmed immediately removed his long coat revealing the numerous array of short sword and weapons he had hidden on his body. Justin wanted to end this quick and fierce so he called on his trump card. This man didn't seem any much stronger than his brother so this move he was about to excite now would definitely take him down. Justin walked over to his original weapon and picked it up, feeling the weight of the chain in his hands. In a flash he disappeared from everyone's view. Sahmed who was about to attack was now surprise by the sudden turn of events. The man standing right there....where'd he go? Has he fled? But how could someone flew so fast? A sharp pain spread around his shoulder and a hole opened wide, one could even see through the hole to the back. Mysteriously, sahmed flew to the front like he was pulled by something...but no one could see what it was! Lord Plato’s eyes immediately turned blue and the situation was clear to him, he could clearly see Justin’s chain pierced into the body of sahmed and he had pulled him to himself. Sahmed kept flying until his face was suddenly hit by an invisible force sending him flying back. His whole hair was shaved off after being hit by that force. Justin smiled evil, this was one of his favourite moves and this guy just earned the right to experience it first hand. He expertly threw the chain again, aiming for the other shoulder of sahmed who was still in the air. And in it went, another hole opened in sahmed body. He was pulled again and pushed by the invisible force. This time his eyebrows were shaved. ..... “Whats happening?” some of the councilmen were confused. “I believe it’s a rare stealth skill" one knowledgeable one spike among them. “a stealth skill? How could one so young get something of that sorts? I’ve live for hundred of years and still haven’t gotten my hands on one!” ..... Justin kept repeating the process over and over whiny in the guy's face like he was mashing tomatoes. His arms, legs and feet were already full of holes now and still Justin wasn’t done. “m...mercy" sahmed struggled to speak. He had miscalculated his moves, he shouldn’t have challenged Justin while he was still possessed by the aradian warrior. All he sought was avenge and because of that he became blind to way more important things. Now he was getting punished for it. Justin was like an overpowered anime character in this state, he had the benefits of the aradian warrior and also the stats increase by the stealth skill. Who dared face him in his current form?! *Stealth freak mini skill expiring in 3, 2, 1....* Just as Justin was about to give sahmed another bashing, his stealth freak skill expired and he was visible again. Not that it mattered anymore since his opponent was unconscious...like his brother. Justin let go of the man and cracked his neck “Any more challengers?” he asked facing the crowd. In the face of this man boisterousness the councilmen were speechless. Athena clenched her fists she wanted to stand but asmodieus held her hand advising her against it. “just don’t....” Seeing as no one stepped up, Justin kicked the hand that blocked his way and walked away. He had thrashed two of the strongest brothers of the Pluto house in a couple of minutes and still walked away like it was nothing. ..... “Damn how do I switch this s**t off" Justin wiped his face with a towel as he wondered. The aradian warrior still possessed him even till after the battle and he had no way of reverting to his normal state. He couldn’t even take the armor off and that crescent knife just kept finding it’s way back to him one way or another. “System, any idea how to turn this s**t off?” Justin asked his long term companion. *Host will need to stop transferring mana to the form in order for host to become normal* “ma...manner?” this wasn’t t first time he was hearing this word but what the f**k does mannear have to do with the problem he was currently facing. Was it his table manners? Or his manners in the training grounds? The f**k? *mana is the energy which resides in all worlds. It is the energy which the host and all other use when performing a skill. Has host never wondered how he was able to naturally perform those skills?* The system said. “wow, I never really did won- wait...did you just ask me a question?” *....* The system just asked him a question! What a development! This’ a first time in history happening! *knock knock* The door's banging interrupted Justin’s thoughts. Justin immediately went over to open the door and there stood asmodieus with his usual smile. “it’s time to discuss the Zugan race plans friend justin" asmodieus said. “Ah so early?” Justin asked. He wasn’t quite expecting him just as soon as the match ended. “why are you still...uh...like this" asmodieus said as he walked into the room.
