Smack!!
A loud smack resounded in the area as Eris hit her forehead in exasperation.
She was currently cursing at Arran right now.
"Damn that Arran, he is at it again! Why does he have to goof around all the time especially on such a very important moment like right now?"
"He should be getting ready to ambush those participants when they least expected it while also taking this opportunity to get to know their abilities. At the very least he should know the number of opponents he is about to face right!"
Charmy at some point in time had gotten her hands on some food and she was eating away happily in relish.
During these three days that the ceremony has been underway, it was not as if everybody would be glued constantly in front of the screen watching the activities of the participants. Naturally, it was expected that the people in the audience would take a break occasionally to rest as they would get something to eat and take care of themse
Arran stood up from his position on the floor and languidly stretched his body like a cat. He flexed his muscles to get rid of any stiffness before started to make his way towards the tunnel in front.As Arran got closer to the cave, he could hear voices coming from the front, and by listening to the voices he was able to tell that there were three people currently moving around in that cave. Arran could not tell if there was anybody else that had not spoken but it was all the same anyway.Arran was relieved.To be honest, Arran was under a lot of pressure right now.As he had started his training relatively late, most of his peers were much stronger than he was. Even if he had supreme talent that would make sure Arran was able to quickly catch up to the level of strength of his peers, Arran still needed time for that to happen and as it stood, Arran had no had enough time to train his strength.Even if Arran had the reality dungeon, like it was me
"How about I come back once you're done with your business hmm."Hearing the words that just came out of Arran's mouth right now stunned the three participants who were just about to fight right now and they looked at themselves in confusion. they were wondering what was going on right now and more importantly they wanted to know who this clown was that was messing with them like this.Immediately, as if the three of them had already discussed it previously, Winston spoke up as the three of them suddenly moved."Hold it right there!"As Arran was stepping back into the tunnel leading to the cave, he suddenly heard a loud shout and before he knew it he was already surrounded by Winston and his group.Arran did not panic and he still had a calm look on his face as he looked at the three of them who had surrounded him.He asked them, "What is the meaning of this? I thought you were busy with your own stuff and I was going to leave you to it so
In the eyes of Winston, Jerry, and Paul, Arran was prey. One that had big fat and juicy meat that would be enough for each of them even if they shared him equally between themselves.Their gazes burned and the three of them got ready to attack Arran at any moment.Arran was already surrounded and there was nowhere for him to go so he couldn't escape even if he wanted to... not that he was intending on doing so in the first place. This situation was just right for him since he was already prepared to rob them of their own token in the first place. Them taking the initiative to rob him of his made it easier for Arran and it also helped that he would not have any guilt on his conscience for defending himself as a bonus.Still, there was something about this situation that unnerved Arran and made him uncomfortable.Seeing three grown men surrounding another man like this in a dark tunnel, for some reason Arran pictured the scene of a bunch of hoodlums harassi
The battle had started and things had developed rapidly.Before anybody knew it a few moves were exchanged. Winston attacked Arran with his spear which Arran parried and was about to counterattack but unexpectedly, because of the excess amount of power behind the spear attack, Arran was not able to fully withstand the attack and he had to retreat which ended with him being sent flying into the air.This was followed up with another attack with Arran, one that did not give Arran any space to dodge especially since he was up in the air without any means to leverage on and avoid the attack. The only thing that Arran could do was put up a hasty defense by crossing his sword before him and hope that he was strong enough to withstand this blow... but that seemed unlikely.From the waves of pressure that Arran was receiving from this technique, Arran knew that he was not going to be able to block this attack. Should he forcefully try to withstand it with his current st
Why indeed did this happen?Naturally, everybody wanted to know the answer to this question.To be honest, nobody expected the outcome of this battle to turn out like this. Right from the very beginning, with the first attack that Winston had launched, it could be said that he and his teammates had possessed the initiative in this battle. Everything was heading their way and a sequence of follow-up attacks had been prepared to react in accordance with the progress of the battle.Winston, Paul, and Jerry were quite strong and it was because of their strength that they understood the level one had to be if they wanted to qualify to participate in this ceremony. Naturally, they wouldn't underestimate anybody that was participating in this ceremony with them since each and every participant would definitely possess sufficient strength to be here.This was why from the get-go, Winston and his teammates had used their most formidable combination attack to deal
Back to Arran.I said previously that Paul and Jerry had lost all hope for victory.This is why.As it stood, Paul and Jerry were hesitating because they were not confident that they could defeat Arran at all. This stemmed from the fact that they did not know him nor did they understand the kind of person he was or what tactics he would utilize in a fight.Previously, the two of them had already come to a conclusion about the kind of way Arran fought and were pretty confident about winning but after further deliberation, they were not so confident anymore. This hesitation was brought about by the ever-changing presence of Arran in their minds from how they perceived him to be in their minds from the very beginning and how Arran currently was right now. The first was of a frivolous but scheming person who hid his blades in his words and the present was of a noble and confident Kingsman that disdained underhanded tactics the most.As for exactly the
While Arran engaged in a battle of both brains and brawn with Paul and Jerry, unbeknownst to them, their performance was being put on display for all to see.As one of the people who generated a lot of interest in the audience, all of Arran's actions were closely observed so when Arran had finally clashed with Winston and his team, the people in the audience were very excited to see some action.During the time when Arran had been dissing Winston, it was like the prelude to an epic battle and everyone in the audience was at the edge of their seats anticipating the start of the battle.As expected, Arran did not disappoint.With Winston losing his temper, what followed was an action pack clash between Winston, Paul, and Jerry on one side ganging up on the lone Arran on the other side with back and forth strikes as well as intense close shaves and thrilling reversals all in the span of a short two minutes.These two minutes fed the desire of the audi
Aku The Demon.This title was synonymous with a ferocious war demon that fed on the blood and fears of its enemies on the battlefield.The story of Aku The Demon as he grew from a hapless youth with nothing to his name but the clothes on his back to become a mighty general of the battlefield was one that sent waves of hope and vigor through the veins of those of similar background as him as well as envy to those who Aku The Demon had left behind in his wake on his quest for power and strength.Compared to Bryon who generated reverence and envy due to his powerful backing and considerable strength, what Aku The Demon inspired in others was not only envy and jealousy but also awe and respect generated from their fear and dread of him. All this was because of the legends that were told about the rise of Aku The Demon.When Aku The Demon had been young, he had lost his family in a small-scale invasion by the Shades as they attacked the borders of the Aeth ter
