Chapter 156 - Alive! Alive! He's Alive!

Sweat covered Butler Sheng's face while staring at the weakening and disconnecting chains losses greatly.

No! No! No! He said it wrong!

Butler Sheng's heart fell onto his belly. 

But before he could correct his actions, the creature suddenly trimmed viciously. And with a swift move, its end slapped Butler Sheng to the side, causing him to roll on the side crazily.

Bam!

"Brother Sheng!"

"Mr. Sheng!"

Everyone stared at the scene frantically. This, how, you, he, what just happened?

Mina grabbed Chan-ki's collar subconsciously: "You-... He's going to be alright, yeah? Answer me, Dammit, is he going to be fine!"

"Mina! That's enough!" Ajin yelled, understanding her worries. 

You know, their mortal eyes had only seen flash images of the creature's moves after it landed its attacks on Butler Sheng.

This alone showed how fast it was.

No beats in their world would be able to rival it. So now, they couldn't help wondering if Butler Sheng would be able to take it head-on. After all, he was just human too.

"Mr. Sheng!!"

~Tututututututhrop.

Butler Sheng rolled onto the sandy banks as though his body were made of rubber. It was just that the fact that he was rolling while sighing a deep hole into the ground greatly contrasted the rubber notion many had initially thought of. 

Everyone saw him get up and shake the sand and ground away from him as though it were nothing. 

"Mr. Sheh--... Eh??"

Blink. Blink.

(+_+)

His body wouldn't be made of stone, right?

That is, what should've made anyone disfigured and even crippled with a broken spine and many internal injuries, seemed to have done nothing to him.

Augh.

Butler Sheng leaped out of the deep hole created, smashing the side of his ears to remove any sand and ground residue that got in.

All this was just 3 seconds after getting hit down.

And wouldn't you know it, the moment he got back out, the creature's ugly face was the first thing that greeted him.

This time, Butler Sheng gave up the idea of pinning the bastard first.

He ran his fingers to sleek back his hair and adjusted his suit properly. 

"Alright, big guy. I didn't plan to do things messily, only trying to pin you down and get things over with in a cordial fashion. After all, this is my favourite suit I'm wearing. But since you like playing it rough, then let's play!"

~Grwwww~

The beast used its only hands to slither and crawl towards its target with a widened mouth.

Butler Sheng glanced at it and smirked playfully. 

This morning, he crushed several rocks. And today, he was crushing this little beast. 

As for adequately learning the spells, he would have to practice hard before putting his faith in them.

For now, he might as well beat the living daylight out of this thing until he found the green stone the Grandmaster had hinted to. 

Well then, it was time to test out just how powerful he was at the 1st Dan.

.

No. No. No!~

Everyone watched the creature tush towards Butler Sheng, only feeling their hearts beat chaotically. 

Jaws clenched, bodies weakened, everyone screamed at the scene in that fixed horror.

"Get out of there! Save yourself!"

"Sheng! Sheng!!!~"

"Oh no. I can't watch... This is too much!" Mina said, feeling as though she would have a heart attack any moment from now. 

Who can bear to watch?

The scene of Butler Sheng getting slower whole by that thing had long been envisioned by them all.

However, what happened next was completely different from their imaginations.

~Grwww~

The creature slithered its way towards its target fearlessly. And with a deep lean forward, it opened its mouth, revealing an even more rotting inside and deeper smell that could knock one out flat. 

Bam!

A loud sound echoed out. And all everyone could see was the creature flying backwards instead.

'_'

Everyone watched the following scenes with shock, confusion and even doubt.

Mina loomed at Butler Sheng, feeling cheated.

'Dam you, Mr. Sheng! You better give me back my years after this! How dare you make a lady cry?'

Grwww~

Bam! Bam! Bam! Pah! Bam! 

Butler Sheng landed yet another solid hit on the creature, making it cry even more. 

In fact, the creature and Butler Sheng were pretty even when battling. 

Both sides had caused injury to the other, showing their strengths. 

But because Butler Sheng had spotted the stone on it, he was quick to judge the bastard, shocking everyone silly.

They weren't fools. Butler Sheng's vanishing appearance and his blows alone showed them that he was stronger than they, mere mortals.

"Leader, I think this is what Marshall Gia wanted us to see."

"Hmmm..." Ajin replied, thinning his lips deeply. "If I weren't with you all right now, I would have sworn that today's matter was nothing but a figment of my imagination. The world is not as we think. Maybe our biggest enemies are not ourselves, but these things... As protectors, how can we not join in the battle?"

Everyone looked at each other briefly as though concluding their minds. 

Before taking on this mission, Old Gia had told them to prepare because soon, they would go somewhere to study something top-secret. 

They didn't understand and thought that maybe he was sending them off to some secret base to learn a thing or 2.

However, they understood how wrong they were.

It was now clear as day that this was what the marshal meant!

.

Boom! Bam! Pah! Boom!

~Grwwww!

The creature had finally been subdued, with its stone ripped off cleanly by Butler Sheng. 

And at this moment, a ridiculously large hole that they could see, unexpectedly opened up on the water. 

~Dwahh.

Everyone peeked at the scene anxiously until Mina's cry echoed out.

"Look! Look! It's the Grandmaster! He's alive!"

What? He's alive?

"Hahahahah~ That beautiful son of a b**tch is alive. Hahahaha~... I want to kiss him now."

(^0^)

Everyone's emotions were unspeakable, with some hugging each other and others just smiling warmly.

Good. Good. Good. 

"Grand... Ah!--"

Dorian emerged, floating while carrying over 30 of these same creatures bundled up together. 

Everyone, including Butler Sheng and the beast he defeated, had no tears but wanted to cry.

'Grandmaster, do you know that you're a bully?'
