Chapter 305 Time for show off
?Darius, the security chief for this event was newly promoted limit rank awakener, and this task of maintaining order for this auction was his last job before he could apply for a promotion and join the team that can enter the towers and dungeons under Nishkal family's control.
But now with all these deaths and damage, Darius knew that even if he managed to kill everyone responsible for this attack, he would still be considered a failure in others eyes.
Nishkal family had a rule that forbade inner group marriage, and anyone found breaking it would be killed and sacrificed to the gods. That's why he did years of hard work and kept patience till he reached the limit rank and got the opportunity for a promotion and get the transfer to another team, before proposing his love to his subordinate Cory, yet all of that was wasted.
How happy he was planning surprises about how he'd propose her with a ring on his knees, with flowers on the ground and a beautiful moon in the sky, but before his dreams could come true, he had to wake up to this nightmare.
Watching the girl he loved suffering in those nether traps, while he could do nothing but clench his fists and walk away, had fueled his anger to the maximum.
This is why after finally finding the ones responsible for this attack, and seeing their leader resting in clouds, Darius finally couldn't hold himself back any longer. For the first time in his life he rushed to a battle wiithout any plan, reconnaissance or information.
And as luck would have it, the result of it was... obvious.
He fell down at an even faster speed than when he rushed up.
His body created a loud explosion sound as he fell to the ground. The sudden impact cracking the floor of the ceiling visibly.
As the dust cleared, people watched as Darius kept bleeding from his mouth while lying down.
The soldiers around the area who were in the middle of their fights, looked at their leader in such a precarious situation and halted their attacks.
In their shocked gazes, a hooded figure landed near the crater and slowly walked towards Darius's struggling body.
"I.. Would... ill you." Darius muttered in between his breath, as he tried to speak but couldn't form any clear words with his broken jaw. Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)
Ignoring the false threats of a loser pig, the hooded man placed his feet over the fallen general's body and pressed it hard.
Shiva, who was running up the stairs heard the screams and sounds of battle up ahead and increased his speed. His rushing figure flew past the bodies trapped in nether cocoons, ignoring their pleas for help or the mercy of death.
When he finally reached the open rooftop the scene that greeted him was of a fierce battle on its final stage.
Darius and the priest from Dike's church were fighting the leader of Evil's Scion together. While their other partners fought against the other members.
The advantage of numbers was still in the favor of the Nishkal family, as it was currently 7 vs 13. But Shiva knew this was just for now, since he noticed the teleportation circle lighting up. Any time now, another batch of evil's scions members would show up at their location and soon the battle would switch sides for good.
The guards did try to stop the villains channeling the teleportation circle but only kept failing in their efforts.
"Time for me to sho_ Wait, is he at the limit rank?" Shiva said in his heart and was ready to remove the treasure that hid his aura, when he sensed something and stopped midway.
[Yupp. L+ rank, coupled with aura strengthening stage.]
'Fuck you system. Why didn't you say we were going to challenge top limit rank awakeners?' He asked. He had just spent a fortune on sending one limit rank villain to his base prison, and now he had to fight another. 'You should've told me sooner.' He complained.
While system, as always, an expert on shirking responsibility, just shrugged it's invisible non-existent shoulders and replied [You didn't ask.]
'I shouldn't need to, these are the things you should speak from your own initiative.' Shiva said.
[Well that takes points my host. I told you to buy an environmental scanning and magic map feature that'll warn you of these things beforehand, but you just shrugged it off and said, you don't need it.]
'That's cause you're too expensive and I wanted to _'
[Get them free in a lottery...you stingy idiot.] System finished his words with a taunt, and continued. [And what's the problem with fighting him? You can kill him quite easily even now, you just have to be smart about it.] System said with some amusement, as Shiva used apraisal on the villain and smiled in response too.
They both paired so perfectly now that they thought the same idea in a second.
[I didn't lie, did I?] System said, after knowing Shiva understood everything.
'Fine, whatever. But you're still muted nonetheless.' Shiva said and snapped his fingers, as the veil covering him disappeared and the space cracked open to a void, from which he walked out.
"Time for me to show off."
