Chapter 135: Chapter 135
“Tch, bastard!” Deddy clicked his tongue, pushing his body to the max; Deddy continued to flare up his aura. Deddy kept swinging his blade against Eru, but nothing was working for him. Eru was too skilful and too powerful for Deddy to fight, as Eru still treated this as a form of amusement. The clash between Deddy and Eru was ongoing until, eventually, Deddy panted heavily. Now, even the weaker onlookers could see that Deddy was severely outmatched and humiliated by Eru. Eru let out a mocking smile, “Is this all you’ve got?”
“You fucking bastard!” Deddy hissed, “Don’t you fucking humiliate me!” he screamed before charging headlong towards Eru. “I think that you’ve done enough”, Eru stretched his legs, “Now, it’s my turn!” Eru put his black sword to the side and jumped towards the charging Deddy. Both Eru and Deddy locked shoulders, “Is this all your power? You need to train more”, Eru provoked, he put more power into his charge. Deddy was pushed back, “You!” he groaned while gritting his teeth in anger.
“Away you go”, Eru said as he did a front kick to Deddy’s chest. Deddy yelled in pain while his body was sent flying back into the wall. “Watch out, watch out”, the crowd screamed; they got out of the way from Deddy’s body. Deddy struggled to get out from the wall, only to see that Eru was smirking at him. Eru provoked Deddy by waving his hands, “Come, is that all you’ve got?” he said loudly. Deddy flared up his aura, “Fuck you!” he shouted. Coating his body full with his purple-coloured aura, Deddy ran towards Eru, stomping the ground repeatedly.
“Idiot, you lost your cool”, May gritted her teeth. Cina stood beside May while folding her arms, “Hah, that’s unusual. That bald head Deddy lost his cool.” May squinted her eyes, “You’re enjoying every single inch of this, huh?” May’s lips curled even wider, “Of course. A lot of my friends had to suffer in his hands. If that newcomer managed to kill the bald bastard, I would be ever grateful.” May turned her head, looking at Cina hatefully. Cina smirked, “What? You don’t agree? Just because he’s your friend doesn’t mean that Deddy was not guilty of the thing that he’s doing. I would’ve done what the newcomer did myself a long time ago if I had the power.”
May bit her lower lips, “Tch”, she clicked her tongue, “I agree that Deddy needs to be put on his lane, but watching this hurt, you know?” Cina’s expression contorted, “So what? What are you going to do about it? Do you think I’m not hurting when that bald donkey beat up my friends? Using his influence to destroy their careers?” she roared, startling May. Cina scoffed, “If I could kill that bald cunt, I would’ve done it a long time ago”, she gritted her teeth, “But, if I want to survive in Sylphid City, if I want to continue working in the Adventurers Guild, I need to tolerate his existence.”
Killing intent rose within Cina, “You have no idea how much I hate that cunt.” May pursed her lips, she wanted to say something to defend her childhood friend, but she held back. Then, her attention was brought back towards Eru and Deddy’s battle when Eru held Deddy by his throat. “Is this all? How does it feel being humiliated by some wimpy kid you never met, huh?” Eru smiled cruelly at Deddy, “You’re shocked, right? Being a top dog for so many years, only for someone from another place to take your place. Being humiliated did not feel good, right?” Eru slammed Deddy to the ground before picking him back again.
Deddy spat out his blood, “Ahack!” he coughed. Eru tilted his head slightly to the side, dodging Deddy’s blood. “You bastard, I’ll kill you!” Deddy snarled. Eru raised his eyebrow, “It’s not a good feeling, isn’t it? Being powerless in front of someone more powerful? Don’t blame me for it; blame yourself for doing the same thing to other people.” Eru proceeded to punch Deddy in the gut repeatedly, brutally beating him down. The other adventurers that watched this brutal scene had various reactions.
Some smiled, some frowned, and some retched, while some could not continue watching and leaving the training hall. Deddy’s face was deformed thanks to Eru’s beating, “Watch out”, Deddy said, “Watch your ass, you stupid punk. Once my father heard of this, your life will be over!” he threatened. Eru looked at Deddy with amusement; he punched Deddy once again on his body, “Do you think I care? Do you think I care about your father? Is your father a mayor or something? Or is your father the governor?” Eru stared directly at Deddy’s eyes. Deddy smirked, “My dad is a powerful man far beyond what you could’ve imagined, peasant!”
“Is that so?” Eru smiled, “Then, I’m looking forward to meeting him”, Eru said before holding his black sword up. “Stop it!” May screamed, but Eru ignored her as he swung his sword to cut off Deddy’s sword hand. “Argh!” Deddy screamed while clutching his severed right arm. “You bastard!” May yelled with anger. She took out her wand before a hexagonal pattern appeared in front of her. Before May managed to cast a single spell, Cina appeared in front of her, “Oh, no, you don’t” Cina swung her sabre, forcing May to block her attack. “Don’t stop me, Cina”, May angrily shouted. “You want to attack my benefactor? You must go through me, first” Cina gripped her sabre tight.
Then, many adventurers who stayed in the training hall stood behind Cina, “Yeah, if you want to get to him, you have to go through us”, they said in unison. The adventurers’ movement showed how much they hated Deddy. They had to live in fear below Deddy’s iron grip all this time. Most of them had their life ruined by Deddy one way or another. But, they could not do anything since their livelihood depended on their job. So all they could do was to swallow the bitterness and move on.
Now that the adventurers saw someone who could defeat the face of the injustice they experienced for all these years, they did not hesitate to show their full support towards Eru. Just as the conflict was about to escalate even further, a *ding* sound coming from the lift caught everyone’s attention. Then, oppressing presence could be felt, and footsteps could be heard approaching them. “What a lovely sight this is”, the lift’s door opened automatically, revealing the figure that most adventurers from Sylphid City dread. “I wouldn’t mind that two adventurers were fighting, but this? This looks like a civil war to me”, the man with a goatee said, emphasizing his words and his tone heavy.
“G-guild master”, stuttered one of the adventurers, feeling nervous inside. “Why are you all just standing around here for?” the guild master shouted, “All of you, leave immediately!” Alexandro let out his voice mixed with his aura, scaring and scattering the gathering adventurers. As the adventurers left one by one, only Eru, May, Alexandro and the pained Deddy were left in the training hall. “May, go ahead and get Deddy treated in the infirmary. Close his wound first before you carry him out”, Alexandro ordered. May nodded her head; she cast a spell in order to stop Deddy from bleeding out, making the latter pass out. After that, May carried Deddy into the lift, leaving Eru behind with Alexandro.
Alexandro scrutinized his eyes; he looked at Eru fiercely, “How bold… Causing a ruckus in your first day here already, huh, Mr future S-class?” Eru shrugged, “Well, he asked for it”, he said nonchalantly. Alexandro heaved a heavy sigh, “That, he did. I always knew sooner or later Deddy would get his retribution.” Eru’s eyes widened, “You’re not mad?” Alexandro shook his head, “Nope”, he shrugged his shoulders, “Why should I? I’m just annoyed, that’s all.”
“Really? I find it hard to believe that you’re not the slightest bit angry by this”, Eru quipped. Alexandro rubbed the back of his head, “Seriously, I’m not mad. It all happened in a duel anyway. Injuries and death were common in a duel between two Aura Masters. It’s just Deddy’s background that annoyed me. I had to deal with his nagging father tomorrow thanks to what you’ve done today.” Eru let out a small chuckle, “Haha, you’re an interesting person, Mr Alexandro.” Alexandro waved his hands, “Yeah, yeah. Now, can you please do me a favour and go up to your room? I’m planning to have May take you there, but it looks like she’s not available. Why don’t you find out yourself, huh? I’m sure plenty would like to help you”, he said as he walked lazily towards the lift, “Seriously, what a drag” Alexandro pressed the button as the lift door opened automatically.
Eru looked dumbfounded as he watched the guild master leave just like that, “Huh, what a strange person”, he rubbed his chin.
