Chapter 141: Chapter 141
While Eru was fighting Jon inside of Duncan’s family mansion training grounds, the mayor sat beside Deddy, wiping his son’s sweat. The mayor, the man with a curly moustache, looked worried when he looked at his son. Suddenly, the man with a curly moustache felt a movement from Deddy. The latter grunted, then Deddy slowly opened his eyes, finding himself to be inside of his room. He looked around his surroundings, finding his father with a worried look on his face. “What’s wrong, dad? Why do you look at me like that?” Deddy asked with a soft and gentle voice.
The man with a curly moustache hesitated before finally moving his mouth open, “How are you doing, son?” Deddy tried to move his body, but he found that he couldn’t do so, “What happened to me?” he asked. “Don’t you remember? You have been injured”, the man with a curly mouth informed, “But don’t you worry, I will find that bastard and cut off his arm!” he declared. Deddy extended his left hand at the man with a curly moustache, “Please don’t do so, dad. After all, you taught me to listen to the other side’s story first before making a move.”
The man with a curly moustache’s expression contorted, “Listen to the other party’s story? Look at your right arm; it has been bloody cut off! You expect me to listen to the other party’s story?” the man with a curly moustache shouted with anger and fury was burning inside of his eyes. After hearing his father’s words, Deddy looked at his right arm, finding that a metal arm was in place of his original arm. Then, a sudden headache assaulted Deddy as he clenched his head in pain.
Memories started to appear in Deddy’s mind, memories that were both familiar and unfamiliar to him. Deddy screamed in pain, “What did I do?” he clutched his head, horrified for the memories that were in his head. Tears came out from Deddy’s eyes, “Did I really do such horrible things?” he muttered. “What’s wrong, son?” the man with a curly moustache asked worriedly. Deddy clutched his father’s arm desperately, “Tell me, dad, what horrible things that I’ve done?” Deddy pleaded. The man with a curly moustache furrowed his eyebrows, “What do you mean, son?”
“Don’t play stupid with me, dad. What horrible things that I’ve done these past couple of years? Why can’t I remember doing any of that and yet, there are all in my memories”, Deddy said, tears starting to stream from his eyes, “Tell me, dad!” he yelled, sadness filling Deddy’s voice as he begged the man with a curly moustache.

“Cheeky kid”, Jon exclaimed, his lips slightly curled up, looking at the raven-haired young man in front of him. Eru stared at Jon, standing across him alongside of his dark clones, “Here I go, old man! Don’t go dying on me”, Eru said. Then, Eru and his clones proceeded to rush towards Jon. First up, Eru sent his clones to keep Jon busy. The first clone tangled against Jon, and while Jon was busy dealing with the first clones, Eru sent another clone to get into Jon’s back. “Tch”, Jon clicked his tongue while defending himself against Eru’s clones as Eru’s clones quickly surrounded Jon.
“You’re going down, old man”, Eru said before his clones attacked Jon one by one. The dark-skinned old man felt overwhelmed facing multiple opponents as strong as Eru. Scars appeared on Jon’s body, evidence of his struggles against Eru and his clones. “Fuck”, Jon swore as another attack managed to hit him in the back. Although it looks grim, Jon was confident that if it were an ordinary opponent that he faced, Jon would not be troubled even if they multiplied or cloned themselves. However, since it was Eru that Jon was fighting with, the dark-skinned old man struggled in his fight.
Meanwhile, Sydney was stood agape again, witnessing Eru’s technique. All her life as a warrior and a combatant, Sydney never met someone like Eru, who, despite being so young, could force back his father again and again. Not to mention his strength, Eru’s technique to split himself into four, with three being aura clones, was out of this world. Long smiled; he glanced slightly at Sydney before saying, “This is just the tip of brother Eru’s power. As fellow kindred, even though I’m also majestic and powerful, brother Eru’s power is far eclipsed my own”, Long said with confidence.
Sydney rolled her eyes after hearing the words that came out from Long’s mouth. ‘What kind of narcissist called himself majestic and powerful, then praised other people for being even more superior than him? This Long guy is not right in the head,’ Sydney sighed as she continued to watch the battle between her father, Jon, and her teacher, Eru. Long walked beside Sydney, crossing his arms as he, too, continued to watch the match.
Eru and his clones launched a barrage of attacks towards the dark-skinned old man, Jon. The latter had a hard time coping against Eru’s clones as no matter how he tried, Jon was unable to kill even a single one of Eru’s clones. ‘At this rate, I will lose’, Jon’s thought cruised through his mind, ‘Am I okay with myself losing like this?.’ Jon’s expression changed, “No!” he shouted, “I will not lose like this!” Jon roared. Then, he looked at Eru, “You did it, you brat! You managed to force me to be in this state. As thanks for that, I’m going to go all out on you. Don’t go dying on me”, Jon declared.
After that, the golden-coloured aura around Jon intensified, then Jon raised his head; looking into the ceiling, Jon let out a bestial roar. Jon’s roar was so deafening that it devastated the training grounds even more. “T-this is—” Sydney stuttered, “Lion King Transformation”, she exclaimed. “Lion King Transformation?” Long raised his eyebrow. Sydney gulped; she nodded, “Yes, Lion King Transformation. A technique that was passed down in my family by generations. A powerful technique that was supposed to be used only in life and death situations.”
Sydney continued, “I did not expect that Dad would use the Lion King Transformation technique in a spar. How desperate is he—” Sydney pondered while bracing herself, planting her feet to the ground. Eru furrowed his eyebrows; he observed Jon as the latter transformed into something terrifying. Eru saw Jon’s white, spiky hair now grows, covering Jon’s entire head, making his hair resemble that of a lion’s mane. Jon’s mouth widened, and two pairs of fangs were protruding out. Jon’s nails extended slightly, making it resemble more of a claw instead of human’s nails.
Three stripes of whiskers marking appeared on each of Jon’s cheeks, and his eyes slanted, becoming more lion-like by the second. “Grr”, Jon growled; he sprawled to the ground before letting out another bestial roar. “I’m going, brat! Try defending this if you can”, Jon spoke in a hoarse tone before instantly disappearing from his spot. Jon appeared beside one of Eru’s clones in a flash, “Die!” he shouted before destroying one clone, making Eru’s clones become three.
“Shit”, Eru let out a curse as his clones were decimated by Jon one by one. Eru’s clones couldn’t do anything against the overwhelming speed that Jon possessed after he transformed into a lion-like being. Jon kept dismantling Eru’s clones until, eventually, only Eru was left alone facing Jon. “What now, kid?” Jon smirked; his voice was still hoarse. Eru’s lips curled up into a small smile, “What a technique”, Eru exclaimed, “I’m guessing your technique multiplied your power, allowing you to fight someone a level above you?” he inquired.
Jon let out a chuckled, “Of course”, he said, “So, give up, stinky brat! I applaud you as you’re able to fight someone above your grade, but it ends now.” Eru had a wide grin on his face, “Hahahahaha”, Eru laughed, “Hahahahaha, if you think that this is all I’ve got, you’re mistaken”, he said while looking at Jon with a slightly twisted expression. Jon frowned; he was about to pounce towards Eru before the latter used his raven-coloured aura to repel Jon’s attack. “You’re not the only one who had such technique”, Eru spread his hands, “I’ll match your level, old man! Eruken!”
Eru roared, his raven-coloured aura swirled up in the sky as Eru’s power continued to rise. “What the hell—” Jon’s jaw dropped when he saw that Eru’s prowess rose from a 3rd Grade Aura Master into 4th Grade Aura Master and eventually into a 5th Grade Aura Master. It did not stop there; however, Eru’s raven-coloured aura continued to multiply, and Eru’s 5th Grade Aura thickened as Eru’s power nearly reached a 6th Grade Aura Master. “I-it can’t be. I never thought that the gap between teacher and me would be this big” Sydney stood flabbergasted while Long let out a slight smirk, “I told you, brother Eru hasn’t truly unleashed his true power”, Long quipped.
Eru took up a stance; he pointed his black sword at the dark-skinned old man, “So, old man, ready for round two?”
