Chapter 37 - The World Trembles Hearing His Name! (1/2)
As expected, Yusa didn't save the guy any face.
”Where did this fly come from? Shoo shoo, the intelligent living beings need to talk.”
Shiar faces immediately warped.
”You dare to talk to be like that? A puny 3rd stage Foundation Establishment? Don't blame me for reporting your team for failing the mission only because of your arrogance, people like you put our mercenary guilds name in shame.”
He turned around and said.
”Let's go, we have a mission to finish.”
Krune completely ignored the guy, he went in front Zuve Lie and took out the Blazing Alligator's blood.
”Alchemist Zuve, here is the Blazing Alligator blood you required, please confirm this is the blood you need.”
Shiar, who was just about to leave, froze in place.
'Did they just say Blazing Alligator blood?'
Durin, who was by his side, kept his poker face, if he tell the truth now, his leader will blame him for not having told him earlier.
Zuve Lie was ecstatic, he took the Blazing Dragon Blood and used a few tools to check the validity of the blood, he then turned back to Krune, his expression even happier now.
”This is exactly the blood I was looking for, I will make sure to give a call to the Mercenary Guild today, you will receive every single point agreed.”
Krune nodded, Ao and Yusa expressions didn't even change, that's to be expected.
On the other hand, Shiar was angry to the point of exploding, he didn't believe that this group was really able to procure the Blazing Alligators Blood.
”Who do you think you are deceiving here? There is no way you guys could succeed in this mission, you obviously got this blood from somewhere else, the guild has strict rules for this kind of activity, I was being nice at first, but now you can wait for the results later.”
Yusa was as non nonchalant as ever.
”Someone who can't even defeat me is boasting on the side, Durin, you should keep you friends under control.”
Shiar got puzzled, he looked at Durin, does it mean that he knows about this mercenary group.
Durin felt like he wanted to cry, he totally believes that they got the blood the normal way, it would have been good if they had not called him out. Durin then sent a Divine Sense message to his leader, Shiar faces immediately turned gloomy, he looked at Krune, now that he thinks about it Krune's face really looks like the one in the news.
”So you are that so called Four Stars Foundation Establishment Mercenary who thinks to be big sh*t?”
Krune just nodded, with Durin Vola staying there, there is no way he can deny it, they participated in the same Mercenary Exam after all.
”I don't care about the so called universe foundation, with your cultivation realm you are nothing in front of me, if you are really that great, do you dare accept a challenge from me?”
Krune looked at this person as if he was an idiot, people of that level can't pose any threat to him anymore, if it wasn't for the fact the he doesn't want to attract attention, he wouldn't mind open this persons eyes, not because he is angry, Krune simply can't get angry easy, it's part of his nature, he simply doesn't like when people look down on him, it makes him remember the time when he was a weak wisp, everyone disdained him.
Shiar noticed that Krune wasn't saying anything, he thought that Krune was afraid.
”See, in the end that's all that your group amounts for.”
Yusa and Ao know Krune quite well already, they could tell that Krune simply wanted to keep his low key life, well, even if it doesn't have anything low key to it.
Yusa then came forward, just as she was about to accept, Ao stopped her and sent a Divine Sense message.
”I know you can fight but you won't be able to defeat him, don't forget that he is also a Mercenary, which means that he can at least fight those one stage above his realm, your fight would most likely end in a draw, let me go, with my last breakthrough I'm confident to beat him down.”
Yusa pondered a bit and simply nodded, Ao then spoke.
”There is no need for Krune to come forward, that would be not fair, how about me? Do you dare?”
Krune sighed, the only one is his team that would have a problem in defeating this guy is Yusa, and she probably wouldn't lose, most likely no winner would appear, but Ao broke through to the 4th stage and Krune personally guided him with his Wind Element Manipulation, unless this Shiar guy is a genius, he simply doesn't stand a chance against Ao.
Shiar thought that the 'fair' that Ao said was about his realm being much higher than Krune, so he decided to accept the challenge.
There is rules in the city so people can't simply fight anywhere, but there is places where challenges can be taken, the arena!
In a cultivators world its very common for fights to happen, so to prevent damage from happening to the cities, every single one has an arena, if the cities are big, there might be even more than one, when fighting someone one's secret might be exposed, so when you decide to fight you can select whether you want to let people see it or not, Krune had no idea about such thing so he simply let Ao do as he wished.
Ao didn't care either, so he didn't apply for their fight to be hidden, people soon gathered to take a look, when Shiar and Ao came on the stage, there was already over ten thousand people to watch, Rore City has a lot more people than Kaley City, so it was easier to gather the people in a shorter amount of time.
Krune looked around and curled himself in a corner, trying to stay out of sight as much as possible, Yusa saw that and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Shiar looked at Ao and snorted.
”This is your last chance, apologize in front of me and I can let you go.”
Ao didn't even pay attention to what he said, he simply activated the arena's protection formation and stood in front of Shiar.
The referee came forward and stayed beside the arena, the law of the country prohibits killing inside the cities, in case the fight goes out of hand it would be his job to put a stop to it. Every cities referee must be at least at the Core Formation Realm so there was no chance that they would be able to kill the other.
He raised his hand and said.
”Ready?”
