Chapter 121 - Okay, New Rule (2/2)
The Empire group all looked at each other, resolve shining deep within their eyes. Meanwhile, Will had a savage grin plastered on his face. Ibrahim, who had a far better idea of Will's strength than they did, could not help but look at his companion in handsome pity.
'The newborn calf truly does not fear the tiger.'
…
Six hours later, the group lay sprawled on the ground, with cuts and bruises all over their bodies. It didn't matter who it was, none from the group had an untouched square inch on their bodies. All of them were gasping for breath, barely able to hang onto their consciousness.
The observers of the battle: Ib, Alexa, Letty, and Duke, marveled at what had just happened. This wasn't simply a beat down, it was almost like art.
They fought for over six hours but had fought dozens of times, taking breaks in between to heal themselves. Will stood in a large circle the size of a house. What he said earlier was simple.
”I won't attack for ten minutes, and ten minutes later I will be able to attack.”
He thrashed Merlin and co so bad that he added a revision to the rules.
”Okay, didn't know you guys were that week. Okay, new rule when I attack I can't use any water-related abilities. Ib can you pass me a scimitar?”
In the previous battle, Will had used swords made from ice to battle. Ib was about to remark 'They don't fit you.' when he remembered what Will had done to him. Instead, the man laughed in a charming but wry way and threw Will the scimitar he was using. As Will got the blade he noticed that it was not that impressive. It was clearly not Ib's true weapon, which made Will wonder, what was his true weapon like?
Merlin and co were outraged, but could do nothing but swallow their pride and attempt to prove the young man wrong, alas…
”Ehem, okay, new rule, I won't use water abilities at all.”
Then the show continued on, causing the onlookers to swallow their saliva.
”Okay, new rule, I will only use one hand.”
But still, the beat down did not stop. Will would adjust to his caveats very quickly.
”Okay, new rule, I can only make non-lethal attacks.”
Yet disaster still struck, again
”Okay, new rule-”
Again.
”Okay, new rule.”
And again…
”Uhm, okay, this is embarrassing. Ehem, new rule.”
