Chapter 73: Climbing The Hills (1/2)

”You dog!” Marcos howled as he gritted his teeth and rushed towards Arion with his knife out. He wasn't sure he could take down Arion but it was not as if he had the choice to run away.

”Hmph, how predictable,” Arion scoffed as he saw how unskilled Marcos was at fighting. At least he had experience in street fighting. So, he easily dodged the knife and caught Marcos' arm, and twisted it.

*Crack!*

”Aaargh!” Marcos howled with pain as Arion easily dislocated his shoulder as the knife fell out of his hand.

”Man, you are too weak,” Arion sneered as his expression became increasingly dark.

Arion felt that he overestimated Marcos since he didn't expect him to be this weak. But then he expected it, considering how Marcos was not coming from any big-shot family and was only able to further his Defity to his point by exploiting other kids.

Arion then kicked him in the chest, making his back hit the walls hard, cracking the wall in the process before he collapsed on the ground.

”Ughh…” Marcos groaned in pain as his body writhed on the floor.

Arion then smiled as he said, ”Now time for the leg. I guess I will pick this one.” Saying that Arion brought down his leg on Marcos' left knee, fracturing it immediately.

”AAAAH!!!” Marcos' eyes bulged in horror and pain as spittle flew out of his mouth because of the unbearable pain of his knee breaking.

Arion stomped on his knee again and again till it became a paste of bones, making Marcos howl as he had never before.

”Stop! P-Please...I won't do it again…” Marcos bitterly pleaded since he would do anything to just get away from this demon whom he couldn't even recognize.

”Sure, you won't. Now time for a head wash,” Arion snickered as he pulled up Marcos by grabbing his hair and then plunged his head into one of the toilets, which looked worse than normal toilets because of how broken down the whole toilet was.

”NO!! Mmmh!!” A horrible and dirty stench assaulted his nose as his head went inside a toilet which couldn't look more filthy.

He literally felt like the stench itself could kill him, so one could only imagine his trauma when his head went inside the toilet.

”Must be smelling quite pleasant, eh? After all, this is how stinky you are. You should feel right at home,” Arion laughed as he pressed down Marcos' head even further with his feet.

A dangerous light flashed through his eyes when he suddenly felt like snapping his neck, but then his rationality quickly stopped him, since he had no idea about the rules and laws of killing someone in this world or whether it would be a big issue if this could be traced back to him.

If he decided to let Marcos go, then he was at least sure that a coward like him wouldn't utter a single word about what happened to others since he neither knew Arion's identity and would be too scared of Arion taking revenge.

After making sure that Marcos had felt like he had eaten turd, Arion lifted his leg after suppressing the intent to kill him.

”Now you know how pathetic you are...just as dirty and small as a worm, hehe,” Arion said in a sardonic tone as he left the toilet while Marcos had become unconscious due to the traumatic event he had just experienced.

Arion took back the pouch of pranars he gave to him before.

He felt the rage inside him soothe down by a bit, but there was still the lingering regret that he didn't kill him. But he ignored those thoughts and went out.

Arion saw Mei and Shun still waiting in the restaurant and walked over to them.

”You sure did take long. Don't tell me you went to p—”

”Oh, shut up. It's just the toilets were not clean, and I had to waste some time finding one,” Arion said with an eye roll.

”That's fine. Now that the registration has been done, we can now pack our things today and leave tomorrow,” Mei said as she got up.

Arion nodded, feeling quite excited about the upcoming training and how strong he was going to become after a year.

The next day, people bid farewell to Arion and gave their best wishes when they saw that it was time for Arion and the others to make their way to the Enchanted Hills and would be only returning after an entire year.

Of course, Arion could come and visit the Fok Grove Ward in between, but they doubted if he would have time to do so.
