Chapter 299 - The Dark Fist (1/2)

Out of nowhere, without a wound visible on his face, the young man suddenly got up from the floor, before making his way back towards the guild master. His hand was curled into a fist and stretched back as he did so.

The guild master was a battle maniac, so seeing this caused him to feel a rush of adrenaline along with excitement.

”Now it's your turn. Come at me, I won't run or dodge.” Said the guild master with a joyful look

”H-Hey, he's not serious right? He's really telling a blind man to hit him?”

”I mean, how's he going to hit what he can't see? And how is he still standing after getting knocked that hard?!”

”But is he really blind though? He's been moving around quiet easily and it doesn't look like he's using his staff to do it…”

As the people continued to mutter amongst each other. A few adventurers along with the A-Rank magician couldn't stand to watch this. They got in position and were about to intervene when suddenly Hexo stopped them.

”I wouldn't do anything if I were you.” He said so as he stood in between the A-Rank magician and the Guild Master.

He then turned to the crowd of adventurers who were planning on helping the Guild Master and said.

”Before you guys try anything, look at this old man's face. You think that's the look of someone who needs help?”

They took a moment and stared at the Guild Master's face, and no doubt it showed excitement. He was looking forward to the young man's next move. A battle maniac

”Also, he punched that guy over there so it's only Fair if the guy punches back. Let em at it.” Said Hexo

”Help the Guild Master? Don't be crazy, we're trying to help the blind one over there.” He said as he pointed at the young man who showed no signs of stopping as he slowly approached the Guild Master

”That's right, we're just trying to help him.”

”The guild Master won't kill him, but it could still get bad.”

Upon hearing this, Hexo unintentionally let out a snort having found it hilarious before asking with a convinced smile

”Help? That guy over there?” Hexo asked as he pointed at the young man.

He then let out a sigh before shaking his head

”You really think, that guy over there needs help? Against a former S-Rank who is way past his prime? Ha, that's a funny joke.”

”Huh? You calling us stupid?” One of the adventurers asked as he slowly moved his hand towards the sword on his waist.

He was around Hexo's height and bulky, though Hexo had more muscles. The adventurer also looked rather intimidating but to Hexo, he didn't stand out at all.

He wasn't a threat, however the instant his finger touched his sword's handle. Hexo let out an abundance of blood l.u.s.t and killing intent aimed straight at the man as he glared at him. In that moment, the Adventurer thought twice on his next move when suddenly, another adventurer beside him, grabbed his hand to stop him.

”Hey… That's an A-Rank, Don't do anything stupid.”

Upon hearing this, he moved his hand away from his sword before nodding, sweat slowly poured down his face as he realized what he had nearly gotten himself into.

”Cowards. Just Sit back and watch.” Said Hexo as he turned to the young man.

The young man was now only a few steps away from the Guild Master, yet from a normal persons view, nothing stood out. He just had his arm pulled back and ready to send a fist flying forward. Something like that from someone of the young man's size wouldn't even be able to make the Guild Master Flinch from all his Armour, or so everyone thought.

However, for some reason as the young man was only two steps away, the Guild Master's excitement began to disappear, or rather, without realizing it, he had started to acc.u.mulate slight fear. From his decades of experience, he felt that in that moment, he was standing on the palm of death's hand.

Only one step away, the young man's hand was suddenly engulfed in a dark burning flame with miniature dark electric sparks flowing through it. And in an instant, his hand curled into a fist was placed right on the Guild Master's C.h.e.s.tplate.

The movement was so fast that most of the adventurers weren't able to see it, However all the A-Rankers along with the Guild Master were. The young man sent a fist straight at the the Guild Master. It was fast, but that was all there was to it, even the flames had disappeared.

”W-What the heck, that was so fast I could barely see it. For a second I thought that-”

'Newton's Boost' The young man thought to himself
