Chapter 299 - The Dark Fist (2/2)
A shock wave was suddenly sent through the room as the Guild Master was propelled backwards at High speeds. His face filled with surprise and confusion as he slammed into and through the wall only to land outside behind the guild.
The entire room was shocked, no one uttered a word. They didn't know what to say, even Hexo was surprised. He had expected something unexpected but he never expected the this type of unexpected.
In that instant, the three A-Rankers suddenly surrounded the young man. Each with their weapons pointed and placed near his neck or vital organs.
”You see, the guild master and I are good friends, so I must ask, wasn't that a little too much Killing intent?” The Bright Sword asked with a forced smile
”Do we kill him?” The Cloaked Girl asked
”My chant is ready, just say the word.” Said The magician
Upon seeing this, the rest of the adventurers snapped out of their surprise and also reacted, bringing their guard up and preparing their weapons.
”Let's Ki-”
Before the Adventurer in the crowd could finish. Hexo suddenly broke a table by slamming his fist into it, alarming everyone in the room. However they didn't leave their positions.
”You guys really trying to ridicule the Guild Master's Pride? I don't know much about him, but look outside. Does it look like he wants you to do all of this? It was a voluntary exchange of blows. If you all still insist on fighting him despite it having been fair, then You'll have to fight me too.”
”Huh, what could you even do-?”
The instant the adventurer had finished, despite him being across the room to Hexo, Hexo suddenly appeared in front of him and said. ”Try me.”
His movement was also fast, it was as if he had suddenly accelerated during his leap. He also seemed to chant just as the guy spoke yet not many noticed.
The man fell on his b.u.t.t before slowly backing away from Hexo.
”You're siding with that guy!?” Another adventurer asked
”I am. After all, I hate it when people get punished for doing nothing wrong. And I don't care if I have to take all of you down here to prove it.” Said Hexo
The A-Rankers who saw this, remained in their position, after all, they knew something that the others didn't.
”You… You've been casting an illusion this whole time, lucky for us, Silica was barely able to see through it. You're the wan-”
”STOP!!” The Guild Master Suddenly Shouted, alarming everyone in the room
”It doesn't matter who he is, all that matters is that we need him for this quest and that he's an adventurer!” He said so, clearly as he walked back towards the guild.
He tried hiding his injuries, but it was hard to even walk. The blow he had sustained was internal not external. His ribs and lungs were squashed in. Had he had his guard up things would have ended different, but he took it directly and could still walk. A normal person would have died, so such was as expected of a former S-Rank.
”So young man, I ask you. Will you join us on our quest?” The Guild Master asked, filled with expectations which had caused him to forget his pain.
The young man nodded and in that instant, suddenly vanished off right in front of the A-Rankers before reappearing in front of the Guild Master.
”What?”
”When did he-”
The guild master's Armour pushed into his right rib indicating that it was clearly broken.
”Argh… You got me good… *Cough*” The Guild Master muttered as he looked down on the wound
Suddenly, the Guild Master noticed all his pain disappear as the young man nodded once more before turning back to the Guild.
The guild master's eyes then widened as he noticed this.
'He knows holy magic? But he used the dark element and fire element in that punch… Does the law of the gods not affect him?'
