78 This is not a Bargain, This is a Command (1/2)
A smile that caused others to shiver uncontrollably was plastered on the face of a five year old child. From all sides, three groups of people were launching themselves towards this child.
Triplets that held onto a large spear, a beast thrown by his partner, its sharp fangs releasing a white liquid, and a couple with their fists flying with great speed, all attacked Arnin from each side. They showed no mercy even though Arnin was much younger than them, and also seemed a lot weaker.
Although his name was resounding throughout the battlefield as the infamous 'Demonic Joker', it was still somewhat of an overkill to send a group of people who were at least around Orb Birth - Hell, with the highest being at Essence Manifest - Earth.
Of course, this was only true for normal Orb Birth - Hell cultivators, and Arnin was anything but normal. To him, these mice were just giving their lives to him as a gift.
”Come, all of you come!” Arnin suddenly began to laugh maniacally The three groups were somewhat startled, however their attacks did not falter.
The first of the attacks to reach Arnin were the two fists from the lovers. With great agility, Arnin dodged the two incoming fists, however he didn't allow the two lovers to leave just yet. He grabbed the woman and tossed her towards the triplets' spear, while the man was tossed towards the fangs of the flying beast.
All of this happen in an instant, not giving either of the parties a chance to react. ”NO!” The woman was the first to react. The spear was extremely sharp, and the power it contained was nothing less than her ultimate fist ability. Quickly, the spear pierced her back and came out from her bellybutton.
The man saw the horrifying sight of his lover being pierced, however he didn't have the time to do anything as he quickly entered the mouth of the beast. Even though the beast wasn't able to swallow him, it's razor sharp teeth were easily able to pierce the man's hip, releasing the white liquid into his body.
”AHH!” The white liquid entered his body, and began to corrode his insides extremely quickly. The pain he felt, however, was not only felt in his hip. A unique quality of the white liquid was having the ability to travel through his bloodstream and spread throughout his whole body. Although it wouldn't kill him, it would still cause heavy damage.
Arnin watched all of this with a smile. Since he tossed the woman towards the spear, the triplets were not able to reach him, and the same went with the beast that was tossed toward him. 'These little pests really like giving me great gifts. I should be able to recover to the peak of Orb Birth - Hell if I absorb all of their blood.' Arnin thought for a moment before slowly walking towards the triplets.
The beast was the strongest support for the beast partner, so that he would not run away without his beast. The man was not able to move for a period of time because of the corrosive white liquid that was spreading throughout his body like wildfire. The woman was also heavily injured, so she would not be able to make a move for a while, leaving only the triplets that could cause slight problems.
As Arnin walked towards them, the three looked at Arnin with shock, horror and confusion. They were confused because of the turn of events, and how it happened, while they were shocked by the speed with which Arnin delivered his attacks. This speed and power also contributed to frightening them greatly.
Of the three, the girl with the bun walked forward first. She took a deep breath before her eyes began to burn with fire, ”Demonic Joker, you have been killing people so viciously! You don't deserve to live, so either kill yourself, or be killed by us!” The girl had a heroic aura around her when she spoke.
It was true that Arnin's methods were extremely vicious, so vicious that even the higher ups felt disgust towards his actions. Arnin, however, didn't really care. He smiled, and continued to walk towards the three girls. ”If you want to kill me, then please do. I would love to see myself die, it would be an eye opener. Haha.” Arnin couldn't help but laugh wickedly, causing the three girls to shiver.
The three knew that Arnin was extremely strong, however they felt that there was a chance to defeat him if they worked together. Their power, when combined as one, was as strong as the two lovers. Although Arnin was able to quickly handle the two lovers, and even cause them serious injuries, they felt that it was all because of luck.
The three picked up the spear which had its head covered in blood. They pointed it towards Arnin, who continued to casually walk towards them.
The three girls didn't dare to move right away. They had to wait for the right moment. They had to find an opening in which they could attack Arnin and finish him in one shot.
Arnin could already tell what the three girls were planning, however it didn't matter to him. He was able to handle the lovers with ease, so the two girls in front of him were nothing more than bugs.
Slowly, Arnin walked towards the bloodsoaked spearhead. The woman was lying on the ground, close to the triplets, her stomach bleeding profusely. Arnin smiled towards the girls, slowly releasing his aura.
His aura showed that he was barely at Orb Birth - Hell. It may have seemed that his movements were easily conducted when he was attacked from all three sides, but the truth was that Arnin had to use some of his essence in order to fight back.
”Big sis, this guy is only at the early level of Orb Birth - Hell. I think that what he did before was most likely a fluke.” The short haired girl looked towards the bun hair girl.
”Don't be so stupid. Whether it was a fluke or not, we need to get out of here!” The sister with the bun spoke with fear in her eyes. Her previous heroicness dissipated, and what trapped her was the feeling of fear.
The other two girls were shocked. The girl with the long hair couldn't help but questionably look at her sister. ”Why do we need to run? Didn't you say that we would kill him, and that what he did was a fluke as well?”
”You girls really are too naive! I only spoke those words in order to try and frighten him, even a little if possible, but it didn't work. Those two Essence Manifest cultivators are severely injured, while even the beast had one of his teeth broken. The beast's partner is weak and useless, so what can we do against this monster?” The girl with the bun hair spoke with great intelligence. She could tell that although Arnin was below them when it came to essence and cultivation level, he was still countless times stronger than them in strength.
At first, she truly did believe that Arnin was able to injure the two Essence Manifest cultivators because of a fluke, but the more she thought about it, the more she found that to be impossible.
If Arnin had dodged the two lovers' attack, but in turn got hit by either the beast or the triplets' attack, then she would have thought that Arnin was only able to dodge because of luck, but Arnin did not do that at all.
He only slightly the dodged the lovers, but he didn't let them go either. Instead, he used the two lovers to block the other incoming attacks. This was not something that could be based on luck alone. Arnin had frightening skills that they could not confront.
The two sisters thought for a moment before looking at the two injured lovers and the beast with his broken tooth. They couldn't help but look back at Arnin, who walked towards them without a scratch.
”T-then what should we do? How should we escape from here?” The three knew that Arnin was most likely faster than them just by the speed of his dodging.
”We have to buy some time for the other two to recover. If they can get back up, then they will most likely fight again, however that is only if one of the two recover. If both of them get up, then there is a high chance that they will escape together.” The girl was extremely smart with her analysis.
She could tell that the two lovers did not have a superficial relationship since the woman kept frowning when she saw the man's condition, and the same went for the man when he looked at the woman.
