81 This Little Sh* (2/2)
”Cut the crap! What did you do to me?!” White did not care about the ramblings of Jia. She wanted to know why she was in her current state.
”You really don't know anything, do you?” Jia shook his head, before lifting his staff and shooting out another bolt of lightning towards White. This bolt didn't do any serious damage, rather it seeped into her arms. ”These bolts of mine are not meant for killing, rather they are used to weaken and numb... ” He began to slowly explain.
The more White listened, the more shocked she became. She always thought that the numbing effect of the bolts was low, and never thought that they would cause her four limbs to become unusable. ”When? When did you get the time to make your bolts so strong?!” White was feeling panicked. She knew that nothing good would come of the fact that she could not move.
Jia looked hard at White, before taking out a small object from the inside of his robe. When he pulled out the small, stick like object, White couldn't help but frown. ”What is th--” Suddenly, the object expanded into a large staff, about the same size as the current one he was using.
”Y-you have two staffs!?” White was extremely shocked.
”Jia smiled before shooting another bolt of lightning towards White, but this time he used the staff he just pulled out. ”Do you feel it? The numbing effects are just like what you remember right? Well, this is the staff I used to fight you in the past. It is much weaker than this new one.”
”W-why, didn't you use it before? If you had such a staff, then you could have finished me off a long time ago. Were you trying to make a fool out of me?!” The more White thought about the situation, the more angry she got.
”That isn't the cas--” Jia was just about to explain when he heard a voice.
”I can explain that to you.” Both White and Jia turned and looked at the person who said those words. All they saw was a child around the age of five or six. He looked very handsome for his age, however his red hair and purple eyes gave him a demonic charm.
”Who are you?” Jia was the first to ask, however he was extremely calm. He investigated Arnin's aura, and felt that it was only sitting at Orb Birth - Hell, plus it seemed to be quite weak. He wasn't nervous in any way, but what made him look at Arnin a little weirdly was the fact that he was holding onto the throat of a young girl, and dragging her across the ground.
”I can answer that after my explanation.” Arnin smiled slightly. ”This man, Jia, did not use the staff because of his own inability, not because he was trying to make a fool out of you.” Arnin spoke out with no fear.
Jia narrowed his eyes, and looked at Arnin with a hardened look. ”Little child, I am not so nice that I will leave you alive because of your age. You better scram if you know what's good for you.” Jia knew that everything in the battlefield was dangerous. There was no need to show mercy to anyone, not even a child who was much younger and weaker than him.
”Why are you so aggressive? I am just speaking the truth, right?” Arnin looked at Jia with a calm gaze before turning his head towards White. ”So White, as I was saying, this Jia person was not strong enough to use the staff, and now he is, simple as that.”
”Then why is my body like this?!” Although White did not completely trust Arnin, she still couldn't help but ask.
”Are you really asking such a dumb question?” Arnins words made White extremely angry, but she didn't say anything, and only continued to glare at him. ”Whatever, dumb people still need to be taught, am I right? Basically, the bolts of lightning are weak, yes, but they get stronger as they begin to gather in an area. This Jia person looks like a muscle head, but he is actually very calculating. He made sure to repeatedly hit you in the same spots in order to increasing the numbing effect until you were unable to use any of your limbs.”
Arnin looked at Jia and gave him a nod of approval, however this made Jia more angry than happy. White, however, fell silent. She began to think back to the fight and also remembered how every attack hit either her arms or her legs. There was no attack directed towards her vital spots.
”You really are a calculative person, Jia.” White spoke with more hate, however she couldn't do anything else. She was already in such a dire situation.
”Child, since you love to explain so many things to others, why not go to the afterlife and explain what you know to the dead? They will love listening to you.” Jia walked towards Arnin, holding his stronger staff in one hand and the weak one in the other,
Arnin shook his head, and waved his hand in the air. Suddenly, a shadow rushed out from the bushes.
The person who came out was the bun haired girl. ”What do you want? I am only here to give you information. Why are you making me fight? This was not a part of the deal.” The bun haired girl flared up as she angrily spoke to Arnin.
*UNNNNGG*
The girl in Arnin's clutches began to painfully moan, as she knit her eyebrows, and her body trembled slightly. ”Do you want to really question me?” Arnin looked at the girl calmly.
”Alright, alright. Stop hurting her, please.” Thebun haired girl panicked when she saw her sister's pain filled face.
”Remember this, you follow what I say. The more you question me, the faster your sister will approach death. Plus, I now decided that you are going to be my scout. You will go forward first, and tell me if all is safe.” Arnin spoke with a smile, however his smile was anything but friendly.
”B-but, I am weaker than you. Me going in will do you no good.” The bun haired girl quickly tried to reason with him. She knew that this was Arnin's way of giving her a death sentence.
”That's fine, if you don't want to do it, then I can just make your sister go in for me.” Arnin began to slowly lift up the unconscious sister.
Seeing his actions, the bun haired girl grit her teeth, and began to walk forward. ”Ok, tell me what you want me to do.”
Jia watched all of this happen, and his anger was reaching its peak. Ignored. He was completely ignored by Arnin.
Suddenly, Jia saw Arnin point towards him while looking at the girl standing beside him. ”Go and fight that man. You just need to fight him for a short duration.” Arnin's words shocked both Jia and the bun haired girl.
”Y-you want me to fight him?” The bun haired girl's fingers pointed at Jia as her face twitched. 'This little sh*t!' She couldn't help but curse Arnin.
