Chapter 146 To kill an emperor 8 (2/2)
the mage got up and walked out the room with Mars following after her, after they had walked for a while they reached another checkpoint were one of the guards talked to the mage
”ah lady Anna, are you here to see the emperor?”
”yes I have brought a guest with me too”
the guard looked over at Mars and gave a nod
”that's fine”
both of them smoothly passed through the checkpoint, then after making sure no one was around Mars gave the mage a pat on the shoulder, draining her mana again making her face even more pale
”...why did you drain my mana again?”
Mars gave a smile
”so you don't get any funny ideas, now please lead the way lady Anna”
the mage clicked her tongue
”will you at least let me live if I show you the way?”
”hmm... sure as long as you don't get in my way”
the mage remained silent as she let the way and after a little more walking they arrived at a reinforced door
”he's in there”
Mars gave a nod and activated his [Energy: sense], sure enough just like the mage said there was a single person inside laying on a king sized bed seemingly asleep, Mars narrowed his eyes slightly that person had no mana, this was the first time Mars had ever seen a person without mana
'well there was no mana in the world where I came from so it makes sense an otherworlder like him have no mana...'
”good you may leave.... be quick about it!”
”y-yes”
the mage ran back the hallway
”well I figure there's about 2 minutes until more enemies arrived so let's make this quick... Victoria you ready?”
”I'm... ready”
”okay then let's do this”
Mars walked up to the door and put his hand on it
*BANG*
”oh it's more sturdy than I thought”
Mars charged his [Energy: discharge] even more and with a bang the door flew off its hinges into the room were the person inside had already woken up from the noise the person was dressed in a sleeping gown and held a single bladed sword in his hand, he gave a frown when he saw Mars and asked in a calm tone
”....and what is this?”
Mars gave a warm smile like he was greeting an old friend
”hello Shouta Yammato, my name is Mars and I'm the 5th living god, the living god of energy”
”a living god..? and what are you doing in my bedchambers?”
Mars' smile widened slightly before he spoke
”you have annoyed me so I'm here to end you”
the emperor's eyes narrowed slightly before he drew his single bladed sword and pointed it at Mars
”well then let's get this over with, I still have some paperwork left to do”
Mars drew his sword and for a few moments none of them moved until suddenly Mars activated [Instant movement] and arrived before the emperor and slashed out
*CLANG*
a sound of metal meeting metal stuck out as the emperor blocked Mars' slash, Mars gave a frown and reactivated [Instant movement] again as he once again slashed at the emperor
*CLANG*
Mars pulled back and with a wide smile on his face he asked
”you can use it too?”
the emperor gave a confident smile
”as I said I'm a busy man, so let's end this quickly”
Mars gave a sigh and activated [Instant movement] again and turned into a blur, but the emperor also activated [Instant movement] and turned into a blur and for a time the one thing that happened in the room was the sound of metal meeting metal with loud clangs sounding out before suddenly the two of them reappeared again, Mars was covered in wounds and the emperor was slightly out of breath. As for the reason Mars was covered in wounds even though he had the higher level in swordsmanship was simple, the emperor had more experience with actual sword fights than Mars, if Mars had his rifle from his past life then this would not even be a competition the emperor would be long dead
”is this all a living god amounts to?”
”oh you're on now”
Mars quickly transformed into his half-dragon from and suddenly the emperor let out a condescending laugh before he spoke while a savage light shone in his eyes
”it's no wonder you can't beat me, you're just a dirty non-human!”
Mars narrowed his eyes slightly before both of them turned into a blur again
