Chapter 272 - One man war (3) (1/2)
James looked at Chloe's dragon eyes with fear and was about to do something when Mars suddenly appeared out of thin air and spoke
”There... Jane has agreed to me taking over the city... I believe this concludes our bet with me as a winner”
James stammered
”B-bullshit, as if the governor of Ular would simply give over the city to you!”
”Well she did when she swore her undying loyalty to me”
James' eyes turned crimson as he yelled
”If you refuse to hand over the crystal card I will return with an army from the NNE and conquer the city!”
Mars gave a sigh and asked James
”Are you daft mortal? Did you not see how your first arm disappeared in a flash of light? What do you think will happen if you send another army?”
”That was merely a fluke! Now hand over the crystal card! Or end up as a decaying head on a spike once our armies trample over Ular!”
Mars gave a sigh and looked up into the sky and spoke
”Info can't you explain it to him... I might kill him soon otherwise...”
As soon as Mars finished speaking something broke through the clouds above the platou and quickly descended in front of Mars, it was an avatar that had a slight frown on its face
[How long have you known I was here Mars?]
Mars gave a happy smile
”From the start”
[Che... I wanted to surprise you...]
Info looked a bit unhappy but still turned to James Ichma and spoke while releasing her full divine might
[...Why are you not kneeling mortal?]
The two eyes of the avatar shone with divine might as James' legs went numb and he kneeled down along with the one still conscious general and Vanessa, after a few seconds he finally managed to stammer a response out
”P-Please forgive me lady archangel”
[Now I believe you made a bet with Mars here... As far as I remember it went something like this: ”Well you present me with a defended city on the edge of the NNE's territory and I'll conquer it within a day, if I can I'll get the city and become it will become a free citystate under the NNE, if I can't you get the crystal card... What do you say?” is that correct?]
”That's... Correct”
”Wait Info your missing a part”
Mars pointed to the general that had mocked him and Info made an 'oh right' expression and continued
[Right... The life of the general that mocked Mars was part of the deal too was he not?]
James gritted his teeth and gave a nod, Mars showed a smile and waved his hand before the general disappeared in a flash of light much like the one that had swallowed the NNE's army a few minutes ago, Mars gave a smile and thought to himself
'Energy is matter and matter is energy... Makes perfect sense that the living god of energy can exchange the two freely right?'
James gritted his teeth even harder before he slowly spoke out while glaring at Mars
”I will remember this!”
Mars gave a sneer and waved his hand which made the the sky carriages disappear in a flash of light before he walked over and grabbed James by the neck and lifted him up to his own eyesight and slowly spoke
”I am sure you will, now have a nice trip home”
Then he dropped him like a sack of potatoes and walked over to the girls that were busy talking with Info
[---And then he said 'this sack of shit and his goons tried to mug me in the forest' while he himself had dragged him about 4 kilometers from the forest]
78 gave a giggle and spoke
”That's so Mars”
