Chapter 97 - And That Takes Care of That (1/2)
”And where do you think you're going. The party has just started.” Said Mesa. Turning around, they saw Mesa approach them with an evil grin on his face.
Looking around, Mesa noticed that there were fewer people left than he had expected. Of the 12 people that he expected should be in the barrier, only ten were left. The ones that managed to escape were an elder of the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Sect, Mu Tianchou, and a disciple of the Burning Heaven Clan, Fen Juange.
”Hmm… it would seem like some rats have managed to dodge the trap.” Mumbled Mesa to himself.
”Hey, Jasmine.” Said Mesa.
”Yes, what is it Mesa?”
”Two people have managed to slip through the cracks of the trap and are now running away. Can you take care of them?” Said Mesa.
”Hmmph! Why should I come out and take care of those people? You're the one who missed them, so you should take care of them yourself!” Said Jasmine, huffing, crossing her arms in front of her chest and looking the other way.
”Because they have seen Ophis and it would be a chance for you to use the Age Seal and the Mystic Eyes without any problems, now that the One Above All removed the poison from your body.” Said Mesa. After a few seconds there was still no response.
”Jasmine… Jasmine… Are you there?” Asked Mesa.
”She is gone Mesa. She was gone right after you said she could use her Mystic Eyes.” Said Ophis. Hearing this made Mesa sweatdrop.
”Anyways… back to the matter at hand.” Said Mesa as he concentrated himself on the people in front of him.
”So… as you can see! You are stuck here inside this barrier with me!” Said Mesa to the remaining people inside the barrier, who were looking absolutely horrified.
”So I have some good news and bad news. The bad news is, you f.u.c.k.i.e.d up big time by rushing head-first into an overly obvious trap because you were being a bunch greedy idiots who thought they could score big and easily. And now, you are about to die.” Said Mesa. The people who were left in the barrier had all been paralyzed by fear. Some had even lost the light in their eyes as they knew that there was nothing they could do. The one they had intended to kill and take his treasures had turned out to be faking it the whole time and was way stronger than any one of them. And to make matters worse, they were trapped inside a barrier with their supposed target. Basically their roles of hunters and hunted had completely flipped.
”But I've good news too. You see, there's no need to wonder where your god! Cause he's right here…” Said Mesa as he took an evil grin on his face and continued in whispering tone: ”…and he's fresh out of mercy.” After Mesa said that, the Burning Heaven Clan and Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Sect group started pissing and shitting their pants in fear. Some were even crying.
”What was it you said to me earlier Fen Moli. 'Give us all your treasures and I might consider letting you die painlessly.' How about I give it you. All you have to do is catch it.” Said Mesa as a golden portal appeared next to him, out of which a spear appeared. Looking at this spear, everyone present was in shock, because it was much more powerful than any weapon they have ever seen. Before they could even comprehend what was happening, the spear shot out at a speed that none of them could even register. And next thing they knew they heard an explosion, with snow and dirt being kicked up. After it settled down, they saw what was left there. The body of a Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Sect elder, Mu Xuwen, was impaled on the spear and nailed down to the ground. Looking back at Mesa, their nightmarish hell just continued to get worse as more and more of those golden portals started opening behind Mesa's back and out of these portals sword, spears, hammers, halberd and all kinds weapons were sticking out. And every single one of these weapons was an even greater treasure than the last one.
”Awww… Looks like he couldn't catch that treasure. Well, I've still got many more treasures to share with you. Let's see if anyone else can catch these treasure then.” Said Mesa.
But just before he could launch these weapons at them, Fen Moli, through sheer force of will, managed to speak up: ”M-M-M-Mesa Uchiha!! I-I-If you dare kill us, you will suffer the consequences!”
After Fen Moli said that, Mesa aborted his attack and looked at Fen Moli seriously without saying anything. Thinking he had Mesa on the ropes, Fen Moli immediately became arrogant and started to speak so against Mesa, hoping his bluff would work: ”That's right! You may be more powerful and you may have these powerful treasures, but you are all alone! Both Young Master Fen Juecheng and second Young Master Fen Juebi have a soul imprint on their bodies. If you dare kill us, the Master of the Burning Heaven Clan will find out immediately who killed them. And then, the entire Burning Heaven Clan will come after you! No, not only the Burning Heaven Clan! But also the Xiao Sect and the Mighty Heavenly Sword Villa will come after you! And you know that you can't fight against all of us!”
Staring down at each other, Fen Moli was starting to believe that his bluff was working and so he stood back up in an arrogant way and encouraged the rest of the group to do the same. But just as they were thinking they had won, they heard laughter. Looking over to the source of the laughter, they saw Mesa laughing his ass off.
”Hahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahah…!!!! Really?! Do you really believe that I wouldn't dare to kill you because of that?! Do you really think I am afraid of the Burning Heaven Clan, or the Xiao Sect or the Mighty Heavenly Sword Villa?! Hahahahahahahhahahahhahahahah…!!! That is a good joke!” Said Mesa, laughing out loud. Just as the group had hoped they could intimidate Mesa, their hopes were starting to dwindle.
”Let me tell you a story Fen Moli. A few days ago Ling Kun - yes THAT Ling Kun! - came over to my room. It was the day that I had first showed off the Boosted Gear and he came to my room to threaten me into giving it to him. And do you wanna know what happened?” Said Mesa as he looked over to the horrified faces of the group.
”Let me tell what happened. I teleported the both of us to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and there we fought. Of course, I beat the living shit out of him and tortured him for an entire night. After that I teleported us both back to his room and erased his memory of that night to prevent the hassle that would come with it if I had killed him. So if I can do that to Ling Kun, an elder of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region! Why would I be afraid of a tiny little piece of shit sect like the Burning Heaven Clan or the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Sect!” Said Mesa.
”LIES! Those are all lies!” Yelled out Fen Moli.
”Yeah, sure. Whatever. Now, goodbye and good f.u.c.k.i.n.g riddance.” Said Mesa as he launched all the weapons out of the Gate of Babylon that have been standing by. After the explosions and the snow had settled down, the carnage became visible. Everyone had been impaled and nailed to the ground in a hail of weapons. Everyone, but one survived. There in the corner of the barrier was Fen Juecheng, cowering on the ground in a fetus position, a crying mess covered in tears and snot that had soiled himself.
Walking over to him, Mesa could see him curling himself up to make himself as small as possible, all the while screaming in fear: ”NO! PLEASE NO! SPARE ME! I AM SORRY! PLEASE, DON'T KILL ME! PLEASE!”
”I am not gonna kill you Shinji. I am having too much fun messing with you. But I am gonna change your memories.” Said Mesa as he grabbed Fen Juecheng by the throat and used Kotoamatsukami on him. Using it, he erased his memory of seeing Cang Yue and Mesa f.u.c.k.i.n.g each other. He also erased the memory of him killing all of them. Earlier he had used the String-String Fruit powers to take control of Fen Juebi and make him look the other way. This way after he had killed him, the Burning Heaven Clan Master, Fen Duanhun, wouldn't be able to see who had killed him. He replaced those memories of him and Cang Yue f.u.c.k.i.n.g each other, with memories of them close to each other without having had s.e.x with each other. He replaced the memories of him killing their entire group with memories of them encountering a Tyrant Profound Realm Beast that exterminated their entire group. He had managed to escape with sheer luck only. And most importantly, he erased the memories of Ophis.
”And with this, nobody will find out what happened and I am spared all that hassle that would come with it.” Mumbled Mesa to himself as he left Fen Juecheng behind, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and walked over to the barrier that disappeared as he arrived there. And just outside, stood a wide-eyed and frozen Xia Qingyue, looking shocked.
”Ah Xia Qingyue, it's so good to see you. How have you been? Have you had any luck finding some treasures?” Said Mesa.
It took a while before Xia Qingyue even moved a muscle. And the first thing she said in a fearful tone was: ”Wh-wh-who or what are you?”
