278 Thunderborn (1/2)

”WHAT?! I'm surprised!” Uhmmm is this really their King? It feels like he's always surprised for some reason.

”I'm surprised. I thought there's no need for me to fight but it looks like my dumb guards are so slow to fight a group of humans that moves so fast. I'm surprised.” The King said.

”I'm sorry.” The apologetic boss said.

”*Spit* Stop apologizing! *Spit*” The spitting boss angrily said.

”I'm surprised. You're supposed to be my guards and I just protected you. I'm surprised.” The king said with dismay.

I know that this is not the time to be impressed but I can feel that he's really overpowered. I don't think we can defeat him with what we have right now. It feels like even if my whole guild attacks him, we still won't stand a chance.

”Now, I'll show you the power of a KING! I will be surprised! GWAAAAAAAH!” What?! His enmity is so damn intense! His aura alone is making us shiver and even the earth itself shows how strong the this King.

”Scy...” Akko? I checked her and... what?! She's kneeling and weak! The King's aura is making her weak that she was forced to kneel! How about...

”Don't worry about me... I can still... ugh...” Zia can't take the pressure as well!

”LIZARD KING'S WATER BLAST!” An attack without warning?! He's aiming for Akko! It's too late for me to help her!

”ULTIMATE LIGHT SHIELD!” She did her best to create a shield and was able to block it but...

*CRACKS!* It broke her shield and she was pushed back by the attack! The power of his attack got significantly reduced by her light shield but the impact made her thrown away! I need to stop her from hitting the trees!

”FIRE BOOSTER!”

*CATCH* I did my best to catch up and I was able to save her, stopping her from getting injured but... she already lost consciousness...

”Wake up, Akko, wake up!” This is bad, she really passed out because she used a lot of mana to attack the apologetic boss and now she used her remaining mana to stop the King's attack.

”LIZARD KING'S POWER BLAST!” What?!

”KYAAAAH!” Oh no! Zia! She was hit by the boss frontal attack with his knuckle but she was able to defend by creating a shield!

”Huff... Huff... Don't underestimate me! LIMIT!”

*BOOOOOOOOM!*

”ACK!” She tried to use her limit break but it was too late! The King's hand exploded with water burst destroying her shield and knocking her away!

”ZIIIAAA!” GRRRR! You'll pay for this! Zia's out as well. Ugh!

”I'm surprised. You're their leader yet you can't protect them. All you do is tell them what to do. You don't have the power to be their leader. I'm surprised.” Ugh... he's quite right. My negative charisma is the only thing that protects me from his hostility. My enmity makes me stand up against monsters' terrible aura. Without it, I'm the first one who should have passed out.

”I tell them what to do because I trust their abilities. They might be more powerful than me but don't underestimate me.” I replied.

”I'm surprised. The girl almost used her limit break. I don't want that happening on my island. How about you? What can you do without your girls? I'm surprised.” What can I do?

I admit that without them, I will never reach what I achieved but it doesn't mean that I can't do it myself. My whole life, I was alone. My whole life I didn't ask for anyone's help because... wait... what am I saying? Ugh... my head! It hurts...

”I'm surprised. We're not even fighting yet and you are already losing your mind.” *Heavy breathing* What was that? Another dream? Whatever... I have to concentrate and focus.

”I'm surprised. I don't think you have what it takes to even face me so I'll let my guards handle you and watch you get killed by them. Be careful now, your girls are not with you anymore.” I guess it won't be easy for me...

”Then I guess I don't have a choice. Let me just put both my friends to a safe place and you can do whatever you want with me.” I replied and so I started putting them in a safe place.

”*Spit* Sure, it doesn't really matter. *Spit* You're all still going to die. *Spit*” The spitting guard replied.

”I'm sorry.” Can't he say something other than I'm sorry?

***

I tried to buy some time to check if they can wake up but it looks like they're really enjoying their nap. Both of them got one shot by the boss, it didn't kill them but enough to catch them off guard and deliver a massive blow. Can I really win against both of them?

”*Spit* Now stop wasting our time and show us what you really got. *Spit*” I don't know why he spits a lot but I need to slice his long mouth soon.
