25 Desperation (2/2)
”Can you tell me somethings.”
”Depends on the question.”
”How did you summon those weapons? How did you find me? And how are you sure I did it?”
”Straight to the point huh? Alright the first and second have the same the answer, by using a space enchanted tool.”
Showing his hand with the bottle, a ring with some carvings was shown.
”This here is capable in storing objects, just need to image the object stored in and it will appear and vise versa.”
He showed an example by making the bottle disappear, and summoned the small orb from before.
”While this thing shows me where its other half is, the light represents the medallion's position, problem is, it can't tell the distance.”
Grinning from the last words he grabbed the ax in the ground and pointed it towards Stigma's chest.
At the sack of gold coins and precious stones hidden.
”And I am sure it was you, since I was searching for a medallion that receives messages.”
Wade jumped back afterwards readying an overhead swing to cleave him in half, with a glee like expression.
”Shame I wanted to kill you after having a good time.”
The consecutive strike from before still had his body in pain so he was barely standing, all his fight up until know were used with surprised attacks from a distance, assistance from his familiars, and had long delays of caution, so his experience in close combat was minimal.
Even when he had that fight with the leader wolf, it did not leave him that much damage. And he didn't want the puppy get killed by him.
”Alright! You can have it! Just don't kill me!”
He was about to give up, but then he felt Dusk's presents nearby at a fast pace, so he ordered him about his plan an gambled.
”...Alright don't move, if you do, then I'll beat you to death!”
He slowly moved closer and reached out his hand to his chest were to bag was hidden. But before he can grab it something caused him some pain.
”Ahh! What the hell!”
When he showed his hand an animal showed up biting his hang, before Wade can retaliate, the puppy did a move out of desperation.
Streams of lighting were emitting on its body, because of the unexpected attack Wade was panicking and tried to throw him away, but was useless.
Before it was wounded, so he used some of the Pure energy to heal him with the intentions to let it escape if things went south with his plan.
”Little bastard! I'll kill you...what the...I can't move properly.”
'The paralysis skill must have activated!'
Before he can do anything, he heard a defining roar coming closer.
”This roar is, shit!”
Wade's fear was sounded, because what was coming was Stigma's plan
***
Wade, an Early Stage 2nd Tier Cultivator afflicted to the Naga Clan, known for his epithet ”The Great Fang” named after due to his favorite use of large weapons despite his stature.
He was once a mercenary who had no great ambitions in his life, an honest living was all that he ever wanted to accomplish with his former comrade Harrison.
However, due to the greed of their employer, a cruel fate had befallen them and were sold as slaves.
Like gladiators, they were constantly used as entertainment of violence as a sport, they had to fend for their lives fighting beast with crude weapons or face them bare handed, another was to have consecutive matches of five opponents at the same time.
Everyday of constant danger had pushed them at the edge of life and death, making them realize that their lives were in the hands of others and if they cannot entertain they become food to the beast if they lose value.
Their lives would end just from such a person's whim caused them terror, the never ending hardship they had to face had them experience, desperation.
After gaining back their freedom, they both had the same idea, but their approaches were completely different.
Wade went on to his path of vengeance to those who wronged him through brute force, while Harrison went on to gain favors of those in position to dominate anyone.
He first hunted his former leader and slaughtered his entire corp, compared to all his years killing beast stronger than him, killing a group who relies on numbers are nothing.
All the fortune accumulated by his traitorous leader was now Wade's, his life was constantly tortured by him until he was finally sold as a labor slave, those merchant who saw him as a form of entertainment became a his form of lapdogs following his bidding.
Wade had used whatever means to survive, using people as tools, deceiving and taking advantage of them, treating them nothing more but a source to vent his past frustration.
Right now, he was facing a monster he had fought before, a predator tiger.
”Shit! You brat! You set me up!”
Originally, Stigma's plan was to get away from the Beast, but because of Wade, he had to take advantage of the said obstacle.
When one plays an online game, there are players called trolls that uses cowardly tactics that had annoyed him in his former life, since he was always targeted by them for being a noob in the game.
What Stigma was using was called a monster train, it works is when players would engage on a monster then run and find others players then take advantage to PK them when they are weaken.
It was a pathetic tactic, but effective for payback. Stigma was reluctant in using it, but with Wade being more of a challenge than he can handle he used the it anyway.
”Dusk!” Out of nowhere, his familiar suddenly appeared then swallowed him and Hilda whole, and vanished, only to appear next to Wade slamming his foot on his groin and grabbing the puppy.
Because of the unexpected attack, he was glaring at Stigma with bloodshot eye as he disappeared.
Out of desperation, he swung his ax towards the incoming tiger, which only angered him more.
”4th Tier huh! When I deal with him, your next you brat!”
He clashed with the beast what followed was a thunderous impact that echoed through out the forest.
