Chapter 83: Final Trials Part 17- Doing as he pleases Again, Honing Skills.
Looking towards the people who drew their attention towards menacing threat Zash was was posing at the moment the people felt their hairs stand from fear, the guards were ever so pleased to not get involved with this fight as they had seen what had happened to those unfortunate enough to pick a fight with him.
The Previous shodowy figure felt sweat form above his forehead and silently wiped it of while he could claim to be Crazy and unlawful would he dare to piss of all the Big Nobles along with making himself an Enemy of an Entire Empire ? Obviously he hadn't been bitten by a crazy dog yet to commit such stupidity while he wanted to leave, his curiosity kept him there wanting to see the conclusion to all of this.
"So let me remind you you've got 3 Minutes 45 Seconds. Or all of the people involved in these incidents will be burned alive, don't worry you won't be the first neither the last as I've said speak and I might consider sparing you lot." Saying so Zash said in a big demanour while releasing the handcuffs off the youth in the small prison and freed him while he did free him the youth was fear stricken by seeing Zash's mightiness in this case and scenario.
Similarly Estr, Havier and Benedrict too were quite afraid of Zash in this moment if they didn't knew anything better they might just be as fear stricken as the entire crowd was looking around both of them say the other Royalties sweating profusely while Havier had other concerns seeing one of her own kind as a captive that too a child who was seemingly younger than Estr which pissed off both Estr and Havier as well.
'Boy did Hausa and his men miss this opportunity to see our Prince in action they'd be so proud !' on the verge of 'tears' Benedrict watched quite pleased at how casually his little prince had slain his first bunch of people that too mostly all of them were scumbags in the name of Justice but he too understood that slaughtering all of the people in the auction House would be too much, as such he was ready to sprint into action if things progressingly got worse of course if his Prince wanted to take care of them he's free to after all his Father and big brother had been going too soft on their subjects anyways so a lot of Filth had accumulated in the kingdom it would be great if his young Prince was able to clear out some of it.
"S-S-Sire th this is a misunderstanding he's just working as a labourer not as a slave. To pay off his debts to the orphanages which grew him up, he he was abandoned since young as such he falls under the influence of the church to take of and we are just sellers even if it's inhumane if we don't do it someone else would" The salesman answered in all honesty allbe a little afraid of Zash after his recent outburst.
"Oh ? So does it gives the church the right to sell childrens ? Say how many children are sold in this auction House regularly ?" Frustrated he inquired more wishing to get most answers.
"You-r League I am not fully aware we just sell these debt ridden children or adults if they come by and only Hi-... High quality products are sold in our auctions such as Demi Humans especially for Entertainment purposes whole some kingdoms use them and train them to be as their own generational long Guards and henceforth some even we'd them off to their Sons and daughters to select a much stronger ruler candidate after much selection... I though must insist that we can at least claim to do business on Humane Levels as many a times Humans are sold in Black Markets or underground auctions separately and their situation are not not too pleasant to say the least" saying so he pleaded on his knees while the Rugged guard on the sidelines too got on his knees not daring to move when a woman suddenly went.
"What Plugarity ! My husband will see the end of yo-" unable to make a sound she died a swift death Marie Antoinette style, while Zash had no regrets for killing her as a quarter to a servants were deployed by her earlier henceforth Zash too had a reason to kill her also the vibe she gave off was too vile for Zash's likings and he didn't want to get too into Hsi character while he could berate and insult her stupid idiots like them wont give up until they met their Demise so Zash did just that.
"Does anyone here question my views regarding gender equality ? Don't annoy me I'm pissed off more than I might look so shut up ! Especially you lot in the back you reek of disgusting stenches I can just see your deaths looming over your heads you're bound to die as the Pigs you are ! If possible I'd never come close to any of you bunch, die and rot for all I care." Feeling the repulsive feeling of being cursed Zash could forsee the deathly aura accumulated from all of their screwups, Shady Malpractices, Killing of Innocents, etc such things were naturally felt by a Cultivator and that too an Eleron who had a way with curses ( Stay Tuned to more details later on )
The nobles hearing this stayed silent and looked towards the decapitated lady's head who's finger was still pointing at the youth's current spot as he sat and looked towards the people from time to time he shakes his head in a seemingly disapproving manner.
"Ok I'll let you lot go for now, as ive to start in major work from now on" stretching his hands he looked towards the people who sighed in relief as they had been spared and given a second chance in their Life.
"While I say that remember to do your work properly you are there to help people not for the sole purpose of filling your pockets from screwing over innocent lives and that goes for you lot too" he then darted towards the Salesman who trembled in his knees along with the guardians and other staff besides him as if they were sentenced to live another Day yet braught straight back to help the next second.
"If I find you dealing with something like this once again I won't do much than to wipe out everything you're working for overall, we Humans do many things for our loved ones and won't hesitate to any crimes for their sake as such family is our most important aspect we spend money, Time, love and Affection over them and treat them as our home, I Have a Full Guarantee that I can 100% without a doubt protect my loved ones giving them the best of what I can, the question is can you ?" Asking the question Zash disembarked as the hindgws on the doors came off as he threw the piles of money on the floor he looked the Auctioneer staff dead in the eyes.
"Pass me any and all of such institutes which indulge in such malpractices also pass on shady money lenders in all fields you are familiar with, you better be careful or I might just slaughter everyone here and then go out there and deal with those scumbags later on. What do y'all say it's a good thing to let criminals suffer right ?" Asking the question ever so innocently they felt like a Demon was questioning them to which they all nodded fearstrickenly.
"Good good that you understand, well then pack my Luggage also take that as the fees for the damages and whatnot, I don't care just get it done with quickly also prepared a third carriage for the Boy and as I said before Throw the other trash out from the start of the biddings I don't need any of that crap." Darting off near Benedrict the public was silent as this was the most disgustingly savage behaviour they had ever witnessed yet can they complain ? They were about to be killed a few moments ago due to this youth's Temper tantrum so who would be foolish enough to try anything.
Every Noble hurried off not daring to stay another moment there while Zash just signalled the youth he had freed earlier to follow him as he was invited to have a seat besides him.
While Benedrict Passed him some snacks and carried the youth and went to meet Havier whirl Zash said nothing and went behind him flaying his hands behind his back time and time again.
"Hey Big Brother, Teacher fancy seeing you here." Saying hi both of them fell short of a response and just continued chatting when their topic changed to the child who had relaxed himself way better than before especially after seeing one of his kind.
"That is you see our kind has many problems to deal with especially the social structure of our kind is mostly lacking... Abandoning children is no rare thing in our species most likely due to our time's prospective being different than other's or simply on a whim." Havier said regrettably as she had experience raising abandoned children of her kind.
"I still don't get it. Even a Scumbag will look after his child till he's able to fend for himself right ?" Epis's questions similarly worked Estr's questions.
"Haa~ it's difficult to explain as we are a long living species we have most taken care for us, we lack social structure mainly due to our secluded nature from within and as for our curiosity part we only take interest in one specific path or one specific person and cling on to it till the bitter end not caring for anything else but still that's avoidable if one understands socialisation to an extent and while most are neglegent in these aspects there are a selected few who follow up with proper Parenthood but those are rare cases, as even my parents neglected me in my younger years I completely understand how wrong it is, if not for being under my Master's care who was also my maternal Grandparent, as he and I had similar topics of interest to focus and devote our lives towards we got off well. That is of course till his death it eventually comes for us all" thinking about her Master she had tears in her eyes as he had fulfilled all the roles from a parent to a teacher along with a friend if given a chance she would do anything to bring him back.
Seeing this Estr wiped off her tears and comforted her while Zash Benedrict and the youth just sat there like a third wheel not knowing what to say.
"Well that's good alright at least Teacher will become a dependable parent from the way I see it. I wish you two best of luck for your future." Saying so Zash departed while dropping a major Atomic bomb on the stupid couple's head and heart causing Chaos in both of their minds as they turned into solidified statues which had to be taken back by hand as the guards helped Benedrict with moving them, Zash too was finally ready to move out and thinking as his actions might shock the duo too much he's bound to send them off first and what better opportunity to strike while the iron is hot he dealth this devastating blow almost perfectly.
"Take care of them I'll let off some steam and take care of some scumbags as I see fit you're free to follow me or go back." Saying so he turned to Benedrict who had expected as much.
"I will always follow you my Prince these few Red Knight are enough to act as proper guards for the First Prince and Lady Havier though Prince Estr himself is not a pushover nonetheless." Benedrict said assuring the stupid couple's security.
"Very well let's go... Oh right arrange 3 guards desperately I've braught 3 carriage worth of goods and made some connections with this Auction house's Salesman who isn't too bad himself he gave off an honest vibe but he's also not totally sure but if possible look into him and find out how he is personality wise as he can be put to use. Ultimately what we currently lack is enough Personal at our sides." Yawning he continued borishly.
"The least they're required of is ability to protect themselves, let loyal to their backers and ultimately grow while fulfilling their duties. Is that too much to ask for ?"
"Well Young Prince it's hard but not impossible I'll help in this matter whenever I can."
"Thanks it's good having reliable people around. That said are you sure you're ready for killing off some scumbags ? Things will get even more bloody I can guarantee you that." Epis said meeting eye to eye with Benedrict.
"I will give it my best efforts" while he wanted to say he was ready for everything he didn't dare to proclaim that anymore thinking about the person he was before as this freak had a certain criteria for being up for his words while had had witnessed his fair share of blood and gore on the battlefields he still mentally prepared himself for whatever may lie ahead of them on that night.
'May lord have mercy on me' praying so he carried out Zash's orders and prepared men to investigate the Salesman and the Guards for seeing how useful they are for their plans later on, along the while preparing 12 or so individuals from the palace to send the materials he had baught from the auction off to the Royal Quarters of the First Prince.
As the two walked alongside Zash looked quite annoyed while going through the information contained in the sheets he had been given by the Salesman who himself had outsourced this information just incase he might need some help or if he'd run in a bad deal with such people he could cripple their weak points which in turn helped Zash as this was a happy go lucky scenario for Zash's similarly proving how absurd his luck was.
One had to bear in mind that collecting information and useful data is a very time consuming process also the accuracy varied as in these times certain chains and networking groups may change demans and supplies or trading options entirely depending on the market structure but being the absolute Genius that Zash was he would be damned to not get any useful information out of even the age old stuff needless to say he had all the listed Churches and Criminal Organisations in the back of his hands the only thing is that he needed a perfect path for his starting point as destroying one such group would alert the other group or the information may be transferred due to spies or spies pretending to be captives' not in the likelihood but this was still Zash with him overstimulated sense of humour as he's already dealt with such cases back on Earth alongside his New Home as well henceforth he was quite experienced in handling such scenarios.
"Say Sir Benedrict let's take the quickest route turning twists and turns only adds more to other's suspicion." Turning towards Benedrict he said and threw a Throwing knife In a back alley.
"This-" looking towards the alley he too was about to deal with the guy but as it turned out he didn't needed to.
Shaking his head in a 'nevermind' manner he then asked.
"How does Second Prince propose we make our way and where do we start ?" Being the Experienced individual he was he could already spot the bloodlust leaking out from Epis's body which indicated some people were about to be be sent to the afterlife by their hands to which he can just follow his Prince wondering if things had progressed a bit too soon for their own good as Epis was yet only 3 Months old yet neverminding his Godalike intelligence he may have been introduced to killing a bit too soon yet he can it sigh helplessly as the situation seemingly demanded him to be like that and that too understood.
'All I can do is follow and protect my Prince... Looking towards Epis who seemed to be thinking a lot was quite a bit Pleased and wondered how his mother may feel seeing his growth for he had watch her grow since she ever began socializing and treated her like her family that too was a good memory of the good old days as these years had also taken a huge toll on all the palace's staff and Guards and when everything was bleak and their kingdom was going towards the path of doom Epis's Awakening and the miracles he had pulled off one after another rose Benedrict's hope and for Months the flame of hope has never died down as each Day It grew stronger and Brighter than before currently it was even more Brighter as being besides this Freakish Beacon of hope was like Living an Dream too good to be true.
"How about we go from up ?"
"Up ?? I'm sorry but what does your Highness means ?" Benedrict sweated a bit and shuddered to think about what it even meant can his Prince Even Fly ?
"P-Prince you... You don't mean flying right?" Looking towards Epis he waited for the response not knowing what he might do if what he was currently thinking was done in reality as it would shatter all barriers and beliefs Benedrict held in the order of this world.
"Hmm no nothing too crazy yet, I meant we can just jump off on the rooftops it would be a good training for both of us you know controlling our footing and knockback strengths take it as extra training method I just came up with while we make out way towards the first target. Besides I can't fly for a while and it's too energy consuming nevermind that we have a long list of targets we have to settle by the night I can't won't be able to make two people fly just yet it would take forever for me to recover ahem* by forever I mean only half a day but still we are short on time now let's go." Without giving Benedrict time to prepare himself Zash just shattered Benedrict's wordly knowledge and forced him to follow as Benedrict too much to his surprised learned to better control his footwork.
Whoosh~ sounds of whooshing can be heard in the air as the air flowing around the two made contact with them they learned to move almost silently, of course thing would favour them even more if there was no sudden opposing gusts wind present
Looking back Benedrict and Zash silently prayed for some poor souls buildings rooftops as they accidentally cracked and in some cases destroyed the rooftops from their houses and mansions in the areas which was it in the starting phases, in some cases the tiles and roofs were too weak while in some cases they had to adjust their landing trajectory on certain locations perfectly which of course was hard but for those two it was easy to get hang of quite quickly.
After Fifteen minutes or so they reached their first location making detours and silencing the secret watchers who were well hidden in the darkness while they might be hard for ordinary individuals to find them these bunch of skilled experts in hiding had become the Perfectly stationed target practice dolls for both Benedrict and Zash as their Senses alone were enough to determine their locations. Killing 13 of such individuals Zash complemented Benedrict's marksmanship.
"Wow you're really good with your senses all the while being Great at both Swordsmanship & throwing Knifes sir Benedrict" as 7 of the people were dealth with Benedrict before Zash even had to instruct him and point their individual spots to him really appreciated his skills
"No no My prince it's nothing for me to be proud of such meager skills these Knife throwing skills were taught to me by Hausa also all the Black Knight must at least be familiar with all the weapons types available and it is a must for them to master 3-5 Weapons of course More additional weapons proficiency the better only detrimental in certain cases but yes that's one thing as for my Senses I am more impressed by you my Prince." Benedrict didn't lie in the slightest as these Senses he had were derived by Hard-fought life and death battles yet a 3 Month old is already proficient in them.
"Oh that's you see my Power's act as a natural Senses all of my senses are hightened while I'm using my Powers you see as for my skills in detecting people I use my power something like a spiderweb in a small still space as for other spaces I treat them like a lake or a large body of water, take for instance all living beings reflect certain types of Auras, Heat, Feelings of Dread, Fear or Happiness is all seen by their Auras alone" throwing his hands out Zash just gave the ultimate I don't know card on the table
"I know you too may be curious just as much as I am it's just that I think time will reveal some things it s meant to revel." Saying so Zash just turned and left for Benedrict to contemplate what he had heard and draw some good inspiration from hints given by him as far as things were concerned Zash's help can only extend to this much and as this world was quite underdeveloped in technology he too was quite limited by certain aspects.
" Anyways Stay alert, this one gang seems notorious for making some unethical things... Graverobbing and demanding money for the deceased relatives, Slavery and Kidnapping children is a norm in their description and a few things are explained below the sheets, block off all the exits in the place not a single one is allowed to escape as for how things may end up later, remember to await my orders and Don't free even the captives unless I say so, just stay put while I have my fun" saying nothing more Zash jumped off from the terrace of the parallel building adjacent to the Criminals Hideout.
'Wait a second was that full blown admition on Prince's part of his way of having 'fun' ?'
"I knew it it's a bit too soon for prince to indulge in such things... " Ahh screaming silently Benedrict was quite angry at the Criminals and hoped all of them could Die by his Prince's hands as they were the very Reason he was here in the first place ! Seemingly annoyed he did as Epis ordered and barred all the exits with minimal effort in a few minutes all 17 Exit points were barred off by Benedrict if someone used them they'd just be like rats trapped at the end of the tunnel.
As Zash looked around for a bit carefully and scanned his surroundings and nodded quite pleased.
Due to such shady organisations being situated in the block the neighbouring Mansions and Houses were mostly empty except for the people who had made peace with them hence no one was present in the surrounding area as it was around 9:30 PM and Most if not all the people were having dinner around this time.
As Zash silently made his way to the rooftop of the Huge Building he looked for an opening and sure enough he spotted a location which naturally caved in which in turn was covered by a majesty piece of rug which was somehow held in place by a rock.
Removing the rug Zash saw the Criminals in full view, he saw around 35 + people who were engaged in various activities 7 guys were transporting coffins, 5 people were playing darts while the other people were eating which somewhat made Zash disgusted at their standard of living Hell there were literally dead corpses in the room, Children in cages, rotten bits of flesh were on floor with disgusting drag markings while no effort was done to hide them these scums were playing chatting and even Eating in such a situation ! Facepalming Zash shakes his head going.
'well let's get this done and over with. Hmm there can be a hidden room or traps in the from gotta take care of the basements reinforcement at hand as well I guess 45 another targets' thinking so Zash just guessed how many more targets there can be in the basement as the building whish was 4 stories tall already had his Senses pushed to the limit as his Senses range was only 50 or so plus meters and being the careful kind he wouldn't be straightening out his senses in a line as it might ward off danger from the sides and even while the possibility was Almost impossible Zash was still being careful as he genuinely wanted to help This kingdom especially Estr, Havier and Edwin alongside everyone else he knew in this world as such he had to be careful.
Whew~ breathing in and out he retracted his senses and made them flow naturally not at all forcing them but feeling them in natural as it turns out he's still learning to better control his senses in this body as it had only been 3 months in this body
Zash still lacked the usualness he felt bear in mind that Zash had lived for more than 11,000 years in his Original body hence getting used to multiple bodies is not a common thing to say the least, still he was getting the hang of it more so due to his Cultivation but he had thaught of an even better way of improvement and that is to throw himself in a Natural Life threatening fight which is bound to hone his skills.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
COOLASH
COOLASH So hope you all liked this chapter there's action coming in the next chapter which should be out soon though I like making them long.
Interesting Facts: An Wolverine and a Honey Badger are technically from the same species just evolved differently, If a fight between them occurs the wolverines would win bit soon die from the wounds inflicted upon him by the honey badger, a Honey Badger's skin is highly resistant there are instances of them surviving arrows, Peokupines spikes and even taking on a machete head on you can fire a Bullet at the badger yet it would still walk away like nothing happened and you'll think about this instance throughout your life how a honey Badger memes you they are so ferocious Cheers cubs look like them in their youth (I don't know if that's something that should be proud of I'll make the next one on cheetahs to clarify) Honey Badger's don't care for Bees stinging them till death it'll keep eating honey till it Dies before giving a Shit about it, they take on poisonous snakes and go into a coma and wake up hours later like they had been through a hangover they even secrete a bad scent like a skunk yet rarely use them as they're too agression and turn to violence at any given chance Lions( Have Killed) Elephant ( I wouldn't be Surprised if they avoided them even they might know you don't need with Crazy) , Hayenas ( Have been Killed), Humans( As of yet not an instance found yet avoid them in all circumstances and It is advised to not Screw with them they'll take you up on anytime ) anything you name it Honey Badger Gives No Fuck basically like an mad Crazy Boss from a game their lifes worth depends on them being like drugged up Monsters that they are Firstly they resort to violence, Secondly they resort to violence and Thirdly they resort to violence in any given case. If that's still not enough to stop you from screwing over and go and stupidly try to take a selfie with them just let nature do it's course and kill you by Natural selection. Remember Honey Badger Gives No Fuck.
Stay Safe and let's meet again.
