Bab 20: ARC ONE:CH-1.10

"Really, hah! Its still the middle of the night." Ivar squinted his murderous eyes at the group of women surrounding him. "Nulis, why are they so eager to kill us this time?"

The system was silent. Given how these harem members who were chased away a few months ago were here to kill them Nulis was also angry. "Host. You can kill them all. After all the daughter of fate is not amongst them."

Ivar's eyes flashed with hidden pleasure. "You mean...does it include that blind kid pointing her sword at me?"

"Host." Nulis replied with a smile. "She is not the daughter of fate so yeah, do as you like." The system was smiling innocently but it was actually its mad face. For the first time it wanted its host to kill off these side characters as gruesomely as possible. Thinking of how those gods were trying to break their promise despite the system's obedience towards them in completing missions, what Nulis got in return was this. So just like Ivar, the system had also had enough.

"Host, from now on, let's act on our own. I will provide my assistance to you. We don't even need to listen to them anymore. Even without them we can still enter different worlds and earn points on our own."

Hearing the system say this, Ivar was ecstatic. He chuckled. "So you are finally rebelling?" He paused. "But...do you have a way to escape their tracking?"

Nulis huffed proudly. "Don't worry host, I have also hidden some secrets from them. As long as we leave this world I can guarantee you that we will proceed to a world where we can act freely while earning points." The system was tired of playing along with the gods commands. Now he did not wish to co-operate with those bastards that were dead set on killing it and it's host.

Good. Ivar was taken aback for a bit. He had thought the system was an idiot. Turns out it actually had the guts to hide a few secrets from them.

Ding! A message was received. Nulis read it before showing the message to Ivar.

"Accept it. Let's give them a taste of their own medicine." Ivar snorted. This message containing the main mission sent by them was obviously a trap. Nevertheless, they should accept it and get the points shouldn't they? The gods were really impatient to kill them off for good weren't they?

When Nulis accepted the Main mission a count down immediately began.

01:00.....59.....58.....

"Host. You have less than a minute before we leave this world." Nulis had already started the required preparations. "Also, the godly powers of the current host body has also been sealed. So please be careful host."

One minute....no even a few seconds were enough for him to deal with these women.

"Chu Gui. You bastard. What kind of spell did you use on Guang Wang Lei?" A woman screamed at Ivar. She was the same girl who was rendered blind by the current protagonist. A red blindfold covered her eyes. Yet she held a sword in her hand, aiming it at Ivar. Yes. This was Ming Xiao Yu. She was the blind kid Ivar was refering to.

The other harem members rebuked at the same time, screaming at the top of their lungs, cursing Chu Gui.

"Right. what have you done to the supreme ruler? You bastard, if not for you pulling tricks behind the shadows there is no way our supreme ruler would throw us out of the palace." One of them shouted.

"That's right. He loved us and pampered us so much but his attitude changed overnight. Chu Gui what kind of dirty things did you pull aganist our Lei Lei!" Another shouted.

"That voice said that if we kill you we can save our lover. For our lover, our sweet supreme ruler, we will fight you till our deaths. Only when you are dead can we rest in peace."

"Yes. That's right. Kill him. Kill this bastard."

"Kill Chu Gui."

"Kill Chu Gui! Kill him. Kill him! Kill him!"

They shouted in unison. Everyone of them armed themselves with weapons.

Ivar was numb to their hatred filled gaze. These women did not have the ability to effect him in anyway, neither their hostile gazes nor their scornful screams made an impact on him. He did not even arm himself before sprinting towards Ming Xiao Yu. In a flash he towered the blind kid before him then he raised his hand.

Slap!

A powerful slap fell on her face, the momentum of the slap so powerful that she was sent flying to the side.

"!!!" The women stared at Ivar in disbelief.

Ming Xiao Yu touched her face. The skin on her cheek was swollen red as if she was hit by an iron ball. She then felt something sticky trickle down from the corner of her lips. From the pungent smell she could tell that it was blood.

"Ahhhhhhh.....Chu Gui you bastard!!!!" She screamed as she got up. Although she couldn't see she hadn't lost her sense of directions yet. Afterall she was an unruly violent teenage girl. But she was not a match for Ivar. Before she could react another slap fell on the same place on her face.

Slap. Slap. Slap.

Ming Xiao Yu was slapped so hard on her face that her facial features distorted as if she had been stung by a swarm of bees. Her cheeks were swollen red. Her mouth was covered in blood and her eyes that were covered by the red blindfold had fallen. Blood was streaming down from her eye sockets. This image of her being slapped so hard until she fainted made the other women tremble.

They let out a loud scream when Ivar stabbed a knife into her heart. And just like this Ming Xiao Yu, the third darling of this world was killed.

49...48...47...46...45...

"Ahhhh...You bastard! How can you....you are a man....yet...hitting a woman and killing her....." A woman yelled but before she could finish her words Ivar sprang towards her direction. In a flash he stood before her, his murderous gaze looking down at her.

"Bastards don't discriminate against gender, do they?" With these words a one sided slaughter began.

Ivar did not give them a chance to retaliate as he began killing them off one by one. These group of women, although armed, they were not a match for Ivar. Even with Chu Gui's powers being sealed his physical strength was not something to trifle with. Of course when facing Guang Wang Lei, it was a different matter. Thinking of this, Ivar asked Nulis.

"Where is he right now?"

Nulis replied after a second. "He is currently thinking of killing Xing Chu Lin and is at her place."

"Inform me if he returns here. After all, leaving this world in his absence will be better."

"Yes. Host." Nulis agreed with what Ivar had said.

39....38....37....35....34....

With each passing second a dead body of a woman fell. The current chamber was filled with piling dead bodies one after another. The gruesome smell of blood and violence filled the entire courtyard. In this chilling night numerous high pitched voices were screaming the entire time, powerless to defend themselves..... A few decapitated heads rolled on the floor dyed with red blood.

Ivar who was on rampage without mercy narrowed his eyes when he felt a different kind of glare on his back.

Pang!! A chill went down Nulis's spine. "Host...one amongst them is dangerous." The system warned Ivar.

"I know." He replied. He swept his gaze around searching for the owner of that gaze then he finally found the person. When his eyes landed on the owner, Ivar couldn't help but be a bit surprised.

Well well....those damn god bastards were really set on killing him this time weren't they? Damn!

The owner of those piercing gaze sprinted towards Ivar.

"What did you do to him, making him behave like that?" The person screamed. He had his holy weapon with him.

Yang Lu. This person was Yang Lu. The protagonist's close friend. He was the son of the god who had fought along side Guang Wang Lei's father during the war.

Ivar narrowed his eyes at him. A giant blade was being thrusted towards his neck, threatening to cut it off his body. Pang! Ivar caught the sword in between his hands, blocking the sharp blade that could cut him into two with bare hands. "Tsk." Ivar clicked his tongue. He then smashed the giant sword onto the ground, knocking it into the floor. Then he raised his leg and kicked Yang Lu on his face. The other person blocked his kick with one hand while his other hand retracted the sword that was stuck on the floor. In this moment Ivar jumped away from him to create some distance.

"Di.....Diiieeeeeee!!!"

He heard a woman scream from behind trying to sneak a attack on him. Ivar made a swift turn then kicked the woman, sending her flying back. Her body crashed onto the other women that were approaching him from the back. "Scram!" Ivar's jet black eyes shone with a murderous glint.

"Your opponent is me." Yang Lu roared angrily as he made his move. Now, behind him were another bunch of the protagonist's sworn brothers. It wasn't a group of useless women anymore because now there were some who could inflict wounds on Chu Gui's body right now as his powers were sealed when the main mission was accepted by Nulis. Of course, this was also a ploy of those gods to render him defenseless. Ivar smirked. Too bad his physical strength was enough to hold on until the countdown finishes.

25....24....24....23...22....

Yang Lu and his group attacked Ivar from all sides. Ivar defended against their attacks with Chu Gui's holy weapon on his one hand while the other hand held a normal sword. Although his mana had been restricted the holy weapon proved to be quite sturdy and useful, the blade of the sword was able to retaliate with durability that was on par with Yang Lu's holy weapon. Ivar did not dare to slack off. He swung his hands left and right, trying to creat some distance between Yang Lu and the others. And once he was able to do so he threw the stronger sword at the weakest fighter while moving himself forward at the same time. The blade penetrated the man's Thorat, piercing through. Ivar then swirled the blade before pulling it out. Blood gushed out from the wound of the man's neck, killing him in an instant.

Yang Lu and the others narrowed their gazes at Chu Gui. Some of them screamed before they started to attack him again.

"Host, he is here." Nulis informed Ivar of Guang Wang Lei's arrival.

19....18...17...16....15....

Ivar smirked. "Should we use him to destroy this world after we leave?" Nulis shuddered hearing his suggestion...As expected its Host was very cunning.

A figure appeared at some distance. He stared at the bloody scene before him. Hundred of dead bodies laid on the floor. All of them were women. Women from his dissolved harem. His brows frowned. He scanned the entire room. At some distance he could see another group of women standing alive. They were staring at something. Guang Wang Lei narrowed his eyes and disappeared from the spot.

When he was outside his eyes lingered around searching for that person. When he finally found him his gaze landed on the roof of the buliding. Having found him Guang Wang Lei relaxed for a bit.

But the moment he did he regretted it that instant. His eyes widened with horror.

Ivar positioned himself into a defenceless position, and while doing so he made sure to block Yang Lu's sight so that he wouldn't see the man who had just arrived. Taking the sword aimed at him in between his palm, his ten fingers clutched onto the sharp length of the weapon, making blood deliberately bleed from the place where his hands were locked onto the sword.

Yang Lu glared at him. Then he froze.

Ivar smirked at him. Triumphantly.

3.....2....1...

"Host, we are leaving this world." Nulis's voice rang in his mind. Then his soul was sucked out from Chu Gui's body. The hands that were blocking the sword from wounding the body lost its strength letting the blade fall forward.

Crack.

But before it could dig into Chu Gui's body the sword was snapped into two by another hand.

The pieces of the sword flickered in the air. Yang Lu widened his eyes when he saw that it was his sworn brother who had destroyed his holy weapon. He was about to speak something but the moment his eyes looked into Guang Wang Lei's he was rendered motionless. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead that were on the verge of dripping down. His addam's apple bobbled slowly. An overwhelming pressure fall onto him and he feel onto his knees.

Crash. Crash.

Yang Lu's entire body was smashed onto the floor, his knees squashing against the ground as if gravity was sucking them in. He heard the bones on his knee crack. From behind him he heard his group scream.

"Aaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

Then the sound of cracking neck was heard.

Explode.

Yang Lu heard sounds of explosions coming from behind him. Without looking back he knew that his sworn brothers had exploded into minced pieces. The pressure overwhelming him intensified. He could feel the bones on his thighs cracking painfully. His arms fell onto the ground, and likewise, the bones of his arms started breaking from his fingers to his elbows to his shoulders.

Guang Wang Lei stared down at him with chilling murderous gaze, his green eyes had now changed to a terrific golden colour, the killing intent radiating from them falling onto Yang Lu, making him tremble under his gaze.

Guang Wang Lei stared at the lifeless body in his arms.

Just because of a momentary carelessness....this person...

His grip onto the lifeless body tightened. The image of the soul residing in Chu Gui's body escape from this world replayed in his mind making his murderous aura even more terrifying. His dark aura leaked from his body, shrouding the entire courtyard with bloodlust.

The women standing on the ground screamed one after another as they felt their soul explode from within. Every single woman that was alive exploded violently. Their blood spattered onto the flowers and the grasses, dying them red underneath the moonlight. Guang Wang Lei then grabbed Yang Lu by his neck and hauled him in mid air with one hand. His raging eyes stared at this sworn brother of his, madly, engraving his own berserk state into Yang Lu's eyes.

Stab!

Yang Lu widened his eyes when he felt an arm pierce through his chest.

Cough. Cough. He coughed out a mouthful of blood. The arm inside his chest grabbed his beating heart and dug it out from his back. A hollow scream echoed in the silent night. The beating heart was squeezed into a pulp. Blood trickled down from the palm that had destroyed the heart. Yang Lu then felt his body explode to pieces. Before he died he saw his sworn brother look at him without guilt, as if he was just an insignificant ant to him. And his eyes that were usually a shade of beautiful green, were glowing golden, the glint in them murderous and chilling, as if he wanted to chew him alive.

On this night even the moon turned red. The bloodied rays of the moonlight highlight the bloodshed of this night.

Guang Wang Lei stared at the dead body in his arms. He leant over to Chu Gui's ears and whispered.

"You think you can escape me by dying?"

"Didn't i tell you that I hold the power to find you? No matter where you are I have the ability to track you down and find you..." His lips curved into a smirk, like a madman, as if he had lost his mind. This smirk was like the smiling face of the devil's. His golden eyes shone with sharpness that could cut the universe into halves.

"Now...now....I will have to chase you to the end of the world and don't blame me for being merciless the next time we meet..."

He will chase him down to the end of the world, no matter which world or which universe he was he was going to find him....Find him and make him regret.....for what he had done this time...

The space of the world began crumbling into pieces.......
