章 9: Puppet Show
Chapter 9: Puppet Show
Hearing that Aaron had said he was willing to face them by himself, Marvin and other 3 stared at each other before laughing.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Hahahaha this kids too funny!"
"Did you hear what he said? The other don't even need to help. Hahahahaha!"
The 3 men behind Marvin simply couldn't control themselves, this kid was too funny. To think he would dare to challenge all 4 of them by himself!
"Kid, is that supposed to scare us? You don't even have a sliver of Qi, stop acting tough and hand over your belonging!", Marvin said with a grin on his face.
All those on the side who were watching shook their heads. They all had sensed that Aaron had no Qi which meant he was mortal even if he appeared to a noble due to his clothing, it meant nothing without power. A mortal challenging 4 Late Core Formation Cultivators, he was courting death.
However Aaron just smiled than did something which confused all present. He slowly he lifted his right hand. His index and ring fingers were slightly bent while the other 3 stood straight out.
Marionette!
Marvin and the other 3 who were still smiling suddenly felt their bodies stiffen. Before the could react the felt something restraining them, when they realized that they couldn't move the tried to us their Qi. They struggled but not matter how hard the tried they couldn't move.
"Bastard! What have you done to us?!", Marvin yelled. Panic filling his heart! He couldn't understand how a kid with no Qi could stop his movements.
Everyone watching was thrown into confusion by Marvin's statement.
However before their very eyes they saw something inconceivable. The young man started moving his fingers in strange manner, soon after wards Marvin and the 3 men behind him starting dancing.
Yes they were dancing!
Everyone from The Red bands, Violet and Rose , and the Spectators were at a lose.
'What's happening?'
'Why are the dancing?'
The young man who wanted to step in earlier spoke up
"T-Teacher...Whats going on?", his mouth hanging open. He couldn't understand what was going on.
".....", his teacher was no better off, he was just a confused. However as he continued to watch the young man move his fingers he quickly came to realize! Hes controlling them! But how? He doesn't have any Qi!
The Red Bands were just as shocked. They knew Aaron was strong but to be able to bind 4 late Core Formation Realm experts was beyond their expectations! Is this really the strength of some at the Peak Core Formation realm?
No! Absolutely not! He was able to manipulate 4 Late Core formation experts effortlessly!
Could he be in the Earth realm?!
As this thought flashed through the minds of everyone present, their hearts shuddered. An Earth Realm Cultivator who was only 14! This was impossible. The youngest person currently alive on the Stellar Void Continent to reach the Earth realm was the Emperor of Dawn! The second strongest cultivator on the continent!And he had only reached the realm at 15, but now in front of them was someone who was at least a year younger!
However they still couldn't understand one thing, why couldn't they sense any Qi from him? How could he be this strong and still have to signs of Qi! Was he really at the Earth Realm? Their understanding of the world was falling apart.
"Hahaha, dance for me!", Aaron was laughing hysterically, the dance he had them perform was the Macarena. Just watching these 4 men perform the moves with such grace and timing brought joy to his heart. As for the fact that we was the one controlling them and making them dance with such perfection this was no issue.
'I'll give you all the credit. How magnanimous I am! Hehehe', he chucked in his heart.
Aaron realized that his plan of claiming the Hie-Hie no Mi alone as his bloodline had ended before it started. However, he couldn't bother to think of these things as he had never planned on hiding either one of his abilities in the first place.
'Might as well go all in', he said in his heart as if coming to a decision.
"A-Aaron, what is this?", Andrew couldn't help but swallow as he asked. He never thought Aaron was this strong.
"This is my Bloodline ability", Aaron casually responded. Since he knew he didn't have an Qi he could only rely on this as an explanation.
When the surrounding observers heard him there jaws dropped.
'What kind of over powered Bloodline is this?! To be able to subdue 4 late Core Formation cultivators without the use of Qi? Just with his Bloodline?!
The Red Bands were stunned. They didn't even know Aaron possessed a bloodline. However when thought of how we was able to stop the Mirage Boa when it attacked Jasmine it dawned on them that had already witnessed it!
Jasmine was the most surprised of the 4, she had a thorough understanding of Bloodlines and their grades. She also had a vague feeling that 4 people wasn't the limit of Aaron's ability. For a bloodlines to allow the user so much power without showing any Qi fluctuations meant one thing!
Platinum! His Bloodline was at the least low grade Platinum!
This realization hadn't only occurred to her, a few of the more well educated and traveled observers came to the same conclusion. One in particular, a woman wearing a green cloak with a hood that masked her face shuddered after reaching this conclusion.
'A platinum grade bloodline has appeared in the kingdom and from his clothing he appeared to be a Noble from another land! I must inform the Capital!'
However instead of leaving immediately she continued to watch, trying to glean as much information as possible before making her report.
Aaron was unaware of any of this, he simply continued to play with Marvin and the rest until he felt bored.
"Alright, time to end this", he said out loud
When the 4 men heard him they shuddered. They had been dancing the whole time and simply had no way to stop it. When Violet and Rose heard this the started pleading to Aaron.
"Please show mercy little brother! We were wrong, please don't kill them!" Both of them begged as the fell to their knees. Even though the group was made up off nothing but criminals who would steal from and injure others without a second thought, they had been together for over 10 years. It would be a lie to say they could simply stand by and watch their teammates get killed.
"Kill them? Why would I kill them? Do you take me for a butcher?", Aaron questioned them, Even though they had wanted to rob him and Marvin even wanted disfigure him he never felt any hatred towards them. He never worried about retaliation because he would make them understand that it was in their best interest to not provoke him.
Hearing his words both women lifted the heads to thank him but before they could Aaron cut them off.
"However, this doesn't mean that they wont be punished", he said while staring at Marvin. Slowly he started moving his fingers again.
'He looks like a puppeteer", Veronica who had been watching his fingers thought to herself. She had been completely won over. Strong and handsome, she had to have him!
Marvin watched in horror as his own body started moving towards Aaron one step at a time.
"Argh! Bastard release me or I'll kill you!" He roared, however in his heart was fear. When he heard Aaron mention this was his bloodline he was one of the few who realized what that meant but it was to late for regret!
"Even now you still bark.", Aaron sighed. He couldn't understand people like this. In this situation staying quiet is the best option.
Soon enough Marvin was standing in front of Aaron. It was quite the sight considering he was at least 6'2 while Aaron stood at 5'7. Yet one could only see confidence exuding from Aaron while Marvin's face showed nothing but anger and fear.
"Which pose should I put you in. Decisions decisions", Aaron mumbled to himself. He was planning on freezing them, he figured he could just freeze the surface of their bodies from the neck down; this way they wouldn't die since they were cultivators so they wouldn't die so easily. Except,just because it was on the surface didn't mean they would escape injury.
"Ah, I got it! Hehehe", Aaron smirked to himself. Marvin seeing this smile felt as if he was looking a the devil.
Aaron began to move his fingers again and Marvin quickly found his body moving on its own. He was forced to one knee and soon enough both his arms were spread out eagle while pointing at the ground.
"Hahahahaha" Aaron starting laughing wildly. The pose he had made Marvin take was Captain Ginyu's classic pose.
Those around him simply couldn't understand why he would make Marvin take such a pose. Was it to humiliate him? Even The Red Bands were confused. However, they had heard Aaron say he wouldn't kill them so they weren't worried.
"Alright lets end this"
Aaron placed his hand on Marvin's shoulder and released his abilities. Everyone suddenly felt the air temperature drop! What the saw next stunned them. The left side of Aaron's body was starting to frost over soon after a cold white mist that began to rise from his body.
"Ice time"
Before anyone could react they saw something inconceivable. Marvin's enter body from the neck down had been frozen solid. It hadn't even taken a second!
"Arghhh!" Marvin screamed.
Pain! Having the top layer of his skin frozen had caused him to feel pain he had never experienced before. However before he could keep screaming his mouth was frozen shut!
"You're far to loud. Don't worry though, you can still breath out your nose.",Aaron said casually.
He hadn't realize that everyone around him had their eyes bulging! Especially the Red Bands!
Elemental attack! Qi emission!
This was the sure tell sign of an Earth Realm Cultivator, Imbuing their Qi with elemental effects and releasing it from their body! Not only that, he had used an Ice based attack! That was one of the four uncommon elements only 1 in a million could posses such an affinity.
A few spectators were beyond shocked, they were mortified. There was 3 reasons for this, the first being that they could feel the cold even from 30 ft away the second being how quickly he had frozen Marvin. To be able to generate such cold Qi so quickly meant one thing! His cultivation skill must have been very high grade. They dared not imagine but it could be no less than Peak Gold maybe even Platinum!
'Where did this freak come from?!' the screamed in their hearts.
The third reason instilled fear into their hearts, even now there wasn't the slightest fluctuation of Qi. This was impossible! None could make sense of it, all they could do was attribute it to some tool or his Cultivation Skill in order to keep their sanity.
'I must report this to his Majesty Immediately! A 14 or 15 year old Earth realm cultivator with Rare Ice affinity, High grade Gold possibly Platinum cultivation skill and a Platinum Grade Bloodline! This is Inconceivable!'
The cloaked woman no longer delayed, she immediately left towards the city. She had to send this information to the Capital!
Aaron continued to freeze the remaining 3 in altering Ginyu force posses. Not realizing the shock he had brought and the storm that would ensue. Stepping back he looked at his work.
"Marvelous, all of you are capturing the essence of the Ginyu force, you should be proud. Its a shame though, if only you had one more member he could pose like Burter", he said while staring at his master piece. The 4 men in front of him all of them had been frozen from the neck down as well as having their mouths frozen shut. All of them were striking different Ginyu poses!
The 4 men stared at Aaron in horror, what kind of monster did they provoke?! The 3 that followed Marvin cursed him for targeting this freak! Forgetting that their own greed is what put them in this situation.
"They'll be like this for about 2 hours", Aaron said while facing Violet and Rose. They had already fallen to their knees and didn't dare to even look up. This was an Earth realm cultivator! They had reached the same conclusion as the others after seeing the Ice. They dared not resist.
"Thank you for showing mercy" the said in unison.
Staring at his master piece one last time Aaron smiled in satisfaction. Turning around he headed for The Red Bands. Who were staring at him as if they had met him for the first time
Laughing to himself he ignored their stares
"Hahaha Did you enjoy the show?"
