Chapter 53: So? Where is it?
[Notify! Utilizing ‘Ember Core’ Devil Fangs!]
With a black flash that was practically invisible to the bare sight, the earring on Khal’s right ear moved and flew into his hand.
*Swish!*
In no time at all, a black crystal weapon that represented a hybrid weapon between a dagger and a shortsword appeared, causing the surrounding to explode with a huge uproar.
“He has a weapon associated Talent? But what is that weapon in the first place? It looks so ugly!”
“Ugly? Your mother is ugly! That weapon looks exceptionally glamorous let alone its powerful aura!”
Hearing as people spiritedly talked around them, Liza, Nate, Alde, and Andre stared at the weapon in Khal’s hand with curious gazes and started to examine it.
However, not even a second later as they did, a loud sound appeared from somewhere the spectators, turning everyone’s gaze at Khal’s body.
“But hey, why is that I still can’t feel his Cultivation Stage? He has no presence at all!”
“…”
When people started to realize that Khal truly had no cultivation presence at all even after summoning a weapon, the surprised whispers changed into confused and pondering murmurs.
Jane and Scarlett on top of the arena on the other hand didn’t look confused nor did start to ponder, but instead, looked terrifyingly wooden that it was almost scary. Both women knew that what Khal had in his hand was neither a normal weapon nor his Talent, but something that not even they knew about. Even Raffin and Logan on the side glared at the weapon in Khal’s hand like something they have never seen before.
“Just what is that?” wonder surfaced onto Logan’s face, trying to find out the origin of that weapon.
Naturally, he knew that the dagger in Khal’s hold was exceptionally similar to the one he used back then, but that weapon was destroyed. That’s why seeing the same weapon in Khal’s made Logan not only surprised, but confused.
“Strange. That weapon has the exact same presence… Wait, don’t tell me!” widened his eyes Logan, after the sudden realization that the weapon in Khal’s hand was, in fact, the very one thing that helped Khal kill the Razor Hound!
“But how?” was the only question currently in Logan’s head, but soon a gentle light flashed in his eyes and a smile emerged onto his face.
“Interesting.”
“Oh? So you have Talent related to weapons? Then what?” said proudly Angor and took up an attacking posture where his body was slightly looking to the side and his left leg and hand were on the front.
“Before absolute power, no matter what Talent you have, the only thing that awaits you is defeat!”
Khal hearing this didn’t look irritated nor mad at all, but instead closed his eyes and smiled gently.
“Let’s hope you will say the exact same thing after this battle ends!”
Instantly as those words sounded, Khal opened his eyes wide, revealing a pair of sky blue eyes to everyone present.
“!?”
“Huuuh??!” Scarlet who always looked and acted undisturbed all this time, now was unable to hold back her shock and looked at Khal like a ghost. This guys, who she thought was nothing more but trash, now shocked her to utter speechlessness!
Jane was the same, but because she had a stronger personality than Scarlett she was able to control her behavior, but she too was unable to hide her shock. Deep in her calm eyes, if one looked closer they would be able to see a glint of awe and amazement.
However, not everyone could act as calm and collected as Jane, and this had been shown right away in the arena.
Every person in the coliseum screamed up with surprise and stared at Khal with dropped jaws and widened eyes. Their mouth was so wide open that even 2 huge eggs could have been placed into them without a problem!
“…”
On the other hand, Angor didn’t look shocked nor as cocky as he did previously, but now his attitude changed 180 degrees and showed unsound gravity.
At first, when he saw that Khal’s Talent was a weapon, he was extremely happy, because those with such Talent were the perfect enemies for him. It was not a lie to say he was the nemesis to all Talent associated Cultivators.
But now things were different. The very instant as Khal glared at him with his eyes, Angor felt indescribable tension. Looking at those sky blue eyes with the crimson slit in their middle, Angor felt that no matter what he will try, he won’t be able to touch Khal.
That feeling alone made him know, that even though Khal was a Stage below him, he needed to act with seriousness.
“…”
As Logan noticed that both sides were finally ready, raised his hand and spoke, “Well then, let’s the fight for the V.I.P key’s right begin! Both sides remember well, except killing, everything is allowed. Now then, get ready!”
Instantly as that sounded, a key with a blinding light appeared above the sky, showing everyone present that the fight now will truly begin.
Seeing the key above his head, Angor’s mouth slightly curved and said, “Well, even if you have so many secrets, I will still win!”
“Ready? Fight!”, shouted Logan, instantly commencing the battle.
*BOOM!*
At that very moment, as Logan’s voice sounded, Angor’s body vanished, and with a loud explosion appeared before Khal punching toward his chest.
“!?”
Everyone in the arena looked at this sight with widened eyes, hardly believing what they just saw. Like the very embodiment of God of swiftness, Angor moved and passed more than 100 meters in a single instant! His speed was inhuman!
“That guy is dead. There is no way to react to such speed!”
“Indeed. Maybe that kid acted arrogant a few moments ago, but he has the power to back it up. With such speed, I fear there is no one who can compete with him.”
Liza and Nate looked at this sight with worry, while Andre’s face showed no reaction at all. He sat motionlessly in one place like a rock, with a face that showed not the slightest of emotion.
On the other hand, Alde looked at this sight with a wicked expression. He looked so happy that he seemed almost like he was on cloud nine.
“Serves you right!” laughed Alde with an evil grin, but the next second his smile froze onto his face.
Just when Angor’s fist would have been smashed into Khal’s chest, the weapon in Khal’s hand moved and with a metallic sound opened wide.
*Clang!*
*BOOM!*
“!?”
Angor who looked arrogant all this time stiffened up instantly and watched as his fist was stopped by Khal’s weapon as easily as taking a breath.
“How?” thought Angor with shock and glanced up. Yet, the moment he did, what waited for him was a pair of ice-cold glare, looking down at him from behind the fan.
Seeing those eyes glaring at him, Angor felt a chill run down his spine and wanted to move, but before he had the chance Khal did.
*Swish!*
With the help of his fan, Khal pushed Angor’s arm high up into the air, resulting in his stomach being fully exposed, and with a powerful kick sent Angor’s body flying, making his body to crash into the platform with a loud ‘boom’.
“So? Where is that ‘absolute power’ you talked about?” asked Khal quietly, turning the whole place dead silent in an instant.
