Chapter 27: When Seunghyuk Goes Berserk (I)

"So...I'll make sure my fellow Nighthowlers won't interfere, because I want you to feel what Jisung had felt myself, like how you were having your supoosed fun with him just now," Seunghyuk said terrifyingly and allowed the five Nighthowlers to stand down while he continued, "To be honest, I'm pretty sure no one would say anything even if I took your life here now. Don't believe me? How about you try me?"

The whole arena was dead silent, and it should be. Everyone watched as one was about to be bitten half to death due to their own cheers, and now someone with high commanding status suddenly swooped in and fought in place for the one that was cheered to be finished off. Simply stating, the audience members are silent with fright that they are going to suffer the wrath of the masked man, which happens to be Seunghyuk.

"I...I...I don't care who the hell you are! You can't just come up here and..." The Conqueror tried to speak back against Seunghyuk, but his once strong and full voice turned to a weak and stammering one, lacking of any power or persuasion, "I...I'll still beat you down! You must be some...some rich boy with connections! Yes, that must be it! Rich with money and lacking of actual, raw power!"

At the end, the Conqueror seemed to persuade himself, and only himself, that Seunghyuk was just a powerless fly with some human connections standing in his way, thinking he would be able to just swat Seunghyuk away with his hands easily. Seunghyuk did not give two hoots about the Conqueror's laughable attempts at trying to convince himself, but took the time the Conqueror spoke to analyse the skills the Conqueror had.

"Compared to me, you're mere nothing," Seunghyuk provoked the Conqueror openly, and it was not with sheer confidence, but one with the strong intention to absolutely teach the Conqueror a lifelong lesson he'd remember till he lies on his deathbed, "Even with your strengthening vial, your ingenuine power will fall before real strength."

"HAH! The bullshit you're spewing right now is absolutely laughable!" The Conqueror shouted back, suddenly full of confidence, totally different for how he was seconds ago as he continued on mocking Seunghyuk, "Hey, you think I'm a pushover, huh? You're just some lil' boy with a lil' more money than usual. Who are you trying to scare away?"

The once quiet audience started to get convinced by the Conqueror's many attempts at provoking Seunghyuk, and slowly started to get immersed in their made up world of short-lasting confidence and excitement that would slowly be broken into pieces right after. However, none of them knew what would happen, and like the powerful bystanders they are, they continued to fan the flames.

Seunghyuk of course knew that his stats were much lower than that of the Conqueror's, but he was hoping that by using the Short-Fused Explosion and the nature of his own stats by being stronger than the stats others have, he would be able to have a good chance at overpowering the Conqueror.

"Come on, less talk and more work," Seunghyuk was done processing everything internally and immediately worked on angering the Conqueror, making him rush forward towards Seunghyuk like a maddened bull seeing red, "When I said more work, I do not mean useless work like this."

Seunghyuk immediately used his Short-Fused Explosion skill to raise his stats by 5 overall and hopped to the side, dodging the Conqueror's mad charging attack.

"Conqueror's Name: Choi Seunghyuk (Male) (Leader of Legendclad)

Conqueror's Level: 4

Strength: 22 (raised by 5)

Agility: 22 (raised by 5)

Defense: 22 (raised by 5)

Snake Of Ophiuchus (1 out of 5 stars)

Dancing With Fire (3 out of 5 stars)

Nighthowling (0 out of 5 stars)

Charm (0 out of 5 stars)"

Seunghyuk's current stats are still one or two away from the Conqueror's stats, but Seunghyuk hoped that his special stat nature would kick in here.

"Hey, I said do something useful," Seunghyuk mocked again, trying to pull up the Conqueror's rage meter, so that with all that rage in the Conqueror's brain, he would start to act irrationally without thinking, that would give Seunghyuk more of an edge in the battle, "Let me show you an example of what something useful is..."

Seunghyuk conjured the same two fireballs in both his palms and slammed them together into one, willing the fire shape into a sharp one, then splitting the fire into many needle-like burning spikes, and sent the dozens of spikes towards the enraged Conqueror.

"Hah! You're playing my field of spikes? Stop being an asshole and mocking me!" The Conqueror shouted out furiously, like a volcano erupting as he immediately retaliated by raising spikes all over the arena stage, and tried to take the attack of the flaming needles, thinking it would not hurt much, just like when he was fighting Jisung, but he was dead wrong, "AHHH! What's this? You're just a weak fly!"

"That's what you thought, and magically, it seemed to convince your pitiful self," Seunghyuk kept shifting quickly around the arena stage, avoiding the spike attacks and immediately formed circular sawblades with his fire and spun them dangerously forward towards the Conqueror, "Here's more examples of efficient and useful work."

The Conqueror seemed to learn his lesson and did not try to take the attacks head on, but instead used his skill Mega Palm to summon a huge palm to act as his shield, absorbing the fire attacks from Seunghyuk. The palm continued to push forward rapidly as it nears in on Seunghyuk, but Seunghyuk stayed still with a face of absolute calmness.

"That's not it, think harder and work harder," Seunghyuk summoned his Snake of Ophiuchus which instantly rolled past the humongous palm and bit the Conqueror in his shoulder, causing him the palm attack to cancel off instantaneously, "Why did the palm disappear? Oh, because it's a controlled attack, right?"

The Conqueror was deeply angered at this point in time, uprooting spikes and spikes from under the arena ground randomly as he tried to get a hit on Seunghyuk, but Seunghyuk merely used his newly-earned skill of Charm to confuse the Conqueror, making him suddenly stop his flurry of attacks.

"I didn't think this skill would work on the same gender..." Seunghyuk stated and immediately built up a tower of fire, toppling it down as it fell painfully on the Conqueror, pressing him down as the burning pain from the flame made the Conqueror regain his consciousness from being charmed by Seunghyuk.

The Conqueror stood up and shouted loudly, evidently, he was angered to a point that he lost all rationality and rushed in with the adrenaline rush, so the Conqueror was temporarily not sensitive to pain.

"YOU'LL PAY!! PAY!! PAY!!" The Conqueror slapped the Snake Of Ophiuchus away and sustained poison damage, but that did not stop him from dashing towards Seunghyuk, "YOU AND YOUR DAMN TRICKS!"

Seunghyuk hurled balls and balls of fire towards the hulking bull of a Conqueror, but it seemed to do nothing to stop the animal from its rampage. Within just a second, the Conqueror used Body Drill and sent Seunghyuk flying backwards with the momentum.

"Argh...Damn it..." Seunghyuk quickly used Charm again, which succeeded in stunning the furious Conqueror in his movements, leaving him in a daze, so Seunghyuk rapidly willed his arms to move and controlled the Snake Of Ophiuchus to whack the Conqueror with its tail, which dealed massive poison damage to the Conqueror, but it also knocked the Conqueror awake, "Damn it...I really have to increase the mastery on Charm..."

The Conqueror roared loudly, and he ceased to speak the human tongue, but went with only shouts and roars of anger to show how massively furious he was. The audience was rowdy as they shouted for the Conqueror to torture me to the brink of death, and the Conqueror immediately sent a huge fist across Seunghyuk's face, slapping the mask out of Seunghyuk.

"So it's you...ITS YOU! YOU'RE THAT BRAT'S FRIEND!" The Conqueror angrily pointed at Jisung and Seunghyuk frowned, looking at the Nighthowler King's Mask sliding away from him as he called back, "Yeah, it's me, and so? You're still the same."
