Chapter 61: Eyes
"Sion you're spacing out again" Was he? He hadn't even noticed. He'd been doing that a lot recently, was it because of how fast he was growing? Maybe it hadn't caught up with him yet?
"Sorry I just-" stopping mid sentence he felt it- someone above was blatantly staring at him. And it wasn't a potential offer being made, not that he cared for the Gods, demons and whatnot offers to be their prodigies. Something about being under someone didn't seem to sit well with him.
In the past all he ever wanted was a second gender and a chance to be in one of the top guilds… it was honestly weird how quickly that changed. A flash back of his mothers despair as she whack him across the face and yelled at him. Only for his Uncle to intervene and tell his mother that he was just a boy.
Sadness but overall anger gripped him at those memories as he looked up and glared directly at the God Of Time? 'Why is he watching me?'
"A friend of yours?" Deblis asked jokingly as Sion simply looked away.
"He's sent me a few messages but I mostly block all of them…" Sion hesitantly said as Deblis looked up only to grin and give the rude finger as God Of Time tsk'ed.
(Stupid fucken panda) Mumbled The God Of Time as the demon of Bribery overheard before looking down in the same area and snickering.
-
Before long Morrish Lin was the victor, although Sion wasn't paying attention as The God Of Time wouldn't let up his staring problem.
"Did you piss off a God recently?" Questioned Franes seeing the obvious staring. It wasn't hard to tell even if you couldn't see the full outline of a God, a notification would tell you for one and for two- "His eyes are practically burning holes through you" A God's or others eyes would glow and look down upon you. If a God, demon or more wanted too they will send a messenger that watches from afar. But considering that everyone was in the general area. The God Of Time simple stared.
'Why me…?' Sion sighed as the next few fights went on with no issues and his CC count was rising rapidly.
- Be careful -
'huh?' Did he hear wrong? Did the voice of the beast tell him to be careful? Looking around again he saw someone else watching him across the arena. 'What is it with people staring at me today!?' But this individual Sion couldn't see their features, which was odd considering how good his eye sight was.
"Another friend of yours? You sure are popular" joked Deblis munching on some bamboo as Sion suddenly got an anxious feeling.
Suddenly in a single moment the area glitched and eyes from every direction were staring at him. Eyes upon eyes of the people in the crowd turned to look at him.
immediately Sion got up as everything seemed to be black and white as the eyes on the people all glowed white.
>> Host interference, please stand by <<
'What? Host interference!? What the fuck does that mean?'
"Ÿòū śęèm ḻöśṯ" In unison the crowd spoke as Sion's blood ran cold…
This wasn't a memory or something else, this was happening right now… even the beast had warned him, who was it? The Gods, demons and others couldn't interfere. So who was this that even the beast was wary of.
To hell with putting on a brave face he felt small right now, even Deblis and Franes were under their control. This was something more than a God or demon… something more than a constellation or species, more than a second gender, earth or world.
But he wanted to ask it questions, could he even fight something like this?
He hadn't even realised 02's babbling of his skills being used to fight the fear he was accumulating. He couldn't move.
"you said lost… What do you mean?" Why was it so hard to talk? He could have sworn the air was strangling him.
But just as that thing had appeared it vanished and everything was back to normal. Immediately looking to wear the cloaked individual was he saw nothing-
"Sion?" Without hesitation he swung a punch at Deblis and didn't hold back. The punch was vicious and violent as those around them were flung out miles from their seats and more. Franes even was sent flying into the marble of the arena. But Deblis had managed to hold on a bit, only being pushed back a good 70cm.
What had he just done? Why did he freak out, immediately looking up he saw the Gods, Demons and more salivating over his power as it leaked out and licked the air. A prodigy like that would give they high status.
"Sion what the fuck are you doing?" Franes was the first to come bearly able to walk, her clothes barely holding on and blood and maybe internal bleeding injuries present.
Deblis immediately got in between her and Sion, even he sported a bleeding mouth and patches of fur drenched in blood. Deblis was concerned now more than anything, Sion wasn't the type to suddenly lash out even if his emotions sometimes ran cold and his anger got the better of him.
There had to be more to it but Sion was in trouble. Big fucken trouble.
"well well, seems we have quite a spirit individual that can't wait their turn" the small demon that had been the one presenting suddenly appeared in front of them all in distaste for this sudden situation.
looking around, at least half the arena had been destroyed and probably more than half of the player immobilised. The demon cursed as he was in charge for running things smoothly and now it was ruined because of this- looking down at Sion he immediately swung a few pillars. Immediately the thick cylinder pillars shoved themselves through Sion's back and out his stomach. Immobilising him.
"Hang on!" Deblis shouted as the demon was already pissed and contorted to his larger size and screeched at Deblis. Franes instantly dropped as those around them even in pain and with heavy injuries shook violently. Fear inducement had just been used to silence them as Deblis fought tooth and nail to speak as he grabbed a dagger and shoved it into his thigh.
The sudden pain gave him some sanity back as he spoke again, this time carefully.
"He's a new player! Not a veteran, I'm his guidance and he shouldn't be punished with death for this." Deblis knew the rules of the arena more than anyone. If it wasn't your turn to fight, fighting outside of your match of a death match was forbidden even if it wasn't said. Another sick and twisted nature of those in power, they never tell you all the rules.
Sion was very well aware of this rule but he'd momentarily freaked and set off a chain reaction that he may not be spared from.
"Why should I not kill someone in clear violation of the rules" hissed the demon, his form over shadowing everyone as Deblis thought quickly.
"Because the Gods and demons and others among them have just witnessed a strong potential prodigy. Why would they waste such a prize?" He knew it was risky to say such a thing as the arena rules would still be in place for the Gods and demons. But there was a chance that a vote could be an impeachment of his wrong doing.
Sion in pain couldn't move, even though his auto healing skill was active the poles that had basically made him into a kabab must have had properties to stop abilities.
>> Host connection stabilised <<
>> Warning hostility nearby <<
>>…<<
All of 02's words weren't computing to him as he could only remember what had just happened.
'I seem lost?' Why was that the only thing said? What did that even mean?
"You want to hold a vote impeachment?" Laughing at Deblis, The Gods and more turned to each other whispering.
£ It would be such waste but that young man doesn't even respond to our messages or offers £ demoness of Dysphoria spoke with a silent hint of coy.
¢ You actually disgust me… ¢ spoke another knowing the demoness had a slight kink when it came to young men ignoring her.
* Even if the impeachment is done… what's the guarantee he'll choose one of us? *
X I say let him die, who lashes out like that? Immature at best. X Spoke another God as she sat on an orb drinking some tea.
# I have a proposition # Finally spoke God Of Mystery.
~ Oh the God Of mystery is here. All hail ~ sarcastically spoke the Demon of fortitude.
£ Well go on £ said the Demoness of Dysphoria.
# We build a tower and make him suffer through trails #
€ What the hell is the point of that? The towers will descend later on, you want to give this mortal his own tower? What the hell for? € side marked the God of Truth.
# For a chance at a war chip #
immediate silence was heard as the Gods and demons and those among them whispered and more.
{ Why him? There are plenty veterans on other earths and more that are far superior. Why use him as a war chip, did you forget we can only chose 8} hissed the Demon of Vengeance.
# He'll be the last War chip then. You all saw his power just now, even that veteran was pushed back and wounded considerably. Imagine what he could become with real guidance #
