Chapter [205] What A Situation.

"wooh...are you guys always this busy?"

Elijah rested on a seat as he asked, taking off his ap.r.o.n.

"Yeah, It's been like that ever since your sister went to University and your brother...is busy with his own stuff. Anyways, How about you? Are you okay? I was worried to death when I heard-"

"Im okay mom."

Elijah interrupted his mother before she could complete her sentence.

"Which uni did Sis go to and what is Eric doing?"

"She went to Silkin University in the capital, And Eric...''

"Is out there killing himself!"

Elijah's father Mike yelled from inside the kitchen.

"Huh?"

"Dear!"

"Oh come on Maria! You know what he's doing so don't try to hide it from Elijah!"

Mike seemed enraged as he stepped out of the kitchen, Putting his App.r.o.n away.

"I'll be awakened and be able to walk again! I'm not doing anything dangerous he says but it's all bullc.r.a.p!"

His father rambled on and on as he sat opposite Elijah, bringing out a bucket of fried chicken.

"Is he doing Dungeon Diving?"

Elijah asked, getting an inkling of what his brother was doing.

"'What else? He isn't awakened and hires idiots to protect him so he can 'awaken.'"

....

Elijah quietly ate a piece of fried chicken, while looking at his mother who had put her hands on her face...sighing quietly.

"Isn't that Illegal? Does the a.s.sociation branch here do nothing about it?"

Elijah asked, and his father answered.

"a.s.sociation branch? Those f.u.c.kers there have been bribed, all they do is sit on their d.a.m.n a.s.ses!"

"..."

Elijah listened to his father's rant quietly.

"And to top it all off, One of the three big guilds, Twilight is planning to set up a branch here, everything going to s.h.i.+t in this town."

"Twilight?"

Elijah said, remembering the name.

"Yeah, I can't do anything if they send a top ranker to deal with us, those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are probably trying to ally with Tiger and make more money."

"That's not it...probably."

Elijah said, and His father questioned him.

"What you mean not it? Those leeches will burn Aror down."

"No, they won't."

"And how are you so sure?"

"Reputation."

Elijah said one word which made his parents go quiet.

"The top ten guilds, especially the top three, have a reputation to keep. They would go to any lengths to protect the image they have. Twilight won't be able to cover this up, because their enemies are greater than whatever the top guild here has. Plus, they have the Wellington family supporting them, they aren't lacking money at all..."

He said, and then ate his remaining chicken in delight.

"When did you get so smart?"

His father questioned, to which Elijah replied with a slight s.h.i.+ver in his voice.

"Serena drilled a lot of stuff in my head...Anyhow, how is Eric?"

"Dead."

His father said, which made Elijah pause.

"dear!"

His wife, Maria scolded him so he finally said.

"Dead to me anyways."

..."Phew..."

Elijah sighed in relief.

"I'll deal with...Eric."

In this world, There were two ways to awaken, one was an artificial awakening and the other was Natural Awakening in which mana would acc.u.mulate in the body over one's life to awaken them. Elijah, His father, and multiple talented people awakened through this method.

Artificial awakening, on the other hand, involved going into places with high Mana density, like dungeons, and forcibly using items to awaken oneself. This process was extremely dangerous, Mana could rush inside the vessel too quickly and could explode it into a gory mess. Although there was a safer way to perform this which large guilds used on their heirs.

"Don't bother, he tries to come here again and I'll personally break all of his bones."

"That's enough Mike!"

His father finally quietened down when his mother intervened.

"Anyways, how is Sis?"

Elijah asked, to which his mother excitedly said.

"She got accepted into THE Silkon university at the Capitol! You can't even fathom how much she brags about you being the second-ranked in s.h.i.+eld. She did say that she would also come during this time...although she has run late. Speaking about the second rank...Who is the guy at the first rank in s.h.i.+eld?"

Upon His mother's question, Elijah said.

"His name is Alan Peccator, and he's a member of Twilight."

"Hmmph...he probably got that position with money."

"That's not true."

Elijah denied his father's statement.

"He's strong, insanely strong. I once challenged him to a duel and he beat me in a second. He also took down a B-rank monster despite being C-ranked."

"That's impossible."

His father said, refusing to believe what Elijah said.

"Well, it is dad..."

Seeing the seriousness on his son's face, Mike went deep into thought.

To him, who was a B rank Awakened, he knew how hard it was to take down a monster above his rank.

"Anyways, how is your school life going? Although there were incidents, I hope the relations.h.i.+p between you and Serena didn't go wrong."

"Mom! there isn't anything between us."

"Yes, Yes Dear."

"Hahaha!"

His father laughed whilst his mother replied sarcastically.

"Life is good, I made friends and got good grades. and what happened didn't really matter to me anyways."

Elijah said, lying about the last part.

He was still shaken about it, and the weird dream he was getting didn't help him at all.

"She's the daughter of the a.s.sociation head, Don't miss out on her!"

His father said...and Elijah helplessly sighed.

*sigh...*

He was about to complain, but then he remembered something.

"Anyways...maybe some of them will come here."

"What do you mean?"

"I gave them all 50% off coupons."

"YOU DID WHAT!? THOSE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN ONLY TO THE RICH SO THEY COME BACK AGAIN!"

"They are all extremely rich!"

"Then that's good."

His father immediately calmed down when he heard they were rich. Prompting Elijah to say.

"Money-hungry man."

"Hey, Im your old man."

"Old money-hungry man."

And just when Mike was about to rebuke...Their phones beeped.

*WARNING! A DUNGEON BREAK HAS HAPPENED NEARBY, SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY.*

And the next Maria knew, Both Elijah and Mike were gone.

****

"Are you f.u.c.king kidding me?"

Kazikato said as he saw monsters all around the place and people running away.

"The one day we arrive? This happens?"

Kazikato questioned.

*RAWR!*

A ma.s.sive blue snake covered in ice spikes rushed towards them as they heard various different monsters

The people ran, some were eaten by the monsters and killed in gruesome ways all around.

Alan stood there motionlessly. There was nothing for him to do...he felt annoyed by this occurrence.

Kazikato was about to transform from Instinct...but was stopped by Alan.

"Don't."

Kazikato stopped and then took out his Scythe.

The snake as large as houses rushed towards them.

*HISSS*

And then, as it got near. Kazikato swung down his Scythe.

And Slashed the entire monster in half.

The crescent slash of Death Mana cleaved the snake's body in half, and Kazikato left to take care of the other monsters.

Alan just stood there...irritated.

"f.u.c.king h.e.l.l, I wanted to try some fried chicken. Now I'm not in the mood...."

He wanted to try chicken...he was tired..he was exhausted and this s.h.i.+t happened.

And pairing the headaches he got, his mood was terrible.

He watched Kazikato take care of the monsters as he continuously got more and more annoyed.

This wasn't fun...His life wasn't fun.

He was tired of it...He had always been paired with either opponents that were too strong or too weak...He didn't derive any amus.e.m.e.nt from that.

He was angry...his anger could pierce the heavens themselves.

And then, from the corner of his eyes, he saw a Woman with bright Orange hair that had a rebar stuck in her stomach as she pleaded for help.

"Help....please."

She cried for help...And Alan moved towards her.

She was quite beautiful, with a Face and body that many men would drool over...she possessed it.

But Of course... Alan, who had the fortune of being the Bodyguard of Sabrina, had developed some sort of unique resistance to beautiful women...a resistance that succeeded on everyone but Sabrina and her Mother.

He calmly walked towards her and took out the rebar stuck in her stomach.

Blood gushed out as the woman screamed.

"Quiet."

Alan said as he moved his hands around the wound.

His hands became covered in a golden flame and healed the woman's wounds.

He then, as if he wasn't aware of the situation calmly picked up the suitcase the woman had dropped.

" You dropped this ma'am."

He said calmly. And the woman watched in Bewilderment., feeling calm unlike her previous trembling self.

"WATCH OUT!"

Suddenly a monster appeared behind Alan, a crimson tiger that bit down on Alan.

It was then turned into a gory, beautiful flower of b.l.o.o.d.y ice, and Alan sighed.

"f.u.c.ker ruined my s.h.i.+rt."

He said, his upper body now bare because of the corrosive Saliva of the Tiger.

He saw more monsters rus.h.i.+ng towards him...and his eyes glowed a teal hue.

And then, a mysterious wave of power followed his words, emerging from his eyes....And he calmly Said.

"Die."

And then the monsters died.
