Chapter 137 137. Warth Of Lord
In the beginning there was a struggle, pain, lots of pain, hurt, agony and all but then there was peace.
A comfortable peace, A peace telling him to give up, Let this darkness embrace him, urging him to sleep eternally here, Give up everything and stop his suffering, Just like that man.
A voice was ringing asking him, Did he not suffer enough? Did he not work enough? So why did he not get what he wanted? Why did his own comrade betray him? Why did his sister not wait for him? Why did she find another man?
Is there even a reason for his struggle? What\'s holding him back here? Nothing, So why not just go away and get his peace? Why did he not just accept the darkness as his light, His sister is not with him.
Yeah he should be gone, He should stop fighting, Maybe then his sister will notice him.
Jake\'s body temperature rapidly started dropping as he slowly closed his eyes.
*Swift*
Just as Jake was about to give up all and close his eyes permanently, A warmth suddenly came from his chest, heating his body which was about to drop below a critical level.
As that warmth appeared so a strange power also came up with it which directly headed towards his brain making it clear.
He quickly woke up from the daze and realised what he was about to do. He did not understand how he could even think of doing that, This thought was bathing him a lot.
Even though that strange power tried its best, It was not able to fully counter the spiritual attack of Alex\'s god-level singing.
If Alex was a little stronger then even if this power came out, It would not be able to stop what is inevitable, Jake still threw himself into darkness and fell into eternal sleep, At best this power could be able to buy some time before it happens.
But the protagonist\'s luck is there, So he avoids certain death by the skin of his teeth.
[Ding! Wrath Of The Lord artefact of Protagonist Jake used 70% of its power to prevent Jake from dying, It can\'t be used for a while now.]
[Ding! Protagonist lost one of its hole cards, - 5000 Luck of Protagonist.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting +5000 RP, +500 Luck and 70% power of the artefact "Wrath Of Lord."
(Note : It is stored in the system inventory.)]
Here Alex was happy hearing the system\'s voice ringing in his mind. He always thought of using his singing as an offensive method but situations never arose, But today he gets to use it.
He is also very excited about getting the artefact "Warth Of Lord" of Jakez Though this has that 70% lost power but it was still enough to seriously injure any S-Rank powerhouse.
He never thought that system was generous enough to actually give him back the lost power of it, He felt pity before knowing he lost a huge insurance card from Jake, There was even thought of beating Jake for wasting it.
But thankfully he gets it back. There are a lot of uses for this thing than just a simple offensive one, Which a barbarian like Jake never thought of finding out.
Alex was glad that Jake didn\'t as now he can ripe the harvest that the illigentment father of the Protagonists arranged for it.
He then took a look at the unconscious Jake with a sly smile on his face. Before a few minutes ago he was a little fearful of his power but now? Jake was worse than Nathan in strength.
With these two attacks simultaneously will make Jake weaker than a normal man, If it was someone else they are done for life but the protagonist at max be like this for a week or two.
This is a limit and time frame for Alex to quickly cut off other wings of Jake before finishing him off.
*Clap*
*Clap* *Clap*
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
Alex after dealing with Jake wanted to deal with the stupid woman, Who arranged this brain-dead plot but when he turned around he was greeted by a few claps which turned into a shower of claps.
"Wow, This is so breathtaking Alex."
"What a metaphor of life, What a great song and meaning of life."
"Yeah, I mean this song tells the whole journey of life, The pain and struggle of survival, Which gives us that sweet peace at the end."
"Hum, But why did this song feel like a dark self-harm one? As there is too much negativity in the song, Is the singer okay? Did he need help?"
"What are you talking about buddy? This song represents how meaningless our life or struggle is in this vast cosmos."
"But I thought it was a positive one, About how after struggle you get that finally peaceful release though few regrets but a lot of memories to carry on."
"...."
What Alex saw was that he was already surrounded by bystanders, Who were arguing and some even started fighting over the meaning of life.
Alex was very confused looking at them as he really did not have any meaning in the song, The only purpose of his song was to target Jake, Which he did, So he did not understand what these people were going on about.
He looked at Xiao Bai wanting to ask how the fuck these people come here? Didn\'t he ask her to seal off the space before?
"..."
He asked her through telepathy, But all he got in return was her unblinking icy blue eyes staring at him with stars in her eyes.
Well, seeing her like this he got his answer. His song also affected her even as S-Rank and made her lose control over the seal breaking it.
He should have taken precautions about it, But now he has to deal with these people first which is quite a headache. He really hates crowds.
[Ding! Hosts get the affection of large groups of the opposite sex...
+100,000 RP is received.]
"....Well Crowds are not that bad either."
He took his words back when he heard the voice of the system, Then retracted his attention from Jake, Who was ignored by everyone, All thanks to his song and put it on the man, Who got his pocket stolen.
\'Did he not get paid enough? Act you, bastard!! I have to move to plot forward.\'
Alex was waiting for that man to come running to her thanking him, The same usual plot but to his horror, that man too was standing there looking at him unblinkingly, Not following his act at all.
If that man did not act then how did he complete his act and go enjoy his rare free time? He needs to enjoy as much time as he can before these two monsters of the mother and daughter duo come out of their shock.
\'Wait? It\'s not only him but others also were not moving at all, What is happening?\'
Alex wanted to curse that man for his poor acting ethic and wanted to teach him one or two principles of acting but then he noticed that it was suddenly strongly quieted down all around him.
He waited for people to swarm him up but that too did not happen. He looked up and gazed all around just to find that everyone except Xiao Bai and Natasha was stuck in their position.
But Natasha does sit back in her driving seat, laying her head on the steering wheel and pretending to be also affected like others as she rather sleep than bother with anything else.
Alex also ignored her but put this thing down in note, he will ask Alia to take care of her later.
Right now, he quickly looks down at his wrist to check his watch and finds out that even the hands of his wristwatch had stopped, not only that, He looked up just to find that even birds were frozen mid-air, Which indicates that someone had used a time-related superpower here.
Seeing this, Alex was praying that the person who did to be a woman, He wanted this broken superpower very badly, As it will make his life too easy.
After all, The time-related superpower is even rarer than elemental superpowers and also quite powerful and has many auxiliary values.
And this is also a very high-grade superpower at least on the S-Rank one as this is a domain of time, Just like his domain of fire.
So Alex looked all around before fixing his gaze on the car "hiding" at the end of the alley. He was sure the one who did this was inside that car.
And he was right. As he was looking at the car, Its door opened and a very charming woman with a plump figure came out of the car.
Alex took a look at her and figured out that her beauty on paper was close to Alia but in reality, she was much more attractive and possessed an exaggerated figure.
To understand more easily, She looks like the highlighted heroine in manhwas, So that pretty much said how hot and beautiful this woman was.
While Alex was looking at her, She was in her tall heels walking toward Alex and standing in front of him before she spoke.
"Quite a good song you got there Alex Winchester, Mind talking to me- Ahhh!! Get off me you feral beast."
(A/N : We all know that level of beauty, right?
Like always thank you for reading and have a good day )
