BXBX NOVEL Chapter 132: Package?!
Chapter 132: Package?!
The lightning bolt crashed into both barriers causing the earth below Blake to shatter, forming a mini crater beneath him.
The barriers had managed to take most of the hit, but the impact of the lightning bolt left Blake sore and part of the lightning had managed to make its way through the cracks on the barrier connecting with Blake.
\'Fuck… meee!\'
Blake cursed as he spasmed from the electricity that surged through his entire body, but due to his inability to move, he looked perfectly fine on the outside.
[Your internal organs aren\'t in the best of conditions; you can\'t afford to take another hit…] The system alerted Blake after checking the amount of damage he had sustained.
The lightning bolt that struck him wasn\'t the natural one that only had a 10% chance of killing a human, this was one unconsciously empowered by the will of a demigod, giving it enough power to crack to the system\'s energy barrier that had been impregnable till now.
\'What if I activate lightning reinforcement?\' Blake asked after recovery from the shock.
(AN: get it? ;)
[You still won\'t survive… If my energy barrier was added to space freeze and lightning reinforcement it would have been enough, but the energy barrier will need a lot of time to recharge.]
The words of the system worsened his already bad mood, but just like the system said \'if there wasn\'t anything, he could do about the situation it was pointless worrying. So, he once again left things to fate.
\'Then let\'s hope that lightning doesn\'t strike a place twice.\' Blake said with a heavy and tired heart as he heightened his senses to defend against objects that may come his way.
Although the thunderbolt strike caught everyone\'s attention, none of them dared to lose focus because in such a chaotic environment one could die without knowing what killed them if they lost concentration, but the one thing they all knew was that Blake somehow managed to survive such a devastating attack.
After what looked like forever in the eyes of all those that were at the \'eye of the storm\', the thick dark clouds covering the sky began dissipating and the vicious wind wreaking havoc settled.
This was meant to be the part when they all let out a sigh of relief, but they all held their breaths instead and focused their senses on the sphere right above them. This was because the winner of the battle would determine the fate of both parties.
\'Let\'s see what fate has in stock for me…\' With a racing heart, Blake watched as the ethereal sphere slowly dissipated.
"That was disappointing…" A bored voice was heard when the sphere completely dissipated. It was the blond-haired demigod, Reeves!
\'Thank the heavens…\' Blake finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar figure of Reeves. \'That\'s odd… Is it me or is the person who just fought a battle that affected 2 dimensions meant to be looking so fresh?\'
Apart from the large hole in the heart area of his golden armor, demigod Reeves was perfectly fine. Not even a drop of sweat was on him nor was a string of hair out of place. It even looked as if his skin had gotten smoother.
(AN: Okay, so let\'s have some fun ;) Tell me what you think happened during the fight. Hint: Someone is known for his smooth skin and the abilities of the brown ring are still unknown and can be anything.)
The shock was the same for everyone that could see him. It seriously made them wonder if Sanders stood still and allowed himself to get killed, but the large hole on his chest and the catastrophe that occurred during the battle made them think otherwise.
"Back to you…" Demigod Reeves turned towards Mason who had long ago regained consciousness but was trapped on the floor by Reeves\' command.
"What happened to my uncle?!" Mason screamed with tears rolling down his cheeks when he wasn\'t able to sense his uncle\'s life force.
His uncle was more than a father figure to him. After his parents were assassinated at a young age, his uncle was the only relative in the Nystrom family that agreed to take him in. He treated him like his own son and gave him all he needed, both resources and mentorship.
(AN: list of things Mason needed as he grew up: lotions, beast cores, and more lotions… lol)
"I would have punished your insolence, but I will keep to my promise to your late uncle and spare you..." Reeves said with an indifferent tone. "As for the rest… Punishment for crossing me is, death!"
Immediately Reeves was done speaking, the mercenaries in the area burst into golden flames, but before they could even scream in pain, they had all turned to ashes.
"As for you 3…" Reeves turned to Blake\'s group and descended. "Thanks a lot for your help, I hereby declare the escort commission over and free you of your services. Your commission and the agreed violation fee will be sent to the association before dusk."
"The carriage driver will take you back to the association and I will be taking my leave." At this moment a similar carriage arrived at the area and demigod Reeves alongside Taliesin entered the carriage and left.
"I will be the one to you back…" The door of their carriage opened and their driver came out.
\'Oh… Didn\'t think of him all this while.\' The trio thought in unison.
"And please do not touch the package…" The carriage driver said as he mounted the horses
"Package?!" They blurted out in unison.
\'Then what was the reason for the mission?!\' They were beyond vexed by what they heard. They had risked their lives for an unknown object, but at the end of everything it turned out to be useless.
