Ch. 14: A Girl's Rage

After the party was over, Kraiven had thought of asking one of the girl disciples of Artendo to go out with him. But his dream shattered to pieces when he realised that they had left even before the party ended. Maybe it was because Chlevern refused to be Artendo's disciple, so he was angry or something. But nevermind that.

Chlevern, Kingspeare, Zecharia and Kraiven were leaving the Ballroom of Supremes. They were walking towards where their ride was.

"My dream... My dream of going out with one of those beautiful girls has been broken down to pieces. Why does fate have to be so cruel?", said Kraiven who was on the verge of crying.

Chlevern just looked at him with a sweat-dropping and assuring look. He did not care about Kraiven's talk about his fate as he was not bound by his fate anymore.

He remembered Kingspeare telling him that his fate cannot be changed, but it can surely be rewritten and the training which Kingspeare gave Chlevern to be his successor was kind of rewriting Chlevern's fate.

"Don't worry brother, I am sure you will find someone beautiful someday.", said Chlevern trying desperately to calm Kraiven down.

Seeing Kraiven, it was giving him Nick's vibes. He was so much like Nick. That being said, Chlevern had been missing Nick a little now. He had spent almost all of his life with Nick as he was his best friend.

'Haha don't worry Nick, I am going to return soon. So till then wait for me.', thought Chlevern, smiling a little.

*Meanwhile on Earth*

"ACHOO~~~~". Nick sneezed.

'Someone is thinking about me, I but who?', thought Nick, sitting inside his room.

*Timeskip*

Chlevern was training with Kingspeare again the next day. He was too focused on his training that not even Kingspeare wanted to disturb him. Chlevern was trying hard to focus on exercise as much as possible, so that he could shake off the thought of Artendo asking him to be his disciple.

"I think you know what kind of man, Artendo Sadistor is now?", asked Kingspeare suddenly, out of the blue.

"Huh?!", Chlevern expressed, with a little shocked expression.

"I mean, yes, I think I know....", said Chlevern replying to Kingspeare.

"He has been like that for a while now. He likes strong disciples and so he has been luring my disciples to become his disciples, for a long time now.", said Kingspeare.

"Why is he doing such a thing? Isn't it wrong to steal someone else's disciple?", asked Chlevern.

"For Demons, they don't care about wrong or right. He had been like that since I had trained my first disciple. My first disciple was a weak human, whom I trained and made the strongest Warrior out of. Since then, he lured my strong disciples and persuaded them to be his disciples. You may know Aphrodite, The Goddess of Lust and Love. She was once my disciple. She too had been lured by Artendo, but she refused to go with him. But her sister, The current Queen of Succubi, Lilith was lured by Artendo and he made her a demon.", said Kingspeare.

"So that's why he tried to lure me..... Wait, does he know that I am going to be your successor!?", exclaimed Chlevern.

"Maybe not, if he knew, he would've had a full force battle with you to see your worth, where I am sure you would've died, at your current level.", said Kingspeare.

"Okay", said Chlevern.

Suddenly, Juvium, Kingspeare's messenger arrived at the training area with a message.

"My Lord, sorry for disturbance but we have a message for Lord Chlevern.", said Juvium.

"Please tell", said Chlevern.

"It is a message from one of the disciples of Artendo Sadistor, her name is Cressida De'Lava. She requests to fight Lord Chlevern at the Field of Battles.", said Juvium.

"Isn't she the one whom we met yesterday at the party?", asked Kingspeare.

"Yes, she was the first disciple to introduce herself. But why does she want to fight me?", thought Chlevern, aloud.

"I think Artendo got a hint that you are going to be my successor.", said Kingspeare.

"What?!", Chlevern said shocked.

"I still don't know, if he knew that you are my going-to-be successor, he would've personally come to fight you. Why did he send his disciple?", expressed Kingspeare.

"Is that so, let's see. Should I accept the fight?", asked Chlevern.

"I think this can prove to be a good practice against strong opponents, so you should.", said Kingspeare.

"Okay", says Chlevern and turns towards Juvium,

"Mr. Juvium please go and tell her that I accept her proposal to fight.", he said.

"Yes Young Master.", said Juvium bowing down and he left.

*Timeskip*

It was the time for Chlevern to fight Cressida, at the Field of Battles. Both of them were in front of each other with Kingspeare watching. Kingspeare wondered why Artendo did not come but he couldn't care less.

"Aren't you Chlevern Nollan, Mr. Kingspeare Fredinanch's disciple? I think you know we are here to fight.", said Cressida, cold-hearted as ever.

"Yes, and you may be Cressida De'Lava, Mr. Artendo Sadistor's disciple. Yes I know that Mr. Artendo has sent you to test me.", said Chlevern.

"Master has nothing to do with my fight with you. He does not know that I am here to fight you.", said Cressida.

"What? Then why do you want to fight me all of a sudden?", asked Chlevern.

"I feel you are strong, so I cannot contain myself from fighting when I meet strong people.", said Cressida.

She was definitely lying about her reason to fight Chlevern. She did not have any urge to fight. Even if the opponent was too strong, she did not accept to fight him/her unless she was triggered by him/her. She just fought Chlevern to know what kind of man he was.

"So let the fight begin, you can take the first move.", said Cressida.

"Okay", said Chlevern approaching Cressida.

'You don't have to be too hard, you don't have to hurt her.', thought Chlevern while approaching her.

He was about to punch her in the face when she caught his wrist and said, "Too slow", she then pushed his wrist making him rebound.

'The fuck?! how is she so strong?', thought Chlevern.

He was going to refrain himself when he sensed an attack coming from his right. He quickly blocked it but the impact was too strong that he was drifted backwards.

"Impressive, not many people are able to block my attacks.", Cressida said plainly.

Chlevern was in pain. His arm fell like it broke ten times over. It was not broken but the pain in his arm was intense.

'This is the power of the strongest disciple of Dark Dungeon of Hell Clan!!!?', thought Chlevern shocked.

He was no match for her. She had been training with Artendo for a century and if she were to be classified in terms of Magic Power, she would already be on Super Mana stage.

Chlevern on the other hand, was just trained for 3 days, and over that, it was just a physical training. So naturally, he would lose to her. But he had something which nobody had.

THE SYSTEM!

Suddenly the screen popped in front of Chlevern,

[You have a new Mission

The enemy is too strong

The system will help you win]

*SWOOSH~~~*

'Ha, how can I forget I have my system with me', thought Chlevern with a smirk on his face.

[WARNING

Strong Killing Intent detected

Do you want extra power?

Y/N]

"Yes I want.", said Chlevern.

[The System will now grant you extra power, you will be temporarily promoted to A-Rank/

Super Mana stage]

[Do you want to activate skill BloodBath?

Y/N]

"Not now.", said Chlevern

[Okay]

*SWOOSH~~~*

"Talking to yourself won't work. Concentrate on our fight.", said Cressida, about to deliver one more blow.

But this time when she punch Chlevern, he caught her fist in mid-air, but the effect was too great that the ground around Chlevern started to crack.

'No way! Until now he was only being beaten by me, but now he defended my strong punch like it was nothing.', thought Cressida, a little shocked.

"Don't ever try to underestimate your enemy. He can be dangerous if you misjudge him too much.", said Chlevern, leaving her fist.

Cressida was took back by the sudden dodge and she stood away from Chlevern.

'He didn't try to hurt me. He could've easily hit me when he caught my fist but he didn't. Maybe he is different.', thought Cressida with some emotions building up inside her.

Cressida tried to attack more, but everytime he dodged or blocked her attack, without hurting her.

'Why is he not attacking? Does he think I will get hurt?', thought Cressida.

"Ha, do you think I am weak?", asked Cressida.

"No, you are pretty strong.", replied Chlevern.

"Then why aren't you hitting me? I want to end this fight quick.", said Cressida.

"I would rather not take your time, you can hit me.", said Chlevern.

Cressida was confused but then she attacked Chlevern with all her might.

"Activate skill Speed.", Chlevern said in a low tone.

[Skill: Speed has been activated

Your movements will increase by +20]

Just when Cressida's attack was going to land on him, Chlevern disappeared and reappeared behind

"Huh!? How did you- ", she was not able to complete her sentence as she had to dodge Chlevern's attack. She successfully dodge him and looked at him with disbelief.

"I said, you can hit me. But I never said I will not hit you back.", said Chlevern in a little teasing tone.

Chlevern's teasing made Cressida lose her cool. She had been trying to calm herself down due to Chlevern dodging all her attacks. But now, she can no longer be cool.

"ENOUGH OF THIS PLAYING! LETS GET SERIOUS.", shouted Cressida, with a pure look of fury.

"ENABLE THE RAGE MODE!!!", she shouted.

Her shouting made her more furious and her power was getting berserk. She can only sense one feeling, 'KILL THE ENEMY!'.

'Why do I feel like she just gave a command? Don't tell me she has a System like I do.', thought Chlevern, panicking a little.

"Now you will realise, what happens when a girl loses her cool.", she said with a voice heavier than before.

'Will I be able to survive her rage?', thought Chlevern, sweating a few drops.

Suddenly, once again the screen popped up in front of Chlevern,

[WARNING!

Your opponent's Rage is on the 7th Level

You will be promoted to a higher rank temporarily to face the Opponent's Rage.]

*SWOOSH~~~~~*

"Huh? tell me more about these Levels, System.", said Chlevern.

The screen popped up,

[Every type of Power is divided into levels:

2nd Level: Mild

3rd Level: Moderate

4th Level: Bearable

5th Level: Tough

6th Level: Strong

[There are also Levels of Win-Lose Probabilities :

1. Guaranteed Win

2. Easy Win

3. Win

4. Chance to Win

5. Half Chance

6. Tough fight

7. Little Chance

8. No Chance]

[The current analysis for you states that:

You have a 'Tough Fight' Opponent with power level 7: Too Strong.]

'So I have some hard luck. Tsk', thought Chlevern.

*Meanwhile in Dark Dungeon of Hell*

Artendo was strolling around in his park, when suddenly he felt huge amounts of Power Waves coming from the direction of The Bright Clouds of Heaven. He went to the Training centre and found that one of his female disciples, Cressida De'Lava was missing. He now realised that she has gone to Bright Clouds of Heaven, to challenge Chlevern without his permission. So he quickly rushed towards, The Bright Clouds of Heaven.

'Tsk.. Did she use 'That ability?', thought Artendo, annoyed.

*Back to Bright Clouds of Heaven*

Cressida was overflowing from power and rage and now she was ready to attack after she got herself to control it. Her power had now increased subsequently. She grew demonic horns, her nails grew and became sharper than knife, her canines grew sharper and she was overflowing with bloodlust. She took a fighting stance and was ready to attack Chlevern any moment. She launched from her position like a rocket and rushed at Chlevern with not physical force but her Powers.

He was not ready to take that attack and decided that it was best to dodge it so he jumped from his position and dodged Cressida's high speed and high power attack.

Cressida had kicked the ground vertically with her power which caused it to break and form cracks. Chlevern was now releived that he dodge that attack but the Fight was not over.

The ground could no longer be used as it was broken and below the ground was a deep chamber, which was used for punishments of those who lost the fights and were below B-Ranks. But when there was an unofficial exhibitional battle, the rank of the one to lose did not matter and he was sent to The Punishment Chambers.

Chlevern was in air when the system popped up,

[The ground is no longer in a usable state. Do you want to fight in air?

Y/N]

"Yes I want to", Chlevern said without thinking.

[Your response was submitted.

Ability, Light as Quill will now activate.]

*SWOOSH~~~~~*

Chlevern's body was now very light and he could remain in air as much as he wanted to.

He thought that now he had an advantage over Cressida as he was now in air, but something unexpected happened.

Cressida popped up wings from her back and started flying towards Chlevern to attack.

Chlevern's relieved expression now faded and he thought,

'Shit! What should I do now?'

The End
