Crack, splurt and snapping sounds from whips, intense air encompasses the place - with stronger and stronger heavy gusts from pure force blew amok- every millisecond, "It's 7 hours already!!..... call it!!" said Szlick to King Dekadora, Szlick drunk and excited for winning the bet. "Wooooo~~" he shouted, much to the three ministers distaste.
"I haven't lost yet!" The King banged his fists on his table - for he too was drunk and on edge, "Where's my wife?" he looked around.
"Sire! she went to the quarters with Prince Damien" replied Manan.
"Ratan!! Kick his ass already!The boy's only 5000 deins worth" shouted Dekadora aloud, his voice strayed the furthest away from sounding like before - a righteous voice of a King.
"7 hours 59 minutes 38 seconds!" Szlick teased the drunk old man.
Lucy - no appetite, with noodle legs - her knees: weak- arms are heavy - the sights of the once plain arena floor now covered in piles of flesh - made - fresh. With new grinded chunks every half a second or so before but now comes only frequently but still - more, the eye dictates - grotesque was the theme - especially for those of the faint hearted who such as Lucy slightly fall under - not so faint as to faint - literally - from the sight but enough to weaken one's appetite.
Sako watching with pinpoint accuracy, like she was one with the fight, a third party of sorts.
"Those aren't master's sexy flesh at all!" she said. Not bothered even slightly from the bloodshed and the massive floor re-do or the heavy gusts that blew. Lucy saw Sako, and she wondered, 'does he like bad and dangerous?, maybe i can change his beasty nature, I'll be like ''killing and bloodying people is bad'' and he'll be like ''I won't do it anymore my princess, '',' .
She pictured Lu as a handsome prince in shining armour riding a horse towards her and then she sees Sako, right behind her with her sexy everything and right then and there her fantasy crumbles , 'Hmm- Is it the dress? will I wear those drop-tops too?' *Lucy referred to what Sako wore underneath the robe* 'she doesn't had that scary robe on anymore, so drop-tops!?and and and we'll be walking home in the rain -- rain drops,drop tops - rain drops, drop tops.' a cute moment spent in her imagination, she snapped back into reality - and now completely ignoring her ill - feeling towards the grotesque butchery in play almost as though she's completely void of the feeling - feeling the spur of the moment, she stood up, "Kick hiss ass Lu!" she shouted. "Beat his ugly ass face!Master" shouted Sako, trying to not get one up-ed by Lucy, two rivals braved the heavy gusts that could easily break a small tree if it stood close.
"Ho-hohooo there's like 500? 600? kg of flesh down there, someone call the local butcher" joked Sir Barrone, he too looked a little courted by a sweet poison in disguise of a wine.
"Or a behemoth the thing won't need to feed for days with those!" said Lucy still in her -brain-off state - surprising the rest - for - before she'd shy away from looking at it.
"It's not a spectacle Sir Barrone, how dare he desolated the King's arena!" said Manan still harbouring ill-will, seconded by Shabadi, they're face says it all, anger and disdain on the buffoons who're set loose in the palace.
"The Fight's extraordinary, never have I personally seen Ratan go full on, except sometimes with his majesty!" said Ram'nga, "but the boy seemed a tad bit undisciplined but kids they are, spoilt but ... kids!" he added.
"Go doze off oldies it's past your bed time!" said Szlick , drunk and without any shred of respecting an elderly.
"WHY YOU LITT----" exploded Manan but he was stopped mid - start up - rant, "Lucy how's the meats treating ya?" asked Szlick, Interrupting the minister purpose-d-ly, with a little curiousity in Lucy's sudden change of expression.
"Meat?" asked Lucy unsure of what he meant, in her mind was Lu, 'he could've had his arms broken or worse fall off' she thought.
Szlick pointed down the arena's freshly made floor and his glasses stared fixed at Lucy, where then her face showed worried nature.
"Ugh!!" she said, turning blue.
"I don't really mind?!!!" said Lucy slowly, her voice sounded timorous and her face wrote -blue-. Szlick master of tell-tale signs - quick on his wits, he replied, "Hmm~~~ !" with a slight slur, leaving Lucy shy with pinkish-red paint on her face she grabbed a full plate of fruits in a panic - turned and stuffed her mouth to the fullest.
"Ehh~~~!" with means of a tease at Lucy, King Dekadora, Sir Barrone and Szlick, hymn in harmony. :*Making the poor girl thaw smokes from both ears*:
"Oh-huhu! anyway,,who is this blissful child!" asked Sir Barrone, "hmm" goes the senile perv - basking in Sako's petite yet plump -bosoms and derriere- physique.
Sako ignored the old man thirsty gaze and answered, "I am Master Lu's loyal servant!."
"Ho-hoho, I need a servant too!"
"I only serve one master old man!".
" Hmmm! That's quite a dedication!" said The King looking serious with his golden eyes at Sako, his eyes though drunk but it harbours a sense of knowledge-that understands secrets.
Sako felt uneasy, but the King brushed off his previous demeanor and shouted, "It's almost past 7 hours you twig, hurry up and finish him or you'll be doing homework with Damien for all the days that has yet to come!!!!".
Sako felt a sense that the King knows - her thing, but wandered why hasn't he voice out -yet- anything. She grew wary but her mind made prepared, 'when it comes! I'll say!' she says.
The King's absolute damnation that he decreed for Ratan if he loses the bet - was unheard of by the two warriors down the pit.
Their on-going consistent barrages of attacks added almost the same amount of meat chunks down the floor. Neither spoke nor blink only a smile of pure satisfaction, with eyes locked at each's - determined and aware. A series of punches, elbows, knees and kicks reigned their ever-existent consistency.
Lu still undamaged not even a bit, very clearly saw his opponent's regeneration speed, a millisecond of punches and - all - he received, he slightly could see Ratan's severed parts falling but that too becomes more and more sturdy and un-breaking.
However, Lu had a distaste in his moves for only one punch had he landed in their 7 hours long of a brawl. All damage or chunks of body parts severed were all causes of Ratan's hits getting back-fired.
Although Lu tried his best to struck his foe for just even a single faze, his years of experience in combat paled away from Ratan's skills in plain, for Ratan's speed and technique were instant fast and in sync, Lu's own monstrous speed was still unrefined and simply that of a beast, he still had fun though - and he thought, 'it's a training indeed.'
"7 hours motherfuckaaa!!" shouted Szlick standing up in a jiffy.
"Noooooooo!!!" shouted the King, banging and finally breaking his golden chalice,in contrary to Lucy's fear, the King wasn't angry but simply drunk and a cry of woe from a sore- but honourable loser.
"Pay up your Majesty!" Szlick bowed with the most elegance.
The King called for a maid, "Get 10000!" he whispered.
Lucy with a sigh of relief, "It's finally over?" she said - her eyes closed to rest a bit.
"Master!?" Sako stared straight down without any emotions in her eyes.
"My King you should not have to pay this runt!" said Manan, his beard spikes around in disgusts.
"I second that, he should know his place!" said a backer Shabadi.
"Welll... a bet is a bet!" said Sir Barrone eyes still on Sako.
"I second that!" said Ram'nga with a belly - full.
The maid returned with a huge sack, "Double or nothing!" The King proposed an ante-up.
"Oho-hoho isn't it now too late?! you haven't even talked to the one down there yet!" said Barrone calmly.
King Dekadora took a moment to think, which left Lucy and the three ministers sigh thinking that their meetings now would end. "DOUBLE OR NO---" suddenly shouted the King - but suddenly too he stopped in the middle, whence there he saw his Queen from behind a large pillar - who with a calm face slowly walked towards but still a husband knows for what is to come.
"End the fight, I lost!" he yelled, ranting gibberish in silence.
"Wooo~!", " Wooo~" danced Szlick- busting his hips in joy- in cadence-he was feeling it.
But, still in the meat filled pit the two monsters kept going on. Szlick took a hint from Barrone and decided to jumped and stop the two - but before he could move so much as even an inch King Dekadora plummeted down and stood down there in between. The two immediately halted, after hours of a stupidly fast brawl, the two finally now appeared to the ordinary - 'This is insane,, he was right there but I haven't seen his face for 7 hours straight, so strong but scary, and..and .... and... NAKED?' goes Lucy's mind. "Aye sheee(I see) !" she fell - with her nose hosing out blood.
Ratan bowed - on his knees. His bow-ed head saw his own -meat- severed body parts substituting the floor.
Lu assesses the floor, he smirked and shouted, "Meat anyone?" to the others - the two so focused on the fight they took no heed in their surroundings. Lu's joke results a forced loud laughter from Sako - who too with a slight bloodied nose - struggling to keep her eyes away from her master, with extreme effort she take a quick peep to the ministers "Laugh" she threatened them with her -green gas- made blade - and laughed they did the three ministers with sweats - of comic - fear.
"Bwahahahaaa You're squeezing the banana!" Lu laughed at Ratan who was naked and kneeling, completely without a care for his own - GOLDEN - in full display.
"We'll call it quits for now!" said Dekadora.
"Huh?! why?" asked Lu his expression made it clear, the kid wasn't up for quits.
"Sire! I'm just getting started!" Ratan too expressed his wants.
The King smirked.
"It's a draw for now! and you're both naked" he declared.
"Draw?! Fuck draw, get up,,,,,,let's go!" said Lu, with a smirk of excitement.
"Maybe another time, little man!" said Ratan, obedience of the highest order.
"Huh?! buut it's not --- even---- long?" said Lu - whilst looking around his words changes tones, "it's dark!" short and stupid with the same expression on his face - he remarked.
"7 hours boy! Did you had fun?" asked Dekadora, his eyes staring at the short kid.
"Yeaa- but I can't even hit the big guy, it's strange, I want to fight more,Mr.King" said Lu confidently.
Szlick signaled Lu - without a sound but only a moving lips, "Your Majesty" he said, his eyes signaling to the King.
"Sorry Mr. Majesty?"
Another signal from Szlick with the same exact scene but slower in motion.
"Mr. Magictea?" and on and on the duo went.
OH WHAT A COMEDIC EVENT.
"Mr. Be just D?" said Lu - unsure, leaning a bit, his eyes fixated at Szlick. The latter still on with his signal. All the while the King and Ratan and the rest smiled and watched the duo.
"Mr. Me - flesh - tea??" Lu wasn't even paying mind to the King anymore, he stood blank, nude and confused to catch what Szlick is telling him so much so that his jaw seemed unhinged.
"IT' S YOUR FUCKING MAJESTY!" shouted Szlick angrily, he can't contain the stupidity any longer - with that, he sigh a deep one for relief, but "Wait!" Szlick suddenly snapped, slowly he sees Lu staring at Dekadora.
"You're fucking majesty!" the latter said with his most capable bow of respect. Blank goes the faces, Lucy, Szlick and the ministers.
The Queen smiled so did Sako but then an unknown debris above Lu's head fell-ed closer to the nude fighter.
"YOU STUPID SHIT!" Szlick shouted from the gallery, the debris was a table launched by Szlick at Lu.
"Motherfucker!" Lu bickered back.
"Can't you see I'm Apologizing to his fucking majesty?".
"Wryyyyyy!!!!! Shut the fuck up!!" the two bickered on and on. Quarrels from his teens - the King reminisces, the time he spent training.
Darkness befalls, lights shone from houses. The air was chill and cold. In sloan too, however small - a village lit their dimmed - grimm lights, out of the houses around a fire they sat.
"Here's a plan Kid, I'll help you raid the mines and free the men, but we'll need to leave this place!" said Wadu, his serious manly mien hits harder -intensified.
"Leave but where?" asked the villagers.
"Here!" replied Wadu, pointing at a map they place - his finger directed at Watchers-keep.
"But we're not of the Kingdom! maybe Halhazar?" they conversed amongst themselves.
"I'll take responsibility!" promises Wadu to Al and the villagers.
Al looked determined and silent, taking it all in.
"When do we strike!" he asked.
"Tonight! when it's darkest!" answered Wadu.
Nodded Al, nodded the villagers.
Wadu a capable leader he tapped his fingers on the map and said "So here's the plan!".
In, the western corner of the Kingdom, besides the well paved - stones made road Bartholomew and his squad arrived at a sign "Dara and Lala veng" read Zudi, her brows slightly crooked - a little confused.
"What's veng?" she asked.
Marcus replied with a shrug, unexpectedly, "it means a place, towns, villages all included" answered Hothor.
"Eh? are you playing with us?" the squad asked him.
"No! I never play around!" with a flex Hothor replied.
"Is it a different language?" asked Marcus.
"The first language!" answer Bartholomew - who was looking at a bent-ed tree, from the branch a chair like swing, a top a perfect little bulge-a mini hill and behind it were fields of - different variety of crops.
"We'll spent the night here!"
"I'm proud and thankful for all of you in journeying with me. I just want to say, the world move on with or without us....., but so what? we will grow strong with that world and show everyone the might of the Knights from the rose order! His Majesty's Knights move out!" Bartholomew issued a command looking towards the further west, they're close to their destined place.
In the palace, the light-orbs shines bright and fun. Here , there, everywhere. Like fireflies lighting a maiden's dreams.
"I can't believe we're dining and sleeping in the palace!" said Lucy filled with jitters.
"It's thanks to Lu and Szlick!" said a happy Pay.
"I'm still confused....why'd the King put you in his call list?".
"Because I'm the fastest and the nicest!?".
Walking behind the siblings was an - un-blinking Sako with an expression of satisfaction and hunger -the drools from her mouth as noticed by the others. " Master's dong!", "Master's dong!" and on and on she utters.
"Eh!?" exclaimed Lucy - who just then remembered-she grew all red cheeks and slightly she shudders.
"Girl's are strange!" said Pay ignoring the two and opening up the dining hall.
"Wow!" he exclaimed - the sight he saw- dwarfs even his imagination of a hall. The bright large white chandeliers the long golden table, maids of forty four numbers stood in wait for requests-what, which more captivated the boy was the King's feat - a buffet. Meats of all that one can wonder, and foods of different colours - complimented the large hall and the aquarium walls did too- a number . Everywhere he look was a sight for pure awe.
But just besides the majestic door the dear little Pay saw - a sights of plain childlike encounter. Lu and Szlick still on their bicker and on unfamiliar grounds, they acted mature but failed asunder and laugh at each's proud blunder.
