Chapter 32 - Chapter 32: the arm-wrestling match of the century; the untamed aurora beast vs the holy shinagami.

"And introducing his opponent, known to be the demi god of the sun guild, the most calm person but most brutal when it comes to battle, the one who, was said to be known as the aurora beast…. The challenger… Hercules!" the announcer had called as I turned to see hercul, seated down, while smiling and staring at me, with his golden eyes. As his aura was flaring, like a raging ocean.

"Good luck, kami." He said, as he placed his arm on the table and like that. A shockwave had blown and shifted some of the tables, shocking people on how much force, he was able to create… by flexing his arm muscles.

"Is it too later to take back my money?-ack, ouch!" sahal had said but was hit on the head tamaki, who glared at him.

'Well this is going to be interesting.' Proteus had mentioned, as death was just laughing at my misfortune.

"Well, I guess there's no going back then… you're on!" I said with determination and with a confident smirk… on my face.

'Let's see who will become victorious… will it be the untamed aurora beast of the sun guild… or the holy shinagami.'

-----------------------

"Okay, you know the rules, no magic, no chronicle and no holding back so destroy each other!" the announcer had exclaim. As now everyone in the guild attention were now on me and hercul.

"Hahaha man kami is going down." One of the guild members had said.

"I hate to blow your bubble, but I think kami, is going to finish off hercul… no offense." Another one had commented, as hercul just nodded with a smile.

"None taken, in fact I actually don't care of winning. I just want to know how strong kami, over here is. By experiencing it first-hand." He stated with a confident smirk on his face, along with a very disturbing, calm demeanor. As I just got into position and had gripped his hand, as I could feel the raw power from him… it's like as if it is watching me.

"Okay boys, are you ready?" I heard zura comment, as she was in her normal mage outfit and one that was really reviving as always. As some of the man had started to whistle, and was admiring her outfit… pervert.

"Seriously zura, I thought I had told you not to wear that outfit again, if not, men could take advantage of you." I warned her as she just smiled and had gone behind my back, and had started to place her arms around my neck and pressing her big assets at me back, trying her perverted tricks on me… again.

"Come on kami-kun, you know that it can't happen, since you're here, and besides I wore it for you~ don't you like the view." She tried to seduce me but then i noticed that tamaki looked pissed off maybe I think it was because that zura was delaying the match… I think so.

"And he says that we will take advantage, look at him, his living the dream." One of the guild mates had mentioned as some of the man had stared at me with envy… I didn't want this

"Zura, I think you are delaying the match, so can you go please." Hercul had supposed, with a calm expression on his face, but zura just squeeze more on my back, as this just made tamaki angrier.

"Ohhh~ is hercul angry that he can get thi-." She was caught off by tamaki throwing her over her shoulder and taking her away.

"You owe me kami." She tells me as just smiled at her, which had made her blushed. As zura was struggling to get off but had no chance against tamaki iron grip.

"Okay now are you both ready?" The announcer had asked us, but then hercul expression had changed from a calm and relaxed expression, to a stoic and alert demeanor.

"Remember kami… I want you to go all out, as I will not show you any form of mercy…. So you better take this seriously." Hercul said with a stoic voice, as everyone where shocked by this.

"Man it seems that hercul is really serious about this… isn't it just an arm wrestling match." Indra said in astonishment but hercul change in demeanor, as ruk just smiled at the show.

"Why won't he be… when hercul knows a strong opponent he knows… but when he knows an opponent beyond his expectation… he knows" Ruk told Indra, as Indra just stared at him, but then turned back to them.

"Then don't disappoint me." I spoke back in a distorted tone, as nobody could hear or even notice it.

"Ready!" we both increased our grip on each other's hand, as our aurora had started to flare up.

"Set!" the wind around us had started to pick up, as it started to blow the people away; until ruk had quickly casted a magic barrier around me and hercul, in order to keep the guild safe from destruction.

"…. Go!" the announcer was blown back, by the spontaneous shockwave that me and hercul had released at the same time. As even the whole guild was shaking, even with the barrier casted over us.

"Shit! What power is this." Jack exclaimed in astonishment, and had managed to grip himself from getting blown away by the shockwave.

"Whoa, such power. It seems that no one has moved or pushed each other down!" the announcer said in amazement.

'Incredible… hercul power is too great and he is still able to keep a straight face… impressive.' I thought in amazement, and had smirked with interest.

'At least we can agree that, he really earns the title.' Proteus said, also acknowledging his power as it didn't take time for death to agree with him.

'OF COURSE, HE REALLY LIVES UP TO HIS NAME… HERCULES THE UNTAMED AURORA BEST, THOUGH I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD GET SERIOUS… BECAUSE HIS AURORA MANA IS JUST INCREASING, SO IT WILL MAKE SENSE THAT WE SHOW HIM THAT, WE LIVE UP TO OUR NAME… AND NOT AS THE HOLY SHINAGAMI… BUT AS THE UNLIVING SAGE.' Death said and with my rage ring at my index finger had started to crack, and had started to glow in a very bright red glow. My eyes had started to change color, and were now blood red; as this was making hercul quite surprise, but I just smirked at him. As in that split second that he focused at me; he actually saw something that made him too shocked… as he saw a glimpse of death.

"What…" he said as a large shockwave had erupted from my ring and this was able to tear of the bandages, reviving my rings and like that, the difference between us had increased.

"w-w-what is this… it can't be, the shinagami is pushing back the beast." The announcer had figured out what the current situation was about, but then something was now off about hercul… this time he wasn't stoic or frowning, instead he was now with a sinister smile that sent chills to the spines of the other; s they were confused by this.

"What is going on ruk is hercul angry, furious or upset." Indra and the rest were trying to get answers but then ruk just summoned his chronicle, shocking the rest of them.

"w-what happen ruk, why are you summoning your chronicle." Tamaki was worried about his sudden action, as she just let down zura, who was also concerned.

"Yeah, are there any hamjis nearby?" sahal had supposed but then ruk just point his hand over to me and hercul; as he started to increase his mana presence tenfold and was with a very serious look on his face.

"If only sahal, but this time it's even worst… hercul is getting… excited." Ruk mentioned as hercul had busted out with a crazy smile.

"Hahahahahaahahahahahha finally, someone who can really push me." He said, and then his mana had shot up as I started to find it hard to pin him down.

"oh on, space art: boundless chamber!" ruk casted, as multiple shield had started to condense and then conceal us within it. As me and hercul had started to feel the intense magic from each other, and like that it wasn't just the guild that was shaking, but the whole capital too.

"KAMI!!!!!" he shouted my name, as his aura increased and had formed a figure of Zeus with a reddish-golden armor around him.

"HERCULES!!!!!" I retaliated by releasing a massive aura burst, as my ring of rage was half broken. As my aura had form death with a scythe.

In the guild council:

"Who are creating this much aurora, it making the whole capital shake." Lord raiku had exclaim, but Michael just stared towards the sun guild base, as he just shake his head with displeasure, but was very impressed by the show of power coming from the guild.

"Shouldn't we send a group of elite s class to apprehend the situation-." Lady Koneke was caught off by Lord Edward, who was staring at the guild with a sinister smile, plastered on his face.

"They will be no need for that; I am enjoying the site of power…. Hahahaha Hercules has met someone who is giving him a challenge hahahaha." Edward had claimed as Michael just turned to him with a smirk on his face.

"And it seems that the challenger is really powerful huh, and also has this aura of death in his mana." Michael had observed as Edward just focused on the place. As what he saw was amazing.

"Hmmmm it seems that Zeus is arm wrestling death hahahaha." Edward said as everyone just stared at him with a confused look on his face.

"Whoa you have really lost it Edward hahahaha." Lord Raiku just rested his back on his chair, with his eyes close.

------------------

"w-whoa who knew that the calmest guy in guy in the guild could go crazy over arm wrestling huh." Tamaki had face palmed.

" I knew that I should have stopped this game… but alas, it seems that I was too late." Ruk said with a dramatic pose, as everyone just look at him.

"You were also betting." Indra said, as ruk just looked at him with an accused facial expression.

"I was just giving it to charity, you won't understand my conceptual outlook on life…" ruk said as everyone just shake their head in disappointment, but then suddenly the barrier had busted open to revive a very shocking site, as the announcer was perplexed by this.

"H-how… it seems that the winner is...."
